Network definition for ingress router and egress router?
An ingress router is a Label Switch Router that is a starting point (source) for a given Label Switched Path (LSP). An ingress router may be an egress router or an intermediate router for any other LSP(s). Hence the role of ingress and egress routers is LSP specific.
An egress router is a Label Switch Router that is an end point (drain) for a given Label Switched Path (LSP). An egress router may be an ingress router or an intermediate router for any other LSP(s). Hence the role of egress and ingress routers is LSP specific.

Can you find the WiFi password on a computer and how?
Yes, it is possible to find the Wi-Fi password on a computer. (Note: Only do this if it is YOUR computer, and are not trying to hack into somebody else's Wi-Fi router). There should be software for the router on your computer, and in that router software that you installed somewhere in there should be your Wi-Fi password (every software is different, so it is hard to say exactly where it is).
What is the best router tech support in US?
The best router technical support for each brand of router is the support team of each manufacturer. They provide their support services for free and know their products inside and out, so they are able to resolve any problems that arise.
In my professional experience, I have found TP-Link to be the most helpful and most willing to assist with any problems that have arisen, even going so far as to create a custom firmware version to resolve a unique configuration issue for one of my clients.
As far as brands of routers to avoid, in my experience Asus and Belkin routers have been the worst in terms of longevity and reliability. While other brands (even off-brands such as Buffalo) have their issues and are not as user-friendly or as stable as the top-tier brands (TP-Link, Cisco/Linksys, Trendnet, D-Link, Netgear), they at least tend to remain fully functional for years. Asus and Belkin routers, as I have found in various client environments--both business and residential, tend to start having problems in as little as six months, sometimes making it to a year or so and all have needed to be replaced within no more than three years due to complete failure (no power, no lights, dead as a doornail).
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line. If you happen to be in the northeast Kansas area, let me know and I will be glad to have my company give you professional assistance if you wish.

Can two nearby n-standard 2.4 Ghz routers interfere with each other?
Yes they can if they are configured to use the same or similar wireless channels/frequencies. When two wireless routers interfere with each other it is called channel overlap.
The remedy to this problem is to configure each router to use a different channel that is at least 5 channels away from the other.
e.g. Configure router 1 to use channel 6. Configure router 2 to use channel 11.
Some routers also have an 'Auto' option which aims to change channels automatically to avoid interference with other routers or devices.
you just need to know how to get drivers for your wireless receiver unless theyr already installed. if they are installed there is something at the bottom right of the taskbar that you can open "wireless networks" connect anyway when you try connecting
Invalid IP address - have you got an exact error message..??
This could be a number of things, though most likely your DHCP is only leasing ip addresses for a set time and for whatever reason your laptop isn't renewing it. I saw a similar problem caused by a badly configured firewall.
My advice would be to give yourself a static ip address. This should solve your problem.
Is a desktop card required to use a wireless adapter?
A USB wireless adapter will work just fine on a desktop.
A PCMCIA (cardbus) wireless adapter may present problems as most desktops do not have PCMCIA slots. There are ways around this problem however, such as pcmcia-to-PCI adapter cards & the like.
The Belkin N300 wireless router connects to the back of the modem using a cat5 cable and also requires a power cord to be connected to the back. The wireless portion of the title comes from the fact that the Internet from the modem is taken into the router and transmitted into WiFi signals that travel through the air over to a wireless receiver. The N in the title is a rating that is given to the signal strength of the router. N rated routers are very powerful.
What can be enabled on a wireless network by turning on WEP or WPA?
WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc, are just encryption protocols.
WEP is by far the easiest for hackers to break literally in seconds to minutes. WPA is much better but is slowly getting easier to crack, WPA2 Personal is the best you can use now for the consumer. Some fairly older wireless devices may not support WPA2 tho. At the very least use WPA with a long random password if you can't use WPA2.
What is the password for the wifi network printer?
You have to give the printer the same SSID and password of the network your using.
