Hi Friends,

I have just got a new Reliance broadband connection at my Place in Pune, Also i have my own ASUS RT N13-U Router which i wanted to use on my broadband connection. Unfortunately i tried using it since the day i got the internet, but failed
If my PC works then not my Laptop or Mobile, All i mean to say is only 1 device gets connected at a time.
If i sign out from first device it get connected to other but no 2 devices at the same time.
I have tried all possible ways out but no go, so thought of asking help at BBForum

Guys if you know any quick way out of it please help, i'm completely messed with this 1 at a time internet connection.

Thanks in Advance,
Rahul

24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a thrilling new event series set to restart the ticking clock on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama.

The high-octane saga reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon; star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland; co-creator Robert Cochran; executive producers, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Brian Grazer and director Jon Cassar. It also will retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and interweaving storylines.

Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland). Four years ago, Jack was a fugitive from justice. Now an exile, he nevertheless is willing to risk his life and freedom to avert yet another global disaster. Tracking Jack are CIA head STEVE HARRIS (Benjamin Bratt, "Law & Order"); CIA agent KATE MORGAN (Yvonne Strahovski, "Dexter"), who is both resourceful and ruthless; JORDAN REED (Giles Matthey, "Jobs"), a smart and sophisticated CIA computer tech; and ERIK RITTER (Gbenga Akinnagbe, "The Wire"), a sharp, strong and arrogant field operative. Calling the shots is JAMES HELLER (William Devane, "The Dark Knight Rises"), now President of the United States. Heller is flanked by his Chief of Staff MARK BOUDREAU (Tate Donovan, "Damages"), who is married to Heller's daughter -- Jack's former flame, AUDREY (Kim Raver, "Revolution"). Meanwhile, a hardened CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub, "Firewall"), Bauer's CTU confidante, is now working underground with high-profile hacker ADRIAN CROSS (Michael Wincott, "The Crow"). Guest stars on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY include Golden Globe Award winner Judy Davis ("Life with Judy Garland") and Golden Globe Award nominee Stephen Fry ("Alice in Wonderland," BONES). The harrowing day will have Jack attempting to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.

I have been using the bsnl wll connection for 3yrs and as I understand it is a CDMA baseed technology. And during these 3 years I have atleast had to get the WLL device replaced of repaired around 10 times. And since I am using this connection in my shop it is not an inconvenience, but the long waiting periods to get the phone repaired/replaced is costing me. I was wondering if I could just pop the sim card in the WLL device into a CDMA cell phone and use it. I do realise that even if I get it to work I will still only be able to use the WLL number in my billing area/ locality.

Anyone with any suggestions or experience please reply.

I'm going to move to HSR Layout 1st Sector in the following week. I contacted Airtel and unfortunately they don't have network feasibility here. This absolutely surprises me to know that Airtel still don't have their network in one of the prime residential places of Bangalore. To be honest I searched all over the internet to know what all ISPs are available and there are not many. I heard of TTN network as most used broadband here in 1st Sector, but all over the internet its users are down voting and cursing it.

I hope this is my last resort to ask this question on broadband forum, if anyone is staying here in 1st Sector, do you know what all ISPs are available here? If you've heard of TTN Network, is it really that horrible as its users say?

I'm really internet starved and frustrated to my depths, this is my new home and they still don't have Airtel here. I can't stay alive on shitty Airtel 3G and expensive 4G anymore . Lord knows what the hell is taking so much time.

The show is doing wonderfully well. I personally love it. It's different, no cheap comedy and pure entertainment.

TRP wise it's doing extremely well. Currently at the top in it's category (even above the likes of KBC, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, etc.) and overall 3rd.

BTW you can watch the full episodes, trailers, etc. here - http://www.youtube.com/user/colorstv/search?query=comedy+nights

Believe me, this show is amazing. You gotta watch this if you don't.

This year the Comic-Con International award for Saving the Best For Last goes to Warner Bros., which at the end of its panel in Hall H brought out Zack Snyder to make a very big mic-drop announcement: That there would be a new Superman movie. With Batman. The movie will be titled Superman & Batman according to The Los Angeles Times, Snyder will direct the film, slated for 2015, and—according to The Hollywood Reporter—Henry Cavill will reprise the role of Clark Kent/Superman, but it's unclear who will play Batman. Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer will pen the script. Sources also told the Reporter that the film will be part of the build up for a 2017 release for the Justice League movie.

Hi ...

i have a Tikona Broadband at home with a RJ45 connector coming out from the signal device.

i have 1 desktop PC and 2 Smartphones. 

I want to purchase a Router with 300 Mbps speed, with a USB port for Data card/External HDD.

After gone through various websites i have decided to go for D-Link DSL-2750U Wireless N ADSL2 4-Port Wi-Fi Router.

But it is a Modem + Router and has RJ11 WAN port But on various forum i have read that this product can be use with tikona broadband. But in Wajirpur Computer Market(Delhi) all shopwala told me that this D-Link DSL 2750 is a Modem + Router and will not work with Tikona Broadband. what should i do?

Is it compatible with tikona broadband?

can i go online simultaneously on my 2 smartphones and Desktop PC?

what will be the limitations of using Modem+router instead of a router (If it is compatible)?

Please suggest some other Routers with similar configuration, 300 Mbps(large home), USB Port for data card and external HDD.(i dont want to go for TP-Link).

My range is upto Rs 2500.

Please Help me out from this confusion.

Thanks & Regards

Hi guys,

Iam from Adamabakkam, Chennai. I have been seeing this forum for quite some time and decided to ask u guys for teh same old question. What ineternet plan ??

Iam currently using BSNL ( not exactly because my ineternet is always down these days ). My plan is 750UL  with FUP of 6gb @ 1 mbps and @512 kbps beyond that.The problem is BSNL BB has become unreliance in terms of connectivity and support ( even to my friends). So Iam right now looking for a plan which is good enough for my usage.

My requirements:

1. A decent FUP limit > 20 GB

2. Atleast 2 mbps

3. Cheap

4. Support

5. Should not be a headache like BSNL

I don't game much. I download a decent amount of movies and other stuff. As Iam working, I will not be using for the whole day. But whenever Iam at home, My system will be downloading something.

Recently I came across ACT and Tikona. Heard they are cheap and decent. Pls suggest me some ideas guys. Need ur help !

Hi, 

I have just subscribed to a new Hathway Docsis 3.0 plan. Its working fine when i am plugging in the Cat5 cable directly into a laptop. Getting speeds of 38Mbps.

I am trying to configure my existing Dlink 2750U to enable wifi access for this connection. I have tried virtually all the options suggested on this and other similar forums. 

quick summary of options tried

1) Using group Interface option suggest on a Trikona BB forum

2) Flashed Dlink to ME firmware to setup ethernet interface 

3) Directly plugging laptop and modem to Dlink router ports and disabling DHCP server functionality in the router

So far i have been able to get internet through the wired connection from Dlink (i.e. Dlink is wired to Hathway cable modem and laptop is wired to Dlink).

However once i do that i am unable to connect through the wireless. My android phone keeps alternating between obtaining ip; Authenticating and poor internet connection avoided. I also tried to force it to connect by aping all IP settings as pulled automatically when connecting laptop through wired network. 

I suspect the issue maybe one of these (or something altogether different)

1) Unlike the wired connection; my android phone is unable to obtain IP/DNS settings when connecting through wifi

2) Something to do with MAC ( less likely - as i have no login requirement whatsoever)

3) DNS: I suspect this might be the biggest issue. i have tried to hard code DNS into both laptop/router but doesnt seem to help

Will really appreciate it if someone can help me resolve this. 

Thanks
