Thread: Help with Broadband connecting

Well , for a few days the modem is taking some time connecting as it is showing error after verifying username and password ..And now the adsl line cant stop blinking ..Is there a problem with the router or any other problem.Thnx in advance....

Mention modem/router model you use.
Confirm , earlier the connection was working normally.
Check you cables for the system.
Can you access modem DIAGNOSTICS PAGE ?

I use ZTE 831A11 modem , and it was working fine till a few days back..
cables are ok.

And how do u access the diagnostic page ???

some prob with the line itself..

yes i agree with lovely that it seems to be a problem with line as ADSL lite on modem is flashing so it means your line is loosing sync and the better idea is to check physical connection of broadband setup and try replacing your splitter too, if nothing helps then call ISP for line diagnostics

1.foribb: CONFIGURING ZTE ZXDSL 831AII IN PPPOE MODE
2.Check settings.
3.Start/ RUN type cmd type ipconfig/all give results here.
4. Start RUN type cmd type ping 192.168.1.1 result here.

Here is my ipconfig , but how is going to help ???

....

And which is my splitter and where can i get my line checked from..

Check SNR/ATTN/Line speed Mod ( adsl2+) both D/L and U/L
Check speed at speedtest.net say Sydney server.

.Here is my ipconfig , but how is going to help ???

Hope these will help. Try and restore original settings if no improvement/s.
1.IN TCP/IP properties Advanced WINS select Netbios over TCP/IP default.
2. DNS settings Change both to open DNS 208.67.220. 220 and 208.67.222.222.
If you want the old DNS add them in the next page ( Advanced )
3. Appears you are using VISTA. and using Dialer.
recommended disable IPV6 in TCP/IP properties page. ( I don't have Vista)

Para two; In Modem/router see what is the mod selected. preferable GDMT. for a stable connection.
Para three : ADSL splitter mainly must for Telephone. Even if you connect
Modem router Directly to Telephone Junction no harm normally.
http://i34.tinypic.com/s4c0me.jpg ( usual standard type)

Check SNR/ATTN Line speed Mod ( GDMT)
check speed at speedtest.net say Sydney.
( about ping time later )
FEEDback.

Thnx for the help bro

I check my pinng on speed test .. output
hxxp://www_speedtest_net/result/340047042.png

And how do i check the SNR/ATTn ???

and for the modem config
Capability BIS+/BIS/GDMT/T1413

Is this wat u were looking for ???

1.Ping should reduce.
Try Application Connection Booster from trafficzapper.com.
use defaults till you get familiar with different values. restart. system.
Or TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net.
2. Modem config access : correct page.
3. SNR/ATTN should be available in Device Status or ADSl status page.
Will update later if you cannot get it. SEE under Statistics ADSL
4. Each and every setting change may or may not improve speed/ stability.
We retain the best settings.
5. ( Changing OS Registry values etc :beyond most of us( laymen)
and not usually suggested)
6.Suggestions posted here are not specifically meant for one user,
and may help others perusing this thread later.
Please free to ignore/try any or all . ONLY request give feedback.

1 - u have a BSNL line... lodge a complaint and read few threads by J4X on Bsnl experiences (may help you to get faster services)
2 - if you can... check the line physically upto the junction box.
3 - Try reseting the modem.

These are solutions to the three possibilities which may disturb the simplest working of a modem - PC connection.

1. If he complains to BSNL , he can wait.
Why read all the threads here ?!!! How it will help him in geting faster service
Talk all technical terms to BSNL ?
2. See Below.
3. Bad advice. in the present problem.
Para two:
Read the thread from beginning. No "antakshri"
Post No 9.

I check my pinng on speed test .. output
hxxp://www_speedtest_net/result/340047042.png

If he is not connected how he got this reading ?

what is the error

No need to try all... i said

"These are solutions to the three possibilities which may disturb the simplest working of a modem - PC connection"

I asked to go thru thread as Wait Time or TAT is not defined for BSNL in any Vedas, Gita or Manual... It has to be catalysed from our side.. That's what is shared by J4X in a thread.

As for antakshari... check post 1,3 and 4... dont ask one to go for a surgery when aspirin can do the job yaar ...

Threads are only a suggestion/record (FOC) which is useful..

Bro,
1.I have already called the bsnl 3 times and nobody has come to check it ...
2. The line looks okay as far as i can tell .. Its up to the bsnl now to check
...
3.The problem is so bad every 2 time i connect i have to reset the modem and setup the connection manually as the blinking doesn't stop for me to dial ( I use Bridging method )

And (dont laugh) does bad weather affect the service ???

dont ask one to go for a surgery when aspirin can do the job yaar ...

If resetting the modem, with a working internet connection is "Aspirin' I agree with you.!
He is connected to Internet . he has checked the speed at speedtest.net. Post No 9.
To check line conditions he was asking directions how to get the SNR/ATTN details.

Please wait for Feedback. if "aspirin" worked , I will be most happy.

Is this wat i should be posting ???

Local SNRMargin 21.0 dB
Local Line Attn 30.5 dB
Rx ATTNDR 6988000
Remote Line Attn 15.5 dB
Remote SNRMargin 23.0 dB

And the traffic zapper site is not working anny other link???

OK. presume different SNR/ATTN for D/L and U/L not available.
Still Attenuation is high. Check the contacts, and use short connections.
If Telephone line is not noisy/crackling sounds etc , nothing else can be done.

TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net
The website also anlayses your net work and gives recommendations.
Better to select default values !
Save the report for future reference.
You can also post : deleting http www from the link. as given above.
Recheck speed again at Sydney server.

Yeah speed sucks here.. Mine is home 500...Anyways to help it ...

1.Check again at speedtest.net Sydney server.

PRESENT :Operational Mode G.Dmt.BisPlus
2 CHANGE to GDMT
3 or T413
4 compare speed at same server.

Am not able to enable it ...and the router config windows is different from yours ...mine is ZTE 831 A11...Check the attachment...>.I have enabled the bitswap but am unable to enable support of line ....Shud isearch for a firmware ipgrade ???Also i use Bridging dial method ...
