WNDR3700 USB Vs Mini-PCI Express Wireless Networking
Mar 13, 2011
I've got an older desktop that needs a dual band upgrade and would like to know if a PCIe adapter w/ external antennas for desktop wireless is better/faster than the USB variety? They cost about the same. The router is a dual band WNDR3700 v1.
I've heard salespeople at retailers say, for desktop, go w/ the USB as they offer better performance than PCIe adapters even w/ external antennas... Does anyone know if the extra noise within the desktop case kills whatever benefits that the extra power and external antennas that a PCIe card has over a USB adapter?
I have the Wireless 5300 PCI Express Internal Half-Height Mini-Card ordered and now need to find the drivers. My system is a 1735 Studio laptop running 64bit Windows 7. The Dell sales rep said the card came only with the card and a flat head screw.
Recently bought a NAS (Synology DS212j), upgraded to a gigabit router (Netgear WNDR3700), and now want to utilize the pre-wired ethernet ports in our condo. How to do this last part.
Do i just plug one of the LAN ports from the router into the wall using a Cat5e cable? Then the signal will be routed to all ethernet ports through the patch panel?
I located a patch panel in the closet, but not sure if its wired correctly or which connection goes where. I took some pics that you can see here: URL you can see in one of the pictures that some of the cables are only connected at one side.
I have set up a private domain network at home. I have a domain controller, a DNS server, and a DHCP server all running on one Windows 2003 Server machine. I have about 10 other machines around the house, getting their IP addresses from this DHCP server.
I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router.
I am about to get 5 public IP addresses from my ISP, and I would like to make some of these machines publicly accessible (while still accessible from the other machines in the network).
I found this link that says on my web server (one of the public machines), that I should use a second NIC and set that up to connect to my router (and get a private IP address from my DHCP server).
I recently installed a very basic version of XP on my old laptop (Gateway MT3707).After hours of searching for the correct drivers, I found them, and installed them. After installing the correct drivers for wireless internet I was able to pull up the list and find my network on it.When double clicking on our wireless network it asks for a network key (also called WEP key or WPA key).Now we have a password for our network, but after an exhausting amount of tries that won't work. I not sure if that is what its looking for. In our apartment we run mac OSX, windows vista, etc., but usually the password for the network is satisfactory. I have never ran into this problem.I hate to be a noob, but I don't know where to go from here.
I loose the ability to connect and I was thinking if I could extend the wireless network by adding a DAP-1522.I want to have the WNDR3700 and the DAP-1522 connected via wireless and using a laptop I want to be able to access the wired network from anywhere in the facility.
Just got my router running and when I connected to it via my laptop, it didn't ask for a password and it says unsecured connection when I put my mouse over it. Where do I go in the settings? I do not see it at all?
The last WNDR3700 is in my media closet at the other end of the house essentially serving as an AP. I get weak signal in the garage on a standard WiFi card. Thing is I am installing an IP camera soon, so I need ethernet connect ability. Hoping to not have to buy another WNDR3700 as they are pricey. The bottom line goal is to have a router or AP out in the garage to connect my IP camera. What would be the best way to accomplish this? Running a cable is out of the question price wise right now. I have no problem buying a directional antenna and pointing it towards the house, but this would require the router to have external antenna.
I cannot connect through my wireless router (Netgear WNDR3700) WITH MY INSPIRION DUO. I can connect with a verizon MYFI wireless card, and alo through ethernet on Duo. I get "Problem with wireless adapter or access point" The software driver is newest. System ism W7 Home premium
I received 3 emails on my laptop and haven't received another since. Why isn't my emails coming through on my laptop but coming through just fine on my desk computer?
I'm sure it's on here but because I dont understand the name of what I'm looking for, I'm having trouble searching. My main network is setup for wireless via a netgear wndr3700. I'd like to use my old linksys wrt54g v5 to connect to that network wirelessly and allow me to connect my xbox via wired ethernet. Basically instead of buying a wireless adapter for the xbox, i'd like to know if/ how i can use my linksys router instead.
I bought a netgear router and usb card for my B120. If I get the wireless card for the B120 can I still use the router I already have for this? Where do I find the correct Express Card for my laptop? I have searched the dell site for the part but cant find it.
I am trying to configure a 3300 Wireless Print Adapter with a NET GEAR WNDR3700 Wireless N Router. During the Configuration if I have no security set up on my network, the 3300 establishes a connection. If I however, turn any form of security on ( WEP, WPA-PSK [TKIP, WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] ), the Connection fails. No security is not an option.
This happened while switching routers. The 3300 worked fine on my D-Link Wireless G router (WEP). I was wondering how to resolve it.?
So I have a Netgear N600 WNDR3700 wireless router setup at home, and it works great for wireless, but when I plug in my desktop with CAT6 Ethernet cable to the router (didn't bother putting a wifi card in my desktop) for some reason it won't connect to the internet. I know the cable works because I've used it in the past, but for some reason I can't get it to work with my Netgear router.
I have just recently replaced my Netgear router with an EA3500 and have it bridged t an Airport Express. From there I have an ethernet cable attached to an AV receiver (Pioneer 1021k), but all to often now with this new router to use any of the features of the receiver ie Airplay, iOS app remote, I must restart the router EVERY time. This is frustrating because the these issues were never present with the netgear router.
I get frequest Airport Express wireless connection drop and reconnect with my replacement e4200v2 running the latest firmware. I have it connected the 5Ghz band and set to channel 161.
I added an airport express wirelessly to my E3000 network at home. Other wireless devices (laptop) sometimes have issues seeing it within the network. If these devices are wired in the network they don't have any issues seeing the airport express. Is there any special configuration I need to do to my E3000 so that wireless devices can see each other? I also had the same issue with my ps3 for streaming from wireless laptop to wireless ps3.
When it comes to networking and require some advice on setting up my wrt61on router with my airport express. I have managed to get it all connected up and working but am suffering frequent dropouts while streaming music. I have done a little reading and have tried changing a few settings on the router but have found no improvement. My set up is as follows.
-Modem connected to WRT610N Router -Desktop Computer connected to network via wusb600N dongle -Airport Express connected via wif -Using Iphone 4 as remote
Is there a way where i can set up the airport express on a total different frequency to everything else in the house i.e laptops iphones etc to prevent these cutouts.
My problem is this: Randomly, the DIR-825 will prohibit streaming to my AirPort Express via AirTunes. It'll also disappear from Bonjour Browser and AirPort Utility. I can connect directly to it, if I enter the IP into the AirPort utility directly.The only way to get it to come back is to either reboot the DIR-825, reboot the AE, or unplug the ethernet to the AE.
I have an Airport Express and two wireless routers. The Airport Express is connected to Router 1 via Ethernet. Router 2 is connected to Router 1 via Ethernet. Since I like to know which Wireless Router I'm connected to, Router 1 & 2 use different SSIDs. Router 1 is the DHCP server (DHCP turned off on Router 2). All security settings are turned OFF.Router 1 is a Linksys WRT120N with latest firmware and Router 2 is a Belkin Wireless Router.I can connect via wireless to Router 1 and Router 2 via the seperate SSIDs and have Internet connectivity (Router 1 is connected the the Internet) and print to a wireless printer connecter to the Router 1 wireless network.
Now here is the strange thing. I can see the Airport Express only if I connect to the Router 2 wireless network!!! I cannot see it if I connect to the Router 1 wireless network, yet the Airport Express is connected via Ethernet to ROUTER 1 !So for some reason, the LinkSys WRT120N Wireless Router won't route the Airport Express to a wireless client on it's own wireless network, but it will route it to an Ethernet client which is what any client connected to Router 2 wirelesslessly is seen as. When connected to router 1 wirelessly I can ping the IP of the Airport but something is preventing it from working with iTunes/iPhone/Airport Utility. It is bizarre because these are all devices connected to the same LAN. SInce I can ping it, it tells me that it isn't a routing issue, but there must be some sort of filter between the wireless and ethernet that is preventing the Airport protocol from being transmitted.
I'm checking a mini laptop for a friend and found out that the wireless does not work on it. First I tried checking the button to activate it and it didn't work, even if the indicador says it's off/on it doesn't have an effect on the network adapter. The PC is running Windows 7 32-bit. I downloaded the Ralink 2011 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter driver and tried reinstalling it. Funny thing is that the installation went smoothly but in the driver details the name of the driver shows the default Windows one, 3.0.0.14 I beleive. Tried again to install the driver since I thought it was a bad download or something but the same results. I've tried with the Atheros driver but the installer said that since the card is not present no drivers would be installed, so I assume that the model is the Ralink. So far the network card appears disabled on the network adapter window, and if I try to enable it, it remains disabled.
My provider is Comcast and it is a cable modem.I have a HP mini 311 netbook running XP, AVG, and ZoneAlarm. Recently I lost the ability to see any wireless networks.When I try to repair I get an error saying it can't repair the connection. I am able to plug in and connect. [code]
Cant connect to wireless networks with HP MINI 110 Notebook....Device manager show Atheros Fast enternet is connected and working properly. Dont see any icon on taskbar for wireless.OS is Win XP PRo...
I use Comcast cable as my ISP. My cable modem is located downstairs in my house. The cable modem has an Ethernet cable connected to port in a wall right next to it. In another room in my house I have an Ethernet port in the wall that goes to my wireless router. Connected to my WNDR3700v3 is a Synology DS213. When I am on my wireless network my computer can see it. When I use a Ethernet port in another area of my house I cannot see it.There is a network switch that is located elsewhere in the house. A cable modem connects to that network switch. A Ethernet cable comes out of the switch to a port that then connects to the other ports in the house.When I am connected via the wireless network my router IP address is the same as when I am connected via a wire.What can I do so that when I am either on my wireless or wired network I can see the DS213?
In the settings, there is a spot in which you can set the range of IPs to assign to connected computers and other devices. This particular option is available under the "LAN" options. What I am seeing is that the only IP that is assigned within the range is the one and only device hardwired to the router. Everything else is being assigned IP addresses outside of the range. Am I missing something? I was under the assumption that any IP addresses assigned dynamically would be within the range whether they were wired or wireless
