I have taken Bsnl wimax connection last month..

The wimax device is from zte name ox253p ..

When I power on the cpe then I have to always click connect in browser then after few seconds the wimax gets connected..

Recently I bought TP-LINK TL-WR740N router for my bsnl wimax..
Speed & signal is perfect of bsnl wimax but I need to connect my router to it for browsing internet from mobile n wirelessly from laptop..

Some Help from Digitians will be really very grateful to me..

As I don't know how to configure router in bsnl wimax ... so don't want to mess-ud up:-(

ok keep these settings for reference.change mode to bridge mode & select advanced bridge mode as standard bridge as shown in Untitled8.jpg.change nothing else & check that in untitled3.jpg under isp parameters only things removed are username & password with rest of the settings remain same else set them like before.after that connect only tp-link router to pc & open its settings page 192.168.0.1.go to network---wan settings select connection type as pppoe & enter username/password.select connect automatically option.after doing this connect lan wire from lan port of zte to wan port of tp-link.if it works you should see connected info like ip address(117.x.x.x) in tp-link status page.

I done the above.. bt after selecting bridge mode & advanced bridge as standard bridge no option or connect page of wimax coming .. no internet acess.. nt able to use router bro..

and even my wimax router login page 192.168.1.1 is not opening..

when i open ipconfig from cmd in cmd its ip 192.168.1.33
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 n default gateway is blank which used to show 192.168.1.1 before..
How to reset the bro... plz help..

there should be a reset switch(usually in the shape of a small hole) at the back or bottom of the model.insert a pin & keep it pressed for ~30 seconds while it is on & then release & it should reset(note power loss must not happen during this process so connect modem to ups/inverter when doing this).i am assuming you are asking about tp-link router.

naa bro.. I m asking abt wimax device..
there is no reset switch or hole on the zte wimax cpe..
But a bsnl guy used to insert a screwdriver under the wimax cpe to reset it..
So don't know it..
and the bsnl guy will charge 400 for resetting it..
W
Nov 14, 2013 at 11:04 AM
not possible.every wifi/wired modem/router has a reset switch.look carefully.hole may be hidden below some structure or look for a place where a screwdriver can be possibly inserted(maybe it is shaped like a screw hole).if still no success post detailed images of modem from all sides here(use imgur to upload images & check no resize option is selected).in the meantime post your ipconfig /all results.changing bridge settings should not affect lan settings of wifi modem.try the wifi modem on some other system(or laptop) to see if you still can't access 192.168.0.1.

see these manuals to find location of reset switch:

Just reset the wimax cpe ..
Modem is inside the cpe so u have to dismount the cpe n tap the button inside the space in the cpe where lan wire goes.
Just keep it pressed wid a screw driver for 10 seconds.. it will reset ..

Then u just need to tell me whether your wimax has dynamic ip or static ip..
I will tell you the procedure to configure router:mrgreen:

Bro ..tell me how to assign static ip address ..

wimax device login details -
WAN Information:
IP Address:
117.244.235.180
IP Subnet Mask:
255.255.224.0
DHCP:
Client
LAN Information:
IP Address:
192.168.1.1
IP Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
DHCP:
Server

the wan ip keeps changing ..

how to setup router then ..

wan ip(117.x.x.x) is assigned by bsnl & you can't do anything about it.router own address should be 192.168.0.1 & its dhcp range should be similar(192.168.0.x).your cpe will assign an ip address in the range(192.168.1.x) to router & router will assign its range of ip to connected devices.

then how to configure router bro ..

is there not any method to get router worked with bsnl wimax
W
Dec 9, 2013 at 7:14 PM
why do you need to do anything with wan ip?assuming your cpe is currently working just connect it to router wan port using lan & try surfing net on pc.you don't even have to configure router,just connect it & see if it works.if it does then no problem but if it doesn't then post result of ipconfig /all.make sure that net is working from pc directly connected to cpe & only after that connect the router between between cpe & pc.

why is your ipconfig /all result showing ip address & gateway as 192.168.1.x?if your router is working correctly then it should display ip address as 192.168.0.x & default gateway as 192.168.0.1.if your cpe & router are connected correctly then you should be able to open cpe config page(192.168.1.1) & router config page(192.168.0.1) from same pc.if not then something is wrong with your network setup.

first connect only router to pc.open its configuration page using 192.168.0.1.go to network--WAN & select connection type as "dynamic ip".don't use setup wizard or cd.after doing this connect cpe & router wan port & check you can open both 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.0.1 from pc & post result of ipconfig /all if net still doesn't work.

connected router to pc without connecting it to cpe(only router) login to config pade n selected network wan type as dynamic ip n clicked save without any cd or wizard.. then connected cpe to router wan port n tried to open 192.168.0.1 it opened bt 192.168.1.1 cpe admin page didn't n net also didn't worked ..
here is the screenshot of ipconfig

that means cpe is not communicating correctly with router.10 screenshots of cpe settings posted earlier are no longer working so post them again using imgur without connecting router.then post screenshots of router lan settings,dhcp settings & status page when connected to cpe.

try this.disonnect cpe & connect wifi router to pc.go to router lan settings & disable dhcp server.then change lan ip of router from default 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.100.after that connect cpe to router using one of the router lan port & not wan port.now see if you can access net,192.168.1.1(cpe page) & 192.168.1.100(router new page).also check that after doing this by running ipconfig /all that your pc is getting ip like 192.168.1.x & if not then just set it to 192.168.1.200 manually.

in your cpe config last pic which bridge mode are you using.try using router mode.

Dec 31, 2013 at 6:45 PM
if setup is working in lan(not wan) mode then leave it,no need to use wan port.
W
Jan 1, 2014 at 4:44 PM
why do you need wan port?i mean is there something not working with lan port method like no net access on wireless device etc.

I tried it and got the solution :)) (y)
Make sure that
your WIMAX ip address is 192.168.1.1 and
your tp link wifi router ip is 192.168.1.2

Don't change any value in wimax config.

Login to your wifi router and disable the following
1.NAT
2.Virtual Circuit
3.Firewall
4.Multicast
5.DHCP

Set your ISP as dynamic ip address

Then configure your wifi by
Interface setup-> Wireless

Thank you.
