I were forced to enable Wi-Fi at our house to surf internet on Tablets and laptops easily without any cables. Then i immediately bought and replaced my old BSNL modem with D-Link DSL 2730U Wireless N 150 ADSL Modem Router. I went straight to service provider office to configure it but my bad i can’t get good support as it’s not a working day. I can imagine who would be my life without an Internet Connection, So i tried configuring it my self and ended with huge success.

It was really helpful. I always used to suffer because of these technical issues. Really need to share this.
Gah of course the password is “admin”. I was trying every default password I could think of… never occurred to me that they would just make it the same as the username -_-
Hi, when I type in the address you gave for configuring the modem, it says the site can’t be reached. I am trying for D Link N 150 DIR 600L model. Could you please help
Admin URL may be different for some models. Check user manual provided in the box for correct URL.
Hi, impressive article! I recently bought D-Link DIR-816 Wireless AC750 Dual Band Router for BSNL broadband connection. BSNL engg told he requires a ADSL modem along with router but read online that you can configure just the router(non-adsl) for BSNL wifi connection. Is there a way? If yes pls help me with both hardware(is there a diff kind of splitter) and software config
But i get a red light after configuring the router
Thank you for describing in details …
HI

Truly spking…there’s nothing better than Gyan…when u r desperately looking for one…that was what it was today…heartfelt gratitude.
Hi,
I am trying to configure a wireless router connected to a BSNL modem(without wireless). The router config is done as per the instructions given by the D-Link , but the internet connection status says disconnected.
I do have the bsnl username and password, and provided the same through. Is there something I should modify in the modem itself to send data through the router?
PS: I can connect to internet via modem, and i am using the same to type this.
Just to make sure, You are connecting a wireless modem to non-wireless modem right? You should use master/slave concept here. For more detailed information, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned here

hello sir, how can i Configure /setup d-link -2730u wireless N 150 adsl2 +router of version IN_1.11 for bsnl broadband?
Do you have BSNL username and password with you?
I believe what you typed was very reasonable. However, what about this?
suppose you typed a catchier title? I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid.,
but suppose you added something that makes people want more?
I mean How to Configure D-Link N150 DSL Wireless Router with BSNL Broadband is a little boring.
You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they
create article headlines to get people interested.
You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get people interested about what
you’ve written. In my opinion, it might bring your website a
little bit more interesting.
Thanks for the tip 🙂
Was very very very helpful thank you…

You can get your username and password from nearby BSNL office
Hai,

2nd thing is about wan security…
mean to say under the range of my router any body can access internet in wairless ? Because u not mention any password for security.
Thanking you
Abhijit Mukherjee
Hai Abhijit
Installing that CD won’t create any problems.
and if you’re in a plan to secure your wi-fi with a password, then do this
Open 192.168.1.1
Click WireLess from the left menu and then click Security.
Enter your desired password in the field provided after “WPA/WAPI passphrase:” and hit “Apply/Save”
That’s it, one can’t access your wifi unless they know your password
hi; it’s useful.
Hi,
I am using Bsnl broadband with Dlink wifi modem, modem is recieving DSl but the Internet light is not glowing ….need help
It might be the problem with your connection. Better configure all above mentioned settings carefully once again

Hello Sadique Muhamed,
I am Kumaran working as BSNL JTO in Tamilnadu.It seems to be that the problem is not with your DSL modem. DSL link should be stable before proceeding further.(The problem may be due to the faulty DSLAM server port/telephone copper line cable ( from telephone exchange to your end).Contact the nearest BSNL customer service center for further help/Visit my blogging page subtlespot.hubpages.com to get the complete procedures on rectifying your DSL broadband problems.
Using Windows 7 Professional in my PC.
Yes all the lights of the modem that should be on for indicating internet access are glowing.
Which operating system are you using currently ?
I configured as per your advice above.
I start the modem at first and after the links glow and boot my computer. Many times internet cannot be connected as multiple networks try to access the system
Are you sure, Internet light is still glowing on your modem?
hi,
i took new bsnl broadband connection and also bought a d link modem after configuration dsl indicator didn’t work. when i reported this problem they said i should replace the modem because due to distance problem the signal will not get. so they advice me to take an bsnl modem but that too didnt work pls help
This is very strange answer from ISP i have heard ever. It should work, Distance is not an issue in case of BSNL as it uses a land line telephone. Cross check that you have configured the modem properly and make sure all wires are connected and working properly and Telephone and modem are at same place.
Sir, how do I assign static IP on that modem (DSL-2730U)? For the purpose of network communication, I want a static IP; model router IP often changed itself (ISP provides DHCP IP). Please reply me; I would be very grateful to you.
Open your D-Link routers Web configuration screen and then open Setup tab.
Now. click Network Settings.
navigate and Add DHCP Reservation section, Tick Enable box and add your device’s name.
Now add device’s IP Address and MAC Address as well.
IP Address you entered should be within your’s router DHCP UP Address Range.
and ultimately Click Save.
it’s not work out at D-Link 2730 U Router, it still showing the red color ! what to do?
Red Color indicates, either there is a problem in your settings or in your landline wiring. Better contact your ISP
Sir
I am having same model and i configured modem in the same way
it works well for 20-30 minutes and then internet stops working . Then it does not work by any methods.
I can use only next day. On same day it does not connect after first use though DSL is ok
Strange problem! have you configured your modem properly? Follow our steps exactly and perform any additional steps. Before proceeding, reset your modem.
If problem exits, login in to your modem and under management menu, select reboot. Hope it works well.
thnk u buddy …
Hi ,
