• Persistent problems with wireless home network

  Hi, the problem started two weeks or more ago, when after the connection to the internet easily using our wireless network connection, my computer began to say that our domestic network was unidentified, then studied by troubleshooting my self but do not really understand the information the computer indicated to me. As it was a problem of the internet I contacted our local provider broadband, they looked like the line and the service was absolutely perfect and to confirm this router computer of my father in the same cable network has internet connection easily as it was my mom who was using the connection via the same router wireless cell phone.
  Following the instructions of technitians I have tried to manually enter internet addresses to see if that would help the internet connection, it did. So I thought that the problem has been resolved. I had the use of the internet that day and everything was fine until I restarted the next morning. The problem reappeared. So I called my internet provider again, this time I'm sorry to say to a girl rather too quickly diagnosed that I had a virus to uninstall Google chrome and reinstall a different browser... That didn't make sense to me, but I tried some sort.  So I moved my office tower and all the bits in one place in the House were we could conect it to the router with an ethernet cable followed his instructions then moved the computer to its original position but still no internet connection and still this problem 'identification '. I turned off the machine and tried again the next day. Start by running the troubleshooting of network problems, this time I looked at the detailed report which curiously stated that the computer had difficulty oscillating between two somethings (sorry don't remember the detail correctly is days ago)
  So I called my internet provider again and I am a helpful young man, read him the information and examined the reports that they had written about the problem in the days preceding. I followed his instructions looked in the network sharing Center, settings changed and added in manual codes for the internet, turn off the router for 10 seconds or more and then restarted, this time with not even a temporary success. We tried a few things but I always got the same contradictory message in the dialog box in the lower right corner, where it showed I was connected to the local network not connected to the internet, when I opened the network sharing Center from the local network to the router would show that 'Identification' and the conection to the internet would be marked with a cross. I managed to pass my network profile is for some reason any defined to the public rather that home and we were able to change it (even if it wasn't easy)
  So I was told it was probably a driver issue, I was told I might need check the updates of my license on this operation the technitian and I also saw the site of netgear, that there was a potential conflict between Kaspersky and the netgear driver, so I need to uninstall my Kaspersky anti-virus stuff and the old pilot , down load and install the new drivers and then reinstall kaspersky. I followed it. (Movement of the tower and all the bits in place in the House were the ethernet cable was available).  I found an updated driver, uninstalled downloaded kaspersky and run only the driver installed Kaspersky again. Everything seemed to go well and I even plugged in the wireless adapter connected to the internet through that and disconnected the cable... things were going well.
  So I turned off the machine and carried over into my room where I turned on once again. The problem reoccured. I thought it was time to communicate with kaspersky. So I turned the computer off and reduced to the ethernet cable. Connected a Kaspersky contacted by e-mail, they were quick and I was asked to run a program that logeed my information system. I did this and I told them I thought it might be a conflict between the driver and their softwear, they have looked into it, asking me to run a misuse of this program and the results by e-mail. Once again, I've followed the instructions and took notes, but no problem was found. They showed me how to configure my kaspersky firewall to allow access to the networks. It's when I was doing that I noticed that the computer had five ads of our home network, so I put all the profiles of their trust, apply changes and tested to see if it would work. On the wireless internet in the office where the ethernet cable and a router are by train, it's good, it works. I connected the wireless network and disonnect the ethernet then on the internet and there is no break in service. But if I shut down the computer and set up in my room at 12 meters, it won't work with signal strong (4 / 5 bars are green).

  This morning I watched the windows firewall settings and changed some of them to see if that makes a difference. but none.

  I'm trying hard to think about this problem but I'm getting nowhere fast, I know just enough. I just tried pluging in the wireless network adapter again, but there is no wireless network connection now and no internet connection:

  After having tried downlaoding a new driver and this has not fixed the problem after having only tested the wireless signal is strong enough for good internet connection to my mother's computer in my room, I'm stuck. I looked on the netgear site and follow their advice, but it's really a night Mare!
  I also noticed that somehow, we put in place five versions of our home network, I wonder if there is some confusion computer... I looked into the idea of the removal of the networks, and it seems that you can not do. I am trying to back up my files, uninstall everything and re - build my computer from scratch. If there is something else I should try before taking this message please drastic measures me ASAP.

  Hello

  My laptop can't connect to my home network. It can detect the network, but whenever I try to connect to it, it said "Windows could not connect to the (network).

  My other devices (iPad, mobile phone) can connect to him, so I doubt that it is a problem of modem?

  I have connected my laptop to the modem directly via an ethernet cable and it works. What is a network driver problem? Because I tried to update the driver, but they said that they are updated to the latest already.

  Someone help me please.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you are unable to connect to the network via modem, but thread and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

  2. When was the last time you were able to connect to the wireless network?
  3. Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
  4. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Since you are able to connect to the network using the modem, it could be because of the card network is outdated or corrupted. I would recommend that you try the methods below and check.

  Method 1: Run the network troubleshooter

  Refer to the article below to run the network troubleshooter

• Implementation of HP Officejet 6500 has; don't know how to connect to the web w / wireless home network

  I have a small home network wireless.  I configured the printer today but it says I have to connect to the internet (part fax machine works).  The bureau only I have, I keep out of most of the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to now).

  Is it possible to connect the printer directly to my router?  They are only a few feet from one of the other; However, I have no idea how do and the instructions don't me much.  Do I need a phone line?  What can I use to connect the two?

  Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even target will have them.

  Plug it into the back of the printer and the router.  You should be able to add the printer to your laptop.  Let me know which operating system you have and I can help you.

• Need to improve the wireless home network

  I am trying to improve the coverage of my home network.

  I have Fios, and with existing wireless features, there are several dead and weak coverage areas in my house.  This is due to a combination of the place where my router's (limited by the power input) and the confuration from home.

  I have CAT - 5 running for most of the rooms, so adding wired devices is not a problem.  I went out and picked up an EA4500 router, and my plan was to convert my Fios router a bridge and then use the EA4500 as the DHCP server.  However, even with this router, my coverage is not improved.  My preferred solution to get 1 or 2 additional access points that I can plug into my cable system, however, I would like to have a common SSID for the network.

  Is a home-based solution available?

  It would be probably better get these access points that you plan to learn to eliminate these "notspots".

  as suggested previously, you can get a WAP610N or one of the new series of EA (set to bridge mode) router.

  Hello

  Believe me it's not easy to say why you are not able to connect to the WLan.
  I think that all options must be checked by steps.

  First of all I recommend you disable encryption of WLan. Also, turn off the firewall on the laptop settings.
  If the laptop connects successfully to the WLan you can turn everything back.

• Best settings for a wireless home network?

  I want to get help on a somewhat complicated setup: my connection in optical fiber gets into my house to a room in the basement. I have a last generation Asus router, which spreads the signal through various Ethernet cables. Wi - fi is disabled, because it wouldn't reach anywhere. Upstairs, I have a new airport time capsule, which creates the main WiFi network for the home. However, it dose not brought into the world. In the box where I want to extend the signal, I have a 5th generation AirPort Extreme (it does not support the alternative signal) connected to an Ethernet jack.

  Now my questions:

  1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

  2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

  3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

  I hope that I have explained clearly, I'm only half of technology warned, and I am a bit lost...

  1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

  Own configuration of Apple software, AirPort utility you should implement in Bridge Mode time Capsule to avoid a network error called Double NAT. But, ironically, if you call Apple support, they will tell you 'ignore' the Double NAT error and run time Capsule as another router on the network.

  Normally, you can avoid having a Double NAT error on the network, because that might lead to other problems, Apple boards so... If you call them... is controversial. Basically, it seems that Apple wants a router from Apple in charge of both the network possible... not another router.

  So, you will need to decide what advice to Apple you want to try.

  2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

  The feedback network option will not work correctly if the Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

  3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

  "Extend a wireless network" is used only when the airport connects to another router from Apple using a Wi - Fi connection. Since you will use Ethernet to connect, you would use "create a wireless network" setting.

  But, you won't have to worry about this if you are using Apple Configuration "Wizard" to set up the AirPort Extreme... it automatically applies the correct settings.

• Wired access point / wireless home network

  I am a littlenew to this, sought several messages, but cannot find one that fits exactly to my question/questions.

  The installer: The floor cable modem to the router (BEFSR41).  An electrician on desktop on the floor. A wire hard out of the router (WRT54G) B downstairs for LAN wired stereo components and a Wi - Fi connection for laptops.

  Router B has DHCP set IP same as router and connection is on the LAN 1 port instead of port Internet, Xbox and other components on the LAN 2, 3, 4 ports. Laptop computer Upsairs wireless internet access and are working very well. I can't move the modem to the floor, and the wireless should point down because if it's on the floor there is too much signal loss.

  Question: Xbox 360 is connected to router B (bottom) via wired LAN, and after about 5 minutes loses the internet connection.

  Question: What is the correct configuration for the router A and router B? Is there a better Setup for this?

  I can't answer this question because I do not know the subnet on your network.

  Allows to make a few assumptions here well and you can change your IP according to your needs.

  Router

  IP=192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

  Remember that it is the side LAN not IP address on the WAN side.

  Router B

  IP=192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0

  Default gateway = 192.168.1.1

  DNS = 192.168.1.1

  The WAN should be turned off or disabled.

  WAP54G

  (Default) IP=192.168.1.245/255.255.255.0

  Default gateway = 192.168.1.1

  Customers

  IP=192.168.1.100-150/255.255.255.0 (this isn't how you should express this value correctly, but it is easier for the non technical to understand person).

  The default gateway on all clients would be 192.168.1.1

  The DNS on all clients would be 192.168.1.1

  I assumed router B is hard wired from a LAN port on the router B on a LAN port router.

  The channels on router A & B should be different unless your roaming between devices. I don't remember if the Linksys firmware allows and or compatible WDS. I think it does, but you have little or no control over it, so therefore people tend to install third-party firmewares.

  Security on router B can be anything. But if you changed it from the beginning and you windowz cliewnts you will probably have to remove the profile stored by the client wireless and reconnect to the HA to rebuild the front profile it will not work properly. Windowz update the key in the profile stored, a pretty stupid mistake the share nanasoft.

  in any case, theres a start point for you.

  I don't think it's a driver problem, because VMware Workstation - like any other Windows application - takes advantage of Windows features for networking and does not separate NETWORK interface drivers but only services that use default API.

  Have you tried to completely uninstall VMware Workstation (using the command line option / clean ) before installing another version? And have you installed using 'Run as Administrator' to make sure that it is not a permission problem. You can also read
