I have a laptop but i live in an apartment where there are Wi-FI signal but they are only reachable when i put my laptop on my window ,but I have a mobile with Wifi and it can hack some wifi which are un secured ?how can i connect to internet on my laptop using my mobile wifi !
I have a Linksys WRT120N and two XP laptops.I can connect them to my network when MAC filtering is disabled but as soon as I re-enable it, the network kicks them off.I've had the network set to broadcast enable and disabled and it doesn't matter. There is NO WPA2 etc security or password on the network.I've checked, double-checked and quadruple-checked the MAC addresses of both laptops (using "ipconfig /all") and they're both right. I entered them correctly and I've quadruple-checked that I've checked "PERMIT" instead of "PREVENT". The funny thing is that I also have a Samsung Galaxy SII and that connected right to the router even WITH MAC address filtering on. It was unbothered the entire time I was enabling and disabling things. It kept streaming web radio the entire time.
One of my laptops is set to use Windows to configure my wireless networks and one uses Intel ProSet/Wireless to manage connections.Neither one can connect when MAC filtering is on... but my phone connects just fine.where someone asks this question ends up in people arguing about why MAC filtering is worthless or perfectly valid or whatever and the anti-MAC filtering person telling the asker to get some "real" security and stop wasting their time.
Me and my girlfriend moved into our new flat in September and since then we've been sharing my laptop as her laptop refuses to connect to our Wi-Fi, we are with Virgin Media and I have had literally no connection problems whatsoever but hers gives us various errors like 'No Internet Access' 'Local Connection Only' and sometimes it will connect for about 4 minutes and then just disconnects again, the only Anti-Virus she has running is AVG. It has also happened with friends who have brought there laptops over.
I just purchased a T-Mobile hotspot (ZTE) yesterday. It can connect to the T-Mobile network and appears to be working fine. My Wii can connect wirelessly to the the hotspot, but my laptop can only connect to the internet through the USB cord (which it's really not supposed to, because that's supposed to be for charging the device). When I try to connect via wifi to my hotspot, my computer can detect the network. However, after I immediately enter my password, it says that it cannot connect. When I click "Diagnose the problem" it says there was a timeout.I have Windows Vista and one of the tech support people mentioned that Windows Vista sometimes has problems connecting with handshake devices (but he didn't know how to fix it). Another person said I should have about 20 seconds to type in my password, so it shouldn't be timing out so quickly. Is it something with my computer? I have a Compaq Presario CQ60. I had this same problem when I tried to connect to a friend's hotspot a couple weeks ago (I don't remember if it was also T-Mobile or another provider, though).

I'm part of a Tech Support department of 50 located along the Gulf Coast. In years past we have found hurricanes and other disasters may have forced Engineers to work from home or out of hotel rooms for several weeks. Since that time we are now using VoIP phones that require a power over Ethernet (PoE) LAN connection. Along with the phone we already have an external power brick that we can take home that supplies the PoE LAN connection. However, that requires that you have access to the router so you can run a physical cable from the router to the power brick.
That's fine when you are at your own house and have access to your own router. But in the case of a hotel, you can't run a cable to the router. Many hotels have gone to wireless only and don't have a physical LAN jack to plug into. So I've been looking at something like the Netgear WNCE3001 Dual-Band Internet Adapter. That will supply a physical LAN connection from WiFi only. But it does not have PoE. So now if we are going to work from a hotel room, we need the VoIp phone, the power brick and the WiFi Internet adapter. 3 seperate items to lug around.
Is there such a device that would allow you to pickup a WiFi signal in a hotel room and has a physical LAN jack that is also capable of PoE? I could at least lose the power brick then.
I am using a Compaq Presario Laptop and i recently bought a new new mobile which has Wifi. Now I want to connect it to my pc via wifi. I know nothing about wireless networking or wifi.
Well i am currently using a BSNL DNA A211-1 wifi modem-cum-router with a wireline inbetween my PC (win7 ultm) & the router, so as to connect to the internet. i use the wifi feature of my router to connect my samsung gts5570 wifi enabled phone as well as a few other wifi enabled devices, to use internet on them. now i was thinking whether i can connect my desktop pc to my mobile phone using this wifi router somehow? how can that be done since there is already 2 different network that exist between my pc & router thru wireline & my mobile & the router thru wifi, all i need is a way to sync these to networks into one, so that my pc & my mobile use internet & at the same time they connect to each other as well.
