Internet: Configure wireless router to Reliance Broadband connection

Recently i have taken reliance broadband connection and i wanted to configure a wireless router to connect to internet. After looking at different routers from different vendors, i have finally decided to go for NETGEAR WGR614v7. When i called reliance customer care for assisstence in configuring the router, i didn't get any help. Then i decided to configure myself by following the user manual comes with the router. However i have found it very difficult. The router was not getting the ip address of ISP dynamically.
With lot of experiment finally i have made router to talk to internet.
If someone stuck in configuring the netgear router with reliance broadband can follow the below steps:
1) Follow the exact procedure mentioned in the manual. Set up will guide to configure the router. Donot follow the manual process.
2) First time do the setup with the wire that will connect the router and the laptop/desktop.
3) If the router doesnot find the dynamic ip address, switch off the modem, wait for 1 mins, switch on the router, wait for 1min and then restart your pc.
4) If atleast once you done your setting correctly then take a back up of the setting. This is very useful if you lose your setting later on, you can get it back by using the back up file.
5) Without removing the wire between the pc and the router, enable/create your wireless device in the pc to locate the router. Then you remove the wire.
6) If your router not finding the ip address, then disconnect the router from modem.
Connect your pc directly to the modem and see if you are getting the ip address automatically.
If not then go to properties of LAN and then click on "use the following ip address" radio button and enter 192.168.1.2 followed by tab. Sub net mask will get filled with 255.255.255.0 .
Go to command prompt and try to ping the entered ip address. If it is pinging then go back to LAN properties and select "obtain an ip address automatically" radio button. Wait for sometime and then go to command prompt and type ipconfig/all, it gives dynamic ip address along with name of the ISP. Then you can connect to internet directly using your modem. After connect the wire from modem to router and allow your pc to connect to router and router will connect to modem

Let me know for any issue or further clarification in configuring the netgear router with reliance broadnet
