Will A Wireless Router Work Without A Pc Switched On
Mar 22, 2011
is it possible to use a wireless router for making a wifi setup by connecting the router only to the broadband modem while the pc is kept switched off.if so which is the best bang for buck wireless router available now?
i am using dlink DIR-600L wireless router, the problem is i can connect to any device only if my laptop is on, the moment i swtich off my laptop my other devices dont work on wifi
One router is in a different bedroom to mine which my uses to connect to the internet. When this router is switched off,would it be possible to just have a second router in my room which I switch on and continue to use the net?
I recently got a new router, from BT, and replaced a switch with a cisco one. (which I don't think is the problem, as I have tested without the switch and it still times out) I only ever really notice it when im browsing on the web on any site. I use a wired connections I have not noticed this on any other machine how ever the timeouts are random and streaming/downloading seems to work fine.
This happened after I put on an ubuntu version called ICE. Now, if I load eg puppy linux the wireless adapter is invisible. I reinstalled Visa and it saw the wlan adapter but doesn't auto recognise now so I have to switch on manually. Can I put in a new adapter with 'n' capability?
I am having trouble with a newly configured install. Basically it seems that my centrally switched guest SSID is not functioning. As you change AP groups, which should change the interface associated with the SSID and also the dhcp client address, the client is retaining the original dhcp address from whichever AP group they first associated with.
I also have a locally switch WPA2 SSID at each location which is working fine. Clients are able to change dhcp address correctly as they move between AP groups. It just doesn't seem to be working on the guest network, which is odd because it was working earlier in the install. It has only started having issues yesterday afternoon.
The interface above is assigned to the guest SSID in one of the AP group. I assume this has something to do with it but I've been over my DHCP assignments on the core switch, local switch, controller, and dhcp server and can find no issue with the configuration..
I am not sure why as I am not using DOT1X at all. The guest is a pass-thru and the WPA2 network is just WPA + WPA2 with TKIP and AES. No DOT1X anywhere on the controller...
Im using 1131AG AP.Locally switched WLAN don't have problem.Authentication used: open/wpa-psk/wpa2-psk.Pinging the IP Address of the vWLC dynamic interface (WLAN-SSID Mapping) is ok, but with the gateway failed.
I am trying to enable the workgroup bridge mode on the 5ghz 802.11N radio of a Aironet 1262N, but when I select the workgroup bridge mode from the GUI the radio becomes disabled. If I select the Access Point role from the GUI then the radio instantly becomes enabled. The same thing happens if I attempt the same procedure with the 2.4ghz radio as well. I can get the radios from both bands enabled if I select the Access Point role. I made sure to check that both radios were not set to workgroup bridge as well. I am running 12.4(25d)JA1 code on the AP. This is my first time working with this type of AP.
I just switched to TWC from AT&T and one of my computers running Vista, via wireless, cannot open any inet sites. The browser appears to do its DNS thing, but it sits WAITING for the site then says it can't connect. I have 3 other computers, Vista and W7, and an Xbox that connect OK. IPCONFIG shows valid IP addresses, DNS and gateway. Firewall/AV is off. It connects fine via wire. AND it connects with no security on the router. The router is a Cisco E3000. The laptop is an HP.
I have a laptop network card (model 4965AGN) that came from a Gateway laptop. Will this same card work on a Dell laptop that uses the same model? Or will certain frimware that was created specifically for gateway not work with the Dell?
i must admit that i have very little experience in networking and i have just started cisco CCENT.i have a problem with setting up a small switched network i have a cisco 2960 layer 2 switch,2 workstations 2 straight through(patch)cables.I have connected the above setup but still i cant verify network connectivity by using ping command, the problem is assigning ip addresses and configuring interface internet connections
I have a HTPC that I use to feed two XBOX extenders (all are hardwired, through a switch). I was using the onboard Realtek NIC, but having some stuttering issues for live and recorded TV feeds. I installed a new Intel NIC, but cannot get the Xboxs to connect back using that connection. Everything else is working (Internet, NAS drives, etc) with that card, only the Xbox extenders. I did delete the original connection and tried adding back as new, but have since had to revert back to the original NIC.
They came and installed a router and disconnected my old one. I then connected my new ISP router to my switch and now Im just stuck. At one point I was able to connect to my drives but was unable to connect to the internet. But once I call the ISP they had me change setting for Ipv4 changed defualt gateway, Ip address and DNS after that I was unable to reconnect to my drives. I've done full shut downs and restarts and nothing has worked. 1 of the computers connects to the server through wifi. I also run a VPN.
he switch our internet and phone connection, our phone is now with vonage and internet to uBEE. SO ever since then our connection on the computer has been supper sloww. i am unable to play my games such as Crossfire this fps game. everytime i play it keeps telling me failed to connect to server. Then i sent a Support ticket and they told me to take this speed test.
So I recently had to get Comca$t xfinity cable internet due to Verizon Fios not being available in my new home.With Fios on my laptop, I didn't lose connection at all in 3 years.With Comca$t, I lose my wifi connection just about every other minute.It just keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.I'm running Vista.My Ipad is connected just fine and doesn't drop connection.This makes me think it has something to do with my laptop. They are the same distance from the wireless gateway.
I have Dell Vostro 1015. It came with Window XP SP3 back in Oct 2009 (It was in free DOS Mode). In October this year, I installed Window 7 Home Premuim 32-bit SP1. Bluetooth was working fine until I updated the drivers for Windows 7 from Dell website. Upon installing the latest bluetooth driver, it won't get switced on even after pressing Fn+F11. When I tried to reinstall it pops out "Switch on Bluetooth" message several times, but as usual fails to switch on.
My parents switched from comcast to uverse and I'm having problems staying connected to the 2wire router they supplied. my connection disconnects and reconnects making the internet nearly impossible to use
I know that the ASR 1002 has 4 integrated ports but the problem that I am having is that I need two of those ports to emulate a L2 switched port. Is that doable?
If not than I need to purchase the following module below. Is that price really true?
I got a retired Zyxel Zywall USG200 from work. Its working just subs ran out. Was thinking of putting it on my home network, any reason not to? I'm a sys admin, not network engineer, so while I'm capable I'm not an ace with this type of equipment.. Which is why I want to mess with it. I'm currently RTFM and it seems pretty straight forward. If it seems like a viable piece of equipment I'd like to use it full time. How bad can I break the internets and subject myself to the wrath of my wife's downed internet connection =D if I plug it in between modem and the switch?
Is there any chance the Wireless Repeater mode work with WPA2-AES ?If not, which model of AP should I buy to connect it with my wap54g as Wireless Repeater?
I just reset my router to the factory settings in order to make some changes to it. However, when I tried to change the SSID to a unique name, I was unable to connect my computer to the wireless network. I then reset my security settings and left the SSID to the default name "linksys_SES_54125" and it is working just fine. I tried to connect with two separate computers both running Windows 7. My router is the WRT54G v8
why I wouldn't be able to connect to my wireless network when I change the SSID?
previously system was on internet explorer 8 and when turing on WAN only need to hit the F1 key, however since downloading internet explorer 9 and cd burner xp the f1 key isnt connecting me to wireless.
My main PC and modem is in a back room of the house, my secondary PC and game systems are in the living room.My main PC HAS to have a wired internet connection because that is what I want.My game systems and second PC need a wired connection.I would like to have my D-Link wireless router in the living room so I can use the WiFi for my iPods, iPad, laptop, and anything else that I am looking at when I am sitting on the front porch. I have an Epson printer that I can hook up to my network that I want to be in the back room with my main PC.To get the internet into the living room I am going to run a CAT5E ethernet cable under my house (off the ground and away from electric wires and copper pipe) from my back room to the living room.Is it possible for me to go from the modem to a switch box (I actually have two switch boxes, but I believe I will only need one)which would be connected to my main PC, the printer, and the ethernet wire going under the house to the living room... Then in the living room have the wire that comes from under the house (from the back room) go directly into the wireless router and then from the router have cables going to my game systems and the second PC?If this will work, will I still be able to control the wireless router with my main PC?
like today randomly my internet went down. And then everything changed back to its original like my SSID from Netcom it changed back to wireless and everything was default and also the PPP was off so i wasn't able to connect to the internet. So i went to my router setup page on the internet or whatever and turned it back on. So now like the internet on my computer which has a cable to the router works but the wireless internet doesn't work for my laptop nor ipod. I can see the connection on the laptop and ipod but when i try to connect it keeps saying that it is unable to connect.
buying a wireless router to use as a wifi extender as the signal is weak upstairs. At the moment my pc upstairs is connected by ethernet cable, I'm thinking of connecting a router upstairs to this ethernet cable to have good wifi upstairs. And my pc does have wifi so I will use that.
I have here a canyon wireless router. do you know where I can find online a tutorial or manual on how to configure a wireless router so that it acts as a repeater?
I have a E1000 N router and I was wondering if I can connect a G wireless adapter to it. I am trying to connect it with my Sanyo LED HDTV, it has the port for a USB but I can't seem to get it to connect. I've tried manually setting it up but I seem to have done it wrong. The reason for trying to connect to the television is Netflix. I learned that you can watch it instantly on your Tv, using the Blue-ray or a basic internet connection. The Blue-ray I currently have is not an acceptable brand, so I am trying the basic internet connection.
I have this Belkin wireless g router, which I had for a year. I was using the wired connection since then until I, at last, was able to use it's wireless connection but it only lasted around a week. After that, the modem light on the router kept on blinking and the internet light wouldn't turn on. I also couldn't connect to the router anymore(wired and wireless), neither could I configure it. I reset it but it still didn't work.
I have a WRT120N and have been trying to set up priorities using the QoS under the tab Applications and Gaming. Everytime I "Save Settings" it does not save. It refreshes the page and deletes everything I just set up.
I did Live Chat and they told me it was my router. I returned it and got another one... Same problem
