Thread: Installing Wireless router on Sify

sify does not grant access 2 your router .. the dialer sends the MAC ID so effectively the computer you have used to connect is the one whose MAC id is being sent

so follow the method mentioned above for solving your problem

How does sify broad band connection use in wireless connection in home and how does it work in institutions.

as sify uses MAC address binding
in the WRT54g router you have option to perform mac address cloning
clone the mac address of the client which was used to register and you should be able to connect

im using sify broadband on two laptops(one at a time)..im planning to buy a netgear wgr614 router..ive being browsing this forum for configuring the router.

My doubt is,after connecting the router to sify cable we have to call sify and register the router's mac address,now can i use both the laptops on wifi,bcoz we can register only two mac addresses with sify and here there are three one of the router and other two of the laptop.

U need to register the mac address of the router only with Sify. The rest of the devices are connected to the router right?

hi there.....
i have just now bought the netgear wgr614 wireless router V9. i can not see wher can i enter the static IP given by sify, my ip is 10.21.107.151

in the basic settings it is asking ony IP and DNS, no place for gateway and subnet .........

please help me, i m unable to connet to internet using router

thanx in advance

Update:
see P0ST NO 4 by @admin
====================
the SIFY bb cable is connected
to (a)a cable modem
or (b)adsl modem
(c)direct Rj45 to computer ethernet port ?

You can shift the RJ45 from computer end
and connecting to LAN1 of wifi router.
From LAN2 rj45 to computer again.
Test if OK
Try wifi.

Post this data: in LAN mode or WIFI mode
Start RUN type cmd type ipconfig /all

netgear wgr614 wireless router
Usually it will be the modem's gateway IP
enter sify's static IP here.
DNS usually opendns 208.67.220 .220 and 208.67.222.222
I have the same wifi router details if required.
Beetel110BX==Vonage=== netgear wifi wgr614
192.1681.1 192.168.15.1 192.168.2.1
laptop 192.168.2.2. WIFI mode )

Para three: post in this forum.

I tried connecting the sify cable to one of the LAN ports. Connectivity works only when I set the desktop/laptop IP also the same. In short, the router works as a switch.

thanx for the reply, however, i have found how to connect internet by callinge customer support of NETGEAR......... its been very usefull, they explained in a very good manner.

however thanx again

Presume in SIFY connection a cable modem is used /not used.
RJ45 directly goes to Desktop/laptop.

And I have only one machine i.e. the laptop for internet access. I shall try re installing the software from Sify and see if it works.

thanls a lot for the reply.

As per my knowledge, you can register two MAC address against one connection. otherwise simply use MAC ID changer software.

I am trying to have wifi on sify broadband connection at my home. I have conencted netgear n150 (wgr614 v10) wireless router as per details in this thread. I am not able to ping sify gateway from LAN side. Router is working fine if i connect my laptop on WAN side and PC on LAN side. In this case, PC is able to ping my laptop. But when I connect sify cable to WAN port of router I am not able to ping sify gateway (10.19.100.1). Please help.

Router is working fine if i connect my laptop on WAN side and PC on LAN side.

where the input cable from SIFY is connected ?
Post ipconfig /all when both Desktop and laptop are connected and working.

Para two:
( No DSL modem supplied/used )
If cable modem given mention make/number.

Usual connection for all cable input BB connection/s
Connect Rj45 to WAN port of Wgr614v9
Select DynamicIP Rest auto select.
Lan 1 to desktop:
wifi~~~ all laptops.

Scenario:
internet cable from sify goes in router's WAN port. PC is connected to router's LAN port.
Router gives address 192.169.1.2 to PC. LAN port of router has 192.168.1.1
WAN port of router : static IP - 10.19.100.6, 255.255.255.128, gw=10.19.100.1
ping from PC to router LAN port is OK
ping from PC to router WAN port is OK
Sify gateway is 10.19.100.1 that I need to connect.
ping from PC to 10.19.100.1 (sify gw) is not working (request time out)

I will soon post the output of ipconfig commands.

WAN port of router : static IP - 10.19.100.6, 255.255.255.128, gw=10.19.100.1

No entries select auto selection rest.


WIFI page as usual.

Login as usual in SIFY dialer or in Browser page.

But normally sify has assigned an IP to my PC and I need to give it a static IP. Anyways I will try that.

i have netgear router. i have configured it and feeded mac address of laptop(sify server have registered this mac address).
and it is working fine with the laptop.
i have a desktop pc too. but i am not able to login to sify through desktop.(moreover the login page is also not available on desktop pc)
i have tried to clone the mac of desktop pc,but same problem arises.
so whenever i have to connect to internet,i have to login through laptop.

is there any facility in router that login details are saved and it automatically connects?

i want to use net in both and should be able to login in both pcs
