My suggesstion would be go for Wirless
ADSL Modem what MTNL will provide.
I stay in Mumbai (Mazgaon Exchange). I too am thinking of going for a wireless
router.
Now ofcourse i want a single device, so i want to go for an adsl modem+wireless router (all-in-one).
But which ones will MTNL provide for my DSL 849 NU package? Is there a list of routers that MTNL provides?
Also what happens to my current DSL 502T modem and how much will then be the monthly rental for the router(which is currently Rs80)?
Finally, will i be able to setup a security lock on my router to prevent access to wifi devices outside my house?
I use both my WIfi
laptops without any problem.
Does that mean u can use both ur laptops to connect to ur mtnl triband connection, at the same time?
Make sure you set the modem in PPPoE mode and not Bridge.
Now why u need to do that? I have been using bridge mode for quite a while now and dont like the "always on" idea wherein u dont control when the net is being used.
Also, since the wireless router is eventually going to be connected thru ethernet/usb (and not a wifi card or somethin similar) to the pc, why wud it matter which mode (bridged or pppoe) u use?
Thanx, in advance.
