If you are not getting the "Wizard" option, then you can do the setup from the 'WAN' tab.

If nothing is working, you can reset the UT-300R2U ADSL Modem/Router. On the back panel there is a RESET button. Power on the router. Using a dull pointed object such as the back side of a toothpick, press this button and keep it pressed for 10 to 15 seconds.

Let me know. Thanks.

Hi
I have bought the Linksys router and trying to install that. But according to your guide i need to go to the site Http://192.168.1.2

But the site is not at all opening. I do not know what to do ? PLease guide if possible.

thanks a ton for preparing the manual. I downloaded it yesterday and followed it to the letter (well almost, I will explain them very soon!). I am now able to browse net through wifi. I suggest a couple of changes to your file:

By default, BSNL modems come with ip as 192.168.1.1. So the default gateway would be this ip. So to make any config changes, it should 192.168.1.1 and not 192.168.1.2 as mentioned in your doc.

Also, the linksys router too comes with default ip as 192.168.1.1. To avoid IP conflict, Linksys manual recommends changing the ip of the ADSL Modem - which in our case is BSNL's. I changed my BSNL modem ip to 192.168.2.1 and DHCP range from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.100. With these changes in the modem and your instructions for linksys, I was able to hook on to the net.

I have one problem though. I have an HTC Touch (a.k.a 3450) pocket PC phone, which has in built Wifi feature. I am able to access net when security feature on the router is turned off. With the security feature on, my phone does not even get an ip assigned - it says check your network connections.

However, my lappy is able to access net in both unsecured mode and WPA - TKIP and AES algorithms.

You mentioned you had some issues with ur O2. How did you solve it?

tks

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the document created beautifully and the ip correction. I have succesfully configured the Linksys router but after that onwards the wireless connection is shown available but unable to connect everytime I try. Is that a BSNL problem ? I have Startup 250 plan.

PLease let me know if any kind of suggestion is known. Thanks a lot again for the configuration help I got.

@just4klix, Thanks for your valued suggestions and comments.

You are correct in saying that 192.168.1.1 is the default ip address for the modem. However, this 192.168.1.2 is also the modem's ip address when accessed through the USB interface. I assumed that someone would use the USB connection for the first time setup. Both, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, would be able to access the BSNL ADSL modem/router's web interface.

You can change the BSNL modem/router's default IP address or you can change the Wireless Router's IP address. As long as they are on different, that should be good enough.

I had initially set the Wireless Security as: WPA Personal (TKIP+AES). My O2 XDA IIi was unable to connect. Next I changed it to WPA Personal (AES); but XDA did not connect. After I changed to WPA Personal (TKIP), the XDA was abale to connect. All this time, the laptop was able to connect. XDA IIi is also an HTC product. Perhaps the firmware does not support AES and that may be the problem.

Hope this helps.

Have you been able to connect anytime (to the internet)? Or were you able to connect the one time but later on unable to connect?

There are two parts to the setup:

a) Setup of the BSNL Modem/Router in the bridged mode (and creating a dial up connection from wired desktop). This setup assumes that you have used the router's CD to install the drivers and connect the router to your desktop using a USB cable. Once the modem/router is connected, you access the web interface (for setup) from the page http://192.168.1.2. Please note that your desktop/laptop must be connected to the BSNL router by USB or Ethernet RJ45 cable.

b) Setup of the the Linksys Wireless Router. After you have setup the BSNL router as a bridge, you should setup the Linksys router in PPPoE mode. The page for setup is http://192.168.1.1. I have also mentioned that you should change the Please note that your desktop/laptop must be connected to the Linksys router by Ethernet RJ45 cable. I have also mentioned that you must change the Linksys router's IP address to 192.168.2.1

Let me know if you still have issues.

Hi,
Yes according to the previous post I changed the ips and configured the LinkSys router properly(I think so), and after that I was able to connect to the internet first time. But from next time onwards it shows that Wireless network is available, but when I try to connect to that it gives error :

Unable to connect to network.

I have Laptop with Win Vista Home premium.

Thanks a lot for helping me a lot, I am still working on checking all the configurations but still could not resolve the problem.

Thanks n regards
Niladri.

@Niladri, Are you able to connect to the Linksys Router Web Interface? If yes, go to the 'Status' tab and check the connection status. The status page should display a real IP address. If it displays 0.0.0.0, then you are not connected. Click on the 'Connect' button on that page and see whether it connects to the BSNL Bridge (mdem/router).

If it does not connect, it will return an error message.

If this happens, check the BSNL modem/router. See whether it is setup as a bridge. Connect your laptop directly to BSNL modem/router via Ethernet cable and setup a dialer connection (how to do this is explained in my guide). Try connecting to the internet that way. If that works then the problem is with Linksys setup. If not, the BSNL modem/router needs to be set up again (you may have to reset it, if required).

If the problem is with Linksys setup, redo Linksys setup. Reset Linksys router if required.
