Thread: Setup of ADSL Modem/Router UT-300R2U with Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G

Even though the modem may be the same, BSNL uses new firmware so that the web interface looks completely different.

Since I do not have that modem it is not possible for me to provide step by step instructions with pictures, etc. You must set it up by using the field values and figuring stuff by reading the existing guides. Here is a method to setup UT-300R2U manually:

http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...no-wizard.html (PPPoE Setup of UT-300R2U - Manual Method (No Wizard))

Hi,
With the below link I am able to configure my modem either to PPPoE or Bridge mode.
Prashanth Speaks-Technology and Life: How to Setup bridged mode in UT300R2U

Now how do I configure Wireless router - Dlink DI524.

I have accessibility to wireless router through 192.168.0.1 and not 192.1681.1.1. BSNL modem can be accessed through 192.168.1.1.

can you just help me

Thanks
Asif

i would say.. setup bsnl modem in ppoe mode.. enable DHCP in bsnl modem.. say 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.10 .. then change ip address of wifi router to 192.168.1.100 .. and disable DHCP in wifi router.. then connect a cable from bsnl modem to LAN port of wifi router ( not WAN port).. this should do the trick...

Thanks

Hi Prash,
My modem is default set to PPoE and DHCP enabled. DHCP is set to 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254.

Is this way you are suggesting
1. connect modem to laptop, set for PPoE, change DHCP 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.10
2. Disconnect modem and connect wifi router to laptop from LAN port login with 192.168.0.1
3. From LAN tab change IP to 192.168.1.100.
4. Then connect BSNL modem to LAN port and Laptop is connected to which port.
Please explain
Thanks
Asif

its a wifi router right?? so you can connect your laptop to the wifi router wirelessly.. if not you could just connect it to the 2nd LAN port..

and its not working here in Banglore, do i have to purchase that one..

I have tried all the steps but, its not working.. I can connect to modem .. but while pinging the outer dns ip , its saying reply from modem but not reachable to this dns ip address.. so reaching any site is outofscope..

If you please email me anything .. if you can.. to santosh_chandel@hotmail.com..

Thanks..
Santosh

which modem do you currently have?? are you in bridged mode or ppoe mode? have you set vpi/vci 0/35 cause mtnl uses 0/32

I did what u suggested Prash. But once I change the IP of wifi router, I am not able to access with new IP (192.168.1.100) by typing the same in browser. I dont know what to do. Do I hav to make any changes for the LAN properties. Now its set to automatically configure IP, Subnet, gateway
Please help

Thanks
Asif

Hi Prash,
I am able to connect to wireless and I connected 2 laptops also in wireless mode. But on yesterday when I tried to connect, its says I am connected but limited connectivity. I tried switching off and on both laptop, modem and wifi router. Still didnt work. Even I checked the key also. thats also correct.

Then I reset wifi router. and login again with admin, then I change DHCP enable to disable and allow reboot, after rebooting its says limited connectivity for the lan. Here I have connected just wifi router and laptop using lan port.

Please help me to figure it out

Thanks
Asif

@asifpm could you post the output of ipconfig from the command prompt..a screenshot would help
@santhosh_CHANDEL
you are talking about bridged mode which will not work in this situation as asifpm has two laptops and wants to use the internet simulatenously!!!so ppoe mode is the only solution!!!

@santosh_CHANDEL, you have only talked about creating a dialer for a bridge mode, just as superprash2003 said.

Configuration of modem and router is entirely different and is not a child's play either. This guide talks about this and if you go carefully in the guide, creating a dialer is also covered in a section.

What exactly are you reffering to as nonsense? Would you care to elaborate for us all please.

Dear God, Forgive them for they know not what they are speaking ....

Prash,

Fianally I able to connect to internet thru wireless. One problem was the wifi router wasnt getting reset, even I applied. I happen to read that apply reset at the at time booting. That helps me to reset the router and I reconfigured everything in router.

But now I have to set up security also. But I dont remember whats the ip set for router. How can I find that. Once I am able to access the config page, I know how to do that.

Thanks a lot for all the helps

Asif

if you enabled DHCP in your router then type ipconfig in your command prompt and you should find a gateway ip address.. that would be your router ip address..

DHCP is enabled in BSNL modem only. I have disabled DHCP in wifi router. Thats what you suggested me to do. DHCP in modem is set as 192.168.1.3 - 192.168.1.10

oh.. in that case your router is just like a wifi hub.have you tried 192.168.1.100?? that maybe your router's ip

Now the wfi connection is, modem is connected to one of the LAN ports of wifi router. Connect another LAN port of wifi router to laptop and try out it in browser , is that what you are suggesting!

no i was just telling you the role played by the wifi router currently in your network. .you should be able to access your wifi router from your laptop wirelessly.. did you try 192.168.1.100 ?

I will try tonite and update you ! Thank you

Done ! I have connected 2 laptops with security enabled and both working fine . Thank you very much for the all the helps you have given to me ..

Asif

Thnx buddy for the help....I was searching for such type of help....

Hi Prash,

First off, thanks for the excellent doc. Thanks to it, I was at least able to troubleshoot a bit more, and got a better understanding of how this works. But I am still not able to fully resolve.

I'll walk through the steps first, so maybe you can help identify exact trouble spot.

1) In the UT-300R2U wizard, if I set 'PPPoE/PPPoA' and enter the uid/pwd (i.e. bypassing WRT54G), then I am able to connect fine.

That tells me that the uid/pwd are ok (I wasn't even sure about this earlier).

2) Next, I set 'Bridge Mode' in the UT-300R2U wizard, and the dial-up/broadband Internet connection as described in step 2 of your doc.

Once I start this connection, I am able to connect to the internet. So far, so good.

3) Once I complete step 3, I am not able to connect to the internet.

In the WRT54G, for 'Local IP Address', I tried both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1. For 'Starting IP address', I set it to '100'

I get the IP address I expect (either 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.2.100, depending on 'Local IP Address' specified). But not getting a connection to the internet.

In true Windows spirit, I tried restarting everything - UT-300R2U, WRT54G and my comp. No luck.

Any idea what's going on?

4) I assume after setting up WRT54G as described in step 3, there is no need for the dial-up/Broadband connection created in step (2). Right?

TIA,
Prakash

P.S:
I saw a different suggestion in one of your posts. I'll probably try that next i.e. setting PPPoE on BSNL modem, turning on DHCP on it, disabling DHCP in WRT54G etc.
