Need Help About Modem

[Giraffe]

my bsnl modem(4-5 years old) is also giving problems, but its not dead. before buying new one I want to ensure modem is faulty, otherwise new modem will also give problem if problem is at bsnl's end....how to do this

What kind of problem it is?

Does it keep resetting on it's own occasionally and you loose connectivity for about 1 or 2 mintues and realize this because the market watch window has frozen????.....:rofl::rofl:

Or any other problem???

Try it with some other modem (friend's etc.). Or call the BSNL guys and tell them your problem. They will themselves do the needful (check line/modem/try with different modem)......

TR bhai seem u r disconneted now

#Some time faulty telephone cables or splitter can be a problem. These won't cost much.

#change the telephone cables connected to the splitter and change the splitter (splitter means broad band splitter).

#check the link connectivity from customer care help line whether there is any connectivity problem with ISP side or you side.

#they will confirm about link status (either up or down) and tech person from their side can check link strength from your side.( either coming to your place other sources)

hope the problem get solved soon.

with cheers,

Yes, I was using rent free modem until I surrendered the service. It was new and no issues with the modem, but with the connection

In Kerala we have to pay rent earlier it will be displayed in your bill...now BSNL telling here to there customers buy one from out side it will be better :lol:

I have been using BSNL BB from 2006 Mar. Using Modem supplied by BSNL - Huawei 1 LAN + Wireless. No issues so faar. Very good performance. Now a days, BSNL is not giving Modems. Buy Standard Modems like D-Link, Belkin, NetGear, TP-Link.....etc.Wired one costs 800 - 1000, Wireles one.....1500 - 2200.

Cheers.

If you have a Laptop / + Desktop and plan to buy a modem I would suggest a WiFi modem - if you only have a laptop then you stay connected any where in you home and if you also have a desktop then you can use the same modem for both with the help of a router. If you donot have a laptop then a standard Modem would do.

Apart from suggestions by Narayan I have the following for you:

1. Check your modem by first switching off and then switch on - if the LAN and ADSL lights blink rate is very very slow that means the modem is or has degraded and possibly must be replaced. Your internet provider can confirm this.

2. Usually in rainy season the telephone cable that is connected to the cables of your phone (and is somewhere outside your house is exposed to rain or moisture) usually oxidise or if the two lines are very close by might short due to wetness. You have to check this. Suggest you to cut the edges and wind again. This can also happen at the exchange box nearby your home in such case talk to the telephone lineman.

(Note: if the 2 lines of telephone, that are connected together, are very close to each other and are exposed then it is better to tape them else chances are they might frequently short because of moisture and the modem might damage)



Hope this helps.
