Unable to connect thru Netgear ...

Hi ...

I am connected to Dataone through UT300R2 ADSL modem, having set its ip as 192.168.1.2
Win XP OS

I have a Netgear WGR 614 Wireless Router ip 192.168.1.1, But I am not able to connect to it. Could any one guide me as to what settings I should use?

Thank you

So, Here is my Step-By-Step guide to configuring a Wi-Fi network with BSNL DataOne. NetGear comes with a wizard that never works with BSNL broadband connected via HUAWEI SmartAX 880. follow these steps.

NetGear WGR614v5



you have to configure the NetGear Router to talk to the modem.



Keep your modem, wireless router and your username and password from BSNL handy before you proceed to the next step.



If you want to change your existing configuration, take a backup of your configuration. This guide is to build your network from the ground-up.

Configuring the Wireless Router and enabling the WPA security

· Connect the network cable from the NetGear wireless router to the machine.



· Open the IP Properties of your Network card and Enable DHCP. Select the following on the IP properites dialog.

Obtain IP Address Automatically

Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically



· Open the browser and type 192.168.1.1/basicsetting.htm



· Enter ‘admin’ as username and ‘password’ as the password



· Click on Wireless Settings link on the navigation pane and configure with the following values



Wireless Network

Name (SSID) - <YourSSID>

Region – Asia

Channel – 11

Mode – g and b

Security Options

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

Security Encryption (WEP)

Authentication Type – Automatic

Encryption Strength – 64bit

Security Encryption (WEP) Key

Passphrase - <YourPassphrase>

&#183; Click on Generate



&#183; Record the value of Key1 – This is required when you log on to your Wi-Fi network the first time.



&#183; Click on Apply and wait till the router reboots

(Wireless will not be enabled till you complete the next step)



&#183; Click on the Basic Settings link on the left side navigation pane and configure the following



Does your Internet connection require a login? – No

Account Name – blank

Domain Name – blank

Internet IP Address

Use Static IP Address

IP Address – 192.168.1.91

IP Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0

Gateway IP Address – 192.168.1.90

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address

Use These DNS Servers

Primary DNS – 61.1.96.69

Secondary DNS – 61.1.96.71

Router MAC Address

Use Default Address

&#183; Click on Apply and wait till the router restarts



&#183; Connect the Network Cable coming from the ADSL Modem to the Wireless Router





Few things to remember –

&#183; Don’t connect the ADSL Lan Cable to the Internet Uplink port of the Wireless Router. It never worked for me. Always connect it to one of the 4 ports excluding the designated Internet port.



&#183; IP Addresses can be anything of your choice. But it is a good idea to follow the 192.168.x.x convention



&#183; If you get lost any time, feel free to reset the configuration by poking a pin into the reset slot on the modem and the router.



&#183; Don’t compromise on the security. Always enable WPA and save your key. Don’t let your friendly neighbors ride on your network!
