Connecting Wireless Router To Regular Router


Can i connect a wireless router to a regular router? Ill be getting a psp for the bday and my school issue laptop tomorrow. Both of which ill need a wireless connection if im gonna get online, however, my own and my moms desktops do not have wireless capability and are hooked to our cable modem with a regular 5 port netgear router. Im thinking about buying a wireless router, but i cant unplug the other router to hook the wireless to the modem. I dont know much about wireless - can i just take the lan between the wired router and a wireless one? Would that work? Am i even making sense, ahaha?

Connecting One Wireless Router To Another

I got two linksys routers- 802. 11 b and g respectively. The g version is what i am currently using to broadcast my wireless. The problem is that the signal is weak upstairs in my room. Can i somehow connect the 802. 11b to the one i am running right now? I mean like through the ethernet cable? I would like to make my connection stronger upstairs. I do have a cable that is long enough. The question is can this be done?

Connecting A Router (bridge Mode) To A Wireless Access Point

Bit of an odd question. I know. So here is what i am trying to do. Recently moved from chicago to pittsburgh - i have t-mobile voip that is currently run via a linksys wireless router. That said - my building offers free wifi and instead of purchasing a connection on my own, i would like to take advantage of this amenity. I want to configure the tmobile router as a bridge and connect it to a wireless access point. Is this possible to do?

Connect Wired Router To Wireless Router

Can i connect a wired router to a wireless router? Just had verizon dsl installed with a wireless router they provided. They connected two pcs(wired) to it and a laptop with the wireless. I would like to connect a tv, blu ray player, xbox 360 and my wii to it with a wired connection and am not sure what i need. I know i need to run a ethernet cable from one of the unused lan connections on the wireless router in my basement up to the livingroom but not sure what i need after that, a hub, wired router or something else?

Connect Wireless Router To Another Wireless Router

I was wondering if there was a way to connect one wireless router to another. I have two wireless/wired routers, and i do not feel like buying a wireless stick for my desktop. I'd rather just connect the routers somehow. Attaching one long cable to the router is not an option. I would have used a cable , but my modem is in a corner where my couches are and other furniture in the way. That's why i say connect the two some how. I do not have any other places to put them since the cable company only opened a select amount of ports. The routers are both netgears, which as i stated are wireles/wired. Links or detailed information will be appreciated.

Help Connecting To Wrt54g2 Router

I'm trying to hook up this computer to a wrt54g2 linksys router. The internet is connected into it, i've checked all the cables a thousand times, but for some reason, the internet just isn't automatically applied to the computer. The only way i can maintain an internet connection is by going into the router's settings at the default ip and clicking "renew dhcp". Then, i get about 30 seconds of internet activity before it goes out again. Did my router break or something? Answer that fixes this gets as many points as i can give!

Leviton Router 1 Computer Not Connecting

I took over a business and the business had 2 computers connected. 1 of the computers burned out so i had to bring a computer i had at home over to the office. The computer that was already there gets the internet and works fine (dsl with sbc, ppp which i believe is public something) but the new computer i brought will work fine if i connect the dsl directly, but will not pick up on the internet with the router. Now it can't be the router settings because it controls all the computers, so that would mean that none of them would work. Now it doesn't ask me for a password to connect, so i always pick dynamic no password/username required on the setup. What else should i check for? I have a leviton 4-port ethernet router lan.computers are running windows xp. I can't figure out why my computer won't work with the router, but will work fine with the dsl modem by itself.

Connecting Linksys Router To Comcast Modem

We recently upgraded to comcast high-speed internet from our existing at&t. The tech guy that came only installed internet on one computer. Note: using comcast's modem directly hooked up to the computer worked fine. The problem is that we have two computers. So set it up using a router the same way that worked while using at&t. Modem <-> router <-> computer

After setting it up, it searched for an ip but was unable to find one. I am sure the router works fine because i had no problems while using it with at&t's internet. Without an ip, i can't configure the modem to communicate with the router, using a web browser. Any input on how i can fix this or what i am doing wrong is much appreciated. Modem - arris tm602g/ct
Router - linksys befsr41 v. 2

Can Xbox 360 Connected To Router Interfere With Other Router Connection

Can an xbox360 connected to a router interfere with another person's router connection? The netgear router is in my room and my xbox360 is connected to it with a wired ethernet connection. My father is convinced that the xbox360 is the reason that he frequently doesn't have a connection, or it's very slow, and has to unplug the router for 60 seconds. I don't think that makes sense, especially since he'll have problems when i haven't even used the system all day. Also, his connection has gotten worse since he traded in our linksys router for this netgear. Can my xbox360 be interfering with his router connection, or is it the router?

Wireless N Router / Adapters

I'm considering upgrading my old 802. 11g network to a dual-band 802. 11n one. I'll be using two desktops (one being an htpc), and two laptops which already have intel 5100agn wi-fi cards. What i'm wondering, is what some good dual-band routers and desktop cards/adapters would be. I'd prefer a usb adapter, although pci would be ok if it would offer noticeably better performance. I definitely will need dual-band capability, since the htpc is currently being overwhelmed by a lot of wi-fi signals in the 2. 4ghz range.

How Long Does A Wireless Router Last ?

I have had 2 wireless routers and i doubt either has lasted 12 months. The 'wired' connections work fine, but the wireless is sporadic. I thought is was the wireless card for my laptop, but a brand new wireless usb adapter does the same thing: it does not see my wireless router. The new card does find my neighbors wireless connection, but not the router sitting 2 feet away. I had a linksys and now a dlink and the wireless parts have died while the wired ports are fine. Am i doing something wrong? Is there anyway to test the wireless connection to confirm that it is working?

Is My Wireless Router Broken?

I have a netgear wireless router and its original black box power adaptor died many months ago. I bought a generic adaptor of the same voltage/ settings etc, since i read on the internet that it was okay to do that. Everything was going well until last week when it started to emit a constant, high pitched squeal. The squeal would only happen if you plug the router back on. The netgear router itself is a few years old (wgr614 v6). So the problem is, today i turned on my laptop and there was no wireless being picked up. I tried the usual resetting the modem, unplug/plugging it back in, waiting 20 mins etc etc. However everytime i plug it back in, the router would keep resetting itself and the wireless light or indicator never turns on or even blinks. So now i've connected my laptop to the modem itself just to get internet. Pushing the reset button is no good. Is my router gone for good?

If it is, what brand of router should i buy next?

I have wpa encryption for all my wireless at home, do i have to reset all of these when i get a new router?

What Kind Of Wireless Router Should I Get?

I'm planning on getting a wireless router to support my computer, xbox 360 and possibly a couple other gadgets here and there. I'm not sure what kind to buy and what all the lingo that goes along with them means. Here are some things in a router i'm looking for. Hopefully someone can match me up with one that meets my needs. I need something that is xbox compliant (i know from research that there's a list). It needs to be able to support gaming and not lag. I would like the ability to roam around my house and yard without worry of disconnecting. I'd prefer something that doesn't require a degree in computers to set up. Are there any other things i should be thinking about when purchasing a router?

I have a $100 gift card to best buy and my plan was to buy a router with it. I think i need a wireless adapter for the xbox 360? So i'd like to keep the price of both within the $100.
