Good News Airtel Fiber with Nokia WiFi 6 (AOT4221NK) router: First impressions

[Msingh]

Did anyone reach out to you? This is the main option im looking at. Setting Custom IP Address Range and Custom DNS. Also Mac-IP Reservation

I have been offered to set bridge mode which I have denied. It seems that local tech doesn't have any option or other credentials to set DNS but still have been promised for call back. Let's see how it goes.

For now, I have set static IP on my both TVs to use custom DNS.

Interesting, I called the guy too he said there are no extra credentials and only the creds that are on the router that is admin/serianumber
wish we can somehow change the IP ranges and yeah I have set my devices to static ips but sometimes there is conflict between DHCP and static IPs. On the prev router i used to set dhcp range from 1.100 -> 1.250 and all static ips were below 1.100 so never conflicts

Yes but so far I have not received any conflicts but yes even that is not allowed to set on this router. You can't reserve or assign IP to specific device.

Yes actually setting static ip on all devices including custom DNS is not enough because DHCP is anyway by default active so it checks first.

They should provide option at router level.

I don't understand why they restrict LAN settings.

You may restrict us to change WAN settings but LAN settings prevention is not acceptable.

Exactly, restrict WAN but what's wrong if I'm using some other DNS or customising DHCP settings.

How's this one compare to the zyxel wifi 6 ont router?
I'm currently on zyxel router is the Nokia router better in terms of performance?
