Can wireless and wired network connections to co-exist on the same pc?

My new desktop pc of Windows 7 has a Wireless N adapter, but given that the router is located next to I prefer to use a wired connection. When I enabled both, I noticed that the pc was connected wireless, so I disabled the wireless card and connected via wired LAN.

I was wondering if there is any way to keep active both and put in place for the wired connection is a priority, and the wireless connection is used automatically when there is no wired connection?

When more than one network connection is available, Windows uses the one with the lowest metric value. By default, it automatically assigns a metric value based on the rated speed of the network connection. For more details, please see an explanation of the routes Internet Protocol Automatic Metric feature .

To force Windows to use a specific network connection, assign a metric value to each of them, giving the lowest value to the desired connection:

  1. Press the Windows key + R , type ncpa.cpl in the box, and then click OK .
  2. Right click on the desired connection.
  3. Click on Properties > Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Internet .
  4. Click on Properties > advanced .
  5. Uncheck Automatic metric .
  6. Enter a number between 1 and 9999 for the Interface metric .

  • Wireless and wired Internection connection problems

    Hello community,

    My first question concerns my wireless laptop connection (or lack of it). I rebooted my router (because I forgot my password), who restored the device to factory default settings.  When I've reconfigured the router, I was unable to connect to the Internet via a wireless connection. When I troubleshoot with Windows 7, it says that I need to connect an Ethernet cable from the router to the laptop.  However, it was not necessary when the connection to the local area network (LAN) via a public network worked without error.  In addition, when I check my wireless network connection, it shows that the signal strength is excellent and a connection is attempted, but without success.  When I open the network and sharing Center, there is no LAN.  Is it possible that something is blocking access to the LAN? It wasn't a problem, before I changed the router username and password the default user and password. Something is flooded with this situation.

    A second problem occurred when I tried to connect my desktop computer directly to the external modem from my ISP in which I work around the router. There is no Internet connection when this happened.  Before configuring the router via wireless connectivity, the direct connection between the external model of my ISP and my office worked without error. Your thoughts on these two issues are very popular.

    Thank you in advance.

    We're going to do in the first place the wireless and see if we can make it work.

    Go to the router configuration page (it can be www.routerlogin.com or an IP address, depending on your brand.) See your documentation for him.). Under "wireless" parameters must be a place to enter the password you will need to know to access the router. If it is always the default value (which will be probably if reset you factory default), then change to something unique.

    Open the network and sharing Center and click on 'Manage wireless networks' in the left column. Right click on your wireless connection and on the Security tab, select the settings of your router is to (WPA, WPA-2, etc.) and the type of encryption. Then enter the password that you put in the router in the box "network security key. On the connection tab, uncheck "automatically connect...". "for the time being. OK, and then restart. Check if your wireless network is working now.

    To connect to the modem, you may need to recover from the IP. Open a command window, type ipconfig/release and press ENTER. When that finished, type ipconfig / renew and press ENTER. Now you should be able to connect directly through the modem.

    Thing, that I forgot to mention, while you are in the configuration of your router, make sure that "Enable SSID Broadcast" (or a similar expression) is checked.

  • WIRELESS and wired LAN do not know each other

    My internet provider installed a new cable modem, without capacity WIFI because I have an airport extreme base WIFI (with cable Express extensions).  Speed and quality are OK, wireless and wired, but there seems to be a wall of China between WIFI and wired (LAN): devices that are connected via a cable to my LAN are not visible from the wireless network and vice versa.  Airport extreme is not 'Bridge' mode ("because not of wireless on the new modem capability".)

    No idea of the reasons for this?  Thank you very much

    Sounds like the configuration of the device. With the airport devices it can operate as a device on the network or another firewall as its own network. I think that it is way jumpered to activate, this will allow you to configure the wireless on the airport, but your current router will do the DNS/DHCP and will be a single network.

    Now that you have configured as two routers on an independent network as there is no bridge.

  • Wireless and wired router, DHCP and "visibility".

    Okay, it's a bit complicated, but I'll explain better than I can.

    I have a wired Linksys RV082 router. It works very well but is not wireless.  I have a Cisco/Linksys E2500 wireless router for my wireless devices to use.  the RV082 is the network of 192.168.1.x. The E2500 is the network of 192.168.0.x.  Cable Internet goes to the RV082 Wired, and a line out from there to the wireless router.  This all works fine except for a few disadvantages.

    I have an iPad that connects wireless and some of the apps offer a http:// option, so I can transfer files to this application.  I also have a network printer connected to wired and wireless devices do not.

    I have 2 problems:

    (1) in order to transfer files from my laptop (that I hung on the cable network most of the time), I disconnect the wire, wireless, then I can transfer files.  Œuvres, but it's embarrassing.

    (2) I want a netbook that I have on the wireless connection to print on my printer wired network.

    It seems that the 2 networks do not see each other.  Here are the things I've tried:

    (1) I disabled DHCP on the wireless router.  My thought is that requests for an IP address to the wireless router has sent will be transmitted along my wired router... NOT.  On my iPad and Wii, they could no longer connect wirelessly. Strangely enough, with the disconnected wire and wireless connection with my laptop, I've still was getting a 192.168.0.x IP address, even if the DHCP service is disabled on the wireless router.

    (2) thinking I would put manually the wireless router on the 192.168.1.x network, instead of saying things to get an Internet connection IP dynamicaly, I manually the IP value is 192.168.1.245.  Serious mistake.  I couldn't connect at all anywhere then.  The only way I could fix it was to hang on to my laptop computer, assign a static IP address to my laptop on the same network as the router, then I was able to get to the configuration page and to put things like he was.

    Another thing... Even when I'm connected only plugged on my laptop and wireless is disabled, I ping 192.168.0.1 (the wireless gateway) and it returns a value. But, when I try to go in a browser, I get a "page not found" error

    So, how can I get these two networks to play well and see each other?

    Thank you

    Jesse

    Put the router E2500 'bridge' mode and it will transmit the RV082.

    Assign E2500 DHCP, an IP address for itself of thje RV082, it will just be for access to the web administration E2500. System powered via the E2500 wired or wireless IP addresses will be obtained from the DHCP server on the RV082, and these will all be on the same subnet as designed to be plugged into the side of the RV082 LAN.

    Should allow you to do exactly what you want to do.

    I have a similar setup here works well with an E4200V2 right now.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8100 does not print - wired network connection - Mac OS x 10.9

    I have my 8100 Officejet Pro connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I use Mac OS X 10.9. We had ongoing problems with the printer is accessible via the network. Whenever we have set up the connection, it works for a few print jobs, but whenever we close the printer, the next attempt to print always fails.

    I just went through all steps to solve the problem. I went back to square one: reinstalled printer drivers on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS x 10.9; has passed through all stages of wired network connection. and now, every time I send a job to the printer, it fits like the receipt of employment and printing, but the printer itself does not.

    The Billboard on the printer indicates it is connected to the network. Print the Network Setup page confirms it is connected to the cable network. Visit the IP address of the printer via my web browser also confirmed. I am able to print a printer HP Print Utility status report, so I don't know that the computer network and the printer are connected and communicate with each other. However, I can't print from MS Word, PDF files or anywhere else outside of the HP Print utility. Work is revealed in the queue, where it shows the status of each page completely 100%, employment disappears, but does never print it.

    Help, please. This has been a problem since I bought the printer, and now that my warranty has expired, it's my last hope of fixing. I'm at the end of my tether with a device that I spent enough money on to expect to work, and it does not work properly literally since the day where it was purchased. All attempts to implement working temporarily, at best. Thanks in advance and if you need more information, please let me know.

    Hi DBG345

    I understand that you are now able to print from USB, but not on the network.

    There are a few things you can try.

    Connect the printer to the router with the ethernet cable.

    Unplug the USB cable.

    Get the IP address of the printer.

    Click on the Apple.
    Click on System Preferences, click on the print icon and scanning, select the printer, click the sign - to remove the printer. Then click on the + sign, then select the printer from the list, select the printer name first, if it does not try the driver airprint, (airprint is apple pre-installed with functionality of basic pilot) click on the Add button.

    You can try is to add the printer as a Protocol IP to see if it will work. Go to Apple, system, print, and scan preferences, click on + button, then select the icon of intellectual property across the top, type in the IP address of the printer, select direct stream below, then apply.

    Try to print.

    I would like to sign up for updates from the HP driver. When available, you will be informed by e-mail.

    Hope that helps.

    The Apple Magic Keyboard can operate without bluetooth when connected to an iPad with the lightning to the USB camera adapter?

    I love the Apple Magic Keyboard to be very light (I want it with me everywhere). I also like that I can choose the layout of the keyboard I want (Canadian multilingual), which is not available on any keyboard for any brand, with the exception of Apple iPad (and I did a ton of research). I have problems with the old model of keyboard Apple Wireless because of the Bluetooth connection: I often have trouble connecting. I want a reliable keyboard. I don't like having to plug the keyboard on the iPad, and I think that a wired keyboard can more reliable and safer than a wireless keyboard. And a wired keyboard never had battery problems.

    I read that the Apple Magic Keyboard can work wired with a Mac without bluetooth. And I read that some USB keyboards work with lightning to the USB camera adapter. There are several keyboards with a cable (Belkin or Logitech) lightning, but none with the available Canadian multilingual.

    So, if I buy a magical keyboard Apple and a Flash to the USB adapter of the camera, according to my needs, I'll be satisfied or I'm going to be disappointed?

    A better solution would be to have a male-male cable lightning between the keyboard and the iPad, but I don't find any of these products anywhere.

    Thank you.
