List of Modem Routers that can be used with Airtel Vfiber/Vdsl
Is this modem locked by airtel to function only on its network? I tried to reconfigure this to work on the bsnl network, but the modem refuses to work in spite of going through the wizard multiple times. I tried rebooting, resetting but no success. I was told by the service provider that the VCI/VPI settings are to be 0/35 but they are 0/32 for airtel, and while I tried to change this, I was unable. Any help would be appreciated.
how do we login to this router to view/update settings?
in browser open 192.168.1.1 username & password is admin
Such a feature constrained router. Wanted to use it along with my existing network setup comprising of a load balancing router and eventually with my NetGear X6. No go!
Can’t change to bridge mode, can’t change dhcp host settings from default 192.168.1.1. Other than the fact that it supports VDSL2, this is an inferior product compared to Rs 600-700 offerings commonly available.
Is it possible to get more details about the modems used by Airtel for vfiber ? I was told by Customer care that they have following models HG510 / HG659 From Huawei.
But I can’t find anything on these models like no specific information.
Please help.
Is this modem better than TP-Link TD-W8970, in terms of speed? Because I use a Network storage, which only works good with Gigabit Lan. Airtel is asking me to change to the new technology and are offering this HG360A modem.
I have attached my 1TB hdd to it. Only ftp can be enabled for usb drive. No gigbit port in this router.
No DLNA like in HG360B version of same modem used in other countries.
You can use it as vdsl modem by disabling wifi in settings and connect your existing tplink TD-W8970 as wifi access point/usb file sharing by connecting tp-link’s wan port to huawei lan port.
