Thread: Connecting Ipod Touch on Type 2 BSNL BB (Modem - AR800v v3.0)

Hi,

I am having problems connecting my Ipod Touch on BSNL BB

Modem - AR800v v3.0 (Type 2)
Manufactured by - Fujian Star-net Communications

I can connect my laptop to the wifi network and I have checked that the PPoe mode and DHCP are enabled in the modem.

I tried BSNL customer care but with no luck..... It would be helpful if anyone could help me connect my ipod to the wifi ..... Thanks in advance

see teracom link below.

Presume you are on "Dialer' mode PPoe.
Change to "AlwaysOn" PPP/PPPoE and enter your userId and PW in wan page of modem.
Post copy/paste here
ONLY when in wireless lan mode;
ipconfig /all

Just as essbebe said:

• Your internet connection (modem) must be configured in PPPoE mode (always ON), i.e., you should not be using bridge mode where you dial the connection every time.
• Handheld devices such as iPod Touch, iphone, Windows Mobile smartphones, etc. also have a TCP/IP interface. It is best to enable DHCP service in the modem so that these wi-fi enabled devies are allocated an IP address automatically.

Have a look at the following articles that explain principles:

Basic Broadband Guide
SOHO Guide

I think the dhcp is enabled and it is in PPoe Mode.Please find the details in the attachment and let me know what the next step is. thank you for your reply

1.please check link "teracom" given below.
2.Under services menu select UPnP also.
3. DHCP give a range say 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.10
4. does the name of the WIFI given in router appear in IPod?

Yes the name of the wifi does appear on my ipod but when I type in the password it says " Not able to Connect". I did look at the Services menu and did not find UPnP.

These were the options available to me on the Services menu

IGMP Proxy
IPv4 Routing
IPv6 Routing
Quality of Service
Mac Filtering

All of these require Superuser Admin password except IPv6 Routing.

Thanks for your reply

You should connect in "ALWAYS ON" PPP/PPPoE mode.
In WAn page your user ID and Password entered in WAN page.
see this

In services UPnP is available.

essbebe actually that is the same type of page that I was talking about. I too do not see UPnP in that. I see enable DHCP and UPnP being mentioned, but how to check if it is enabled and how to enable it, where is it located on the modem webpage?

Hi,

Even i am facing the same problem. I am able to connect to my laptop using Wifi, but when i try to connect to ipod touch 4th generation, it says unable to connect. My Ipod is identifying the wifi connection.
I am also using the same BSNL modem..
