The site says: "level 15 access" so what next ?? can't find a manual either , and don't want to use the reset button otherwise the settings done by BSNL will go zilch thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Ok I tried all the suggestions turned Wifi Off and tried just the ethernet - still no progress Turned off encryption Turned of the wifi routers firewll still no connection to the net On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 1:00 PM, Raseel Bhagat wrote: >> >> Nope cannot connect to the net via ethernet cable (through the wifi >> router) > > So basically, your issue is not wifi but basic internet connectivity through > your router. > You need to concentrate on that problem first. > What are your LAN/DHCP settings ? > Agreed i think this is the problem but cannot figure out what The wifi router itself does not have an option to pick up a DHCP ip from the BSNL modem - so i ahve to set it by hand this time i set it at 192.168.1.1 (but this would conflict with the BSNL modem which is also 192.168.1.1) The LAN is set at DHCP but starting from 192.168.1.200 (for five addresses default is 50) Any idea what the default login is for the BSNL modem -its a UTstarcom Eth+USB+ADSL2+router i cannot seem to access this router though am sure the login was admin and pwd was admin - so not sure whats happening now >> so how does one figure which clients have which kind of encryption >> protocol > > If your client does not support WPA2 security mode, it will not be able to > see APs with WPA2 security mode. > It's that simple :-) Simple - nice thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

First see if you are able to connect through a Wired connection using a regular Ethernet cable. If that works, try connecting wirelessly WITHOUT any security. See if you can ping your router atleast. It's after this that you should try the security modes. And my advice would be to go for a WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption, since most clients support this mode. WPA2 and/or AES might not be supported by all Clients.

I used to have a PPPoE on router when I had BSNL and the modem was broken that I couldn't configure it. I prefer the modem to be configured to connect by itself.

[ubuntu-in] Connecting a Wifi router to a BSNL Broadband modem through Ubuntu
Hi Have been trying to connect a Linksys wrt54gl wifi router to a BSNL Broadband modem. Everything seems to be setup but i cannot seem to connect through the wifi setup The following SETUP: Internet used PPoE mode Username and Password as per what us being used Used both the Keep Alive and Connect on Demand mode to keep the connection (none of them worked) In Router Name - gave it a name Network Setup : WiFi Router IP gave it as 10.10.10.1 The LAN network output from the wifi is DHCP starting from 10.10.10.200 with DHCP only for 5 users, and DHCP is enabled ** WIRELESS Setup SSID - gave one of my own Wifi Network Mode - mixed (i.e - both b and g ) Channels - first left it at the default 11, when that did not work used 6 - that too did not work SSID Broadcast - Enabled Wireless Security - enabled WEP2 - personal which runs the TKIP+AES algorithim. Mac filter - disabled ACCESS RESTRICTIONS - default APPLICATION AND GAMING- default ADMINISTRATION: Management: router password enabled Web Access: HTTP - enabled Remote Management - Enabled (since it was not working, i enabled this so that i could figure out what was not working - will disable it later when it begins working ) UPnp - Enabled ADMINISTRATION Log - enabled Diagnostics - Nothing required to be done Factory Default - no change required Firmware Upgrade - Not Yet as soon as i get my hands on the latest / bestest opensource firmware Configuration Management - backed up the Current settings STATUS There is a Connect Disconnect Option so after connecting the broadband router via an ethernet cable i used the connect option - ** all these settings did not work i could not ping the broadband router ip - 192.168.1.1 Under Firefox - i reset use of proxy from Use System proxy (default) to No proxy That too does not work *** So now am not sure what i cannot connect to the internet either through the wifi of through the ethernet (LAN) ports available on the device. The internet connection works (as this mail evidences) What could be wrong. Am wondering if my Ubuntu's firewall would be preventing access to the net -?? Would appreciate help and advise Thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
