Thread: Help configuring Wi-fi in Nokia Siemens router

I was using this[ Nokia Siemens ] for BSNL and Wifi was working good..

But now i'm not able to configure it for Airtel



I checked the VPI and VCI values in the router that Airtel gave me and I used the same values in the Siemens one but it doesnt work

Is there anything that i'm missing here? Do i need to change any other settigns ?


The VPI/VCI values were 1/32 if that matters

Edit : Now i'm not sure if this router even wokrs with Airtel.. It must right? Anyone using it ??

Only changes are

1. VPI/ VCI = 0-32

2. Change ID and password

If nothing works, reset the modem and reconfigure it.

Thanks.. It was a stupid mistake on my part.. I forgot to insert the line

Its working now

Btw, do i need to necessarily use PPPOE for Wi-fi?

Welcome.

PPPoE mode allows you to share connection between more than one system. It is more secure and gives auto dialling feature which Bridge mode lacks.

Hi,

Like Goodburner, I am also using BSNL's router (Nokia Siemns SL2_141) for my Airtel Connection. My problem is when I connect via LAN my wirless also gets connected however when I remove LAN cable the wireless also goes down.

I don't know anything about routers and modems, therefore I need to know step by step procedure to correct it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

when I remove LAN cable the wireless also goes down.

confirm :
mode/wifi router===>>>RJ45===>> to desktop Ethernet port working
Laptop : No wire connection on wifi ~~~~~ working

@essbebe - Thanks for information however can you explain bit further. I don't know anything about routers. A step by step procedure would be very helpful.

Thanks once again.
