Default How to set Modem in Bridged mode and wireless router in PPoE mode

Hi fuys i got UT-300R2U modem and a WGR614 wireless router ....
And i have a BSNL BroadBand connection with user name and password.
Currectly i have my modem working in PPPoE with username and password feeded in the modem .And the router is configured with no user name and password ....
So can some one tell me how to configure the modem in a bridged mode and the router in PPPoE mode so that i can feed the username and password in the router console to dial it automatically rather than my modem dialling it ....
Please help.

are you sure a router can dial?it is a modem's job to dial & unless your router is a modem+router i don't think it can dial.

Well actually i thought ...that as we dial from a machine using a dialer via the modem configured in bridged mode .....may be storing the passowrd and username in the router can enable it to dial via the modem....

Well i dont know how correct is this ..but i can understand what u said that its only the modem that can dial .....so thats what i am saying
We wil allow the modem to dial but as a dialer can we use router ....?



Or else take it this way :
I want to have modem in bridged mode ....and i want to have a wireless router also installed ...so how can i do it ?

yes you can allow the router to dial.. most wireless routers do have the facility to dial.. so for that you need to setup your bsnl modem in bridged mode and your wifi router in ppoe mode.. but i dont get it.. there is no difference if the modem dials or wifi routers dial..its the same...better leave it as it is... unless you have some specific reason!!

Actually i am getting some problems while i access certail live exchanges .....
Hence i thought if i try changing the config may be it will make a difference .
Well actually doing the reverse will mean the same but i just wanted to try it .....
If u can let me know the procedure for
UT-300R2U and WGR614 ......then it will be very helpfulll
I can put the modem in bridge mode ...but how to put the router in pppoe mode ....is what i am not getting?

ok.. your answer is right there.. in the screenshot page...Select "YES" for Does your connection require a login ...then some new options will POP OUT..under INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER select OTHER...type your bsnl username and password in the LOGIN and PASSWORD field..
under DNS ...change it from get automatically from ISP to USE THESE DNS SERVERS..and type the following 2 ips
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 ..this is optional by the way.. but its better you use this..then just click on APPLY and you should be done...
also remember to go to your bsnl modem settings and change from ppoe mode to bridged mode!!!

Hi ,
Hey i tried doing so but it didnt work .....
Let me tell u what i have done :
I ran the UT-300R2U whizard and configured it for following settings :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WAN
Use this page to quickly configure the system.
ATM Interface: PVC-0
VPI: 0
VCI: 35
Virtual Circuit: Enabled

WAN Settings

Bridge Mode Choose this option if your ISP uses Bridge Mode. (I choose this.)

Bridge Mode

Connection Type : 1483 Bridged IP LLC
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I checked by dialing the connection from my windows machine.....the internet got connected and its working fine.
Now i think my modem got configured in the bridged mode successfully.
Also the DHCP is configured as saying :

Please select the appropriate option for the LAN network.
DHCP Server Choose this option to setup as a DHCP Server to distribute IP addresses to the LAN network. (i have chosen this option.)

DHCP Server

Start IP Address: 192.168.1.
End IP Address: 192.168.1.
Lease Time :days3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this i disconnected the modem from the machine ...and then i plugged in the router ...and then it took me to the Basic settings page :
There i set
the requires username and password option as YES
And choose
Other
entered Username and passowrd ...
and rest i kept as it is ....



but still not working.......
please tell me if i need to post more data for the router and tell me what should i do to get my router in pppoe mode and how to do it ...
so that ...when i connect my modem to the router and the router to the computer ...i will get internet directly...

well is DHCP enabled in your netgear?? check that out.. sometimes you may not be given an ip.. there maybe a conflict as to whether your bsnl modem is giving the ip or your netgear is giving the ip.. make sure DHCP is off at one place and on at the other..

go to the command prompt when your network connection is ON..i.e. when both your modem and router is on.. and type ipconfig in your command prompt.. and post results here.. i still havent got to know whether you are getting an ip address from your modem or router!!!

@shriniketsarkar

I have posted a guide on this: http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...er-wrt54g.html (Setup of ADSL Modem/Router UT-300R2U with Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G)

The topic covers Linksys router but if you follow the principles you should do same:

a) First setup UT-300R2U in bridge mode. Use the Wizard with default settings.
b) Now connect Netgear router to UT-300R2U (Lan port of UT-300R2U to Internet port of Netgear)
c) Connect your PC to Netgear router via LAN cable and open the Netgear web setup page
d) Change router IP settings in LAN Settings and set appropriate IP ranges. DHCP must be ON.
e) Go back to Basic settings, set up the PPPoE options
f) In Wireless Settings, name and enable SSID, WPA security, etc.

(At this point, you should be able to connect to internet)

g) Change 'admin' password in both routers.
