BSNL Dataone Tweak - Connection Dropping, Speed & Timeout Issues
I have BSNL Dataone connection at home and really I was not impressed with it. The main points of dissatisfaction were :
(1) Poor speed
(2) Some sites don't open, for no reason what so ever. They fail to resolve DNS or there is a connection timeout.
(3) Frequent Disconnections
After working a lot, I devised a way to deal with all these problem and guess what it worked like a charm after tweaking my modem settings. Even if you are satisfied with your connection try this tweak, you would love it.
Steps :
Try Bridge Mode. don't use PPPoE mode. Here is how to change your modem settings.
1. In Internet Explorer type 192.168.1.1
2. Give user name and password (By default username: admin password:admin)
3. Select Bridge Mode from the settings ( The location of this setting would depend on your modem and you would have to find it. I found the setting in WAN settings as shown in screen shot. If you don't find such a option try finding link to quick wizard and select Bridge Mode. You might also find it under Interface Setup > Internet > Encapsulation = Bridge Mode )
4. Restart your modem.
