Hi,
I brought my router from US. I was using it with cable modem there and setup was very easy. They have installation guide and I tried to setup wireless router with my BSNL smartax Mt882 modem.
I followed the steps, but there is no connectivity between DSL modem and wireless router.
I have connected output of modem to WLAN port of my router.Is that right,
Also for using modem directly as a LAN connection, we have to assign ip addresses to LAN, Is that a problem while setting up wi-fi router?
Both of them are using same port as 192.168.1.1.
Can somebody help me in this?

Avinash, I have Airlink wireless modem AR430W (got real cheap for $9.99 ).

You should connect the LAN port of BSNL smartax Mt882 to one of the LAN ports (1~4) of the Airlink modem. Do not connect it to the Internet/WLAN port.

For problem 2, change the IP address of the Airlink modem to 192.168.2.1 or something other than 192.168.1.x

Hope this helps.
