I've been using BSNL Home 500 for quite a long time and the modem is the UT300R2...For the past month or so, my modem is causing a lot of problems, mainly the WAN connection gets disconnected (the orange light goes off). There doesn't seem to be a problem with the phone line. I think i've been using the modem for about 2 years. So is it that, the modem is facing the end of its life or any other problem.

It is possible but a modem should not 'die' so quickly. Let the problem be confirmed by a technician (from BSNL or private) before buying another.

If you are having problems with CPE, call up technician and to replace the same.

What is CPE ??

Actually a technician came up, and after checking it he asked to check the modem adapter, cause he had a doubt that even that could be the prob. But when i took the adapter to an electronics shop, it seemed to work properly.
But i haven't tried my modem with a new adapter.

but does the light come back on after some time...............Cos i also face the same pro.....................

Which is the LED. If it is DSL may be due to poor quality of line.

CPE means Customer Premises Equipment, i.e., the splitter, router, etc.

Since the modem appears to be working, there may be a problem with your line. Also test your modem at your friend's place.

Well i had the same problem, the wan ppoe light blinks off and the net gets dc.
Its really horrible that it wont connect again for 3-4 hours, even if it does again it'll blink.
Its the modem due to which this happens.i replaced my old modem and my net works fine now.The modem has a very low lifespawn when used extensively Sucks

hey u guys i face the disconnection problem , with this modem i dont know abt it but i tried all the of configuring so ,, i am done mee going to buy d-link router instead of ut300r2u,, is that the same some will i get in d-link too any one can suggest abt d-link is good every told it its the best for bsnl broadband

better not to get into conclusions very soon.. it need not be a modem problem.. since how long are you facing this problem? if its since a few hours then it could be a temporary issue and would be sorted out by bsnl
