Hey I’m Manish Mohith from EE department in room 909 Mandakini hostel,  
Yeah so , try seeing a video in youtube regarding the setup of the router you purchased because the manual can be often unclear,  
And after setting up the router according to the video just connect to that wifi even though there is no internet connection and go to netaccess.iitm.ac.in and enter your LDAP credentials and then select approve on the bottom of the page and select 1 day and click authorize  
You’ll have your internet setup all good
