Yes, Enjoy the free speed while you have it. I guess you changed your plan from one with 2mbps to 512kbps and they forgot to change your port connection speed.

It happened to me, a bit differently, I recently changed to a 4mbps plan from a 2mbps plan, but still I was stuck on 1.5-1.8mbps. The customer service would not register my complaints regarding speed. They insisted that my house is far from the exchange hence cannot get full 4mbps speed. One even commented that I was lucky to get whatever speed I was getting.

After numerous attempts, i decided to go to the exchange to fight, but i was pleasantly surprised, the SDE of the exchange, personally called up some number and asked to check the port speed of my connection, indeed it was at 2mbps, they promptly changed it to 4mbps and, now I get 3.5-3.8mbps. It seems plan change happens at the exchange, whereas speed is set from a different location.

You can check the port speed, once you log in to the modem administration page.

Cheers!

I am using bsnl internet and the speed is hardly 128kbps while my connection is supposed to be 2mbps. Surprisingly at office I get upto 512kbps easily.

Can someone help me reconfigure my router (Chinese cheap absurdity named Huawei WA 1003 A) and my pc wireless cards?

I am running windows 7 on both my pc's.

I've bought a new DNA-A213 ADSL WIFI Modem/Router from Ebay for 1190/ BSNL is charging 1600/ for Type II (Wifi). I don't want to go to exchange to get it configured as they are not prompt in these tweaks and I would like to do it myself.

Can any one give a step by step BSNL ADSL modem configure procedure

Actual configuration depends on the modem make. But some generic parameters for BSNL are given below. Modem will ask for configuration once you click on "New Connection" from modem page
1) Login to modem page at http://192.168.1.1
2) Give modem username password as admin/admin or admin/password
3) Go to internet connection settings and take new connection option.
4) Give VPI/VCI - 0/35
5) Select "BRIDGE" if you want to dial the connection from desktop. Select PPPoE if you want to be automatically connected when the modem is switched ON.
6) Give your user name and password.
7) Select "Always On" or "Dial on Demand" depending on your need. First one will connect whenever the modem is switched ON. But the latter one will connect only in case some application request for internet connectivity.

Most of the other settings can be left untouched. Once saved, if everything went well you will get the DSL and Internet LED's on modem lit up. Just give it a try. Post screenshots if you're having issues while configuring.

Did you play around with the default settings on your router? Router settings are usually on 192.168.1.1. If so, try resetting to default - there should be a Factory settings option that you'll have to click under the Router settings page. An easy way to hard reboot or restore default settings on the router is by pressing a small pin on the back of the router for atleast 20 seconds while the router is off/unplugged (there should be a small black hole on the back/side). Or if bsnl has provided you with a CD with the modem, relaunch the setup, try installing and reconfiguring the router again with bsnl's default settings.

Also the speed could vary if the phone cable used from the phone line to the splitter and further to the modem is of inferior quality/damaged. Make sure you do not have any 'leakage' through the wire and the cable is is good condition.

Sometimes you might have to update the wireless card firmware and / or software for up to date performance on Windows 7 machines. Make sure you have the right drivers for the wireless cards and you're not running generic drivers instead.

Make sure you're home PC is free of any virus/trojan. There are remote chances that this might be affecting your internet speeds, but you can never say for sure. ESET NOD32 is a good AV solution that you can try - its lightweight, doesn't hog on your PC memory and does its job quite well.

Try these out - if there's no visible change in the speed, you can always use a remote desktop software and grant someone access to your pc who can try and fix it remotely.

PM me if you think you need more help.

That sounds like a good buy. Do let us now about the performance, once you get it working. Any idea about the manufacturer?

I am running 7 on an old laptop with a Broadcom 4306 (the most troublesome card I know of). Due to lack of 7 drivers, it is running on microsoft ones.

The router has not been touched yet and is running on default settings only. A new quality wire has just been installed so that is not the issue. Let me go home and I will put up the page that comes in front of me when I get into settings.

Thanks mate! The price makes it attractive, but I'm wondering how this seller is selling MTNL branded modems. AFAIK, they are supposed to be available with MTNL only.

Did you manage to get it to work?

Hi All

I have upgraded to BSNL 750 UL home combo plan recently from BBG FN 500

For connecting i am using the following hardware :

UT starcom modem (from my previous provider) along with netgear router.


The problem is I am getting max speed of 28-30 kbps at time of downloading which I think is quite less.

Can anyone help me in resolving the issue ?
