How do you connect a wireless router to a hub?

All you have to do is run a CAT-5 cable from one of the ports on your wirless router to the Uplink on your HUB....also keep in mind that when you plug something into the uplink port sometimes there is another port that you MUST LEAVE OPEN in order for the hub to work properly....to find out if this is the case look up the router on the manufacturer's website....and if you don't know what model it is or you're having trouble finding out the manufacturer usually you can find a sticker on the hub that has a combination of letters and/or numbers....take one of them at a time and google them....usually at least one of the numbers will let you know what company makes it and you can go from there

Why Use RJ45 interface in LAN network?

The simple answer is that there aren't enough wires; RJ11 has 4 wires, and RJ-45 uses 8 wires. In addition, the RJ11 wire is not twisted, so there is a problem with crosstalk.

Assume that passwords are selected from four character combinations of 26 alphabetic characters.what is total population of attempt to find correct password.?

Assuming that the characters are repeatable, that is AAAA is acceptable, there are 26 to the fourth power possibilities or 456,976 possibilities. If they are not repeatable, there are 358,800 possibilities.

What are the advantages of peer-to-peer networking?

An important goal in peer-to-peer networks is that all clients provide resources, including bandwidth, storage space, and computing power. Thus, as nodes arrive and demand on the system increases, the total capacity of the system also increases. This is not true of a client-server architecture with a fixed set of servers, in which adding more clients could mean slower data transfer for all users. The distributed nature of peer-to-peer networks also increases robustness in case of failures by replicating data over multiple peers, and -- in pure P2P systems -- by enabling peers to find the data without relying on a centralized index server. In the latter case, there is no single point of failure in the system. When the term peer-to-peer was used to describe the Napster network, it implied that the peer protocol was important, but, in reality, the great achievement of Napster was the empowerment of the peers (i.e., the fringes of the network) in association with a central index, which made it fast and efficient to locate available content. The peer protocol was just a common way to achieve this.

How many characters in a 256bit wep key?

How is it possible to boost a wifi signal?

There are many ways to boost wifi signal. Try hanging a router from the wall or placing in the center of the room. You could also try investing in an antennae.

I bought a signal booster from cellphonesignalbooster.us and it made my wi-fi catch full signals.

What it basically does is that its powerful antenna catches signal and passes it to phone booster which amplifies it.

What do you need to be able print from a wireless network?

There are two options. First, you connect the printer to a computer which has a wireless connection and share the printer for network users. Second, if your wireless router supports Print server, you can connect the printer directly to the router and configure print server options in order to get access to the printer through wireless network.

Will you get viruses or will people know your accounts and everything if you connect to a enable secure wireless network that is around your neighbourhood?

If the network has WAP encryption, it takes about hour maybe two to hack the network and then if you are using your computer about couple hours you get your passwords. The only exception is bank websites which are using secured connections even in open (not secured) networks.
If the network is using WPA-PSK it takes much more time to get the keys. But it's still doable.
WPA-PSK2 with AES will give one of the best protections so far.

If you are using encrypted VPN connection you do not need to worry about such things.

Do you need a modem or can you just use a router for the computer?

A router is used for connecting multiple computers to a single connection, but it doesn't provide the actual connection. You still need a cable modem or a DSL modem to connect to the router to provide the connection to the internet. Usually on the back of the router there is one port marked internet or uplink that you'll need to connect to the modem you get.

Which cable is used to connect a switch to a server?

Firstly, is your server assigning IP Addresses, or do you already have a router or something. All you really need to hook a switch up to anything is a patch cable. If this is just a file server, acting as a client on a peer to peer network, you just need to make sure every computer on the network is getting an IP and are on the same subnet and workgroup.

What are the types of built in wireless network connections?

What is the difference between a wireless LAN and a wireless G card?

N is faster and has a longer range (if you live in a multi-story home or apartment it is amazing). G is, of course, cheaper. If you are wondering, don't worry about the fact that the N standard isn't finalized yet. Most devices conform to the draft standard. Any change from the current standard will be minimal at this stage in the process and will most likely only require a firmware update if the final standard does in fact change... The extra cost for wireless-N makes sense if you need the improved range due to a large home or multiple walls between the computer and the base station. If you need to transfer files between other computers or stream music within your local network (you have a media center PC and want to stream music/video) you will benefit from the faster speed of wireless-N You won't get any extra speed boost from N if you are the only computer on your network and you are relatively close to the base station. Remember, even with an 8 Meg cable modem, the bandwidth of 54Meg wireless-G is more than sufficient.

How can i access internet from my ipod touch if i don't have 4g?

You can't. WiFi is the only way for iPod touch to get internet. However, there are ways around this. Starbucks and McDonalds both offer free wireless Internet in the building, but if you don't live near one, and don't have wireless in your home, you can get Internet tethering from another phone. However, you would have to be within 30 or so feet of the phone at all times, it's really expensive, and there is limited data. So, you're much better off finding a wireless Internet provider like AT&T or Time Warner ... or just stealing your neighbors wifi ;)

How can one setup a home wireless security system?

Anyway you can install it manually as well, first you need to buy all of security component such as the main board, security camera, light, sensor etc.

First step is to install and set up main control board which is handle all the signal from camera, light, and sensor.

Then you will place motion sensor on doors, windows and any other necessary spot in your home, make sure it installed properly and consult with expert would be better idea.

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.

What if my router does not have an WPS button?
