- Sometimes, it’s the splitter that’s malfunctioning, so if your settings are all good and you’ve paid the bill on time then check connecting the router through direct connection without the splitter and if it works that way, it’s time for you to get a new splitter.

Now, if you’ve checked according to the troubleshooting process as mentioned above then the only thing that could go wrong is the router’s settings. So, here’s how to setup your ADSL router for the correct setting:
- Push the reset button on your router and let it restart on its own.
- After your router gets restarted, connect your device (phone, computer or tablet) to your Router’s network.
- Some of the routers’ connections are open but few are closed and might ask you for a pin or password which you can easily find on a sticker on the back side of your router.
- In case of trouble connecting to the router’s WiFi, you may connect your computer using a LAN port. That way there won’t be a problem of finding the default password.
- Once your device is connected to the network, open the browser and type 192.168.1.1 on the address bar of the browser and hit enter.
- Then the browser might ask you to enter the username and password for accessing the router’s setting. If you have reset your router then the default username and password will be “admin” in both fields.
- Now on the router’s setting page look for “Quick Settings”
- Then choose PPoE as the encapsulation type
- Set VPI field to 8 and VCI field to 81
- Enter your ADSL username and password provided by NTC which will be in the format “ADSL015580210” OR “NTADSL015580210”
- And, Bam! Your ADSL router should be working just fine within seconds after updating the above-mentioned settings.
