Hey everyone,
I found a discarded Airtel Xstream AirFiber router (Model: AAP321NK / Qualcomm Nokia platform) and want to repurpose it as a private access point or flash it with OpenWrt.
The custom Airtel firmware is completely locking me out of the local web server. Here is what I’ve verified:
Network: After a 30-second hard reset, the router assigns local IPs perfectly (192.168.1.X) via Ethernet and the Airtel_Zerotouch Wi-Fi.
Ping Test: Running ping 192.168.1.1 returns a flawless <1ms response with 0% packet loss. The hardware is fully responsive.
The Issue: Trying to open the gateway page in any browser (Incognito, mobile data off, etc.) immediately gives an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.
It seems the firmware shuts down Ports 80/443 because it can't find an active Airtel 5G cellular tower to authenticate.
Has anyone successfully bypassed this activation lock? Is there a hidden port/URL path to force it open, or does this require opening it up for a UART serial flash / NAND shorting?
Thanks!

Hello there!

Since a few days, SLAAC isn't working on my br-lan interface.

I am able to get an IPv6 prefix from my ISP:

These are the odhcpd logs I am getting:

And here is my routing table:

I've tried connecting from a wireguard client, to which I've assigned a manual ULA address (fd00:42:0:7::3). I am able to use ipv6 that way, with masquerading, and I am also able to ping the router's ULA (fd00:42::1).

However, br-lan clients won't get neither an ULA nor a GUA.

Edir: fixed, my upstairs switch was not allowing ipv6 traffic somehow (it's a smart switch)
