Well you did say above that the connection times out "......Sometimes during activity too", so I was wondering.

No I dont work for Reliance !

By we I meant the user community....

I will speak to customer care about timeout issue, and try to get EXACT info on when this happens.

cheers

Hey guys, Greetings to all

Even i screwed my mind doing all the possibilities to share the net over wireless devices, but finally came to only one solution which is AD HOC. Please read this document for help over wireless sharing on any DSL connection. I tried it and now successfully running 8 notebooks over one connection without the **** login page. You just need to login one notebook rest will work thru ad hoc.

But this will not resolve the login page & timeout issue.

Guys are you telling the white color rectangular instrument where cable from the wireless antenna (wimax) comes and gets connected and from where another cat5 cable goes and conencts to PC lan card as ADSL modem????

I askwed the customer service if it is an ADSL modem and they told NO, it is something called POE or something like that...

Please clear this doubt.

Hi

I'm looking to connect a wireless router to my reliance broadnet connection. Can any body please suggest which model/company should I go for? Considering that I've little knowledge of configuring routers, ease of configuration would be one of the key points?

thanks

Whatever wifi router you use, it will not work with Reliance. Because they started blocking routers. If you connect a router to their modem, it won't get an IP address. So. The only way is to directly connect your PC to their modem.

Of course, this is sucks.. But doesn't reliance comms as a whole suck?

Hi,

I also hv a linksys router connected to the reliance broadnet modem.My router is not able to get the dns and ip address from the reliance modem. It shows 0.0.0.0. Since I donot hv a static ip, I cannot provide one to the router. Is it a router problem ? Did u face something like this ?

Hi,

I had not used my wi-fi for the last 5 months. But I did check yesterday (17/12) and it (still) works ! :-). I know it is not beyond Reliance to do do such things, but I wonder why they are stopping this use of wi-fi routers. As it is they dont provide any support if you connect using wi-fi, then what is their problem if I use a router on my own ?

Also I have had no official communication from reliance though I dont expect any such niceties/courtesy from them.

What do you think is their motivation behind this ?

cheers.

bluetooth · 12-18-07, 04:10 PM

Was your connection with the router working before and has now stopped working ?

If not, then it could be a configuration issue. Refer to my post on configuration.

cheers.

vishy · 12-18-07, 04:33 PM

It worked once or twice earlier on. I still donot know hv a clear idea of the pattern in which it worked.
For couple of days now, it does not work.I even tried connecting the modem directly to the pc and logging into the reliance site and than plugging the modem cable to the internet port in the linksys router. It stills does not recognise the modem ip. The router is configured to used DHCP automically. I even got the dns server and hardcoded the same in the router configuration but still it is not able to recognise the internet connection.

Any help. Shuld I replace the router ?

saumil_b · 12-18-07, 11:36 PM

hi!
I share my feelings of apathy towards teh reliance customer care!! These buggers KNOW NOTHING!! i dont know how a multinational like reliance can be so silly! I switched from Hathway to Reliance, but am equally dissappointed

Though teh speeds better than hathway, the customer service is ****!!
Neways i am also looking to connect my wireless router to the connection so i can use wired on pc and wireless on laptop! i have a 150 kbps connection and dont have static IP! i know my dns and stuff!! is there any1 why can really help me setup this or is there any one in a similar situation and has been successful!!??

Thanks in advance!

Saumil!

bluetooth · 12-19-07, 01:05 PM

Hi,

I agree with you totally on Reliance Customer care....they are a bunch of idiots, who dont know what they are doing there.....anyway thats another story

Refer to my earlier post on how to configure the wi-fi router.
In essence its simple.
1. First start your modem. wait for it to boot completely.
2. Connect your modem out cable to the WAN port on your router.
3. Congfigure your router -> Enter the DNS IP's, select option to get IP automatically
4. Connect your laptop/PC to your router and you are on.

cheers.

saumil_b · 12-21-07, 05:04 PM

i tried this but cant connect! wen i connect the cable directly, the nets connected but wen i connect it even through a cable to the wifi router, it doesnt connect!!

Admin · 12-21-07, 05:22 PM

If you be a bit more specific and elaborate the problem you are facing a bit may be members here can try and help you.

saumil_b · 12-21-07, 05:25 PM

oK! i connected my router via a cable to the laptop, configured it and put in th dns and all!! all done but still it doesnt get an IP!?? I mean my internet doesnt connect!! At the same time if i connect my laptop directly without the wii router, it connects immediately, which means the net is UP and running! Cant really understand why it isnt connection via the router

Admin · 12-21-07, 05:36 PM

Have you configured the routers dns correctly?

Have you configured the laptops dns to auto? And I hope you are not trying to connect using the routers user name and pass option... with reliance you still have to use the log in client from your PC.

Admin · 12-21-07, 05:45 PM

WOW bluetooth is here... may be he can shed some more light

bluetooth · 12-21-07, 05:53 PM

Hmmm...Can you post the exact steps that you followed ?
Also when you are connected to the router, can you do ipconfig /all on your command prompt and post what you are getting there ?

You said earlier that your connection worked once or twice before, so either your configuration is now wrong or your router has stopped working/has problems or reliance has started to block your router.

You have to eliminate the first 2 possibilities before concluding the 3rd :-)

I am writing this, connected by wi-fi. It still works :-)
cheers.

saumil_b · 12-21-07, 08:21 PM

tried the same thing again and it worked! Thanks Guys anyways!

Admin · 12-21-07, 10:09 PM

Looks like you just needed a bit of bluetooth touch there

Good to know that your problem is sorted now
