Cannot enable WiFi with Huwaei WA-1003A & Vonage VDV21-VD

[ASquared]

Hello,

I have BSNL broadband with Huawei Modem: Model WA-1003A and a Vonage Adapter Model: VDV21-VD. Currently I can browse internet 24/7 and can make calls as well. Now I want to enable the Huawei modem / router for WiFi. I started out by following the steps on calcuttatelephones.com (Quidway WA-1003A ADSL MODEM MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION), but stopped as I couldn't get pass the first step of getting to the modem settings page. I enter the Default Gateway address in IE and Firefox, but it dosent open. I have Windows Vista Home. Can anyone please advise as to how I should go about enabling WiFi on my system?

essbebe: For the present try WIfi connection for laptop. VPI/VCI 0 and 35 for bsnl.use opendns 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222Present DNS entries click advanced and enter in WIns Next page. Or note it down . Not needed ( only as backup ). usually one VPI/VCI is selected. I am not sure whether you can have two settings for same VPI/VCI one " Bridged" and another "PPP/PPPoE mode. So you have to select PPP/PPPoE "Always On" and enter in modem your user Id ( without @ bsnl.in ) etc. see additional link with screen shots. given in thread. Whether you connect the modem or not your laptop will show connected >Show all wireless connections.You may see the anme you had given for your wifi and othewr secured/unsecured wifi connections , if in range.feedback.[/__________________________________________________________________I had tried it earlier with thoses DNS addresses. I also forgot to say the WiFi connection was formed AFTER I manually added my laptop's MAC address under Access list in modem settings. Also I had already made thoses settings that you mentined in last post.I need to find a way to make the DHCP Server and DNS Server different from each other as they are identical right now [192.168.1]If I change the Start IP in DHCP Configuration [Modem Settings] only the IP Adderess changes.I still cannot browse internet.Please advise.

It didnt work so I restored default settings.What should be the modem type for Wifi?GDMTADSL ADSL PluusMModeMMode (Except T1.413)

 

[essbebe]

(G)Confirm (A) and (B) OK. (H) (c) was tried. (I) no data. (Blank) (J)WA1003A is itself a wif router. h t t p://mydataone.net/router/wa1003a.html (K)You can get an adsl modem type 1 without WIFI ( Ut300r2u etc ) from BSNl on rental of Rs 40/PM or outright purchase for Rs 1000/= + 10%taxes

It does not connect in WiFi mode until my laptops MAC address is added as an access point. After restoring modem settings my Vonage device is also not working.I will try some other settings tomorrow.Any steps to start from fresh to connect wWiFi and Vonage together?

[ASquared]
