Depends on what device you are setting up. LAN is your local area network (note the initials). WLAN is the WIDE network outside of your LAN. Usually you don't need to change WLAN settings unless you are configuring a router. In that case, read the fine manual!

How do connect a Canon MX870 all-in-one printer to a MacBook Pro?

You just set the printer up just like you would another computer or other networking device.

If using Wireless make sure the printer has the network SSID (the name of your network), the encryption (WPA-2) and the correct password. Set the DHCP (IPv4) to auto and it should receive the IP address.

Try going to Canons support site and make sure you have the latest drivers and if you don't have the manual then download the manual for free.

How do you get a network key?

The network key is basically the password of the network your trying to connect to. Ask the owner of the network for the password or make sure your typing it exactly like you were told.

Basically you only need two things to connect to a network, the SSID, the name of the network (JohnsHouse, Motel6, etc, for example) and the password or KEY. (you would get the password from the owner of the network, either John or the desk person at the Motel 6.)

Well, I guess you would need 3 things, you also need to have the same encryption that the network is using also, WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc, they have to match.

What can interfere with a WiFi signal?

How can I connect my laptop to a wireless router?

There are two ways to connect your laptop to a router, wired and wireless. If your laptop is fairly new, it will likely support both types of connections.

The easiest way to connect your laptop is wired. If your router is in the same room as your laptop, or if your router doesn't have wireless functionality, then you should wire it. Just get a standard ethernet cable, with the length depending on how far you have to connect it.

However, if you want to be able to walk around your house or even go outside without cables holding you back, set up a wireless connection, if your laptop and router support it. You have to use network connections to connect to an available network, which you will have to set up using software that comes with your router. Once you are connected, you can go anywhere and receive internet as long as you are still in range of your router. Getting a more powerful router will increase your range.

Where can you download Bluetooth for PC?

Bluetooth isn't really something that can be downloaded; it requires a special piece of hardware. Windows XP and later include a Bluetooth stack, so if you purchase a Bluetooth adapter, you should be able to use it out of the box.

Is it safe for a modem and wireless router to be set-up in the baby's room?

There is no experimental evidence that routers cause any harm. Modem is safe for sure because it transports all signals through cable. With router it's more complicated. If you want to be on safe side do not put router in the baby's room (just in case).

You cant find your password for your wireless router?

If you know you haven't changed the password from the original one (SHAME ON YOU) then it should be in the manual somewhere. If you DID change the password then the only way would be to Hard Reset the router. It puts everything back to the default settings and changes the password and log in name back also. You still need to know what the default names were. If you don't have the manual then go the company's web site and go to the support area and look for your model, it will tell you how to do all that and have a digital copy of your manual you can download.

Is it legal to connect to an unsecured network?

Provided they don't have a firewall to block you out of their network, yes. Anytime someone has a wireless network in their house, it extends farther than the house usually. You could theoretically drive coast to coast, and hardly ever loose a wireless network to tap into.

Also, If they have a security-enabled network, you will need to type in a password to get into the internet. Most people have a security-enabled network, because who wants someone else gettting on internet they are paying for? I have a security-enabled network. It works great! And you can see who is on your wirless router and you can kick them off any time!! That is what I like about secuity-enabled networks! Well, bottom line, you can get on someone else's internet, but you will be promted to type in a password, unless they have an unsecured network!

How do you reset your wireless gateway modem?

To reset a cable modem, unplug the power cable for a few moments and plug it back in. If there is a "standby" button on the modem you may need to hit this after plugging it back in, if there is only one light showing for several seconds. Some modems will also have a depressed RESET button that you can push with the help of an unraveled paper clip or ballpoint pen. Hold this button in for 5-10 seconds. This is more frequently found on VOIP or Telephony capable cable modems (these often contain batteries that hold power for hours while the modem is unplugged).

After resetting the modem it is good practice to do the same with a router (if you have one connected) and as well restarting your computer to receive new IP address information and lease.
