I am using BSNL Type 1 modem ( ZXDSL 831AII) Presently . I have applied for wifi modem which will be given after 2 or 3 days .The problem is that if the modem fails to be properly configured the BSNL technician is surely going to say me that your PC is at fault and to take the PC to a PC tehnician . So much for being largest National telecom company cusomer service bull ****.
Last time when i upgraded from old HUAWEI modem to the ZTE one the technician came after 2 WEEKS and configure my modem and the problem was that i had to choose "BRIDGING" instead of "pppoe over internet" . I just don't want this kind of delay this time. If anything happens then i have to again wait for weeks before i can access Internet.So i am ensuring that at least i have first hand knowledge of proper settings
I don't know which modem will they provide me but can you tell me the basic settings that should be done in my pc and router irrespective of Modem company/build for proper function for DATAONE HOME 500 PLAN . I am currently using Windows XP and NORTON 360 V1 for antivirus and firewall purposes . What changes should i do in firewall settings . Do i have to first change router configuration through Ethernet or straight to wifi . Also i have heard that wifi connections can be easily hacked if not properly protected . Please tell me the steps to enable encryption .Do i have to repeat these steps every time i use a new PC to connect through the router ? Also i can port forward the router if it is allowed by the device so you can be assured that i know some basics of networking .
presently for the TYPE I Modem settings are
VPI = "0 " ,
VCI = "35" ,
service category = ""UBR WITHOUT PCR" ,
protocol = "BRIDGING" ,
Encapsulation = "LLC/SNAP",
Nat = "Off" ,
Wan IP Address = "none" ,
DNS server = "NONE" ,
Default route = "off"
Also just for knowledge ,they said that it is possible for more than 2 LAPTOPS to run the Internet .Leaving the Internet sharing part is it possible to establish a Home wireless LAN for file sharing through this router .If yes please point me to any tutorials if present so .
