I just built my first pc and realized I can't connect it to the internet. An ethernet cable is out of the question since our router is on the clear opposite side of the house. So now I'm looking at some wireless adapters. I have decided that, for simplicity's sake and portability, I want to go with a usb adapter.
View 1 RepliesII am trying to download and watch an educational video and it won't play.The owners of the videos said to make sure I had the latest Flash Player...I have '11'. And that my computer speed was high.Did a speed test and got Download: 73 kbps and Upload: 240 kbps...which means nothing to me.Don't know if those are good or bad speeds fast enough or too slow.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Motorola Surfboard Extreme 6580 as my modem and main access point, but I have equipment downstairs in my home theater that I need LAN connections for. I want to set up another router/device as a wireless-n bridge to plug these into, and I don't want to spend more than necessary, but I want the best performance from my 6580. As the 6580 is only singal band, and my wife's computer only runs on 2.4ghz, I think I don't really need a dual band device, but a single band n device. I bought a netgear WNR2000v3 router, but when I try to bridge it (enable wireless repeating function) it tells me that I can not enable this function with AES, TKIP, or AES + TKIP enabled. The 6580 tells me I should use AES to get the best speed, and the WNR2000 won't let me use any security when bridging (the router's menu page hints tell me to enable WEP, but I don't even see an option for that, and it's pretty worthless as security I've been told). I think I need to return this WNR2000v3 and get something else.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in the market for a wireless router/AP. It must have gigabit LAN and would like it to have 300mbps wireless rates. I've been looking at the Linksys E3000 but I'm a little hesitant because of some of the reviews about this thing getting hot. Heck, even reading thru threads on here, it seems like there's mixed reviews on most everything!
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo Basically I have the dell d810 and the wireless on it is less than 20 ft and I cant figure out why.. My other dell laptop has perfect connection all the way down stairs and this d810 doesn't even get full connection from 10 feet away!!! I have tried to take out the wireless card and put it back in but that didn't work so I am just wandering if it is a driver issue or the wireless card is just screwed up.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI deployed wireless mesh with 3 RAP and 1 MAP (AIR-LAP1522AG-E-K9 with 4 antenna) + WLC 2504. The AIR-ANT2480V-N are installed on pole from a height of 17-15 m. I noticed that I can't get a good signal (front of antenna between 40m to 60m I got between -60 and -70 dbm) with slow connection.
1) What is the best antenna height on pilone?
2) Can I use other antenna (directional) with AIR-LAP1522AG-E-K9?
3) what is the area covered by antenna?
4) the RAP and MAP establish a neighbor between them and work with same fréquence for Mesh connection. is there any impact with that?
I have a small building which has two levels. I have a 1230 on the top floor and about 10 people. Below that floor is another office with 10 people. They don't all use wireless, infact its only used for guests and smartphones, tablets of which there aren't many.I was wondering instead of sticking another unit in the downstairs office, Can I either use two anntenna's, one on each floor connected to the one controller or is there a good antenna which will do both floors?The floor is concrete, I have one antenna attached to the right hand connector of the 1230 and can get 2 or 3 bars in the lower office. Thou as its a flat antenna this doesn't cover the part of the office directly beneath it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been having the same issue. I'll start my laptop and it will start connecting to my home network (comcast docsis 3.0 modem to dlink dir 655 router) and be cool upstairs next to the router, but when I move downstairs the speed jumps down from 130 to 117 to 78 to 5.5 mbps. Its holding steady at 117mbps right now. I'm thinking of upgrading my router to a DIR 827 hd media router 2000 so I can get dual coverage and less interference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 3 WAP200e APs in a client site and I am having a problem with the signal between the APs and Motorola 9000 barcode scanners.The first one went in about 6 months ago and it worked fine. The client then asked for two more to be installed in a couple of rooms adjacent to the room where the first AP was installed. They use barcode scanners with these APs and since the two new ones were installed, the first on is dropping the connection to the scanner. I have turned the new APs off and everything is back to normal. I have reduced the power output of the two new APs and the situation has improved, but they still get problems, especially on Monday morning, where it won't work at all for the first few hours, and then bursts into life and works fine for the rest of the week.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have just installed our first CT2504.After install I have found a dramatic drop in signal strength compared to the wireless survey result obtained.All of our site surveys include real world testing using an AP, in this case a AP1041N.In doubt I retested a section using an AP1041N in the same location as one of the recently deployed LAP1041N.
In the same location a LAP1041N has between -10 and -20dbi difference in SNR compared to the test AP1041N.For example locations that tested with -60dbi using an AP1041N have little to no coverage using the LAP1041N installed.This applies irrespective of the WLC automatic control over Tx power or manually setting the LAP TX to the highest level.
My Acer Aspire 5610Z laptop will automatically connect to public hotspot wireless network but when I attempt to connect to a wireless network at home, set up using a Netgear modem, I only ever get 'local' internet connection only. My wife's HP laptop has no problem making the home wireless connection.

I received this router today, I have a MacBook Pro and a iPhone. The router came with a very small cd, I was very disappointed because , when I purchased this router from amazon , the discription read that this router is Mac compatiable. But that is not true if the cd is not compatiable! My problem is I get a good signal for wifi, but I can not open any websites with my Mac or my iphone.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhich Intel network cards runs well with E4200 (latest FW)? I mean good connection and transfers rate. I have two clients with the same cards (Intel 4965agn, latest driver) and I got transfer rates at 144 Mbps with both radios working (2.4 and 5GHZ on the E4200). When I try to use 5Ghz only it drops to 54 Mbps and for 2.4Ghz it drops for 130 Mbps. Could I reach better transfers rate with a Intel 4965agn card (300 or 450 Mbps)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a PC attached to a standard 192.168.1.1 router with port forwarding turned on. The PC has an IP of 192.168.1.10 and I have Port 3389 (RDP) on the router forwarded to that PC's internal IP.
I currently have a DynDNS hostname, example.dyndns.org, and I type that into MSTSC (remote desktop) whenever I'm traveling.
But, is there a better way of doing this? The IP of the PC is not static, but it rarely changes. I do have a domain registered with GoDaddy and have full access to DNS records.
A thunderstorm about 3 hours ago fried my DIR-655 rev. A3 router. I heard a zapping noise and that was it. All the signals are messed up, even after a hardware reset, and the router runs extermely hot, with lots intermittently blinking and no connections.
I need another router with similar features, especially with a USB port for my printer.I found the DIR-655 reliable a long as it lasted, but I never upgraded the firmware, which was fine with me. Nonetheless I want to buy a more modern solution.
Talking to tech support at D-Link the DIR-825 was recommended. Is the DIR-825 router a good router for my needs ? Is it a worhty upgrade to the DIR-655 router ? Does Shareport work well with it ?
My house is wired so any demanding network transfers are done over the wired network, wireless is reserved for casual stuff. This month my internet connection is eventually going to exceed 100Mbps so I need to dump my WRT54G and while I'm sure the RT-N66U is very nice, I could save $100 buying the RT-N16.
I have a gigabit switch that works great and handles all of the local traffic, I just need the router for DHCP, NAT, basic wireless connectivity, and it needs to be able to pull in over 100Mbps from the internet. So is the RT-N16 adequate for me?
Any good WiFi card. As accordind to my network engineer my 6 year old Netgear WG111v2 has some problem as a result the connection continuously looses connection.
