HNS was setup and initiated only today. After the technician left, I set up my Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N router. Every now and then, the HNS login page opens up instead of a website. The internet's disconnected at this point, but it starts up again the moment I enter my ID and password.

The Connection Type on "Continuous Connection". Tried with both ON and OFF on "Keep Alive". After almost an hour i need to login again. This shouldn't happen since the PPPoE is setup on the router with these settings.

Any clues as to what could be going on?

Need suggestions for a good Tv within 8k. Brand/type doesn't matter. Only it should long last.

First things first,I got MTNL landline installed in starting of this month just to get prepaid broadband.The installation costed me Rs 1637.

 

Here are the details :

 

Registration & installation charges in case subs is not having landline connection Rs 800/-

 

Initial charges for Wi-Fi modem Rs 800/-

 

Service Charge Rs 37/-

 

You can check it here : http://mtnldelhi.in/broadband/triband_prepaid.htm

 

After installation of wi-fi,I recharged it with coupon PP UL data 449- combo costing Rs 458 for 512 kbps speed unlimited on 5th February.

 

It is properly mentioned that there will not be any charges for modem and taxes as they are cut in the coupon itself.

 

But today I got a SMS saying that "Your bill amounting to INR 343 has been generated". I was surprised because the outgoing connection on my line is not available. I checked online and got the below details :

 

http://i.imgur.com/LdMjcya.png

 

The bill shows Misc.charges for accessories.I tried to call nearby MTNL exchange but no answer from any number out of given numbers.

 

Can anybody tell me what are these accessory charges for ? What to do for correct billing ? Will they bill me every month for the same ? Please help me.

Data Card - MTNL Mumbai

I'd actually already posted on how to use the Dlink 2750u as a full fledged Ethernet WAN router, but it was a few pages deep in a Tikona thread and some users were getting the actual method mixed up with workarounds posted earlier in that thread. 

 

The 2750u is actually capable of both adsl and Ethernet WAN routing. However the Indian firmware only enables the adsl WAN. So one needs to use the Middle East (ME) firmware to enable the Ethernet WAN function (with the ME firmware one can use adsl, ethernet or 3g WAN). Please check the label under your router to identify the specific hardware version and apply the firmware that corresponds to it. Warning: You may brick your router if you apply the wrong firmware. Presently ME firmware is available for C1 and U1 versions. Here are the links

 

ME C1 v1.3

http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/26312555/file.html

 

ME C1 latest

http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/86244007/file.html

 

In the latest firmware, I'm having a problem getting my 3g dongle to work, which is why I've posted both versions. Once the firmware has been changed to the ME type, one can easily switch between versions (of the same hw type) using the software update page and one can choose which version works best for them.

 

ME U1

http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/92256090/file.html

 

Applying the firmware 

 

The firmware may not be accepted in the normal firmware update mode. Then you'll need to update it in the dlink crash recovery mode using a LAN cable (not wirelessly). Assign a static address on the PC for the ethernet interface in the 192.168.1.x series for eg 192.168.1.5

 

Switch router off, press the reset button ie insert ballpoint pen in reset hole under the router, keep holding the reset button and turn on the router. Keep holding the reset button for about 12 seconds after you power on the router. Now you'll see that the power led has turned red signifying that the router is in crash recovery mode. When you enter the address 192.168.1.1 on your PC browser, you find the upgrade firmware page. Just browse to the downloaded firmware file and flash!

 

After the new firmware has been flashed, your internet connection will not start working automatically, you will also need to set up the router correctly. Please do not apply any workarounds mentioned in other threads such as interface grouping, disabling DHCP etc

Instructions for setting up the C1 hw version router

 

Step 1: Log into your router and under Advanced setup->Layer2 interface->ETH interface create an Ethernet interface with connection mode as default. Then go to Advanced setup->WAN Service and add service for eth0/LAN4.

 

Step2: If you have an internet connection with pppoe dialing such as pacenet, Honesty etc, in the next page, choose pppoe and put in username, password and service name in the next page. Also choose to enable NAT. In the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save

 

Step2 (alt): If you have a connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable internet (without pppoe dialer) etc, in the next page choose ip over ethernet, in the next page let the setting remain at Obtain an IP address automatically, in the next page check option to enable NAT, in the next page move eth0 from available to selected gateway interface (if it's not already in selected) and remove ppp0 (if present) from selected, in the next page do the same for DNS and finally apply/save

 

Step3: Then in advanced setup - 3g connection select primary uplink as ethernet.

 

Now connect your internet cable to the LAN port 4 of the router and you should be able to connect through any device connected through wifi or any of the other LAN ports. If you have a connection with a browser login such as Reliance metro or Tikona, the login page will show up only on the first device that you connect in each session. After you have logged in on any device, all other devices will have internet connectivity without going through the login page.

 

Instructions for setting up the U1 hw version router

 

In Internet setup, set WAN access type to Ethernet and in protocol, choose dynamic ip for connection such as Tikona, Reliance metro, cable boradband (without pppoe dialer) etc and choose pppoe if you have a pppoe dialer based connection such as pacenet, honesty net solutions etc.

i got a new wimax connection today ( i have to deal with one of the most pathetic person - i wont go into detail , he setups wimax for bsnl customers ) 

 

my connection disconnects after 1-2 min and changes from operational to scan in modem page and doesnt connect and works for 1-2 min after restart .

 

also , does wimax box needs to be in specifc direction ? because this pathetic one fixed wimazx outdoor cpe on a rod and make it face towards exchange . thats it ?

 

 

just purchased yesterday hathway plan speed 5mbs fup 25gb and then 1mbps

on the first day i am having a problem.

My phone was switched off and i got a missed call alert message as usual. But to my surprise the person who called me also received a message that "This number is available for call now".

My question is that how to disable this service?
(i dont want other person to receive a message about when i switched on my phone).

p.s. i dont want to disable missed call alert though.

I am currently residing at 10th Street, Ram Nagar South, Madipakkam, Chennai - 600091. Prior to this I was in Adyar and my ISP was Airtel, I had an 8mbps connection with 40gb download limit.

 

After I change my residence, Airtel confirmed that they cannot provide services here as there is no feasibility, hence I cancelled my connection and since then I have tried with Tata, reliance and BSNL to get a wired broadband connection, but everyone came back saying they too have no feasibility in this place.

 

I am in a fix now as being a heavy user I actually want a high speed data connection with at least 50gb download limit. I am currently using tata photon plus but hardly getting 0.48 mbps. I don't want to get a Tikona connection as there is so many complain about them.

 

Through this forum I am requesting help to resolve my situation. Any suggestion is welcomed and appreciated.

 

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

 Hi last day i just encountered problems with my old evdo extension cable .Suggest me some good quality extension cable under 400 so that u used or using and had no lag . Thanks in advance and i wrote in bold to attract more replies on topic

I have observed that tikona official(tikona.services, if I'm not wrong) is on this forum. However, user hasn't visited this forum since last 18 days. Last activity was on 31st Jul, 2012.

I want tikona users to post result of Tikona connectivity at your location. Tikona has a good approach of providing high speed internet but they are unable to provide it because of they're providing internet on free channels. Therefore, they couldn't provide you a much stable connectivity. Tikona has a good infrastructure and high power Access point as I experienced.

I foolishly tried to change the direction of receivers (Nano station2 loco and Ruckus outdoor CPE are used for testing) facing at the face of AP several times from different corners of terrace.
I conclude that during some duration especially early morning and late nigh, I get stable connectivity but some delay is observed in ping time while pinging to default gateway else I get packet loss which we all receive from Tikona.

Why is this happening?
I can say this is all because of interference around the receiver. Again, I'm saying their access point are enough capable to send signal to multiple users but as mgcarley told me in discussion through PM, AP could become busy sometime while handling multiple requests and attending numbers of users. However, its throughput is fine but CPU memory reaches to peak. It is hard for user to determine poor performance is due to congestion at AP or interference around receiver/AP unless user has access of receiver which is not provided by Tikona official and even it's impossible to get into system. Any of receiver(Nanostation2 loco, Ruckus or Gemtech) provided by Tikona is not suitable for dealing with interference at user's site. Gemtech works at some location but it has worse throughput. It goes down very often. I think that's why Tikona has spent money in buying spectrum. It got numbers of customers in Mumbai and Pune. It can be said it is heart of Tikona but it depends on user whether it chooses Tikona or go with any alternative if available unlike me.

There is no solution of interference. It will help in getting stability temporary by shifting channels which is not possible from user side. Yeah, 5Ghz channel helps because of there are less electronics equips are working on that frequency whereas if we talk about 2.4Ghz, First comes wireless router(we all are used with it after laptop becomes easily available), cordless(it doesn't bother much but affects in some cases) and oven and many more.

High power devices make sense in getting stable connectivity but it will never be provided from Tikona. They may be costly for Tikona to afford. Variety of devices will improve performance as I experience personally. Every user has different situation at his place where unique device doesn't work especially it is cheap.

Believe me if you get connected with Tikona AP properly, you will have best taste of pudding. I have never experienced poor speed even if I think, it is evening and there will be unstable speed unless I have above 25% packet loss. In Mum-Pune, there may be different scenario where numbers of users have a single AP and if those are fond of downloading a lot, they may have wide variation in speed as official has mentioned in T/C in technical manner.(They are allowed to increase ratio up to 1:50 for unlimited plans.)


1) Please post snap of ping of default gateway.
2) Speedtest.net result along with the tariff speed under the result.
3) Most important, pingtest.net result.
4) Post the distance of AP from your place, numbers of AP with clear LOS(line of sight) and unclear one also. and direction of AP(I mean face of AP from your place)

I won't ask about your experience or about any rating. I know you and I are fed up with Tikona but for me, I don't have any alternative and I couldn't stop myself from lucrative speed of Tikona. Speedtest.net rating speaks itself calculated as per its automated system.

My result.
1). I get stability very often at late night. I will post the worse one when I have during the day.




2).



3). Why it's important. It gives the line quality test.








Above results seems good but I will post worse one tomorrow when sun rises. It's late night gives good results.
4).

AP = 2 both have clear LOS from my terrace and have not more than 300m distance from my terrace.
One of AP has exact face at my terrace but high tension line behind it bothers a lot. It fluctuate signal strength but it gives me best performance. It gives about 5-15ms from default gateway but I can't connect with it because of high tension lines causes signal drops.
Another one have clear LOS but face of AP is having cross angle because of having AP of another ISP is installed at the same place having distance of 2feet not more. Gives trouble a lot during day. It is the only one I can connect with. It gives me about 15-25ms from default gateway. Other ISP AP interferences a lot results in to packet loss while signal strength doesn't survive.


Don't post any confidential information of yours. No id or request number or no personal email/email interaction or name of any employee.

I need your connection performance. If it worked well, I would send it to appellate authority of Tikona. They may personally contact you through PM only if they are interested to make better.

Tikona is not suitable for online Gaming application or voice-video solution which is first requirement remained unsatisfied.

I'd applied for a new broadband connection (in Marathahalli, Bangalore) and the documents were collected, along with an initial deposit cheque of Rs 2016, last Saturday (15th Feb). The cable box (or whatever that was) was installed promptly after that, on the following Monday (17th Feb) and I was also told that the connection will be activated within 1-2 days.

 

But till now I haven't gotten my connection. Customer care, as expected, can't provide any clear answer. Called yesterday & was told "It'll be activated by tomorrow end of the day" which, as you can guess, hasn't happened. While applying for the connection I was repeatedly assured it won't take more than 7 days, at the maximum.

What's worse is that the ACT representative, who collected the documents & the Rs 2016 cheque, is not picking up my calls. I'm getting kinda worried here. If this is how it is to get a connection, how is it gonna be after that !!

 

Requesting ACT broadband to take a look into the matter and get it sorted ASAP.

How to Change BSNL Broadband Plan Online? Unable to find any option in their site, also no option to change type of lead in uddan.bsnl.co.in :/

Really amazing to see such speeds in Kolkata for the first time :mml: Test done on PACKAGE PREMIUM 1050 UNLIMITED NO FUP'S :yahoo:

Hey guys,

I am from south Delhi thinking to switch to Nextra cuz its more economical then Airtel.

I have been exteremly satisfied with Airtel services so far. Net is amazing. Zero downtime, constant ping.

Can I expect the same from Nextra?

I am currently on Airtel Rapid 80 under 20% discount offered by retention team last month.

I'll call them again at end of this month to discontinue. I'll stick to them if they offer them true unlimited plan with at least bps speed.

Any one aware if they currently have 2 or 4mbps retention plan if so what are there prices?

Thanks!
With atleast 2mbps speed*

Hello Broadband Forum,
 
I'm getting a new BSNL Broadband Connection with the unlimited plan (with my telecom circle). I have opted to purchase the modem myself, thus deciding not to go for the device that BSNL provides.
 
I've read a ton of posts here regarding what modem/router .. yada yada yada... to go for.. But I would still like to have some help!!
 
I intend to use my Broadband connection for connecting to the Internet wirelessly to my Dell Studio Laptop, as well as my Smartphone. In addition, I also intend to connect to the Internet through Ethernet, albeit occasionally.
 
I have read very highly about TP-LINK's networking products. I have also experienced one of their products while using the Internet at one of my relatives'.
 
Anyways, cutting to the chase, the following is the Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router that I intend on purchasing:
 
Model : TP-LINK W8151ND

Kindly advise, as to
whether this would be the right choice for BSNL broadband or not?
Thanks in advance.

Something cool is coming. - Nokia

So I have completed watching up until the latest episode. The acting, I feel isn't really outstanding. There is gratuitous nudity of course since it is Starz. The set is beautiful. The locations are fantastic. The plot is entirely different. But after the end of every episode, it doesn't really intrigue me or make me want for more. Anyway, I'll finish this season before i through in the towel. And since Starz has this reputation of cancelling shows just after 2nd season or the 3rd, I don't know how long they'll stick with this.

Oldest MP retires after seven decades in politics — www.thehindu.com
 

Rishang Keishing, 94, India's oldest parliamentarian, has called it a day. There was no farewell handshake from his fellow MPs from the Rajya Sabha, the chairperson or other employees although everybody knew that they would perhaps not see him again. He boarded his waiting car and silently left for his residence on Wednesday.
Mr. Keishing has had a chequered political career, getting elected four times to Parliament, twice to the Rajya Sabha. A heavyweight in Manipur politics, he worked and manoeuvred his way to become the Chief Minister four times though he could not complete any of them, as in those days there was no anti-defection law and MLAs used to change parties for loaves and fishes.

Hello,

 

I have been using Beam Fiber for 2 years now. Starting last week, I have been having issues with the connection. The connection is good for couple of hours and drops there after. The portal page does not open either. I have to disable the adapter and/or reboot the router. The techs came and reset their modem. Has anyone had similar issues? These issues have come up just when I wanted to upgrade to the 50Mbps plan. I have been using Asus the RT-N13U.B1 router with the dd-wrt firmware. Initially I had thought that it was a router issue and went ahead and bought a replacement but am having the same issues. Any help is appreciated with configuration or tips to rectify this issue.

 

Thanks,

Mohan 

Hello Everyone,

 

I would like to change from BSNL to Beam. I stay in Hyderabad, DilsukhNagar area. I have few questions in regards to beam.

 

1) Can we buy our own modem ? If yes what is the best ?

2) Can beam provide dynamic ip's like BSNL ?

3) Is it reliable in service like continuity of the service with out many interrupts ?

4) Do they provide the speed as promised all the time till FUP is reached ?

 

Please share your genuine experiences and guide me on this.

 

Thanks !!
