    Info Sharing - Putting Airtel GX 2122A in Bridge Mode - FTTH

    In India IPv4 is exhausted and no ISP I believe offers public IP anymore. Only a few like Airtel, Tata etc offer static IP 4 that too it’s not disclosed on their product pages. It’s only on need basis for extra cost. I briefly told you about SoftEther VPN. It in fact is free and offers IPv6...

    Info Sharing - Putting Airtel GX 2122A in Bridge Mode - FTTH

    I not only changed my ONT I also changed my ISP!!! Airtel ONT Routers were not much locked, up until a few years ago, but the newer models and its firmware has locked most of the settings including Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode has nothing to do with Public or Private IP. It’s a separate process...

    General Query How to contact real customer support agent - Amazon?

    Yes that's another aspect but I guess cost cutting is also part of it. In the end the end customer does not get quality of service. I finally managed to return my faulty product. Also I believe the fitness for purpose is lacking in most products these days. I bought a travel adapter which was...

    Suggest me a good UPS for my 850w PSU

    Generally most UPSs have just a handful of buttons and limited options. Did you try checking thru any provided software app (if available) in case that may be controlling some features? How about other options if any, are they retained or also lost after power cycle? Otherwise do contact the...

    General Query How to contact real customer support agent - Amazon?

    Thank you very much for sharing the number. Will surely try. Edit ----- I finally managed to get connected to an agent on chat. The the trick I followed is I asked Rufus (Amazon AI) that I want to chat with an agent and it replied with a link. After nearly going in endless loop of 'No...

    General Query How to contact real customer support agent - Amazon?

    Hi, As the title suggests I have a hard time finding the option to actually connect to a real support agent on Amazon. It seems they have removed that option. I tried both web site and app but no luck. Does anyone know how do to it. Earlier it would open a chat window and then I would tell AI...

    Seller Query Is The Indian Book Store.in a SCAM site?

    Site does not look scam but the way they have put disclaimers in Contact Us sections turns me off from buying anything from them.

    SN5100 or SN850X

    After a very long time I managed to get into this forum. Every time I login, I am automatically logged out. It’s understood that this is server-side caching issue but with no one looking into it, I have actually asked Mods to delete my account, so these could possibly be my last posts on this...

    Assistance with selective components for a home PC

    What I suggest is if you have spares (or can manage ones for some time) like PSU & storage, build the same PC outside of cabinet first. Test it out if it really works then install Windows 10, get the first-hand experience and then decide. So even with Windows 10 you may not get a good computing...

    Assistance with selective components for a home PC

    You need to decide why you wish to revive your old PC. Is it sheer enthusiasm or you actually plan to use it for whatever term it works! Since your existing HW is too old, dates back to 2009~2011 it may or may not last longer. So you can consider buying inferior parts. Any basic ATX cabinet with...
