Hi,

I've been using bsnl broadband with the modem - router on my laptop provided by them the huawei 1003a, but every ten minutes or so it keeps getting disconnected, and i have to click on repair, its quite irritating, and the icon in my system tray always says disconnected though i am able to browse. Does anybody have a similar problem?

Thanks,
Veera

Hi All,

I have successfully setup Wifi for two laptops using calcuttatelephones.com/dataoneinstall/mu04.html instructions.

However, I am noticing a strange problem. I can open all the websites except dataone.in and sancharnet.in. I have tried turning my firewall off, but it does not help.

Does anyone else have noticed similar problem???

This is not working for me. I have a SmartAX MT882 HUAWEI modem and a NetGear WGR614 v5 wireless router.

When I follow the steps mentioned above, I get a "device is taking too long to respond error" which I click apply after the following (Last) step:
================================================== ====
Does your Internet connection require a login? – No
Account Name – blank
Domain Name – blank
Internet IP Address
Use Static IP Address
IP Address – 192.168.1.91
IP Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address – 192.168.1.90
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
Use These DNS Servers
Primary DNS – 61.1.96.69
Secondary DNS – 61.1.96.71
Router MAC Address
Use Default Address
·Click on Apply and wait till the router restarts
================================================== ====

After this when I try to detect the Wireless Network from my laptop, I am able to see the network and connect to it, but I am unable to browse.

I noticed that the default gate way in the laptop is 192.168.1.1, even though the IP Address of the Wireless router is 192.168.1.91. I even checked accessing the wireless router from my desktop with the follow URL's after the error:

http://192.168.1.1/basicsetting.htm
http://192.168.1.91/basicsetting.htm

Both of these give me a page cannot be displayed error.

Also, I am also unable to connect from my desktop machine once I have made these changes. What am I missing here?

Hi Admin,

I saw your step by step guide to the HUAWAI modem and a wireless router. It was great. I tried configuring my UT300R2U modem and the linksys WRT54G wireless router on those lines and failed. Over the past week I have tried all the tricks up my sleeve and used a fair part of my logical thinking (I'm not a sys admin).

Both these units have DHCP, Firewall, and a whole lot of other options that I can't figure out what to disable/enable in which unit.

Kindly help.

Thanks,

Can any one help me in setting up 2nd laptop to my existing wireless setup at home...... using the Huawei BSNL modem. My first laptop (IBM T-42) works perfect.. However, when I try connecting the second latop (HP) the existing setup... with a different IP address (in my laptop)... I am able to connect only for a brief point in time.. It gets disconnected every 10 mins. and I have to re-connect it again....

Thnx!
Rish

if ur using a second router for wlan then no need for reconfiguring any settings in the bsnl router...
1.connect the bsnl router to a computer,open 192.168.1.1 and in lan settings turn off dhcp server
2.disconnect the computer from the bsnl router and connect the bsnl router to the second router's wan port
3.connect all computers to the second router
4.go to the second router's config page and in wan settings set the connection type as PPPOE and enter user name and password
5. ur connected
u dont hav to dial the connection everytime as the second router dials the connection at boot up

So, Here is my Step-By-Step guide to configuring a Wi-Fi network with BSNL DataOne. Though many wireless routers claim that it is a no-brainer setup to configure the wireless network, I found it to be not as easy as it looks to be. For example, NetGear comes with a wizard that never works with BSNL broadband connected via HUAWEI SmartAX 880. For those of you desperate to take your BSNL DataOne broadband wireless, follow these steps. It took me more than 2 days to figure and come out with these configuration details.

Before I start, let me share what I have with this bsnl broadband connection:

1)BSNL DataOne 256Kbps connection.
2)HUAWEI SmartAX MT880 (The modem supplied by BSNL).
3) (configuring netgear dg632 for BSNL)NetGear WGR614v5

There are 2 steps to configuring your wireless network. First, you have to change the default settings of the SmartAX MT880 modem and configure it to enable PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet). Second, you have to configure the NetGear Router to talk to the modem.

Keep your modem, wireless router and your username and password from BSNL handy before you proceed to the next step.

If you want to change your existing configuration, take a backup of your configuration. This guide is to build your network from the ground-up.

1)Configuring and testing your Broadband connection
·Setup the modem as per the instructions mentioned in the manual. Ensure that the RJ11 (thin) cable from the splitter is connected to the ADSL port and the RJ45 cable connects your machine to the Ethernet port of the modem.

·Change the IP properties of your Ethernet card to the following:
192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

·Open the browser and type http://192.168.1.1 to go to the HUAWEI configuration tool.

·Enter ‘admin’ as username and ‘admin’ as password

·Expand the Home node and select the WAN Setting

·Under this web page, configure the following:
PVC Number – PVC 0
Wan Type – PPP
Connection Type – PPPoE
VPI/VCI – 0 / 35
Default Route - Enabled
User Name – <Your ISP UserName>
Password – <Your ISP Password>
Use DNS – Enabled
Max Idle Time – Always On

&#183;Click on Apply and allow the modem to restart.

&#183;Close the browser window

&#183;Open the browser and type http://192.168.1.1

&#183;Enter ‘admin’ as username and ‘admin’ as password

&#183;You should see the Summary page. The Status is normally Red indicating that the connection is not ON.

&#183;Click on the Plug icon in the Note column to connect.

&#183;After the Connecting message, you should see the summary page again with the Status turning Green. Notice the IP Address and the Gateway Address.

&#183;Expand Tools node and click on Misc.

&#183;Type www.msn.com and click on Ping

&#183;You should see Ping Result: Successful

&#183;Click on the Lan Settings link under the Advanced node.

&#183;Configure the following:
IP Address – 192.168.1.90
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0(/24)
Local Domain Name – Blank

&#183;Click on Apply and allow the modem to restart

&#183;Open the Network properties of your Ethernet card and change the IP properties to the following


IP Address – 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway – 192.168.1.90
Preferred DNS server – 61.1.96.69 (BSNL DNS Server IP)
Alternate DNS server – 61.1.96.71 (BSNL DNS Server IP)

&#183;Open your browser and type your favorite URL. You should be online by this time!


2)Configuring the Wireless Router and enabling the WPA security
&#183;Connect the network cable from the NetGear wireless router to the machine.

&#183;Open the IP Properties of your Network card and Enable DHCP. Select the following on the IP properites dialog.
Obtain IP Address Automatically
Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically

&#183;Open the browser and type http://192.168.1.1/basicsetting.htm

&#183;Enter ‘admin’ as username and ‘password’ as the password

&#183;Click on Wireless Settings link on the navigation pane and configure with the following values

Wireless Network
Name (SSID) - <YourSSID>
Region – Asia
Channel – 11
Mode – g and b
Security Options
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
Security Encryption (WEP)
Authentication Type – Automatic
Encryption Strength – 64bit
Security Encryption (WEP) Key
Passphrase - <YourPassphrase>
&#183;Click on Generate

&#183;Record the value of Key1 – This is required when you log on to your Wi-Fi network the first time.

&#183;Click on Apply and wait till the router reboots
(Wireless will not be enabled till you complete the next step)

&#183;Click on the Basic Settings link on the left side navigation pane and configure the following

Does your Internet connection require a login? – No
Account Name – blank
Domain Name – blank
Internet IP Address
Use Static IP Address
IP Address – 192.168.1.91
IP Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address – 192.168.1.90
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
Use These DNS Servers
Primary DNS – 61.1.96.69
Secondary DNS – 61.1.96.71
Router MAC Address
Use Default Address
&#183;Click on Apply and wait till the router restarts

&#183;Connect the Network Cable coming from the ADSL Modem to the Wireless Router


Few things to remember –
&#183;Don’t connect the ADSL Lan Cable to the Internet Uplink port of the Wireless Router. It never worked for me. Always connect it to one of the 4 ports excluding the designated Internet port.

&#183;IP Addresses can be anything of your choice. But it is a good idea to follow the 192.168.x.x convention

&#183;If you get lost any time, feel free to reset the configuration by poking a pin into the reset slot on the modem and the router.

&#183;Don’t compromise on the security. Always enable WPA and save your key. Don’t let your friendly neighbors ride on your network!

Have a happy Wi-Fi surfing and drop a comment in case you want more inputs.

Hi,

Does the procedure to configure huawei model for bsnl wireless, work for UT300R2U too.

Recently I got a bsnl broadband with UT300R2U (Type 2) modem. This works fine via LAN. But the wireless is not working. My laptop runs XP. The wireless network is visible in "My Network Places". But when I try to login, it just says unable to connect.

Can anyone help?

BR,

Does the above method work with the Huawei MT800 ADSL modem with Asus WL520G wireless router combination? I am trying to set up a wireless network at home so I can use my laptop. Neither the BSNL people nor the Asus people are helpful.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks

P/wd resetting seems to be a main problem in BSNLBB. I too can't do it either! The ones BSNL guy mentioned does not work. Nice to read that resetting modem could gain access to 192.168.1.1 website to reset the 'admin' username and 'admin' password. How do I reconfigure my BSNLBB Siemens C2110 modem after reseting? The BSNL guy had mentioned a port number. Is that something to do with the modem? Could you please advise?
