Thread: Accessing WLAN from UTStartcom wifi modem

hello all,
i have Nokia E51 and a UTStarcom wifi modem
i had to access internet from my phone using this modem
i searched a lot to get the solution but found none.
even the modem support was dead dumb.
and guess who gave me solution ???
a BSNL officer@my villages's BSNL office (m still in shock !!)
solution is quit simple

1.just open the web interface for modem/router config.
http://192.168.1.1
2.advanced setup
3.WAN
4.edit the entry with vpi/vci 0/35
dont change anything else in the settings
just click next next till you get ppp username,ppp password like fields
5.once you get it enter your broadband username and password here
authentication should be set to AUTO.
6.enable wireless from wireless section
7.save setttings and reboot

thats it now u should be able to access WLAN

NOTE :: c ur internet becomes ALWAYS ON because of these settings.

Hi Abhijeet:

I asked a same kinda question about a minute ago. I am buying a IPOD touch, but, wanted to know how to surf internet wirelessly using BSNL, since IPOD can connect to wi-fi. I am not sure if BSNL is wi-fi. Also, can you tell what router should I use ?

BSNL provides wifi router with boradband connection
you have to explicitly mention this in application form as TYPE II modem
you can also purchase from outside,but BSNL does provide good modems,configuration is also very easy
@my side its UTStrarcom WA3002G4 wireless router/modem
it provides 4 Ethernet LAN ports and a wifi antena
with wifi speed between router and your wireless device can go upto 54 Mbps !!

speedd while surfing too is dam good ,so u can 4 sure go 4 bsnl

Thanks man.

Just for confirmation the Type II modem is also a wireless router, or do I have to purchase separate ?

TYPE II -->wifi (as 4 the form says)
still better to tell them "I WANT WIFI modem"
cos its BSNL afterall !!!

i have an e51 nokia mobile..i have a wireless modem with bsnl broadband ....................but how i can connect with my mobile......how can i access broadband through my cell

can u plz tell the model of ur BSNL modem?
i've given some settings for the modem@the begginig of this set
witha little bit difference all modems have same settings
cos,@the end we jus have to make the modes setting "Always On" for internet
since our phone is not able to dial a connection,we have to username and password in the modem only.

once your modem is ready with settitngs u just have to create access point in e51 and you can surf net

and once u fins follow the instruction @begginiing

still i m helpless..bcoz no such instruction in my modem type

plz loook in the PDF's provided with modem CD
there must be the way to get to the WAN settings
cos BSNL people does those settings before starting broadband@our place

How to do the following?

1.just open the web interface for modem/router config.
http://192.168.1.1

enter that ip address (which is of your modem) in a web browsers Address Bar(i.e.Internet Explorer,Mozilla Firefox)...then the web interface will open up just like any other web site

I was able to login to http://192.168.1.1 using my ipod touch and i have changed the settings as instructed in the first page but still after typing any other url the safari browser throws an error saying "safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"
pls any one have any suggestion???

as u r able to open 192.168.1.1 from your wifi device your WLAN connectivity is OK

problem lies in making the modem "ALWAYS ON"

please see the instruction once again
especially advanced settings->WAN-> in this the entry pppoe eith 0/35

make sure to save/reboot after you make changes stated on page one

how do i configure my handset
my handset detects the modem and eve goes to the page after an option pops up " continue using browsing "

but after that nothing happens and and after a long gap browser stops

how do I solve this

is there any setting needed to be chnaged or configured in the handset

my bsnl modem is in always on condition

if you can see the page "http://192.168.1.1." from the phone browser then no extra srttings needed @phone side
plz chk this n post ... then only ill be able to tell

in your phone settings enable get IP address & dns address automatically.also if there is a gateway option in phone set it to 192.168.1.1

and how to get back to your original setting that is how to disable this "always on" mode of modem.

simply change the settings in your modem from pppoe(always on) to bridge mode

I have tired all the options as suggested by you but could not get the desired result, i.e. could not connect with my e51 and wireless router.
Then I had to manuualy assign an ip address in the phone and gateway address was set as 192.168.1.1 then it started to work.
The setting was given by one of the BSNL employees.
