How to Setup BSNL DataOne Broadband Connection for Maximum Performance
Noise is the culprit!
First of all you need to understand that BSNL DataOne services are working on ADSL technology and even slight noise in the telephone line can severely affect your quality of connection. Your modem comes with various stats and that is more than enough to identify the noise.
Log-in to your modem’s admin panel and click the summary link. [Type in your browser 192.168.1.1 and use user name / pass as admin/admin]
You will see similar screen there.
As ADSL technology uses two different spectrum of frequencies for upload and download, you will see two different stats for upstream and downstream.
Here are the explanations of the different terms:
ADSL Link Speed:
The speed at which you are connected to BSNL servers. This does not necessarily be same as your allocated speed.
SNR: Or Signal-to-Noise ratio. Better signal and less noise implies high SNR.
Attenuation:
Decrease in signal strength due to scattering, resistance and other natural effects. Higher attenuation means lesser quality of signal.
The noise level can be clearly understood by checking SNR. You should be having average SNRs around 30. Lesser means you have some noise in your telephone line and you should contact BSNL to get the noise cleared from the telephone line.
Normally noise appears when there are joints or when the cable is exposed to environment. Rainy season brings rust to exposed parts and result in noise.
Noise can also happen if you have a faulty telephone. Faulty telephones can interrupt your signals and result in noise. It can also be the result of ADSL splitter being faulty.
Next thing to check is the Attenuation. Your average attenuation should be around 15. Higher attenuation means signal is loosing strength. (Possibly due to longer distance (Resistance) from telephone exchange). Lower quality of signal means, frequent slow down and interruption.
Once you are satisfied with SNR / Attenuation values, let’s go to the WAN settings.
Let the settings be same as there except for DNS. If your DNS is in disabled state, enable it and move to DNS link.
Insert the following values as in this screen shot. We will be using the DNS service from OpenDNS; which is found to be better than BSNL’s own DNS servers.
After doing this, you will see improvement in your connection speed.

how to change DNS setting for ZTE ZXDSL 831AII
modem i can’t see anything where we can change dns setting in modem
Tuning April 9th
Hi Kaushal,
You change it in the network settings as well. Go to Network Settings.
Control Panel = > Network Settings => Right Click your connection name => Properties => Click Properties of TCP/IP setting = > Use the following DNS servers.
I hope that helps.

@Suraj,
You can see the SNR margin in Status -> Device Info. (Bottom)
@Ravi,
You can simply plug-in a switch to the output of single user modem. Then connect as many computers you wish. Just remember to enable DHCP in modem.

my bsnl broadband conn just hangs after a certain time. i disconnect the ppoe part and again reconnect but it logs in, but no data in/out movement is possible. i have to restart the comp then again it works.
how can i set the connection whereby the manual connection part is removed. ply reply thanx
Tuning December 5th
@ Sridhar,
Just connect the ethernet switch to modem output. Connect multiple computers to that switch. It is that simple!
@ Vishal
As far as I can understand, it is some problem with your computer rather than the ADSL modem. Have you tried connecting to another computer? (lappy, maybe?)
Btw, what modem are you using?

@Mohan,
I think you modem is being hacked by someone. Change your modem pass (please note that this is not the BSNL user / password.) to something else than “admin”. (which is the default pass in many cases.)
@VIJAY,
This modem comes with a CD, just insert it and select the appropriate options.
Please let me know if you wish to have a screenshot of the configs. (At the moment, I use this modem at home.)

Shubham Singh December 27th
Also adding to my query above, I am using BSNL 500C plan ( upto 2Mbps ). I replaced the splitter but still the problem remained. Is it possible that the dew droplets and winters in my area are affecting the connection at the connection board on the pole? There is no joint on the wire from the pole to my line board in my room ( Connections checked ) which passes wire further to splitter. Thanks. Waiting for a reply.
Tuning December 28th
Hi Shubham,
Are you living several kms away from exchange? It looks like signal strength is not enough. SNR is too low compared to normal operating (15dB+) conditions. If this is not the case, you may have to request BSNL guys to thoroughly check the line. The attenuation seems to be very high compared to normal operating conditions.

Tuning July 19th
Line has too much noise. Attenuation 77 is too high. Check your telephone line and the ADSL splitter connection. This can also happen if your ADSL splitter i faulty.
Tuning July 19th
@saurabh,
What IP are you getting from modem? Just use the 0.1 for that. For example, some people use 10.0.0.1 as modem. So you will be getting 10.0.0.XX as your IP. If you are using any other. Just replace it with 1 for last digit and you will be able to access modem.

Hi Hari,
You may need to use high performance ADSL splitters then. Unfortunately, it is not available in India. If you have any one in UK, you can buy them from this website :
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/ShopSearch.asp?CategoryID=24
It will improve your numbers. But, will only do marginally. You may have to replace your existing telephone cable with better cable. (Just a guess)
