Thread: type 2 and type 4 modems

i am using home 500 plan of bsnl broadband.
please tell me the difference of type 2 and type 4 modem.
speed and perfomance is same of both modem or any difference please replay.
i have one desktop and one laptop computer.
please reply as soon as posible beacause i ask type 4 modem but the broadband officer said that he has only type 2 modem.

thanks

type 2 modem has 1 LAN/ethernet port only while type 4 has 4 LAN ports.all else is same so my suggestion is go for type 4 modem as it will provide you with more connectivity options in future.also if you decide to buy type 4 modem 1 thing you must know is that siemens sl2_141 type 4 modem does not have a reset switch like other modems & if you forgot the modem's username/password you won't be able to do anything.make sure that whatever modem you buy must come with a reset switch.reset switch is usually a small hole in which you insert a pin to press the reset button.

@Whitestar
I am using siemens SL2_141 modem and it has reset Button. and I am quite confirm. because 2 times I have already reset my modem

@robert_0007,can you please tell me where exactly this button is located & whether your modem is siemens or nokia siemens.if you can post the picture taken by mobile etc then even better.

i think the reset button is next to the LAN ports

@ Whitestar_999
It is clearly written on the modem that my modem is Siemens SL2_141 (Also Dataone is written) But Nokia is not mentioned any where in my modem and even in the (Cartoon BoxProvided with it). The next thing is that I have seen Nokia Siemens Sl2_141. which is exactly same in looks but Nokia is mentioned on the modem box. And regarding reset button. If you see the lower surface of the modem (Facing the LED toword you) then you will find one 'o' hole at the lower left corner of the lower side of the modem. (But reset is not written there) among the squire or rectangular hole. that very particular 'o' hole will serve the purpose for your reset button, if you press it using a pin for 3 second with a switch on condition. This way my purpose was served two time. Actually bro I was in problem as I switched of the DHCP server in the modem and thus my PC got an horrible IP, and that is why I vould not even login to my modem. then I asked a BSNl guy (who is my friend) he told me the source for reset button. But one important thing is that reset is not mentioned (Written) there.
