@imdarkray you too see bro.

 

[JB701]

yes, you set the bridge mode properly. the reason Huawei router was showing before was because of double nat.

 

[nishantt6969]

@JB701 thank you. But how everytime I disconnect LAN cable, the IP changes?

 

[JB701]

yes, that is your public IP Address, on airtel public ip is dynamic.

earlier, on Huawei the IP would have changed instead as that was doing pppoe.

 

[nishantt6969]

on Huawei IP changes after reboot only, but here it changes by simply pulling out of LAN cable snd putting it back.

you are on dsl right? if you unplug the telephone cable plugged into Huawei, the ip should change.

regardless, not a big issue to have a dynamic ip (atleast you are getting a public ip 😛)

Also please let me know the benefits of this mode in terms of connection stability.

fiber.

 

[JB701]

If you disconnect the fiber cable then itll change i think (on Huawei).

Double NAT is generally bad for latency and performance as both Huawei and Tenda will have to do NAT/Routing.

You will also get all the software features of Tenda router as well. Port forwarding would be easier too, you can enable UPNP on Tenda and open NAT for games and stuff (wont be possible with double nat).

Wow. Thanks. but I just noticed, my plan is 300mbps and I am getting only 94mbps.

 

[nishantt6969]

Speed is stuck at 94mbps.

 

[nishantt6969]

@JB701 pls help 🙁

 

[JB701]

Its because the router/pc is syncing at 100Mbps instead of Gigabit as it should. Very likely the cable connecting Huawei and Tenda is the problem. Can you send pic of that cable?

Are you getting more than 100 on WiFi?

 

[nishantt6969]

I used to get 360mbps up and down before bridge mode through same config(same lan cable), but now its not happening.
