As part of a science project, I need to encase a wireless router in various materials to see how those materials block the 2.4 Ghz signal (802.11g) and if so, how much. I was looking online for such a topic and am having issues finding this topic online. It continually comes up with a wifi paint, which is not part of my project.
I was wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction as far as searching for this topic goes. Please do NOT say type it into a search engine. I am looking for specific sites. Thanks in advanced.

I have cable modem downstairs with a 4-port "wired" router sharing the internet between 3 PCs (2 downstairs, and mine is upstairs).

I recently puchased an Xbox 360 (which is upstairs as well) and want to connect that to my network, however, there is no way I can connect it to the router downstairs. I tried another router upstairs, but it didn't work so I took it back.

What equipment can I buy to use upstairs that will allow my PC and Xbox to be on the internet at the same time?

Does the new AT&T wireless connection card work on airplanes? I mean, in the commercial, the guy is working from a swamp!!! If not, is there any other such card that could be used? Also, must AT&T be your ISP or can you just buy the card and connect? I am taking a trip from FL to AZ and will not only want to be connected while in-flight, but also when I am in the mountains in Sedona.

Thanks!

Hello,

My internal hard disk was damaged recently and so I had to buy a new one and re-install everything from the beginning, and everything works super fine, except for the LAN cable, which it doesn't pick up whenever I plug it in. Before the disk broke, I used to just plug in a cable and the internet would work right away, but now when I plug it in nothing happens.

My wireless works fine, but I also need it to work with the LAN.

So what should I do? I read on another answer here that maybe it's a problem of the driver, but I downloaded and installed all the ones that the laptop manufacturer put on their website, so how do I figure out which driver I need so I can go look for it on the web?

Thanks!

My new (cable) net provider is only allowing single computer connection. They're not allow me to use a router.

So every time I want to use/change to a different computer I have to call them to "clearhost."

How is this possible? Is there anyway they can detect me when I use a router? Is there any workaround?

Thanks.

The server computer is connected to a network switch, router and a DSL modem with an static address (router and switch are AirLink). The remote computer is conected to the internet with an ISP (and later I will connect this remote to a modem with a dynamic address in DSL).
I already connected them directly through the telephone lines using PcA and it worked. I also connected them to the network switch with PcA with the TCP/IP host address and it works.
But when I set the remote through an ISP connection it seems that the router is refusing the connection.
Help me stating information required and where to input it.
I would greatly appreciate clear and precise steps, I am not an expert but would like to learn to do it by myself. Thanks in advance.

My pc is your standard P4 and has one NIC, and I have a cable Comcast internet connection. I'm looking to add a redundant connection with DSL for automatic failover or even two full time connections, if that's at all possible. That way if one connection drops, I'll still have the internet access. Thank you so very much in advance!!!!!!!

I just brought a LinkSys wireless router like this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124010

I've been told it's the best router, so on so forth. I follow the on-screen instruction and when it was trying to connect to the internet, it said it can't be found! Why??

I like to note that I have Verizon's Westell VersaLink 372W as my modem box AND router... but they left me with no instructions or CD. Is that the problem? Please, all I want is a secured wireless connection damn it -.-

I have a few questions, but first some background information. So I wanted to run an ethernet cord into my room to use with my computer, but I also want a NAS and a printer. Now I have seen some NAS's that come with USB ports as well and some of these explicitly say you can connect a printer but not all.
1. Do all NAS's with USB ports support adding a printer?
I have also seen some NAS's with multiple ethernet ports.
2. Does this mean that I can plug one into the router and the other into my computer?
3. Will it be as if I was directly connected to the router?
Assuming the answers to both of those are yes the I should be able to buy a NAS with 2 ethernet ports and at least 1 USB port to solve all my problems.
4.Is that assumption correct?

Other information is its a 2WIRE modem/router with 4 ethernet ports (im trying to not run 2 cords to my room) and there are 3 computers on the network.

We have a laptop and desktop- both used for business and personal use.
We would like to have a wireless home network, with our printer, so the desktop and the laptop can connect to the same thing, with our printer.
We were thinking something along the lines of two user profiles- one business and one personal- and both computers can connect to each of these profiles, and the files can be sort of 'synchronised' whenever the laptop is in range- incase it has been taken away from home for business use.
We have a wireless firewall router. One of the two printers is wireless (bluetooth) and the laptop is bluetooth, if that makes any difference.
The only problem is we have no real idea how to do this! Is this possible? Mail me with step by step instructions if the answer thing is not sufficient.
Any thing would be a great help!

Can you use bluetooth to connect a PC to the internet?

I bought a new computer and I'm placing it in another room. I've used conventional USB wireless adapters before, but I saw that the bluetooth dongles were cheaper and was wondering whether they can be used to connect to the internet.

Would you connect to the internet regularly like you do with USB adapters, or do you have to do something differently? Is there any other special software I have to buy in addition to the dongle?

Please help!

So, is dsl just souped up dial-up? Or is it something totally different. I want to get relatively cheap internet, but be able to share it between 3 computers. I know that I'll have to get a router and ethernet cables. But I just want to know what sets dsl apart from regular old dial-up.
