How to Configure BSNL Broadband Modem and Router for WiFi and WLan

If you are using BSNL Broadband service you might be thinking to convert it into a full fledged Wi-Fi network at your home or office? As you know there are different kinds of problem faced when we try changing configuration of our modem or changing settings from Network Connections.

Here i am with few simple steps which will allow you to configure ADSL Router/Modem to enable Wifi/WLAN. However you must have modems which are enabled with WiFi; currently ADSL WiFi 2 or Type W1/W2, ADSL WiFi-TA or Type -- WT and VDSL WiFi or Type VD modems from BSNL provide Wi-Fi access.

Follow the steps mentioned below to start the WiFi service at your home or office through BSNL broadband service.

Step 1: Click on Start Button, Select Control Panel, Choose Network Connection to check your current settings for Internet.

Step 2: Now double click on the Local Area Connection and Click on Properties Tab in the dialogue box.

Step 3: In properties, choose general tab and scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) menu and select it, click on properties button below and you will see a new dialogue box with title Internet Protocol Properties.

Step 4: Make sure that general tab is displayed in the new dialogue box; Click on the Use the Following IP Address radio button. Enter following IP Addresses in the given forms:

IP Address: 192.168.1.3 (Please avoid 192.168.1.1 or .2 or any number after .35)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (Is filled automatically indeed)

Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (This is default IP Address for BSNL)

This step was mentioned so that you can access your Modem/Router by entering 192.168.1.1 in your browsers address bar.

However you can also use the following DNS Server address in order to increase your BSNL Broadband’s speed.

Preferred DNS Server Address: 218.248.220.46

Secondary DNS Server Address: 218.248.220.69

Step 5: Copy and Paste or Click on 192.168.1.1 to access your modem or routers basic configuration.

Step 6: Use following username and password so that you can enter inside the Graphic Interface of ADSL Modem. Username: admin Password: admin

Step 7: Click on the Advanced Setup after the User Interface loads fully; click on the Edit button over PPPoE Service.

Step 8: Do not change the ATM PVC Configuration, click on the next button to proceed.

Step 9: Change the connection type so that you can choose PPP over Ethernet and click on the next button.

Step 10: Enter your Broadband Username and Password; enter the service name as you wish (Dataone or BSNL will be good). Hint: Broadband username usually contains your BSNL phone number while password is password only.

Step 11: Now you don’t have to change anything in the modem/router configuration, please press next or save whatever button is there.

How to Secure your WiFi connection with Password:

Step 12: Goto Wireless tab on the left side and click on it.

Step 13: Choose Security option and set network authentication to Open; Enable WEP encryption and current network key to 1 (can be anything); Fill network key 1 as a strong password for your WiFi Lan.

Step 14: Save your setting and reboot the modem/router so that all the settings can become effective.

Done Done Done…. You are done with your Modem.

BT and Everything Everywhere will start LTE trial in rural UK this September

Some of the UK's most remote parts still don't have access to broadband of any kind, but later this year, they might have the sort that makes us look on in envy. BT and Everything Everywhere are planning to start an LTE trial in Cornwall, England's most southerly county, which will last from the 1st of September through to the end of December. Connection speeds could scale as high as 40Mbps, though the typical rate is expected to be closer to 10Mbps. Volunteers are now being sought to participate in the trial, though they have to reside (or be willing to move, we presume) in the pretty tiny 4G coverage area near Newquay. BT and T-MOrange have been allowed a temporary slice of 800MHz spectrum to do their experimenting in, which will likely be up for grabs in the LTE spectrum auction that's set for next year. First we take Newquay, then we take the world.

NC governor will let cable-backed bill restricting municipal broadband become law

We've repeatedly hammered Time Warner Cable (and its big-cable cronies) for crying to the North Carolina legislature about municipal broadband. TWC claims it can't compete with taxpayer-backed ISPs such as Wilson, NC's Greenlight -- and that it shouldn't have to. In fact, Greenlight and four other municipal providers came about specifically because corporate players refused to provide inexpensive, fast broadband. And now that local governments have proven they can provide it, the cable companies have cried foul, pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into select political pockets all the while. That's the drama so far, and now a bill restricting municipal broadband -- mandating that providers pay taxes similar to private companies, for example -- has landed on the desk of Governor Bev Perdue. She won't veto the bill, meaning it will soon become a law; for whatever it's worth (read: not much), she also refuses to sign it. The reason? Here it is from the horse's mouth:

I will neither sign nor veto this bill. Instead, I call on the General Assembly to revisit this issue and adopt rules that not only promote fairness but also allow for the greatest number of high quality and affordable broadband options for consumers.

The legislation strikes a blow against public ISPs in a country that ranks ninth in the world for broadband adoption and download speeds. And that, apparently, is what "fair competition" looks like in the US.

US lags in broadband adoption and download speeds, still has the best rappers

U, S, A! We're number nine! Wait, nine? At least according to a recent broadband survey by the FCC, yes. The good ol' US of A ranked ninth (out of the 29 member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) in fixed broadband penetration on a per capita basis, and 12th in terms of pure percentage -- behind the UK, South Korea, Iceland, the Netherlands, and plenty of others. Though, granted, these nations lack the sprawling amber waves of grain that America must traverse with cables. The US also trailed in wireless broadband adoption, ranking ninth yet again, behind the likes of Ireland, Australia and Sweden. Worse still, even those with broadband reported slower connections than folks in other countries. Olympia, Washington had the highest average download speeds of any US city with 21Mbps (New York and Seattle tied for second with 11.7Mbps), but was easily topped by Helsinki, Paris, Berlin, and Seoul (35.8Mbps). Well, at least we beat Slovenia... if only just barely.

AT&T demos speedy LTE, calls 28.8Mbps downloads realistic for real people

GigaOM got to peek inside inside AT&T's Foundry innovation center in Texas this week, and the tour came with a special treat -- a first glimpse at how AT&T's upcoming LTE network might perform when the carrier flips the switch later this year. Where Verizon's existing network promises download speeds of between 5 and 12 megabits per second (though we've gotten far better and worse in practice), the publication witnessed a connection with 28.87Mbps download and 10.4Mbps upload speeds, using a MIMO antenna passing bits through both 700MHz and AWS frequencies. "But," you protest, "isn't LTE capable of more?" Sure, but an AT&T executive told the publication that these were meant to be real-world numbers. Still, considering all the factors and where the test was held, it's probably best to break out the table salt for now.

Chromebooks get 3G connectivity via Three UK (update)

Long before Google outed Samsung's Series 5 and Acer's Chromebook, we'd already heard that Verizon would provide unlimited 3G coverage to the Internet giant's netbooks, but our friends across the Atlantic still didn't have a data carrier until yesterday. We don't have a lot in the way of details for now, but Three UK has stepped forward as the Chromebooks' carrier of choice for 3G data in the United Kingdom. The company is decidedly tight-lipped otherwise, but says they'll have more details in the "next few weeks."

Update: Well, it looks like Three has already let the cat out of the bag on this one. According to the UK's Chrome OS site, British Chromebook users will receive a free SIM card, offering 3GB of 3G coverage for three months -- see what they did there? After that, users can choose to go contract-free with a number of different pay-as-you-go plans that range from a 500MB day pass for £3 to a 7GB one-month pass for £25. More details can be found at the Chrome link below.
