I tried connecting one router that’s not connected to the internet to a router that is, using a long ethernet cable. I did that cause the wireless connection in the lower levels of the house didn’t have strong connection but when I did I wasn’t able to get an internet connection on the lower level router. How do you fix this problem?

I need to get my router’s password so I can host a web site using WAMP. I have a Linksys WRK54G router, and need a guide on how to forward the ports and get the passwords.

My previous router, a belkin g, was inconsistent. I currently have a mac and I am looking to use the router in a dorm room.

I have a d-link N router, which is comprised of 3 wireless connections. The network is G speed because 2 of the adapters are G and N functionality isn’t possible in mixed networks or something.
One of the G adapters broke and needs to be replaced. I realize N speeds aren’t possible due to the network being mixed, but what about the signal strength/reception of the N adapter? The G adapter that broke had horrible signal strength/connection (almost 24/7 11 mbps, sometimes but very inrequently and briefly 18), so I am wondering if since the network is mixed wiill the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE connection be 54 mbps even if I’m just at the time interacting with the N router (meaning, I am not transferring files from a G adapter’d computer, just getting the internet connection from the N router/computer with the nN adapter)?
Bonus question: Good recommendations for G USB adapters?
I was going to go with d-link because that is the same brand as router (broke adapter is netgear), but I read there are extremely frequent longetivity issues with their G adapter and the computer this would be for is on 24/7.
im aware of the n speeds only helping lan speed. ::) thanks for trying to look out for me though
trying to explain my situation was too difficult. sorry. but your advice has been taken to heart and will help me make a decision

I bought this router not too long ago and when I inserted the easy set-up key, I get this message saying that "your internet cable not plugged in" but the thing is my internet cable is plugged in properly into my Valet. I then went to the router web page setup to enable my MAC Address Clone but I’m still not getting any internet access. I don’t know what else to do here. Little help here?

I just got the Apple Time Capsule which is a wireless N router. Should I upgrade my network cards to N from G? I have 2 mac’s which run "N" but my 3 windows computers still have "G".

There is companies that state they can turn cell into a router.What is a good app to use?

Is the N router going to give me better speeds or is it going to be the same due to the type of card that I have. I couldn’t find any info telling me if my card is N compatible and/or just G and that the speeds are going to be the same no matter which one I use. Thanks

Ok so I’ve been in IT class for a while, and all I hear is "Routers split networks" yes they do, I know what switches do and all that stuff, but my teacher always refers to Routers as the "Commercial routers" not the little crapy ones we have at home. Is there actually a way to configure them to act like a real router that splits networks?

I want my router to send a wireless signal without assigning ip addresses. I am in a school and have received two wireless routers to expand our wireless network. I want my machines to get their ip address from our main network not from the wireless routers. Can I turn these routers into just signal senders?

I need to buy a bit to do this job and I don’t know which one to buy. Also, do I really need a plunge router to do this? Can’t I drill a small hole in advance using a drill and then use my regular router to cut the opening out? I plan to use a rectangular guide that I build from scrap wood to keep the shape exact.

I have cable internet that comes straight into my house without any modem. It’s always on and I have a static IP. So how do I configure my router? It assumes that since I have cable internet, I have a cable modem. My research on the web always assumes a modem. Puzzling!

I’ve been connecting my Xbox 360 to the modem directly, but I always have to power cycle the modem after reconnecting the ethernet cable and my dad’s getting scared off messing up the power plug. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate them. Please don’t suggest ‘get a router’ because I am going to get one soon, just not sure when.
And I really am trying to avoid spending more money than I already will be.
And I already leave the power cord plugged in, forgot to mention. Thanks for trying to help though.

I know there are a lot of questions about wireless routers but I’ve tried all the advices and it still doesn’t work. I have an Acer Aspire 5630 laptop, and a D-Link wireless router. My broadband internet connection works fine when I connect the laptop with a cable, but it doesn’t detect the wireless connection (the computer’s wireless detecting option is on), I get secure signals from other people in my building, but not from my router. What should I do?
