Thread: Connecting Tikona from WiFi mobile

Hi,

I have MTNL Triband and planning to switch to Tikona 150 KBPS unlimited plan. I have a WiFi enabled cell, i asked their demo ppl if i could connect my cell as well. Looks like they didn't have much idea on it. They mentioned that there is a dialler software that needs to be installed to which we connect, but there is a web login as well. If there is a weblogin i would think that connecting thru mobile should be possible, but don't know for sure. I don't think they have a dialler software for cell.

Has anyone tried connecting WiFi enabled cell with Tikona? If yes, pl let me know how.

TIA.

If you don't have a problem with Triband then I suggest you stick with it and attach a wifi router to modem if required. Moreover unlimited plans from MTNL are pretty competitive today (MTNL have launched some new unlimited plans this december).

Web based dialers many a times have issues while using multiple PCs on same connection and compatibility issue sometimes. I have had some difficult experience with web based dialer in the past when I used cable internet.

Web based dialer for mobile (I guess you mean windows mobile), well that would most likely will not be available soon.

I too was considering Tikona but found my existing Triband with wifi router is a better no-nonsense fit.

Hope this helps.

even i asked the company for a mobile sofrware. they have promised me that a dialler is being produced for symbian, blackberry n windows mobile which is a good news

they told me in plain words 'We do not support wi-fi phones'

Clarification: I experienced Tikona in action at a friends place, he is using Windows Vista on laptop. He keeps tweaking the placement of the Ruckus Box to get a better signal, otherwise no problem with software on his PC. Plan subscribed FUL599 @ Bhandup. He was told by the sales rep that multiple PCs can be used after informing the call center so that the ID is configured for additional MAC addresses.

I tried on my mobile... But it is not working on mobile... May be they are working on it...

Tikona does not support wi-fi phone's but there's a work around:
Connect the router provided by tikona to you computer/laptop using the cat5 cable.
Now, create an ad-hoc wireless connection on the pc/laptop, this will enable you to start your wi-fi phone.
The only catch here is that your pc/laptop has to be turned on all the time.

@aasheeshl
Great!

1. Hope , just setting up wifi connection in laptop
will give WIFI connectivity to Your Phone.
I think, you have to enable WIFI mode in the modem/router ( Rufus) also.
Please correct me.
Tikona==>Rj45==>Laptop on Lan mode.
( wireless signals will be picked up by Phone ?
or any other laptop also? )
2.
If you can access the modem/router settings
of TIKONA ( Rufus Mt2211?) and make the changes suggested by you, and post it here.
You will get 13 reputation points from me !
IP address to access modem say 192.xx.xx.xx
User ID
Password.
Step by step instructions for wifi mode. etc.
3..
I use Airtel/BSNL BB service at 2 Mbps speed .
UPDATE:

Tikona does not support wi-fi phone's but there's a work around

That passkey is not working anymore. It says authentication failed. Tikona suxx

Zombie,
Workaround in connecting to TDN-Home is identifying the network. but it is saying incorrect password. can some one give details on how to connect mobile on to Tikona Wifi?
there were two suggestions. none is having clarity
1. Creating Wireless network after connecting through a desktop or laptop
2. Trying to connect hidden Network called TDN-Home. but where to find the password?

search using tikonawifi in hidden network. Then network key = your password. and in advanced fill in the details user id and password. then connect. it will get connected.

but after getting connected. the login button will not get clicked that is the problem i am facing on tikona login page

looks like tikona has changed their wi-fi network
new datails
network name: tikonawifi
authentification type: WPA2 enterprise[AES](EAP_MSCHAP-v2)
username : ur tikona username
password: ur tikona password
worked on my blackberry 9000
doubt if it will work on symbian or android.... they rarely support WPA2 enterprise
good luck people

for windows...
just go to network and sharing center in control panel...

1. First bye a Netgear wireless router and connect with the lan cable .

2. now configure ur wireless router and make it security anable.

3. now connect ur system or mobile with the router using wifi and make it as home network from ur windows system.

4. when u connected in ur browser address bar type this address 1.254.254.254
it will redirect to ur login page. then u login using ur username and password.

5. now u can connect ur wifi mobile and other pc with ur netgear wirless router and browse internet. no need to login each device.

6. u can also login from ur wifi mobile which is connect to the netgear router. go to ur mobile web browser and go to 1.254.254.254
aftercomming the login page u can login using ur user name and password.
