    WOW kool, You are able to connect to the net even after CPE LAN cable is connected to WAN port of ur D-Link router?

    Can you please provide me with the D-Link Router's WAN settings?

    Thanks in advance,

    Default @ bluetooth

    Reliance person told it is Wi-Max for sure.

    But does it make any difference? I think it won't, as for every connection, whether it is Cable/ADSL/Wi-Max, IP address gets allocated through DHCP and authentication method is also same(the reliancebroadband.co.in page login)

    I am not sure how you dont have a modem. It could be cable broadband.

    You will have to buy a wireless router which supports your connection type. Some routers support both cable & DSL/ADSL. Some support only one of them.

    cheers.

    Thanks Admin and Bluetooth for taking interest in my problem.

    I made an enquiry regarding Netgear wireless router. 54mbps is available for arnd 1800/- in Pune. What is the speed of your one? Is it still available? I have even checked online shops on ebay.in, etc.. Price is around 1800/-..

    Default Configuring Belkin Wireless Router

    Hello

    I have just got a Reliance Wimax Connection here at Bangalore. My apartment is in Whitefield, Bangalore. As Reliance has a tower near ITPL; I have not encountered any problems with the connection so far and the connection is very fast.

    The problem is configuring my Belkin Wireless router to this Wimax connection. I had gone through the other thread and tried to follow the instructions given for configuring the wireless router for D LINK, Linksys and Net Gear routers; but did not get any success. I gave the Dynamic IP address for the WAN connection and hard coded the DNS servers. I found four DNS servers when I gave Ipconfig/all for the connection. However, there was only provision to provide two in the router settings. I gave the first two and later on tried different permutations and combinations but to no avail.

    I appreciate if anyone can help me in this regard.

    Post Reliance Wi-max and wireless home network

    Hi everyone, i've been using the reliance wimax conneciton for the last 4 months now. (The one with the antenna at the roof pointing towards a reliance tower)

    I have 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 pda and 1 Sony PSP what i use to connect to internet at various time.

    I use a Linksys WRT54G wireless router cum access point which is connected to the relaince modem/power sullpy to the antenna.

    My Desktop is wired to the router via lan cable, the other 3 devices use wi-fi to connect to the net wirelessly.

    Normally, my laptop is always on and conneted to the net over wi-fi.. i do tons of torrent downloads. and over the last 4 mnths have downlaoded over 100 gb of stuff.

    Some of my experiences with reliance are:

    Good:
    1. The speed is very good and consistently high through out the day.
    2. Many time i experience speeds greater than my plan speeds. (I have a 300kbps unlimited plan)
    3. Most of the ports are unblocked and downloading is an absolute joy.

    Bad:
    1. Customer service feels quite incompetent and is more or less useless. No toll free number to call from other than reliance phone and cost money without resolution.
    2. Tech suport is not instant, people normally try to reach u the next day.
    (most of the time, i have received a call back within 24 hrs, others experiences may vary)
    3. The extremely anoying login page.
    4. Many times, u lose IP, which results in you not being able to connect to the internet. This is because their DHCP is unable to assin an IP to my router. Happens may be once a month to me, and usually fixes it self automatically or after a phone call , normally withing 24 hrs. but , if u're not home, since u can't log in , u can download anything any ways,.

    My biggest ise has been losing the IP. however this happens infrequently now. I probably call customer service once a month.


    Abt the wireless setup, i do not have a static IP, so, in my wireless router setup (Router has been provided by reliance), u need to select conenction type as "Automatic - DHCP" and the router sets up net automatically.

    I've not had problems with my router blocking , the router is a normally available pupular linksys model.

    I have a suggesiton though, The reliance conenction, once you've logged in, assigns the IP to your router's/desktop's lan/laptop's LAN MAC Address.

    What this means is that, lest say, u connect the lan cable to ur laptop and log in to the reliance website. once you're authenticated, u are able to browse. Now, If you remove that lan cable and plug it into lets say to another computer , then you will not be able to browse any more as the "MAC ID" of the system to which the I was assiged has changed.

    You would need to disconnect for abt 20 mins let the session expire and then conenct it to a different computer.

    so, lets say, if u conenct it to ur laptop and internet work, if u immediately remove it and connect it to you router, net will not work. U ahve to power off everything for a lil over 20 mins- 30 mins and then power it on. It should then give an IP to ur router and u can use multiple systems via teh router.

    I personally do not think they block routers, however, if u feel they do, many router offer teh ability to clone the MAC ID of your cjoice, so, u can clone the MAC ID of you pc on your router and check if it then works.


    Though bit long ... I hope it was helpful to a few people.

    They charge 100 bucks + 12.5% servcie tax to the regular monthly bill.... when i took it i had enquired about an outright purchase, and i was informed that they did not have that scheme available. I'm planning to retunr it and buy my own in a couple of months though.

    Hi, There are different guys depending on which area u live in. Try calling the people who installed it for you and they will tell u. However, a better idea is to contact rel cust service or a sales agent and tell them u wnat a router. You have to pay a charge of Rs 500 and then they come and install it.

    regards..

    ALthough, i would advise you to go and buy the router from SP road or any computer shop. The one I use is available for abt Rs 2500 in bangalore. The reason i suggest this is because it is a good router, and lets say you choose a different servcie provider in future, you wont have to redo the network setup at home. (assuming if the pathetic customer servcie and hopeless reliance people you may have to intereact with in future)

    regards...

    Hi, are u looking at wireless connections or wired connection or a mix ?
    are all these laptops or desktops? or a combination of both?

    Depending on that the easiest way would be to buy either a wireless router or a regular router with 6 lan ports.

    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.

    Hi,

    Assuming you have a reliance wimax conneciton and you DO NOT have a static IP an d you've connected and wired everything--
    1. On the router setup page - use conneciton type "Automatic - DHCP"
    (you cna access teh router page by going to: http://192.168.1.1 (or as mentioned in ur manual) (user name and password are also emntioned in the manual)

    2. Save the settings. To access internet, that is all you need to do.

    3. If you need to use a torrent application then you need to go to "application and games" and forward ports there.

    let me know if this helped.

    Default WRT54G2 with Reliance Broadnet

    I have a linksys router and dont have any problems connecting the same, I have a wired connection from the router and use the wifi for the other 2 laptops and it works without any problems.

    The thing to note for those who are thinking that reliance has blocked there router is to set the router IP to 192.168.10.1 instead of 192.168.1.1 this might help.

    Also make sure you logout your reliance session before attempting to setup the connection with your router otherwise it might lock you out for couple of hrs due to detection of another MAC address.

    Thumbs up ADSL Configuration

    Hi

    I do agree with all of you that the reliance response is pathetic and after talking to them you feel like banging your head in the wall.

    Well the reliance UTStar modem has a IP 192.168.1.1. So basically u need to give ur Pc an IP 192.168.1.2 and connect. Username admin and P/w utstar.

    The entire configuration is visible.

    Reliance fellows kindly note and reduce your incompetencies by learning from this forum

    Cheers

    Anyway coming back to your question of configuration, heres how -

    1. Start your ADSL modem. Dont connect the ethernet cable to the router yet.
    Wait for the WAN & PPOE indicator to glow on the modem.
    2. Connect the cable from the modem to the WAN port on the router.
    3. Turn on wifi on the laptop/PC.
    4. If its XP, then it will automatically detect the router or you can manually detect the router as well.
    5. The router will start a wizard (first time setup) for the type of connection to be used etc. I could not make the connection work that way, so go for the manual mode for configuration. You will find the instructions in the router user guide on how to do that. Enter the information there. Basically all you need is the DNS address of Reliance. Enter that information and save.
    6. Ensure your PC/Laptop is setup for dynamic IP (DHCP).
    7. And you are on.

    Key thing is - The netgear wizard doesn't seem to work and you have to have the DNS info. I cant remember if I called customer care for that though....

    Hope this helps !

    Good Luck !

    cheers.
    This worked! thanks!

    Glad to help !

    Hi Shweta,

    In case of WRT54G2, just insert the CD which comes with the router and follow the instructions. The wizard (when you run the CD) does everything.

    I bought this router literrally 7 days ago, hence I know :-)

    You can post your issues here.

    cheers.
