How to have a wired connection with a wireless router?

Since you have a DSL router (we're talking about a DSL modem + router as one, right?), set it up to manage your internet connection. If it's a real router (and not one of these pseudo router that works through pppoe), then it's the router that control the internet connection (= no need to authentificate everytime you boot your computer).\n\nOnce this done, simply plug in your wireless router into your DSL modem/router as set the wireless router as a simple gateway. And voila.\n\nhope it helps.\n\nEdit: obviously, plug a wire from your DSL router to your computer ;). The thing is that the DSL modem/router is the master and the wireless router is the slave that routes packets from your wii to your DSL modem.

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)

if the router has an web interface you can configure it by connecting it via a utp cable to your computer and using youre browser. If it doesn't have one you nhave to configure it from console (usually you connect to the router via a serial port). Read the instructions that come with your router

Buy a linksys wireless router and buy 2 or 3 usb wireless G NIC, (Network Interface Cards) and install the USB nic's on each PC by running the software, but first directly connect the router to the PC and set it up. Then move to the USB NIC, plug your cable or dsl modem into the router and if the modem is near to one PC you will only need 2 wireless USB NIC's. Linksys.com has all the answers

It's easy.\n\nRun one ethernet cable from the DSL to the WAN port on the router.\n\nRun one cable from one of the 4 ports on the router to the PC.\n\nYou can either then run another cable from other 4 ports on the router to the laptop or you can set up the wireless. (if your laptop supports it)\n\nThen, just read the manual for the router on how to configure it.

Hi,\nAs far as I understand, this is what you are trying to do. You have a wireless network at home. Your computer is connected to it. You are installing a wired network (via a DSL modem). \nSo now you will have a wired connection as well as a wireless connection. \n\nThis is perfectly fine. There is no conflict as both are using different resources. Your computer would send /receive data through both the connections.

Yes, you need an ethernet router and some cables.  Hook the ethernet router to the cablemodem.  Then hook all your PCs into the router .  The router gets the IP from your cablemodem provider, your PCs get dynamic IPs from your router.\n\nWireless routers are cheaper than wired only.. but, be careful of these because they are lax in wireless security out of the box.  You will have to do extra configuration to tighten the security of the wireless portions.\n\nIf you need further information, email me.

Turn on the WiFi antenna switch, usually on the right side toward the back and you'll see a orange light come on. Then open your network connections and enable your wireless connection. First you need to view all wireless connections within range and choose  the wireless connection you want to use. If there are no wireless connections within range your computer won't work wireless. Unless you get a router and make your own wireless connection.

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.

You'll need a wireless router, and wireless capability in every device that you want to connect to it. If you have a computer that doesn't have wireless capability, you can buy a card to add that capability.\n\nOnce you have the equipment, you should follow the instructions that come with the equipment. If you aren't technically inclined, you can get someone to do it for you, like Best Buy's Geek Squad.

Yes the best wireless router you can use is Linksys WRT54G in this case you have a modem cum router so you will have an internal ip of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 something like that ,check that and follow the list. Please follow the list\n\n  \nPlease follow these directions to setup your Broadband modem:\n\nConnecting your Broadband Modem to the Router\n\n1.      First connect directly to your Broadband Modem without the router and verify that you can get on line.\n\n2.      Once you've verified that you can get onto the internet without the router please proceed. If you can not please contact your ISP for further assistance.\n\n3.      Now unplug the Ethernet cable that connects to your Broadband Modem from the back of your computer.\n\n4.      Take the connection that you just unplugged from the back of your computer and connect it to the WAN port of the router.\n\n5.      Take a different Ethernet cable and plug it into port closest to the WAN port, or into the LAN port.\n\n6.      Look on the front of the router.   The following lights should be illuminated:\n\n-           Power\n\n-           WAN Link\n\n-          Link/Act (On the port that you connected your computer to)\n\n-          Note If other lights other than Link/Act are illuminated on this port, that is normal\n\n-          You may have a few other lights illuminated depending on the model number router you have, but the 3 above must be illuminated for proper connection.\n\n7.      Hold the Reset button on the router for 30 seconds or more\n\n8.      Restart your computer\n\nConfiguring the Router\n\n1.      Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer (Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP)\n\n2.       When "Internet Explorer" opens type http://192.168.1.1 into the "Address" bar and click on Go\n\n3.      The "Enter Network Password" window will appear.\n\n4.

Click Apply\n\n**NOTE:  Once you click apply you will no longer access the router via http://192.168.1.1, but http://192.168.0.1\n\nFinishing the Setup\n\n1.      Shut down your PC.\n\n2.      Unplug the power from the back of the router.\n\n3.      Unplug the power from the modem.\n\n4.      Wait for 30 second.\n\n5.      Power up the modem.\n\n6.      Wait for the lights to stop blinking.\n\n7.      Power up the router.\n\n8.      Start up your computer.\n\n9.    Surf the internet.\n \n \n\nNow to setup wireless\n\nTypically most non-Linksys branded wireless adapters have their own built-in Configuration utilities. If unsure on how to use them, please see the Wireless Adapters documentation or contact the Manufacturer of the Wireless Adapter. If Windows XP is being used, then the Wireless Adapter may use Windows XP’s built-in configuration utility, which would be the same configuration as Linksys products under Windows XP. If this is the case, try the following instructions:\n\nClick on the Start button and click on the Run option. \nWhen the “Run” window opens, type ncpa.cpl into the “Open” field and click on the OK button. \nWhen the “Network Connections” window opens, right click on the Wireless Network Connection icon and click on the View Available Wireless Networks option. \nClick on the SSID that the Wireless Network is using (linksys is the default SSID on all Linksys Wireless products). \nAfter clicking on the SSID of the Wireless Network, there will be either a check box stating, Allow me to connect to the selected network, even though it is not secure, or “Network Key” and “Confirm network key” fields. \nIf there is a check box, check it, then click on the Connect button \nIf there are “Network Key” and “Confirm network key” fields, then input the Wireless Networks WEP Key, then click the Connect button. \nAfter clicking the “Connect

Yes. \nI assume that you have this situation:\n\nYou have a computer connected to a wireless computer via a cable.  \n\nYou have a second wireless computer that can normally access the first wireless computer. \n\nYou want to access the wired computer from the second wireless computer. \n\nThe key component of this problem is that the first wireless computer will have to bridge the network connections for that wired connection.  This is the principal behind "Internet Connection Sharing".  If you are using Windows XP,  on the first wireless computer you have to open "network connections" from the control panel.  Select the wired connection and right-click to reveal "Bridge Connections".  Bridge the wireless connection to the wired computer.  \n\nCAUTION: This will allow anywone else with a wireless connection access to both machines UNLESS you enable wireless security (such as WEP or better-- WPA, or WPA2) \n\nYou will now be able to connect to the wired computer by IP address from the second wireless computer.

Hi\n\n1) Plug the phone line into the back of the router (remember to fit a microfilter)\n\n2) Connect the Router to each of the PC's that you want to connect to the internet using either a network cable or a wireless card.\n\n3) In a web browser on one of the PC's that are connected to the router, enter the following in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. Press enter and you should reach you router config.  (if 192.168.0.1 doesn't work then have a look in your manual for the default IP of the router)\n\n4) In the config for the router there should be an option that allows you to enter your user name and password for you ISP. Enter the details that the ISP gave you into here and click 'connect'. Your router should now connect to the internet. (assuming you've entered all the correct details).\n\nGood luck!!
