Hi,

I am using reliance broadband.

Currently using UStarcom UT-300R2 ADSL MODEM

I need it replaced with a modem with WiFi and Port forwarding features.

Unlike BSNL, reliance need me to login to *reliancebroadband.co.in/ (only work on reliance connection) to get internet.

Can anyone suggest a modem that work with reliance ?

Any tips on getting it working with reliance ?

I too am using reliance broadband, i am currently using TP-Link TD-W8968 which works perfectly with the connection, Before that i was using Asus RT-N14U which also worked great. I think most of the modems will work fine, but i may be wrong.

Any tips on getting it working with reliance ?

You need to set your connection type to DHCP / Dynamic IP.
Also you need to set the VPI to 0 and VCI to 35 in ATM Config.

Thank you Scorrel. So if you connecting multiple PC by WiFi or LAN, you need to login to reliance from any one PC and every other connected device get internet ?

I was planing to get a TP-Link modem, so i will get the one you suggested, looks good. If you don't mind, can you please post screenshot of the configuration page ?

Yes, you only need to login only once.

I'd go for w8961nd. It's basically the same thing as w8968 but is cheaper and has no USB port.

The attachment is not working. Look like digit forum issue, Can you upload to some image host ? If you could provide backup, that will be easy restore :)

Thanks everyone for suggesting w8968. I will go with it. If i can't get it locally, i will try flipkart.

get it from snapdeal(but choose the most rated/reputed seller among all options) as chances of getting the old v1 version is very low compared to flipkart.
