Thread: bsnl modem type ( which one is good?)

i want to take the bsnl connection.. but i am confused about the modem type.. what difference purpose they served and which will be good? type 1/ 2/ 3/4 ? i want to download a number of movies which plan will be right? budget 500pm and i will be satisfied if i can download a movie in a night

For heavy downloading, choose from Home 500, 500 C and 500 C+

Type 1 - 4 used to be a earlier mode of classification. Now there are only 2 of them. One without wireless connection, cost Rs.1000 + tax. Instrument with wireless (wifi) facility, Rs. 1600 + tax.

I use Type 1 modem without wireless/wifi. My modem is Nokia Siemens C 2110.

Please avoid bold letters. I have seen mods classifying them as shouting.

if you have a laptop or a mobile device at home you could go for a wifi router , will be handy in the future as well

yah i have mobile with net facility.. but will it work with broadband? what is wifi router.. wireless connection?

Certain types of mobile handsets can use wireless internet through a wifi (wireless) router. It purely depends on your model whether it can access net through a wifi router. Please search this forum and you will find similar queries by Nokia handset users. Most of them were able to connect using BSNL wifi router.

A wifi router is a device which allows you to connect your devices commonly laptops, PDAs and advanced gadgets (including mobile phone) which support wifi internet connectivity. Such an instrument cost Rs. 1600 + tax with BSNL.

I got a ITI DNA-A211-I (4 Eth + 1 Wi-Fi) Router Manufactured by FLEXTRONICS on box MRP 1391/- inclusive of taxes.

Then how come BSNL is charging more than MRP.

My source is mentioned above. I had to depend that table from BSNL as the price varies from time to time. I hope your's from a third party vendor.

Unable to find any varaition in the BSNL site. Please check here under modem charges.

I am not surprised. It is BSNL.

So you bought it through BSNL or from open market for RS. 1300.

I have been using type IV modem for last 3 years. Recently I shifted to Airtel and set aside Airtel Beetel modem and configured myself UtStarcom type IV modem (4 ethernet + Wifi) for Airtel. I purchased this modem from BSNL.

I am quite happy with performance of this modem. Its range also very good. I can surf internet quite far. Basic things you need to care of enable WEP encryption with strong password.

What not to buy:

I used a Siemens C2110 type I modem which came with my BB connection from February 2008, but it stopped working last month, and when I contacted the telephone company, they said it was out of their hands!. So I can't recommend this particular model. Please ask beforehand for their terms of warranty before you go for any make from BSNL.

@wheelie

Can you access the modem settings page /
Does the power led show /
