No he didnt mean that. what you have is Modem CUM Router.

What he meant is WPA Pre-Shared Key.

- Connect multiple systems without password/key first.
- Confirm you are in PPPOE mode. If you are in bridge mode, you can connect only one system via line or wifi (bridge is when you use a dialer from your computer to connect).
- After you are successful, go for WPA security unless your laptops don't support WPA. It is easy to break WEP security.

I don't think so.

As deepmohan also mentioned, it is your router plus modem.

I did connect all systems without password first.
I am in PPPoE mode (I do not need to dial to connect)
And I did try WPA-PSK (sorry typed wrongly in my previous post) and put a key.
Then I tried to connect through my laptop and it asked for key. On typing key I got connected. Then in another laptop I tried to connect and it asked for key. On typing key it got connected too and web page opened. Then On returning to my own laptop I couldnt open web page anymore.. On trying to connect a 3rd laptop the 2nd laptop could not open web page..

Any idea whats the problem? BSNL people told they faced same problem in other modems also.

And how do I know whether my laptop supprts WPA?

Is there any guide anywhere in this forum on MAC filtering? How to get MAC adress of my laaptop?

@ambiras
In all laptops select in network settings
obtain Ip address automatically.
In router enable DHCP.
see this link to re check settings.
similar to DNA A211-I
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...reference.html (UTSTAR WA3002-G4 quick reference)

Also a software update has been recommended for DNA A211-I.

MAC address ;

you will get the MAC address of your Wireless LAN card of each laptop
by
START RUN type cmd Ok
New window opens
type ipconfig /all

I think you need this MAC details rather than the laptop's.
Not sure.

Feedback.

The MAC addresses needed will be of the laptops which should get access. The simplest way to get them is to connect all laptops via wifi, and then go to the 'Station Info' menu item in the router page. You will see a list of laptops connected and you can copy their MAC addresses and configure the access in another page that says 'MAC FILTER'.

Update :

My cousin got a Type-2 modem(UTStarcom). It came with 4 LAN ports + WiFi.

So, the new Type-2 modems are same as Type-4 modems.

Hi folks,

How do you find the Type-II modems being supplied these days? (in terms of quality, stability, synching of connections, heat generation etc etc.)

I have an old WA1003A which has lasted a few years.... I find it a bit unstable at times, but nothing to complain about given its price

You can share the connection over wifi to more than 250 systems if you like, using this router.

There is atleast one guide on this forum on setting wireless security up.

But practically it is useless to have 250 user on single wifi router...
In that situation the speed of network and of INTERNET will be like snells speed, it will just crawl......
