| Junior Member | Dear sirs, I am using BSNL Home UL750 plan. The Access is through an BSNL UTstarCom Type 4 (WA3002G4) modem for Wifi. My question is.... How to configure another Similar (WA3002G4) Wifi Modem to act as Range extender? Please note that bringing in a LAN cable to extender is not feasable for me. I simply want to put the a second Wifi Modem that will accept signals from my ADSL WiFi router and repeat the signal. Kindly show me the way.. |

| Junior Member | Thanks for the reply, But i did'nt quite get it (or maybe you did'nt get my question) I alredy have WIFI network at my home for internet using BSNL type 4 Modem Now i wanna add another similar modem to extend the Wireless range. Kindly elaborate your explanation on this. Seperate range boosters are available in market,but too expensive, BSNL modem costs just 1800 |

Rep Power: 12 | Since you want to use two WIFI modem/routers, easiest method is to <A>extend the telephone line ( if legally possible)to the other location ( within your house/flat/apartment etc ). Quote:
=================================== Can you invest in Antenna Booster systems ? http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=YOBfxbpxosA The antenna is extended to a higher height.( or use dish like antenna ) From : http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...nge-cheap.html (Boost your wi-fi range. Cheap!) http://lifehacker.com/software/how-t...der-296367.php ================================== Only problem both modems/routers cannot be used at the same time . ( I use this method <A> ( for LAN use) for a distance of about 50 to 60 feet) Imagine each WIFI router as a tower ( as for cellphone) and each system can access only one tower and they are independent.

| Junior Member | Hello all, Thanks for the replies, those links were useful. Its sad to see a regular router cannot be used as a repeater. My Router has a wireless "Bridge Mode" and "access point mode" can any of you experts help me understand it? Is that what we need? Thanks for your time. |

There are no settings to enter Primary Modem's SSID and use it to Re-broadcast over WIFI. However This configuration works- Modem+wifi........(LAN CABLE).......Modem+Wifi There are some Pre-configured Router+extender Kits, but prices are Sky high | |

Hello prime.. If you can run a cable, its very easy. Type 4 modems have 4 LAN ports behind. Just connect the regular LAN cable to one of these ports on the modem. Then, Disable DHCP on SECONDARY router. Look up the manual. Type in Browser 168.192.1.1.. which should take you to router config page, You can disable DHCP here. Good luck. | |

Rep Power: 12 | @optimus Mention model/make of wif router. if Wa3002_g4 it is "3 in 1" model and does not have a WAN/internet input port. Try Lan1 to Lan1 of second similar unit. ( confirm wifi mode works in second unit ) ref: http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...reference.html (UTSTAR WA3002-G4 quick reference) |
