Setup Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600 with BSNL

Sir i have Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600 (BSNL) will it configure to other networks and how?
whether it is applicable to 2G or 3G also.

Nokia Siemens Residential Router is for broadband DSL connection. You need USB modems to connect to 2G and 3G connections.

I have a Nokia siemens 1600 model router.will it a hybrid one?. it has 4 LAN ports.i want to make a small network using this and internet sharing. will it be possible?. if so can u plz tell me how to do?

Yes you can use it to expand/create a network.

If you enable DHCP, your LAN ports will give unique IP addresses to the computers connected to it.

I had BSNL connection earlier. Now I switched over to Reliance wired connection. How can I configure Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600 with Reliance Modem? What changes will I have to do comparing to your given tutorial for BSNL? Please reply ASAP

Thanks

You have to get the modem configuration details like VCI value, VPI etc from Reliance technical support. After that you can follow the same steps.

sir, i have the same router,how can i connect my laptop with the same connection.i want my desktop and laptop be connected to the internet at the same time.

Do you wish to connect your laptop with wireless or with Ethernet Cable ?

You can connect your laptop to another LAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable.

Have you checked the wireless network availability with another wireless device (laptop or smartphone ) ? If there is no wireless network from Nokia siemens 1600 router, perform a firmware update on it. Also check for any possible wireless interference with another wireless devices.

Nice article on how to set up the Nokia-Siemens router. I was experiencing this problem and your solution worked great.

I have nokia siemens 1600..and BSNL broadband connection....wifi is working fine on my laptop..but when i use to connect my windows phone to wifi...it gets connected to the router...i can access 192.168.1.1 but cant access any website.....please help me out.....

Seems strange, are you sure your Windows Phone/laptop is connected to the right router ?

To check it, change the SSID and try to connect and access the Internet again.

hello sir when router homepage open its not showing the wireless option for wifi what can be the reason?

sir, in my nokia siemens residential router 16oo(bsnl),no wireless option comes in the left pane.can it support wifi.

If it doesn't have Wireless tab, I believe you have a type 1 modem without WiFi.

Hi Sir my name is Nisar and i am using nokia siemens residential router 1600, i want to block some web site at specific ip.
sothat pls provide me solution.

@Nisar

To block websites based on IP address from a router, it should have features like web filter/Parental Control. I couldn't find Parental Control feature on Nokia Siemens Residential Router 1600.

Sir i have this nokia residential router and in want it to connect to my mobile hotspot and share the internet through its lan port to my cctv dvr. Is it possible? If yes can you please provide detailed steps to follows.. Thanks in advance.

This model (1600) of Nokia router does not receive WiFi signals from mobile hotspot directly. If you have a different model of Nokia Residential router, I suggest you tell me the model number.

If you setup your Nokia Residential Router in bridge mode, you must need to configure the source ( mobile hotspot) too in bridge mode to establish the connection between two devices.

In wireless bridge setup, only devices in bridge mode can connect each other.

I have this Nokia Siemens 1600, configured by BSNL technician for Broad band connection. It worked only for 5 minutes, after that the DSL indicator is blinking. Is it the line fault of BSNL or the Modem fault? Please help

@ BG Narendra Babu

If the DSL indicator is blinking, you should ask the BSNL technician to check the line. 99%, it is due to the line issues.


As a workaround, you may perform a power cycle on your BSNL modem.

Hello Sir,

I too have this same modem at my home.I am struggling with some strange issue though, everything is working fine except some specific functiins.I can surf the web but cannot perform a speedtest of any sort. Also IM like pidgin is not connecting to the server through this AP.I double checked and allowed all traffic including SNMP (for monitoring purpose) through the modem admin interface.Also a second device (in this case my android smartphone) is not able to resolve urls even though it connects to the AP.DNS seens to be broken as downloads via apps are working fine.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance.

@ Prem Prakash

It seems like the problem with internet speed or faulty DNS settings on your PC.

What is the download speed you are getting on your android smartphone?

To check whether its the DNS problem or not, try Google DNS on your PC. You can try the steps mentioned in the link below.
