I have a windows 2000 desktop that gets internet as it is connected through a wireless router via an ethernet cable. I just purchased a Brother Wireless printer that I need help connecting to the wireless router and to the desktop (which does not have wireless capabilities.
PLEASE HELP ME!How do I connect my brother wireless printer to my home wireless router?
The other desktop if its not connected wirelessly they its easy. Just install the drivers for the printer on the desktop thats ethernet cabled to the router. Once installed go to start /settings then printers then on the printer in question right click it and go to sharing and share this printer on the network. But right click my computer/properties then computer name or the like and make sure all computers on the network share the same workgroup . By default MS windows uses the same name. But you can change it to any name you want to. All computers have to have the same workgroup name to share files and printers. Then on the other computer connected wirelessly go to start/settings printers and install new printer and it will ask if its a network printer or direct connect choose network printer and it wll install all thats needed. ThanksHow do I connect my brother wireless printer to my home wireless router?
If for what ever reason you can't get your wifi printer to work, you can always go powerline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoBYr3Ezk
The would be the first thing to check though. Is your Brother bluetooth or wifi. If it is bluetooth, it is basically a wireless USB cable.

How do I configure a router without connecting to it?
I only have one old wireless adapter and I guess i configured the Linksys router's security too high, now I can't connect to it with the adapter, is there any way I can log in to the router without connecting to it?How do I configure a router without connecting to it?
Try by resetting the router. hold the reset button down with a paperclip for about 10sec. This will reset you routerHow do I configure a router without connecting to it?
Plug your PC directly in to one of the Ethernet ports on the router. Wired connections don't use the wireless security settings. That will be faster and less painful than resetting the router to the factory defaults as others have suggested.
you can push the ';reset'; button on the back of the router and everything will be set to default and all security will be removed then you can use your default address to access your modem using your wireless card. Eg. 192.168.0.1
You should be able to log into the router without connecting to it using your administrative password. You shouldn't have to be connected to do this.

How many computers can be connected to the Internet using a wireless router?
I have a Comcast provided wireless router at home.
4 of us can surf the net with no problems. However a 5ht and a 6th computer cannot be used to connect to the Internet. Is there an upper limit on how many computers can talk to the Internet when one uses a wireless router? Or is there something we are doing that is not right?How many computers can be connected to the Internet using a wireless router?
Depends on the router. Most wireless routers have a setting for the number of IP addresses that the DHCP server will allow at one time.How many computers can be connected to the Internet using a wireless router?
IT DEPENDS ON THE THE TYPE OF ROUTER AND ALSO HOW MUCH PERSON IS ALLOW ON THAT ROUTER.
254 with the default DHCP settings
Check with your broadband provider
You might need to get a better router
You should be able to connect all of your computers to the same router. Try turning off one or two of the computers you already know work to see if the 5th and 6th will connect. If they do then yes your router strangely can only handle 4. If it still doesn't work then you are doing something wrong in the inital connection. Good luck!
i belive its 5 for a basic brodband servace, thats what i have.
ideally, it should be able to give you 256 network connections...remember the ip numbers? normally 192.168.XXX.XXX the numbers go from 0 to 256 and the ip is given either by the router or the server, but in a basic router configuration is router.
if you are using the settings that came from factory, your router probably have a a setting that reads something like ';starting IP'; and ';ending IP'; and those are the setting that limit how many pc can be connected to such network at same time.
On the other hand, when you have either DSL or cable, you have a limited amount of BANDWIDTH, which limits the speed of the internet connection to each computer, if you have more than 4 and all of you are downloading something at same time... that could probably be your problem, like noted by the other answers, it also depends on the brand and quality of your router.
It depends on your service.
512 kbps -- 4 computers.
768 kbps -- 6 computers
1024 kbps -- 10 computers.
1536 kbps -- 14 computers.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) must tell you your broadband speed.
Routers have a limit on how many computers they can support. You can either buy more routers or a router that supports connecting more computers to the internet.
Make your DHCP scope in your wireless router as big as you can. Many limit it. The solution is to use a different DHCP server and not the one on the router.
It will depend on the specific model and manufacturer. Do you have a Linksys, Netgear or other wireless router?
For example, some Linksys routers allow 60 connections, while others may only allow 5.
maybe theres just a limit
Depends on the router. Some only allow 5 people. Some allow up to 64. Plus you can always daisy chain more together to make a larger network.

How far can you be from a wireless router to the psp?
For the psp, how far can you be from the wireless router to the psp to connect to the internet.
What I mean is that the nearest wireless router(the one I know of) is at school(and the wireless router is big) and from my house to it is about 2 miles away. Will it work?How far can you be from a wireless router to the psp?
It depends on ur routers signal; how strong it is. A normal router signal ges up to 60-100 yards. Yes it is possible for some routers to send signals up to 1 mile, check this one out http://www.geek.com/mini-review-parkervi There are prlly more powerful ones. But i dont think that a school would use those kinds of routers.How far can you be from a wireless router to the psp?
It depends on the router your connecting to. The PSP itself does not have a particular radius.
Regular school routers do not have a very big radius, and very few have one of 2 miles. Hell, I don't even know if those exists.
hummmm no, i'm just in another room and i lose connection.
The standard for a home router is about 150 feet. A commercial access point has about a 300 foot signal. It is unlikely that you will be able to connect to a school router form 2 miles away. And if you can, you should not as connecting to someone else's network (especially a commercial one) is a crime that can land you in jail.
Nope. The maximum range for a wireless router is 100 meters under optimal conditions. You're way outside that.

How to close the ports on my wireless router?
How to close the ports on my wireless router so that I can prevent illegally downloading torrents. The router is Netgear Wireless G-Router WGR614V9.How to close the ports on my wireless router?
Don't know exactly for this router but have a check in the manual for Firewall settings. The Firewall can be set to different levels which blocks different ports.
If you don't have the manual, you can download it from the Netgear website.

How can I change the security setting on my router?
I have a Linksys N Ultra range router. It is up and running and can be found but neither of my computers nor my phone will connect to it. The password is right, so I am guessing that I made the security too high. I chose the highest setting. How can I change this?How can I change the security setting on my router?
1. In your browser type 192.168.1.1
2. Enter your security info for your router to log into it
3. Click the button that says Wireless
4. Choose the sub-option that says Wireless Security
5. Choose security mode
6. Save settingsHow can I change the security setting on my router?
log into the router. you have to plug the default gateway number into the internet browser address bar of a computer connected to the router, either directly, or wirelessly.
just to add to the above to answers
you maybe able to reset the router to default settings (factory) just unplug it for a few minutes
turn your pc's off and plug your router in wait till its up and running and then turn on pc's
Setting security on a wireless router can be tricky for someone inexperienced at it. I recommend that when installing a new router, first install it with no security and test it to make sure that you can connect. Then implement ONE MORE security setting and test it again. Continue adding all the security ';bells and whistles'; ONE at a time and testing it until you get all of them working.
To reset the router back to factory defaults, look for a small hole on the back with the word ';Reset'; next to it. Straighten a paperclip, and stick the end of it in the hole until you feel a button click. Hold it in for 30 seconds and then let it go. The router should then be reset, and you can start re-configuring it per above.
