Problems configuring Linksys Wireless router WRT54G with Tata Indicom broadband

[gprasad]

Hi, I am unable to configure my Linksys wireless router with the Tata Indicom broadband modem. I have the 256 Infinity plan and as far as I know it is a DSL connection. The internet works fine when I plug the tata indicom broadband connection straight to my laptop, but the minute I try and use wireless it cant connect. I have been allocated a static IP by Tata which is configured on their modem but my laptop continues to have DHCP. Please advise

Hi I dont have a problem accessing the routers homepage to setup the info, the problem is what info do i use? Tata has given me a static IP, should i be using that or should i leave the setting as DHCP in the Linksys router to be able to use the wireless. When I use the wireless my connection state shows local access. laptop to linksys connection is fine, linksys to tata modem is not working hence no internet.

i have same Linksys but bsnl dynamic ip with ethernet adsl modem. i had to switch the modem to bridge mode and do pppoe dialling from linksys. you might need to disable dhcp in the modem by first connecting to you pc and allow it to provide the external static ip to local connection. then connect linksys and enter static ip there as well.what model modem do you have for tata that info might help

@kitty7.
Welcome to BroadbandForum.
Have you tried suggestion by Vishalrao ?
seems problem with IP allocation. Check the DSL status in your modem.

Manual from here
Linksys WRT54GC Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router owners manual download

Hi. I do not know how to convert modem to bridge...tried going the ppoe route without this step, again no luck. im completely confused...i had configured hathway in the past which also was on static ip...that worked with zero issues Do u think i should reset my dsl router and configure the static only on my Linksys modem???

@kitty7.
What is the modem you are using ?
see this web site and select your modem.
BROADBAND MAIN MENU

1. set your modem to "AlwaysOn" PPPoEmode.Get connected to Internet.
2. Now change the setting to Bridge mode. (User ID/password page won't appear)
3. Use the Dialer to enter your ID and password to connect to Internet.
4. If you are successful, then enable DHCP in the modem.
5. Program Linksys in automatic mode.

go to tinypics.com. In search type DATAONE. I have posted number of screen shots there for reference.

Hi my modem is given by tata indicom . ADSL one, by Xavi. X7721r+

It is vieable on Xavi Tripleplay Express in product search. It is under the product line "obsolete products"

i have no probs with my WRT54G , but i don't have a static IP (prepaid plan). try the setting of static ip option on WRT54G as the post above mentions.

 

[kitty7]

I have tried it all... entering static ip, trying as dhcp. is there mac id binding happening in tata indicom??? The mac id in my normal router (not the Linksys) settings is set as the mac id mentioned on the router (not on my laptop)

 

[kitty7]

solved it...1. first configure Linksys wireless security settings (do not touch any other setting) - wep security etc by connecting the tata indicom router to the "internet" port on linksys2. next remove the connections, and connect the tata indicom router into a LAN port (any of the four) on linksys, 3. connect using wep key on pc... it shud work...

Hi Kitty,Congratulations on completing this highly difficulty task.For last 2 days I am struggling to achive the same, with Tataindicom Cable broadband (w/o modem) and Linksys WRT54G. Tried all the options suggested in this informative thread, but no luck so far. Getting either authentication failure error or can't obtain IP error.I would really appreciate, if u care some more details on exact configuration changes done and steps to configure the internet connection successfully.Thanks a lot in advance.Nagaraj

@nagaraja_upadyaya In your Linksys router, you will find two types of ports. Internet Port (single)4 Ports numbered 1-4. As per manual, it says connect to the single port from the Tata Indicom router, but you need to connect from Tata Indicom router to one of the 4 ports. Try logging in now... For setting the WEP Key etc. connect to the single port and configure.
