wireless router

Sorry, I've been on the road constantly over the last couple weeks. I will head downstairs and dig through my archived CDs. It should at least offer a framework for you to customize.

Just bought a new wireless router - D-Link DIR 825. It says it has the dual broadband connection, etc.

So I went through the set-up wizard and now want to connect my devices to it. Does anyone know a good site or link for d-link products where is runs you step by step on how to assign addresses for your wireless items? Or if any ports should be opened, etc.?

It's up and running, but I want it so I can have each wireless device to have it's own connection to the wireless router.

On a second note, what wireless router and brand provides the BEST of the BEST range. It being able to go through walls and floors in the household. The problem is the modem is in a secluded area in the household and it is staying there.

Thx

Okay, I just got a new Wireless N Router for our rink, hooked up, and ready to go. Now, I have the password set up, but is there a way I can set it up, so when we charge someone, they don't just go tell everyone what the password is. We don't have a large bandwidth, so in order to upgrade, I wanna charge for access to offset the cost of upgrading, I'm thinking 15-20 bucks per PC per season. Also, if someone has a copy of a Good Code of Conduct Waiver they can send me, let me know.

Here's a suggestion that I think would prevent people from giving away the password or at least, if they do, it will only affect you moneywise for a short period.

Instead of charging 15-20 dollars a year, why don't you charge 2 dollars a day instead and change your password everyday. Changing the password isn't very difficult nor time consuming so you could have a new password everyday and people would pay when they use it. I think that people would be willing to pay 2 bucks a day and you may offer a yearly package if you'd like to those who don't mind paying 20 bucks a year. They would only need to stop by your shop to find out what the day's password is.

I have a Netgear on the 2nd floor of my house. I can get access all the way to my neighbor's house (across the street and two houses down) with no drop in performance.

Pulling a thread out of the dead; but I need help ASAP -

Having internet issues for quite some time now; I discovered it is family members on the network who are crippling the speed by downloading movies and such.

The problem is that I need a strong connection for many reasons; I have VoIP phone as well as a femtocell for my cell phone as I get bad service here. It is at the point that I have to get in my car and drive 3 mi down the road to make a phone call, as well as take 5 min to process a registration on MSH as I was getting .10 mbps download.

My thought was to buy a new router and run my laptop, VoIP, femtocell and XBOX 360 through the new router, then daisy-chain the second router to it, and they can have at their own network, with lowest priority QoS-wise. I bought one today, but it's not working out that way; speeds are fine on both networks, however the XBOX is hard-wired and the speed was really bad, to the point I had to shut it off, even though it was the only thing online. Not to mention, VoIP and cellphone service is still very spotty.

At a loss here, I really need help.

My only advice would be to throttle the family member's IP enough so you can do everything else you want.

Without getting another connection this is your best bet, that I can think of.

I'm really trying to be discreet about this.

for anyone who wants to know what routers are good - this website is pretty spot on.

as far as JR's question goes - is whatever family members are sucking up your bandwidth hard wired or wireless?

a lot of what you can do depends on what features your router has - QOS is probably the way to go.

im not sure how daisy chaining routers would solve the problem since you still are sharing one internet connection?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Wireless.

The only things in the house that are wireless are the laptops. Those other peripherals are hardwired.

Yeah, but I'm hoping to essentially have two networks; mine with all of the peripherals, and theirs, and just give low priority to that router.

[camhockey16 5]

what router do you have? because that is going to determine what you can or can't do.. does it even have QOS settings?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Yes. I bought a Netgear WNDR4000.

I mean, it's all set up, both routers and networks are working. Things are fine now and haven't experienced a slowdown.

I figured out the XBOX problem; the gateway and subnet mask were manually entered; once I changed it, it is fine.

lol glad i could help! - i think?
