Hi Ganesh,

You laptop may have wireless access; that will make your home network trully wireless. You must buy and install a wireless network router to have a true wireless network. A true wireless network is one where there is a wireless network access point.

The setup of any wireless modem is more or less similar - the interface GUI may look a lot different. So if you buy a wireless router and connect it to your UT-300R2U router in the manner mentioned in the guide, then you can have a wireless setup at your home.

However, you can set up P2P (peer to peer) wireless network from your laptop. In this kind of network, all other computers can connect to the internet through your laptop. However, your laptop will have to connected to the BSNL router by ethernet RJ45 cable (wire).

Regarding modem IP address. Others also pointed out that the IP address is 192.168.1.1. Yes, the modem's IP address is 192.168.1.1. But to access the web setup page, it depends upon how your desktop/laptop is connected to the modem. If you are connected using LAN cable (as in your case), then the web page is accessed from http://192.168.1.1. On the other hand if the modem is connect via USB (and this is how most people connect to the modem), the web setup page is accessed via http://192.168.1.2.

Perhaps I need to make these points clear in my document. Thanks.

Rgds,

I got my BSNL Broad band connection yesterday.... The lineman just came and gave me the modem (UT300R2U) and said the Username and password are already configured in the modem and left. when i connected the modem the dsl light doesn't comeup. Should i follow these steps? And i dont have the BSNL username or password. Please Help me out. When i called them they said the same again.

Very very Thankz my brother. u had explained well which i could easily understood and i changed to dialer mode.

I changed my router to dialer modem because am having the rapidshare downloader. In that, they are prescribing the dialer modem for auto switching ip. . so now i changed succesfully to dialup and am downloading from rapidshare of about 21 parts daily night without waking up.

Only because of this i could able to download the files from rapidshare and megaupload without any pain.

Thanks my friend.

The BSNL person is supposed to install the router and show you that internet is working. But you could do one thing. Use the UT-300R2U CD to install the drivers. The CD does not come with an auto-installer. Browse the CD, and fo the folder which is '\USB Driver\For Windows'. In this folder double click on 'setup.exe' and it will install the drivers. It will guide you when to connect the modem - when it does connect the modem via USB. (follow the router guide supplied with the kit).

After connecting the modem to your PC and open the web setup page (http://192.168.1.1). The page will ask you to login - login as 'admin'; password is 'admin'. Click on the 'WAN' tab.

If what the BSNL man said is correct, then the router must be setup in the PPPoE (always ON) mode. Your username can be found here. The password is 'password'.

DO NOT SAVE ANY CHANGES or CLICK ON THE 'APPLY' BUTTON.

If the modem is already setup (as what BSNL says), then you should be able to connect to internet. In my case, the BSNL person came and installed the drivers, setup the modem, showed that internet is working, left his contact numbers, etc.

To all those who have posted "Thank you" messages, I am sincerely grateful. All I say "You are welcome" in return. Glad to help out for sure.

Dear just4kix, i just had a look at your document and i am amazed at the effort and detail that have gone into it. Without even using it let me say thank you. Let me explain my situation.

I have a UT300R2U, A Netgear WGR614 and a couple of laptops. Now i didn't see your thread, i looked at some other threads that referred to huawei modems, and i fiddled around with a lot of settings on the modem and the router.....and messed everything up. Now the router is broadcasting and i can catch the signal with my laptop and login.....but i have no internet.....neither when connecting with RJ45 straight from modem......nor when it is modem > router > laptop......the "Internet" light on the modem is also off.....does this mean there is no internet signal coming in? or does this mean i've bollocksed it up somehow? please help!!!

One more thing.....when i go to 192.168.1.1 for my modem i get a menu screen and no wizard.....what do i do to get the wizard?

just4kix

Dear psychotropic, Thanks for the kind words.

I think that it will be best if you start afresh. Please reset both the modems by pressing the RESET switch with bluntly pointed object (do not use sharp pointed objects such as needles).

Keep the "RESET" switch pressed for at least 15 seconds.

After reseting both modems try setup all over again.

psychotropic

thanks for the quick reply......also can you let me know what to do about the fact that i can't get the wizard? The hands-on settings appear to be pretty complex.....thanks in advance

just4kix

I am not sure why you do not get the Wizard. If you do not get the Wizard, click on the WAN tab and select the 'Bridge' option. After selecting this option you do not have to do much. The others are default. Also I am about to post a new guide on this thread: Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection

The topic may be different but the principles are same.

just4kix

To those of you who said that that ther are unable to get to the 'Wizard' option.

Please do the following:

1. Login to the router page http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.1.2
2. Click on the 'WAN' button.
3. Manually enter the following settings:

For Bridging

hi, i reset my modem...but the Internet light is still not on....does that mean the problem is from BSNL's side and not mine?

just4kix

Yesterday I was facing this problem and internet was down in my area. It took 6-8 hours to fix. Check out first whether there is problem with intenet service in your area.

If that is not the case, then first try to get the wired connection working. Forget the Netgear equipment for some time, configure the UT-300R2U and check that you are able to connect.

Once UT-300R2U configuration and setup is sorted out, connect the Netgear router and then configure it.

psychotropic

can't figure out anything...internet is still not working in my house....been trying their helpline 1800 424 1600.....haven't gotten through to anyone even once.....have reset the modem multiple times.....don't know what to do.....am really starting to regret going for BSNL.....

If possible, please visit your local exchange. You have paid for a service and you should expect it.
