Frustrated with the Wi-Fi performance of existing Airtel Provided Router Beetel 450TC1, I purchased and installed a D-Link DSL-2750U WiFi router and succeeded in configuring WiFi and LAN access for all my data devices.
I examined all the WAN connections on my old router and updated them in the new D-Link router as shown below:
[font="'courier new'"]================================================================[/font]
[font="'courier new'"]VPI/VCI VLAN ID ENCAP Service Name Protocol State Status [/font]
[font="'courier new'"]================================================================[/font]
[font="'courier new'"]1/35 0 LLC PVC:1/35 Bridge 1 Connected[/font]
[font="'courier new'"]0/35 0 LLC PVC:0/35 Bridge 1 Connected[/font]
[font="'courier new'"]1/32 0 LLC PVC:1/32 PPPoE 1 Connected[/font]
[font="'courier new'"]================================================================[/font]
The problem I am facing is that the IPTV STB is unable to log into the system successfully every time it is turned on. By trial and error I have identified that the STB logs in successfully if I switch on the router & STB at the same time.
I suspect the problem could be with the router. Either it blocks some traffic from the STB required for logging in OR it fails to detect the device (STB) connected to the LAN port.
It would be great if someone can share their experience of making Airtel IPTV work with D-Link DSL-2750U WiFi router in a problem free setup.
Regards.
