How To Manually Configure Reliance WIFI On BSNL Router ?

Posted by Unknown
Most of the reliance users must be knowing that reliance broadband provides a stock modem for free with a new connection, which is good at connecting a single system. but it does not have the wifi capability so the connection can be used only on a single computer and cannot be used for using internet on mobiles,tablets, and other devices , so i decided to use my spare nokia seimens 1600 bsnl wifi modem with reliance broadband. I contacted reliance customer service representatives for some help about configuring my wifi modem, but they only told me the VPI and VCI of reliance (which I'll be explaining later in this post) and recommended me to switch to their wifi plan which was costly, So i was not willing to switch to their wifi plan.Therefore I searched many blogs and searched for many Youtube tutorials but the result was zero, so I decided to put my own efforts, to configure the nokia-seimens modem with reliance . and after some attempts I got success and now I can use the single internet connection on my various devices at the same time.

  12. Click on Reboot>>Save/Reboot. Now your modem will get rebooted, and the custom settings will take into effect just after the reboot.
