• Installation of a long range internet adapter Alfa

  I have a desktop computer HP Pavilion Elite Quad Core with 8 GB RAM, etc, etc... It is very nice.  I just moved to an area where the built-in adapter is not strong enough to pull in the wireless signal, so I bought an Alfa long range adapter that works perfectly.  While I have the correct configuration, I just need to know if I need to disable or uninstall the internal wireless network adapter if it comes into conflict with the new long range adapter, or will they play nice and automatically default to the new card?  Currently when I open network connections, I see a Local Connection 2 (network cable disconnected) network, A Wireless Network Connection 3 (he is my long range adapter Alfa (RTL8187), A Wireless Network Connection 4 (Wireless PCI Card (not logged in - I guess that's my built-in adapter) and a network 5 wireless connection (Microsoft Virtual MiniPort).))  I now have a wireless connection, but I assure you once for all that what I see is what I should see and no conflicts that can slow down my connection.  Help?

  There is no need to uninstall or disable the radio factory, if there are no networks in range. However, just to be safe, you can disable it in Windows Device Manager.

• Cascading of wireless routers. How?

  Hello!

  I need 2 routers cascade, but I can't use threads (at least for the moment), to extend the coverage of my private home network.

  First router is a WRT610Nv1, connected via PPPoE for my ISP and Internet. The two radio freq (2.4 & 5 MHz) are activated but I use mostly the 2.4 with the devices.

  Second router is an E2000, 2 floors below. During this second device, I would like to connect some cables (XBOX) and some wireless device (computers). It would be ok to configure E2000 as an Extender (same IP subnet) but I can't find any option or similar configuration to use WDS.

  Currently the E2000 place is taken by a 3rd router (WRT150Nv1.1 with firmware WW - DRT) acting as a Repeater bridge (over 2.4 MHz) but I want to dismiss this 3rd possibly using 5 MHz and didn't want to put the dd - wrt firmware in E2000.

  Is it possible to connect WRT610N and E2000 cascade wireless? How can I configure them?

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion...

  Concerning

  Roberto

  No you can not mount cascade two Linksys wireless routers, you must use a thread.  However, there are 3rd party firmware that can do this.  Make a search for DD - WRT and discover their firmware.

• Addition of wireless routers in series with the existing network

  I have a client who wants to add at least 3 Wireless throughout their existing network routers. The problem is that these routers must be in the same subnet as the existing network. Oh, we use routers Linksys WRT610N. By default, routers set up a new subnet with a DHCP assigned IP of the primary subnet. I was able to change the static WAN IP, but I do not know how to configure the rest. The point of this is that if a user connected via the ethernet cable or wireless signal, they should be able to access the same network resources. I chatted with support, but they are not allowed to help what it isn't is not a "standard" configuration Anyone can shed some light on this subject? I've done this before with another customer, but its been a few years and it's a different router.

  Thank you!

  You don't want a router. You want a wireless access point. You have wireless routers that you do not use as routers, but only as access points. A router by definition routes traffic between several subnets connected to the various interfaces (LAN and WAN). This kind of configuration is not what the WRT is built for and that's why support said you that it is not a standard configuration for a WRT.

  You can use a WRT as simple access point.

  Reconfigure the router via its web interface. Connect a computer to the router first.

  1. set the LAN IP address on a free IP address in the existing network.
  2. make sure NOT to set a static IP address on the type of internet connection.
  3. on the main configuration page turn off the DHCP server.
  4. now save the settings. You will lose the connection.
  5. unplug the computer and one of the numbered LAN ports of wire to your existing network.

  Now you can access the web interface of the WRT to the new LAN IP address. All wired to the other 3 LAN ports and everything wirelessly connected has access to the network directly.

• is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers

  is it possible to connect 2 computers 2 different 1 modem wireless routers?

  Why do you have 2 routers?

  Depends on the design of the modem. It probably only supports a connection. So, you'll probably end up making a wired connection between modem and "1 router" and if you really need a second wireless router, install a wired connection between the 2 routers.

• Cisco still sells router-AP (wireless routers) for domestic use

  Well, do not really know where to ask
  But what is described

  Cisco router-point of access is great and fearsome performance for a domestic use, but cisco is still for sale? If so, can someone give me a link to the list of products?
  Think so just to clarify, I'm not talking about Linksys wireless routers :)

  If you are looking for equipment of the company, so it's Cisco, but since they let go the Linksys line, it is not any kind of home router AP. Cisco has an SME but that may not be what you want too.

• Long-range WiFi network

  Hello

  I would like to know if this is possible with some Linksys router or extender to increase the WiFi coverage by adding an external antenna (parabolic style) and to what extent it would provide coverage if the antenna 24dBi.

  If you have another recommendation and a sketch on how to install this would be great.
  I am open to buy another router, if necessary, but need advice. Models, etc...

  The main objective is for Wifi to a building that has a large wired connectivity and to provide WiFi to approx. 500 m to 1 KM range in one direction as the Earth is long enough.

  Please advice!

  Thank you

  Sylvain

  Hi scorney. I suppose it would be possible but applies only with routers that have external antennas. I read somewhere that if you have an antenna 24dBi it can provide up to 8 miles from the beach. You can also check this link: http://www.simplewifi.com/parabolicgrid.html?sl=EN

  This is how it should be intalled on a wireless router. I also recommend the Linksys WRT1900AC and Linksys EA6900.

  

  I hope this will help you.

• Suggestion for setting up a good secured router including wireless routers

  I've owned three routers LinkSys Wireless since May 2007: two WRT54G (V6 and V8) and my current V1 E3000.  All provided configuration options that can do if it is very difficult, if not impossible, for unauthorized access to my WiFi routers.

  All changes must then your system is connected to one of the router's Ethernet ports and not through WiFi due to the modification point #3 of "General Suggestions.

  All the elements in square brackets by "<>" are the titles of LinkSys Admin web pages or sections of web pages.  Don't forget to click "Save Settings" on a single web page before you go to another web page or your changes will be lost.

  Please note that not all pages of the LinkSys Router Web Admin can use the titles of Section-page/website such as used in this suggestion.

  Make sure you know MAC address and physics of your wireless adapter so that it will be necessary for the point #3 «Proposals WiFi»  Assuming that you have a Microsoft Windows-based system, use a 'Command Prompt' to issue command ' ipconfig/all' to determine the MAC address (aka physical) of your adapter WiFi wireless connected to a router.

  After all the suggested changes, repeat the process to ensure that the changes have been saved.

  GENERALS.

  (1) < administration/mgmt=""> change the Admin password to one of your choice.

  (2) access to disable HTTP and HTTPS allow access.  After that it changed was recorded, you must reconnect to the router via note https://192.168.1.1 URL using httpS or http (without S) for a secure connection to the router admin web pages.

  (3) in Wireless disable access to the Admin web pages.  Must use the Ethernet port on the router.

  (4) in disable remote management AND disable UPnP - UPnP (a well-known Protocol should can route diversion if enabled).

  Specific suggestions of WiFi.

  (1) in turn off the SSID broadcast.  This will prevent the intruders 'driveby' to see the SSID of LinkSys Router.  Make sure that change you the default SSID of your choice.

  (2) in set your security level to the WPA or WPA2 (preferred WPA2).  Do NOT use WEP because it's encryption algorithm can be cracked in less than 5 seconds.  This will protect your transmissions between your system and the router.  The E series routers are supported both WPA/WPA2 depending on the client configuration.  My WRT54G routers would support only WPA or WPA2.

  (3.) in Select AES, TKIP not as security consultants have recently discovered a flaw in TKIP encryption crackable.

  4.) Select a passphrase that you and systems all allowed must be used to secure your router connections.

  (5) in the enable filtering MAC and "Allow only PC" whose MAC addresses are defined in the .  Both of these changes will require that you register addresses MAC and physical of all wireless clients that allow you to connect to your network router.  Failure to record the physical address/MAC system will refuse this system to access your network, even if they have the correct passphrase AES and SSID.

  1. disable the SSID broadcast is useless. Any Drivede will detect always immediately the access point because it should send signals of tag.

  It is trivial to force a wireless client to reveal the SSID. Thus, any hacker will be able to learn the SSID almost immediately after it has detected the presence of your router.

  In addition, to disable the SSID broadcast causes known problems of connection/reconnection with several wireless devices.

  In addition, broadcast disable SSID drains the batteries in your wireless devices as they have to actively seek a connection to your SSID to know whether here or now.

  As long as your wireless device is not connected to a wireless network, it will be continues to try to connect to your SSID at regular intervals. For example, if you have your iPhone set up to connect to your home network and you pull out your iPhone permanently tries to connect to your SSID, transmitting the requests of the association on a regular basis, actually bloating on your "hidden SSID' to anyone.

  As transmitting something takes a lot more power then passively scanning and tuned radio waves, it drains the battery. If you need good battery life with your ever wireless devices connect them to a network with SSID broadcast disabled, or make sure that the device does not automatically connect to it!

  Never disable the SSID broadcast, especially not for security reasons, because they do not offer any added safety or an advantage.

  2. the MAC address filtering does nothing more. MAC addresses are always in the unencrypted part of wireless packet. Any attacker will immediately learn the MAC addresses of your wireless devices. It is absolutely useless in the means of security and cause problems as the best for you. Do not bother about the filtering of MAC addresses. It does not prevent attacks on your network as it is easily circumvented.

  Use WPA2 with AES and a password strong. That's all that is necessary to protect your wireless network.

  The rest is a joke for any aggressor and bothers you much more than the alleged assailant. If an attacker was able to decipher your network WPA2/AES the SSID of your network and MAC addresses are a free byproduct you will get during the cracking process...

• HP Pavilion DV6 3050TX: (low range) wireless network driver problem

  My hard drive and motherboard both damaged so I installed a new hard drive and the motherboard and install a new copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).

  That would be the best driver for this card.

• HP Photosmart B209a is no longer connect wirelessly because change of modem/router

  I recently had to change a modem Motorola Surfboard, router Netgear (both at least 5 years). The new modem/router combo is a C3700 Docsis 3.0. My printer HP Photosmart Plus B209a model is no longer connects to the wireless network.  I tried the push button and pin. I get a WPS, unable to connect. When I print the network settings, my network is listed but the printer shows offline with no active conection. Firmware is EIL1FNO926AR and stands as the last revision of the printer. Wireless 802.11 under the mac address is given, and status is offline.  In addition, the printer and modem/router are about 3 feet apart on the same desktop.

  Any ideas for what to do to get my printer back online or is not compatible with the new modem/router?

• HP Photosmart Premium e than all-in One (C310a) no longer print wireless

  I have a Photosmart Premium e All in One (C310a) printer/Scanner and it stopped printing via wireless network - I don't think I've changed anything on the network.  There are the following symptoms:

  1 impressions sent via wireless just sit in the queue after some time and printing status indicates error - printing.

  2. we will analyze more wireless.

  3. If I turn it on to USB connection, it prints very well.

  4. She will print a test page when insiders from the printer menus.

  5. I have downloaded and run the doctor HP Print & Scan which reported no problem.

  I am running XP Home Premium (64-bit) on my computer if it is relevant.  I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, but that did not help.  Grateful for advice on the resolution of it.

  I finally fixed that!  My router provider was completely useless, when I rang them and just declare that they offer no support for port mapping...  However, it was not the router.  It turns out it was my internet security suite (McAfee), which had decided to start the Spooler SubSystem App from blocking. By chaning this setitng to allow outgoing connections that I solved the problem and the printer work again wireless.

  Thanks for the help and advice AlwaysNeon, I thought would post the solution although case someone each reports the same symptoms again.

• Several wireless routers

  I have more than one router.  Whenever my printer goes off by accident and come back, so links to the bad rounter and IP address are more correct and I can't printer wireless.  Is there a setting on my printer where I can tell him what router I want to link to? I use an all in one Officejet 4260.  This happens to me 2 x already and both times I had to contact HP chat where they must remove the printer and add it to the back and a whole bunch of things... I am looking for a solution simple say just the printer which router or IP address I want it to connect to... How can I do this or is this possible without remove and reinstall the printer and everything... Please notify.

  Hi ahlowerre,

  I would recommend giving the 4620 printer an IP address for the router you want to connect to:

  1. print a network configuration Page in the front printer wireless settings menu. Note the IP address of the printer.
  2. from a computer connected to the same network as the printer, type the IP address of the printer into a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  3. choose the network tab, and then under wireless on the left side of the tab of Configuration IPv4.
  4. in this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
  5 use the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  6. Enter the IP of the router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway address field.
  7. Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
  8. click on 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  After that, you may need to rediscover the printer on the network from your computer:
  1. go to start > Control Panel > devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
  2. run the start printing software > all program > model of HP printer > Printer Setup & Software.

  3. Select connect new printer > Wireless.

  4. follow the directions of the software to connect your computer to the printer.
