Will adding a second wireless n router to a network increase the signal?
If you put your second router next to the first one, the answer is no. You can put the second router in another part of building and create so called bridge which allows to increase coverage.
How do you connect your router to an existing network if I have say an open network and I want my own private off shoot How do I make a WIFI network using an existing network wirelessly?
You have couple of choices. First is to connect your router to existing network using a cable. And then configure secured wireless network using your router settings. Second is to connect using Bridge configuration. You might run in problems with Bridge due to compatibility issues. You even will have change firmware to DD-WRT (if your router is compatible). Once you set Bridge then you go to router settings and configure secured wireless. And here you might run in problems too because you are basically extending non-secured network in a secured. A lot of routers will not allow you to do that.
Can you add a wired router to an existing home network that has a wired router?
Yes you can, as long as the second router is only used to segment the networks, using the same IP address range. The only advantage you got is less overlad of broadcast messages on the network. In theorie it is possible to supply another IP range to the divided network, and use Network Address Translation (NAT) to forward packages from one network over the other to the internet. However, in practise this is almost impossible to achieve, even with professional routers.
When is it appropriate to apply a router to computer network?
First, you must understand the reasons that you would add a router to your network. The main reason is security. A router can add IP masking, as well as better firewall protection. This security is applied over all the computers connected to the network. Second, the ability to add more that just one computer to your network. Especially if you don't use a modem, a router can multiply your speed and efficiency when adding more computers. Third, wireless connectivity. If you get a router, make sure you get one with wireless capability. This way you can use a special adapter (included on most laptops) to connect to your network from rooms away, without wires. This is still very fast and secure, as long as you password protect your home network. So it is appropriate to add a router if you are concerned about security, you want to add multiple computers to your network, or if you need the ability to connect to your network wirelessly.
How do you connect 2 switch with one router?
I'd say: just plug it in! Routers are to be placed between the modem (cable modem or ISDN or something alike) and the LAN (in other words the switch, which opens up the LAN). All users connect to the internet or another system via the router which will be the default gateway for the LAN. Switchs do not have a special port for routers. It doesn't matter which port you use. Everything else will be configured by the network settings on the router and the clients within the network. (In order to configure the router you might want to use a crossed patch cable and connect directly from your workstation to the router. Modern router provide a homepage through which you configure the device. By using the crossed cable you can be certain not to interrupt the normal network)
How do you connect a second computer to a wireless g router?
Use the wireless adapter properties to locate your wireless network ("List of available networks"), then double click on your network, enter the phrase if you have to, and you are ready to roll.
Can a DEVOLO dLAN duo HomePlug Adaptor be part used with a router?
Absolutely, by connecting the router to the Devolo dLAN using an ethernet cable you are at the first stage of setting up a powerline network. Once you have plugged in a second dLAN device and connected it to the equipment you want to network with you are ready to rock and roll.
What is the maximum number of users per router?
Routers don't have a fixed maximum number of users. However, something in the router might get saturated, especially if there is a lot of network or Internet traffic. The details vary, depending on the type of router; high-end routers (which may cost half a million dollars or more) might be designed to transport a terabit per second of network traffic, or even more.
Yes, this will connect a computer to a second port on your modem/router?
Yes, this will connect a computer to a second port on your modem/router
What is the network name for the wii?
The wii itselfdoes not have its own network name. The network name (also abbreviated SSID) is the name of the network all of your devices that use Internet are connected to. If you have to ask this question then I assume that your problem is that you don't know the name of your network or you're not receiving your router's signal. To find the network name you'll need to go to your router's settings and find the name. I suggest renaming or memorizing the network name so you know it is your own network. Call your router's company if you have any trouble or don't know where to start. In addition to the network name, you may also need a password (WEP, WPA, etc). If your network has a password, you will need both the network name and the password to connect the wii or any other wireless devices to your network. If you don't see the name of your network then you'll either have to buy a wireless router since some routers do not broadcast network signals (most cable routers and some DSL routers do broadcast). However, I recommend you do what is described in the second paragraph first, since it is most likely that you just don't know the name of your network.
How do you configure 2 laptops and a desktop with a wireless router?
You don't have wireless network cards you have to buy it or you have to get a lan cable(s). After that connect your router to the modem if you have it. And connect all your computers to the router. Usually default settings allow you to work with internet and inside network without any correction of default settings. After that restart your modem (if you have it) and restart your router. Then Start->Run->cmd, press enter. ping (one of your computer's Ips), for instance, ping 192.168.1.3 If it doesn't work out you have to configure DHCP server for your router, but it's already another question.
How do you daisy chain routers?
Routers perform DHCP, which means the router acts as the "owner" of the network. If a router set it's own IP address to 192.168.1.1, then it will likely assign IPs to computers connected to it in the 192.168.1.x range. If you plug another router into your first router, the second router might have the IP 192.168.2.1, and then assign IPs in the 192.168.2.x range. This is what you want to avoid. Having all your computers on the same 192.168.x network is necessary. You essentially want to use your second router as a switch. To do this, disable DHCP in the routers admin UI. Then, instead of plugging the source cable (coming from your first router) in the "Uplink" port, plug it into one of the regular 1, 2, 3, 4 etc ports. This will enable your router to pass along IPs from your main router, rather than assign it's own. Plug other devices into 2, 3, 4, etc. You've essentially bridged your routers.
