Hello All,

Recently I got a new WIMAX connection from Reliance in Bangalore with 300 kbps scheme. The speed looks good.

I need a small help in setting up WiFi router with reliance connection.
Wimax connection antenna is attached to POE box. I directly connect my laptop to this POE box via RJ45 cable and I get the IP Address. When I browse I am able to get Reliance home page and I can login and start browsing the net.
Now the issue is that I can't keep my laptop connected to this RJ45 connector and move in the entire house. So I plan to use WiFi Router. I have Netgear (WG614) which I have configured with default setting for wireless communication. Now I connect my RJ45 cable from POE to the Internet port of Router. It shows amber light for Internet. Whereas I get a private IP for my laptop and I am connected to Wireless. When I try to open the Reliance Home page. It gives error, saying no connection found.

I want to know how can I do this setup so that I can browse the internet using wireless connection. Is there any configuration to be done on Router or POE box. Please help me. Its urgent.

Thanks
Fido

Hey guys,

You need to configure the router first before you can browse the internet.

You need to put all the information of your internet provider in the configuration page of the router like IP address, subnet mask, DSN #, and you have to put a security like WEP / WPA for you to able to protect your internet form other users.

Try to reset and install again the router for you to able to configure it.

Netgear router is very sensitive. I suggest next time you by a router it should be D-Link or Airlink cause it is more user friendly than Netgear.

Hope my reply could help u.
