802.11n wireless router: is this hardware supported by all windows operating systems?I am planning to buy one for my brother, he is using windows XP. I am using Windows 7, and my brother in-law is using windows Vista. We all play WoW or Heroes of Newerth together in my bro's house. So I am wondering if this would work for all the three computers. Also my brother who has XP is using a Desktop.Does it need any Wireless adapters for it to recognize the signal from the router?
I have a netgear router wgt624 v2. I've had it since 2003 or 04. when I got it my network seemed to be fast and connections to it quick.now sometimes my wireless seems to have a moment or two where it searches for a connection. I figured that was due to all of the neighbors who now have wireless too. and sometimes now devices are having ip conflicts. for example my printer is set to use a static ip and the router will often give that ip to my laptop. so then the printer will not work unless I restart the laptop.
I have a wireless router linksys connected to the modern witch is on the second floor. I want to connect another router linksys on the same network that the one on the second floor is on, wirelessly without any cords on the first floor.
setup two routers (Netgear N600 routers)? In House A (My Barn) I have 3 camera's hook up to my router. In House B (My House), I have a N600 hookup to my modem and 3 of my computers. What would it take to be able to hook up House A to House B, so that I can view my House A camera's?
I have set up router A with all the correct settings provided by my ISP, one specifically being the MTU of 1460.I now need to know what I should set router B's MTU at. Should it be the same at 1460, or the full network speed of 1500.
I am running Windows 7 RC 7100 (of course) and I'm wanting to get a network setup between two computers over two routers. Here's my story:
I just moved in with two of my friends and we have 6 computers (3 laptops and 3 desktops) and we have 2 360s and 1 ps3. So needless to say my friends 5 port router wasn't enough for all the equipment so we decided to use my router with his.
Now after a day of configuring we have it running smooth and playing games with no troubles but there is one problem we want to access media on the ps3 from all the computers. I can access my media from the ps3 no problem since I'm on the same router as it but I can't access my friend media because he is on the 2nd router.
We have two belkin routers the main one has my friends PC, his 360, his ps3, and my router connected to it. My router has the remaining two pcs and my ps3 connected to it. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have tried putting the systems on one work group but that failed.
I also tried connecting to one homegroup but I can't detect his group and vice versa. If anyone could tell me how to set this up I would be grateful. My friend thinks it's might involve the routers DHCP but I'm not sure.
The scenario is: I have a PC running Windows 7 which is wirelessly connected to my Netgear modem-router. I wish to install a security camera outside my house, instead of running a long ethernet cable all the way back into my house from the camera to the Netgear, is it possible that I can connect the camera to another router outside, and then get that second router to communicate with my Netgear inside the house, and thus be able to control my security camera from inside?
Now I know the security camera can be connected to a router, and I can install software to remotely control it, but I'm not sure how I can go about using my Netgear to communicate to a second router. I haven't purchased the second router or the camera yet, but I want to know if it's possible before I do.
I am planning on holding a LAN Party in a month or 2 and requier a bit of help because it is my first. About 6 - 10 people will be coming.
I need help on a few things and any imput people could put in would be greatly appreciated because I am very lost!
I was planning on purchasing a switch (Still not sure what to purchase yet. I am looking for something around 10 ports) and connecting it directly by a network cable to my Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender Router. Then connecting all the computers to the switch. All the computers connected to the switch will be running either XP, Vista or 7.
Is this going to work? What kind of settings am I going to need to change on the OS's to make them all be able to interact with each other in the games. Are their easier ways to do this?
I have no previous networking experience and am only 14, so go easy.
My Router is dying ( Always needs re-booting ), so i decided to get a new one, after some reading i found that N routers are the Top now, but you need a laptop that support N routers . My question is how can i know if my laptop support A G or N routers .

I have 2 wireless routers/switches in my house. I have a router downstairs and one upstairs My setup is currently like this Downstairs: Computer Printer Modem Upstairs computer HTPC (media center pc) I use the printer on the downstairs computer to print everything, and this used to work fine until I installed a new router upstairs. My old setup was that upstairs I had a wireless router, and a separate switch, and the router was feed internet through the switch. Now that I installed a router/switch combo, I cant see any computers except for whats directly connected to the upstairs router.
For some reason the network from point A to B keeps failing. Going to explain the set up I have right now. DSL and modem are in room 1 then that plugs into the wall to the switch in room 2. Many things are connected to the switch, roku player, dish network receiver and other Ethernet connections for other rooms and a router so we can get wifi. Now for some reason the connection from the switch to the modem keeps going out. The internet works just fine because i can plug the ethernet cable from the modem directly to a computer in the office. However from a computer in another room I cannot cmd ping the modem says 0%. What would cause this to fail, it works for hours then i have to unplug/re-plug the cables to get it working again.
How can I be connected to multiple routers? So I can, for example, have one wired connection and maybe two wireless connections? Do I have to have many network cards, or can I use a program or so?
My Nephew has a very long house and a computer cannot get a signal from the wireless router which is at the other end of the house. He doesn't want to run RJ45 cables. Could he use 2 routers so the second one connects wireless to the first one which is connected to his adsl phone socket by a ethernet cable. If so how would I go about setting them up, settings wise. If so would the computer also be able to talk to each other to be able to transfer files etc to each other.. (enable workgroup & sharing drives/folders) I know how to setup this bit.
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit I have a D-Link DIR 825 router and when I open Network & sharing, under Network Infrastructure I see a Linksys wrt110, at times it's icon goes away for a few minutes, then re-appears, If I right click on the icon I don't get a delete option (greydd out), if I select properties I'm asked for a PIN number. I don't own a Lynksys router and I'm wondering why it's showing up on my network?
I'm having to write this because my old bridged network worked so well for so long that I totally forgot how I ever set it up in the first place, but I recall that it was simple and involved:
- The two were connected via wifi - the primary one having a physical connection to roadrunner modem - The two had the same SSID, same Security method and passkey, different base IP addresses [192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.21] - beyond that it gets hazy... what "mode" was the secondary in? somewhere I input to the subordinate router the MAC address of the primary router... dunno where/which field accepted that - do both need to be set to a fixed & same channel, as opposed to variable/Auto? - what all was turned off on the secondary? - both had full use of both their wired connections/clients and wifi - one of these is N-300mbps, and g/b, the other is g/b. do I need to limit anything?
Its not necessarily important to me that the connected devices all share with one another - I have strange clients anyway and its not needed. the windows 7 devices will be ok on the homegroup.
I noticed a few days ago that I cant access my router anymore "http://192.168.1.1/"I had some network problems so I uninstalled hamachi. Ethernet 24mbps connection crashes every 10mins~There's the thread I made, and all of the changes I did I posted there. So if you read the thread. When I got back home and after few days I noticed that I can't connect to the router anymore. ipconfig just displays some random "85.157.0.1" which doesn't work.
I earlier (roughly 6months ago) made a topic about this. (Can't access routers webpage / control page anymore.)
I recently got a brand new computer with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 and the same problem is still there. The problem is: I can't access the routers webpage when I'm using ethernet. It's fine when I'm using wireless, but the thing is I don't have a adapter built in to the pc, so I had to use a USB adapter which my brother took.
So, I'm stuck with the ethernet cable. I got two cables, both of them give the same results, so atleast it shouldn't be the cable or such. Also, I can easily access the page on my mobile and laptop.
My laptop was hooked up by broadband cable to the faceplate and was working fine, but now both cabled and wireless internet don't work, however I can connect to wifi on mobile. The troubleshooter does not run, it just reads error. I bought a brand new cable but still no luck, have tried undoing system updates but it has merely made it worse
So I work IT at my current workplace and I was wondering if I can install and use the Dell x64 disc on a machine that was purchased with an x86 installation. These are OEM discs. I can just try it but would like to see if anyone knew about this.
As I am finishing up researching different parts for my gamer, A horrifying thought: I forgot to add in an operating system! I just hate to have to spend another 100 dollars for one but I know I have to. Any ways to get one cheaper? keep in mind that it is a gamer, so I will need to get a recent one. NOTE: I do not exactly make money as fast as other people, (I am 13) so keep in mind an extra 100 could set me back months.
I ripped my personal CD collection to .WAV as I have the space and thought it was best quality. I used WMP. Everything ripped fine for a while, the first song of each album kept 'losing' its track information. I would use the Find Album Info feature of WMP to fix this. Track info currently displays perfect in Windows Media Player Library or when browing using Windows Media Center. However, if I view the files in Windows Explorer, or use another program like Winamp to play the files (which i generally prefer), the first track of all my ripped CDs in WAV format has no track information, Unknown Album, title, even tho' it displays fine in WMP Library. I cannot EDIT the track in Windows Explorer, and I can't find a track editor freeware that supports .WAV.
I regularly download useful programs and archives etc and would like to be able to add and edit info that shows up when you hover your mouse over the file. Generally downloaded archives etc are not very descriptive and I would like to add stuff to help me remember why I downloaded it in the first place!
I just updated my windows. Unfortunately, when I did that, something strange happened. Now I cannot right click or delete icons on my desktop. When I right click on an icon on the desktop, I have less choices than normal (cannot rename, deletesee properties, ect). I cannot see anything in my control panel, my computer folder shows up, however there are no words, just pictures.
Installed win7 a few days ago and today when booting up all of my desktop icons are gone. everything is still in the c:/users/%user%desktop folder, but nothing will show up on the actual desktop.
I would like to rename and delete items that I D&Ded to the start menu Games menu (right panel) of W7.Rt clk does not list those options. Where can I find these .lnk shortcut files to modify them?
Is it OK to remove RAM to take some details about it - or should I not touch it unless absolutely necessary? I'm not a total newbie, but I just want to check, as I'm wanting to find out how much RAM each card has, as I have four sockets, and they are all full and I currently have 6GB of RAM (My MB supports 8GB, so I might be upgrading sometime, but I want to get some info on my current RAM, without using programs like Everest or AIDA64 (Also, I'd like to take a few photos - which is another reason for removing it..) Also, I'd take it it's just like any other part of my PC - Touching my PC to ground myself is OK in this case?
