Need help setting up network home (Windows 7 Professional)

I don't know why I have so much trouble with this.  I think that I never properly put in place a network before.  Usually, I just turn on my router with a password, and then the phone and other devices connect directly to the router.  I just got a new computer with Windows 7 Professional and it is prompting me to create a home network - and have apparently created a new password for the 'network' that is different from the password for the router.  I have a feeling that this will be easy, but I do not get set up correctly.

First question, in the instructions to configure the network at a time given, was asked if all "clients" had a "wifi protected setup" button

What is a 'client' on the network?  My router Linksys has one of these buttons (I pushed him, but he could not get connect/setting up with Windows 7).  Is a router from a client?  If so, a client what?  (I do not understand the use of the term client.)

Here's what I would do.  I have internet entering a cable modem.  Ethernet to the modem router Linksys WRT54G.  (I don't remember the exact model.  It has a button "wifi protection setup.  Ethernet to the router to the desktop.  The router's Ethernet compatible HP printer wifi (which is currently on its own network).  The Windows account has two users (mine, of my wife).  The goal is to have a single network, with the office and the connected printer, and who I can connect with my iPhone.  And I want to be able to print wireless from my iPhone to the printer.

Here's what I did.  There is a lot of information, but if all goes well it will prevent additional questions.

I have reset the router and went to the 192.168.1.1. page.  In the Administration tab, I created a new password - which I thought was the password for the network.  I was not the case.  In the wifi tab, I looked for a place to put a password, but could not find one.

I went on the computer, the network options in Control Panel to add a new network.  I was able to get a new network with the computer (LAN) connected to the router, but I couldn't get wifi to set up.  He told me to press the setting button of protection wifi on the router, but after a long delay, he said that he could not establish a connection.  Finally, I got a message (I don't know how) if I wanted to connect older devices to the network, I need to put a code - 12 letters/numbers with dashes.  I don't know what types of devices called it.  So, I found in managing network a "network key" tab  It was the same code - and it also seemed to work as wifi password.  But I can't change it to something that is possible to remember.

And I can't do the printer on the same network as the computer.

I guess I'm going something wrong.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

It seems that if the printer is in 'ad hoc wireless' mode - it is just sitting there with his wi - fi enabled: indeed, 'here I am; connect to me if you want to print. »

You need to connect the printer to the network wireless router.  It's pretty easy, but if you want a specific rather than general instructions, please provide the exact model of your HP printer.

Generically, see--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/printer-setup-help.html , you will probably end by using the option of 3rd or 4th.  In step 4 of the "HP Wireless Assistant', 'the WEP key or a WPA password' is the 'wifi password on the router" - which really, you must configure except if the House really is miles from any other civilization.

"Referring to the first paragraph above, what I called the mode"ad hoc"seems to be what HP calls impression of"peer-to-peer"."  More specifically, in the FAQ at this link, your printer seems to currently be configured as described in "how to print wireless without a wireless router?

Although he adds a little more complexity, I highly recommend that - after that you get things market - you read the FAQ section of HP on "a static IP will keep my computer against the loss of communication with my printer wireless."  In an environment with multiple wi - fi devices (for example, several iPhones), if the printer is turned off for a while, when you turn it back on it you will find that your computer will display is no longer her.  Print jobs will appear to work, but nothing will print.  If this situation arises, the solution is this FAQ section.

  • I need help setting up a home network

    I have a 7 m DSL connection. Using a modem without phone/ethernet gateway serving a computer office wired ethernet and a wireless laptop, I would like to know if I should put in place a network home ethernet and add a wireless device or I set up a wireless network and add a wired ethernet device. Two computers use Vista Home Premium 64 - bit OS. I have 1 printer and a XBox (wired) and a (wired) DirectTV receiver attached, too.

    What is the brand and model of your wireless/ethernet modem access point?  It should be able to provide any wireless networks and wired Ethernet network.

    Wired Ethernet ports how do I need?  If she has enough for all computers and devices that you want to network, you're ready.  If not, connect a wired Ethernet switch for more ports.

    Steve,

    Excellent happy you guessed it work.

    First thing that strikes the second problem is that it is another subnet. Why don't you just create a new vlan on the router. You can have 4 VLANS on routers. You can have them both going at once then. You can also consider opening a new thread on the new problem.

    Thank you

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Hi Ted,

    You are welcome

    Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.

    Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.

    Save the changes and exit the bios.

    Follow the previous procedure below:

    Insert the bootable disc of Ophcrack and laptop stop.

    Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    Hello
     
    1. What is the error message you get when you try to install the update?

    How to determine what version of the .NET Framework is installed and determine whether the service packs have been applied
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318785
     
    In the meantime, follow these methods to solve the problem.
     
    Method 1:
     
    Temporarily disable any security software and then try to install the updates.
     
    Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2:
     
    a. open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, and then clicking Administrative Tools.
    b. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. right-click on the Windows Update service and then click on stop.
    d. Click Start, and then click principally made programs, then click Accessories, and then right-click on command prompt and choose Run as administrator.

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll/s
    net start wuauserv

    output
     
    Restart the system and see if it can be updated now.
     
    Method 3:
     
    After running the tool that is appropriate and necessary, (re) install all versions of the .NET Framework manually by using the download links on the page.
     
    Method 4:
     
    Download and install the stand-alone package.
