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.

thank you

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.
