What is the wep code for dsi?

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) codes are encryption keys used in wireless networks. When configured to use WEP, the network administrator will create a WEP key and then provide it to the network clients. WEP is no longer considered to be secure, and WPA/WPA2 have replaced it in most recent equipment.

If you need to access a WEP-encrypted network on your Nintendo DSi, you should talk to whomever owns the network.

I can connect to the router but not the Internet?

try:

go to "run", then "cmd" -> enter

in black field type "ipconfig /release" enter and wait until something happens.

When it stops type "ipconfig /renew" enter.

First action disconnects you and cleans up your IP addresses, second renews them.

I think only works if IP address is set on automatic.

to see if you're now connected you can ping something, simply type "ping google", press enter, and see if you get any result. If you still have package loss then something else is the problem.

What is the Conclusion of wireless sensor network?

The purpose of a wireless network sensor is to monitor environmental changes. It monitors things such as temperature, sound and pressure.

What can a wireless accesss point use to restrict devices that can connect to it?

There are different things you can use to restrict access a wireless access point.

First one is to use so called black/white lists. Black list forbids certain MAC address to access the wireless access point everybody else is fine. White list allows only certain MAC address to access the wireless access point. Sometimes it's called MAC filter.

Second thing you can use is a wireless password. It allows to connect to your network only if you know the password. You should use WPA at least.

Do you have to have a N modem for a wireless N router?

There is no such thing as N modem. N is a type of wireless network. When modems are usually associated with wired connection. Getting back to the answer, yes you can connect N type wireless router to virtually any modem (there are some exceptions).

Which WiFi router is best in a building?

a MIMO router with omni-directional antennas, perhaps with higher gain than stock antennas.

Why WiFi is slower than wired connection?

Wireless transfer uses radio signals and is always slower than wired transfer.
When you use cable, the application (say a router) has the entire cable to itself - other applications (say a stereo) will use a different cable, and the signals in different cables do not interfere with each other.
When sending through air, the application must share the air space with radio, television, cell phones, other wireless routers (where I live there is about a dozen WiFi networks within range) and electronic noise from fridges, microwave ovens and whatnot.

The net effect is that a wireless transmission can only use a tiny slice of the radio spectrum to avoid collision with everything else that is also using radio waves.
A cable transmission, on the other hand, can use almost the entire spectrum without worrying about collision with signals in other cables.

So cable transmissions will always have an edge in bandwidth: Whatever scheme is invented to stuff more data into less wireless spectrum could equally well be used for cable transmissions, and cable has more available spectrum to begin with.

How do you hook up a wireless router to a non wirless router and the modem?

I know how to hook up a router you just have to

Step 1:put the internet wire on the modem and the router

This will force it to reconnect and reset. Often, this is enough to get it to work. You may also have to restart the modem. If these things do not work, then you can assume that there is a larger issue with the router or the provider.

If you buy a router to connect your laptop to your desktop will you also have to buy a wireless card?

A wireless access point transmits electro-magnetic radiation. This is very similar to a cellphone. At the power levels expected, there is no evidence of health risk.

Can you view your router log?

It's purely depends on your router. Some more expensive routers allow to do such stuff. While cheaper counterparts are not capable of such things.

A network technician must reduce the amount of broadcast traffic on the network while maintaining full connectivity between all different network segments Which device should the administrator deploy?

This device is called a ROUTER. Routers are by default configured to not pass the broadcast traffic to another networks to which it connects.

But by some means it could be also a SWITCH - sometimes it can be configured to filter different type of network traffic.

Is it possible to use a Netgear wifi router on a smartphone?

Yes it is possible to use a Netgear wifi router on a smartphone. Smartphones have a wifi receiver that it can be used for wifi repeating or wifi giving.

Do you have to use both a modem and a router together?

A cable internet customer can use just a modem if they are connecting a single device to the Internet, such as a desktop computer. Many customers now have a plurality of devices they would like to connect to the Internet at once, such as video game consoles, televisions, media centers, laptops, tablets, computers, and phones. In this case, a device that operates as a router is necessary.

The modem provides connectivity for a single device to the Internet, while the router provides a network to many devices in the same area; the combination of the two allows many devices to access the Internet at the same time. Cable operators may now provide a single device that operates as a modem and a router, in which case, only one device is necessary, since it fulfills both roles at once. Technically, the customer still has a modem and a router, but it is housed in a single device, reducing power usage and providing a smaller footprint.
