i think all you need to do from here is just select that obtain manually to obtain automatically ( ip address ) . and then create a new dialer..

thats only if you want to stick to bridged mode

dhraru · 07-09-09, 12:04 AM

HI BOTH.. i think i will go mad surely..

heres what i did..

1) with modem conected to desktop-router still not connected anywhere- i went to 192.68.1.1 and tried to changed WAN setting to PPP Mode from RFC2684BRIDGED MODE(WAN TYPE) ..did not change anything in connection type i.e Pure Bridged as it is

2) when i saved and rebooted and went to summary page..the inder heading status ..PPOE shows red light...

am i missing sumthing in first step itself..

pls note that bsnl people have created a dialer i suppose on which i have to click to start browsing

I tried connecting modem to router and typing 192.168.1.1 but router page would not open...that is baffling since when modem connected to desktop i canopen modem config page..but when modem to router connected i cannot open ..even tried plugging ethernet cable in laptop instaed of desktop ..no success

forgot to mention when i route modem to router and switch o router i get ip conflict error...when i do ipconfig ..i find 192.168.1.4/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1

bsnl engineer had come home to attend the call as net was not working few days back and seems to have chamged address to 192.168.1.4..

essbebe · 07-09-09, 12:18 AM

Firstly:
Open Your Browser and type in address bar
http://192.168.1.1/hwhtml/pMain.html

ID : admin
password : admin
If not accessed RESET the modem and try again.

Follow this link and confirm you get
connected to Internet and can surf
with AX Mt880.

New Page 1

If not connected open summary page and click the "NOTE ICON"
Presume you know how to select" Bridged" if you
want to use the BSNL dialer.

Wait for a minute.
Feedback.

Regarding Wifi follow earlier link. ( @socrates)
Try the LAN port connection first.
Then WIFI UNSECURED. confirm WIFI mode works.
Ten set security key.

thanks essbebe. But there are a few Linksys N routers available like Linksys WRT310N.
1) does the same procedure applies for this also
2) Is it worth enough paying more price so that i am assured of excellent wireless signal strength ?
Kindly post in your thoughts of the best wireless routers available in the market currently.
Thanks again for your reply.

What is the set up you have in mind ?
Different floors in a flat for wifi access ?
usually working signal in a radius of 50 feet ( *conditions apply )is possible

The power radiated by the unit > see the data sheets.
More power more Range. N type ave dual antennae and may be
effective for larger range.
