Does the router need a desktop in order to work?

I have 2 computers in my house, laptop and desktop. I had my FIOS router connected to my desktop upstairs and the desktop had just recently completely broke and now the laptop finds the FIOS router wi-fi but it can't connect properly.
Any information for me on this topic? Do I need to buy a new desktop or can I just have the router sending a signal to my lappy? 
Thanks in advance everyone.

what operating system do you have? 
There are a couple of things you should probably do to get connected.
1. you should delete the wireless profile for this connection and start fresh.
and then
2. you should attempt to connect on each channel.   directions to change the channels are below.
change the wireless signal.  you can do that in the router.   open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
user name is admin.  and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it.
}Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security.   then go to option 3 which is channel
1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply.,
after you hit apply,  test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6,     test it out.  and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File.  It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

  • What does the DBA need to do to grant privileges so I can CREATE DIRECTORY

    Hello,
    What does the DBA need to do in order to grant privileges to:
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY douglas_my_files as 'C:\Documents and Settings';
    This is what SQL Navigator says:
    [1]: (Error): ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    Thanks
    Doug

    Also, note that a directory object can only point to a directory on the database server, not on your client machine... Unless you have your own My Documents folder on the database, which would be a tad unusual, this probably won't work regardless of the permissions your DBA gives you.

  • I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    The following model is airprint compatible, is this the one you have?
    HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP
    If not the "dnf MFP" model, then no.
    The router needs to support the Bonjour protocol.  If not, the airprint won't work.

  • Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

    Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • Does the DOA need to be an session bean as well?

    Hi there,
    I been working in this problem for days, I am a bit confuse, I have created a session bean which contains biz logic and EAO layer,
    I understand that we can get the persistence in EJB with @PersistenceContext private EntityManager em;
    Correct me if I am wrong I am a bit sceptical to use the em in the session bean. (there been lot of arguments stated that we need to ditch the DAO)
    BUT, still I would want use EntityManager in the EAO layer because of the mobility of the DAO layer in the future.
    So I have implemented DAO design pattern at below but is not working, is giving me:
    Unable to get an Entity Manager Instance
    javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound to name java:comp/env/persistence/em
    I am so confuse, does the DAO need to be a session bean as well?
    Edited by: lizaliz on Aug 13, 2009 8:15 AM

    Using the EM in a session bean is one of the preferred ways of manageing persistence. Take a look at *'Pro EJB 3'* by Mike Keith and Merrick Schincariol. Extracts are avialable on google books - they give a good overview of using this approach.
    It is a bit weird initially as with EJB 2 you had your session beans (business tier) and your entity beans for the data tier so using a session bean seemed to conflict with what was recognised. And besides if you want to inject a Persistence Context or Factory you need to do it in a managed class - like an EJB!

  • Does the controlfile need to be multiplexed in ASM?

    OS=Linux 5
    Oracle=11gR2 RAC with ASM
    We have two diskgroup (DATA, FRA), each with 6 disks. The controlfile currently resides on the DATA diskgroup. My question is, does the controlfile need to be multiplex to FRA diskgroup in case of a diskgroup failer? Typically if the database is using filesystem for storage, i would multiplex the controlfiles to 3 different filesystems.

    Hi,
    This thread already been answered but I'll leave a little touch.
    Some time ago we used OS filesystem to store database and we placed a part of the database at each mount point (like /u01, /u02, /u03 and so on).So, we also multiplexed control file to due flexibility of recover a controlfile if any error occurs on one theses mount points.
    But with ASM generally the whole database is placed on Diskgroup DATA  and controlfile on DATA and FRA  and if you lose your diskgroup DATA and this will not change anything in relation to high availability, because you will need to restore database to bring database up. So, If you have backup of database of course you also have backup of controlfile.
    About multiplexing de REDO in other Diskgroup can make all difference. If you lose diskgroup +DATA and you have your archivelog and redo online avaliable on other diskgroup you will have a minimun or none lost of data.
    I don't like multiplex controlfile on FRA, because any maintenance that involves diskgroup that have controlfile stored will cause downtime of database. So, when I multiplex controlfile I choose diskgroup that have datafiles only of that database.
    Redo and Archivelog we can change they of diskgroup without downtime of database.
    As FRA is a Diskgroup used to store backup and Archivelog can be exausted and it can cause downtime on database. (We must not forget we can control it)
    Other point:
    In some env I have seen DBAs configuring Normal Redundancy to Diskgroup (e.g DATA) that store database and External Redundancy to Diskgroup FRA (e.g FRA) due purpose of that Diskgroup. By Default DBCA place controlfile on FRA, so If by any reason asmdisk from FRA fail, the whole database will down due controlfile on that diskgroup. This is a big mistake.

    It can be calibrated in either machine. The calibration circuitry is in the battery, not the computer.

  • Help !!! why does the client need to specify codebase

    Anyone,
    I'm trying out a dynamic class loading tutorial.
    my question is why does the client need to define
    java.rmi.server.codebase.
    I can understand why the server needs it, as it is downloading classes
    it does not have information about. But why does the client need to specify the codebase

    Lets say you have a Remote interface with a method:
    void compute(Task task);
    Now, the clients of this remote interface want supply
    a zillion of custom tasks to be executed on the
    server, but how the hell the server knows where to get
    the actual classes for those tasks?You fool. its for the server to hand the client the reference to a stub, or to specify FOR the client where the stubs are, so that the CLIENT can get a reference to them, to make the call.
    This is where the
    client codebase comes to the scene. Client codebase......you mean codebase info that is sent TO the client, so it can find the classes.
    A client annotates
    it and it gets written to the manifest part of any
    serializable object (Task implentation) being passed
    over then net so the server could find and download
    the actual class of the object.
    Rubbish.
    I hope I made myself clear. as mud.
    You might want to check
    out this link also:
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/cod
    base.htmlI read this and i still dont see anything about CLIENT codebase. I see stuff about codebase, and the server trying to make the client aware of where it can get the relevant classes.
    What a fool you are. Dont bother replying. I have had enough of your autocratic rubbish.

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?
