I dint get what is the difference b/w Type IV (4 LAN + wifi) modem and Type I modem and a Wireless router from market

Can anyone explain this

I may buy laptop in few months and thinking of buying a mobile with wifi so kindly suggest me

Thanks

Let me clear your confusion mate, here goes

Type IV= Modem + Inbuilt wifi

Type I= Only modem with one Ethernet port

Wireless router= WiFi router to route your internet connection through LAN and through wireless

However you have to connect the Type I modem to the wireless router through a crossover cable (similar to LAN cable but with different config.)

Hope i am clear enough!

My suggestion
Buy Type IV modem blindly thats it, you will appreciate it trust me!

if you need a simple modem means single port and without wireless.
then get from bsnl

else,
get from market only

if u are planing t stick with bsnl plane itself
then go for bsnl modem type2 it offers lan aswell as wireless
ad compering to others b is also cheap
so go for bsnl only

simsandy43 · 01-26-09, 01:09 AM

just buy it from the bsnl department itself because it cost u less and also their routers are good as well and purchase it that is the better deal from my side

I would also suggest sticking with BSNL modems. UTStar models and Nokia Siemens models are exceptionally better.

I also recommend u buy modem from the bsnl and should be tpye-ii modem with wifi .
and one more thing if ur modem /router become faulty then bsnl will change it
and i dont get about it compatibility with vista or windows7.
according to me
it is just a hardware only for usb support we have to install driver(which may be compatible with vista or windows7 ) but for lan nothing just insert lan cable it start work.

^^ BSNL will change the modem only if it is on rent and/or the modem is less than one year old (from the date of selling). USB drivers for Windows Vista were not available, hence such modems cannot be coupled with such OSes.

totallyfandu · 01-26-09, 09:27 AM

compatability issue comes when u r using usb and in usb speed is less than lan connection.

yes here also they change it with in one year from purchase here i am having ZTE modem which is simple to use
