Thread: After reset cannot save Login & Password on router

Hi ppl,

I did a hardware reset on my wireless MTNL router WA3002-g4

But post that i cannot save the login (my tel number) and password. I have to everytime i restart my router or power it again i have to enter the information by visiting 192.168.1.1 and then only i can surf !


In the status section when i check the System logs it shows
1/21/2009 23:40:1> SNMP TRAP 2: link down
1/21/2009 23:40:2> mpoaChannDown: ch<0> null iface
1/21/2009 23:40:3> netMakeChannDial: err=-3001 rn_p=8048d690
1/21/2009 23:40:7> ppp_ready: ch:804e7e9c, iface:80423228
1/21/2009 23:40:7> SNMP TRAP 3: link up
1/21/2009 23:40:7> Accept() fail
1/21/2009 23:40:7> Accept() fail

Kindly provide solution

thanks

Buddy, did you have save all the information on routers firmware?

try to reset again the modem/router please describe little more about the problem and read it

Yes tried to reset it again. All information went away after reset. Then i entered all again and saved it and i can connect to the net. The problem is after restart/switching all the router again all information is intact except for the login and password. That information is BLANK. If i press the radio button PPPoE above the login box the right login and password reappears. Then i save it and it works.
I hope you get the picture

Did you try steps 6&7 as given here

Yes done that, problem persists

Reset the router using the web interface or by pressing the reset button which can be found behind the router with the help of a small pin. Make sure the button is pressed gently using a pin for at least a duration of 10 secs.

Hopefully after the rest, reconfigure the modem and now the settings should be saved properly in the router.

tried the reset option couple of times but no luck !

If the modem is within the warranty period then u can exchange it for another modem.

Yep, there is something wrong with router's firmware or you are not doing it right.

as the modem is from bsnl itself, take to exchange and ask them to check the device

Too much of resetting is also harmful as it ruins the firmware programming. Try it for a maximum of 3-5 times and then get the BSNL techies to play with it.

Why so?

does EPROM have limited write cycles?

As i was out for a week or so, i had shut the modem and gone. On my return it seems to be working just fine... so i guess the problem is solved as of now...

thanks for your inputs and assistance ppl

Cheers
