to access modem page pc/laptop ip must be in the same range i.e.ip 192.168.1.x & gateway 192.168.1.1.you may need to manually set the ip but write down any setting before you change it.

use imgur,forum attachment function is broke.in adsl modem use mac clone/spoof feature to set modem mac address to desktop mac address 94-DE-80-B0-D6-C0.once it is done connect incoming net cable to one of the lan port & connect pc to another lan port.dial connection from pc as usual & it should work.



*www.tp-link.com/resources/software/20113821345217.pdf
see section 4.3.2 on mac spoofing.also see section 4.3.1 on internet connection type.there select connection as pppoe(leave other values as default),enter username/password,select ip as static & enter details from ipconfig result above(IPv4 Address : 10.1.190.20(Preferred),Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0,Default Gateway : 10.1.190.1).

I have changed everything as you said other than the mac address (mac clone/spoof feature thing). I don't know but I cant understand about this from the modem manual you provided. So can you please enligthene me about this thing specially. Other than this everything is set.

Currently the modem+router is acting like a switch, i.e. Internet on my PC is working fine (Ethernet cable is connected to one lan port, and a line wire connects Modem to my PC), but the router functionality is not working, ie Internet cannot be accessed on mobile devices.

And if I'll change it will I be able to use MTNL broadband ?.

Yes, indeed.

Spoofing is basically a feature to fake your MAC address. This is needed is some cases where you need to connect to a network which only allows specific MAC addresses. Local ISPs use them frequently.

Coming to original issue, i.e. using ADSL router (cum modem) with a DSL connection, is indeed possible but with comes with its own hiccups, primarily being the headache to set it up.

Sometimes, it does get tricky to configure the connection. I had faced a similar scenario when I used Reliance, and then a random web tutorial helped me.

Which exact ISP you are using ?

I was using MTNL before and now a local cable provider (basically they are providing Hathway).


Yes, indeed.

I actually tried changing some settings which whitestar suggested, but since wasn't clear about Spoofing, I changed everything back to what it was(According to me) but now MTNL broadband isn't working. :/ So now till I figure out how to do spoofing thing, no one in my home can use Internet on their mobiles.

Alright, even I'm using hathway right now, so may be I can help you out, that's why one should always mention ISP ;)

Firstly, Hathway doesn't need spoofing so forget that.

Second, I'm sharing my settings, which I did by myself, so nothing apart from it is required.

Also, you can't use MTNL with same settings, you will have to modify the settings required for MTNL.

Thanks I will try it tomorrow, will let you know if it worked.

Yes I know, I actually changed the settings back to what I think was previously. I must have missed something because of which it ain't working.

I tried but didnt succeed :/
Here are the ss of my router settings, have a look and let me know what to change. (I have used IP address which that guy assigned me so that will differ)

Nothing seems to be wrong as far as I can see. I'll suggest you to reset your router first then set up the settings from scratch.

in 1st screenshot(capture1.jpg),make sure encapsulation--isp--pppoe is selected for mtnl with dynamic ip & in case of cable broadband with dialer software it is selected as pppoe with static ip for your case.for mtnl vpi is 0 & vci is 32.also click on PVC summary tab in capture1.jpg & post the screenshot in case of issue.
