Back up your DSL Broadband with Mobile Broadband

Tuesday, December 04, 2012

While both Wired & Mobile Broadband connections have their set of Pros & Cons, it would be worth if we could leverage the best out of both.Netgear N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition is one such rare species that lets you combine the best of both.

2. Mobile Broadband Only
3. ADSL with failover to Mobile Broadband.

Router login : To configure the modem into the aforementioned modes login to it by typing the URL http://www.routerlogin.net & hit enter.Then enter Username : admin , Password : password.

Mode Selection : In the main menu, click the Set up wizard  and click Next.Now select the Internet Connection Mode : Use ADSL connection first and if fail use Mobile Broadband Connection.Click Next.




ADSL settings : Now, ADSL settings needs to be configured.Select  PPPoE in Internet Service Provider & enter the Broadband Username & password exactly as provided by your ISP & Apply.
Mobile Broadband settings : Now you are prompted to configure Mobile Broadband settings.Confirm the settings(i.e., Username, Password, Access No., APN etc.) that needs to be entered in the Mobile Broadband Settings from your Service provider.When you are done, click Apply.
