BSNL`s Huawei MT880 works perfectly with Netgear WGR614. Plz go thru the following procedures. 1) Assuming u have not oppened ur netgear wifi router and ur net connection was working perfectly, proceed to the admin area of bsnl`s modem ( Huawei MT880 ). 2) Click on : Home--->DHCP--->Enabled ( Just change the starting IP address to something like 192.168.1.10 ) 3) Press apply and restart ur modem! 4) Go to internet connections select ur LAN connection and go for properties. Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)--->properties--->make sure u turn everything to automatic.. don`t bother going to advanced menu. U may ahve to restart ur pc .. but it still got to work.. ur LAN will now try to get the IP address required to properly communicate with modem automatically... ur internet won`t work rite now cause u have not properly defined DNS address in the modem.. plz follow the following procedures. 5) Come back again to the admin area of the modem. 3) Click on : Home--->WAN Setting--->Connection Type--->PPPoE Enabled (don`t change the rest of the configuration) 4) Click on : Home--->DNS--->DNS Status--->Enabled Enter the following DNS address: Primary DNS Address 208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS Address 208.67.220.220 The above DNS addresses have nothing to do with ur connection settings.. just makes browsing a lot faster. Thats it with ur Modem settings ... Please check you can browse the net.. before configuring ur Netgear router. Please connect the ADSL LAN cable ( that comes from modem ) to the Internet Port only Switch off everything... except ur pc Netgear Router settings... 1) Login to routers admin area. There will be a wizard procedure. please do everything manually. Don`t go with the wizard option.... 2) go to Basic settings--->Select NO for login question. Basic settings--->Internet IP Address---> Get Dynamically From ISP Basic settings--->Domain Name Server (DNS) Address--->Use These DNS Servers Enter the following DNS address: Primary DNS Address 208.67.222.222 Secondary DNS Address 208.67.220.220 Basic settings--->Router MAC Address---> Use Default Address Thtz it for the basic settings ... check if you can browse the net... and go back to the admin area of the router and properly configure security settings... Plz make sure u select "G mode only" for best trasmission rates and gr88 coverage.... I had lot of problems initially... i used dlink`s wifi router with my bsnl modem and it worked gr88 without much configuration... But with netgear the problem is with the default IP address it comez with... itz the same as the modem IP address.. instead of just changing bsnl or netgear IP`s we can get better result if we could turn on DHCP... cause itz DHCP`s work to properly configure LAN ! And last.... This perhaps is the best way to wirelessly access the internet with BSNL`s ADSL lines. And Netgear is the best recommended wifi router as for as price to performance ration is concerned... well it beatz every router in itz class.. | |

Rep Power: 2 | ur pc and laptop must have been connected thru ur router... make sure u turn the DHCP server ON on all the devices... which includes ur router as well. make sure u can simultaneously browse the net on ur machinez...then run thru the file and printer sharing wizard on ur machines... I feel the problem is based on connectivity issues....IP address assignment and that kind of stuff... all the best ! |

Rep Power: 5 | even if nothing is shared.. in windows -printers and user's shared documents are shared on the network by default.. and you should be able to access the shared computer by typing \\(ip of computer or computername) |
