Default Problem configuring wireless connection with Type II modem - BSNL broadband

I got the BSNL broadband connection a couple of days back. Modem i bought is type II (Huawei Quidway WA1003A). The problem i face is that i have to keep my PC in a room where there is no telelphone jack! I cannot keep in the hall (where there is a telephone jack) for obvious reasons. Hence, i will have to keep the Type II modem in the hall (where there is a telephone jack) and my PC in a room. Now, i need to configure my PC to access the internet. I do not want to run lengthy ethernet/USB cable from my hall to the room. Other option available is wireless. My PC does have wireless network adapter (Linksys).

Can anyone tell me how to configure the Type II modem and my PC so that i can access internet from my PC through wireless connection? Do i need to buy any extra equipment? I think the Type II modem is also a router/access point and don't think will have to buy any extra equipment.e

wireless connection to a PC is not feasible .
the simple method is to run a phone cable
from Hall to Room along the wall .
It is like this : Hall phone Jack --> splitter -->
a) short cable for phone in hall b) long cable to
modem in room ...

It is quite possible and its easy too. Just follow the steps outlined by BSNL for configuring wi-fi. The problem could be with your PC wireless configuration. Are you using WEP key for security purposes? If you use wrong WEP key, then the modem behaves exactly the same way as you are observing. Disable wireless security and check. If it works without wireless security then its definitely a problem at your PC end. If you are using Linksys, you need to enter the WEP key in the "WEP Key" field and NOT in the "Passphrase" field. "Passphrase" field is applicable ONLY to linksys products.

Question WA3002-g1 Wireless ADSL Modem - how to set up password protected wi-fi

Hi,

I have a broadband connection from BSNL and a WA3002-g1 Wireless ADSL Router from them. BSNL folks had set it up few days back including the wi fi but its a unprotected wi-fi and as a result some people have used it for heavy downloads and I will have to pay the bill ..

I want to set up the router to enable a password protected wi-fi...can someone please help me with the detailed steps to do so... it would be really helpful ... and yes, BSNL has refused to support

Login to the ADSL modem/wireless router and go to the wireless section. Set up the following values

Basic Settings
SSID: <choose any name that you like, e.g. disharoy_network>
SSID Broadcast: Enabled

Click on 'Apply' or 'Save Settings' button.

Wireless Security Settings
Wireless Security: Enabled
Security Type or Method: WPA-PSK
Algorithm: TKIP
WPA Shared Key: <enter a very long (20+ chars) alpha-numeric key with special characters>

Make a note of the WPA Shared Key. This will be required later on to connect your PC/laptop to the Wireless network

Click on 'Apply' or 'Save Settings' button.

Save & Reboot
Finally go to the section where it says 'Save Settings and Reboot'. This is important so that all settings are permanently stored in the router's flash memory.

Also read some of these articles that I published:
