I didn't have one then. Sercomm one would've been perfect for bridge mode) everything was unlocked) recently purchased a couple of routers so regretting my decision now

@napstersquest How long have you been using Airtel? The 999 plan alone costs around ₹1178 including GST. You even have static IP and DTH included.
Can you share the itemised bill hiding your details?

Are you planning to use another router with it (putting Airtel provided one into bridge mode?)
If yes, then get the default Sercomm (the black one that looks like a DTH box). It is pretty easy to configure and range is good. Only downside is, if you plan to use it as the main router, then you can't configure more than 8 port forwarding rules (as it was on the firmware when I tested. Not sure if it has been updated)
Nokia has good range but it's admin panel takes forever to load and to apply changes.
ZTE and Huawei are good too (I think Huawei has only 2 LAN ports)

I took a connection about 15 days back and when asked for choice of router I was told that there is no, I was given a zyxel one.

Installation team denied the possibility of getting other than Nokia one. [emoji855]

Just activated static IP and getting over 500Mbps but only on peered network like Steam, PlayStore, etc.
Downloading from sites like Zippyshare or torrent is giving me usual 130Mbps on my 100Mbps plan.
Probably going to drop it before billing cycle ends because extra Rs240 is not worth it for just Steam.
Can I convince Airtel to drop static IP's price from 199 to 99?
They provide this price to old customers.

4 x Gb LAN, 1 x RJ11 and 1x USB port on huawei. Also 2 external antenna for dual band wifi.
Yes sorry. Forgot to correct myself. I was talking about Dragon Path router. It has Airtel Xstream branding in the front, and only 2 gigabit LAN ports.
Hide your landline number (at the top) haha
I couldn't understand that 999 plan cost approx 1180 after adding GST, How you are getting at 1022??
I didn't understand that either. Probably it started on 3rd or 4th day of month.
Now the bill is 1300 something per month

Finally got the Airtel connection in my home city. I just used to keep trying in Airtel app since last 1.5 yrs ever since it reached in my city, got lucky this time. Although Jio was available since last few months but terrible quality of Jio router kept me from opting for it.
Put the query for connection in morning, got the call in 45 mins confirming that it's available in my area. By 12 p.m all the documentation was done and the connection was up by evening (would have been up by mid-noon but there was some issue at their store in issuing material)
I've received the Nokia router, plan is 899 for 100Mbps. Speeds are 120-125, ping to Dota servers in SE asia is approx 65ms. Connection has been rock solid in last 15 days with zero down time(As it should be) and what a relief from local provider's poorly routed connection which also featured atleast 1-2 five minute+ downtime everyday and once a week an hour+ downtime.
Nokia router is working great, very decent range for 5Ghz and I think a better placement can further improve it.
I was having terrible time watching any videos on twitter & reditt without a VPN on my last connection and that has been mostly been sorted on Airtel but of late it has been plaguing me again although not as severely as before but the videos buffer quite a bit and downgrade in quality. Any one else facing this ?
