Rep Power: 5 | 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 |

Rep Power: 13 | 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. |

Rep Power: 1 | 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. |
