yes, if the receiving router has a "bridge mode" available. With this mode a wireless router can mirror data received from a far away router to the local area covered by it
A wireless router takes your Internet connection from your modem and splits it with other computers on your network. The stronger the wireless router the better the signal you will receive. The stronger the signal the further you can be from the router and receive an Internet connection. As good as a strong signal sounds you should consider that your signal can be picked up your neighbors and passers by who may try to access your network.
If you do have a wireless router on, you don't need any other computer to be on, say if you have a laptop downstairs, and a computer with the router upstairs, the computer can be off, but the router has to stay on, and you can access the internet using the laptop from downstairs, if you have a good enough signal. Hope this helps!
One uses the airwaves, a wireless router sends a signal. The other needs a cable from the router plunged into a port on the PC.
Move the router to the middle of the house, or buy a better router.
To get "wireless" access from a cable modem, you will need a wireless router in addition to the cable modem. Wireless routers are made by Linksys, and a number of other vendors. Start: 1. Plug the coax cable from the wall into your modem. (this is the "live" internet connection now powering your modem. The modem is now "live") 2. Run the ethernet cable from your modem into your wireless router. (this router is now "live") 3. Run the ethernet cable from the wireless router into your PC. (the PC is now "live") You are basically looping the modem into the router, and the router to your PC, instead of going directly from the modem into the PC. The benefit of looping the wireless router in between the Modem and the PC is so that the wireless router can get a live internet signal and broadcast a "wireless" signal to your home and surrounding 100 foot area. The reason you loop the ethernet cable from the wireless router (in step #2) back into your PC is so that the PC can get the internet connection. Most PC's don't have a wireless "receiver" to receive the wireless signal, and require a direct input from an ethernet cable. Most laptops have wireless ("receivers" aka: modems) and can receive the signal from the wireless router (which is now actively receiving and broadcasting the signal) which we connected in step #2. The concept is very similar to your home telephone with a wireless handset. The phone line runs into the base station, and you can walk around your home with a wireless phone. This is the same with your laptop, and the wireless router is just like the base station of your phone.
Few SuggestionsWhen connecting to your wireless router, there are a few things which influence the speed; 1) Distance from the router - The further away, the weaker the signal will become.2) How many other wireless devices are connected to the router wirelessly - as even though the router can connect you at 54mbs, that 54mbs is split between other wireless network users.(so 2 people with full strength signals connected to a 54mbs router will receive 27mbs each.)3) Wireless channel - If on the same channel as another wireless device, it may cause disruption to the signal.11MBs is not a bad connection - if you are using the internet you will generally be unaffective as 99% of internet connections are 8mbs or less.
It is possible to encrypt your wireless signal. So, the answer is no, it is entirely possible to block other people from using your signal without your permission.
A wireless router adapter is a plug-in peripheral card or even a USB device which lets you communicate with wireless routers or other computers to network with them. A WIFI booster is a way of boosting a weak WIFI signal to increase the range.
Put the router in a central location in your home for the best signal strength throughout the house. If your router is against an outside wall of your home, the signal strength on the other side of the house may be weaker. Position the router away from walls, floors and metal objects, which can interfere with the signal.
Well I don't know about that but something similar is getting a wireless repeater relay, that should double the distance of your original router if that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps.
No. To find wireless routers, your computer must have a wireless chip in it that will search for signals near you. SO, if you can connect to your own wireless router, you can connect to other wireless router.
PS3 has a G signal, but when you purchase your wireless router you are better off getting the Wireless-N-Broadband router for future connections to other devices. PS3 also is better wired than wireless and I found the signal test of the PS3 much better wired than WiFi. I also brought my Linksys by Cisco model no WRT160N wireless router at Best Buy and later saw a much better model at Sam's Club for the same price range that Best Buy had for twice the price
