Hello,

I had a Type 3 modem from Huawei. As I wanted to get WiFi, after having bought my laptop.

I could get one "UTStarcom WA3002-g4" modem.

I tried doing what has been told in the manual provided with the modem but in vain.

can you kindly provide me the configuration steps ? Both DSL and Wifi
Is there something additional to be done ??

(I got the modem bought thru my brother in law from a diff. city. Could that be a problem ?)

Regards,
Fifa

Hey Thank you very much. I shall try these steps and get back to you.

Is that "10 digit HEX code as the wep key" enough to restrict unauthorized access ?

Meanwhile, I have another clarification. Now that I have 2 modems, would it be possible for me to have both of them in operation ?

WPA is better than WEP but that does not mean WEP is bad. Have a look at this article:

WEP vs. WPA

And I have a small section on how to setup WPA security in this guide:

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

Thank you for that reply.

Can you also let me now abt my second question..

"Now that I have 2 modems, would it be possible for me to have both of them operating ?"

Can I try it ? Would it pose any problem if both of them are kept switched on ?

yes, when you set your modem to ppoe mode.. you cannot dial from your computer..!!

hey,
I believe that every one might have got the CD along with the package ,
There are few manuals and Trouble shoooting PDFs available that are ofgreat help and are very informative too , they aalso provide the information about configuring the modem in different mode like Brigded, PPPoE,PPPoA and so on.

connecting two modems at a time :

I tink connecting two modems to a single dsl line wont work , and i could not understand the requirement too , what is the purpose , if u could specify your requirement

superprash2003

well your right everybody is supposed to get a CD.. but since we are dealing with BSNL(sarkari).. dont expect everybody to get one.. i got one ..yeah...cool...but it was cracked.. it will broken into 2.. so obv didnt work.. some didnt even get it!!!for some the lineman just brings some modem without box just like some tel cable...
