If my desktop pc is connected through CATV cable, I use the wireless connection?

We have a router that connects two laptop computers, a smart phone and smart TV, a Kindle reader and a printer.

I want to know is so that desktop shows a "wireless network connection", I actually use this connection if this computer is connected through a CATV cable? Specifically, if I disconnect in that regard, maybe would I win any speed for this computer or laptop computers that are located in different parts of the House?

And if so, how can I fix it so that it does not automatically each time connect that I boot?

Thanks for your advice.

It seems to me that you have a wireless router with many connected devices, including a desktop PC, and you want to know if forcing the PC being used a wired connection to the router, instead of a wireless connection, will increase speed or ease of use for one of your devices?

Short answer, probably yes, and it should not hurt anything.

Wireless network connections are all just more finicky than the wired connections. Without knowing the details of your router, I can't do any insurance policy, but reducing the pressure on your wireless radio components and its replacement by the PC with a wireless connection wired should not hurt anything and could help.

I guess CATV here means a type of wired network cable CAT-5 cable? If it's just a "CAT 5" cable, he'll only go 100 Mbps, which might be slower than your wireless router. However, 100 Mbps is probably faster than your internet connection at home (your speed of the router to the outside world), so it should be good. If it's a "CAT-5e" cable, so no problem.

To disable your wireless connection on the PC, go to control panel-> Device Manager command. You will get a window with a list of all the hardware devices on your computer, listed by category. A category must be "Network adapters" or something similar. Expand this category by clicking on it and find your wireless card (something something Wifi or wireless network card). Right-click, and then click on disable. Now your computer will be able to connect with the wired connection. When you want to cancel the process, simply repeat these steps and you will find that 'Disable' has been replaced with the option 'enable '.

  • Cable connection part for good - once I started using the wireless NETWORK card!

    Hello

    I went although all people in support on this issue, but now I have no other choice than to ask all you people here!

    That is the problem. I have two computers with multiple network cards. One is a laptop computer with wireless Draft-N support and 10/100/1000 NIC onboard. The other is a desktop computer with an ASUS Wifi b/g edge and also dual GigE ports nVidia graphics card.

    Whenever I try to use network wired for internet or local network even cards use, it died on me. It is impossible to obtain an IP address from the router to use and is unable to communicate with anyone at all. Not even with my local network or even directly to the router (192.168.1.1). If I turn on the wireless card, it connects and everything is groovy (except that I lost my GigE connection to my local network, which is most important!).

    I havegone through the standard fare of cyclic power to the router and cable modem, reboot of my machines, etc. all the normal things, we are required to do.

    After some hassles with the support of Linksys to get them to send me a new WRT330N, I finally received a new WRT310N and it shows exactly the same problem! Wireless connections work fine, but as soon as I disable the WiFi and wired go, Windows XP gives me nothing else than a message "limited or no connectivity" and let me out of the network.

    This leads me to think it's some sort of network problem due to multiple MACs on the same host name. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

    Thank you!

    Disable the firewall on the computer and then also try to connect the computer to the modem and check if the computer is able to connect.

  • Problems connecting to the internet using the wireless network connection

    I can't connect to the internet using my wireless network connection. I had made the diagnosis and he stated that "the DHCP is not enabled for the wireless network connection. I had checked the DHCP, but it has been activated!... Someone would give any suggestion for me to solve the problem?

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type services.msc and press enter . Search The Client DHCP and check if it is enabled or disabled. If disabled then turn it on and see if the problem still persists or not.

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd , and press enter . At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER. Now, check the IP address, default gateway, DNS etc. If you find all the information is correct, but you cannot yet access the Internet so if you connect the wireless network is secure or not. To determine the glance to the wireless network icon in the taskbar, then click on it. It will show you the available wireless networks. If there is a "yellow shield" present on the network icon, the network is not guaranteed, if there is no "yellow shield" does while the network is secure. In a secure network, you might have a "network security key. In this case try to disable the 'Network security key' option for this network. To do this:

    Open Control Panel , click network and Internet , click network and sharing Center , click manage wireless networks on the left.

    In the list select the wireless network and do a right click, select Properties, Security disable tab all options that is, in security type do not select no authentication (Open) and to the type of encryption , select none . You can also activate the automatic connection and SSID settings to further enhance connectivity, on the connection tab, click to select the "connect automatically if this network is in range " and "check boxesto connect even if the network is broadcasting his name (SSID) .

    For more information click here and see how you can determine whether a network is secure or not.

    If the problem still persists, then check your firewall settings and make sure that the firewall is not blocking your Internet connection. Some software Antivirus has a built-in firewall and they block by default all unknown connection to the tightening of security.

    Try to restore Windows Firewall default settings. Open Control Panel click on network and Internet , click system and security , click Windows Firewall , click default settings .

    Hope this will help. Thank you.

  • I started my computer and connected but have lost s icon on my desktop. I cannot close normally except by using the reset button.

    I login in safe mode and icons appear.

    I also checked device Manager with the warning icon in the network adapters.

    Teredo tunneling adapter 10 error.

    I get internet connection in safe mode but not in normal mode.

    I have windows 7.

    Little likely that would contribute in safe MODE - probably loads without network at all.  ;-)

    You can connect in safe mode, so... Create a NEW USER in safe MODE...

    1. Go to the--> user accounts Control Panel (user accounts and Family Safety--> add or remove user accounts--> create a new account--> account management of--> create a new account.)
    2. Give the user new administrator rights.
    3. Restart the PC and login as the new user.

    The new user works in normal mode?

    You can now, navigate to the location mentioned before see if (under your user name usual folder\desktop) icons you think Miss exist?

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with the connection of your Deskjet 3050 has e-all-in-one printer to your computer Mac OSX 10.11. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Turn the printer off:
    2. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.
    3. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
    4. Disable any antivirus, firewall or security of your Mac software.
    5. Try to run the installer.

    Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to print to the printer, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • Data Currency Adjustment of entity are not copy through rule when we used the value source as "ECT."

    Hi all

    Data Currency Adjustment of entity are not copied through rule when we try to copy the data from one entity to another entity for the same account if the account is to have only the data entity Currency Adjustment but rule the data copied correctly when the entity is to have Exchange entity adjustments and currency of the entity.

    Wrote the rule to copy the values from the source account ' entity currencies Total "to target the currency of the account"entity ". Rule works as follows:

    1. If the source account's currency of the entity and entity Currency Adjustment, total value ECT (EC + ECA) copy correctly to currency of the entity to the target account. -OK

    2. If the source account's single currency entity (has no entity value Currency Adjustment) then under rule copy data properly to account currency of the target entity.  -OK

    3 but if the source account has only entity Exchange adjustments (has no value of currency of the entity) and then under rule is not copy of account currency of the entity of the target data. -Requirement

    Could you please see the rule below and please suggest possible solution to copy the Court of Auditors with the help of ECT when the source account has only ECA.

    If Hs.Entity.Member = "120006_ALTER" and HS. Value.Member = "Currency entity of <>" Then

    HS = IS_Account. Account.List ("NetProfit", "[Basic]")

    For each Account1A in IS_Account

    Set dataUnit HS =. OpenDataUnit ("E #120006.A #" & Account1A & ".") W #YTD")

    numItems = dataUnit.GetNumItems

    If numItems > 0 Then

    For I = 0 to numItems-1

    Call dataUnit.GetItem (I, vAcct, ACIP, vCust1, vCust2, vCust3, vCust4, AllocAmt)

    If AllocAmt <>0 then

    GSA Exp "A #" & Account1A & "=" & _

    «E #120006.V # < entity Curr Total >.» "A #" & Account1A

    End If

    Next

  • Disable the button "Close" command through LabVIEW prompt by using the Win32 API

    Hi all

    I'm trying to disable the close button of a third party console application which I invoke with LabVIEW. I tried to use GetSystemMenu() and DeleteSystemMenu() user32.dll, but somewhere I'm doing it wrong.

    Can anyone suggest a solution to this?

    Thank you!

    FraggerFox

    You have the window handle?  Hand, I don't know how to remove it, but here is a code c# I used to gray on the close button the window in another project:

    [DllImport ("user32.dll")]
    private static extern IntPtr GetSystemMenu (IntPtr hWnd, bool bRevert);
    [DllImport ("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool EnableMenuItem (IntPtr hMenu, uint uIDEnableItem,
    uint uEnable);

    private const Int32 SC_CLOSE is 0xF060;.
    private const UInt32 MF_BYCOMMAND = 0 x 00000000;
    private const UInt32 MF_ENABLED = 0 x 00000000;
    private const UInt32 MF_GRAYED = 0 x 00000001;
    private const UInt32 MF_DISABLED = 0 x 00000002;
    private void EnableClose (Boolean enable)
    {
    IntPtr pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu (Handle, false);
    If (pSysMenu! = null)
    {
    EnableMenuItem (pSysMenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND |) (activate? MF_ENABLED: MF_DISABLED));
    }
    }

    It was easy enough to convert more than once I had the handle (it's a library, I picked up somewhere).

    I hope this helps.
