Ok, so u want to use BSNL modem with your Airtel connection. Right?

Yes it can be done. Since both BSNL and Airtel are providing DSL services. And the modems are not locked to some particular network.

@bondshiva
Both modems are almost identical. ( see modem settings pages except Wireless Not available in beetel 110BX1)

Select VPI/VCI 0 and 35 for BSNL
Select VPI/VCI 1 and 32 for Airtel.

Keep existing entries for AIRTEL.
You can use a single/any modem for either ISP.

In "Bridged" mode Dialup enter ID password externally.
In "AlwaysOn"PPP/PPPoE userid and PW entered in WAN page.

1.Can you use Beetel110BX1 for Airtel and connect to

If not call customer Care Airtel. They will come and
restore the connection.

4.Lan port to computer/laptop ethernet port.
5Follow settings given in the Chennai link

7.Keep the Lan cable connected
8and program modem/router DNA.A211-1 for wireless.
( All adsl modems routers wif routers 3-in one can be used for All ISPs. )
Item 15 onwards.
9.Try unsecured first.
10.Then security key.

11. Post your ipconfig/all data
Start/ run type cmd type ipconfig /all

Do a hard reset of the router, using a small pin in the hole found behind the router. Hold the pin for atleast 10 secs before releasing it.

Note the following properties which are to be ensured for seamless connectivity :

PVC : PVC0
VPI : 1
VCI : 32
Virtual Circuit : enabled
Wan Setting : PPPoE or PPPoA
Username :
Password :
Authentication Type : Auto
Connection Type : PPPoE LLC (Not sure about this part for Airtel Broadband)

Setting all these correctly in the modem should make the connection work flawlessly. Bothe BSNL and Airtel use DSL technology, hence the modem can be interchanged. I am using a Reliance Broadband modem with my BSNL connection.

Installation Process of Beetel 220BX Combo modem.

Modem settings for NIC/LAN card:
Ip address 192.168.1.X ( X= 3 to say20)
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway Ip address 192.168.1.1
DNS server

use open DNS 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222
apply and save


Log in the router page in IE:
Select WAN
1.In WAN set up choose all the WAN interfaces by checking on remove and then click on remove.
2.Click on ADD Change the VPI to 1 and VCI to 32
(* most important setting ) then click on next
3. Select PPP over Ethernet PPPoE
4. Select llc/snap-bridging click NEXT
5. In PPP username and password


6. Enter PPPoE service as airtel
7. Use Authentication mode as AUTO
8. Leave other two boxes unchecked. click NEXT
9. Click NEXT again
10 Click on SAVE on the NEXT screen

11. Click on SAVE Reboot and WAIT for approx 2 to 3 mnts.


REF: same as Beetel 220BX

Hi everyone, I tried everything, but in vain !

Now, the issue is, when connected to the Airtel DSL cable and LAN, my BSNL model does not glow lights for INET, DSL and WLAN

When I connect back my Airtel modem (Beetel 110TC1), the connection works fine....

Can I ever use my BSNL Wifi router (DNA-A211-1) with my Airtel broadband connection ?????????

Can I ever use my BSNL Wifi router (DNA-A211-1) with my Airtel broadband connection ?????????

VPI/VCI 1 and 32 (if airtel DNS used not known )change to 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
in modem menu item DNS.

select a link with screen shots. say 7.
try LAN port ethernet port first.

Thanks for the reply Essbebe.

My biggest issue now is that I am unable to find any light (except for Power) on my BSNL modem when I plug it in with the DSL and Ethernet wires

Only when I get some connection, I can configure the WAN/LAN settings

modem (Beetel 110TC1), the connection works fine.

Any problem Airtel CC will help.
DNA A211-I adslmodem+router+wifi

There is a reset access hole in DNA A211-I
bottom ( a round hole) {or in the rear}

Press it , with power on for 20 to 30 seconds
with a ball pen refill ( preferably empty optional !!!)

Then try default 192.168.1.1 admin admin

feedback.

Thanx Essbebe,

I did the router reset as directed by you.........but.........

The Modem only shows the Power (PWR) LED lighted. The LEDs for INET or DSL or WLAN is not lighting up when I connect the Airtel DSL Line and Ethernet cable.

NB: The connection is still fine with the Airtel (Beetel) Modem.

Pleeeeeeeeeezzzz help............

Anyone pleeeezzzzzzzzzz

My BSNL modem fails to light up the DSL when connected with Airtel

Try connecting the DNA211-I modem directly to the
Phone junction.
Rj11 from Phone Junction to above router.

Lan1 to computer ethernet port.
feedback.

Thanx once again Essbebe,

I connected the RJ11 directly from the line junction box to the BSNL modem and also the Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port # 1 of the modem.

Still the same. Only the Power LED was glowing. I tried a modem reset (pressing the button using a pointed metal I have for 40 seconds) still no use.

Now I am replying to you by connecting back the Beetel modem (line directly from the line junction).

What could be wrong ?? This way, I cannot either update the software for DNA-A211-I or configure setting on 198.168.1.1
