A virtual private network sits behind a NAT device such as a router or residential gateway. The device has the public IP adress while each computer on the network has a private IP adress. This makes each computer behind the NAT device basically invisable to the World Wide Web. All information to and from the networked computers goes throgh the NAT device. \n\nI highly reccomend Belkin software for routers and wireless access points. Belkin has a few differant types of network devices, and which you chcoose will depend on what you can afford and what you wish to achieve. I runn a bussiness, so I am using the highest grade devices, router and adapters. The system is called Belkin Pre-N, with N standing for the level above 8o2.11g stamdard and is campatable with 802.11b and 802.11g devices and supports WPA security encryption of data flow, has two hardware firewalls which are compatable with the windows software firewall, has strong controls on use of service, and parental and employee browsing and chat controls. It also has abilities to eccelerate both your connection speed by 800% with my connection maintaining an amazing speed of 108Mpbs, and has a 6000% increased coverage area for laptops. If I choose I could sit down the street or at a neighbors four houses down and connect to my own network, all without any worry of others getting into my network or using my connection without putting in a password. \n\nLinksys has a good product too, but I had severl connection drops which entailed having to push the reset button on the router in order to get the connection up and running again. While I understand this may have been a hardware failing, I have answered a few questions about the linksys routers doing this often. \n\nYou will need a router and adapters for each computer on your network. The router needs to be configured for WPA encryption not just WEP as WEP is simply not that secure. Then the key used for the router needs to be typed into each adapter interface in order for a connection to be made wirelessly. \n\nNOw, a virtual private network is not just a wireless network but can also be a wired network. I needed to add that so there is no misunderstanding. \n\nI hope this has helped you understand better what you were wanting to know about VPN's. Good luck. :-)

To pull the router page on comp type 192.168.1.1 in the add bar . Leave the user feild blank and the password is "admin"\n.Once u get the page choose DHCP  configurration ,If the modem is in bridge mode.The upload and download is no ware related to the router . Contcat your ISP for that.

...this is a toughy, but i would initially guess that the problem is with dhcp assignments... is the router using dhcp?

A router provides another layer of protection to your firewall, but it is not faster.  You won't have to log in any more, as your router logs in.   \n\nGet the router when you need it.   Just like everything else, they don't last forever. \n\nGood luck and Happy computing!

Read the directions that came with the Router... They are usually extremely detailed. \n\nIt is cheaper for them to explain the process  in writing, in an easy way to understand... rather than have you call their tech support and use up the time of their paid employees.

You need to go into the settings. This is different for many laptops and computers but there should be an autoconnect field or something like that. Delete all of the entries but the router(s) that u want to use.

routers are just directing connections to and from computers, so it doesn't matter what kind of system you're using, just make sure the computer is setup and functioning correctly.

A home network with a router is the safest. Use a network hub to connect the to computers to your in-house network and then the router will connect to your internet.\n\nSee below for help:

A router is a computer networking device that forwards data packets across a network toward their destinations, through a process known as routing. Routing occurs at Layer 3 (the network layer i.e. Internet Protocol (IP)) of the OSI seven-layer protocol stack.\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router\n\nGateway has several meanings. It may often share meanings with the term gate.\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway

You do not need a router. What you need is a switch. If you are setting up a LAN (local area network) party, that implies that everyone will be relatively local (ie. same building). You will only need up to as many ports as you have Xboxs. There should be no lag because of the network if you use a switch with 100Mbps full duplex ports. Any lag will be because they are made by Microsoft.

you are going to have to configure your router.  Follow the directions that came with it.\nIt may also be set to automatically require a password, which you will need to enter in your computer (or disable this function and make it an open network)

are you on the web without a firewall,\nwhat are you nuts? you have an exposed IP\nand are easy pickings\nat least get a router and hide behind that

Get one of the routers suggested by other folks as per your interest. I'm using Netgear and have found no problem with it.\n\nConnection will be like this\n>Modem --(RJ45 Cable)--->WiFi Router------>(RJ45 Cable)----> PC with LAN card\n>Laptop with WiFi LAN Card connects to router thru WiFi\n\n1.Get one Wifi router\n2.Change your modem IP to 192.168.0.1, If it is 192.168.1.1\n   (Because routers mostly have the same IP which will cause problem during automatic router config steps)\n3. Rest you can find in your router manual

Turn the firewall offf. Your router acts as a firewall and will conflict with the router...

Connect a router to your ISP, then connect your computers to the router.  The router will get an IP address from your ISP.  Set your computers to get their IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) from the router.  The router will assign non-routable IP addresses to your computers, therefore they cannot be seen on the ISP side of the router.\n\nThe router uses NAT, network address translation, to map packets to and from the ISP to the correct computer on your LAN.\n\nThis is a very standard setup.

Basically you set the router to act as a DHCP client and plug it into the cable modem. It is actaully easier that using DSL because there is no logon.
