Trying to connect my device but getting a Missing or invalid DeviceId element. Here is the XML which I am getting in debug. Any suggestion will be helpful.

You need to raise this with your vendor. They are violating the spec by not providing the OUI. See [page 66, table 36 of the spec](https://www.broadband-forum.org/download/TR-069_Amendment-2.pdf).

Had this problem with an particular firmware version of an ZTE ONU, i added this to the soap.ts file to fix it.

This is not a good solution so I instead tried to ‘fix’ the missing OUI with the value it was supposed to be. I also added an warning to make this problema easier to spot.
