Unable to Edit 5ghz SSID name in ZTE Router (Airtel Xstream)

[Sunny_78951]

Hi previously I was able to edit SSID 1 and SSID 5 names.. Reccently I had reset my device from then the router is automatically going back to previous settings/configuration and I cant edit SSID5 name, It's directly assigning SSID1 name and settings and not giving option to edit it. Attaching Screenshot . Thank you.

You reset the router and airtel pushed their custom firmware from backend which locked the settings, you wont be able to edit it now.

Didn't get u, if I didn't reset my device will I able to edit it? Irrespective of update? Or the update is preventing me to edit it? What's the solution to use seperate bands? By enabling other SSID's ?

And can u pls tell me how to enable bandwidth control in this router? ZTE F670LV9.0

 

[nishantt6969]

in simple terms, you can not edit settings now.

 

[nishantt6969]

there is no bandwidth control thing in this ONT.

you can use external router capable of bandwidth control like TP-Link archer c6 or a6, tenda ac10 1200mbps, put your ont in bridge mode and use your router for routing.

Okay thank you

Many settings are locked in ZTE F670L after firmware upgrade. Now you can not create a new connection which could have been used to put ONT into Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode is to be enabled by Airtel NOC team from backend.
Do confirm this with them and get it set up correctly and tested before investing in a new router.
You have have to tussle with them to get it set up. They might deny initially.
Contact net@airtel.com if things don't work out well with 121.

Note - I am using ZTE F670L with Software Version V9.0.10P1N16B and as of now I am able to edit SSID name but WAN settings are greyed out

 

[nishantt6969]

I have the unlocked firmware but if anyone finds a method to flash it I am willing to provide that.

SSID can be set in airtel thanks app right?

 

[Sunny_78951]

@rohitks I don't want to go for another router so not much worried about bridge mode etc.. I'm also using the same version 'V9.0.10P1N16B' can u check once whether u can edit SSID 5 ? I can't edit SSID5 rest I can edit

 

[Sunny_78951]

@hariselio Yeah we can set in Airtel app but both bands are showing in one name, I want different configuration for both bands. Previously I was able to do that but not now

 

[rohitks]

I can edit at the usual text box for SSID5 Name
Local Network -> WLAN -> WLAN SSID Config --> SSID5

 

[Sunny_78951]

@rohitks why it's locked for me then 🙁 I'm using the same version
