Wireless Networking and WiFi

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.

Wired internet is where a physical wire is connecting you to the internet, such as a Ethernet cable going into the Ethernet port on the back of your computer. Wireless internet uses digital radio signals in the air to transfer data from a wireless router to a computer with a wireless adapter (built in or external)

the pin code is on the label in the back of the unit ...my is 45216909..but once I used this code, my wireless still recognize the pin..any solution?

When attempting to network my computers, I was prompted to enter an 8-digit pin which is supposedly found on the bottom of the router. It wasn't, of course. So I called Belkin (877 736 5771) and was told that they could assist in resetting my router's pin, to effect a bypass which would allow me to network, in the absence of m router pin. I didn't proceed for unrelated reasons. Anyway, if you don't have your pin, and need it, call Belkin. 'Hope this helps.

Yes, you can if your router supports it. Some routers allow to keep history for later viewing, others allow to save logs on external drives. And most of them keep history until you reboot the router.

You are now able to use your cell phone to connect to the Internet. This feature is called tethering. This can be done on a regular phone, you no longer need a smartphone to utilize the Internet through your phone.

No. If the power is off, then the network adapter cannot transmit. If no communication can be made with the wireless device, then no information can be obtained regarding its whereabouts.

Note that, in general, WiFi connections cannot be used determine the location of devices that they are connected with. With a 3G or GPRS ('mobile broadband') connection, such localisation is possible, but is technically extremely difficult for anyone but the user of the device in question.

To extend your wifi range at home a wifi extender can be bought at Bestbuy, Target, or another electronic selling store. One of the best wifi extenders that can be bought today is the Netgear wifi extender.

No, DSL uses the same telephone line you use to make calls.

Yes it uses data and pleanty of it so unless your on wifi that's unlimited be carefull if your using too much Pandora.

Yes, it can. Usually default settings include configured DHCP server, no security, no mac filtering, broadcast SSID is on. In another words, it's configured in a way it's very easy to establish connection with it.

One may purchase chargers for a wide array of mobile devices from several stores, both online and in their physical buildings. Walmart, Best Buy, Sears, Radio Shack, eBay, and Amazon's website are all good options to purchase chargers for a wide array of mobile devices.

Your wireless network name, known as the SSID. This name identifies your network. You should choose something unique that none of your neighbors will be using. 2. Wireless encryption (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), which help protect your wireless network. For most routers, you will provide a passphrase that your router uses to generate several keys. Make sure your passphrase is unique and long (you don't need to memorize it). 3. Your administrative password, which controls your wireless network. Just like any other password, it should not be a word that you can find in the dictionary, and it should be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Be sure you can remember this password, because you'll need it if you ever have to change your router's settings. The exact steps you follow to configure these settings will vary depending on the type of router you have. After each configuration setting, be sure to click Save Settings, Apply, or OK to save your changes.

There are three ways;

1. The first one is using a wireless modem either built in to the computer or attached via usb or firewire and connect that to a wireless router or wireless hotspot.

2. Use Ethernet, using an Ethernet port (it looks like a dial up port except wider) and connect that to the back of a DSL router or Ethernet access point.

3. Using Mobile Broadband, usually provided by mobile providers that is plugged in to a USB port

In order to setup a homemade wifi antenna, you would need materials such as Duct tape, Bowl, Soldering tools, Wifi antenna, Drill (optional) and Wifi antenna node.

First thing you need to consider when setting up the antenna is what kind of antenna to use. The directional ones can be good for great distances. However their deflection angles have limitations and their width cannot go beyond 30 degrees. It's good for long distance but poor for local transmission. So if you want local transmission, an omnidirectional antenna could be a good choice.

Once the antenna has been decided next is to take off the handle from the pan's cover and use the hole to pass the homemade wifi antenna's cable. If there isn't a hole, thenyou need to make one in the middle. Use a drill to make the hole. Next set the wifi node in the middle of the lid and the setup will force the emanating wave to focus in one direction. You can also make use of other reflectors. Metallic pipes or cans should be fine. Usually, the parabolic dish has a wider angle so it's better to use.

Finally its time to test your reciever to check it does the job. Set the wifi dish at the receiver and give the signal a try. Under certain conditions, the signal can go as far as ten miles. Using a reflector will help in generating a stronger signal for the homemade wifi antenna.

Assuming this other computer is not located near your router (in which case you would just run a cable) the first thing you need is to make sure this computer has a working wireless card that is compatible with your router.

There are four flavors of wireless - A, B, G, and N. A is rarely used these days and not compatible with the rest. N cards and routers are usually backward compatible with B and G, but check. G is the most widely available.

Once you have a computer with a compatible card that you know is working, just connect it like you did your first computer that's on the network. In some cases, you may have to power down all of your devices and then re-boot "from the wall out" - first the modem, then the router, finally the computer(s). It's that simple. Most wireless router are configured by default to accept a number of simultaneous connections.

If for some reason the above fails, check your computer and make sure the wireless card is activated (Device Manager) and receiving - you should see some kind of indicator on your computer or the card depending on your equipment.

Still no connection? Check the settings on your router. Did you enable security (WEP, WPA, etc) or turn off broadcasting? You'll need to make those settings on you new computer. Specifics of this can be involved and depend on which method you use.

There is one limitation of your wireless network, yes you guessed it right and that is the amount of an area its cover. As you go away from your Netgear router device you face any issue with a weak signal and to solve this problem wifi extender comes into play. WIfi extender or you might also call them range extender or wifi booster all mean the same at the end of the day. Basically, it is a device used to repeat your wifi signal from your router/ device to expand its coverage. Its main function is to capture the wifi signal from your device and expand them to areas where the signal is weak or does not exist so that you can enjoy your favorite show movie or do your office work without any worry or lag. Netgear has been providing some great wifi range extenders devices to help its users to expand their coverage. Also, check our extender buying guide for more info.

if its yours you can look on your administrator computer/laptop and click on bottom right corner on the wifi you will soon find it. however if its not yours your and they dont know your committing a crime and i would stop now!

Sniffing is a computer network hacker term. On Ethernet networks data is sent in data packets. The packet includes the sending address, the data being sent, and the address it came from. Hackers are able to use a "sniffing" program to intercept those packets of data and read them.

I should be able to help with this - but unfortunately I'm not quite following the question!! Could you rephrase and draw me a little verbal picture...the wording is confusing me a little. Thanks.

You are a little bit confused so let me make the record straight. Your router picks up the Internet and sends it around wirelessly. Your Nintendo DS/DSI/Wii or computer uses the router to connect to the internet. This whole service is Wi-Fi. If you are asking "How far away can I be from the router to pick up Wi-Fi?", then it all depends on how well the router is. Note: If you are planning to connect to Wi-Fi using a Nintendo Wii/DS/DSI, make sure that you have a fast enough Internet connection and that your security setting on your router is set to "WEP" security. Broadband or higher is required for these systems and If you get your Internet through a cable service, you should be in good shape. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, it is not. If anything, it provides another point at which your data can be intercepted. WiFi passwords are not all that hard to hack. There are even illegal Wi-Fi devices that have a rather strong signal and have built-in brute force attack features. If you are not using the WiFi features of a modem or router, the best thing to do is disable that functionality.

The benefits of having a wifi antenna booster is that people using this item will experience stronger wifi signals within their home or work space. This is good for connecting to the internet with laptops or phones.
