Best Answer

Yes. However, their role in interconnecting your home network needs to be defined in order to correctly deploy them. Each wireless router has a unique MAC address (Media Access Control) that differentiates it from every other network interface device, so at the network level accidental conflicts are highly unlikely. Additionally, you need to select an SSID (Service Set Identifier) for your wireless router, which further differentiates it from other routers in the house, in the apartment next door, etc.

While you can have many wireless routers in any given area (inside your apartment building, or even in your own house), an important point is where each router will be connected to the "upstream" network connection, presumably eventually reaching the internet. These points should be understood and defined prior to deploying multiple routers in any given location.

Is KisMac Legal?

Kismac is just a Wireless network discovery tool for the Mac OSX. It just searches for Wireless Networks. It is mainly for developed for network security professionals. Kismac is also considered to be one of the best MAC OSX though the wireless drivers that are provided with Kismac are not the best to be used with Apple Airport and it is also evident that the Kismac is not able to find the Airport card after it has run the Mac using the Airport drivers available in the Active mode. If you don't know how to operate with Kismac refer the link in sources. As far as the question of Legality comes in, Kismac is legal as its just a small utility used for finding wireless networks and not intruding the networks by breaching any rules.


How do you add wireless networks to wireless keyview?

Wireless keyview, as I understand, is a freeware programme/simple tool that recovers all wireless network keys (WEP/WPA) stored in your computer by the 'Wireless Zero Configuration' service of Windows XP. If your Wireless network has not been registered on that particular PC, then no key is stored. You can't just add a wireless network to the programme. Whichever PC you've had connected to the wireless modem/router will be the one that has the network passkey stored on it. I suggest you install the programme on that PC and run it (as an administrator). It should then "add" the wireless network and reveal the forgotten passkey.


Do wired networks have faster transmission speeds than wireless networks?

Short answer: Wired networks are typically faster than wireless networks. Taking factors into consideration such as reception and interference, wired networks are almost always faster than wireless networks. It should be noted that in almost all situations, either will be fast enough for your needs: when dealing with the internet, it is your connection to the world (DSL, Cable, Dialup) that provides the chokepoint. A faster local network will not speed up the time that it takes to load web pages or download files from the internet. Wired Networks: 1Gbps networks are faster than any standard wireless networks to date (6/3/2009). However, they aren't all that common outside of a corporate setting, as they are expensive. Most computers today only have 10/100Mbps wired network cards, and almost always run at 100Mbps. They are also considered more reliable and easier to work with from a user standpoint (though running cable everywhere can be a headache), making them perfect for company use or people requiring high bandwidth from their local network such as a LAN party for video games. Wireless Networks: A newer technology called Wireless-N is actually slightly faster than the standard 100Mbps wired connection. Many new computers in the past year or two have come with the hardware needed to connect to a Wireless-N network. They often connect at speeds of around 130Mbps (which is not that much of an improvement over the wired 100Mbps), but are capable of doing 300Mbps if placed into a mode which can be very flaky as well as disruptive to nearby wireless networks. Wireless-G networks, the standard that most people think of when they think "wireless", can only reach 54Mbps. It should be noted that although the Wireless-N connection claims higher speeds, wireless networks do not always perform at their advertised rate. If signal strength is poor, it will actually slow down to improve the success rate of the communications. To understand this concept, imagine speaking to someone who is hard of hearing without being able to raise your voice: you would speak slowly so they could understand. Wired communication doesn't suffer such problems, as wires are less susceptible to interference and CAT-5 cabling, typical on wired networks, is specially designed to defeat interference. If you are trying to decide which network is right for you, each offers benefits. Wired networks supply speed and reliability and avoid many headaches of wireless networks: connection requires that you be able to physically attach to the network, preventing neighbors from stealing your internet and eliminating the passwords necessary for wireless networks. Wireless networks provide convenience, typically to owners of laptop computers, but especially to people who will have guests/friends over who will be bringing a laptop, and eliminate the need for wires running everywhere.

You can purchase the xbox wireless adaptor if you have a wireless network in your house. It will set you back $100 though. Otherwise break out the drill and run some cable.


How can you get windows x p to manage wireless connections?

This depends on the wireless card vendor, but for Linksys, right-clicking on the green wireless icon in the notification area will give you the option to use Windows to manage the wireless connection.If that does not work, you can jump straight to the Network Connections panel by clicking Start -> Run (or just Start in Vista) and typing in ncpa.cpl . Hit and you'll open the Network Connections window.Locate your Wireless Network Connection, then right-click and hit Properties.Click on the [Wireless Networks] tab at the top.The very first option is "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings."

NetworkingYes you can but it would be simplar and more effectiant to have both using wireless, it is more effectient. Now both would have to a wireless nic card. If you decide to just run the labtop on wireless you will have to have a wireless router and a DSL router to run them off diffrent Network configurations.
