Thread: wifi router

i have a beetel 450 bxi router initially used for airtel wifi connection. rite now i have a bsnl broadband connection. can this router be used for converting bsnl conctn to wifi or will i have to use a new router? the thing is, when i switch on the router an airtel network gets detected by my computer. so i want to know whether this router can be used for a bsnl connection.

The vpi/vci for BSNL is 0 and 35.


Assuming earlier settings for Airtel have not been changed .
If you are using Dialer mode
enter BSNLUserID and PW
you may get connected to Bsnl Broadband.Internet.

To create a dialer see

Para two:
If not
see this link for similar modem/router
for settings in your Beetel 450BX.

confirm you get connected in LAN/ethernet mode.
For WIFI refer Chennai BSNL. link

tnx for ur reply, i tht it wld wrk for me but it dsnt. wen i am entering user id and paaswrd as admin, it does not log in. instead it asks for user id and passwrd two more times and then shows unauthorised. i don no wat to do wid dis router now. is dere no way i can crack it?

when i switch on the router an airtel network gets detected by my computer

Makes no difference. you can change the name later.
Confirm you get connected to BSNL Internet
now in LAN mode.
VPI/VCI 0 and 35
2
IF NOT
There is a reset microswitch at the bottom
( near right leg small round hole ).
With power on use a ball pen refill tip and press gently for about 10 to 20 seconds.
OR
a RESET switch at the rear.

The unit's settings are restored to factory settings.
Then use your dialer and enter Bsnl useId PW to connect.
If not
open 192.168.1.1 admin password
( if supplied by Airtel ) or admin

@vingo
How did you connect to Internet when you
connected to BSNL before reset?
1.

Dialer Mode ( should work now !.)
You enter USERID PW in computer window
Or
2.
"Always On" your USERID PW entered
in the modem WAN page.
Modem starts
automatically connected to Internet ( settings correctly done )when switched on.

see this post
and select a site/link with screen shots.
First try LAN mode for BSNL
Wifi mode later.

How do you connect to internet now ? wth which modem?
I am available in this forum till 1300 PM.

wifi is workin fine on one of my laptops which has xp. i configured the router using this laptop. but it is not workin with another that has vista installed on it. the network gets detected and all.. bt the internet is nt workin..will i have to configure the router separately with all the laptops i want to use?

If it is getting detected in vista laptop then it will get connected also select your wifi network with the SSID given in router and click connect it will work for sure.

i am selecting the network as mentioned in the ssid.. still internet is not working.

Your WiFi Network will be displayed like this....



Right Click on the Network SSID and select properties.



Give the same Security key stored in the Router.

i have tried every trick mentioned on net.. dusnt seem to work.. i am using the wifi connection on two xp systems simultaneously now.. but vista seems too complex to crack

@deepmohan.. wen i did wat u suggested, the network dint connect at all.. it said the network settings arent correct.

compare XP network details

Post screenshots.
Also of Vista, similar page for
@deepmohan's suggestions.

Check in WLAN properties page
WLAN card configure Advanced , same
settings for VISTA are selected as in XP systems.
SSID ADHoc B AdHOC G etc.

If you are successfully connected to your WiFi Network in Vista then Network and Sharing center will look like this.

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing center



Please check and conform.

PROBLEM

....also the the modem page does not open.....

Where is the reset switch at the bottom of 450BXI?
RESET with power on for 20 seconds .
Use a ball pen refill tip and press the microswitch.
Factory settings will be restored.
Then try admin admin or password
