TP-LINK TL-WR740N with BSNL - help needed!

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/tp-link-tl-wr740n-with-bsnl-help-needed.182393/

Hey everyone,

So I just recently bought a TP-LINK TL-WR740N 150Mbps Wireless N Router as my D-Link modem+router setup is not functioning as well as it should. Now I have set up the username and p/w of BSNL in the PPoE settings (it was easy enough) and it's all accurate - but the DSL light simply won't glow. I don't know why that is. It works perfectly well with my D-Link modem.

It's supposed to work well with BSNL, right?

just to be clear is this what you are doing:
telephone line----->dlink modem(in bridge mode/no bsnl username/pw in its setting)---->tp-link router(pppoe mode with bsnl username/pw)

Nope - I plugged DSL into WAN port of TP Link. I can't use the router directly as router/DSL modem?
I'm a total n00b here so bear with me.

This is a router only. You will need additional modem.

modem & router are different things.unless the product title says adsl router it is just a router.you need to connect modem lan port to wan port of router in the scheme i earlier posted.

P.S.which series is your avatar pic from?

Well, ****. Damn my ignorance, anyway thanks everyone!
