Merging 2 BSNL Broadband Connection Using D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router
Here’s what I have done to achieve 90 KB/s download in UTorrent.
What you need.
1) Two Broadband connections on two different linesI have Home 1350 UL - 512 kbps & Home 750 UL - 256 kbps
2) D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router.
3) ADSL modems 2 Nos. (I use D-Link GLB 502T)4) CAT-5 patch cables (come along with modem/router)
First connect one modem to your computer via Ethernet (CAT-5). Setup a connection in Bridge mode.
Do the same for second connection using second connection.
Now you have your D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router with 2 WAN ports and 4 LAN ports.
Connect both the modems to DI-LB604 in WAN1 and WAN2 ports.
Switch on all both the modems and DI-LB604You will see WAN1 & WAN2 LEDs light up.
Now connect DI-LB604 to your computer via Ethernet (CAT-5) using one of the LAN ports on DI-LB604.
Open your browser and goto 192.168.0.1 provide username and password for DI-LB604 (Default username admin and password blank).
You are on your D-Link DI-LB604 Load Balancing Router’s homepage. Clink on WAN from left side Vertical menus now do the following settings.
Interface : WAN 1
Connect Mode : Enable
Connect Type : PPPPoE
User Name : Provided by BSNL (for the line you connected to WAN1)
Password : Provided by BSNL
PPPoE Host Name : Leave Blank
Click on apply the modem will restart.
Go to Status and check if WAN1 is connected and acquired an IP address.
Again go to home and setup
Interface : WAN2
Connect Mode : Enable
Connect Type : PPPPoE
User Name : Provided by BSNL (for the line you connected to WAN2)
Password : Provided by BSNL
PPPoE Host Name : Leave Blank
Click on apply the modem will restart.
Go to Status and check if WAN2 is connected and acquired an IP address.
Again go to home and Click on Load Balance
Enable : CHECKED
Load Balance Base on : Bytes Tx + Rx
Loading Share : WAN 1 50% WAN 2 50%
Click on apply
Now you will get the speed of Connection 1 + Connection2 when using torrents or sharing the connection in LAN.

How To Setup a BSNL DataOne BroadBand connection in Linux
Remember that all these assumes that your router is connected to the LAN port, if it’s connected to the USB port, then disconnect it and connect to the LAN port. If you dont have a LAN card, then consider getting one. It’s cheap, costs around Rs. 200.
Next, it’s best to have the router configured in pppoe mode. In this case you just have to switch on the router, the router and DHCP will take care of the rest.
If you’re unsure whether your router is in PPPoE more or bridge mode, If you have used a dialer in Windows, then your router is in bridge mode. In this case, open the terminal and type
sudo pppoeconf
Next, answer yes to all questions and enter the username and password when prompted.
Please note that this is a one type setup.
To connect, open the terminal and type
pon dsl-provider
To terminate the connection type
poff
Please note that I still recommend configuring your router to PPPoE mode for hassle-free net connection under Linux. if anyone else has or uses a different method, then do please mention them in the comments.
If you don’t want to use the terminal for connecting/disconnecting then, follow the below steps:.
Note that the one-time setup has to be done as mentioned above. Once this is done, to create an icon for launching the connection,
Right click on the desktop and Click on Create Launcher. In the Type dropdown list, choose Application in Terminal. Give a name like, Connect to DataOne. In the command type
pon dsl-provider
Click OK. That's it! Double click on the icon to Connect!
For Fedora, follow the below mentioned steps
Launch the terminal. Type
adsl-setup
It will ask for
Enter your Login Name
Type
<username>@dataone
for eg: if username is SathyaSays then enter
SathyaSays@dataone for username
Next it will ask for
Interface
Type
/dev/eth0
<– note it is eth0(ie, the number 0, not the letter o)
Next when prompted for
Enter the demand value
