I have 3 devices I need to connect to my router 2 floors under me. I was wondering if there is a way that i could run one Ethernet cable from my router downstairs to the devices and not have to constantly plug the wire into the device i am using. Mainly is there like a hub for this that i could use to connect all three to the internet all at the same time using one wire running from my router.
View 3 RepliesI currently have two laptops, a PS3, one desktop (technically two, but right now its not working, hoping to make it wired, but we will see), a smart phone and an Ipod touch. The first few are used the most though. I have the router currently downstairs in the kitchen in the corner (I know terrible place) unfortunately it was the only place beside the room upstairs, which tbh I don't know why we didn't do, which is still towards an end to the house. The middle most part of the house would be in between the kitchen and the dinning room on the first floor, although it doesn't have a great place for the coax jack to be installed. The other room would be mine upstairs. So the question is; is the router better off upstairs or down stairs. Also the router is a Linksys WRT54GS so its only G sadly. I'd like the best signal strength as possible spending the least amount of money as possible. Sadly I game (PS3,Laptop,Desktop) which also would make it awesome to have some of these wired, but theirs no great location to get the best of both worlds. If I had to choose it would be my desktop to be wired which is why my room for the router would be nice if its a good place for the signal.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo my router (apple airport base) is in my basement. I need to get the internet to run all the way up to the second floor because the wireless N network really only works well in the basement and main floor. Unfortunately our builder never wired us ethernet ports along with our phone jacks. What would be the best solution without running new wire? Is there a way to convert the phone jack wires to ethernet? Do one of those power line converters work well? I would really like to avoid having to drill for new wires.

Additionally, the antennae needs to be out of sight. I was considering placing an AP under the access flooring (and under the desk) with the antennae mounted above the floor directly above the AP. trying to place an atennae at floor level rather than ceiling height?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless router on the ground floor of my home which is wired to my PC on the 3rd floor. The wifi signal is of poor quality on the 3rd floor. I cannot move the router to a different floor since all of my connections are wired through the home into my networking room (on the ground floor where my router is). I wish to add a media receiver to a different room on the 3rd floor that is not wired already for networking. Streaming video files wirelessly to the media receiver from my router will not work because as stated previously the signal quality is poor on the 3rd floor. My mobo on my computer has ASUS wifi GO. Can I enable the wifi go on the mobo of my PC (located on 3rd floor) to connect to the media receiver (also on the 3rd floor) for streaming? The media receiver will also have an internet browser so will I be able to connect to the internet as well if it is networked to my PC and my PC is connected to my router on the ground floor?
I basically want to keep my PC connected to my main router for high DL speeds and also have my PC networked wirelessly to my media receiver using the on board wifi go. If possible I'd also like to be able to access the internet on the media receiver via the PC.
On our conference floor, AP 1242AG already exist but I am going to add AP 3602i to increase wireless coverage. . Any issue or concern with this type of setting?

My problem is the signal strength is a little weak on the main floor at the other end of the house. I would like to add a second access point to cover that end of the house. Do I need to get another DIR-825 and wire it to the original or is there another option? I obviously don't need all the features of the DIR-825 for the 2nd AP, but I cant find a less expensive option that will still allow me to use both bands.

I just bought the e1000 router today and I'm already having trouble. I got it setup the first time and all my computers set up with it and it works fine for internet. Everything is snappy and responsive and I don't have any of the problems I did with my old belkin. However, I am unable to connect to the router using cisco connect or the web interface. I need to forward ports, configure wireless security, etc etc. All I did was disable the guest account through cisco connect, and then when the software just sat there doing nothing with the spinning circle in the middle, I opened task manager and killed the process to get it to go away. Now I can't connect using either cisco connect or the web interface.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt first I can connect to Internet for 1 min and fails afterwards even if I reconnect to the router. Then I turn on the Access Control settings on my (NETGEAR) router and put my laptop into the trusted wireless stations list, now it can connect to Internet for 1 min and fails however it works for another 1 min if i reconnect to the router. So now I need to reconnect to the router every minute or so.I can connect to the Internet via Ethernet cables, so I am quite sure it's the wireless problem on my router but not the service provider's fault.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOne day I got a blue screen saying there was a hardware or driver failure with the network adapter on the motherboard. I couldn't resolve the problem so I went out and got a new network adaptor. Pluged it in, windows found drivers for it. But I was getting a Unidentified network problem.I have a Linksys E1000 router, internet works on my laptop and xbox360 fine wired and wireless. So I changed ports on the router, changed cables, even changed routers. Still the PC wasn't seeing the router. So I download the latest drivers for the Realtek network adapter, install them, still nothing. So I thought maybe the router is to blame, downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it onto the router, reset it. Still the same. At this point I was sure the new network card was faulty. So I took the computer to the shop where i bought the card. He disabled the old network adapter in the bios. And he had the Internet up and running in the shop. I was happy and took it home... Still the same problem! Rang ISP done a lot of disabling, enabling, static IP no fix... except he told me to bypass the router and try plugging the PC directly to the modem, and that connects fine. I can get internet from the modem, but not through the router, yet everything else works fine though the router. As I said cables and ports in the router have all been changed and checked. When I do the network diagnostics in windows 7 is says, does not have a valid IP configuration.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI bought a Cisco-Linksys E3200 8 months ago and it worked well until last month. I usually power down the router after midnight & power up in the morning and evevry time it can connect to internet through DSL modem without problem until this Feb. Most of the time after powering up the router it just can't connect to internet anymore. I am sure the AT&T DSL modem is working. I have to reboot/reset the router & DSL modem several time to get router to connect to internet again. The order of resetting/rebooting DSL modem & E3200 router seems to make no difference. It just appears suddenly the router can connect to internet by chance. I changed router IP and it didn't work either. It's really annoying becuase I have to spend 10~40 minutes to resetting/rebooting DSL modem & router to get internet connection every day.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a BEFSR41 v2.1 wired router which was put aside when replaced with a wireless router. Today I wanted to hook it up and use it again, however my computer was not automatically assigned a connection, and I didn't remember how I last had it set up, so I simply reset the router and tried again.
Since the reset, I have not been able to get a connection to the router from any computer using any port or any cable. The LED lights for ports 1-4 do not light up, and setting a static IP address still does not permit me to connect or even ping the router.
The LEDs light up as normal and go through the patterns during the boot-up process. Once that is finished, all LEDs are off apart from the power light (which is steady). If I plug in the modem to the WAN port, the links light is solid and the Act LED blinks. A loopback connection between ports cause the LEDs to light up fine (tried all port combinations).
If I unplug the power, hold the reset button 15 seconds, then power it back on, plug a connection in from my secondary router to the WAN port, the router shows up in the Active Clients list, but I cannot connect to the IP listed, even if manually associating the IP with the MAC address listed..
Because of all this, I can't re-flash the firmware even using the tftp method, since it fails to connect to the IP address in the first place.
What I have tried so far:
- 30/30/30 reset (multiple times)
- manually setting static IP 192.168.1.100 with gateway 192.168.1.1
- manually associating the ip 192.168.1.1 with the mac address of the router with netsh

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm getting decent signal through my 3 story home with my new router, however, there are some dead spots on the 3rd floor.
This is my setup:
1. WNDR-3700 Router on main floor
- TV is hooked up router (internet tv)
- VOIP modem hooked up to router
- USB drive hooked up to router for transferring files from computers upstairs to router USB driver
So basically, the router MUST stay where it is. I'm wondering if it's possible to WIRELESS-LY connect my WNDR-3700 router to another BELKIN wireless router. possible at all?
I have a "normal" router powering my home wireless network and everything is just fine. However, there are some devices that I want to run exclusively over a VPN, but they do not support VPN applications. I understand that there are some VPN routers available that have the VPN support built-in at the firmware level (Buffalo AirStation WZR-HP-AG300H). This is exactly what I need, but I don't want to run my entire home network through the VPN, only certain devices. So, can I do something as simple as connect my VPN router directly to the "normal" router and effectively run two different wireless networks in the house?Would daisy chaining the routers in this way interfere with the VPN tunneling ability?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using a laptop with Windows XP and I'm trying to connect to my linksys router but nothing happens when I try to connect with the wireless card utility. I've also tried using the Wireless Zero Config. and nothing happens either. I'm directly connected to the modem right now so I know the modem and router work as I have also connected to it with another laptop. I originally thought that it had something to do with this hpsetup network that my wireless card kept connecting to automatically. I couldn't find any online info about how to get rid of it permanently but after I changed the settings to "only connect to access point networks", my laptop has stopped connecting to it automatically. I can't figure out what exactly is wrong. The only other thing I can think of right now is that I changed the router gateway IP a few weeks back cause my modem and router had the same gateway ip address. Anyways, here's my ipconfig info. while I'm directly connected to my modem. [CODE]

I was online playing a game and the electricity went out, so we left for about 2 hours. When we got back we decided to get back online but my laptop decided not to reconnect to the router. The other two laptops had no problem. We reset the router about 3 or 4 times. I deleted the router so i would have to connect for the first time again. I also did a system restore. These attempts all failed. I was able to connect to my boyfriends smart phone, but the signal is too weak to do anything with. I am able to connect via Ethernet but the router is a bad location for me to use it all the time.

Only after I added a switch, and removed it, did it stop working.This isn't like the multitude of other similar problems where some can connect but some can't, NO device, i mean NO DEVICE, can connect to this Acom Router. Even after I unplugged the LAN from it, it refuses to accept my signal. In Mac, it just times out. In windows, it says it can't connect. In D-LInk manager, it times out too. On Apple devices, can't connect too.it's just an external relay router used to extend my signal. I have an exact same one for the ground floor, but that's working fine. I can't seem to find a reset button, and turning it off and on doesn't seem to work, so what can I do? Or should I manually connect to it with a LAN cable and tinker with it?
