Thread: To get wireless - HOME 500

Hi friends,

Im thinking of subscribing to HOME 500 plan,
but this is a wired connection,
As my usage is for Laptop, i want a wireless connection, USB modem sort of thing.. something like wat TataIndicom,Relian.. provides...

Can anyone suggest.. getting a router will suffice.. ???
Will the same speed (256Kbps / upto 2Mbps ) be maintained..??

Are you asking whether BSNL provides datacards?

hmm.. i need my laptop to be connected...
Obviously.. i would prefer wireless..
Datacards from Tata, Reliance.. offer only 144Kbps..
but im intrested in high speed plan,... like HOME 500 in BSNL.

Can i have a facility wher this HOME 500 can be made wireless with a Router?

If at all, Do you suggest??

Will the speed remain same .. 256Kbps / Upto 2Mbps ???

Is a Router from BSNL ok !! OR any other .. like verizon,etc is recommended

Yes BSNL also provides datacard but some story 144kbps. You can visit here
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited - BSNL Data Card - High Speed Internet - Anywhere - Home Page

But EVDO Card is available from BSNL (Internet speed up to 2.4 Mbps), but i am not sure its response.

Go for Type IV modem, which supports Wireless + 4 LAN connections, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.. (i am using one)

I am looking forward for response from other users whose use different modem models specific to BSNL connection.

EVDO is not available everywhere. My suggestion is go for a Type IV ADSL modem which has wi-fi capability.

Wat is the diff between Type 4 and Type 2

the difference between type2 and type 4 is

type 2 : it has wi-fi but has only one LAN port

type 4 : it has also wi-fi but has 4 LAN ports

rest of the features are same

if you purchase in between these two ADSL modems there will be wi-fi connection obviously

and yes ofcourse speed will be maintained who told you that your speed will be hampered .........besides transmission losses in case of wireless

If i take type 4 modem,
can i use this for wireless even if i change the ISP..
do you suggest any brand of router,, or shall i jus take up the modem from BSNL..

yes you can use this router with any ISP.

you see the type4 modem is damn cheap i.e. for rs1800 and if you are willing to pay more then you can buy some good ADSL routers from brands like Linksys,Netgear or Asus these brands are the best of the best. Try to buy a router which sports Range Next technology besides regular a/b/g technology.......so the choice is yours

hi player
what is this Range Next technology
does it have any advantages over a/b/g technology
Which ADSL router has this tech feature?

How much would either of these Linksys,Netgear or Asus cost!!!

What about Verizon. do u have any idea ??

it is just a newer protocol just like USB 1.1(12mbps) & USB 2.0(480mbps).802.11 n or N-range is faster with typical transfer rates of 74mbps & max rates upto 300mbps with a range of upto 70m(twice that of b/g standards).here is a detailed link---
IEEE 802.11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

modems/routers having this technology are latest & as such will be costier.you have to decide if you can afford one though older b/g standard routers will also work fine & if you don't want to spend a few thousands more to get extra range in meters you will be fine with b/g routers/modems.

ADSL routers are costly from these brands they should cost around from 2500-and goes above to 6000 rs

Most of the new routers sports this technology

verizon.......never heard of it bro

for the home 500 plan, will it suffice if i take type 4 modem,
or should i have another hardware device also.
asking coz, i have seen a video for setup of netgear router,
it says, requiremetns are PC, Modem, Router

plz help

no not at all ......type 4 modem is router+modem .....no need to buy anything else ............purchase type 4 and you are ready to go

yo yo...

great!!!...

thank for the info player...

your welcome sir..
