View 1 RepliesI recently performed a windows 7 update and when I opened my computer the next morning, the wifi wouldn't work. All the other computers in the house work, but this one. The switch is turned on, have checked device manager and NOTHING is listed there. The green light won't even come on when the switch is activated. I am not computer literate, but have resorted to everything except cleaning the system and rebooting. I am currently using a usb wifi adapter?

All computers are hooked up by cable.I have tried a friends advice to plug in the exact IP address of the desktop (and vice versa on the netbook) but still the netbook cat find the desktop nor can the desktop find the netbook. I have tried home sharing in Windows 7 to no avail as I have been prompted to initiate a home network both on the netbook and the desktop when I think it is suppose to be initiated on one machine and same home network joined by the other.DSL Modem --> Linksys WRTGL router running Tomato --> switch -->various rooms (cont.)Family room (one of the various rooms) has a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH AirStation (with one USB port) --> 1) netbook and 2) Denon AVR receiver (with network capabilities)I have a switch in the den and the desktop and laptop computers can read off each other through folder/drive sharing even with Kaspersky Internet Security running in the background so I'm sure it's not Kaspersky meddling with my network sharing. If both are on the wireless network, the netbook can access the desktop and vice versa.Is it possible for the netbook to read off the desktop based on my current set up? I can't bring the desktop down as we use them in the den and will not have room for it in the family room. I am not inclined to purchase a stand-alone HTPC at the moment if there is a network sharing
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHaving some serious problems on the networking front here at home. I have 3 PC's and 2 Xbox's that run constantly. Our Internet bandwidth is Insight's 50.0 which is 50Mb download speed 5Mb upload speed. The problem we're having is this. Ever since we upgraded from dual 20Mb lines on a Cisco RV042 to a 50Mb on a DIR-655 we've been having latency issues. I have everything turned off in the router. It's basically there to give out IP numbers and thats it. All security is handled from the PC's themselves. Bandwidth tests are fine, I sustain download speeds above 7MB/s using download managers. But pings are terrible. Xbox live is terrible, PC online gaming is terrible. Pingtest.com is terrible. Only when behind routers. I've tried it behind 3 seperate routers. The DIR-655, the Belkin f5d8236 that insight provided me, and the cisco rv042 originally used for dual wan routing. all of which are met with serious failure.
If I plug directly in to the modem pings are fine. Add a router and pings go to shit.

My computer had a virus so I ran Avast virus scanner and repaired or removed any infected files. Now the program doesn't start automatically like it used to and when I try to open it i get an error message saying "Unable to locate files: C Program Files BelkinF5D7050v3rdcm2k.dll". I also have the disk for this but when I try to run it it says "An error occurred while defining the dialogue box." I also get this message when I try to uninstall or change it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWireless networking and access point. I setup a wireless network at a hotel with a net gear router n, three access points, and three repeaters. For some reason; one the access point keep losing the default gateway address. Or it could be all three access point could be losing the default address. I turn off the router and pull the power from all the access point. Then turn the router on and plug the power back into the access point. The default address is back and network working great. I try to find out why the default address keeps missing from the access point. The router is new.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI`m trying to set up a relative`s Internet up so that it is wireless; currently the router takes signal from cable, not phone, is wired only, and has just one ethernet port. I know the number of ports can easily be expanded using a switch, but is it possible to buy a piece of hardware which could be plugged into the router to broadcast a wireless signal as well? I have looked quite thoroughly for anything that could do this but I`m pretty new to networking

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently swapped in a ssd for this laptop. I reinstalled windows Vista Home Pre and the drivers using the disks that originally came with the laptop. Things basically work. But I no longer seem to have a wireless adapter. Now, I'm pretty sure that swapping a hd and reinstalling software doesn't make a piece of hardware disappear. But I am at a loss. I loaded all the drivers. When I go to the network and share center, the window says there are not networks available. When I click on diagnose and repair, it tells me to install the wireless hardware.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat I want to do is setup a Tablet for use and share my one Internet connection with it and my desktop. I do not want the desktop and the Tablet networked with each other. there is a Tablet on Newegg: Velocity Micro Cruz Reader R103. the details say it's communication is 802.11b/g Wireless LAN. so I copy and paste that on Newegg and get: D-Link DIR-601 Wireless Broadband Router. not sure if that's what i need or what the configuration would be but I kind of know how to set it up.my question is can I connect a Desktop and a Tablet or any PC device to a router like this with out networking the individual units with each other? just to where it serves as more a splitter. is there any wireless alternatives to only "split" the Internet connection and not network the desktop and Tablet?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an 802.11n USB Wireless Lan card on a desktop with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. Whenever im searching the web, say i go to NFL.Com to check my fantasy squad, the pages wont load, and i see my connection has been dropped, now every time i click on the signal bars on the bottom right hand corner, it says no connection, but after about 2 seconds of clicking on it, it connects again. So in order for me to get my connection back, i have to click on my signal bar to get it back, which is ridiculous. I have other computers in my home, all of which do not have this problem, so its definitely something in my desktop, i also have about 3 wireless adapters i've tested it on, all of which do the exact same thing on my desktop only. I've also went to power management under configuration for my USB adapter and turned off the ''Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'', it still drops my connection every 3-5 minutes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHome Networking: I would like to add an 802.11n wireless router to an existing Verizon FiOS modem/router.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?
Before I put in place any network security appliance POC, my wireless network worked fine.Note: ethernet works fine all the time and confirm my internet is okay too. Just wireless.
First time, I got Palo Alto vendor to setup POC. It screwed up my wireless. We removed on 1st day itself and re-configured everything all over again.Now before holiday break, Sonicwall vendor setup POC for us. It worked fine though for 1 week and now the wireless gone crazy again.
3 bars, 2 bars, 5 bars, sometimes no bar.Then when there's POC, my guest wireless network will dead too.
I can't figure out the problem and what's causing such instability?If I understand correctly, this is how my network works:-
sonicwall nsa 2400 (router 192.168.1.1)
cisco linksys wireless (before sonicwall, we used this as router. Now used as wireless access point).
tp-link 48-Port 10/100Mbps + 4-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
is there anything in particular I should take note about? or any tools to analyze my wireless network problems?
I recently changed internet provider and rented a D-Link N 300 Router. On most days everything works well. However on some days the internet connection on my new laptop that has Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130 network adapter get really terrible (usually on Friday and Saturday). At first I thought that the problem was with provider, but now I find out that my old laptop that does not support 802.11n (only 802.11g) has excellent internet connection (at the same time when the new laptop struggles).
How can I troubleshoot what is causing this problem - the laptop network adapter or the router? Is there some setting for network adapter to force using 802.11g?
My laptop is running Windows 7, if that matters.
I have an application where it would be useful to use a windows tablet PC. However there is no wireless network available and so the tablet has to plug into a wall data point.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhave a Dell laptop running Windows 98 on it and I'm trying to get a Linksys WPC54G ver. 4 PCMCIA adapter working on it. I finally got the adapter installed along with its device drivers and other required software such as IE6 and I have it connected to the router in my house. The only problem is, the card shows a connection between the card and the router but a broken connection between the router and the internet. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this considering all of the other wireless devices in our home (iPods, laptops, phone, tablets etc) connect to it which makes me think I have to designate (I'm no good at networking) an IP address or DNS like you would be able to on WinXP, Vista, or 7.I had a friend come over and he was looking through the admin settings on the router and said that it only supports WEP encryption, not WPA. The router is the standard router that Verizon gave us when they came in to install FIOS. The card says it supports WEP and WPA (Radius and PSK whatever that means) and I have it set to WEP and entered the password but I can't seem to get it connected to the internet. Would it work if I bought a new router or is there some kind of thing I need to punch into the Internet Protocol properties like you would on later OS'?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust a few days ago, my router started acting up. We have several laptops and phones all connected fine, then I will suddenly lose internet access. The windows 7 networking icon is showing me connected but no internet access, however, I can't even connect to the router ip address over wifi. If I use a wired ethernet connection, then everything still works. If I power cycle the router, then everything will work for an hour or two before it drops the wifi connection again. When the wifi goes down, all computers can see the network, but none can connect to it. From windows 7, it just times out.
What could be causing this problem, and steps can I take to troubleshoot this kind of problem?
this might sound straight forward, but every other pc or console can find and connect to my router.This issue seems to happen about once every few months, sometimes it comes back by itself and reconnects completely fine.
There isn't a "user limit" on our router.Wireless adapter is dell wireless 1505 draft 802.11n wlan mini-card.
Have restarted PC and uninstalled and reinstalled the card.I tried to set the i.p address to static but it says "adapter disconnected" so won't allow me to edit any settings, despite it being able to find neighbour's wireless very easily.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDo any of Linksys routers have the recently popular guest network access feature where you can create a password protected or no password secondary network that provides internet-only access to guests and prevents them from accessing your main network (computers, printers, HDDs etc?). Does Linksys's highest end WRT610N have a similar feature that works slightly differently but does the same thing?

Within a property without an available adsl line I'm simply trying to network a wireless laptop with a wireless printer. Both devices recognise the router, etc, but problem sending file for printing to the printer. (laptop does not detect printer). Is the lack of an internet connection the issue or simply a configuration issue?
