Using the two connections of cable and wireless on a laptop Windows 7

I have a wireless router on my home network, which works very well.  Sometimes, I connect my laptop with a wired connection for faster speed during file transfer.  When I do that, I have 2 network connections: Wi - Fi and wireless.  Should I disconnects me wireless connection, or is it possible to have both connections at the same time?  Is it possible to configure Windows 7 to disconnect the wireless when it detects a wired connection?

Thank you.

It's OK to have two connections.  Windows automatically uses the one with the highest rated speed.

I don't know how to have it automatically disconnect one of them. Steve Winograd, most Microsoft Valuable Professional (desktop experience)

  • I wan to use connections cable and wireless with Windows 7.

    I use Windows 7. I have a wired ethernet connection, but also internal wireless.

    I want to be able to use both connections. I'm using VMware Workstation and it allows me to specify which adapter to use with the virtual machines. However, when Windows 7 detects there are two cables and wireless, it disables the wireless and automatically uses cable.

    How to use both?

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the reply. By the brand and model of the PC, I see that there is not a driver designed for Windows 7. Try installing the driver in compatibility mode. Is your problem with the virtual machines that you have running, the host computer, or both? If it's on the host computer and that you have installed the latest driver in compatibility mode for Windows 7, then it is probably a compatibility problem of driver/hardware that by default, this feature in Windows 7 works.

  • When I try to connect to my router wirelessly from my laptop and the room, he asks for my network key and I don't know what it is.

    my brother used to all our computer equipment set up and he died last year. Well when I moved and tried to get into my new place it will not allow me without a network/wpa key. I know that I am trying to connect to my router and not my neighbors because when I unplug it it's the only name that disappears from the list of wireless networks. How can I know what is the network key or even set up a new? I am a bit technologically with faculties weakened to get detailed instructions on how to help me would be appreciated, but any help would be great.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Since we do not know how your brother to set up the router, it would be better to start again just to make sure that your wireless network is secure. Reset the default router. This is usually done with the wired router (on) by pressing a small button on the back or the bottom of the router, now the button for about 30 seconds and then let go. You can find the manual on the router mftr's Web site. your router if you need it.

    Once you have reset the router to default, set up correctly:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to use the two counters to PXI-6280, to read and write at the same time?

    Hi all

    I try to use PXI-6280 counter to generate a command of step motor pulse train.  The idea is to send a number done and known pulse for the engine, which belongs to a system XYZ. The point is, if, at some point, the user or the security system can interrupt the movement. If this happens (and will be... a lot), I will lose the real position, because I don't know how many pulses were actually sent to the engine. That is why I want to use the other cost to count impulses how were actually sent to the engine. I can start any tasks (generating or account), but only the first started task will operate. I met a couple of mistakes and I'm not able to find a solution.

    Is it really possible to use the two counters? I've already done this in a pci system and worked without problems.

    Thanks in advance,

    I'm afraid that I don't understand your idea. Could explain you better?

    Material of the series M support pointing to an arbitrary digital signals at rates (the clock must be provided from another source, for example a counter).  If you want a digital pulse train finished output and have access to a counter (the two counters if find you another source for your clock, for example the subsystem "output frequency"), you must use this subsystem 'digital output' rather than the output of the counter.  There should be examples in the finder of the example shows how to configure a finished task of digital output.

    Now I'm generating sample clock having a single Timed material Point (the only mode accepts this mode), and configure the counter with finite samples.

    I don't think not just single point NI the hardware, that's what you want.  More commonly, output meter tasks use timing 'Implied', where the release date is implicitly determined by the characteristics of the pulse user-defined.

    Is there a way to stop the production of only one meter when a finite number of pulses has been played in another counter?

    Yes, but it's a little tricky.  You can set a trigger 'Pause' on the output task, with the soruce the break being the internal release of the counter used for the task of entry.  Set the initial value of the counter of entry to 2 ^ 32-N (or maybe 2 ^ 32-1-N, I don't have a system right now to check) where N is the desired number of pulse output.  Together the counter event behavior for the counter edges of County switch output (this is a property of DAQmx export Signal).  When the counter of entry reaches terminal, its in-house production switches, causing thus the task of output to pause.  You can then stop the task in the software (you should be able to use the output of the task of entry counter event to signal to the software when the output is paused).

    Now that I've written that the whole paragraph, I remember something * similar * to work around a limitation of the driver here .  It is not quite the same implementation I described above, but really, you can use a meter output or a counter entry to get the same effect (it could be a good place to start anyway if you want to try this).

    Is there a way to read pulses them how have been generated, without the other counter, counting impulses?
