Connecting Hardwire IP Phone to Wireless ADSL Router

I have a Mitel 5340 IP Phone that doesn't have wireless capability. I currently have a Westell 327W ADSL router with wireless capability. The router is in room X. The PC and IP Phone are in room Y. The PC works fine with wireless, but I can't connect the phone through the computer. How do I get wireless to my phone? Wondering if I can purchase a linksys router/AP that I can pick up the signal from my Westell and plug the phone into it. Or if I can purchase a CAT5 to USB adaptor to work with a wireless antenna to pick up signal.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!

I am afraid, there is no wireless USB adapter that could make your IP Pone wireless, a Wireless Adapter is not just plug and play, in order to use any wireless adapter you have to install it's drivers...

Connecting AE to non-apple wireless adsl router (Belkin)

Hi,
I have an Wireless VoIP ADSL router (Belkin) that was provided by my ISP that I use for my home phone and Internet access. It is only a/b/g capable. I currently use it to wirelessly connect to the Internet and other computers on the wireless/wired network from my Macbook Pro. My Macbook Pro has my iTunes and music on it.
I am wondering if I can purchase the AE to plug in by my stereo and connect it wirelessly to the Belkin so that I can stream music to the stereo from the Macbook Pro via the Belkin (eg. Macbook -> Belkin -> AE). I would also like to use the Ethernet port on the AE by the stereo to connect a media center into the wireless network (the media center only has an ethernet port - no wireless built in).
If this won't work will I be able to just run the AE as a 2nd wireless AP and connect to it directly from the Macbook Pro when I want to play tunes through the AE? This would not be ideal as I would in theory only be able to connect to either the AE for music streaming or the Belkin for Internet access.
Can the Macbook connect to the Belkin via 802.11a or g for instance and the AE using 802.11n at the same time?
Thanks,
Graham

Yes, you should be able to do this with the newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). Because you have a requirement to have the AXn's Ethernet port enabled, you would just need to reconfigure the AXn as a ProxySTA.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. The feature should work with any wireless network: a, b, g, or n; and 5GHz or 2.4GHz. (Note that the Express, which ships with firmware 7.3, must also be updated to firmware 7.3.1 for this feature to appear.)

Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router/newbie

Hello Everyone,
I have just signed up to eclipse to get broadband.
I have wanted to go wireless so I picked the
Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router
This needs to work with Both my PC (Medion/Intel Pentium 4E, 3200 MHz)
and my Mac (G4 400Mhz OSX) (at the moment they are connected by an ethernet lead).
Not knowing that Netgear Router doesnt support
Mac wirelessly but for the pc you can use
Netgear 802.11G WIRELESS USB Adapter – WG111
So my problem is what can I use with this
router so I can use it wirelessly with my Mac
At the netgear forums I was told I would have to get
a network adapter is this correct?
please help...

As Donald said, an AirPort Extreme card will not work in your G4 400 MHz.
If your G4 400 MHz is a very early model based on the Yikes! architecture, it does not have any internal slot.
If your G4 400 MHz is based on the Sawtooth architecture, it has a slot for the original AirPort card.
You can use the information in KB 58418, Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models to determine which Power Mac G4 you have.
If your Power Mac G4 doesn't have an internal slot or if you can't get an original AirPort card, I would suggest either a Mac compatible PCI wireless card or an Ethernet wireless adapter. The Ethernet wireless adapter does not require any drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device regardless of OS.
Unlike Donald I do not recommend any USB wireless adapters. These require drivers that must match the version of Mac OS that you are using. Frequently these drivers are incompatible with OS X and other software installed on the Mac. Many people have tried them and given up.

Or you could find an app that provides this feature.

Connecting A100-306 & Desktop via Wireless Modem/Router: access is denied

I am attempting to file/printer share between my A100-306 laptop and desktop units.
I have used the Windows Wizard to create internet connection/LAN.
This has been successful with the internet connection (via Belkin 54g Modem/Wireless Router) but my "Troarn" LAN doesn't seem to be recognised by the laptop.
When I interrogate, on the laptop, My Network places/View Workgroup Computers, the page is blank!!
But when I interrogate, on the Desktop, My Network places/View Workgroup Computers, both computers are shown. If I attempt, on the Desktop, to connect access is denied.
Has anyone got any suggestions??

Hi
- Check if you have disabled the firewalls on the notebook.
- Be sure that every computer is placed in the same workgroup.
- Check the TCP/IP protocol settings.
If one computer has IP address 168.192.50.1 the other should has for example 168.192.50.2 and so on.
- If you want to access any folders you should set the rights for sharing this folder.

Wireless adsl router recommendations...best range.

Im having the same horrible issue's everyone else is complaining about...had a new airport car & new logic board installed but still having issue's. I can't seem to get anymore than 10 meters away from the adsl router without the signal getting so low you can't surf. I've tried without the only 2 things I can think that would interfere (microwave & cordless phone) but it makes no difference.
I've tried a D-link G604T & a Belkin Mimo G+ and the D-link was better....anyone have good success with any other specific model??
Im going to take the unit to my place & test the range there & at work as well....just make sure it's not something funny at there place.
Cheers
KiwiMR2

Well I have the unit here at home with me & I can get half way down the drive (a good 20 metres) in windows & still get 500-1000 kpbs speed so that's fine. I can about 5 metres less using the Mac OS. Why might that be??
So it's probably the location of the router.
What I have experianced in the last 30 mins is randomly while Im using the mac side the screen goes completly blue for a second or two then bback to normal. Has only done it 2-3 times in the last 10m mins but prior to that it was none stop every 10 secs & I had to re-boot.

How to connect my stack to my wireless access router(with hard connection ports)

Ok, here is the story. I have my cisco stack of routers and switches in my living room and my fiancee is getting on my case to move it. I can not go downstairs since she keeps the temp in the house at 58 degrees upstairs so I want a way to connect my stack to the access router network so I can access my stack from anywhere in the house. I have a 3640 with a 32 port async module in it for my access server to connect to the other devices. The devices are a 2 3550 24 port switches, a 48 port 3750 with poe, a 24 port 3560, and a 2950g 24 port switch. For the routers I have the 3640 for the access server, a 3745, 3725, 3825, 2620xm and 2 1841 ISR Routers. I believe I need to connect it to the hard ethernet port with another ethernet port on one of the routers but which one and whether it has to be a router or if a switch port would work if it was trunking. I would appreciate any documentation or actual help if possible asap so I can not get yelled at when I am training.
Thanks everyone,
Jamie

Hi there, these instructions should work best for you.

Wireless ADSL router

Hi.
Can anyone recommend a wireless router (not Netgear!) that works exceptionally well with Mac's.
I have a G5 iMac and a 'late 2008' MacBook. When I first got the MacBook it worked like a dream online... perfect internet connection and always top-speed. Since a few software updates (presumably) the MacBook has been getting worse and worse at connecting to the internet. I know it's not my internet connection causing the problem, my ISP has checked it on numerous occasions and everything is fine.
When I connect to the router using an ethernet cable it's works flawlessly 9.5 times out of 10. Wirelessly using Airport? I'm lucky if it works for more than 10 minutes at a time and when it does the internet connection CRAWLS. I should be getting 1.1mb a second (it has happened, I have seen it), but it starts at maybe 400k a second and slowly gets slower until it's about 20k a second then stops.
I have to restart both the router AND the laptop to get it working again.
I know these boards have been awash with people moaning how bad it all is, and I was pinning my hopes on 10.5.7 sorting the problem out but it hasn't.
I remember reading somewhere that someone swapped their Netgear router for another brand and it solved the problem... can someone who either has experienced these problems and solved them with a new router recommend something or maybe someone out there has never experienced this and has a happy internet life with their original hardware setup.
I can't see Apple fixing this and whilst I begrudge having to spend money to fix something that didn't used to happen I feel it is the only way to resolve this – a small outlay for a happy life is well worth it – I need my connection!!!
Thanks.

Hi again,
well, i don't know. it might be worth the effort, but it costs also quite a number of bugs ... And at the end the Apple devices should work just to the same specs as all others since they comply with some standard 811-blabla. --
Could you try with an AE which you can borrow from a friend? that might give you an impression of what the situation might become before you spend the money.
In my Airport express i can chose the channel number, and i can go to a different region of the spectrum (i think that is meant with channel). this certainly had an influence, when i set up my system (it runs now for 4 years, i think). I don't know whether this is possible for all wireless routers. You could also think in changing the location and/or orientation of your wireless modem or of the computers.
Another thing which i would try, probably before the others: go with the laptop close to the base station, and then increase the distance in some steps. Take enough time at each step to make sure you have stable conditions - or to make sure it is already fading away. Also make sure that there is no wall with iron between the base station and your computers..
Last not least: you see 10+ networks; there might be "hidden" ones as well. are they all connected to the same cabletree? (in my place it would be so). Then you can calculate that the maximum speed which YOU see, at best can be the providers speed divided by 10+ (or even 20). Well, i know, it is more complex than this, but many users on the same provider cable share this cable, and can suffer, when theire are too many users ...
Hope this helps
Thomas

Netgear Wireless ADSL Router DG 834G

I am using the DG 834G router with a 700 Mhz iMac G4 Power PC Flat panel and a 12 " Powerbook 1.5 Ghz Power Pc G4 Lap Top. The system works well but I want to password protect my system. I have the instructions on how to pass word protect my system. I am stuck when the instructions tell me to select encryption strength. There are multiple selections and I do not know which one refers to my Macs.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Mike

Mike,I don't understand the term "64-bit driver" although....
If you were using the older WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) security option you would have the choice of 64bit WEP(which is also known as 40bit due to it having 24bits overhead) or 128bit WEP encryption.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is the easier (and Apple recommended - read this) option as it's more widely compatible - although I don't think it was implemented in OS 9 if any of your machines still use that.
The main thing is that whatever you configure needs to be the same throughout the setup. So set the router, iMac and PB all to WPA.
You can also set MAC blocking (that's Media Access Control not Macintosh!) on the router which means that you enter your computer's Airport/Ethernet hardware details and your router will only talk to hardware on the list.

Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way - we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network.

I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network. I have to reselect it everytime I come to work.

Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings will "forget" all WiFi networks so you can select them again.
If the problem with your company network is not solved by doing this, are there multiple sites that have the same network name for the company network? Or is it the default network name for the router type (e.g., DLINK, LINKSYS, etc)? If so, this is what is causing the problem and there is no solution other than convincing IT that it is a bad idea to have duplicate network names.

Connecting Belkin N150 ADSL Router *** Modem with TimeCapsule

I have an N150 Belkin Wireless ADSL modem *** Router. I want to buy Timecapsule for automatic backup (for iPhone, PC, MBP) and to use the Dual Band
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router

Time capsule is not for backup of iphone.. there is no direct link.. apple uses itunes to backup the iphone, which can be either on your computer or icloud. Time Machine which is the smarts of the system is software in the Mac that will backup itunes to the TC. The TC is a hard disk in a router. .it has no smarts whatsoever.
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
Nobody but you can answer the question. TC is a more reliable unit for TM backup. 3rd party can work but lots of them have issues. Check via google if people have found the seagate NAS reliable for TM.. you need to use the exact model you want to purchase. The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for TM backups by laptops. If you store files on it, there is no way to backup the files without using another disk, like USB drive plugged into the TC and manually doing the backup.
5ghz is much faster than 2.4ghz but has very limited range.. ie it is for use in the same room and perhaps the next one.. no further than that. For many people buying 5ghz turns out to be a waste of time, unless you can arrange the router in the room you are working in.
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router
You can either keep your belkin as the main router.. and just bridge the TC.. that will not hinder its usage at all except for icloud where the TC needs to be the main router..
Or bridge the belkin and use the TC as main router. The ISP must support PPPoE authentication for this to work.. check your ISP.

Trying to connect my wireless g router

Hi,
I am trying to connect my wireless g router (WRT54G) to my cisco router from my company. My cisco router was configured by my company so that I can use the office phone. I need wireless access in my house (I work from home), and so I am trying to connect the WRT54G to the cisco router.
I followed the instructions on the setup CD, and it got to the point where it checks the configuration, and then it crashes, and wants to send an error report to microsoft (which I don't understand, but is another question for another time!)
I am completely at a loss here, and don't know what to do. I barely understand this whole internet/router/W.A.P./network thing as it is, and am frusterated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Shelley

Don't use the CD. You are running behind a router already and you don't want to set up two chained routers. Instead set up the WRT as access points like this. Be sure to pick a valid and free LAN IP address in your current LAN for the WRT.
To secure the wireless you also have to do the following:
* Change the wireless network name (SSID) from "linksys" to something unique (Wireless tab).
* Enable wireless security. Use WPA2 Personal or WPA Personal. Use AES+TKIP for WPA2 or TKIP for WPA. Enter a strong passphrase.
* Change the default password of the router ("admin") on the Administration tab.
