How to use static IP with bridged mode?

[Rehan Kumar]

I guess the previous comment better explained it, it's not a single 2 gigabit connection but 2 different IPs running at 1 gigabit each through a single ONT

I shared quite a bit about this around a year ago on this forum

Ohh I get it.. via bridge?

 

[Rehan Kumar]

Yes indeed

Ok, so far so good. The static IP is behaving well no dropouts latency increases ping times etc.

@Rehan Kumar can you point me to that post(s)? I joined this forum early '21 and don't believe I have seen it.

I have a static Ip address from Airtel as well and I am running it in bridge mode. I am experiencing disconnect frequently. It's almost unbearable now.

Yeah, Thats the issue I have raised here, and nobody has got the solution as of now.

Static IP running stable here, however, the speed is an issue. They're unable to resolve it. I am dropping from 1 gig back to 300 Mbps in the next few days. I just may retain TSBB at 1 gig as their own router is able to hit 800+ Mbps, let's see.

It disconnects when Idle or even when in use?
Are you using your ont for internet too or the wan profile from ONT is deleted?
Which router is bridged? TP-Link?

@Aashish.007
Disconnects even in use.
Yes, the ONT has its own PPPoE profile and As the ONT is locked for me, I cannot disable it.
No, for me, the bridge router is Linksys WRT-1900AC.

@Chip Have you able to get IPv6 (static or dynamic) address configured with IPV4 static IP address in bridged mode?

 

[Chip]

@stroper no, IPv6 isn't enabled for my area of the city. So I am on static IPv4. However, now that I have dropped back to 300 Mbps I'll probably get rid of the static IP as well.

I have the same setup, Dragonpath (707GR1) ont from Airtel and Tenda Ac1200 with static IP and have the exact same issue, disconnection after 15 - 20 min while in bridge mode. also getting 900M - 1GBPS on a 200 Mbps plan ever since I opted for static IP.

 

[Chip]

@Zenithx99 please test if these disconnections occur on wired LAN. Connect directly to the router (Tenda) or to LAN port 1-3 on the Airtel ONT to check if there's a fault in the connectivity due to the fibre cable. A static IP doesn't need authentication like PPPoE it is constantly on without the overheards of PPPoE.

 

[nishantt6969]

Its not any fault in fiber cable as everyone with static Ip in bridgemode faces the same issue, including me.

 

[Chip]

If it's not the fibre then it's a wider problem. I have been using a static IP v4 since nearly a month and it has been rock stable. I think its most likely a regional (North?) issue something only Airtel can resolve for those facing this problem.
