Qwest is wrong. There are a number of manufacturers that make routers wireless with USB ports. This is a new trend.

D - Link makes this one. Unfortunately, it has been abandoned. Linksys makes this one.

Belkin makes one in this video.

  • Printer LaserJet 4100: Should which cable I for Laserjet 4100 connected to the laptop with USB port

    I have the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. I bought a new laptop with USB ports.  What type of printer cable I need to connect the printer to my laptop? Is there some kind of printer cable adapter, or something else that will do the trick?

    I have the same question about my HP Laserjet 1100 printer.

    Thanks in advance for your assistance expected.

    If I remember correctly, the 1100 uses a cable "C", alias MicroCentronics.  Have never seen an adapter for that one.  On the 4100, you can get a USB to parallel adapter.  They are pretty cheap and available at most CESS (Consumer Electronics Super Store) as Best Buy.  Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot should also wear.  Online is cheaper if you have time to wait.

    The thing with these USB converters is often must 'install' the cable first.  In other words, connect it to the laptop, then wait so he could install, then connect the printer.  Depending on your operating system and if you have correct updates that can be almost instantaneous, and you may not even see it pop on the screen.

    Best idea is that since these are obviously not portable machines, connect them to your router via a network card.  I had the 1100 years and used a cheap 170 X.  I know most recent are available which are faster.

    For the 4100, see if you can retrieve a Jet Direct 620 unit on eBay.  Probably less than $50 and sometimes even as little as $25.  Stay away from the 600, 510 or 615 cards.  Low or as the 600, they can leave your network open to hackers.  No need to get Gigabit cards as they will be well above what the 4100 can handle.

    Now, two of these old devices, processing power and memory can be a problem.  Never try to print documents online.  Save them on your laptop, and then print.  You will probably get communication errors if you print directly from IE or FireFox.

    If the 1100 does not die, not even worth fixing.  Put into a Fuser is a nightmare.  The 4100 will probably work for another 20 years if you keep to clean and replace the rolls before they cause jams.

  • WRTP54G (wireless router with phone connection) with Panasonic BL-C30A network camera (WEP only)

    Hello

    I would use this wireless router with WEP I can access the wireless camera (camera does only WEP encryption).
    The camera should be the only device authorized to connect to this wireless router.
    I can devote channel 11, so only use this wireless router
    I know that WEP can be cracked but I think maybe I can set up the router for it does not matter, i.e.,.
    While the camera is accessible by this particular router

    so my questions are:
    1. can I configure the router so only local outgoing LAN requests http are allowed?
    2. any other suggestions about the configuration of router that prevent access to my network?
    (using address filtering (by address mac camera only) MAC is worth, but I guess that the MAC address can be spoofed so not a complete solution)

    Thank you

  • With the help of WRT300N Wireless Router with a USB modem (satellite)?

    Hey there!  I tried to find this answer in various places online, and I saw a few things that have led me to believe that this is possible, but nothing to explain as thoroughly as I'd like.  I have a N of Linksys WRT300N wireless router.  For the next few months, new home construction we do service by cable or DSL, so we use the Cricket's broadband Internet, which connects via a USB port (Cricket is a 3G network, managed by a cell phone company).

    I'm trying to understand if there is anyway that I can connect internet Cricket USB to my computer, as usual, but then connect my router to the computer somehow so that I can distribute this wireless signal?  I'm having crazy to move the thing USB from one computer to another and would really like to connect my PS3 wireless signal, thus.

    Does anyone have an idea how this could be done?  If so, could you explain to me what I need to do quite exactly?  I am running Windows Vista on this computer.  Thank you very much in advance for your help.  You're going to be spare me months with a value of pulling my hair out, believe me.

    Yes you can do it, USB Modem not connecting to the computer, the computer must be connected to the Internet Port of the router and then it will give a Wi - Fi connection and...

  • With USB ports surge protectors

    I have an iPad 12,9 Pro.  I noticed an increase in surge protector Strip with USB connections available in stores.  Is can I charge my iPad Pro by directly connecting the charging cable into either of the USB sockets on the power strip to the surge protector?

    Perhaps, but it will be probably cool more slowly than with 12 Watt charger, it came with. Compare the 2.4 output amplifier with current available from one of these ports of surge protector.

  • Satellite C650 problem with USB ports

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop, with my USB ports.

    A few days ago, I plugged my mp3 to charge its battery. I did when system Windows began and after a few ports seconds has stopped working. They work for one to five minutes after starting my computer, but only after my laptop's turn off for a few hours at night for example.

    They work fine and all of a sudden we hear the sound of a disconnected device and usb ports turns off. I tried many solutions but nothing worked. I removed all the USB ports in Device Manager.

    I checked in the BIOS, but everything seems to be okay. I tried to disable the disconnection of usb ports to save energy, nothing. Tools that have been provided by Toshiba to check hardware see as usb ports work correctly. Only usbdview program sees as unknown device, I tried to uninstall it through this program but still nothing.

    You have an idea, what could happen? Or if there is no possibility to fix without service visit?
    I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Have you tested these ports USB plug a USB mouse or a USB keyboard?
    These devices work properly?

    I don t think you need a visit to the service.
    I think that it s just a software problem
    Given that the USB ports are controlled by the chipset, I would recommend reinstalling/updating the chipset driver

    The alternative is a bit drastic, I think about the recovery of the laptop...
    It might be possible that the registry has been confused upward or some 3rd party software preinstalled on the laptop could affect the USB ports.

    I remember that my USB ports do not work after installing iTunes.
    I had to reinstall the operating system once more to get the USB port work even more funny is that I installed iTunes once more and USB worked correctly

  • Problem with USB port and touchpad satellite A135-S2386

    Welcome!

    Laptop Satellite A135 in Houston, I bought about a year ago, it was working fine until last Friday. All my USB ports stoped working. I have power to the usb ports, but Windows Vista recognize any tool that is connected to the computer. Only what I get is USB is not recognized, or something like that. The same situation is under Linux (ETCH Deiban), the USB ports does not.

    Another thing is touchpad. It does not at all, regardless of it's Linux or Windows. Stoped working in Sunday.
    I used the cd recorvery and reinstall Vista, but the problems still exist.

    Please tell me what to do with this problem.

    See you soon

    Hello

    If the problem persists after using the original recovery media is certainly hardware related issue. I recommend you contact the nearest authorized service provider. They check your laptop.
    Sorry, but I really don't think you can do it alone to solve this problem.

  • PROBLEM WITH USB PORT

    Simple method is to unplug all your usb device, turn off your system (power off) press the power for 5 seconds (while it is turned off), then turn on your system. Leave the window and then try to connect your USB device one by one... Should be detected and installed, if necessary.

  • Sansa Fuze: Play through the car stereo with USB port

    I bought a fuse to play through my new car stereo using the USB port in the car.  It works fine if the the "rocket" plays internal memory, but does not work when I insert the micro-SD card [even tho SD card works fine in rocket not connected to the USB auto]. Any ideas? Sansa says lack of his car, but car people say no, and highlight car cannot distinguish which comes through the USB. On the same topic, someone tried to use a "USB" port USB auto?

    I can't speak for the part of SD card of your question, because I have not yet tried my rocket in my car.

    When you connect a rocket to a computer, however, the SD card appears as a separate drive. Maybe the radio cannot deal with the way in which the "rocket" offers access to the SD card. There is (cheap) USB key in the form of micro-SD card readers. Maybe that would fit your purpose here. Simply put the micro SD card in the drive of the USB and put the USB in your car stereo.

    USB USB keys should work properly in car radio with a USB port. I tried several disks to different USB memory and they are all worked well.

  • Window vista xps 420 problem with USB ports.

    I have problems with window vista dell xps 420 machine, all USB ports are not recognized, unless the computer is restarted or rebooted. anyone has a suggestion.

    Hi Miguelsmith,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    You can uninstall and reinstall all USB device manager entries and check if it helps.

    a. Click Start and typedevmgmt.msc and then click OK. Device Manager opens.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers.

    Note: You will need to scroll down to find this point.

    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.

    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    f. check the USB device to see if it works

  • You are looking for a monitor with USB ports side

    Hello

    I am currently using a 2208WFP who starts to go bad on me.  I like the two USB ports on the side for flash drives and cameras.  I looked on the website and I don't see with the side USBs.  Is there anything I'm missing?

    Ideally I'm looking for a 24 "monitor with two on the side and at least 2 USB ports on the bottom.

    Thank you.

  • Test product with USB Port

    Hello world

    I'm working on a project that requires testing in the production environment.

    These products have USB Port, and the only way that we can talk to the product is via the USB Port.

    The USB port inside the unit under test uses a USB to Serial Converter of FTDI chip.

    The problem is that every time when a new branch produced on the tester, windows detects it and takes its time to install the drivers, which leads to a long cycle time. Once the drivers are installed, configure the FTDI chip for the description of the product!

    After you have configured the FTDI chip, we configure the microcontroller on the product speaks through the FTDI chip.

    Is there another way this communication could be achieved, I mean using any other platform shipped, or if some how the process can be accelerated on windows?

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Try to add a Windows registry entry:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags]

    "IgnoreHWSerNum04036001" = hex: 01

    0403 6001 and corresponding to the ID of the seller (hex) corresponds to the product ID (hex)

    I used this hack successfully on test machines that go to USB FTDI serial front controller.

    Edit:

    As a side note, if the device is plugged into a different port, Windows will "load drivers" and give it a new COM port.  Take care, he still has the same physical connections and verify the port assignment after replacing the USB hubs, etc. of power failures.
