Voting Question: How do I setup multiple wireless routers and connect them to a CAT5e plug instead of connecting it to a modem?

I am getting to the point where I am going to setup a network in my new house. I plan on having a Qwest dsl modem/router to bring in the internet connection and then connect a 16-port D-link wired switch to allow more computers and devices to connect to the internet. There is about 2 cat5e and 1 cat 6 outlet(s) in each room of the house. I also have setup a place to put a wireless router/switch in the hallway of the main floor and basement. Both locations have a cat 5e cable running to them. My question is how do I connect a wireless router/switch to the CAT5e plug in both hallways so that I don't have to connect the routers to the dsl modem. Basically I want to turn two lines running from the D-link 16-port wired switch and use them in a way to create a wireless network in separate areas of the house. I have seen something similar at some of the local schools. They have a cat 5 outlet in a hallway and they just plug it into their wireless router that sits on the wall and it creates a wireless network. Is there anyway to bridge both wireless routers to share the same password? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks for the answer Adrian. I only have a couple of questions concerning the setup that you described on another post. Will it work without having a static ip address. I only have dynamic. Also how will this setup work if the 16 port switch is in between the second router and the dsl modem. more

Resolved Question: How do I set up a file server at home?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to set up a server at home so that I can access my files from anywhere without paying for online storage. I've found a couple of tutorials out there, but they didn't seem to work for me. I'm fairly tech savvy, but can't seem to figure this out. So, I'm kind of dividing this up into a couple sub questions. Would it be easier to setup apache server from Windows, or to get ubuntu server edition? All I'm trying to do is access files for my own personal use. Here's the details about the relevant parts of my home network: Running the potential server from a cable internet connection. It's behind two routers and a modem. One router is running in client mode to bring net from the wireless router downstairs to the wired devices in my room (including the potential server). Cable internet is from Comcast, as is the router of course. The router which is directly connected to the cable modem is a belkin running stock firmware, the one in my room is a Linksys running DD-WRT firmware. (I don't know if that actually has any effect on it.) So, the question is this: can anyone tell me how to go about setting this up, or point me to an easy to follow tutorial? I've already signed up with DynDNS to overcome the lack of static IP. And I just need to do the rest of it. more

Voting Question: mother's laptop cannot keep/find my internet signal a few feet away but can detect the neighbors 100 ft away?

It's been a few months since I've had this problem. I have a netgear router(white) and a modem(black) one way i have the internet running through both of them is having an Ethernet cable from the pc connect to the router which is connected to another cable to the modem. They both have all green lights and occasionally when my mom's laptop connects to it we both have local and internet access. However I don't know why but even though the laptop is 3 feet away from the router it doesn't pick up the signal but the neighbors consistently show up. I have put a password WPA tkip to protect my connection from my neighbors but I don't know if tht's the problem. Btw the ssid is the same as the one i give to the laptop when trying to connect to it manually and the passphrase is the same one I used when login into the routers website to change the details. Oh since the laptop is a vista it has this connectivity doctor and it tells me the wireless lan is an issue because either the passphrase/ssid aren't the same or im too far away or too many devices are connected to the access point neither of which i suspect is the problem. Oh my lan is also disconnected but when i directly plug one of the cables running thru the devices inot the laptop we both have internet but what's the point of tht if I have to have cables? So,.... someone please tell me how I can restart this connection and step by step setup a consistent connection to my mom's laptop which will appear in the available networks like my neighbors? Oh and still maintain a WPA or WPA2 protection on it. Thank you for you're assistance I know this is a very involved question. more

Resolved Question: How can I use the CAT5 outlets in my home?

My family and I live in a new home that is wired for CAT5 throughout. Each bedroom has a jack with 2 coaxial outputs and 2 ethernet outlets. The living room has this as well. However, when I simply plug in an ethernet cable from the wall in my bedroom to my computer, it detects nothing. Our current network setup (through Comcast) is as follows: In the living room, out of one of those aforementioned jacks, comes 1 ethernet cable and 2 coaxial cables (one goes to the modem, the other to our DVR, and the ethernet also goes from the modem for phone). Out of the modem comes a connection to our Linksys router, which then emits wireless signal (painfully slow) throughout the house. The router has 4 outlets in the back, in addition to the internet-in port. After getting no signal from the first attempt I mentioned, I then hooked up an ethernet cable from one of the ports on the back of the router to the remaining empty ethernet port on the wall. When I came back to my room, still nothing. I've read around some sites that mention finding a "hub" of some sort? I can't seem to find this anywhere in the house. What am I missing here?

Resolved Question: Home Networking Questions?

I have a wireless Router connected to a modem that I use to connect to the internet. After moving to a new home, I have a realized that the wireless network is too far away form my other computers in the house, and I need to run ethernet wires to them. I am not exactly sure what the optimal setup would be. I am trying to achieve the highest internet speeds possible. My computer has the LAN Chipset Marvell 88E8056 and a Max LAN Speed of 10/100/1000Mbps. My best guess is to run a Category 5 e Patch cable from my router to the computer. The one I would buy is probably this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812601093. Is this my best option, or is there something better for around the same price? Also, that wire is supposed rated at 550 mhz. What does this mean, and is it correct? I thought only cat6 ethernet wires went that high. (Would buying a separate NIC be beneficial? I use my computer for gaming) Comcast is my ISP. How would I determine what my internet connection upload/download speeds are rated? (I have been told buying my own modem would be beneficial, as the Touchstone Telephony Modem [Arris Model TM602G/CT] limits my local internet Connection to 10 mbps. Is this true, even if my Upload/Download speeds are rated higher? If I bought my own, is it easy to setup, and would I notice a difference in internet speeds?) Thanks for all the help, NNJZ more

Voting Question: How to connect multiple TVs to cable and be able to record shows?

If I have multiple TVs that I want to connect to my cable, but do not want to run any coax, the best thing I can think of is to connect them via wireless or ethernet cables.

Resolved Question: Wireless N Network not reaching 300Mbps?

I have recently upgraded my 802.11g 54mbps Router to a Netgear WNR3500 802.11n 300mbps router. My setup is as follows: Gaming PC + Media Centre PC + Playstation 3 are connected wired at 1.0Gbps via built-in gigabit switch I have 2 laptops connected wireless, one runs at 54Mbps(it has built in 802.11g) and another which runs at 144Mbps(it has 802.11n built in), why is the latter only working at 144Mbps even thought the router is set to 300Mbps and both are N Draft 2.0 compatible? I've tried the laptop next to the router and the far side of the house and signal strength remains 5/5 bar and 144Mbps? I've heard I need to enable something called Channel Bonding to enable the laptop to connect at full speed, but this may stop the slower 802.11g laptop connecting? How do i get it to work at 300mbps? Do I need to enable this channel bonding and would that prevent the other laptop connecting reliably? Thanks more

Voting Question: How can I share a printer between a XP desktop and a windows 7 laptop?

I just got a new laptop with windows 7 and I am trying to get it to share the printer that is on my XP desktop. I have tried many solutions I have found online but none have worked so far. So I think perhaps I am missing something simple. Both computers are connected to the internet via the same modem, the XP desktop is connected via wire and the laptop via wireless internet. I was able to transfer songs from my main XP desktop to the laptop via iTunes, so i know they are communicating, However when i check the network on the win7 machine the XP one does not appear, and when i check the network on the XP machine the win7 laptop does not appear. Some of the things I have tried: *Use XP's network setup wizard. *Make sure both computers have the same work group name. *Disable firewalls. *Make sure the printer (which is on the XP machine) has sharing enabled. My issue seems to mainly be that both computers don't see each other. Once they see each other perhaps actually sharing the printer wont be that hard. Additional details: *The desktop has XP with service pack 3. *My modem is a Thomson 585v7. more

Resolved Question: How can I set up a wireless internet connection?

I have a Gigaset SE567 router/modem that's supposed to run a wireless connection. I have my PC hooked up to it through an ethernet cable, and it works fine, but I'm also trying to hook up my laptop, which runs on Vista, to the internet through the same router/modem. How do I do it? It worked fine a long time ago, then it stopped working for some reason. I have tried setting up a wireless network using my PC. It tells me I have to either put the setup information on a USB stick and plug it into my wireless access point, and then my laptop, or enter the codes manually. The laptop I understand, but how can I plug it into my router/modem, it has no USB port! I also do not understand how to enter the codes manually, because I have no way of entering information into my router/modem! I am very confused. The laptop does not show the network I set up, but it shows other networks, and it works with other networks fine. All I did was I followed the instructions to make a wireless network, but I skipped the step to shove the USB into the wireless access point, as that is impossible. Wtf am I supposed to do? more
