Adding a laptop computer to this router

I'm not at all techminded and need help. We have a BESFR41 router and want to add our laptop (wireless). Can it be added to this router?

Thank you!

Yes, you have two choices for the BEFSR41 has no built-in support for wireless.

(1) If you want to connect your laptop's wireless the BEFSR41 and on the Internet, you must purchase a "access point" wireless network that will carry out the connection of your wired LAN (ports on the BEFSR41) and your wireless laptop.  Consider a Linksys WAP54G, relatively cheap and easy to hang your BEFSR41 was.  This is what I have at home (a wired router, two WAP54G).

or,

(2) connect to your laptop through a wired connection (ethernet).  Get a cable, connect a LAN to the laptop and the BEFSR41 port.  Not as convenient and you will be tied by the length of the cable, but it will be faster than a wireless G connection.

Or you could the BEFSR41 of pit and get a router that took both wired and wireless support.

Hope this helps,

Russ

    I have the same problem with this ASUS Ultrabook. New brand ASUS but in two different houses and I have the same problems. Get right next to the router and it connects ok. Get a few feet away from the router and the ASUS gets angry and does not connect. Downloaded the latest driver, but that did not help either. Obviously, this is a faulty piece of equipment in the laptop. Great joy!

  • Unable to connect a wireless printer with laptop computer since the reset wireless router

    I have a wireless HP C4580 printer that connects to my Acer Aspire laptop using windows 7. The two have worked together very well for months.  My wireless router stopped working a few days ago, so I had to unplug the device to make it work again is it.  But since then, I can't get my lap top to communicate with the printer now.
    I went all the problem of shooting and insured the printer is on line and set it as default printer. I even did a system restore, as suggested in the troubleshooting
    With the help of the program are the two messages that I get now troubleshooting
    1 that the C4500 series can be contacted via the network (this is the message that I had before the restoration also)
    2 the C4500 series is not shared with the homegroup

    All the tips are greatly appreciated in progressive simple language as possible as I am a bit useless with computers

    I assume that the printer is all first directly connected on the router, then the laptop?  Access the router and make sure that the printer is listed as a "wireless client" connection  If this isn't the case, you should probably restore the wireless "link" between the printer and the router then the printer should work.

    John,

    AdobePDF.dll is in the file Data1.cab. Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional\ You need to extract the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the .cab file. You can do this with WinZip or 7-Zip. Everything you need to extract is this file, nothing else... Once you have extracted it, remove the _64, so the name of the file is AdobePDF.dll. Then place the file in any location you want and run the program it when asked. For a file location, I suggest to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\

    Hope that helps.

  • I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?

    If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.

    As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.

    At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it.  We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

  • Direct print from laptop computer connection

    I have a laptop HP with windows 7 32 bit and the designjet 650 c B model with an installed direct jet card, so I a usb converter cable network I want to print from a usb port or from the port of network cable. I just want to know what is called the port that I use? Help, please!

    You have a wireless router?  I have a Designjet 650 c connected to my router with a LAN cable, can I access the 650 c of my HP laptop wireless via the router.

    If you follow this path, you will get an IP address for the Designjet 650 c by selecting Prev in the menu until you get to the entrance, the top menu can go down three times for installing I/O, entry, entry (modular), entrance (network Cfg = >), down Yes, Prev, Prev, Prev, entrance, entry, down arrow twice for utilities Entry, arrow down twice for Config plot, Enter.

    That you select the jetdirect card like I/O device, get an IP address from the router and then print a configuration page that displays the IP address to halfway to the bottom of the page.

    On laptop computer click Start, devices and printers, do a right-click on the Designjet 650 c, printer, port properties, add a Port, Port TCP/IP Standard, new Port, following, then enter the IP config page printed.  For me, it comes to 192.168.1.13.  Enter the appropriate value, Next, Finish.

    If you do not have a router then consider making an inexpensive wireless router that could be wired to the Designjet and wireless for the laptop.  It would probably be a much better solution than to try to make a converter USB - lan.

  • HP LaserJet Pro P1102w: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Wireless Installation - adding other laptops and desktop PC...

    Hello

    I have a question about computers adding more to my HP printer.

    I followed the instructions & so I can print wireless from laptop, I used during the installation (after removing the USB cable).

    I can also print wireless from our various iPads & iPhones (after the change of the printer WiFi).

    But I don't see how I can 'Add' laptop (Windows Vista) daughter & my main desktop computers (Windows XP), so they can print wireless too!

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    I tried to launch the installation of the drive on my laptop HP printer girls. He was able to recognize the printer, but was unfortunately unable to print.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hi & thanks,

    I also found a solution to install my printer HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wireless & connecting then 2nd, 3rd & subsequent laptop/desktop computers.

    I initially reset the printer to remove any configuration, then I did the following:-

    Install on a laptop using a CD or could start simply by connecting the USB cable to the laptop. Follow the instructions, test the characters etc. (to prove that the wireless network is configured correctly)).

    Check printing wireless since this laptop computer 1 initial works, & also works various iPad/iPhone etc.

    Problems have been met when try to get other laptops/workstations to print wireless (2nd & later).

    The following seemed to work: -.

    On the other portable computers desktop (do not plug printer with USB cable): -.

    (1) the installation of the CD,

    (2) choose the series w1100 - Wireless install,

    (3) choose to install the printer software (& display the Guide of the user if want),

    4) click Add another printer (option 1).

    (5) choose HP LJ P1100w Pro Series.

    (6) choose option 3 (to connect to a network configured wireless (that established earlier),

    (7) following, a lot of software is installed,

    (8) identify the printer by choosing the method to identify it (select in a list),

    (9) side of firewall pinhole (all).

    (10) looking for printer, concludes HP LJ Pro P1102w,

    (11) then the TCP/IP data has been: -.
    IP 192.168.2.46
    Subnet 255.255.255.0
    Gateway 192.168.2.1

    Host Name NPI1C754F

    (12) (stupid 'password required' kept appearing several times - X box to close),

    (13) to enable direct printing,

    (14) then,

    Finally success!  A test prints to computers/idevices like many that I could find.

    Thank you very much. I hope the above can help someone else!
