Thread: Linksys Wireless Router Setup with BSNL's ADSL Modem.

Hi,

I have a Linksys Wireless Router and Vonage VOIP connection. I have a Toshiba Laptop with Linksys Wireless Adapter...... I need to connect to internet via my Laptop and Desktop using the Linksys Wirless Router..... I have a BSNL broadband connection in my home........ BSNL has provided me a white colour ADSL modem.........I am not able to configure the setup with Linksys Wirless Router........ I am able to establish wireless connection with my laptop and wireless router....but, not able to connect to internet....Can anyone help me out how to establish this connection, so that I can connect to interenet via my laptop and desktop........It will be really greatful to you.......

Thanks ....

u need to find out the ip address of the linkys wireless router.If using xp go to start ->run->type cmd press enter,than at command prompt type ipconfig then enter.If the ip address is 192.168.1.x u need to Disable DHCP in the linlsys and alot ip manually preferably 192.168.0.1 ,this is because the adsl modem has an ip 192.168.1.x which when connected to the linksys causes a race like situation.Change the ip ,connect the lan out of the modem to the wireless ,allot password in the wireless security and enjoy.

Guys , ive managed to link my bsnl modem to my linksys router for net access
Was hell as i was initially trying to use the config CD that came with the rouuter

After reading through this forum , i altered my approach and managed the seemingly impossible (mind u im a novice in networking - although deeply interested in tech)

This forum is a great resource i hope my post will help reduce the hours to set up a home net wifi

So here goes

Following is the scenario fro my home network with internet

wired on my desktop
wireless on my laptop

Following Do's and Donts (how i managed to pull to off after a 6 hrs of ordeal)

No change required on PC for settings ; let it remain as it is for your BSNL DSL modem. I.e. Pc LAN configured to obtain ip automatically

Dont use the linksys config CD , instead just change the linksys routers ip from 198.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1

set ur net connection as DHCP (where u dont need to enter any user name and password)

set up the wireless password and preferably change SSID name (i.e network name as it appears) as ur neighbours may have the same name

hi guys please help me out with configuration to use my liksys WAG200G annex A model , for wireless as well as my desktop settings


regards

Did you try the Wizard ?
Select "Bridged" mode.
For BSNL enter VPI/VCI 035
Use a "Dialer" in computer and enter
your UserId and PW.
try Lan connection first.

REFERENCE :
Basic Setup

This is what i did to get my WiFi working. I hope it helps others who have trouble in setting their WiFi system up.



SmartAX MT-880 = ADSL modem (no built-in wifi)
WRT54G = WiFi BB router

Configuration :
PC-Wired
Laptop(s), Mobile, Ipod-touch, PSP - on WiFi

Cabling :

1. Network cable wired from MT-880 to one of the 4 ports of WRT54G (NOT the port marked "internet")
2. Network cable from one of the 3 remaining ports of WRT54G to network port of PC (again, NOT the port marked "internet")

1. since default IP address for both modem and router will be 192.168.1.1, first connect only the ADSL modem to the PC and set it up as below.

Hi,

You need to check out the IP address of your bsnl modem. As you are usind DSL connection so i believe it must be 198.168.1.1
on the other hand linksys router itself has default ip 192.168.1.1
its makin IP conflict

Solution:
To resolve this. go to your linksys page and change the ip with 192.168.2.1
it will work.

If you are PPPoe connection then there is no need to change the IP
you need to enter all the details provided by your ISP on your router page. with user name and password.

Thanx

I have been using this configuration since 2006 and there is no problem at all.
