View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this sounds like a crazy question but i travel a lot and i like to play my PS3. When i go to a new hotel some have a open internet connection and others don't. I want to connect my laptop to the wifi and share it to a separate router with a WPA2-PSK so that i have a more secure connection on the play station. Now first is this even possible to do? I use to beable to share my internet connection from my phone through my laptop to my ps3. Now when i try to do that just with the wifi in the hotels it doesnt have a high enough security setting.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have problem with wi-fi network and WRT 110. Seems to me that router only accepts 1 device. I used to have only 1 device (laptop) using wi-fi and desktop connected with ethernet as a second device. It worked just fine. Recently I added 2 wireless devices : apple tv and ipad 2. I can access wireless network only with one of them being “on” at the time (e.g. apple tv works when ipad and laptop don't use wi-fi. As soon as I connect another device router stops working (i'm loosing connection for wi-fi and ethernet) and I don't have internet access until I reboot router. (it happened only once for short period of time – about 40 min.- that I was able to connect to wi-fi with 2 devices. After that it never happened again). I'm not sure if I need newer router or I can still make it work with wrt 110.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had the Linksys 3200 for almost a year and its been running great with my laptop. But now my laptop that connects to it by WIFI is getting these hiccups(what I call them), where it connects fine for a hour or 2. Then all of a sudden the WIFI icon on the laptop will say "limited internet access" and then no connection to the Linksys 3200. But other devices such as 2 smart phones, IPOD touch, Wii, and PS3 connects fine through the WIFI! Its been doing this for a few days. Thinking about doing a firmware upgrade for the E3200

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a WRT160 V2 router with firmware v2.0.02. I have had the router for years without any problems. A few months ago I have started to see an issue where I lose connection to my internet on my laptop, and wifi on my phone at the same time. I have wifi calling on my phone and it disconnects also at the same time. All of a sudden, everything will stop working, then about 40 seconds later, it all works again. I lost the connection maybe every 30 to 60 mins. I rely on wifi calling for my primary phone, and I end up getting cut off when talking to people. BTW wifi calling is for all tmobile phones, but also normal wifi to surf the web on my laptop and phone drops too at the same time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, due to some reason I have not yet figured out, my laptop has started bugging out with the wi-fi and connecting to my wireless connection at home. What it does is it keeps trying to connect, and sort of connects. It gets that little yellow triangle, and says Limited Connectivity. When I check the status, I am in fact getting an IP address, and everything SEEMS to be in order. On my router's configuration page, however, I cannot see my laptop's MAC address in the list of attached wireless devices. The internet does seem to work for about a few minutes every time I restart the router.
At first I thought it might have been an IP conflict issue, so I tried setting up a static IP on my laptop. Then I tried reserving an IP for my laptop through the router. Then I tried both. And while all three attempts seemed to have fixed the problem, it came back within a few minutes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLaptop with Windows XP Pro, connected to the network via Wifi, and set up as a remote desktop host. Can not establish a remote desktop connection with this laptop. Log-in screen is presented, but the desktop never appears on the client machine. Connecting the subject laptop via an Ethernet cable, cures the problem, and the connection succeeds, so we can rule out problems with RDT configuration, firewalls, and third party software. The laptop is a Dell D610, with a Dell 1370 WiFi built in. It has been configured so Windows manages the connections.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am at my friend's house and she cannot connect her Acer laptop to the her own wifi (netgear router). Her iPad and my laptop (lenovo) both can connect to the wifi. This would lead me to believe that the issue is with her computer but her computer can connect to other wifis in the area...just not her own. I am not sure what is causing this...it may be that program "Acer eNet Management" but that still doesn't explain why she can connect to other wifis and not her own. Is there maybe a compatability issue with netgear and her wifi card?
