Can I use 2 routers on my home network?

Can I use 2 routers on my home network? I have a modem/router combo Xfinity but my Airport extreme must be a router that is better than what came with the Xfinity plan. I was told you can use 2 routers for various computers (iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc) and choose the one that gives the best range and result.

Do you use a separator line and then to the cable connection? Or would I connect the Airport Extreme in the router/modem by an Ethernet cable Xfinity? In any case, what has worked for you, assistants out there?

JIM

Do not use 2 routers, they will conflict (without careful configuration) and even when they are not there is nothing to be gained by.

  • Can I use a disk Windows 7 Home full version and just use the key to version upgrade license?

    Original title: the reconstruction of my PC - Windows 7 issue.

    I will be rebuilding my PC which has Windows 7 Home 64 bit installed.  I did the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 with a family 3-pack.  Can I use a disk Windows 7 Home full version and just use the key to version upgrade license?  Seems a little ridiculous that I have to install another OS and do the upgrade.  I searched the forums and could not easily find an answer to this question.  Help, please.  Thank you!

    Also note that as you change not the motherboard Windows should not require re-installation and activation.

  • I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

    original title: Wireless on the Fritz

    I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

    The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

    I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

    Thank you!

  • CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

    I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

    Hello
     
    To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
    a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
    (b) the value of the private network location type.
    c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
    d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
    e. consider using password protected sharing.
    5 using the network card.
     
    The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.

  • Can I use 63-bit Win 7 Home base with the same product key that I used for 32 - bit?

    1 I have win7 64 bit with licesence version hombasic. And now I use homebasic 32bits and 64bits format and install with the same key... So I jst want to know that this process can damage my computer laptop operating system? or there is no problem whatever I did!.

    Original title: Win7

    Well, it will damage her, just that you will not run the 64-bit version, which means, if you have more than 4 GB of RAM installed, Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit will not support it.

    You should also check that the manufacturer of your computer is using 32-bit drivers for your computer.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • Can I use multiple partitions on a disk network with AirPort Extreme?

    I want to be able to add a hard drive 2 TB to my AirPort Express 802.11ac and have the drive partitioned as well as 1 TB is for a Time Machine backup and the other 1 TB then for file storage?

    While I understand the need to use an external engine hard drive and format the drive while it is directly plugged into the Mac, formatting of os x journaled (Extended) etc. I just want to know if more partitions are able to be used in this way at a time.

    Amy help would be highly appreciated.

    Yes, you can partition an external hard drive.

    You have used Express instead of the extreme...

    HDD 2 TB to my AirPort Express 802.11ac

    Clearly a foul strike but just so you know... Express do not support the USB hard drives.

    Buy the right USB is crucial to the success of this... not all the work... some not at all, some not reliable.

    I ran Touro successfully... others are using LaCie...

    Compatibility of USB drive with routers from the airport. Contribute to the database.

    Just be careful...

    In my opinion you must learn about ConfigFree and what can be done with this tool.

  • Internet problems: can't use it in safe mode with networking

    Hi Aaron,

    What antivirus do you use? Since you are able to connect mode without failure, it leads me to believe that this is caused by a program that you run which restricts navigation. Try to disable all antivirus software and try to get online.

    Just note that it's always a good idea to always have an antivirus running. But not more than one at a time can cause problems.

    I hope this helps.
