Most ISPs do, with Airtel it’s pretty easy. Same for BSNL. Jio I think needs some extra tweaks.

@guest_999 Or you could get an ONT on your own, and use that. I've been running that way for a while now. Just need to clone the GPON serial to the new ONT and it usually starts working. After that you can use your own router without any restrictions.

Any particular reason for avoiding refurbished/renewed units? Micro form factor PCs from Dell, Lenovo, HP are pretty solid devices, and you see them for sale mostly those used by big companies which need to cycle the units every 3 years or so. I got a Dell Micro last year, and when I got it...

Correct, when using the stock firmware, if wireless mesh is used, it seems to use one of the two 5 GHz radios as dedicated backhaul. Even on OpenWRT, you could configure the same way.

Some images from stock firmware, this is my second unit and its currently in bridge mode. The non-bridge mode has some more options. Any OpenWRT capable unit can do mesh with wired or wireless backhaul, but what makes this better is, it is tri-band with 3 radios, so you can use one of the...

On stock firmware USB won't work, but with OpenWRT/DD-WRT it does work. Regarding the Mesh, that's right. I was able to setup mesh without issues using the stock firmware. However, I found the stock firmware pretty limited, so I installed OpenWRT snapshot.

No, all are 1G ports. 2GB RAM/1GB storage. The stock firmware supports wireless and wired mesh. If you install OpenWrt you can do pretty much anything.

Will be approx 1.5 kg for the device, power adapter and ethernet cable. This is a great price actually, I am suspecting they have not considered the box to be as big and the weight on Amazon.com is also on the lower side. So those interested place the orders soon, as once they start receiving...

I'm aware that they'd consolidate by removing the product from the shipping box (outer box) and combine multiple products as a single package, however normally such consolidation happens keeping the manufacturer's box if present as-is I would think. I think in the pics you shared also they did...

How so? Planet Express uses volumetric weight right and not actual weight. Volumetric weight is bit more. Unless you get it shipped to some contact in US, re-package it, and re-ship to PlanetExpress without boxes. Does PlanetExpress do re-packaging by removing boxes? I guess not.

It came to around 5.5k per unit. Shipping via Aramex SnS Flexi came to 2.6k (2 kg) Customs came to Rs 800 + Rs 531 (handling charge) (Declared it at 20 USD itself) I think if you use Planet Express with their Premium Mailbox, order 4 units or so, consolidate as one package, I guess after...

Got one package of Linksys LN1301 delivered today. Seems like a pretty solid device. The weight was indeed ~ 2 kg and the dimensions were as I mentioned earlier. The packaging itself would have added some 500 gm to the weight :sweatsmile: Didn't get a chance to play around yet, but...

You can try from Amazon if you are actually in GP2.

Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing for the last one year or so.

Grace Period 1 and 2. Once your pack expires, you are moved to GP1 for 7 days and after that to GP2. Not sure about the GP2 validity, but it is couple of months, but you won’t get any calls or messages. After GP2 they can reclaim your number.

I have a BSNL SIM which I mainly use for incoming calls, and I've been recharging with Rs 201, which gives 90 days validity with some calls and data that are valid for the 90 days. It is available only for those in GP-2 so once the current pack expires, I just wait till I move to GP-2 and then...

This I feel is an issue with the pickup process (not the fault of the person doing the pickup, but the process itself). There should be checks to verify that the product returned is same as what was delivered. While I understand that a pickup person is not qualified to ensure all this, the...

@SR007 There are two checks and are separate. One is the ONT authenticating with the OLT. For EPON, maybe only the serial is checked. In my past experience, my LCO didn’t have any checks on EPON, I could just swap the ONT and it would work. After he switched to GPON, there is the GPON serial...

Yes, my postpaid plan also got switched from 199 to 299. The message said UL 5G will not work, however post plan change, I do see the UL 5G addon listed in the Jio app. It might get removed in a couple of months maybe.

I had a good experience with this V-Guard inverter. I mainly got it for the smart features. It works great, no issues seen. The smart features also work perfectly. I live in a flat so can't use the solar features, but installing 1-2 panels in say an individual house would definitely help in case...
