Connect Netgear wireless Router WGR614 with BSNL Huawei modem

Last week I went to my cousin Sudhans' house. He is using BSNL Dataone, also he is having Linksys Wireless Router, which is not in use.

So I took my Netgear Wireless Router WGR614 to his house in tiruppur. Unlike other major ISPs in India, BSNL uses PPP(PPPoE) based dialing to connect to BSNL Broadband (Dataone) network.

Connecting the Huawei modem with my Netgear wireless router was not possible with my knowledge, so I googled for a longtime. It gave many results but I was not comfortable as I found that PPPoE based connection is supported by NetGear. So I thought it will be very easy than those step by step guides in the links. I read the Web Based documentation of the Netgear Wireless Router. It showed a very simple way to do that.

Im considering that your BSNL based connection is working, so this is just a add on to your existing connection to make you a wireless broadband experience.

Just login to the Netgear Wireless Router Web based Configurator / Manager
Select "Does Your Internet Connection Require a Login" to YES
Choose Other as your ISP
Give out your BSNL Dataone - username & password
Make sure Internet IP Address is selected to Get Dynamically from ISP (Choose the appropriate one as per your current settings)
Set DNS Address as the following

BSNL DNS Information :

Primary DNS : 61.1.96.69

Secondary DNS : 61.1.96.71

Click Apply - and check it will be working fine... (It worked for me)

Hi,

After batlling with WGR614 v7, for more than 3 hours, i see some hope after reading your update.

i have been trying to install strictly as per the instruction in the e-manual, but no use..
You mentioned that - "..Make sure Internet IP Address is selected to Get Dynamically from ISP (Choose the appropriate one as per your current settings).."

As i see from my settings, it is a Static IP. So, why would you recommend getting Dynamically?

Any other way that you can help me?

Thanks,
