A USB wireless network adapter is a device that allows you to connect to a wireless network as is connected to a computer via a USB port.
How do you set up a home office wireless?
You need to get a good wireless router (use google to find out which one will suit your purposes). Also you need existing internet connection (DSL, RoadRunner and so on). After that you need to connect your router to the modem using the lan cable included with the router. Use WAN port to connect the wire between the router and the modem. After that set wireless security (read the manual for your router).
Some ISP use MAC of your computer to grant access to internet, you might have use the option "Clone your PC MAC" for your router if you want to connect to internet.
Most wireless routers also allow you to plug in 4 to 8 other Ethernet cables. It would not be a router otherwise, it would simply be a wireless access point. The cable connections are also faster than the wireless (at this point).
How do you hook a broadband linksys wireless router to your cable modem?
You'll probably need to plug the cable modem to the cable line. Then plug an ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port on the router. Then connect each of your computers (via ethernet cable) to the router.
Do you have to have a modem and a router?
A wireless router provides a wireless network, but does not provide Internet connectivity by itself, unless it is a combination router/modem, such as a Motorola Surfboard. A typical home wireless router will not have this functionality included, so a cable modem is often required to access a cable provider's Internet service. Buying a device that includes both wireless routing and cable modem features will allow the network to access the Internet without a dedicated cable modem, while all others will require a cable modem separately. In either case, a device that provides the features of a cable modem is required for cable Internet.
Convergence
Why dont routers forward broadcast?
The function of a router is to switch and filter packets, and to route traffic between different networks, thereby reducing the size of "collision zones". Broadcast zones are basically all that define a network. Therefore, if a router were to forward broadcasts, it would actually be joining the two networks together into one larger network, which, aside from security implications, would create a giant collision zone and reduce network performance.
What is the different between modem and router?
A modem is a device that allows a single computer to connect to the internet, it requires a username and password to connect usually. A router connects multiple computers and is always connected. It does NOT require a username or password to connect to the internet. Routers can also be wireless, whereas modems can not.
Can a wireless router plug into an Ethernet?
Yes, you can plug a wireless router in an ethernet. But don't forget to use the wireless router internet port when you are connecting to an ethernet.
Should the question not be "Can an ethernet cable plug into a wireless router?". If so, then yes it can. Usually there are a few ethernet ports on the back of your router. One bit of advice I would give is to watch out for the internet port. I have seen people, plug a client computer into the internet port, even though it clearly says internet above it. Though some routers arent this helpful by labelling each port, so just be careful what port you do plug the ethernet into.
Taking a different view of the question, I assumed you were asking if you could plug the wireless router into the wired network and use the same dsl or cable modem to get out. If that is the case, then the is still yes. But when you cable from your wired router to the wireless router, plug the cable in one of the (typically) 4 enet connections and NOT in the one marked Internet.
Also, verify that you have the DHCP in the wireless router turned OFF, so addresses are assigned from the wired router. There can be 1, and only 1, DHCP server on a segment. (Only one boss for this job).
"Better" depends on subject.
WiFi is definitely better in terms of mobility. One is not restricted to the confines of the area that and ethernet cable can reach.
On the other hand, wired can give much better speed and dependability than wireless. It also provides better security.
What is the average price range of wireless earphones?
The price of wireless headphones varies greatly depending on the brand of the headphones, the model and the retailer. Typically one would expect to pay at least $15 up to $100's for the top of the range model.
Where can one get a cheap wireless printer adapter?

How do I know if my wireless internet is secure?
Theres two ways you can tell. You can tell by logging into your router. Check the wireless settings and make sure security is enabled. Second way, if you have a 802.11g wireless adapter card installed onto your laptop/computer, you should see a wireless icon below the right-hand side of your computer screen. Right click on the icon if you have window vista, click "Connect to a network" If you have windows xp click "View available wireless networks" and you should see if your home network is secured.
Why is it important to isolate your wired and wireless networks?
It is important because you (the client) do not want all of your information to be eavesdropped upon by someone with malicious intent. This includes any sensitive information such as credit information, history, social security numbers, bank numbers, etc.

How do I log in to my Linksys router to begin setting it up?
If you are talking about the wifi password or WEB WPA or WPA2 then you should have gotten a slip of paper telling you the default (if not and you have a 2WIRE system then it should be on the side of the router)
If you are talking about the password on which you are trying to change sittings on the router then try looking on the router or tell it you forgot the password if that is an option.
How do you connect wireless network to wired lan network?
The short answer is, it depends. Many laptops come with a network port in the back or on the side that can be used to connect to a wired network. The port looks like a telephone jack except it has 8 pins instead of 4. If your laptop doesn't have a port, you can buy a network card that plugs into one of the card slots in the side. In either case you'll need a CAT5 or CAT6 standard network cable to connect the laptop to the network hub. Hope that helps. you can also install a wireless access point onto your network
How do you connect Nokia e5 with wifi?
On your Nokia E5 you'll have to list your preferred connections in a priority list.
MENU -- CONTROL PANEL -- SETTINGS -- CONNECTION -- DESTINATIONS -- INTERNET
You will find a list of all the wireless access points you've ever connected to, as well as the
Start deleting all the redundant WLANs (Options -- Delete), until you only see your home/office WLAN access point in that list as well as your GPRS/3G
Now place your WLAN access point as the first priority (Options -- Organise -- Change Priority)
Hooray! Now whenever you enter the range of your home/Office WLAN, your Nokia E5 will automatically switch to its highest priority connection and disconnect from the GPRS/3G and vice versa when you leave the WLAN range.
