India Broadband

Hello All,

I am using TATA WM BB (256Kbps unlimited postpaid) for last one week in bangalore. I did bit of searching before choosing my ISP. Most of the forums suggested me not to get TATA. But, only very few posts supported to buy. Later I found that, it is the case with all other ISPs. So, I registered for TATA and got connection in 3 days although they said about 15 days. So, far the connection is good with out any server down. Regarding the download speed, sometimes I used to get >30 KB. I think it all depends on your signal strength and signal strength is around 23.

I would like to request the existing TATA postpaid subscribers to provide me the default user name and password for router configuration web interface. Please let me know if you know the details. I tried with admin but no use.

Thanks and Regards,
Bala

Usually it is admin/admin for most routers. But WiMax routers may be different. What router do you have?

Its the default one supplied by TATA.
StarMAX 2150


PowerDsine - PD-3001 PPPOE

Thanks.

hello,

How can I manage the StarMAX 2150 subscribers station? Do we have a telnet login or any management (either GUI app or HTML based GUI) software to login to the subscribers station and test the performance and signal strengh?

Thanks and Regards
Ananth

You can use support/support to login.

hi Bala,

I am planning on taking tata wimax in bangalore and was told that they dont have the wireless router and i hv to buy it myself. Could you tell me where did u get ur router from?

thanks,
Bhavna

VSNL may be the first to test wimax but my experience has been very bad ,

The starmax device used for this service has gone through many bugs in its software. They claim the latest release a M version is a stable one , I dont think so .

When the Signal is good its speed as good as wireline .

VSNL / TATA call centre and complaint mgmt process is pathetic , you have wait for 16 mins to talk to agent

The field team is not capable to troubleshoot the issues effectively

I have tried using it for past one month , it worked well for 1 day till now , the field team has come to my place 3 times , no resolution yet ,

In all if you want to try Wimax from VSNl , take a chance on your luck & fate is in God's Hands!!

Take a postpaid connection , they dont attend well to prepaid customers

They dont provide a recipet for connection payment unless you demand , so I doubt they are doing some fishy bussiness . I have not got one yet , The sales person doesnot attend your call after he takes the sale from you,

ALL Together VSNL / TATA Wimax is not yet a stable matured service in market , Ask them a wireline solution & if you are in Banglore there is no option for it , so better solution is a Airtel Broadband ,

Hi,

I have not buy anything other than provided by Tata. Starmax is the one provided by them. For the past two days, my internet connection is not upto the mark. Looking the better speed in few days.

Thanks and Regards,

hi usually the Starmax SS has a mgmt Ip

Put 192.168.1.10/24 on you PC ethernrt

telnet 192.168.1.1

there are many usernames admin/admin support/support

But the one u can use to configure is root/telsimawl . You can try to add BS etc

some commands

configure bs add <freq> <bw> <bsnmae>
ex : configure bs add 3316000 3000 bs1

sh bs - for showing bs status

The values should be be around -23 and 44 with qam16 modulation

sh ip wimax - to see if the ss is recieving DHCP mgmt IP

sh conf -

copy run start

reboot

Thats much I know , Dont try to tweak much as the SS box is a piece of scrap and there is no point playing with it . Just dump Tata connection and look for a wired connection for now , Thats the best that ISPs in India are used to and can troubleshoot rather than with a suckign WIMAX moot !!

Thanks for reply.
I am now trying to configure the router to enable DHCP to share the internet connection.
Need to check whether the router is capable of running dhcp.
I request all of you to share your experiences.

Thanks and Regards,
