After turned down two time by Airtel, for new broadband connection. I opted for tikona, without wireless router. As, I had beetel ADSL2 + wifi router with me, from my last airtel connection. I thought of using it. It turned out to be real easy thing to do. Only 4 steps and wifi setup was done.
1. See the under of the router, you will find a reset mark, just insert and press button, to reset your router to default factory settings.
-or-
1. Open 192.168.1.1 (link to acess, settings page of router), and from there also you can restore to factory settings. I prefer first option as it was fast.
2. After resetting the router to factory settings, open the link 192.168.1.1 to configure it.
3. Click on “Interface Setup -> Internet -> Encapsulation -> ISP -> Bridge Mode.”
4. Now to configure for wifi acess, select “Interface Setup -> LAN -> DHCP -> Disabled”. Or else you can use, router through LAN (Didn’t tested it for more then one system in LAN, as I had only one lappy).
5. Next step is to configure router to be secure, password setting, mac association etc. Read this comment by Rajat Gupta, it tells you more about mac address and it’s coloning, Thank you Rajat for it! 
Never thought that, tikona can use MAC to keep system count.. 
6. Final and important step is to restart the router for changes to take place.
Hope, it was quite helpful to you all. And i think, you will be able to use these steps to configure your ADSL wifi router with any ISp
.
Hi Buddy,
I tried this however unable to connect. can you help ? I am fed up with this and there is no one from Tikona to help me. I would appreciate your help if you can guide me on this post or by calling +91-9999975277. Else send me your mobile on my email – gupta.kosh@gmail.com.
Thanks
dude i also have a same modem with me but the problem is with port as beetel router works on small port and the modem with tikona has big port any solution dude
@Abhishek.. My airtel modem is (450TC1 ADSL2+Router), what I did is.. from tikona machine.. I connected the lan out into one of the lan ports in the modem. And that worked for me.. And my lappy to other lan port on my modem.
@Kaushal … sorry for late reply man!! I didn’t noticed your comment before. You still facing the problem?? if yes, then we can try to find out the solution.
can you show me the image of the router cable connected to the modem..??our cable have 8teeth /cable points in one pin…
I have added the images, what I have done…
From tikona adapter, LAN port Connected LAN port on my airtel wireless modem.
ive seen the images thank you……can you tell me the details of configuring this modem. We have been connecting these pins/ports,but the internet signal in the modem has not been flash,and cannot browsed….??we do not know how to configure….
internet signal in the modem won’t flash, coz, it’s ADSL modem, and cheks for DSL signla.. which is not present.. that’s why we are just converting it to a router… only as connection between tikona and system.
we have connected bt it requires username and password……..??
yes, I think, if you have done reset for the modem, then the username will be admin and password will be password. Try it, hope it works.
can u please help me ut with the wireless part and how to configure the mac add etc…
For wireless MAC address filter : enter the mac addresses of the devices you want to connect through wifi, to know mac address.
1. In windows on the command prompt enter command : ipconfig /all
this will give output something like this :
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR9485WB-EG Wireless Network Adapter
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-00-00-00-00-00
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
Enter the physical address without ‘-’ in the MAC Address in the way it is mentioned.
2. For Linux, you can run command : ifconfig, to get MAC or Physical Address.
3. For phones, look for mac address in wifi settings.
Good to know this…. I will try it today for my ADSL router and will let you know.
@enitinkumar: Hi Dude..Thanks a lot for the above suggestions to How to configure the Beetel ADSL2+Router for Tikona…We tried the whole day from our own but got failure..Just googling about the steps and found ur blog..it really workred for me..Specially the snapshots you have attached, it was so useful..Thanks a ton mannn:)
Welcome Amit..
Hi Nitin, I have Beam connection and Beetel 450 TC1 . Please tell what should I do so that I can use the same beetel device as router only?
Hi Rahul, what ever I have configured is on the side of wireless router only (Beetel 450 TC1), so you can try the step and, then try connecting it to your Beam connection. Best of Luck!!
Hi I did following but no success
1. See the under of the router, you will find a reset mark, just insert and press button, to reset your router to default factory settings.
2. After resetting the router to factory settings, open the link 192.168.1.1 to configure it.
3. Click on “Interface Setup -> Internet -> Encapsulation -> ISP -> Bridge Mode.”
4. Now to configure for wifi acess, select “Interface Setup -> LAN -> DHCP -> Disabled”.
5. For wireless MAC address filter : I enter the mac addresses of the devices
But same result “No Internet Access”… Can you please help me ?
Hi, if you are able to connect to the wifi router after following the above mentioned steps, then you have followed the correct steps. And configured it right. And that’s what was my aim while configuring beetel router, just to provide wireless connection to my devices, for connecting to internet from tikona side, nothing changed for me..
Now, if beam has some issues with it, like it doesn’t recognizes any other devices, other then you registered pc mac id, or something. I don’t have much

Hi Nithin,
How to configure the Beetle 450TC1 ADSL2+Router for both desktop and laptop at a time. i followed your steps and configured,But it is working for either desktop or laptop at a time.could you please help me to connect both desktop and laptop at a time.
Hi Kishore,
Can you elaborate your problem more?
because, with my tikona service I am allowed to access internet from two system at a time, after logging in through tikona portal. But, there is no limit to connection to the wifi router, I have connected my phone, 2 laptops, ps3(both wifi or via lan) all at the same time, with the present configurations.
So, please check if the problem is with the service provider that it allows only 1 system to be connected to internet.
HI
Noble deed you are doing Dude.. Big respect… I could not utlize my 450TC1 ADSL2+ Router for a long time since I got a new Tikona number. after following the steps you said connecting via lan cable after resetting the router I opened the link at http://192.168.1.1/ it asks for username and password.. I dont know how to get past this I tried Admin Admin, Admin Password User Pass combo .. to no avail… Please Help me ….
Hi Arthaf,
I just shared my experience, and it’s great to see it’s kind of useful to many!
Thanks for your nice words..
try username : “admin” and password : “password” , after resetting this is the password for me!
Password worked like a breeze… after I pressed the reset button for 15 secs….. then followed all the steps you mentioned…. But now it asks for a network security key . I have no clue what it is..
arthaf, I think it’s asking for network security key when you are trying to connect to the wifi network, then it’s asking for the WEP Key#1 mentioned like this in the http://enitinkumar.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/wireless.png pic.. check what you have entered there.. and if you want to change it.. you need to disconnect from tikona.. restart your router and then again login to it using lan cable and open 192.168.1.1 again and configure that password. Hope this helps you!
try removing tikona lan cable from the router, then again restart the router, this time it won’t take ip address from tikona, and you will be able to access 192.168.1.1..
and if this too doesn’t work, just start from beginning.. means.. from resetting your router!
Dear Nitin,
.. do mail
My WIFI is ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable….
Cant thank you enough for having helped me out. Had almost dumped the router which I was so used to due to the connection change after the tikona and airtel guys dint bother to help.
Like you said I restarted the process just like you had advised. Every step you described was crystal clear and worked so well. You are a true savior.
Thank God for having sent people like you to us mortals.
Whenever you are in Delhi please email me arthaf@gmail.com. . .The treat is on me

Hey Nitin,
I have got another connection(spectranet) not Tikona, but again is through LAN. Here I got a static IP, subnet mask,gateway and a DNS server. Could you tell me where exactly should I put those values, while configuring the router, so that I can use my beetle adsl router to good use?
Hi,
Can you let me know ;
1. What steps you have tried??
2. And after entering values of static IP, subnet mask etc, do you still need to sign in?
Hi NItin,
I tried giving IP, subnet mask, dhcp(i gave it same as dns) and dns in the LAN section.
Still no change.
I tried your way of disabling dhcp also with no benefit.
I tried putting the values of IP etc. in “internet” tab. that too did not work.
My connection when connected directly to the comp via lan port needs me to change the ip, gateway, subnet masks of lan adapter and further I need to login to spectranet page which will be auto directed when i type any link in browser.
While changing the router IPs, I am not able to get that login prompt in browser, but it just says no internet
Hi ,
I think disabling dhcp and bridge mode, should have worked in your case too. But, if it didn’t then sorry man, I don’t know what else to do, that can work!
Other things like configuring it with static IP address won’t work, as it requires you to sign in from portal. I don’t remember properly, but I think with the case of airtel we used to save airtel’s username and password to automatically sign in, may be you can try it the airtel way, reset your router and send static IP, and username password there.
Just try once more disabling dhcp + bridge mode + configure your system with static IP etc values given to you. But I feel it won’t be of much help as at a time only one system can have that IP. No multiple systems won’t be supported.
Dear Nitin,
Thanks a lot for the information above. After following the steps , i am able to use tikona connection through wi fi and LAN but there is one problem, every device which i use to connect through my modem ask for login information of tikona and i can’t use internet on more than two devices at a time. One thing more does mac filtering ( under WAN) help in anyway except protection ? Can you please help ????
Hi Rajat,
That’s the problem with tikona, I too have to sign in from every system, and max two is supported so have to logout from one to connect to some other..
Yes, you are right MAC filtering is only for protection, nothing else.
Thanks a lot Nitin !!!
But i have a good news…you can connect more than two device using tikona and TC450. GO to your network connection in Control Panel.
Now right click the LAN or WAN connection through which you are connected.
Now go to Properties> configure > Advanced > Network Address ( it may be by a different name in some cases) .
Enter the same MAC address (12 digits- B8-xx-xx-xx-xx-EC) in all your devises like this. N you are all set !!!!
Log in from as many Laptops or Desktops as you like just change your MAC address like this.
Note : you can get the MAC add of your device by going to command prompt and enter the command :
ipconfig/all
or
getmac
Enjoy Everyone !!!!!
By the way this is called MAC cloning.
Thank you Rajat, never thought tikona might be using mac address!! will try it..
my pleasure mate !!
Hi Rajat,
I really appreciate ur effort and i guess,i am having the same trouble so need ur help.
As u know that tikona is using MAC address for filtering and with my plan at max 3 device can login simultaneously .
i was already using 3 laptops but need to connect the 4th one also. so i tried to use MAC cloning of the 4th one with one of the laptop. cloning was successful but not able to access the net on both the systems simultaneously.
1. both systems are taking the same ip after cloning
2. both systems are taking different dhcp server address.
when i connect with cloned system,proving the mother system not connect,net is accessible.
but when i connect mother system,cloned system starts reacting otherwise means net is
unaccessible.
Awaiting ur kind response.
##thanx in advance.
You can statically assigned IP to your systems. Since you have upper limit of 3 Mac address, use 2 as normal and clone one for all desktops which are supposed to be connected with same network.
i am also going to buy tikona connection and i have beetel 450tc1 router…..
how is the service and speed of tikona….
tikona service depends area wise! it’s ok kind! not too good not bad!
iam having a 450tc1 router with me. i have done the reset on the router by clicking the reset button. but when i am opening the http://192.168.1.1 it is asking username and password. i tried with admin and password but its not opening. can you plsssssssss help ?
default username and password for the router is admin and password respectively, I don’t think it’s something different!
did u reset the modem correctly. u hv to hold the reset button for 10-15 sec.
use username: admin & password: admin or 1234
Hi tried with the user name and password provided by you and still it did not worked. and promped me with and error message as below.
” Protected Object
This object on the RomPager server is protected ”
Please let me know how can I login and get started with my Wifi connection. I am very upset after getting this modem.
Hello Nithin,
I am trying to configure a Beetel 450 bx1 router, but could not find the hard reset pin any where. Is it possible to post a photo of the same from Beetel 450 Bx1, if you could.
Thank you!
Guruprasad
Hi Guruprasad,
hope this image is of some help to you!
Hi Nitin
i have the same router Beetel 450 TC1-ADSL2. i want to make wifi connection with TIKONA ISP.
initially i tried my own methods but failed then i saw your blog and start following your steps but not able to connect.i tried your steps 4-5 times from beginning.
tikona customer care and beetel care both are not assisting me on this.
i am using Dell-Latitude model laptop with windows-Xp service pack-2.
can you please help.??
After seeing above comments,my only hope is you.
## humble request.
Thanks in advance
Hi Ankur,
surely would try to help you. can you tell me, where are you exactly failing in getting it done?
After following all your steps,i put in the tikona lan cable in lan-1 port(actually tried all the ports) . after all this i am able to connect to wifi with system getting the IP address.
but not able to browse internet.
i tried to open 1.254.254.254(tikona’s user home page to login) but not getting results but i am able to open 192.168.1.1 when connected to wifi.
After following the steps, you won’t be able to open 192.168.1.1. And system will get IP in series 1.x.x.x. Then only you will be able to login into tikona’s user home page. After configuring the router, don’t forget to restart it.
I tried this 10-12 times already but getting the IP address like 192.168.1.2
any other method to set the desired ip and able to open tikona home page?
Hey Thanx a ton buddy..!!
u r a true savior. i got the issue because of not restating the router after configuring.
now it ON
God bless u dear..!!
welcome Ankur!!
Hi Nitin,
thanx again for ur previous help on connecting with router but this time i am having some other issue.
as u already know that tikona is using MAC address for filtering and with my plan at max 3 device can login simultaneously .
i was already using 3 laptops but need to connect the 4th one also. so i tried to use MAC cloning of the 4th one with one of the laptop. cloning was successful but not able to access the net on both the systems simultaneously.
1. both systems are taking the same ip after cloning
2. both systems are taking different dhcp server address.
when i connect with cloned system,proving the mother system not connect,net is accessible.
but when i connect mother system,cloned system starts reacting otherwise means net is
unaccessible.
Awaiting ur kind response.
##thanx in advance.
Hi Ankur,
so no idea what to do in this case, may be Rajat Gupta will be able to help you, ask him, comment on his post.
Sorry, I coudn’t try mac cloning, cause win 7 was not allowing it…
hi..can you tell me how to connect tikona wifi to xbox live???…i am using my personal beetle ADSL2 +router(wifi)…
Hi.. I tried with my PS3, went to settings and internet, and configured wifi connection. Then using browser, I logged into tikona service. Not, much of idea about xbox interface.
Hi Nitin

i m using Dell-Latitude laptop with windows-xp sp2.
Please help me with this.
##Humble Request.
where do you get stuck ?
Hi Nitin
I am getting a Page saying Device error while connecting. I even restarted the router while connecting.
Regards,
VIjay Raghav
Hi Vijay,
After following all the steps you are getting this error?
Hello Nitin.
I am able to configure and get Tikona IP from Router, however I am not getting Ping response or for that matter open any website’s. Not even Tikona’s login page. I am running on windows 7
Hi Nisarg,
Try connecting directly through the tikona lan wire, see the IP series, and check while connecting through wan too you get the same IP, if it’s so, then there should not be any problem while getting tikona login page. I use, windows 7, so didn’t configured it specially for tikona~!
Hi Nitin,
I have Airtel LAN connection and I wanted to make it wifi. I called Airtel and they said they dont provide wifi routers. So I bought Buffalo Airtstation router. Now I have Airtel modem and router. Now Airtel guys say that they cant configure Buffalo router. Please help I dont know how to configure this router.
Hi Randheer,
Just connect the wifi router to the Lan port of the airtel modem. I don’t think you need to do anything extra!
Airtel guys provide wifi routers too, but don’t go for it, as you will have to configure them again for any other ISP.
bro cant configure it. It seems like I have to buy a new Beetel router and throw this Buffalo router.
sorry man!! couldn’t help you out..
dear nitin kumar thanks
most welcome sir!!
I was able to proceed till disabling DHCP after that what we have to do to set MAC address. Because I am setting my laps WLAN Mac I’d there and it’s conn but not able to get tikona login page could someone pls help
Setting MAC address is not so important, if you want to keep your wifi more secure then only go for it, else not needed.
Compare the IP addresses, in case when you directly connect the lan wire from tikona modem to your lappy, and when you connect through wifi. They should belong to same ip group. if that’s not the case, try again all the steps, and don’t forget to restart your wifi router.
thank you so much nithin i got the wifi on my laptop, I checked the IP on the LAN connection which was in the format 10.192.xx.x, and when trying with wifi is like 192.168.xx.xx, so i went inside the router page and after that i chaged router ip from 192.168.xx.xx to 10.192.xx.xx, after i am able to login and use wifi on my latop. but i am not able to do the same on my iphone and the other lap its giving the tikona log in page on the both but its telling on both authentication failed as number of maximum allowed of session reached… and also i am not able to access the beetle page using 192.168 nor 10.192. and what should be done in this case. if you could help me i would really be greatfull.
Thank you once again for helping me to set up wifi atleast in one laptop
Hi Arun,
Just confirm once, if tikona has given you access for one system or what? if it’s so, then you will have to try MAC cloning, though it didn’t worked for me, but you still can try.
Other than that, I didn’t configured my router with any IP, I just selected dynamic IP, try it! not sure, but configuring IP from your side might be the problem.
Hi Could you please help me in configuring iBall WRC300N router with Tikona.
Hi, I searched for iBall WRC300N, and got this user manual, http://www.iballbaton.com/Download/125/Manual.pdf , go to the page no 13, – it shows selecting from ‘Ethernet WAN’/'ADSL WAN’. Ethernet WAN and from the next page options, Dynamic IP combination should be what you are looking for. Hope it works, try! and let us know, if it works
I have configured with the above procedure and successfully connected to internet.But now i want to configure for all my 3 laptops and tablet.Can u tell me about the configuration
And when i enter more than one mac address in mac association.i can redirected to 192.168.1.1
sorry, am not able to understand your second question…
“And when i enter more than one mac address in mac association.i can redirected to 192.168.1.1″
Just connect to the wifi, and from each of your laptop or table, you need to login to tikona! but, you will be able to connect, as many tikona allows, like for me tikona allows upto two connections.
Hey Nitin…..
Today in afternoon i just ordered for Netgear router coz Tikona engineer said that the MTNL 450 TC1 router can’t be used as a WIFI router and will have to purchase a new WIFI router.
I tried once from my end but failed then after a long time today I finally searched for best WIFI router and placed the order on Flipkart.com, still somewhere I was unsatisfied…. it was just where I googled and found your blog.
I read your whole blog but unfortunately couldn’t try it out as I was in office and even didn’t cancelled the order from flipkart.com as I was little sceptical. Just now I came home and did step by step the way you have explained… I must say you are truly genius and like Amitabh says in kaun banega corepati “Gyaan Hi Appka Haq Dilaati Hai” which u had shown by proving all worn whoever said that 450TC1 WIFI+ADSL Router couldn’t be used in Tikona Broadband.
Hat’s off buddy….. and appreciate your knowledge and moreover your kindness by sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank You Once Again
Manohar Poojari
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words Manohar.
It feels really great my simple blog has been a great help to you all.. cheers!! 
Hi Nitin,
Nice job by the way. its hard to find hack support on indian devices.
i have the same prob as Arun.
“”ARUN says:
January 8, 2013 at 2:34 pm
thank you so much nithin i got the wifi on my laptop, I checked the IP on the LAN connection which was in the format 10.192.xx.x, “”
not able to connet the phone to wifi. tried cloning the mac. no luck.
also i am not able to connect to the adsl 2 page. 192.168.1.1.
checked the default gateway. gave a 10. series ip.
i have connected the 450tc1 to another router (belkin). both routers are allowing access to the net.
but not able to connect anything apart from 1 laptop.
please advice.
Sorry Arun,
I have posted, the problem I faced, and it’s resolution!! But, I didn’t faced the issue in connecting multiple devices. to my router, I can connect as many as I want. But, tikona has given me internet access for just two devices, so, other devices are just connected to wifi network!
Didn’t faced, problem that you are mentioning, am also not very clear what went wrong at your end. So sorry! no idea on how to resolve it!
looks like we have to clone the router mac to match the system. and enable the dhcp in the router and then we can connect multiple device.
sir pls help i cannt get into the configuration for the givn ip address 192.168.1.1.. pls help…
Hi Abhay,
what is the issue that you are facing? not able to access 192.168.1.1 ?? if it’s like then, then try resetting your modem, you need to press the button till all the lights on the modem don’t go off!
Then, connect to the modem through lan/wifi you will will be able to access 192.168.1.1. And don’t forget to remove all other lan wires, except the one connected to the system through which you are trying to configure it.
it is showing that firefox cannt find server. when i connect the net via 3g dongle and then try to access the ip it prompt for username and password. and when i entered admin and password it promts again… pls sir help me out….
I am not sure, by 3g dongle, which IP you are trying to access..
you need to access 192.168.1.1 for your router, and 3g dongle won’t be able to connect to it.. reset will work, once you reset, you will get 192.168.1.1 page. Try properly resetting your router.
can we use th beetel router after all settings done to use wifi on mobile
yepp, it works for me..
bt, keep in mind, tikona has something device associated list too, first it allows you to connect through limited number of devices to internet at a time, like for me it’s just 2. Secondly, if you have tried to access internet through multiple devices, after some time it tells max limit reached for associated devices.
Hi Nitin,
I read your blog, also used one of your pictures to post at India BB forum:
Beam Broadband – Howto PC plus Laptop:
http://www.indiabroadband.net/cable-internet-services/44591-beam-broadband-howto-pc-plus-laptop.html
Could you throw your inputs on the approach? Is it correct? How about Network settings?
Thanks a lot

http://screenshots.portforward.com/Beetel/450BX1/
interface is really different !!
please give me some time, need to see all the pics!!
Dear i have doen your prescribed settings but the connection is again and again disconnecting and reconnecting.
Please Help ASAP.
No, idea about it Sunny! I some time too face this issue, internet goes for some time and automatically it comes back, through out the time am remaining connected to the wifi, it’s something to do with tikona only!
Hello NItin,
Good to see that your post helped people a lot !!
I am also planning to take Tikona. What I do not understand is the fact that Tikona already provides us with a wireless connectivity which helps us to connect our devices (wireless-ly)
So what is the use of configuring the Beetel 450TC1 to give wifi connectivity, when wireless connectivity is already provided by Tikona ?
What I understand from your post is that you are using a Ethernet [LAN] cable, to connect Tikona’s modem’s Ethernet Port (as you have shown in figure) and to the Beetel’s Ethernet Port. This way you are getting the Internet connection on your Beetel Modem, which can then be used by other devices connecting to your Beetel Modem. Is this correct ?
If yes, then I would say that this way you are just extending Tikona’s wireless connectivity.
What I want is that, I don’t want to use Tikona’s Modem, as I have a Beetel Modem with me. So, I don’t want to purchase their modem, thus saving installation cost. Now, what is the way to configure my modem ?
Remember, Tikona is not giving modem since I am not asking for it. So your diagram of LAN to LAN connection will not work.
I would be really helpful if you can guide me on this.
Hello Arunav,
Tikona gives both type of modem wireless and lan based, mine is lan based. And for wireless modem they ask for around 1.7k extra. But, from my previous connection I had beetel ADSL modem, so I wanted to use it, and succeeded in doing, so I shared my experience how I did that here.
Am not extending tikona’s wireless connectivity, I just made my wired lan to wifi lan.. and this wireless lan is connected to tikona’s lan. Hope I made my point clear
There will be a base installation cost, that you can’t avoid, only using your beetel modem you can save what they charge extra for their wifi modem which is not default package part. In the base installation, they will put a wireless receiver on the roof, and connect it to an adapter cum modem inside your home. Now, in the pic the modem you see which is connected to beetel modem, is the adapter that does both supplying power to the wireless receiver on the roof and also giving a lan based connection.
The LAN to LAN connection will surely work, as they will give you a LAN connection to connect to your system, if they don’t then think how you will be able to access internet in your system. If you have planned to get tikona, then let them do there part, once their configurations are up. Then try the above mentioned step to get a wifi connectivity…
Oh… that was indeed an information for me. I was not aware that Wifi is not the default installation option for Tikona.
Thanks NItin.. and thanks for quick reply too… !!
I too have same modem as yours and will use the steps you mentioned to enable Wifi
Thanks !!
most welcome
Anyone tried/trying the same device with Beam?
PC connects to Internet via Router (Bridge + DHCP disabled) as switch. IP config:
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 183.82.xxx.xxx
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.192.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 183.x.xxx.x
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 183.x.xxx.x
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 123.xxx.xx.xx
123.xxx.xx.xx
Whereas on Laptop, I’m able to see and connect to Wireless SSID. But when I open any website, it says:
“ADSL Modem link is down!”
Laptop, IPconfig I see in this fashion:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1
Is this because laptop can’t get DNS Servers? I don’t get what’s happening. I could only access the Internet from Laptop just for once. Next day, it’s gone. I could only connect to the SSID but no Internet!
IMO, this device acting strange with Beam network.
Hi,
The method which Nitin has given to us is generic and not bound for Tikona. This is what I believe. He has given us a way to make your Internet connection, which is wired over LAN, go Wireless [WiFi] by using the Wifi Modem of your choice.
So, if Beam provides you with the Lan wire, just connect your Beam’s LAN wire to your own Wifi Modem’s Ethernet port and follow the steps NItin provided.. They are really helpful.
And don’t forget to share the feedback..
Thanks

I tried a lot since last week:
#Beam fiber cable goes into Router’s LAN1 port (RJ-45)
#From Router’s LAN2 port, Ethernet cable goes into PC (RJ-45)
I tried a lot of settings. Only once I could able to access the internet on Laptop, also on PC. Of course, Beam doesn’t web authentication allow multiple logins – yet to test Mac address solution to over come this. What’s puzzling is Laptop connects to the SSID but no internet!
Internet on PC works (bridge mode) fine but this isn’t not the priority. I’m looking to find a way to provide internet on my Moms laptop through my PC beam connection. So I need this Router to do the job. Previously with the same Router, we used to connect on multiple machines using Airtel broadband.
Do I need to enable any service on Windows XP? I’m not really sure.
Hi and thanks nitin kumar,it all worked like charm but i am only able to connect 2 devices at a time and not more than that. A solution would be appreciated.(Tikona engineer came to my house to fix my line, he said port forwarding might help but i did not get that ,of course he did not do it for me)
Hi Ankit,
Sorry, I haven’t tried connecting more then 2 devices. and also I don’t have idea about port forwarding. I ll try sometime and if I find solution then would share here. If you come to find any solution, do share with us.
Hi Nitin,
I have a question for you.
I am using Tata Photon+ with a TPLINK 3G/4G Wireless N Router TL-MR3220.
I have a spare Binatone 4 Port ADSL2+ Router with Wi-Fi(DT850W – 150Mbps).
The TPLINK WIFI-router is attached on 1st floor of my house and on the ground floor
I am not getting good wifi signal. I am thinking of using the Binatone Router to
extend the wifi to ground floor. The Binatone Router does not have a WAN port.
Can we connect TPLINK and Binatone routers through a LAN cable and setup
Binatone router to take input from TPLINK throuch LAN and act as a wifi
router for ground floor?
Is this possible? If so, what settings should be done.
Thanks,
Gaurav
Hi Gaurav,
as I feel, you just want to use your Binatone ADSL2 router as a bridge. So, you can try the settings that I have done. Interface would be different. But, you should be just looking to configure your Binatone router in bridge mode, and also dhcp disabled.
Earlyer I was using the BSNL broadband mordem ADSL-2 for the internet.
( input type : RJ45 connector
Out put : Ethernet port connetced to my computer)
Wifi : Available )
Now I am using the cable internet service
(Input : coaxial cable
output : Ethernet port connetced to my computer
Wifi : Not Available )
Problem : As the cuurent cable connection internet modem dont have the wi-fi , I am unable to connect my samsung moble phone.
Help required:Kindly guide how to make my BSNL broadband mordem ADSL-2 as a router
just try enabling bridge mode for you router, and also disable dhcp for the router.
Tried the steps. Worked like a charm. Thanks mate, god bless.

Im getting this peculiar msg and i couldn’t get the login page with above settings. Pls reply
this should not come, as we have enabled bridge mode.. just retry the steps, and don’t forget to restart the router after the settings are done.
Have done it. FYI..im not a noob here. Tried success with DLink 2750U already. Pls help
HI Nitin
i had been trying to configure my ADSL router for long time, but never get succeed.
i went through your blog and configured my router as you have mentioned. but always got
“Your ADSL router not configured properly” error
one day i waited for few minute and then tried……Amazinggggggggggggg its workinggggg
ji would like to say that to all users you might get this error…just wait for few minutes and see the MAGICCCCC
This Wireless Router is quite weird, wasted a lot of time over time. Nevertheless, it’s a done deal now. My problem solved. Beam service is available on PC and Laptop, yet to test simultaneous connections.
How to allow certain ip for all services in beeteel routers?
Don’t think there is any option for IP address related filtering!
Hi Nitin
I have a D-link ADSL2+ router. Could you pls advice how to configure it for Tikona.
Hello Balyan,
Just try to set it up in bridge mode, and disabling dhcp. Step 3 & 4 are important. Try to find interface to set it up for you router.
Tried to reset the modem but still no go on my air tel modem.could you please tell us the procedure to connect it.if I reset my modem will it shows the wireless device as admin?
Resetting works, try for some time, it’s not very important to reset. It’s just good to reset to factory setting before trying your own settings.
your second question “will it shows the wireless device as admin?”, sorry, bt am not able to get, what you are asking about!
by nitish———need help!! I USED to bsnl broadband.but i switch to tikona internet.please tell me can i use my iball adsl2 router with tikona?? also tell me can i use 3-4 pc with 1 tikona ID.
Just try to set your modem up in bridge mode, and disabling dhcp. Step 3 & 4 are important. Try to find interface to set it up for you router.
Regarding connecting more pc from tikona, you will have to try mac address cloning, though it didn’t worked for me. So, am also not able to connect more then 2 devices at a time..
Thanks man!!!!
Hey, So what I’m trying to do is:
Have a Digisol router which takes a LAN cable as input for the internet and then creates WiFi. I’m trying to extend the range of wifi , and trying to connect a Beetel ADSL2 router to it, (through cable or any other way possible) so that the second (Beetel) router acts as a repeater of sorts.
Completely failing to do this, could you please help?
Thanks.
Abhishek.
