Check the wireless network properties, one of settings is security for wireless networks. If you want a definite answer you need to show your router's model.
There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.
A Wireless N router simply uses different types of Hardware, the exact piece is called a N Connector. This allows for the router to not only put out a wireless signal, but it also allows for the router to receive wireless signal. This works great for computers that cannot pick up wireless signals normally.
Check security setting for wireless network in your router settings. Some routers allow to see the key, some mask it with asterisks. If your router masks the key (in router settings), you have to put a new key, if you want to connect more computers.
It depends on the kind of router you have. If you have a westell, it would tell you when you put in 192.168.1.254 as your URL. Linksys routers dont tell you but, you could put security on the router so only your household can acess it. I say Wep is best as a security. For any other kind of router, type in 192.168.1.1 in the Url. admin is the default password. Hope this helps.
get a wireless router,click on settings,click on wi-fi,select a router name.
you need to buy a wireless wi fi router.
for sure
You need to make sure that your wireless adapter supports the security. Check if the network requires WPA2, if does and you cannot connect to it, it means your adapter can't work with and the router has to configured to work with first generation of WPA.
Type 192.168.1.1 into your webbrowser (that's linksys default address) Go to the wireless section Then security Pick wpa (don't pick wep - Your neighbour will hack this in a few minutes) Enter a password Save changes The router will restart itself ----- When your there, if its not too technical for you, you should look into MAC filtering, again its not foolproof - but every bit of security enforced, makes it that bit harder for a hacker.
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.
you need to get a wireless router and get it plugged in. I too have a dsi and used to wonder the same thing. :)
Find your router in network list and connect to your router. You might need to put proper settings in your router for DHCP server and wlan connection.
