BSNL limited connectivity problems ( SOLVED) !!

If you are also one among affected by “Limited Connectivity ” problems of BSNL broadband, this is a fix that worked for me today !!

Go to command prompt and check if u are able to ping to http://www.google.com , if yes then try resetting the router,else go to your router settings (for me its 192.168.1.1) username : admin pass: admin. Now select ” WAN”  from the left pane select the first option and select edit, now u ll go through  a series of menus under the one that has a username password check whether its username “ka44********”,this for chennai i dunno for the rest of the cities , this is nothing but ur username password that was given to u during installation of the broadband connection , now password would be “password” (i hope so), see if the service name is “dataone” now save the settings and reboot ur router ,your internet connection must now be working fine 🙂

BSNL DNS problems !! (slow lookups)

Today i had the worst day of my life trying to fix my crappy broadband connection,i tried all possible fixes and it never worked out for me. But interestingly though i learnt a couple of measures to go  through the naggy BSNL DNS servers.

You can change to open DNS server they provide high performance lookups than what BSNL DNS does, just go to your ethernet settings (i.e click on Open Network and Sharing and select “Change Adapter Settings” in that select your ethernet card or your wifi card which ever u may use (i prefer changing both) and select “properties” ,go to IPv4 settings and select properties now change your DNS addresses to

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Now ur DNS will be automatically changed to the above addresses thereby providing better look ups.
