And how do i configure my computer to do so. And also my wireless router is a Netgear WGR614.Can I plug my wireless router into the back of my computers ethernet port to share the Internet?
That's how it works, YES.
However, you have to understand the order of the connections..
The MODEM gets plugged into the back of the router FIRST, into the slot marked INTERNET on the back of the router.
Then, you just run the cable that came with the router from any one of the other 4 slots on the back of the router directly to your computers
network card.
Then just run the software that came with the router from the computer the router is physically attached to.
Its pretty simple. Then, depending on whether you have a wireless router or wired router, you will set up a wireless network name an so forth.
If you are just using a wired setup, you will simply run another cable from one of the three remaining slots to your other computer.
Just remember.....the MODEM gets plugged into the slot marked INTERNET on the back of the router, and the other things such as computers, network printers and so forth go into the other slots on the back of the router.Can I plug my wireless router into the back of my computers ethernet port to share the Internet?
Connect the cable/dsl modem to the router's WAN port(sometimes named as Modem Port, internet port, Up-link port).
Then connect the router's LAN port to the computer.
Then turn off everything.
Turn on cable/dsl modem, wait few minutes until most lights show up.
Turn on the router, wait few minutes until most lights show up.
Turn on the PC.
The router will have both wired and wireless. It's all about connecting the cables properly. There should be a wan or Internet port on the back of the router. Connect that to your modem. The port will be a port further away from the other ports. The other ports that are closer together than the one far apart will connect to the computers. That's it, it's all plug and play.
Instead of wireless, I highly recommend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KWdOLgy

How do I connect xbox to internet through router?
I have bought a second hand xbox and ethernet cable. I have Virgin broadband through a router, and currently my laptop is connected to it via USB cable. We have plugged in the ethernet cable to xbox and router, but when it starts trying to connect, it says there's an error with the IP address? Help!How do I connect xbox to internet through router?
First thing you want to do is go into your dash to network settings and set everything to auto configure. Then shut off your box. (assuming your still plugged in to the router) Turn off the router and wait a few minutes. Turn it back on. Turn on your xbox. Then go in to network and test connection. It should go right through at this point. If it doesn't then you will need to open your gaming ports on the router. First call microsoft(18004myxbox) once you get a live person ask them what ports you have to open on your router(they will ask you which kind you have) then they will tell you. Next you have to call customer service for the router and tell them what you need to do. they will walk you through it(it's pretty easy to do right from your comp) then just reset your xbox and you should be good. It can be kinda a pain but I had to do it to mine and it works great now.How do I connect xbox to internet through router?
what sort of router? and it should work. probably you need to open the port. email me for help or preferably you should post this message on the xbox forum or contact xbox

How do I connect to my router?
I have a Airlink101 N Router model #ar670w. My router is shown as hidden. Someone else set up my network. How would I work around the fact that my network is hidden and connect to my router via wi-fi. I need to connect my iphone and laptop to the router.How do I connect to my router?
there should be an option to connect to a non broadcasting network you will need to click that if he didn't set up your computers to the network you will need the wep key as wellHow do I connect to my router?
first click start%26gt;run%26gt; type in ';cmd'; (no quotes)
a black box opens up
type ipconfig /all
look in the list for the gateway address
take this number (usually something like 192.168.xxx.xxx) and put into web browser (hit enter)
this will take you to your router setup page, it may need a password
if no password you want to turn on SSID (make sure you apply once change is made)
you should see your network then
normally you can change it from hidden to free by just looking at the router setup book which came with your router and there it will tell you the website so you can change your settings =]

How do I setup a router to login to our internet connection?
We have one internet connection and two laptops that require internet. Normally we can only use one laptop at a time on the internet, our line requires a login and password, and only one session at a time. I have a wireless router that I'm told I can setup to be logged into the connection, store the login and password in? How do I do that? Any more information, clarification, walk throughs, whatever, is much appreciated.How do I setup a router to login to our internet connection?
Every router is a little bit different, it would be helpful to know what kind of router you have, or at least the brand. I would also help to know the name of your Internet service provider, since they all do things a little bit differently. You ISP can probably help you better than I can, but here's a couple of things you can try:
On the basic setup of your router, you should be able to select a connection type. It sounds like yours is PPPoE or maybe L2TP. With either of those selections, you should be able to enter in a user name and password.

How do you set up security on a router with two laptops - could anyone give me steps to?
My roomate just moved in and I'm trying to set up the security on my Belkin router. I've had the router set up and running now for several weeks with no security.
I'm confused as to whether the software for the security will run through one computer or if I have to put the software on both?
Could anyone give me steps? I've read the manual but honestly it's all foreign to me. I'm horrible at anything electronic.How do you set up security on a router with two laptops - could anyone give me steps to?
Plug your computer into the router with an ethernet cable. Run the CD that is included with your router and it will take you through some set up steps. One of these steps will set up an opportunity to set up a password. Once you have a password set up, it will ask you for it when you go to access the router. You will have the opportunity to save it on your computer, so you really only have to do it once
If all else fails, I'll come over and fix it for a small non-monetary price ;-)How do you set up security on a router with two laptops - could anyone give me steps to?
read read and read. The router will have ';help available'; all over the place. I dont recommend using others help because it can get very complicated. Basically there is a password and then a quiple of types of security. People can get software off the internet to by pass the security. Use the high security for best results. You have to have the router ip address and enter it into the Http:// as you would a regular internet site. There may even be a simple way with the program itself. Only one computer is needed for the software.

How can I set up a second router in my home to increase the wireless range?
We have one router at the top of the house, but it has four floors, and it's not possible to get a wireless signal. My friend gave me a second router (a decent netgear one) and I want to set it up on the second bottom floor so that it is possible to access the internet anywhere within the house. Any help on this is much appreciated, thank you in advance.How can I set up a second router in my home to increase the wireless range?
Don't set it up as a new wireless source it will keep you from being able to do any file sharing with your computers connecting upstairs.
First plug an ethernet cable straight from your computer to the new netgear routers LAN 1 port. Plug up power to the netgear. Next. Open up Internet Explorer and at the top of your screen in the URL box and type in 192.168.0.1 click go or enter.
Username = admin / Password = password
Next click on LAN IP setup. Then Uncheck use router as DHCP checkmark box. Here is a screenshot...

This will make your new wireless router act as a wireless switch and your main router upstairs will be your only router. Now plug up an ethernet line from your router upstairs to your new router in it's LAN2 port and you will be good to go. You may have to unplug the new router then plug it back in for the main router to see it properly.
Good Luck HTH.How can I set up a second router in my home to increase the wireless range?
I would set up wireless repeaters instad of routers... for the simple reason each router would then need it's own IP addressing and network ID...
if you had a machine downstairs on that router, it would be networked differetly than the machines on the upstairs router. the problem with this owuld be if you ever moved from one area to another, the machines would ahve to doisconnect and reconnect, rather than just hopping from one repeater to another...
Connect the second router's uplink port to the first router's Lan port using ethernet cables. Then setup second router's wifi with different SSID %26amp; channel.
Option 1: you could get a booster or bridge and use it without connecting ethernet cables.
Option 2: You could get high powered USB wifi card from amazon.com and use that wifi adaptor to access the first router.

How do I hook up a wireless router to two computers, one being wired and one not?
I have a computer in a bedroom hooked up to the internet and a wireless router. I want to get the internet on a computer in the living room and to our WII but I don't know how to connect the other computer without running a USB cable from the router to it. Is this possible?How do I hook up a wireless router to two computers, one being wired and one not?
If it's wireless there is no port to plug in, the one being wired is not going to work.How do I hook up a wireless router to two computers, one being wired and one not?
Of course it is. You need to know two equally important things: The SSID and WEP Key. The SSID is the name of the router. You can use the Wii to search for your router name. You then need your WEP key. This can mostly be obtained by typing either of the following adresses into your computer internet browser: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0. If it prompts for am password, it will be the following. Username: Admin Password: password1 navigate to the wireless settings of the router to see your router's settings. If Any of these steps dont work, ask me or clarify your question. Best of Luck.
