Working around Jio-Fiber Bridge-Mode limitation

The Problem

For a long time, my home network setup was “good enough”, but good enough doesn’t cut it when you want minimal latency, proper security, and zero ISP bloat. I run an ASUS RT-AX88U flashed with Asuswrt-Merlin, sitting behind a Jio-Fiber router (SRCMTF1_JCO4032_R2.59) acting as a gateway. It was a double-NAT architecture with the Jio router using the 192.168.0.0/64 IP range & the ASUS router using a 10.0.0.1/64 IP range.The Jio-Fiber router was being a real bottleneck for performance in front of my high performance ASUS router. You can’t get rid of the router either as it performs the authentication process with Jio’s servers. So, if we just connect the SC fiber terminal to a simple media converter and then connected ethernet from it to our main router, there will be now internet access.

This is the first post of the blog.

In case you are here, let me give you a tip.

If your espresso feels a bit too bitter, adding a little pinch of salt neutralizes it.

Have fun brewing :)
