Thread: How to get BSNL Broadband through wifi on Apple laptop?

Just got BSNL broadband connection with the modem UTStarcom WA3002-g1 - Type II wi-fi, it is installed on my desktop PC, I am getting proper connection on it through LAN but when I tried internet connection on Apple laptop through wifi, am not able to connect but it shows the modem(router). “Obtain an IP address automatically” is the setting on my PC.
I done the ping test on Apple laptop, I got this message:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=1.069 ms
---192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.069/1.520/2.194/0.395 ms

Since the last three days I am searching the solution here but I haven’t got proper settings, can anybody help me on this, please?

Is there an equivalent program to set up a wireless network connection in
APPLE ( MAC OS ) as in Windows Xp OS?

Can you check in status of your Wireless Network in your laptop /?
( showing secured and unsecured sites ?)

Check settings in modem/router here.

In Apple it is very simple to activate wifi, you just have to on wifi access, I received net connections on mumbai and delhi airports without any setup.

In just two steps I got internet connection through LAN on Apple without any hasle, just like plug and play. I am not getting access through wifi.

Check/Change Channel Number selected in local modem/router .

It will be usually Channel 6 or 11.

If you connected your Laptop on WIFI mode at Airport/s.

What you see in Wireless network page in your laptop ?
error report, if any ?

Please post Ipconfig/all details.
( self familiar with Windows XP Sp2 OS ONLY )

I tried channel 11... not working.. channel 6 was already set..

I tried ISP PPPoe .... and bridge interface acivated... then i got the wifi connection on my Apple laptop... but the problem is, it doesn't required dialer.. if I want to use dialer then I am not getting connection...

Modem confg.. DHCP: Enabled,
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Starting IP Address:192.168.1.33

And PC IP is: “Obtain an IP address automatically”

If i set authetication type WPA-PSK, then will i get wifi connection on laptop?

thank you very much guys, u r very helpfull, without your help i think i could't do this... :winkiss: finally i got the connection on my Apple laptop with the WAP-PSK security.

thanks once again...

I can only refer to web site giving details for
the modem/wifi router UTstat WA3002-g4.
All titles are misleading. Open and see please.

Configure the router to function in pppoe mode. Also make sure the wireless light is it up in the router. Now the macbook should automatically discover the wireless router.

ok what i did with my sister's mac is i just made an "airport" type connection, gave the id & pass, & thus it gets connected, simple!!, i dint changed anything with my modem

p.s. i m using quidway wa 1003a modem

Its strange. U are getting connected with the network established by your router, yet u are unable to browse. Is safari configured to use some proxy? Kindly verify.

hi guys atlast i made it now i am able to access wifi on my macbook.i have just configured my router to "always on"..Thank you guys for your help

there is a bug in mac.........just do the ip settings manually by DHCP and restart your machine........it worked for me........

Hi Amit,

I am facing a similar issue, with the mac showing that its connected to the network, but not to the internet. Could you elaborate on what steps I should take to solve this? Not very clear on how to do the things mentioned above

that was a file(IOPCIFAMILY.kext) which depands on your wifi drivers...........my drivers got problem than i replaced them with some others........

Hi Amit,

Not sure I understand. Do you think you could help me with a step by step?

i have not used the wifi thing so cant say........you can try google or APPLE forums.....they'll surely help u
