Computer Networking - August 2007

I have an office one mile from my home. I would like to purchase a router that will extend that far. Is that possible?

I bought a new laptop a couple of days back and tried connecting it to the router (Linksys). I entered the ip address of the router in the setup and now my wireless system does not work at all. (Previously I had another laptop working on the network without a problem. I ran the cd to configure the network on the 2nd laptop as I could not remember the password to the network). I bought another router hoping that the ip conflict would go away however that has not helped. Is there a way to reset the ip and fix this problem?

I have broadband connected to my Ethernet port (RJ45)
Can I use something or tweak settings to share my Internet connection using my built-in wireless adapter and share my connection to other laptops?

The ppl that came and set it up did not write down the WEP code and it wasnt on the network, my laptop and the desktop in my room, weren't on the network, but thet family PC that has it set up on and the router plugged into it works fine, I can not connect to the Internet on my laptop and 2nd desktop... It's really annoying, it took those guys to come out 4 months just to set up what took them all of 10 minutes... I wasn't hear when they set it up, just my mom, and she didnt write the code down... What can I do?

I have researched this quite a bit but the answers are somewhat elusive. No matter where I put the wireless router in our house, no matter which brand I buy, no matter how large the antennas are on the router, there are some places in the house that get very sporadic or low connections wirelessly. I have several mainstream wireless routers. Has anyone successfully enabled a connection between two routers to improve wireless reception? I also tried a range extender, and it worked, except that I ended up getting constant IP conflicts, plus the thing consistently lost its connection to the internet every night.

I can catch at least three bars from my house. I assume that this signal is coming from a building that is about 8 or 10 houses down from me. I am tempted to connect to it. I do have DSL on my desktop but wifi is mobile! lol.

Throughout the day I suddenly don't get a internet connection although it tells me I am "currently connected" and that the connection is of good quality?

I'll get an error message that something is unplugged. Can't figure it out.

I have to constantly go downstairs and reboot my cable box and router.

Is there a reason for this problem or a solution?

Thanks!

Okay, let me see if I can explain exactly what I am trying to do here. I have 2 laptop computers. One has Windows XP and the other I just purchased yesterday is running Windows Vista. I have a wireless router that they are both connected to. I want to be able to share music between the two computers and I know that it can be done. Keep in mind when you answer that I know nothing about networking and I need the most detailed information you can give me on how to do this. (Don't just tell me what to do... tell me how to do it). Thanks in advance :-)

I have a new WHR-G54S router. I got everything set-up just fine and everything was working perfectly-but then all the router info on my computer seemed to disappear. The wireless connection was lost, and all of the settings disappeared completely on my desktop. It's as if I never set up the router at all. I've been through this 3-4 times now. I've called Buffalo Tech Support, but have been unable to get through to anyone. Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how to fix it? I'm running XP on the desktop that the router is connected to.

I was just looking at my network configurations, and I wanted to know how I can be sure I'm not allowing my neighbors and/or others to access my computer without my permission. I access the internet via a hardwired connection; however, I also have a wireless connection and router that is hooked up.

Thanks!

I've asked a couple questions concerning internet service in the apartment I live in. My apartment provides internet by a company that I refuse to do business with. My phone and cable (TV) provider are the same company. If it is possible for me to get internet without using the service offered, please let me know. My computer/networking know-how is pretty basic and I don't understand a lot of technical jargon so you'll have to break it down for me.

I need all the help I can get and thanks in advance:)

Hey everyone! I've got a quick question for you. Which wireless router should I get, a G or N? I know the N is better (and faster), but is it worth the $30 more than the $69 G? My main use for this is for gaming. I will have it hardwired to my 360 and wireless to my laptop. Thank you in advance for your help!

Ok, I got a wireless router and installed it, no problem. Then I installed my adapter on the 2nd computer....now, here's a problem. I cannot figure out how to get the 2nd computer to access the net. It keeps saying that it is acquiring network address. The signal is fine, but it keeps saying I'm not connected. Ugh, I am getting extremely frustrated!!! Please, someone give me some suggestions here.

The only computer I own is the laptop. I will be using a Linksys router, if so.
The laptop itself came wireless ready.

I am mad at the cable company for increasing their prices. If I decide to go with a local phone service and DirectTV then I would have to switch from cable internet to DSL. I have had a bad experience in the past with DSL, but haven't tried it in over 6 years. I just want to get some input from DSL users to see if the speeds are comparable to cable. DSL offers me speeds up to 1.5 Mb.

I have a desktop computer connected with a linksys USB wireless G adaptor. I have two laptops. One is an HP dv4000 with the upgraded Broadcom wireless chip. The other is a new Toshiba with a Atheros wireless chip. Both of these are wireless G. I have files on my desktop shared with my laptops. I get speeds of about 700KBps max for a file transfer. If I connect either laptop via ethernet the speed doubles even though the desktop is still connected via wireless. If I connect them all via wire the speed is about the same at 1.4MBps. With all of these tests it appears that the wireless built into my two laptops is lacking. For browsing it is ok but if I want to access pictures and music from the hard drive on my desktop, this is just unacceptable.

Oh yeah, I have a Linksys WRT54G v3. I have tried the latest firmware and currently have DD WRT installed. There is no difference in performance.

Are there any changes I could make to my settings?

i have already tried to obtain the IP add automatically and repairing the connection. It keeps saying it can't connect to the network.

Even if I place my laptop beside the router and says "connected",,, you still can't do anything online.

What is the problem? Please help. Thanks~
