I have a BSNL internet connection (RJ11) so how can I use it on my new TP Link wifi router which has RJ45 cable port?
The previous answer has already answered your question. I would like to explain things here.Rj11 and rj45 are different in lot of properties. As said Rj11 is nothing but your telephone line cable. This interface uses telephone line's unused bandwidth for transmission of data alongside voice. But here we have to remember one thing that just like your telephone voice transmission, data transmission over this is analog, i.e. the graph that you get is a wave form with every possible value from 0–1. This network interface is commonly known as DSL.Now, as we know computers, or for that matter any electronic, computes and understands only binary, 0 and 1,and nothing in between. Its either everything or nothing. So what a rj11 modem router does is it first converts analog signal to a digital one, the modem function. Then the router takes this digital signal and transmits this in the environment for the electronics to catch it.On the contrary, a signal coming through rj45 is already in binary, digital form, and it is not needed to be change into anything. Therefore, such routers only have routing capabilities and not that of modem and hence do not take rj11 as input.My suggestion, if you want to use your tp link router get a dsl modem and connect it to your tp link via ethernet.Hope now you have some clarity over both types of networking interface.Thanks.
How to connect an ADSL Modem to a wireless router with an ethernet cable?
The SmartAX MT882 is not just a modem. It is also a router. You cannot have two active routers on a single network. They fight each other and crash the network.So trying to connect it to a Siemens router is going to be a little different from the standard connection. First connect your computer to the Siemens router using one of the LAN ports. Access the router using your web browser as shown in the manual. In the router setup screens, find the settings for the DHCP server and disable it. Then set the IP address for the router to an address that is on the same sub net as the router, but that does not conflict ++++++++++++++++++++++ Example Default SmartAX MT882 address 192.168.0.1 Default SmartAX MT882 DHCP server range 192.168.0.100 - 108 Default Siemens address 10.0.0.1 Make the IP address of the Siemens unit 192.168.0.20 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the SmartAX MT882 to a LAN port on the Siemens. The WAN port is not used You have now converted your Siemens into a wireless access point and switch, while the SmartAX MT882 acts as the router for the system And use PATCH cables, not crossover
Why am I only downloading at 1.50mbs on 12mbs connection?
Your internet service is sold you you in Bits. You purchased a 12 MegaBit speed package from your ISP. Downloads are calculated in Bytes though. There are 8 Bits in 1 Byte. 12 (your internet speed) divided by 8 (the number of bits in a byte) equals 1.50. 1.50 MegaBytes is your maximum download speed. So you're getting exactly what you're paying for. If you want to go faster, purchase more speed from your ISP.
How to force ADSL modem to connect at maximum speed available?
Short answer: no. It is not possible. You cannot control the throughput of the modem or your DSL connection. I am curious about how you are determining your speed? Is it just that websites start loading slower? Or are you running an actual throughput test with no other software accessing the Internet? In any case, there are a few things you can do to get the most out of your Internet connection. First, don't use the USB cable. Get a patch cable and connect the modem to your computer's network card. Best to get a router as you said. I just did a test on my own modem. I get close to 7 Mbps (actual throughput) with a direct connection to my PC's network card or with a router. However, when using USB, that drops down to about 4.5 Mbps. That's a huge loss just for using a USB cable. Since your connection is only a fraction the speed of mine, I would guess that makes a big difference for you. Second, be aware that if you have any software that does automatic updates, or if you have any malware (Trojans, spyware, etc.) that is downloading/uploading garbage, this can account for getting good throughput right after reconnecting the modem and then seeing a drop-off after a few seconds/minutes. It isn't that your connection became slower; you just are transferring other data which is using up your bandwidth. Third, you will never get the full connection speed that your ISP advertises. There is overhead, signal degradation due to distance, old wiring, etc. If you are getting 75-85% of the advertised speed in actual throughput, that's pretty good. Especially for a low speed like yours. I get about 90% of my advertised speed in throughput on a good day. Try testing your actual speed against several servers: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Hope all this helps.
How do I avoid frequent disconnection of BSNL Broadband?
BSNL is the leading ADSL Broadband service provider of India. It provides high speed & stabilized broadband connection in rural as well as urban areas across the country over Copper pair by ADSL Technology. But as BSNL uses old POTS underground copper pair for providing the ADSL broadband internet connection thus customer faces few problems in internet connection like frequent disconnection or slow speed problem due to excessive impedance in Copper loop especially during rainy season.One of the main problems that we find in accessing BSNL broadband is frequent disconnection of internet during surfing. At the time of disconnection when you will see the Modem, then you will notice that DSL/ ADSL LED is blinking. There are various suspected reasons for LED blinking.Reasons for frequent disconnection of BSNL Broadband:High Impedance in Copper Pair coming from BSNL CO to your premises, resulting Low SNR Margin.More than technological distance limit from BSNL CO to your premises, resulting Higher Attenuation. (NOTE: Now a days BSNL providing ADSL 2+ broadband technology and for which limit is maximum 4 to 5 KM in urban areas)Large number of joints in either UG Cable (Underground cable) or in between DP to customer premises.Faulty Splitter either at customer premises or at BSNL CO.Faulty ADSL Modem or Power Adapter at customer premises.Steps to fix the frequent disconnection of BSNL Broadband:We should solve our case one by one by taking above reasons, as same reasons may not be applicable to each and every one.If your premise is very far away from the BSNL Exchange or CO than the technological distance limit, then you have to bear it. As there is no any concrete solution for it.High Impedance in Copper Pair coming from BSNL CO to your premises, resulting Low SNR Margin.To check this reason you have to access your Modem through Modem IP: http://192.168.1.1User name :admin (Default)Password : admin (Default)Then go to overview or DSL Status page to check your SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) Margin as well as Attenuation data.
What type of internet connection is best? PPPoE, Static IP, DHCP, PPTP, L2TP, or Telstra Cable?
Don't monkey around with settings in your router if you don't know what you're doing. Use what is required by your ISP and stop worrying as none of those are necessarily "better" than the others.
