Are you able to search the tp link modem via the laptop? Also please mention the whole model number of the modem.

Have you tried resetting the modem? It might have something to do with its firmware though.

BSNL Siemens and TP-Link are different problems or are you trying to connect them simultaneously. That is BSNL Siemens connected to TP-Link and TP-Link handling Wi-Fi ??

Also this thread is better suited in Networking section.
