Wireless Networking and WiFi

In the wireless properties choose "compatibility mode for G" or something like that. If you do so your router will allow both types of wireless cards G and N.

Yes, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n UPnP technology :)

To set a password on virtually any wireless router you can do the following: First, go to "Start" and "Run." Type in "cmd" without the quotes. When the Command Prompt comes up type in the following, without quotes: "ipconfig" Locate the box that says "IP Address" and remember that number. Go to your default internet browser and type in that number. (Note: If it does not work, when typing the "IP Address" in the internet browser, type the following, without quotes: "192.168.1.1" or "10.1.1.1") If a box comes up asking for the login and password, it is probably either blank or of the following: Username: admin Password: admin or Password: admin Now go to "Advanced Setup." Click on "WEP" and select "Enable" and choose either 64 bit or 128 bit encryption. Click the box called "Passphrase" and type in what you want the password to be. Click "Save Settings." Click on "WEP" again and remember what Key 1 is. (Note: This is important.) Now you can set all users to this.

Some ISP companies will lease you a wi-fi router and those will be included in your monthly bill. However you can go and buy one yourself and connect it to their modem. You own it and paid for it once and cannot be billed again.

To have your router get a better signal, try placing it an a open area, like a loft area or a living room. Most homes nowadays have loft areas where most people place their entertainment center, computer desk etc.

Mobile ad hoc networks refer to the networks that cellphones and other mobile devices are connected to. Laptops and computers may also connect to such networks by means of tethering to a mobile device.

Depending on the carrier of said mobile phone, one comparison is the technology. Most WiFi connective phones have 3G or 3rd Generation technology which thus far is the best. This enables(depending on reliability of the carrier) the user to perform web browsing and downloads with relative ease and speed.

The IEEE 801.11 standards describe the specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. The main 802.11 standards currently in effect are:

802.11

802.11a

802.11b

802.11g

802.11n

The Bluetooth protocol, which is also wireless is a proprietary protocol and not governed by IEEE.

Yeah, knock on there door and ask them for the password.

how does each device work? what are the advantages of each? 1.switch 2.hub 3.bridge

I get my neighboors 802.11b wi-fi as one-bar signal strength, 25 feet across my backyard. So the range is prolly about 25-35 feet. (We have huge oaks Trees in the way that block signals)

Yes, it's possible. Connect both printers to a computer which has wireless or lan connection with the router and activate sharing in the printers' properties. If printers have its own network interface, make sure that network properties are configured properly.

This question can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" but that wouldn't do it justice.

For all intents and purposes, yes, you need a Wireless router for a home wireless network. In industry, however, there are many solutions that do not involve an actual router, but instead a wireless bridge.

In residential environments, a wireless router is actually a whole slew of network devices wrapped into a single plastic box. These devices include a wireless access point (which is essentially a specialized RF radio), a switch which handles internal traffic, and a router which deals with traffic from the internet going to your internal network and vice versa.

In industry, the access points that you may see are simply that: the wireless access points. They are specialized to just broadcast a very strong signal. There are many other solutions to wifi, but the most common approach is a simple access point.

There are many advantages to connect devices and computers to a network. One advantage is sharing a printer over a network. You can print from several different computers with only on printer and that saves the hassle of transferring files and pictures back and forth to print them the expense of purchasing multiple printers. Also you can share certain files and documents on a network.

The main purpose for using an air card would be to obtain wireless access on the go. An air card can be used with many different wireless devices.

True; Make sure that the ESSID/SSID broadcast option is turned off at the access point!

it means its stopped

just re-set it/repair the network connection

I think It started freely in 2004

TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It is responsible for sending data and ensuring it gets to its locaton. In order to do this TCP checks to make sure a line is open to send data, if it is then it sends the data, then waits for a message to ensure the data made it to its location. Hence the term TCP session is open when the data is sent and then the TCP session is closed once the data is confirmed that it arrived safely. This is a simplified explanation, pick up any book on Networking and it will explain it to you in detail. TCP/IP is the internet, it is the only protocol used on the Internet because it is so reliable.

Wireless and Dial-Up are two different methods of accomplishing the same thing. Therefore, they are basically mutually exclusive. (technically you could use them both at the same time, but in nearly every case, the dial-up would be far inferior, so there wouldn't be much point).

If you mean "wireless internet" merely as the service that you have paid for, then it's possible. It depends on the terms of your contract with your service provider. In general, it would be pretty unusual.

There are many places an inexpensive USB Network adapter may be purchased from. For instance, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, and many other retailers have USB Network adapters for great prices!

not the modem it self, but with an internet plan. im not sure if comcast's high speed internet offers wifi but i know Xfinity does

You can buy digital photoframes in giftshops or photostores. Other places where you can buy digital photoframes are superstores as: Walmart, K-mart, Target. If you prefer to buy them online, you could go to Bestbuy, Amazon or get a good deal at Ebay.
