Are these ONU readings even possible?

I have 3 WAN Profiles on the Sercomm, with one as a bridge. All three are connected to a load balancer and working quite well. They all should be bound to a specific port.

ok that went over my head. let me get this straight: are you saying if I setup to 2 pppoe WAN profiles (1 mine , 40mbps another my family member's say 100mbps) will I get combined speed or what ( 140mbps) ? 😅

@Md Faraz yes you can do that provided your router can handle dual WAN and has load balancing + fail over function.

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

@Md Faraz or you can just use the same PPPoE credentials and login two times or even three. That's what I am doing.

But if you do your way then, 40=49 and 100=121 so, yeah 170Mbps.

This is what I get on my Airtel 100Mbps connection.

I'm having ZTE router. Will try it. Thanks btw.

wow that sounds cool. btw will it work for 1 pppoe + 1 static also ? Coz one of my family member's is having static ip also( yes with gig speed) and few of them pppoe.

Please note, that the load balancing is only possible on a router with OpenWrt or PFsense system or a proper load balancer hardware. This process does not happen on Airtel ONU.

Hey guys just wanted to point out some Asus routers can handle dual WAN + load bal. + failover functions. I think other mid to high end routers from Netgear, Linksys et al also have these functions. It depends on model. So please check the feature list. Obviously the 'basic/starter' router models won't have em.

Also, if you expect this on Airtel's or other service provider's ONT you're expecting too much 😀 They are basic models. Switch the ONT to bridge mode (via Airtel) and let your personal router handle all the hard work.

 

[Md Faraz]

@Lolita_Magnum Yes you're right. maybe that's why it didn't work on ZTE. Just now I tried same credentials two times. both shows connected but same speed.

Btw one more thing when I delete my pppoe WAN profiles and setup only my family member's static IP profile, or even pppoe profile, with their dsl id and account no, then under WAN status, I can see ipv4 connection status as CONNECTED in both when I tried only Static ip and only pppoe (and get an IP address assigned in PPPoe case) but still the internet doesn't work . any guesses why?

 

[Chip]

That's probably because the ONT doesn't know which one to use as the outgoing WAN. 🙂 When you have 2 PPPoE WAN connections then it will use just one of them. As I said before...these are basic models. 😀

@Chip @Lolita_Magnum how did you do it?
Get multiple ports set to bridge, create separate profiles for each port in personal router and then use something like mwan3?

 

[Md Faraz]

@Chip yes you're right. but what about when I am setting only one profile of my family member; either static or pppoe .. botht are getting connected but still internet doesn't work even if im setting up only one profile at a time .

 

[nishantt6969]

He meant multiple routers connected through bridge and pppoe active on those routers.

 

[Chip]

@Md Faraz then you have one or more of the WAN settings set incorrectly.

@nishantt6969 multiple routers? How? From what I know Airtel bridges only 1 port on the ONT.

 

[Md Faraz]

No I'm pretty sure I'm filling the details correctly. After filling my family member's static IP details in my router, the ipv4 connection status is says connected but still internet doesn't work , as you can see in the images.
same for pppoe profile also .
