Thread: Help!!!!

Frds,
Im using type1 modem...If i want to connect BB.. then i simply switch on the button..once i finished i will switch off the button even though all the indicators on (ethernet,internet,DSL,power).. Am i doing a right thing?? or do we have any proper way to switch it on and off. Most of u guys are mentioning.. "port forwarding".. "pppoe connection".. "always on". can any1 tell me.. just4kix... player.. whitestar.. help plz...

You are probably refering to the way we power down a PC: Shutdown and then switch power off. Now you are wondering whether there is "power-down" method for modem also. Well, there isn't.

There is absolutely no problem in simply switching off the modem.

p/s. A suggestion: Please use a context sensitive subject like "Proper way to shut down a modem" instead of just "Help!!!!"

i know exactly what you are talking about. wen i got my connection (i live in a desolated area) the damn bsnl guys didnt even set it up. i somehow managed to set it up and i did exactly what u used to do-press button, use broadband, switch off(press button).
then my broadbad blacked ouy for a month (and i paid 500 bucks!!). then this guy helps me and this is what i do know:
-go to 192.168.1.1
-wan
-ppoe, enter username password ok
-wait for a minute, check in status. if connected rock'n'roll else keep pressing "ok" till it gets connected.(takes 5minutes complete, by the watch sometimes)

now mr.senior member above me, is that the 'right' way or is there another more sensible way (mine is irritating to all in my family :-x )

The problem at your end appears to be that your modem/router has not stored the settings in the flash memory. That is the reason why you are required to enter details all over again, everytime.

Please note 'Save Changes' or such button does not save the settings to the flash memory. Instead, these are stored for that session only.

Visit your router web setup page. Inside the "Tools" or such menu there will be option to "Save Settings and Reboot". For instance, this option is available under Toos --> Misc. for UT-300R2U modem.

I have been switching on and switching off the modem by the mains switch.

Hi just4kix.. i have been waiting for u.. here is my doubt.. when i switch on my modem.. its automatically connecting to internet.. so.. if we are using script for 2-8AM.. how to do that?? i mean.. my pc is powerd on.. modem is also on(connected automatically) so.. some transfer would be happen before 2AM... how to restrict it?

I have never tried it myself. But some people have posted scripts in this forum. Keeping your PC on throughout the night and using Windows Scheduler, you can do like this:

- 1:55 AM: Run the script that terminates the internet connection
- 2:05 AM: Run the script that starts the internet connection
- 7:55 AM: Run the script that terminates the internet connection

I am not an expert at this unfortunately.
