My previous article was about setup Internet connection on Teracom router. Now it is the time to configure wireless and wireless security in Teracom wireless router. BSNL provides Teracom modem with routing facility. So, though it is a modem we can connect multiple computers to it if DHCP server is enabled on configuration page. Setup wireless in Teracom wireless router is as simple as selecting the radio Wireless Network. In Wireless settings page we can select the proper wireless encryption to secure Teracom wireless network from external intruders. Teracom wireless router has the facility to enable MAC Address Filtering to provide additional security. Let us check step by step how to setup wireless and wireless security in Teracom Router.
1. Login to BSNL Teracom Wireless Modem
Please note that default Login IP address of Teracom Router is 192.168.1.1 but if you change that IP address, you should use the new IP address to login Teracom router setup page.
If you are looking for steps to setup Internet on your Teracom Modem, click on the link below.
Configure Internet Connection On BSNL Teracom Modem
2. Go to Teracom Wireless Settings Page
Click on Wireless Network which located under Configuration tab.
3. Enable Wireless Security on Teracom Router
Teracom wireless router supports following wireless encryptions.
If you are a home user and just need a security and not worried much about it, the easier one is WEP 64 Bit Encryption. If you select this as the security option , you can type any hexa decimal number ( 0-9 and A-F) as the wireless key. Don't forget to click on confirm button. Now onwards you need to enter this ten digit key to log in to your wireless network.
If you are very much conscious about the security of your wireless network, I recommend you to use WPA or WPA2. Then you should select Wi-Fi Protected Access or Wi-Fi Protected Access2 from the drop down menu. You can select authentication mode for Teracom Wireless network as PSK and enter the Pass Phrase. After this without this Pass Phrase no computers are allowed to join your wireless network.

Thank you for your wireless configuration tutorial. I have a doubt how can I add WPA Wireless encryption in my BSNL modem ? It is from teracom
I am now using WEP 64 bit encryption in teracom modem but don't think it is enough ? Can I upgrade to WPA without any issue ?
@ Hari
Yes, we can enable WPA protection in BSNL Teracom modem. While selecting the wireless security settings you should select Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and create a pass phrase for it.
I always recommend you to enable WPA in your Teracom modem than enabling WEP in it. WPA is more secure compared to WEP.
Hi. I have a PSP and BSNL's teracom modem cum router. I have made all the settings in the router for wireless. WPA - PSK enabled. Configured the same and got an error >>> Cannot connect. Will I need to open the ports as well. A response on shaikh_amin1234@hotmail.com would be truly appreciated. Thanks again :)
Portable Play Station is compatible with 802.11B standard only. Please set your wireless network to 802.11B only and try to connect to the network.
If still your Portable Play Station is not connecting to the Teracom wireless network, you may degrade your wireless security to WEP. It is because WPA sometimes shows compatibility and connectivity issues.
Hop this will help.

Hi G,
Could you please explain a little bit more about your issue?
sir when i try to connect ma phone having wireless to my modem it doesnot connect......after pressing d 10digit key it says that connection no longer available...plz help me out...my phone is nokia C3
Hi Kavi,
Some of the tips to fix the connection issues between your BSNL Wireless modem and nokia C3:
1. Disable the security (wireless encryption ) and try to connect.
Check whether you can connect or not
2. Change the Wireless network Name and Wireless channel.
Say Wireless network name (SSID) = Kavi
Wireless channel (1,6 or 11)
3. Make sure your Modem has latest firmware
I recommend you to follow the thread for more help.

2. Ping 4.2.2.2
Please tell me what is the result.
and check whether you type the correct user name and password given from BSNL. If you type wrong user name or password while configuring the teracom modem, you will not be able to access Internet.
hi

Thanks a ton.. I was able to set up my internet connection. Your blog was really very helpful.
Thanks again!
I am happy to see this post helped you.
Hi Rev
the Security Key which u r entering for security purpose, all should be entered numbers only not mixing letters and numbers.. if u are encripting with 64 bit also u should enter 10 digits only...
Thanks Gopi for adding value to this post. WEP 64 bit encryption can use Hexa decimal keys and it should be 10 digits. Thanks for pointing our Rev's key's error (11 digits ).
@siju George... hey hi dude u r welcome... no need of saying thanks sharing of thoughts and ideas will help in lot of way's.....
Thanx,that was pretty neat.My need is slightly different and i wonder if you can provide any input to me in this regard.I have Type 2 Teracom wireless Modem and i intend to do port forwarding,as i dont know nothing about port forwarding,i am unsure about what other details to provide you with,in case u require more details,kindly specify.
You can find port forwarding option in BSNL Type 2 teracom modem under security tab.
not so helpful. hexadecimal key can not be generated
Hi Anand,
If you select the option direct key, you should manually give a 10 digit hexa decimal key.
Eg: 1234567890
Hello Siju
I have got a wireless printer (Dell V313)which I am not able to pair with the network. I have a wireless internet connection and a wireless enabled laptop (Dell).
I am could connect my laptop to the internet without any problem. But my lap is not getting connected with the printer. The printer's WiFi signal is searching for signals but it is not able to find a device.
Do I need a router for connecting the printer wirelessly?
Hope I have not confused too much?
Anoob
Your Wireless Printer should have an IP address if you want to access printer from laptop wirelessly. So I recommend you to add a static IP to your printer in the same IP range of your Access Point. Then your printer may connect the wireless network. Please follow this step and if the issue is not fixed write back with details about your network diagram.
Thank you Siju for the suggestion.
To be frank, I never understood what you suggested to do. However, I tried to connect through the modem and it worked..
Eearlier I was trying to connect the printer directly to the laptop; in vain. Now, I switched on the wireless modem ( It is a router as per the Dept JTO), the printer and the laptop and tried to set up the printer as per the installation procedure. The printer got connected.
Anyway thank you for the suggestions.
Anoob.
When I typed 'admin' as user name and password, a message ''authentication error'' is displayed. what will be the reason? please help me.
I am glad to see that your issue is fixed by yourself.
Authentication error means you typed a wrong combination (or wrong)of Username/password to login your BSNL modem.
Even when I typed the username and password as admin correctly, it shows authentication error.
what may be the reason?
i have a samsung galaxy s2 . i m not able to connect even with the correct password entered,it just connects n then disconnects...
thanks a lot dude.....god bless!!
Hi... I'm trying to connect to wireless on the terracom but it doesn't get past authenticating. I turned of authentication but it still doesn't connect. I've never used wireless so far on this modem. What could be the issue?
user name: "admin" and password: "admin" does not work it seems. the dialog box, just keep me asking the username password. can you just a alternative way?

Hi Jagan,
It is normal, modem produces heat while it is working. So better make sure there is a proper air circulation.
Hi Amit,
If you find hardware issues with your BSNL modem, you should contact the local BSNL exchange. They will either repair or replace your faulty modem without any additional charges since it is under warranty period.
I have a Teracom BSNL NON-Wireless CPE/Router. I have connected a DLink Access Point to one of the four lan ports on the BSNL Router. I am able to connect to the DLink Wireless network from my wireless laptop, and dial the internet from the BSNL dialer and then browse. The 192.168.1.1 doesn't open the Teracon/BSNL webpage. I get a DNS error. I want to configure the DLink AP to autodial the internet whenever someone tries to browse a website after connecting to the DLink Network. Please help with steps as I am not networking guy.

Hi,
i have bsnl teracom wifi router and i have got a new MTS usb modem. how can i configure it, kinly do a favour to me.
the username and id admin does not open the configuration. then what to do
devinder
You cannot direct connect MTS USB modem to Teracom wifi router. However, using ICS you can provide Internet to Teracom and use it as a Wifi AP for other computers.
Hi Devinder,
If the default combination does not works, you might have configured a different user name and passowrd. So please try to remember that other wise the only option is reset and reconfigure the modem. But after reset you will loose all previous configuration.

Thanks I was looking for a way to secure the wireless in BSNL modem. They didn't tell me how to secure the wireless and I know my neighbour was hacking my BSNL wireless Internet. With your steps I stopped him. Thanks to solve my problem.
Hi Siju George,
I have a teracom modem and I have configured it according to your instructions on this blog. Also I have enabled the wireless on the modem and done all the settings. Now both my laptop and desktop connects to the internet at the same time, one through wireless connection and other through LAN cable respectively.
Usually I used to connect my desktop to internet by using a username n password but now after all the above configurations I don't have to use the username n password to connect to internet and the desktop connects automatically.
The problem is that while I am connected to internet via wireless on my laptop I don't want the desktop to connect to internet directly without using username and password.
What settings do I need to do so that my desktop doesn't connect to internet directly?
Please anybody help me!!!!I have bricked my teracom t2-b-gawv1.4u10y-bi. When I was Updating its F/W it showed error that "Update failed" and the Power light, the DSl Light, The internet light with VOip and USb lights freezed !!!The Power Light is steady at red colour with the internet light also at red but DSL light is stuck at green with VOIP and USB which I don't use(Voip and USB)
I Connect to modem using RJ-45 Cable...
Please help guys!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Pratyush,
You may reset the modem and do a power cycle to fix it. After this you should try to update the firmware.
How to reset a modem
How to Power Cycle Modem
@Rasika
Doing PPPoE configuration, the user name and password are saved in modem and so you do not need to type them again to connect to Internet. Thats why your Desktop and Laptop connect to the Internet automatically without asking the User name and Password provided by your ISP. If you do not want this facility you should delete the PPPoE configuration and perform a bridge connection in your modem. So you should select bridge instead of PPPoE while configuring modem to ask the desktop before connecting to Internet.
