Hi,
I have been a MTNL BB user since 2004 and currently am on DSL_ULTD_888 plan. Now due to various problems (https://broadband.forum/mtnl-broadband/56922-frequent-disconnection-adsl-blinking-issue/21/#post542606) in getting stable connection on wired network, I am thinking of going Wifi way. Let me explain why?
I have my Desktop in my bedroom and the telephone line comes in thru hall->kitchen->bedroom and there is splitted in my br from which one line goes to my ADSL (using T-KD modem) and the other from BR to Hall where my phone line is kept. The entire wire line is concealled via those plastic strips and not inside any wall. Now, currently I am facing problem of constant disconnection and the lineman obviously says it is your problem, line wire must have got cut somewhere and since the wire is concealled they have to rip open the plastic strips to see which will obviously spoil the wall paint etc. Plus they will again ask for money to install new wires.
So I thought, let me keep go for Wifi modem from MTNL, which will remain in my Hall via a wire from MTNL thereby limiting how much line breakage can happen over a period of time and then using a Wifi Card in my Desktop, connect to it. Now my questions:
1. Do you guys see by exp. any problems in this setup? Electrical equipment disturbance? Connectivity Issue?
2. Will I get lower speeds than Wired ones?
3. My flat is 800 sq ft so will Wifi card in BR be able to connect to Wifi modem/router?
4. Which modem/router from MTNL and which Wifi Addone card should I go for? Any recommendations?
5. I run linux, any tips on configuration and security?
6. Anything else you might want to share from those using Wifi Modem/Router from MTNL BB?
Thanks for the help.
Regards.
