well guys i found the guide to add wireless connectivity to UT300... in bridge mode.
But here is my situation:
I got two floors in my building. I have two PC's each on both the floors. The PC's are connected to 2 of 4 LAN Ports of Huawei MT841 (Type 3) router/modem. Now the Router is placed in the ground floor, and one wire from it connects to the pc via lan which is placed on the ground floor. from the another lan port of the router, i pulled a lan wire and connected it to the pc which placed on 2nd floor. Now the router is on PPPoE mode, and both the PC's can share files etc etc, and the net connection is also shared and always on.
I want to buy a Laptop now, and want to add Wireless net connectivity to it.
and I want Wireless Router to be placed on the second floor. Now what do I do? Buy a Wireless Router or an Wireless Access Point? I heard that WAP is what I need, but I can use Wireless Router too, and I prefer it too, cause if I buy WAP, I will need to pull one more wire to connect to it and to the pc and that will be a problem.
So can anyone tell me how do i configure W Router, so that it works with the existing setup

Thanks for being patient and reading this

you could use a wireless router as a wireless access point..your first line says you already found a guide , go ahead with that..

Nikunj93

it says i found a guide to configure Wireless Router to UT Starcom modem in BRIDGE mode.
I need the guide to PPPoE

sure2k

Any ADSL Modem supplied by BSNL can be setup in PPPOE or Bridge mode.

See calcuttatelephones.com

you all are not getting my prob. I have to keep my router in PPPoE mode, and add a Wireless Router to it.

PROBLEM

STEP 1
Confusion here.
1."Bridged" mode means you use a dialer
where you have to
enter your UserID and password to connect to Internet.

2.PPPoE mode means same thing to many.

3 "Always On "If Your system starts connecting to Internet without step (1), it means In WAN page of modem ppp/PPPoE is selected
and "Bridged" mode unselected.

Para two;
(a)Confirm which method you need.
(b)confirm you get connected to Internet now
using ONLY MT841.
(c) both computers working and get connected to Internet
&file sharing etc, no problem.

(d)
Purchased Laptop ?

(e) need suggestion for purchase of WIFI router to be used with MT841
cannot get/use a wireless card in this unit.
( example Netgear WGR614V6)
or

(f) a 3-in one adsl2modem+router+WIfi router
without using MT841. ( example BSNL Siemen's Sl2_141)

(a)Confirm which method you need. I NEED PPPoE Mode
(b)confirm you get connected to Internet now
using ONLY MT841. YES I GET CONNECTED TO INTERNET NOW USING ONLY MT841
(c) both computers working and get connected to Internet
&file sharing etc, no problem. YES, EVERYTHING FINE, FILE SHARING, CONNECTION ON BOTH

(d)

Purchased Laptop ? NOT YET, BUT CHOOSED HP 1242, WILL BUY AFTER A WEEK

(e) need suggestion for purchase of WIFI router to be used with MT841
cannot get/use a wireless card in this unit.
( example Netgear WGR614V6) WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL IF YOU COULD SUGGEST A WIRELESS ROUTER, AND YES I CANNOT USE A WIRELESS CARD IN THIS UNIT
or

(f) a 3-in one adsl2modem+router+WIfi router
without using MT841. ( example BSNL Siemen's Sl2_141)
NO, I NEED A SEPARATE UNIT, BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP THE UNIT IN 2nd FLOOR, AND MT841 IS ON GROUND FLOOR(WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED)

Congratulations.

Do you have a BSNL Phone extension PORT in II floor ?

If not , connect the same rj45 from Ground floor to NetGear WGR614V6 (or later version ) WAN port.

Connect to LAN1 port of NetGear. present Computer2.(desktop 2nd floor )

( expected range 30 to 50 feet Radius conditions apply ! Higher the height of the
antenna better range( LINE OF SIGHT : no obstructions )

I use the NetGear unit mentioned above.

For more range Dual antenna, models.
( or unit with facility ,to detach the small antenna
and use an external antenna at a greater height )
Highly recommended: Buffalo models.

Nikunj93

30-50 feet just? I heard 100 metres... anyways, I dont have a telphone port on second floor i just have rj45
so are u sure i need an W Gateway? I thought i needed a Wireless Router, because MT841 already has a modem, so why do i get another?
And if i get Wireless Router, i heard i have to connect it to LAN port, and not WAN port

superprash2003

yes.. if you are going to set your modem in pppoe mode then you need to connect to LAN port.. here's a small guide.. you can apply the same thing to your setup Prashanth Speaks-Technology and Life: How To Connect DSL ISP modem with Wireless Router - Connect UT300R2U with Linksys WRT54G

Nikunj93

I would like to know, that is this possible that i have net working wireless from wireless router + Wired from MT841 + Wired from Wireless Router's Lan ports?
or it will only work Wireless + Wired from Wireless Routers port and not net from Wired MT841 Lan ports?

essbebe

that is this possible

CONDITION.
Modem MT841 ( wireless not available ) + new WIFI router.

YES
computer desktop, or laptop having a wireless LAN card.
YES ,provided desktop/laptop have ethernet cards,
[quote]

see above.


Para TWO:
You have TWO computers now and
INTEND to buy a laptop .
For two computers in Wired mode and
One laptop in WIFI mode too many doubts !

Nikunj93

lol yeah too many doubts,
what would be more feasable? pulling an RJ11 wire from the ground floor, and just using one Wireless Adsl router, and connecting two pc's via lan through and and the lappy using Wireless, or not pulling another wire, and creating a two router network?

essbebe

Will consider deeply the problem and reply tomorrow.
Going for a meeting.
