Removing the router and plugging in the cablenet LAN brought things to
normal.
Another thing there seems to be a lot of bad karma associated with
GLB-502T.

Plus there's a bunch of posts on <www.broadbandforum.in> (it isn't
working as of 11:20 AM today) that I came upon stating some problems to
do with its WAN MAC address.
Anyone on this list with experience - good or bad - of the GLB-502T?
First and foremost, for proper functioning of an ADSL modem, proper
telephone lines are required, so before tinkering with the modem's
settings, always check the tel. wiring. Strictly no parallel phones.
A few months back I was installing a wireless router to the said modem
and in between internet was down. I did not remember the normal number
of lights on but the ADSL light was on so I asked the client. He said
that 3 lights are normally on and that was the case. So I started
investigating the modem's settings but could not log into it even though
IP settings were right. So I checked the lan wire, changing it with
another one but still no result. After a lot of sweating around, it
started all by itself and now 4 lights were on. I could now log into it
and net was already up. Only when there was another phone call and
someone in the other room picked it up, did the PPPoE light go off along
with the net access, that I realized what had happened. What happens is
that the ADSL light remains on but the PPPoE light goes off, indicating
a connection break. At that time you cannot even log into it. However
without a tel line plugged into the GLB 502T, it should allow you to log
into the web interface. I have done that when I was installing a GLB
502T at another place.
