BSNL Modem problem .. Please Help

[deepfriend]

Hello ,

Guys , i am having BSNL Modem which i bought from BSNL , its name is ATSTARCOM ADSL 2+ , here is the picture UTStarcom ADSL2+ Ethernet/USB modem

The problem is , the internet connection doesnt work properly , like in the picture the Internet light doesnt glow for some 2 days in serious cases and and glows out for some minutes and comes back in some other cases its gets disconnected very often ..

I went to the BSNL exchange and got it troubleshooted 3 times , but it works sometime and doesnt work someother tme ...I have asked my friends about their modems and a friend who has a Airtel connection say this kinds problems doesnt occur in Airtel ..

I recently went to the exchange regarding this problem and they said , we dont know whether the problem is in the modem or in the line ...

My friend told to buy a Beetel 110 Bxi , get configured by the BSNL guys and use it instead of this UTSTARCOM modem ...coz , he uses his modem and says the lights glowing off problem didnt occur even once with that modem ....

Now what to do , did any f u have similar problems , plz share any ideas and experiences ...

Thanks

I am having AirTel Connection and using Beetel 220BX1 ADSL Modem

I have experienced the problem of not having Internet (Data) Light in my MODEM many times

In my case, the problem lies with the LINE, not MODEM

Anyways:

* Try connecting a different MODEM and see if the problem persists.
* If after connecting another MODEM, the problem continues, the fault is in the LINES and only BSNL guys can rectify it

Hope this helps

Try to make sure you're line is fine. Its most of the times the fault of the line so try to get it rectified.
If possible, try to track you're phone wire and see where it joins outside you're house and see if there are any loose connections,etc

I have two BSNL broadband connections and several modems. It just so happens that right now I'm using UTStarcom modems for both connections - one UT-300R2 and one UT300R2U.

Your link does not work now and you did not give the exact model number of the modem. But since you mentioned "the Internet light", I'm assuming that you're referring to the UT300R2U model. Your problem can be due to a defective modem, but it's more likely to be with BSNL. Here are some things you can do:

1. The "DSL" light on the modem should come on about a minute after you turn it on and remain steadily lit without flickering. Does it do that? This is important as the first step in diagnosing the problem.

2. Connect a phone to the line and listen. Is it clear or do you hear some noise - some crackling or buzzing? If there's some noise, your phone line has a bad connection somewhere and it's likely to interferere with the internet connection.

3. Take your modem to the house of a friend with a working broadband connection. Configure it to your friend's account and try it out.

4. Borrow a friend's modem and try it out at your house.

We can tackle the next step after you've done these things.
