If your ISP requires a login for you to access the Internet, the router has to be able to pass that information to your ISP server, or it will not be able to access those servers. Your ISP should be well aware of this, as many people use routers for their home networks. The customer service section of your ISP should be able to provide you with this information. They would have had to have given this information to you at some time or you would never have been able to get on to the Internet. If you are having issues getting this information from your customer service people then perhaps you need to request a conversation with one of their supervisors. In all my 30 years of working with computers, and almost as many years of accessing the Internet, I have never heard of an ISP that would not provide you with your own login information. Perhaps it is time to change ISP's.
what u can try is ... if u have the details for the configration... reset the router by pressing the reset button and hold the reset down for 10 to 15 secs and the router will restart ... go to the router configration page and re configure it ... and see if it works and if u still get the orange light call ur ISP and if u do not have the configration details in that case too call ISP
Yes you simply need to hook up via an Ethernet cable, open a browser type in the routers address, login with username and password, and then you can edit any setting you like. Then when finished you save settings and reboot router.

As i understand you have a router provided by your ISP: MTNL, you need to configure the Belkin router in Dynamic mode and not in PPPoE. Then restart the devices by unplugging the power from MTNL router and Belkin. Wait for 20 secs, then power up MTNL router 1st, wait for all lights to get steady and finally power up the Belkin wireless router. Then you will find the modem and internet light lit up properly. For any further clarifications, revert!
if the router is still under warranty or you have an existing ISP,you can try to contact them since they are the only one who knows how to configure that,theres a possiblity that they will reset everything

:-Send me ur product details and ur setting details like
ISP(Internet Service Provider):-
Brand Name of the modem:-

If u would like to resolve ur problem soon then send me all details..
Your Belkin router is normally configured to get a dynamic IP Add from your Internet provider unless otherwise configured. Most ISP's network where clients/subscribers connect (through DSL) has a DHCP server that hands out this IP adds. If your router keeps on changing its WAN IP add, it may presumably be because: 1. Your router keeps on rebooting or powering on/off and everytime it turns on, it is given a new IP add; 2. Your ISP's DHCP server keeps on renewing its lease on the IP add given to your router.
Corrective measures would entail: a. Do a full hard reset of your router and go through the installation setup again. Of course this would revert all settings/configuration to factory default; and/or b. Contact your ISP and explain your concern.
In some cases, the router's MAC address has an issue that the ISP's DHCP is keeping a hard time recognizing it. this can be corrected with a firmware update.
Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things tunrs up or should you need additional information.
1. Connect your ISP modem to your PC and configure as Bridge mode.
2. Remove your ISP modem and connect your wireless router to your PC and configure as PPPOE mode. (refer http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/reviews/article.php/3645166 if any doubt on configuration)
3. Now connect your ISP modem to wireless router, The modem should connect to your WAN cable.
4. And Give the wireless router's IP in your laptop as Gateway (In TCPIP settings of your Laptop wireless adapter / or configure DHCP)
