Can I set up two wireless security networks on my router?

I have read the earlier post that was similar, but I have a different router. I have a WRT160Nv3. I have set up WPA2 security and it works great. My son is upset because he can no longer access the WiFi with his DS. He has several games that allow him to play with others online. The DS games use only unsecured or WEP, anything stronger and they don't work. Is there anyway to open one port for the DS?

No. Either you use WEP security and have the high risk that your wireless network is quickly cracked or you stick with the secure WPA2. In the latter case your son should get a new DSi which supports WPA2 security.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

  • Can you set up a wireless network/router using only the iPad?

    Can you set up a wireless network/modem/router using only an iPad - if you don't have a computer?

    You actually can as most routers come with a web interface that lets you tinker with all things with regard to set up and connection.
    You have to choose though as there are other routers that would require you to plug-it in to a computer first, as they have a desktop application to make way for easier set-up.
    But for everything else, it is done through a web client which is just like accessing any web site.

  • HP 6300 all in one can't set up for wireless use

    can't set up for wireless use

    That is because the printer does not support wireless connectivity to a router.  You can with an optional Bluetooth adapter to one computer wireless.  However since this has an Ethernet connection you can connect it to your router via this or you can use the below information to convert your Ethernet wired printer to wireless.
    Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

  • Can I set up a wi-fi network using only my iPad?

    My rural area is finally getting high-speed cable internet, which means I can ditch my 3G plan, get wi-fi, and turn into a movie-streaming couch potato. Besides my iPad, I have an ancient Compaq desktop which I would like to dispose of. However, I don't want to do this until I know I can proceed with the following: Can I set up a wi-fi network in my home with just my iPad? Or do I need to keep my PC to set up and maintain the wi-fi network? Or alternatively, can I use the PC to start the wi-fi network, then get rid of it? Or do I need it at all--is my [updated] iPad 2 all I need to set up the network (besides the obvious modem/router, etc?).  Thank you very much.

    You will need the cable internet service and a wireless router (usually provided by the cable company). Most routers are configured through a web page and I think you should be able to do that from your iPad in the event you ever need to change anything.

  • Can I set up two ITune accounts on one MacBook?

    Can I set up two seperate ITune accounts on one MacBook? If so, how?

    Exactly what do you mean by set up?
    In iTunes you can authorize more than one iTunes accounts using the 'Authorize This Computer…' command under the Store menu. Run the commend twice for each account.
    Here's an article that explains what I'm talking about.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

  • Problem with wireless secured network in hotels

    Hello,
    I'm a cabin crew member and I travel around the world almost every week. Since the update ios 6.0, my Iphone 4 16 GB doesn't connect automatically on the wireless secured network of hotels, while it worked before the update in the same hotels. My Iphone still connects automatically on my own home network, but I must ask every time to the help desk of hotels for manually connecting, by registering my mac adress on the router. Problems in Japan (Tokyo), USA (New-York, Washington, LA) and Senegal (Dakar). I'm really upset and Apple seems not concerned. Please help me.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I'm not so familiar with Linux, though've installed and dealed with some distrs, but as far as i know they're mostly compatible with each other.
    So, check this forum (though it's Ubuntu) and try to find solution there, if no one here helps.
    Also there's a member here called wyth, which helped some Ubuntu-users, which was great. Try PM him if no help here or on that forum.
