Thread: MT841 and Tata Wimax

Hi Guys,
Got my connection today the speeds have been varying dowload between 800 kbps - 512 kbps, the upload speeds has been just between 50-60 kbps.I had one DSL router MT841 provided by BSNL . Wanted to know if anyone has been able to configure this router to act as a WIFI access point using TATA Wimax.

Tata Wimax also gives a static IP which work without authentication, asked for that , with static IP i should be able to configure this ADSL router , lets see its just theory so far.

The other easy option is to buy a netgear wifi router and plug it in but that's Plan B.

Will update how things are working with my present Huwawei MT841 router.

I have Tata Wimax and i also have a static IP but i still need to authentication
Do u have a connection which does not need authentication?

Well looks like i had to settle for Plan B with Netgear Wifi router.

Ask the helpdesk guys to setup your connection without login page . They will do needful for you . One thing you have to learn is to have Tons of Energy and Patientence to deal with these folks.

Happy Wimaxing!!! , what kind of speeds do you get on a typical day i get between 700-800 for downloads and 50-60 or less for Uploads , I have asked to rectify this too.But looks like they have this excuse of uload speeds are 1/4 of the download speeds , lets see what i can do with it.

Actually i don't mind logging in, also i get around 40 to 45 KBps speed download and i am pretty happy with it. had some connectivity issue once or twice but the tech support resolved it over the phone

as you like it , do you mean you are getting 40 to 45 KBps what connection you opted for is it 256 kbps package ? I am on 512kbps.

Ok i was able to configure my existing MT841 ADSL router to connect using Tata Wimax. The trick is after you get your static ip and natting done from Tata Wimax folks , assign a different ip address range to the router something like 10.0.0.1 for adminstration purposes, Since the TATA guys give 192.168.1.1 as the gateway after natting , you cannot assign the same to your Router.

it works saved few bucks by not going for one more wifi access device!!
