Call their CC.
Might be a problem due to low signal strength.

Nahh,signal is not a problem at all.I am getting full signals,still the speed is still 2G/Edge.
And please help about that micromax issue too.

Go to the internet section of the router and select 3G only.

Tried it too....but still no 3G :(
I doubt if Airtel 3G is enabled in my Area,I got sms(confirming that 3G services are activated on my sim yesterday).I don't think so 3G is enabled in my area,i called Airtel CC too..they said 3G is enabled.I don't know what is happening!

Check If your area has 3G or not because router is not caching 3G. In router's main page it is showing EDGE network. You can see the yellow 'E' if it is caching 3G then it should show 'W' or 'H' there.

First disconnect, then go to then go to advance settings>internet>network setting>3G only. Then it should be solved.
