how do you set up a wireless connection with a linksys wrt546?
101284
First install the router on the desktop. \nConnect the modem to the router\nconnect the router to the desktop\nthen, follow the user's manual instructions on how to set up dhcp services (i dont know how ur particular router would do that because all routers are different)\nthen configure your notebook for wireless access. \nmake sure u use WEP security so that no one accesses / uses ur connection.

its very simple, keep your network cables connected to the router and your computer.\n\n >now on your wired computer > open your web-browser \n > on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 to access\n    your router, if it aske you for a username and a password\n >type in: WRT54G(for username) & admin(for password) this is \n   case sensitive.\n\n >once you got in, on the Setup>Basic Setup, enable the DHCP   \n   setting.\n\n to enable wireless network:\n\n >on the wireless>basic wireless settings tab, hit the reset \n    security settings\n >move to the wireless security settings tab and disable the \n   security mode, although i dont recommend this disabled for \n   a long time someone might be access your wireless network\n   and mess up your files, try to learn how to work with security\n   modes such as WEP and WPA Personal to secure your    \n   wireless network.\n\ni dont know anybook about networking, but if you go to http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=144 and purchase a copy of this video, it covers a whole lot of things about basic networking and security and $70.00 is not bad. i highly recommend this video. it has a few sample videos you could watch, check it out and you might like it.

Either turn the wireless service on the PC on, or if it doesn't have one, you may need to buy a wireless 'dongle' that fits into a spare USB port on the PC. If you edit your post with more details (the PC and make of router) you'll get a more exact answer from some of the technical people here.

Probably the best place to get detailed info is from the router manual. If you don't have it, perhaps you can download it.\nI assume you need to go into router config utility and setup port forwarding on port 53.

None of the Desktop computers are wireless ready, unless you specifically order them that way. You will need to install PCI cards for one. I would recommend the Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with Speed Booster (Model #: WMP54GS, Web page: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416826820&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper ). Then, for your other computer, get a Wireless Broadband Router. I recommend the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with Speed Booster (Model #: WRT54GS Web page: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416825841&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper ).\n\nInstall your PCI card on the computer which doesn't have an internet access point close by. Then, on the computer which is currently connected to the internet, connect the internet to the Router, and the Router to the computer. Your computer with the router attached will have normal internet access. The computer with the PCI card will connect through a wireless network titled Linksys. Once you connect to this network, you will have internet access on both computers. If you don't get it working, call Linksys customer service, which is quite helpful.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nP.S. Don't go wireless for both computers--sometimes it will fail, and you won't have internet access on either computer. However, if one is wired and one isn't, most of the time you will have internet access on both computers, but if not, you at least have it on one! (Unless, of course, something goes wrong with your ISP)

It depends a lot, but here's the basic requirements and some information to get you going in the right direction. You'll need:\n\n1) a wireless router that is already set up and functioning\n2) physically insert / install the wireless card\n3) either a driver will load automatically for it, or (better option) if you have the drives on floppy / CD etc. install those drivers\n4) if the wireless router is "open" i.e. does not use encryption and the ssid (wireless network unique identifier for your network) has "broadcast" enabled, you should be able to get onto it immediately, though you might have to select the network if more than one is detected\n5) if "broadcast" is disabled, you'll need to manually enter the SSID in your sisters laptop once you have the wireless icon in the system tray in the lower right hand corner. Disabling broadcast "hides" the SSID so you just have to know it and tell the computer what it is the first time. (If you don't know any of this at all, you'll need to call a friend. Full details are out of scope for this response and forum.)\n6) if WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) security is enabled, you'll need to enter the WEP key you generated upon setup of the router, and select the right channel. Follow similar procedure if WPA was used, you'll need to consult your documentation for that since I'm not as familiar with it.\n\nOnce the ssid is set up and WEP key entered (if required), you should be able to get onto the wireless network. It might be a good idea to reboot your PC after you set it up the first time.\n\nBe patient and persistent, and don't be afraid to read the documentation. The instructions I have seen for my Linksys wireless router for example were pretty good and clear.\n\nGood luck!

If you just installed your Linksys (assuming you have something like a WRT54G or similar) then open your web broswer and go to 192.168.1.1 and the default login username is admin with password admin.  First things first, CHANGE the default password.  \n\nNow, under Wireless and then Basic Wireless Settings, you might want to change your SSID to something other than the default "linksys".  You can also disable the SSID broadcast, but don't let anyone tell you that's a security measure.  This is a common misconception.  SSID broadcast supression is not meant to be a security feature, it only supresses the SSID in the beacon messages only and doesn't protect you from wireless attacks, turning off SSID broadcast is more to prevent accidental associations.\n\nNext, under Wireless and then Wireless Security, you can select WEP (minimal protection) or WPA PreSharedKey (preferred).  WEP is weak and easily cracked for someone who knows how to do it with the right tools and is within range of your network.  I like to say "WEP keeps your honest neighbors honest" and leave it at that.  Most secure is to use WPA PSK with the AES algorithm, and use a decent length key, a passphrase of some sort up to 63 characters, the longer the better.  Whichever you choose, WEP or WPA, you'll configure this on both your wireless router or access point, as well as the wireless client machines themselves.  If/when you install a Linksys or other PCI card, or maybe a PCMCIA card in a laptop, you will use the client utility to connect to your SSID and provide the WEP or WPA info the same way.  Or perhaps you have a laptop with a built-in 802.11 radio and you will use the Windows wireless network config tool... right click My Network Places and select Properties, then right click your wireless network connection and select Properties, then select the Wireless Network tab and you can configure it from there.\n\nFinally, you can also use wireless MAC address filtering (the next tab to the right of Wireless Security) to lock down the access point so it will only accept frames from the MAC addresses you decide to allow.  On your wireless PC bring up a command prompt (start, Run, "cmd") and give the command "ipconfig /all" and you'll see the MAC address of 12 hexadecimal digits.  You can put this MAC address, such as 00:16:6F:7A:B8:15, into the list, and select the option to "Permit Only" those MAC addresses.\n\nHope this helps, good luck.

I have linksys wrt54g. I love it and so will you. It's pretty easy to install. It will work well with comcast which I have too.

Hook up the eithernet cable that comes with the router between the modem and the WAN port. Start up your laptop, make sure you have WiFi in the laptop on, right click on the icon at the bottom right of your screen with a red x on it, as click view available wireless networks, pick the one thats called default or something like that. It will be unsecure, you should login to the router and enable WEP encription. Read the manual that came with the router it will tell you how to do all this.

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

You need to reset the router to its default configuration... and you'll have to consult Linksys for that, http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037290855&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\n\nAnd after you have reset it, you will have to configure it for your connection, you know, allow it to detect the IP, DHCP and all that good stuff...

yes, for that reason you need a wireless router like the linksys WRT54G (GS)\nyou hook then the router to the modem and the Mac to the router. the laptop PC can then be connected to the router wirelessly.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124136\n\nSetting up the router:\n1. change the password of the router\n2. set up an SSID (any name you want)\n3. disable SSID broadcast\nfor your privacy and security\n4. set up an encryption, either WEP or WPA (this prevent from using your internet connection by your neighbors) and has also to be done on the laptop that is using the wireless connection.\n5. addionally you can set up MAC filtering (this has nothing to do with Mac PCs). this can be done (voluntary) to permit only registered PCs to use a wireless network.

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)
