Computer Networking - July 2007

I got a Wifi Network and I use a desktop and a laptop with it.
I feel that some one is accessing it and using up bandwidth since the combined bandwidth at any given point of time on both the pcs is arnd 176 kbps when it should be around 256 kbps. (both my pcs are located close to the Wifi router so theres negligible loss of speed)

My kids all want to be on the net at the same time and i am sick of cords running through the house. I am dumb.... If i buy a wireless router do I have to change my broadband plan from ADSL to wireless? Do i have to buy a new modem or does the router come with it? I am in Australia - any suggestions on the best to buy.THNKS

Hi,
I ust got a new mac laptop and am trying to hook it up to my Zoom wireless router at home. It is WPA encrypted with a passphrase, and the wireless internet is working perfectly on other laptops (which are windows instead of mac). My laptop finds the network, asks for the passphrase (which I have double and triple checked, it is correct!), tries to connect, but then always says there is an error...

This is my first mac and I don't know much about it, is there some sort of systems settings that I might need to play with? I have connected to wireless internet on this laptop before (In america) but it doesn't seem to want to work in England.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

When I view wireless networks available in the area, they all have cool names like "Spy" or "Ken's House". How can I get one? Mine is called 2Wire### and it's kinda boring.

I've heard from my family from oversea that the ISP (Internet Service Provider) can stop user gets online if they're using Router to support Multi-Computer online. So far that I know is the ISP is ADSL/DSL and also the ADSL/DSL modem doesn't require any driver or software installed(I think that it mine be the treat at the first place). However, as long as the user name and password setup correctly in the router config should be able to bring the router online, the router acts nothing but just a bridge or gateway between the ISP and the computers, right? Anyway, it seems really hard to be done in my knowledge (I've build custom desktop/laptop sales at ebay for 3 years). Is it a way to get it done? How? How to get through it or how to get the router working? Seems very interesting to me. Thanks help!
**Router works perfect, tested 5 different brand new and different brand name router.
**PC can only get online when directly plug in the modem
**Originally using Linksys Wireless Router

How do I become invisible (no one can see you but you can and you remain still being online)? I have AIM 6.0 and I have tried closing the little "eye" next to my screen name and it didn't work because I asked all of my friends if they could still see me online.

Tech support is no help. My linksys is telling me I'm connected at 54 Mbps, but pages are taking so long to load... I might as well have dial-up. We have 5 computers and 4 are wireless and the problem started today. Have reset and restarted everything, shut off 4 of 5 of them and tried only one. All my settings seem ok. I'm running a WEP security enabled connection. Even the wired desktop is doing it, it is wired through the router. It's a WRT54G v.3 Linksys. Can I do anything???

I bought a Netgear router the day after Christmas. It had a 1 year warranty. It quit working after 6 months. Now they want me to give them my credit card number to even talk to me. I went to the store where I bought it and they tried to help me. Netgear wants to replace their defective router with a reconditioned one, assuming it's a manufacturer defect. And they want me to pay for shipping to send it to them to look at it. They don't even have a local authorized repair place. Why should I have to accept a second hand router when it was a new one that I bought? I expected to have it last at least the full year it was warranteed for--not 6 months and get it replaced with a used one. What do you think?
