[RESOLVED] What type of wireless device is this?

[ADQUSIT]

Hi, I have a wireless device, on back side of which its written that WLAN 11g Router, and further detail and a warranty card of WiLink is also here. When i enter the DSL line in this device and power on wireless LAN of my DELL LAPTOP, with windows 7, so it says connects me to the WIRELESS LAN, but Internet is not working? Please assist me that why its not working.

So you have a Wireless G router and when you plug in the DSL modem to the WLAN port and turn on the laptop you have a network connection but no internet?

It sounds like you just need to specify your dsl settings in the router. On your laptop open a web browser and navigate to the router's IP address (usually it's either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)
I have no idea what the default username and pasword is for that router, but once logged in go to the WAN part from the menu (sometimes they call it internet) and you'll want to specify PPPOE for the connection type and type in the username and password that your dsl isp gave you.

Then go to the router status and click the "connect" button next to the wan ip info (which should say 0.0.0.0 or 'not connected')

All routers have these basic types of steps, sorry that I'm not familiar with your specific router but you should at least get the idea.

HI, i have entered the id 192.168.1.254 and i was displayed with the router page and configuration setting. Now what i do?

[JuggaloBrotha]

What router do you have?

[dilettante]

A DSL line's RJ11 plug can be jammed into the Ethernet RJ45 upstream socket of a router but it won't work and may cause damage.

Do you have an actual DSL modem device between the router and the line?

Or does the router have this built in? If so, the port should be marked as such and fit the DSL line plug properly.

Did you get this from some brick and mortar pawn shop (or online amateur pawn shop like eBay)? Otherwise you should have the manual, which should make the process fairly clear.

@ Juggalo

its name is unknown to me, but a warranty seal is pasted on it, on which its written in blue color WLink.

@ Dilettante

Yeah dilettante, i have the same RJ11 cable from my telephone to Router, and i plug it in RJ45 socket. Listen I have a splitter in which there is 1 IN and 2 OUT. from these 2 OUTS i have given one to ROUTER, and other to Telephone and this splitter has only RJ11 sockets both IN and OUTS.

You also need a filter device between the splitter and the phone. Otherwise the phone will disturb the ADSL. For test just unplug the phones and see if it works.

[ADQUSIT]

yeah i have done this before, but no use. internet is still not working.

[dilettante]

RJ45s are not normally used for residential telephone circuits.

It sure sounds like you are trying to plug the telephone line into the router, which won't help you a bit unless the router incorporates a DSL modem. And if it did the router would have an RJ11 socket, not an RJ45.

You may even have destroyed the routers's upstream Ethernet port by now.

Hurray, My problem is done, i simply called the DSL Technician, he was dealt by my brother at home. so my brother told me that he only change the gateway and the internet started.

[dilettante]

Well that's good news!

[ADQUSIT]

Thank you diletante and all who guided me. Thanks a lot.
