How can you connect a computer wirelessly to a non-wireless modem?
You need to have a wireless router compatible with your wireless adapter and LAN cable of CAT-5 at least. Use the cable to connect the modem and the router, use WAN port of the router. After that configure the router for your needs. And you are ready to go.
What is bandwidth of lan and wan and man?
It depends on the media, topology of the networks. You could go from 10 Mbps on a LAN to 50 or more Gbps on a WAN depending on the technology.
How do you establish lan to lan connection?
The traffic has to go through a router to connect one network to another.
What is the difference between WAN and LAN?
The other difference between LAN and WAN, is the speed of the network. The maximum speed of a LAN can be 1000 megabits per second, while the speed of a WAN can go up to 150 megabits per second. This means the speed of a WAN, is one-tenth of the speed of a LAN. A WAN is usually slower because it has lower bandwidth. Computers in a LAN can share a printer, if they are all in the same LAN. On the other hand, a WAN cannot share a printer, so a computer in one country cannot use a printer in another country. A LAN does not need a dedicated computer to direct traffic to and from the Internet, unlike a WAN that needs a special-purpose computer, whose only purpose is to send and receive data from the Internet. Another LAN vs. WAN comparison is the cost of the network. A WAN is more expensive than a LAN. It is easier to expand a LAN than a WAN. The equipment needed for a LAN is a network interface card (NIC), a switch and a hub. On the other hand, the equipment needed to connect a WAN to the Internet is a modem and a router. The modem may be a cable modem or a DSL modem that is connected to a wall jack, while the router should be configured so that it can handle the packets traveling between the WAN and the Internet. In LAN vs. WAN, there is a difference in the networking standard used. A LAN uses the Ethernet standard, while a WAN uses the T1 standard. Before Ethernet, the protocols used for LAN were Attached Resource Computer Network (ARCNET) and Token Ring. The protocols used for WAN are Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Another protocol for WAN is Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS), where SONET stands for Synchronous Optical Networking and SDH stands for Synchronous Digital Hierarchy. The first WAN protocol was X.25, while an advanced WAN protocol is Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). The hardware in a LAN is connected with 10Base-T cable connectors, while a WAN is connected via leased lines or satellites. Here is an explanation of LANs and WANs. A LAN is easy to set up, as you need to slip the NIC into the PCI slot (for desktop computers) or PCMCIA slot (for laptop computers). You also need to install the driver for the NIC. The NIC can be connected to the network using the RJ45 port. On the other hand, a WAN is very difficult to set up. There is often an appliance to optimize the WAN. There is also a device to cache WAN data, so workers in the branch office can quickly access documents. The router also has Quality of Service (QoS) built in, so that it gives priority to certain kinds of traffic. There are various topologies available in LAN and WAN networking. The most common topologies in LAN and WAN networks are ring and star. The ring topology is a network in which every node (every computer) is connected to exactly two other nodes. The star topology is a network in which all the nodes (called leaf nodes or peripheral nodes) are connected to a central node.
What does a router does in a LAN OR WAN environment?
It decides where data should go on a network. Imagine a company's network. One user sends an email to someone else. Their computer sends the email to the router, which then sends it out to the mail server. The mail server then sends out a message to the other user's computer telling them that they have received an email. The router picks this up and sends it in the correct direction.
What is the difference between port filtering and port forwarding?
There is no difference between port mapping and port forwarding and both are equal and in some router they are used instead of the other one . The meaning of these names is that "New connections from the outside to a certain port or port range go to a designated LAN machine. The ports are determined by the kind of server you want to run, (e.g. 80 for a web server) and the IP is the private LAN IP of your web server."
How to set up broadband with only one Ethernet on laptop?
You only need one ethernet connection on the laptop for DSL. If you need to connect to other computers on an ethernet network then you can buy a 4 or 8 port Wireless/Lan router. Plug the Broadband box into the router, laptop into the router. And if you need more connections then you can buy a 4, 8 or 16 port ethernet switch and plug the router into that and then plug the other computers into the switch and there you go.
How do you install router?
First , you just connect to the ethernet on your modem. Then connect your pc to the LAN on the router. Then you are good to go. If you have a disk with it , Then you must install with that disk
Is LAN related to hotspots in wi fi and it is true that LAN is sharing data between computers within a narrow boundary like a restaurant and WAN is world wide or with a broader boundary?
A LAN(local area network) and WAN(wide area network). Yes, the difference is the geography of the network. exp. If you have a network in a room that's a LAN now if you want to connect to a building down the street you cant run a network cable down the road you have to go through a ISP(internet service provider) that would be considered a WAN.
How do you block a website with Beetel router?
You will open the router on a webpage and input your information. Go to the Advanced tab and then go to Port. You can then create a user rule to block a website.
Can you port forward terraria without a router?
Not sure. Google it or go on the PortForward Forums.
Can you share your internet connection with a wireless router if you have a broadband internet card in your computer?
sure plug a crossover cable into the ethernet port on your computer, other end goes into the WAN port on your wireless router go to your network settings on the computer, right click on your local area network click share, then right click and bridge connection, choose your card and your local area connection Thank You Kris - http://cssraven.com
