TP-Link AX10 V1.0 --> 1600/-
It has minor scratches on the glossy finish so 4/5. Otherwise no issues physically or functionally. Excellent range and stability in mesh setup. This is the original Tri-core, 256MB RAM spec which was downgraded in later revisions. Supports EasyMesh/OneMesh and WPA3.

TP-Link XZ000-G3 V2 --> 900/-
No cosmetic or functional issues (5/5). Purchased recently from another TE member. Works perfectly with my JioFiber and Airtel XStream connections both. This particular model (G3) is known for its wide compatibility with ISPs unlike the newer G7.

Both are running the latest stock firmware and have been factory reset. Original chargers and unused ethernet cables included. Boxes available.

Sorry for off-topic, but what is the advantage of using an ONU like this? Does it replace the default one we get from JIO / Airtel or does it have to be used in series with it?

It replaces the Jio/Airtel provided ONU. For me, I did it for the following reasons.

- To eliminate double NAT (Although CG-NAT is still used by Jio/Airtel). It helps avoid complications in specific scenarios and reduces latency slightly. I don't know if this was the cause, but I had far less instances of getting stuck in long loading screens when playing with my friends in games like Diablo 4 or Forza.
- I was using a TP-Link EasyMesh setup in my house and I noticed that unless I directly connect my devices to the Jio Gateway, they were not getting public IPv6 addresses for some reason. The TP link router also did not get an IPv6 address assigned in spite of using the right settings.
- Jio DNS servers had inconsistent performance and censored access to sites. Using public dns servers fixed this but they become inexplicably slow after a day or so of using them. This happened with all major DNS servers like Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS etc.
- Weird network latency issues and connection drops when using the Jio provided ONU Router. Elements in sites would often be broken or won't load and I needed to refresh the page again. Content in apps like Reddit, YT would load slowly or need a refresh.

Replacing it with this ONU and allowing my own router to handle everything minimized or eliminated all of these issues. Using QoS improved bufferbloat from rank D to A and eliminated latency spikes. Google DNS finally worked without slow downs. I no longer needed to reboot the Jio Gateway and my mesh network every couple of days to maintain performance.

JioFiber still has higher latency compared to other ISPs but the difference in connection quality is night and day compared to earlier. One good thing about JioFiber in my area was that the connection itself never went down even once in the last 2 years. So I was reluctant to switch to another ISP. But recently I got Airtel Fiber and it seems good so far. If the uptime is good, I'll cancel my JioFiber connection.
