bsnl appears to have ftth in very limited regions. fuckers have all the raw material for my area but they have not bothered to lay down the fiber.
i am not sure we have many people who are using bsnl ftth. so it might get igored. or not!

No. ADSL 2+ modem router will not work. Buy a regular standalone router. Budget?

What's the reason? Can't modem be off and only router working? Just curious to know.

You will have to buy a separate standalone router. Later if you get comfortable with BSNL provided FTTH modem, then you can enable bridge mode on it and let your main router do the pppoe connection dialing.

Hi Richie
I posted in another thread "How to connect adsl+Wifi router to Existing BSNL FTTH ONT" started by you.
Pls don't by D-Link, it is not connecting automatically, every time we have go to settings and connect manually. We tried with Cisco & Netgear, both are working.

Wrong. Pl see post of Niva dtd 01.10.204 -

It is very simple. Do the following steps, in order to use your Netgear ADSL2+ Modem + WiFi Router for your FIBRE connection.

1. First switch off your FIBRE modem.
2. Switch on your ADSL2+ ROUTER (NETGEAR or other)
3. Connect your computer through RJ45 network cable from Ethernet 1
(i.e. first port - as number mentioned in your router)
4. then login into - router
(i.e. http://192.168.0.1 or whatever default provided by router company)
5 Go to "Advanced" tab --- connection settings (of your WIFI Router / NETGEAR )
There you can find "LAN Settings"
6. LAN - Disable DHCP Server. (i.e. DHCP Server Off).
7. Save & Exit
8. RJ45 connection CABLE from ONT modem to your NETGEAR -- RJ45 (Ethernet 1 & not other Ethernet ports)

Other WIRELESS settings - same as whatever you have already. Then just restart - your NETGEAR & swtich on your FIBRE.

Your WIFI is enabled.

The method below did it work ?

Hi All,
I had tried the above method with both my TP-Link mr3420 and Netgear router, but didn't work.
is there any way to setup wifi on ftth?

 

[phani]

To all, my wifi router configuration is working fine now. Very simple mistake.
Instead of connecting FTTH modem Ethernet1 connection to my WiFi Router LAN1, I had connected to WAN port.
So, please make sure that you connect Ethernet1 of FTTH modem to LAN1 of your WiFi router.

Thats Not true. I am using D-Link and successfully connected to FTTH as my Wifi Router . For your reference and clarification i have made a video for the same . Please go through it if you need any help in configuring DLink router . No manual intervention needed at all

The method suggested earlier does certainly work. I am using BSNL FTTH since two years. Earlier I had DSL connection with my Linksys modem. After getting FTTH I used the same modem. First make sure that DHCP is enabled in Fibre modem. Then connect the Internet Port from Fibre Modem to your ADSL Router with RJ45 cable to 1st LAN port of your ADSL modem. Make sure you disable DHCP on your ADSL modem. ( In short just make sure that you use it as a router)

I am also attaching the screenshots of my Linksys modem.

Moreover I also have setup a WDS system that a Cheap TP-Link router offers to extend WiFi range. So after setting WDS between my Linksys and TP-Link Router I just have to connect the TP-Link router to power & it starts distributing original WiFi connection. Just like a repeater.
