Thread: Suggest me a Modem Please

Hi...
I got my BSNL Broadband Home 750 UL+ before three months. I am a regular user since then. I didn't purchase modem from BSNL, I got it from my friend. The Modem is Beetel 220 BX. I configured it properly by reading the threads related to this modem( wanna thank all the guys for it).
I am not happy with the modem, it gets freeze every now and then. When I check the modem's WAN setting it shows authentication failure. The speeds not good too.........
I am planning to get a new modem from BSNL.... Could you guys suggest me a modem to buy...

Happy New Year

When you approach to BSNL for a modem, you do not have a choice of Make/Model. All you can tell them is the type (I/II/III/IV).

1. If your computer has a LAN card or Wi-fi, go for a type IV modem that has 4 Lan ports and Wi-fi. It will cost you Rs. 1600/-.
2. If your computer does not have LAN or Wi-Fi but USB only, go for Type I.

1.Give many thanks to @superprash2003
2... You are likely to save Rs 1500/= to Rs 2000/=
3......Your SNR is bad and ATTN high.
4....... Check line/contacts for corrosion/blackening/
.............oxidisation etc.
5.............Ensure all phones connected AFTER the splitter.
6............... see picture.

7...................Post Device Status for possible FW UPG.
8.....................Beetel 220BX board is common to many BSNL modems too

I am getting Speeds of range 26-28 kBps. It keeps working fine until it is switched off. Once the modem is Switched on (restarted manually) it takes a lot of time for it to get connected to the net. There are times I switch off and switch on the modem atleast 4 to 5 times to get connected. I get the status as authentication failure.

I knew my SNR is bad and registered a complaint last week. still waiting for a response from them. You think they can fix it?

I didn't get the 7th Point "Post Device Status for possible FW UPG", can u plz xplain me that
