How to connect BSNL WiMax to WiFi Router

BSNL wimax is an excellent, affordable broadband service. You can get easily connected to WiFi router to BSNL Wimax. I successfully connected my Wimax device to WIFI router. You can also get connected simply following these steps.
Before rushing, read this post thoroughly, check if you know all the settings, procedures I mentioned. If don't get help from others. In this post there is no configuration is changed for Wimax. So before proceeding make sure your Wimax device is working properly and don't change anything in Wimax!
wimax to wifi

I have following configuration,
  • Dell XPS 14 Laptop (i7 processor, 4GB RAM, NVidia 425M GT GPU, Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit)
  • Point Max IP 2500 Outdoor Wimax unit
  • iBall Baton 150M Wireless N Home Router.
  • Wimax 750 Home Unlimited internet Plan.



Anyway you need to have the Point Max IP 2500 unit with any other configuration may work.

So here are the steps,

1. Disconnect WiMax from PC.
2. Connect the Wifi router to PC using LAN cable. Use the LAN 1 port.
wifi lan wan port

3. Connect the power adapter to Iball Baton.
4. Turn on all devices including PC/laptop, Wimax, iBall Baton etc.
5. Open internet explorer/ Mozilla Firefox (don’t use Google Chrome).
6. Type 192.168.1.1 in address bar. If you are using other brands than iBall Baton refer product catalog for correct IP. Hit enter.(If your wifi router is using other IP address leave it. No need to change.). It is because if Wimax and wifi have same IP the bridge connection won't work.
7. Provide “admin” as password. (Again refer to product catalog for other brands).
8. Under LAN settings change the IP address to 192.168.1.2   Leave the sub net mask untouched.
9. Turn off DHCP server under DHCP settings,firewall etc
10. Click save and wait for your device to reboot.
11. Under quick wizard (top right corner) use dynamic IP, add a WIFI password and save.
12. Now remove the LAN cable from your PC/laptop and connect it to Wimax adapter’s LAN 1 port. Leave the WAN port open.
13. Turn on all your wifi devices and connect to iBall Baton using the password you entered on quick wizard. Enjoy wireless connectivity.
14. Reboot all devices if needed.
Update: Please note that you need to check your WiMax device for WAN port. The ADSL Modem cant work with this setup.

Please Don't change anything in Wimax configuration. You have to change everything in your wifi router. Also the cable from Wimax adapter (LAN) should be connected to the LAN port of WiFi router, Not WAN port.

    1. Mr. Nirbhay singh, Have you read the instructions correctly and and applied it? Have you changed the IP of your wimax router or WIFI router?
      If it is wifi you can reset it by pressing the reset button at the back
      If it is wimax you have to get the wimax outdoor unit and use a screw driver to press the reset button.
      Anyway I didn't asked to change the Wimax config. Did I?

  5. Hey this is Pratap
    I have also iBall baton 150. When I connect to wimax as your instructions it gives only 20 kbps. But when I connect directly from wimax to pc it gives good speed. Is there any other settings I need. Can you please post all instructions with images or post a proper video. Than You

  9. Once I thought about things like: why such information is for free here? Because when you write a book then at least on selling a book you get a percentage. Thank you and good luck on informing people more about it… best router for multiple devices
