Need help with router capabilities for Airtel fiber plan upgrade

[PunkX 75]

Hi all,


I currently use Airtrel Extreme Fiber broadband and on the 300 Mbps plan. Works fine on the router provided by them - Sercomm AOT-4221SR. Wifi speeds don't matter to me, since my main PC runs ethernet. I plan on upgrading to the 1 Gbps plan and wanted to know if over ethernet, that router will handle a throughput of at least 80% of that speed. I can't find any speed specifications on that router. I don't want to go through the hassle of buying a new router and setting up bridge mode, by going back and forth with Airtel's CS. Just want to use the one router.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Since your current 300 Mbps plan is working fine over ethernet, your router ethernet ports should be Gigabit ports and hence 1 Gbps plan should work well over ethernet.

How much were you paying for the 300MBPS plan before and how much are you going to pay now for the 1GBPS plan? Please tell including GST.

In kolkata, internet is way costlier, compared to North and South India. For 300 Mbps, I was paying 1780 (with tax), 1 Gbps is 4718 (with tax)

You are eligible for new airtel 1 gbps router also . Please ask them to upgrade. That router comes only with 1 gbps plan and it’s free

Yes, I got a call from the engineer a little while back. They will come in sometime and change the router

Router installed. Speeds better. Huge improvement over WiFi, as well (since it's now WiFi 6).
