How to Get Airtel's Backend to enable Bridge Mode

[XU32]

Folks,

I see a lot of you have been successful in getting Airtel's Backend to enable the bridge mode on your connections. I have been at it for the past 4 days and I am yet to encounter a knowledgable individual at Airtel's Call Center. I have escalated it to the Nodal email provided and I am hopeful they get this done.; however, I wanted to pick your brains on how you managed to enable the Bridge Mode.

Any advice / guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks

PS: Anyone tried re-flashing the Nokia G-2425G-A? If you have any advice / guidance please DM/PM. Cheers

They have enabled bridge mode now, but did it on all ports 😂. I am able to get ipv6 address now, which i didn't get on airtel modem because in wan configuration, the ip mode was set to only ipv4

I am able to edit wan settings on Nokia 140w router and changed it to ipv4/ipv6 but ipv6 wan status on nokia says down. Ipv4 is up

Can u post the screenshot of wan details?. After they bridged it, the wan link went down in my ont and no wan details were visible in the ont. My router is Netgear.

@GR2 my ont is Nokia 140w. Bridge mode is enabled on 1 port. I can dual wan nokia as well as TP-Link.
On nokia if i enable ipv6 , it says disconnected/down but ipv4 works on it.

on tplink in bridge mode, ipv4 pppoe works but when i try to enable ipv6 on that internet does not work as there is no ip on it.

@Rickysin Do one thing, delete the wan profile (backup the config file first), go to lan settings and enable bridge mode on port 1.

 

[Rickysin]

Already deleted wan profile 6 months back. I am on bridge mode with TP-Link ax10 router.

On that ipv4 pppoe is working perfectly fine.
Ipv6 on enabling it does not provide any ip

 

[GR2]

@Rickysin Then my guess is that airtel is still not providing ipv6 yet in ur city.

 

[Rickysin]

Yes that might be the case but if they have enabled cg-nat in my city then what’s the reason of not providing ipv6?

i am using the same router and even i am unable to get ipv6 but i am in bangalore and no CG-Nat yet , so may be ipv6 not enabled yet.

I had same opinion till i tried openwrt router.
Stock firmware sucks on most routers imo.

 

[panks21]

@igloo Can you please post the routing table of Openwrt??

 

[Rickysin]

I will try to do direct pppoe to laptop bypassing TP-Link and see if i get ipv6

For some reason bridge mode increased the latency by 7-10 ms, so i gave the request to disable bridge mode on thursday and it was disabled yesterday. Is it normal for latency to increase in bridge mode?.
