I have a router right now. I want to put a security camera outside, but all my hardware is downstairs. It would be very hard to use an Ethernet connection. So, would it be good to put a router in my garage as an access point, and then direct connect a camera?
I recently bought a notebook PC, and was quite annoyed to find that Intel has magically removed the ability to change the Centrino N 130 wireless adapter's MAC address.Before the nutters get in here with accusations of "illegal" activity, I feel obligated to point out that there is nothing "illegal" about changing the MAC address on my own property. Briefly, I want to pose my notebook as a hypothetical attacker, trying to bump one of my other wireless devices off the router by assuming its MAC address. I don't really know what would happen if I did this, because, like I said, Intel artificially crippled the Centrino N 130 through its Windows 7 drivers. Rather paternalistic of them.Another benefit of the proposed experiment: showing the futility of MAC filtering in keeping out the "bad guys." I have been convinced of this for some time, but been simultaneously unable to demonstrate it to my own satisfaction. There is no substitute for actually trying something, rather than just reading about it.
I am also a little annoyed at the Centrino N's (lack of) performance. I have yet to have it connect at greater than 72 Mbit/s, even while sitting less than 10 feet from the router with a clear line of sight.FWIW, my router is a NetGear WNR3500v2. N wireless is enabled. As far as I know, this router is capable of supporting a full 300 Mbit or so 802.11n wireless connection, as long as the wireless NIC on the other end is doing its part (which mine doesn't).With all that in mind, can someone suggest an N-capable wireless NIC that is not purposely crippled by its manufacturer? I would prefer an internal mini-PCIe card, but Intel seem to be the only ones making those. Even a G-capable or USB device would probably serve the purpose, if that's all that's available.
I'm trying to login to the security cameras at work. I can get to the page where I'm suppoed to be and installed the add on, but as soon as I type in the username and password IE say's "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then at the bottom of the page it say's "A problem with this web page caused IE to close and reopen the tab".I can get in and view the cameras on all the other computers I have here at home. I'm running IE9 on the computer that won't login. That computer OS is Win 7. The other computer that will connect is also running Win 7 and IE9.I have a laptop running XP (I forget what version of IE it is) and it will also login.
Just found out that my neighbour can access my ISP via my wireless 802-11g connection. And I can access via his connection...Not a good situation. I have checked security settings in both my router and Windows 7 network connection. I have checked that WPA2-PSK security and AES encryption is selected and a 8 digit network security key is current. I have disabled sharing. When connecting the network does not ask for a network security key but connects instantly and functions correctly I can see but cannot connect to another neighbours connection because it asks for a network security key and I do not have it.
I have a Belkin wireless unit what kind of # am I looking for ? There are a lot of numbers on it so which one do I need ? I'm looking for my security number for my wireless.
I just bought a laptop, and I want to integrate it with the desk top I already have. How do I find my wirelesss security code from my older PC to connect with the new one?
I just bought a laptop with wireless internet service. I can connect to the internet as long as my router is hardwired into my computer, but when I try to connect to my wireless network, it asks me for the network security key and I have no idea what that is or where to find it. So what and where is it?
I set up my new Rosewill router one down from the highest security level it offered. My netbook couldn't find the signal until I told it where to look and gave it the pass code. Does that mean my network is secure to people in my neighborhood with wireless computers? Also even though I'm getting a strong internet connection the red led on the front of my netbook never turns blue. Is that a good sign of security?
When I away from my network and I want to operate my laptop then I get a message to put in security key. When I put in my password. I get a message does not match.
