check the domain names setup for those wireless connected computers. I think it should not have any DNS entries for them. I am using belkin 54g wireless router at home, I easily use it. no pblms till now.

You can make a "bridge" with the second one.\nAnd then both will be in the same network and internet connection.\n\nYou can also force the second wireless to operate in a different channel than the first one (protocol 802.11b has 13 channels), so you will have 2 wireless networks completely independent from each other.

Setting up network is complex. Setting up wireless is more complex. And then security adds more complextiy still. It is possible to do it "all in one shot." However doing so will make it nearly impossible to identify where the installation went wrong. Instead, my recommendation is to do this a step at a time, performing each step on the web page that manages your router and on the configuraion utility on PC. After step 2, ensure that you still have a connection, then move on to the next step.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAnd, whether you are working on a wired or wireless network, it is recommended that you configure the router while using a wired connection\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nIf you have DSL/PPPoE, ensure that you have your logon information before you start.\n\n1. Download and install the latest firmware for the router from the manufacturer's website\n2. Download and install the latest drivers and configuration utilty for your PC from the manufacturer's website Wired and Wireless. For wireless do not use the Windows WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) Utility. It has many known problems, including inability to see connections and dropping connections\n3. Perform a hard reset (typically by pressing and holding a pin/button on the back of the router) to reset the router to factory configuration.\n4. (Wireless only) Remove any configuration of your wireless card on the PC, if the card was previously configured\n5. (Wireless only) If you have a multi-mode router (b,g, pre-N), make sure your router is set to support the right networks. (Some of these routers (e.g.Linksys) can be set for specific networks. For example, if you have both b and g devices, you must set the router to "mixed mode" for both to connect)\n\nOnce you have done this, you should access your router's web page to\n\n6. Change your routers password\n7. Configure your network connection type. For DSL, you typically need to set it as PPPoE, and then enter your logon/password information. For cable modem, you typically needs to set it to DHCP. No logon or password is required. (DHCP for cable modem is usually the default)\n8. Enable IPSec Passthrough if you need to connect to a VPN at the office\n9. (Wireless only) Set SSID to your desired setting on router (not the default) and laptops/PCs and verify connectivity to the internet from each laptop / PC Required for wireless only\n10. (Wireless only) Disable SSID broadbast on the router and verify connectiviy (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only\n11. (Wireless only) Set WEP/WPA/WPA2 and verify connectivity (WEP/WPA/WPA2 should be set to something different than the SSID) (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only See security note below\n12. (Wireless only) (Optional depending on how paranoid you are) Set MAC filtering and verify \n13. (Optional if hosting games) Configure DMZ \n\n\nNote: Routers now frequently come with autoconfiguration setup software. While there is nothing wrong with this software, you should be aware that this software often does not support non standard configuations (e.g. LAN only, no internet) or all capabilities. (e.g. MAC ID filtering). If your needs extend beyond what the autoconfiguration tool supports, then perform a manual configuration by accessing your router's web page\n\nSecurity noteOnly WPA/WPA2 is not easily hacked. Any other type of security should only be viewed as enough to stop casual eavesdropping. If you use WEP you should expect that if someone wants your data, that they can get it.\n\nPLEASE GO THROUGH THIS TOOV V V V V V V \nhttp://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_zdpcm/is_200403/ai_ziff120551

make sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key (the password you got probably)\n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to give neighbour your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

It might be a IRQ issue try taking out the network card not the wireless card if you have one and then try it again.

If email is not an option then please let us know how the computers are physically connected together, if you have put any info into the network cards on the computer, what green lights are on at the connections, etc. I am not sure what you mean by installing the router program and resetting it. Do you mean you reinstalled the operating system on the router and that you dumped the old configuration by resetting it? This format ( answers.yahoo.com )for troubleshooting is extremely difficult because we cannot get feedback.\n Did anyone change any of the network settings in the new computer that was replaced before you got it? \nThank You.

You probably need to call your tech support about that problem..I run two computer's from a router all the time and both have equal speed

They should hook up automatically, most wireless routers allow upto 4 wireless devices.  Be more specific, what devices?

Try uninstalling and re-installing your Wireless Drivers.  Also, sometimes completely resetting your router back to factory defaults, then re-configuring is a great way to resolve connection issues.  What kind of router are you using?  Your laptop has a Built-in 10/100/ BASE-T Ethernet; 56K (V.90) modem, and a  54-Mbps wireless LAN (802.11b/g) .  Try direct linking your computer to your router to see if you have the same issues.  If not, than it's a problem with your wirelss card.

G'day,\n\nI do not think that wireless router can talk to another wireless router.  I have a friend who was in similar situation as yours and he is getting the device from Linksys and it works for him.  Please follow the links (Linksys WGA54G).\n\nHope this helps and good luck.

Your not giving enough information to properly troubleshoot the problem. There could be a many number issues why your wireless connection from the way you have it setup, software problems, or hardware issues. Please give more details of your problem in your next question.

Sounds like you're trying to do everything right.  Firewalls are the #1 issue, but those are disabled.\nFirst, I would check the IP addresses for all computers to make sure they're on the same subnet.  If your wireless computers are getting a different IP range than your wired, you'll have problems networking them peer-to-peer.\nSecond, I would try again from scratch.  Pick a different workgroup name and join all four computers to the new workgroup.

You can connect two computers without a router, simply by connecting the ethernet ports, then one of them can connect to the internet and the other can share the connection by way of the Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) facility.  I'm doing it right now and it all works fine.  Send your router back!

so the router is connected to your internet modem, your PC is wired to the router, and your notebook connects wirelessly?\n\nIf that it the case, it sounds like your wireless connection might not be working so good. Have you tried connecting your notebook by wire and see if the surfing is better?

i hve a linksys as well and have no trouble with wep.  in theory, enabling wep should only affect wireless traffic (not the net connection), so I would check to make sure you have the internet cat5 in the right plug then take it back and get a new router- if you're good at this stuff then configuring wep shouldnt do anything bad- assume it's bad hardware once and give it a go w/ another unit.

OK, I am going to give it a shot.  If you can, let us know your operating system, that can also make a large difference.\n\nQuite often, I see this when the router was not configured properly.  You may have to put your username and password into it, so it can log you into your ISP.\n\nMake sure it has DHCP enabled, and that DHCP is also enabled on the other computers.  Without an IP address the router recognized, your computers will not be able to get on the internet.  And make sure that each computer has a different network ID.  If you use any NT based OS (NT, Win2K, XP) you may need to make sure they are all members of the same workgroup.  This does not always matter, but on some routers it does.\n\nIf all this is correct, try disconnecting the power to the modem and router for about 10 minutes, and turn off all the computers.  This will let it grab gresh information from your ISP.\n\nOne last thing, go into your IE Properties, and go to Connection/Lan Settings, and make sure that "Automatically Detect Settings" is turned on.\n\nIf this does not work, more info will help to pin the problem down more precisely.

I'm gonna take a shot on this and say it is an encryption issue. Both sides of the connection (the router and your computer) must be enabled with identical encryption code. If they are NOT the same, they will not connect. Also, look into changing channels. This can be the culprit as well.\nSetup one computer at a time and then move on to the next one.\n\nHope this helps!
