Changing DNS wont increase your download speed its just for a faster browsing experience as in some cases using a different DNS can reduce the time it takes to find the host ip of a website.

We often observe that when we type a site name or click on site names that are found by search results, sometimes it takes a quite a while to load the site or show the page. This is because, the DNS is not able to find that web server quickly enough.

By changing to open DNS, the address resolution of a website to the real IP address(www.<something>.com to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) will be faster.

Hence if you type a site name that is not so popular, open DNS will resolve it faster and take your browser to that site faster than say BSNL's or Airtel's DNS. Other than that there is no change.

Downloads will certainly remain unaffected.

Hey i think the issue in INdia is that the VPI and VCI vary for all the providers.

It should be fixed as in other countries.

hi, i am new to this forum. i sat around 4 hrs to find the answer to above question. please help me if you have any solution. just now i ve seen helping one guy by other reg router configs, as per my knowledge he worked for Airtel in chennai or blore. am i correct....... ok please help me out with the above question.......give a buzz to my mobile 919701755577 / 919704288855

hai,

Its is possible to configure a bsnl's router to work with airtel broadband.

there is list of things that u must know before u start!!!

1.The ip of the router(mostly 192.168.1.1)

2.Admin password, so that u can log in make the changes(mostly the username would be admin and the password also admin)

3.An ethernet card on u desktop or laptop(regarding the wireless part, i would help u later)

4.A cat 5 utp patch cable(straight cable) that connects from ur router to ur workstation

5.The VPI(virtual path identifier) and VCI (virtual channel identifier)
in the case of bsnl it is 0(vpi) and 35(vci)
in the case of tataindicom broadband it is 0(vpi) and 32(vci)
ask ur airtel guys about the above and below
6.the dns servers ip addresses.

7.Ur router must be turned on(u can see the indicators on the router like power,wan,ppp,lan etc

8.Finally ur airtel broadband's user name and password.

Now into configuring

if ur machine has windows xp professional, right click "my network places" on ur desktop select properties. now if u have

installed ur NIC(network interface card or ethernet card) properly, u must see LOCAL AREA CONNECTION, right click it go to

properties, selet tcp/ip click properties. Now u would be seeing a window saying ip address, subnet mask, default gateway,

preferred dns servers address.

In the ip address type 192.168.1.x(x=2-254 not 1, because its the ip of the router) so u give 192.168.1.25

The subnet mask would come by default as 255.255.255.0(if not type it)

In the default gateway type 192.168.1.1(the ip of the router)

In the dns servers ip addresses type 202.145.184.13(primary)in the first blank spaces and type 202.56.230.5(secondary) in the

second blank spaces.{the above dns values are only applicable in CHENNAI [tamil nadu]

give ok

now once again right click "my network places" on ur desktop. select properties , again right click the LOCAL AREA CONNECTION

and select disable, again right click LOCAL AREA CONNECTION and select enable.

to check if u have configured ur ethernet card properly, Type "ping 192.168.1.1 -t" in the RUN dialog box. If everthing is

fine u must getting the messages that are shown below

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

to stop it from continuing press control+c.

If u get the below messages

request timed out
request timed out
request timed out
request timed out

then the ip address of ur gateway(router) is in the 192.168.1.x(but the last octet is not 1)

for this u have to reset ur router by pressing the reset button at the back side of the router using a pen tip or any pin.(by

the way the router must be turned on)

If u get the below messages


Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.
Destination host unreachable.


then the network cable(cat 5 utp patch cable) must be unplugged or ur router is in off state or the ip address of the router

is in a different network like say 192.168.0.x, 192.168.2.x this can be once again be sorted by reseting the router.


If u receive

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

then u have no problems regarding the ethernet card's configuration

Now the hard part configuring the router.


open Internet explorer or what ever browser software u have and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and click go(this will

open the web based configuration utility of the router)
don't forget to give the username as "admin" and password as "admin"


there will be wan, lan , etc

If the router has a quick configuration,then use it. Its for easy configuration

like there will be vpi, vci, encapsulation mode, ppp(ur airtel account's user name and password), dns server's ip address .

click submit and save ur changes and restart ur router.
now ur are good to browse
