I have a MTNL broadband at home right now which works with TP-Link W8961ND which is a ADSL 2+ Modem Router. I am changing my broadband to a local service provider and their service guy said that this modem+router wont work with it and I will have to buy a new DSL router. Is this true? Can't this ADSL2+ Modem+Router can be used with their Internet?

don't take it now but just ask them the make and model number of the device they are going to supply and post it here

that is fine but are they not going to tell what you should buy i.e. some company / model name? what sort of connection they are going to provide? something might be in writing some where. it may be a LAN connection and they might be thinking you are going to need a wifi router for using wifi.

I called him today, and he told me to get a router with RJ45 port. I am thinking of buying TP-LINK TL-WR841N, how is this? or I should consider some other?

Also won't my current modem + router TP-Link W8961ND work since it also has RJ45 port along with RJ-11 WAN port? That guy said it won't work but I doubt him.

For RJ45 cable connection you need to buy router.

This router has one RJ11 port (input) and 4 RJ45 ports(output) . The technician was right. The router doesn't have an input port for RJ45.

router is not some special device,think of it like an extension board.any modem with more than 1 lan port is also a router.connect incoming internet cable to one of the lan/rj45 port & connect your pc to any of the other lan port,that's it.

P.S. btw this is India & one should not believe even the technical staff of companies without doing their own research.in fact i have suggested using adsl modem with cable broadband here many times now & ppl have got it working too even if with some restrictions(like some adsl modems don't have mac cloning feature making them not good choice for cable broadband).

Lol this is confusing, so I should just call the service provider technician and say him to install the connection using this modem+router, if it will work then that's good else I will just put the lan cable in computer directly and will order router later and configure myself.

just tell him to install directly to your computer.after he is gone run ipconfig /all in command prompt & post the result here.before that just connect cable to one of the lan port of modem & computer to any other lan port of modem to see if it works.

I was out of town so couldn't call him to set up connection. Got back yesterday, called him and connection is up right now. Currently the wire is directly connected to PC.

Here is the screen shot: View image: internet

Can you please guide me on how to change mac address?
And if I'll change it will I be able to use MTNL broadband (which is currently connected to mdem/router, and I am using only router for all the mobile devices at my home)? I am asking this, if in case this doesnt work, then I need MTNL broadband till I buy a new router for mobile devices.

Facing a weird problem now, can't even access my modem page on *192.168.1.1
It is showing web page not found (Although I have connected my PC to modem using one LAN wire).
