Can I take my router wireless on vacation?

Newbie question, I know, but can I take my WRT160N at a friend's House and use it without too much hassle? They have cable internet, but wireless. Their cable provider is different from mine, so what matters.

Yes you can, but you need to reconfigure the router to work with their Internet service provider settings. Since you said that they are using cable, please see the following link for the procedure.

  • I have a HP officejet K-550dtn. New wireless n router. I can't get the router to see the printer.

    This printer used to work properly as a network using Actiontec or Linksys printer b/g router.  I upgraded my network for a 802.11n system and I cannot get the new router to see the printer.  After several hours of fighting, I find that the printer configuration page shows its IP address as 192.168.1.103.  Unfortunately, the DHCP server on the new router uses address 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.200 only.

    The disc that came with the printer does not work in one of my computers, because the BONE is newer than Win XP.

    Any ideas on how I can change the internal IP address of the printer to something the router will recognize?

    I wouldn't get rid of this printer, since it is always does a great job.

    (I can still print to the printer with a computer server network address to which it is connected by a USB cable, but requiring everyone goes up to this computer before making the print command in order to ensure that it is not hibernation.)  If I can't print directly via the router, I think I will return the router and go slowly until I can't take it anymore.

    Thank you

    I finally understood that.  Here's how, in case someone else meets this.

    I don't mention that there is a Verizon FIOS router behind the wireless-n router, and it uses the model of 192.168.1.XXX.

    On a hunch, I ping the FIOS router, and there was a response.  The K-550 ethernet cable was plugged into the wireless n router and I tried it ping 192.168.1.103.  No response.  I then connected the ethernet printer cable in one of the connectors of the FIOS router replacement.  He ping again and got 4 beautiful quick returns.

    I moved to one of the computers on the wireless network and checked to see if the printer was there.  Joy!  There were two cases.  One was the connection recently configured via the USB port on the server computer.  The second was through the previously used x.x.x.103 port.  I can print using this forum, and I made it the default printer.

    It had not occurred to me to use a port across the wireless n router.

  • Modem router Wireless N upgrade?

    I have a Linksys BEFCMU10 ver.2 modem which has served us for about 8 years.  I've recently updated our wireless n router, but have seen no improvement in the coverage area or speed.  The seller in Microcenter told me that my current modem was fine, but I wonder if I need to improve my modem to take advantage of the N WiFi feature.  Another thing, I remember when the tech our cable connected to the modem, it added a 10/100 switch.  Can it be purchased?  The research I did on the forums, it seems that I need a compatible 10/100/1000 switch for the gigabit speed.

    I apologize for the basic questions, but I tell myself that if I want to learn I have well start somewhere

    Thank you!

    It is not question of cause I don't think you have 100Mpbs subscription from your ISP. This modem is good for home use. You will get your your router Wireless N speed and that's only within your local network.

  • Can the Airport Extreme connect wireless to my wifi network?

    Hi all

    I have an Airport Extreme, which I use only for his Time Machine feature.  Best I can tell the only way he can connect to my wireless network is extending.  Is this correct?

    If I use it to extend my wireless network was is the negative impact (if any)?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can extend wireless or even join wireless to less the router that you connect to another router from Apple.

    If this is the case then it can work well if it is in the range... otherwise, you must plug the AE into the router principal by ethernet and put in place as a separate network wireless access point.

    Extend wireless is bad if you are linked to the main router wireless... which will cause huge slow down even if you are in a situation of apple router all.

    If you have lost the key to network and not connected to the network, then you can reset the router to factory settings wireless.

    If you lost the key network and connected to the network, and then log on to the Web page of the router and get the key.

  • I have a canon eos rebel sl1/100 d. I can't take a picture.

    I can't take a picture. The battery works, the memory card has been reformatted. I had the unit about 6 months. I took a lot of pictures on vacation this summer. I uploaded these photos. I started taking pictures, and I can't get a picture.

    If the unit is in 'One Shot' factory default mode, so should not be a picture unless it can confirm that it was able to lock the focus on a subject.  No accent... no picture.

    If, however, you reverse this little switch on the side of your lens that says "AF/MF" on the "MF" position (it is 'Manual' and AF is "Update automatically") THEN you get an exception... "MF" position, the device is ready to take a picture no matter if she thinks that the image is sharp or not... He doesn't care.  Touch that little switch to "MF" you said on camera that YOU will take care of the update and it is not not to consider the development at all.

    If the camera will take a picture (even if it is blurry) when the lens is in a position to "MF", this means the reason why he was not taking a picture before is because of his inability to focus.

    There may be a few reasons why a camera could not focus.

    (1) not enough light: to test this situation... just go to a place where there are a lot of light.  ... Outside in the middle of the day.

    (2) a problem with one of the systems of development.  It turns out that your camera has in fact two systems different focus (completely independent).  One is used when you are looking through the viewfinder to compose the picture.  The other is used if you use the live view screen to compose view.  The reason why there are two different systems is because your camera has a mirror inside.  When you look through the viewfinder, you are actually looking through the lens.  To do this, they need to put a mirror between the lens and the sensor, so you can browse through the same lens that camera is to use.  But which reflect the light to reach the sensor blocks.  So they actually have a system of development that does not use the sensor and can focus when the mirror is in the way that (the mirror of the part of the light bounces actually in focus sensors).  When the mirror went away (for the live-view shooting) it obviously can flip any light in this special focus sensor.  To remedy this, it uses image sensor of the camera work on the update.

    The two systems are independent, and the only thing in common is that they both send instructions to the lens to move the focus in or out.    If a system of development does not work... try another (update looking in the viewfinder... and test development using the "live view" mode (only not looking in the viewfinder.))

    (3) but that leads us to the third possible problem: the lens.  The engines of development (for any Canon camera) are in the objective... not in the camera.  The camera simply gives instructions to the lens it say how adjust the setting to the point and to what extent.  Is there a problem with the lens, then it can not focus... even if there is absolutely nothing wrong with the camera itself.

    If you have a different purpose, you can swap lenses and see if the camera still has a focus problem.  If it has only a focus with a particular lens problem... it's the objective that needs service and not the camera.

  • Linksys makes a Combo of Modem/Router Wireless N cable

    Does Linksys router wireless n gateway, a combination router and cable modem?

    Currently I have the unit combined for wireless g, but upgrade to wireless-n.

    Thank you!

    I think at the moment that doesn't sell Linksys 802.11n gateways.

    I generally recommend not getting the combined devices, but better to get two separate devices, a simple modem and a wireless router.

    1. you have a far greater choice of products for the router, and they are usually less expensive.

    2. in the event of the death of the router you can still have internet via the modem directly. If the combined unit dies, you are in offline mode.

    3. less functions in a more simple design makes the device and averages more stable and more reliable devices.

    4. you can replace a device at any point. For example, if you pass the ADSL or FTTH cable you can simple replace the modem. You may need to change the configuration on the router but other internet connection so that you can keep the router. Similarly, if two years from now, you want to get the router new generation wireless you can continue to use your modem (if it is still suitable for your internet speed)

  • WRT160N router wireless and speed Test

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me.  I've just changed in the old Netgear G router to a router cisco Linksys N.  When I'm connected wireless sitting next to the modem and the router of my speed test shows more than 20 on the download, but when I go up a floor in the House it drops at least 2 on the download.  I thought that this router was supposed to expand the range and allow more devices to connect wireless taken less bandwidth.  Is there something I can do to improve the speed in addition to spending my router wireless on the main floor where is most of the navigation on the internet?

    Hahahaha WOW no no not the router to the modem worked!  I went from 1.5 on 15 on downloading downloading when I had about one foot apart from each other!  Awesome.  I have not been very high over the years!

  • Can't see the available wireless networks

    I bought a new router (netgear300) and tried to connect to it. For some reason any would connect to my computer, but it has not been through the modem, so I uninstalled the network card and reinstalled and rebooted the computer. Now, I do not see the wireless networks available and cannot connect to anything. I tried to download the readers online, connect to the network manually, but nothing seems to work. I get 3 error messages when I try. They are; 1 reset your wireless, 2 network adapter. the NIC "atheros ar5007 802. 11 b / g wifi adapter "known issues of pilot or related equipment, 3. Make sure that the internet protocol bindings are correct. I did all the and still nothing seems to work, and I still don't see the available wireless networks. Nothing has had this problem before? My laptop is a compaq presario f700 model. I am currently using windows vista Home premium and have the cd of windows 7 Professional, but I don't know if the upgrade with this question will repair or remain the same. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hi Mattcreatr,

    1 can connect to the router with other machines?

    Step 1:

    Make sure you have the latest NETWORK adapter drivers installed.

    Also, see if there is a software that goes along with the drivers.  If so, get the latest version of this as well.

    Update drivers: recommended links

    Step 2;

    Also, see if there is a software that goes along with the drivers.  If so, download the recent plus version and that as well.

    Also, make sure that the wireless adapter is turned on.

    a. Click Start, type network and sharing in the search box Center start and press ENTER.

    b. click on change adapter settings.

    c. right click on the connection, and then select activate.

    Step 3:

    Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a restore point where you do not experience the problem and check.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:
