does router can be receiver?

I think yes...check a networking website...

You can attach a antenna that can greatly increase the range of the router. Or you may buy a new router that has a longer range. the decision is up to you, but i would choose the antenna, it is cheaper and a way better way to increase the range\n\n\n-Solid Snake

You can make your wireless router act as a router instead of a gateway, then either configure each of the machines with your public IP's or configure your router to hand out those 5 IP's through DHCP.\n\nOr, you can leave your router as a gateway, use only one of the public IP's (for the router) and have the router do NAT.

To boost the signal of your wireless router I would recommend buying a suitable enhanced antenna from your local computer store. They are designed to work with your router. There are also signal boosting devices that can be used throughout your home/office to help increase your signal coverage and wipe out dead spots.\n\nAs for the Sat dish; if you want to be Dr. Frankenstein and experiment you can go to your local Radio Shack and get the proper adapters to convert the connection from one to the other. Not sure if they will have the proper adapter for the router though. You may have to improvise. Will you succeed? I am very doubtful. Sat dishes are used to RECEIVE SIGNALS, not TRANSMIT! You may get better luck just using the coax cable used with the dish. But then again, stranger things have happened...

It's actually possible with some broadband routers. If it has both a usb and an ethernet connection, try installing the usb on one and the ethernet on the other.

As many connections you have.  A router would allocate the connection request anyway.  How many do you want to add, 100?  I would add no more than 5.

A "router" is a connection between two networks, for\na home system, it connects your home network with\n"the internet".  In this situation, a router's job is\nto take packets from the internet and redirect them to\n(or accept them from) any of the systems in your home.\n\nIt's *also* common to combine the router functionality\nwith that of a wireless base station.\n\nSince you have a d-link g510, you'll want to get a\n802.11G wireless router as well.  This will connect\nto your cable or DSL modem to provide access to the\ninternet.\n\nFor a more complete description of what a router is,\nsee the reference below.

It would seem that it's possible, given the dialog going on at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=366661 after googling ""Netgear WG311" Slackware."

hmm.. most wireless routers nowadays have built in firewalls.. its only a matter of it being activated or not.. just type in the ip address(gateway) of ur router through ur internet browser.. and do the checking..

Several options...\n\nYou can add a high-gain antenna to your router, if it has a detachable antenna type...\n\nYou can add a "Wireless access point" at a different location in the building...\n\nYou might consider re-locating your router...  perhaps it's in a shielded spot..\n\nYou can get a "repeater" which is connected through the building power wiring (though I've never actually tested one of these, and have my doubts about the bandwidth...)\n\nAn "amplifier"? No, because that would put your router outside the limits in the regulations - and probably do all kinds of horrid things to the signal. In addition, yo'd need one at each end of the link...\n\nYou could try a router with a MIMO adatptive antenna system, that might help.\n\nYou could also look at systems like Pre-N, which supposedly has a better range, though you'll need to replace all your devices with Pre-N compatible ones, to get the benefit.

Cheap receivers are possible.  Take AM radio, for example.  It is very wasteful of bandwidth compared to a digital transmission.  However, you can receive AM with a simple envelope detector.  You can receive AM with a "crystal radio"  constructed with only a diode, a coil, a capacitor, and a pair of headphones.

A wireless router is not what you need to connect to your dad's network.  What you need is a wireless receiver for your computer, depending on the distance from your computer to your dad's house you should be able to pick up the signal.

Almost all wireless routers have a utility screen that allows you to "see" the wireless connections that are present. You can always ping your networks broadcast address to invoke activity from all "listening" devices, and then check the computer arp table to see a list of devices.

Not unless it's part of your hardware package from the broadband provider, and if they have a "rental" fee for the router part of it.\n\nSeriously doubt that's your situation though.

You can depending on the network that you'll be plugging into. I'd suggest using a "Wireless Access Point" in place of the router. It will do the same thing, without the headaches that can come from putting a router in that location.\n\nIf you want to use a router, check to see what the admin has for issuing IP's. Set your routers "WAN" side config to what is needed to gain an IP, and verify that the router was issued an IP. Once that is done, make sure that your routers LAN IP range is NOT the same as your WAN's range. (eg. WAN IP's are 192.168.0.1-255, set LAN's IP ranges to 192.168.1.1-255) This will help prevent problems in the future.  \n\nWhat you are trying to do is possible, it all depends on how you want to make it happen. Using an "access point" might be a bit more expensive, but it will just be plug and play. Using a router will work, but it will be a bit more involved and might cause more problems in the future. Good luck.

hello ! it's about the router ... if it is a cheap one with basic NAT, you need to upgrade to a router with enhanced NAT capabilities. Sorry, there is no other solution ...

Yes.. Get a wireless router, plugged from your WIRED router into the WAN port of the Wireless router, make sure that the WIRELESS router is pointing to your WIRED router as the gateway, and ALSO make sure the Internal IP addresses are different. Also, get a wireless NIC card. That's it :)
