Creating A Wireless Router Bridge?
A wireless router bridge is a way to use an old or unneeded wireless router to extend the usable range of a central Internet access point. This can be done by connecting an older router to a functioning router and then either changing the wireless mode of the router to bridge, or by changing the firmware inside of the router so it can support bridging. The end result is a wireless router that will pick up the signal from an access point and provide Internet access to any computer that uses the wireless router bridge.
What is a 'wireless extender' - it is some sort of plug which is plugged into the wall but not into anything else on the other end. What does it do?
A wireless extender or more commonly a wireless range extender is a device that increases the range of the wireless network supplied by the wireless router or wireless access point (WAP). It is used by first configuring it to connect to the router/WAP's wireless signal and then it is placed in an appropriate area to help reach parts of the office or home environment in which the signal is too weak prior to deployment of said extender. The best place to set up a range extender is where the signal from the router/WAP is still fairly strong. Typically a signal that is still detected as three out of five bars is fine. Weaker than that and the quality of connection for the remote wireless workstation will not be of acceptable quality to provide decent service.To answer the other part of your question, you are correct. The extender does not need to be plugged into anything other than power. It works with the wireless network over the airwaves just like any wireless device would.If you have any other questions about wireless networking or networking in general, feel free to drop me a line.
Using A Wireless Network Adapter ?
A wireless network adapter is designed to allow a computer to access the Internet without an Ethernet cable. Of course, laptops already feature wireless capabilities these days. However, older laptops and most desktops do not connect without wires. Operating a computer that cannot access the Web is fairly frustrating. A wireless adapter luckily allows any compatible device to access the Internet though. Without a doubt, an individual needs to find an adapter that comes with a long range and quick connectivity. Price also comes into play, but plenty of affordable options are available. There is no reason a person needs to spend a fortune on a wireless network adapter. In the end, these adapters often prove useful under various circumstances.
How can I install a wireless bridge?
A wireless bridge is a device that creates a network. Devices that connect to the bridge can communicate with each other. For example, a wireless- equipped desktop computer could communicate with and print to a wireless network printer if they were connected to the same wireless bridge. Bridges can also connect to devices such as routers that provide high-speed Internet access from an Internet Service Provider, or ISP. You can set up a wireless bridge to connect to a router so that the wireless computers connected to the bridge can share the high-speed Internet access and communicate with each other.Instructions Things You'll Need:• Power adapter that shipped with bridge• Ethernet cable• Device product CDStep 1Power up the bridge. Plug one end of the AC power adapter with which the device shipped into the power jack on the bridge and the other into an electrical wall outlet. If the device can function as both a bridge and an access point, set the device to "bridge" mode following the manufacturer's instructions. Press the device's power button if necessary; instructions for finding it will be provided in the device's user guide. For example, the D-Link DAP-1522 Xtreme N Duo Wireless Bridge does not have a power button and starts when it is plugged into the electrical wall outlet.Step 2Connect via Ethernet. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the bridge. Ethernet ports are generally placed on the back of the bridge. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the computer that had previously been connected directly to your Internet access device.Step 3Configure the bridge. Open a web browser and navigate to the address for the bridge's configuration management interface. The address will vary depending on the manufacturer. For example, to configure a D-Link DAP- 1522, type http://DLINKAP in the browser's address bar.Step 4Enter a user name and password to access the bridge's management interface when prompted. Both will be provided in the device's user guide. The default user name for the DAP-1522 is admin and, also by default, there is no password; leave the password text box blank.Step 5Start the connection wizard. The main page of the bridge's management interface will generally have an automated connection process. For a D- Link DAP-1522, click the "Launch Wireless Setup Wizard" button. Follow the prompts. Insert the product CD if prompted. Close the wizard when it finishes.Step 6Move the device to its permanent location. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your computer and unplug the bridge's power adapter from the electrical wall outlet. Place the bridge close to your high-speed Internet access device. Plug the power adapter from the bridge into an electrical wall outlet. Plug the Ethernet cable from the bridge into the designated Ethernet port on your Internet access device as directed in device's user guide. This completes the process.

What do you mean by wi-fi connection?
A wi-fi connection is a wireless connection. Imagine a regular modem, which is connected by a wire to the phone point at one end, and the PC at the other. Wi-fi is when this setup is wireless, the router is still wired to the phone point, but it gives off a signal to which other devices can connect to. A PC can connect to this using a receiving device, and a Nintendo DS can connect to it too. That is an example of a wi-fi internet connection.
What if I already have a device that is not integrated into my computer?
If you are trying to access a wireless access point at your school, then you can use the wireless card that is integrated in your computer if you have one. Otherwise, you may need to buy a dongle, or hook it up via an ethernet cable. Computers tend to have different personalities, and you need to pick one out yourself that will complement your style of work. If you do a lot of typing, you may invest in a computer with a very good keyboard. If you are doing math or accounting work, you should invest in a computer with a numpad on it. If you are running high-CPU using programs, you may want a higher end processor. It all runs down to what you are going to use it for.
