Using a router Wireless G Compact strictly as a "Splitter/hub Ethernet '?

I have a room with a single Port Ethernet; That's not enough, I need about four.

Is there a way I can use my Wireless-G Compact route as an Ethernet hub and not a wireless router?

You must disable the DHCP server on the wireless G router so that it functions as a hub/switch. But you couldn't use 3 ethernet on the router ports, since you will use an ethernet port to be connected to the main router.

You can check these steps.

Step 1:
Check the IP address of the main router and write it down.  Example 192.168.1.1

Step 2:
Connect a computer to the second router (desktop / laptop) to one of the second router's Ethernet ports.
Do not connect the main router yet.

Step 3:
Go to the page of the second router (example 192.168.1.1)

Step 4:
On the basic settings tab, search for IP address or local IP address.

NOTE: If the IP address is the same as the main router, change the fourth byte (the number in the fourth box) to a different value.

Example:

Main router: 192.168.1.1-> secondary router should be: 192.168.1.2

Step 5:
For the DHCP server setting, set the disabled DHCP server.

Step 6:
Click on save settings.

Step 7:
Unplug the cable from your computer and connect it to one of the Ethernet ports on the main router.

Powercycle the second router (router B) and once the power led is solid, you can now check your Internet connection.

TIP: If your routers are wireless, you have the possibility to synchronize the wireless settings or not.  If you prefer set two 2 different network names in the type of your LAN-to-LAN connection, you will still be able to file sharing since the IP of the second wireless network segment will be in the range with the main wireless network.
Or you can also disable "Wireless network Mode" under the wireless tab

  • Using Linksys router wireless hackers to break in via UPnP port?


    It has rather "likely" but not a "must be".

    It could be your computer (if you connect wired or wireless to the router).

    It could be a virtual machine on your computer (if you are using vmware or similar software).

    It could be Windows (you can configure Windows to use 2 IP addresses, although not two addresses DHCP).

    I recommend you open a command prompt window. Enter 'arp - a' and check if it lists other than router and iP addresses. If it shows a different IP address with a MAC address you have something else connected somewhere.

    With regard to the scans: I can't tell what someone is trying to access. Maybe someone is trying to access other ports as well and they don't get connected. Or perhaps there is no other access (i.e. someone connects to your network and then the discovery of Windows UPnP standard product that is causing the alerts on your computer but that's all).

    For example, if you only see the UPnP port alerts in your firewall logs, it is likely that nobody tries to hijack your computer. I would say it is more likely a normal computer connected to your network using your internet connection. But it is impossible to say for sure without checking the network traffic with a lot of attention.

    I would recommend that you check your configuration first.

    1 are you sure that you do not have any of your wireless device that will connect to your network (i.e. game consoles, wireless phone, etc..)?

    2. check the wiring. Is there anything else that connected to the router?

    3. check the configuration of the router. Have you changed the password "admin" to the router?

    4. have you changed the default SSID "linksys" at something? Have you enabled security WPA2 Personal wireless with a password strong?

    5. are you sure it's your router? Are you sure that you are connected to your router and not your neighbor? Maybe you had wireless network "linksys" default configured in your computer when you first your router and you never removed from your list of favorite networks. Now your neighbor got a router linksys with the default settings and in fact your computer connect wireless to your neighbor and you see computer your neighbor...

    6. you have enabled on the router remote management?

    7. what router do you have? Check the label below for exact model and version.

    8. what version of firmware you have on the router? Check in the web interface.

    To reset the router it is probably better to reset to the factory settings by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds to remove all the parameters of fake/hacked that can exist. Then reconfigure your router from a computer connected to the router. You need to change the password for "admin" on the Administration page to a password strong. You will need to change the "SSID" "linksys" to something unique. You have to active personal WPA2 security with AES encryption and a strong password for the maximum level of security.

    You should also clean the list of preferred wireless networks on your computer to remove any that you don't need really. Then reconnect your computer to your new SSID and enter the password. That should do it. Now you have a secured wireless network.

  • Not to access Internet using WRT54G Router wireless

    I'll try to provide as much information as possible. My mother-in-law gave me his wrt54g router so that we could get Netflix through our Wii. I have an old Compaq laptop for a year and am running Windows 7 with a wireless Internet connection through my service provider. I installed the router with no problems and was able to do online with the Wii. However, I am more able to get Internet access on my desk. It shows that my Internet is connected but it displays "no network access.  I had on fine at first, then I went on the 192.168.1.1 site to configure my data.  I changed my time zone and then to secure my connection.  I don't remember the exact option that I chose, but I think it was something like personal WAP2. As soon as I selected the screen has frozen and I can not access this site or access the Internet through the router. If I unplug my Ethernet cable from the router and plug it directly into the pc I get very well online. I know that this router works with a PPPoE connection, because it's what my mother-in-law a. tried to get support from my ISP, but they left open-mouthed via chat.  Can someone help me understand how to get this router to allow me access so I can use office and the Wii?  Thank you.

    Fix it!  I called my local service provider and explains the problem. He had me go in the settings of the router and change the connection between "Connect on Demand ' and 'Keep Alive '.  Everything works fine now.  Thank you!

  • Unable to connect to internet on laptop using the router wireless netgear WGR614 v9 and windows 7

    My office that I use as my host computer running Windows XP. I have a wireless network works on another laptop also on Windows XP, but cannot get a connection on the second laptop that is running Windows 7. Just bought from a friend. I appreciate any help you can give. The laptop has a Wi Fi sticker on it, so I guess he has the ability to connect. When I try to connect, it will ask me a security key. I put the safety key in and it said possible key is not. Don't know what else to do. If I run an ethernet cable from the modem and connect it to the laptop, it will allow me to connect to the internet.

    Hello

    Look in the Wireless Manager and delete everything that is there.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Vista/wireless_manager.jpg   (Control Panel, network and sharing Center. Upper-left click Manage wireless networks.

    After cleaning, connect from taskbar tray wireless icon.

    Given that your wireless network is more in the preferred list, it will prompt for the password. Put the password that is current, and if all goes well it will connect.

    If the password does not work the newspaper to the router with a cable and restore the password.

  • Unlocked Firefox OS smartphones can be used on Verizon Wireless?

    Hello. I heard THAT ZTE sells its newest smartphone OS Firefox eBay unlocked for $99. I was wondering if this smartphone can be used on Verizon Wireless in the United States. I noticed in the ad for the smartphone ZTE she currently supports 3 G speeds only and does not support 4 G LTE eBay. Verizon Wireless is a CDMA carrier for 3 g (instead of GSM), so I think the ZTE Firefox OS smartphone, and probably all other Firefox OS smartphones currently available, are not compatible with Verizon Wireless, even if they are unlocked. Any clarification on my question would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Sorry for the wait.

    No, Firefox OS devices are currently feel CDMA GSM carriers such as Sprint and Verizon will not work for two reasons:

    • Different bands
    • GSM uses SIM cards, CDMA uses some form of SIM like Verizon with LTE phones.

    If unlock you, there is a chance very light , that you can get is in Cricket, Straight Talk, MetroPCS, or something similar, but right now (to my knowledge), Firefox OS devices are strictly CDMA.

    Sorry ' end that. Hope that this things clarification for you.

  • Settings need to connect a second desktop computer using a NetGear wireless adapter.

    Original title: wireless settings

    I need the settings to connect a second desktop computer using a NetGear wireless adapter.

    The Belkin router work a lot using my Tablet and streaming movies but I can't understand

    the settings on the second PC.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    "Settings", you need are the SSID (network name) and the encryption key (password).

    Unless you have configured the router to 'hide' the SSID (generally a bad idea), you will see in the list of available wireless networks.  Then, the only thing you need is the encryption key.

    If you do not write your encryption key, you can find it by logging into your router configuration utility.

    If you have a computer running Windows can now connect to the router, open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) and type "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.  Take note of the 'Default gateway' address.  It is the IP address of the router.

    The default IP for Belkin routers is 192.168.2.1.

    On a computer that is already connected to the router, open a browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) and enter the IP address of the router (the gateway by default, you noted above or 192.168.2.1).  If you do not have a computer that is connected to the wireless router, you will need to temporarily connect a computer to the router by an Ethernet cable.

    Connect to the router configuration utility.  If prompted for a password and you don't remember, you need to reset the router to its factory default.  Return ticket for additional instructions.

    Once logged in, click on "Security" under "wireless" in the menu.  At this point, you should see a page that shows your password.  Write it down and exit the router configuration utility without making any changes.

    For more help, post back with the model of your Belkin router and also mention if you have any Windows computer that can connect to the router (and if yes, what version of Windows they use).

  • Modem router Wireless N upgrade?

    I have a Linksys BEFCMU10 ver.2 modem which has served us for about 8 years.  I've recently updated our wireless n router, but have seen no improvement in the coverage area or speed.  The seller in Microcenter told me that my current modem was fine, but I wonder if I need to improve my modem to take advantage of the N WiFi feature.  Another thing, I remember when the tech our cable connected to the modem, it added a 10/100 switch.  Can it be purchased?  The research I did on the forums, it seems that I need a compatible 10/100/1000 switch for the gigabit speed.

    I apologize for the basic questions, but I tell myself that if I want to learn I have well start somewhere

    Thank you!

    It is not question of cause I don't think you have 100Mpbs subscription from your ISP. This modem is good for home use. You will get your your router Wireless N speed and that's only within your local network.

  • Linksys makes a Combo of Modem/Router Wireless N cable

    Does Linksys router wireless n gateway, a combination router and cable modem?

    Currently I have the unit combined for wireless g, but upgrade to wireless-n.

    Thank you!

    I think at the moment that doesn't sell Linksys 802.11n gateways.

    I generally recommend not getting the combined devices, but better to get two separate devices, a simple modem and a wireless router.

    1. you have a far greater choice of products for the router, and they are usually less expensive.

    2. in the event of the death of the router you can still have internet via the modem directly. If the combined unit dies, you are in offline mode.

    3. less functions in a more simple design makes the device and averages more stable and more reliable devices.

    4. you can replace a device at any point. For example, if you pass the ADSL or FTTH cable you can simple replace the modem. You may need to change the configuration on the router but other internet connection so that you can keep the router. Similarly, if two years from now, you want to get the router new generation wireless you can continue to use your modem (if it is still suitable for your internet speed)

    Is what brand and model of printer?

    I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.

If I change the router Wireless SSID Broadcast is YES, then the printer HP6700 can connect to the wireless router. I set up the printer it saying that the SSID and password have been, the same as both of my laptops, but it connects ever, unless I have change the router to broadcast the SSID. Help!

    Have you tried to update the firmware on the DI-514?

    You can also try to set a static IP address on the printer, and then assign the printer to the list of DHCP static in the interface of the router.
    To give a static IP address to your printer:
    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On 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
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -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.
    -Click 'apply '.
    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that you remove and re - add the printer to your Mac.
