BSNL Broadband

It’s been quite a while since BSNL brought out their 2 Mbps broadband service, and it looks good… however, there is one major drawback that I’ve noticed and it’s not with the service, it’s with the modem that they have provided.

I have a Huawei modem (WA1003A, I think…) which has Wi-Fi capability (supposedly). My home network is primarily wired with my laptop on wireless. That’s where the problem arises - the wireless functionality of this modem is totally hopeless. The only saving grace is that the wired part functions without any trouble.

Thankfully, I have a NetGEAR wireless router which I bought about a year ago to use when the old modem was around (that didn’t have wireless). Reconfigure the router, wire it to the LAN, and Hey, presto! Wireless capability is upto maximum.
