Good News Configured Airtel Fiber internet access on TP-Link XX530v XPON router

@Bapun bro, good choice of the Router.

BTW how did you configure it yourself, i mean dont you have to provide the ISP with the hardware details like mac, serial no, pon ID, etc ??? Asking as i have no much knowledge of how these things work

Airtel doesn't use mac binding on their router unlike other ISPs, so I didn't needed to clone the mac ID.

The GPON serial number needs to be copied from the Airtel router and filled on the TP-Link router, after that the GPON state goes to O5 (registered).

No need to fill much details. The PPPoE username and password only need to be filled on the WAN interface setup. VLAN ID is 100 for Airtel. The rest of the details can be set to auto, and those will be auto-fetched after successful authentication.

The PPPoE username and password only need to be filled on the WAN interface setup.

Where to find this ?

Where to find this ?

On your Airtel router's web management page (192.168.1.1), most of these details can be found, including GPON Serial Number, PPPoE username, VLAN ID, and more.

And, for the password, you can go through my previous post.

I don't have a Wi-Fi 6 compatible laptop/desktop to check this, bro.

However, like @IfranAli bro said, AOT-5221ZY is not optimised, so it drops the network speed after some time. That shouldn't be the case with a renowned networking brand router like TP-Link.

Well both Jio and Airtel have "workable" router and "meh" software.
That's why I always go for 3rd-party hardware with good software support.
