Home wireless router recommendations

I just bought the HP Touch 600XT PC all in one.   I would like to set my home for wireless regardless where I am in the home to access the printer-HP J4680 all in one printer.  I watch the video on "Know your PC".   What would you recommend for me to purchase what home wireless router system.  I am considering the router range- needing a repeater.   Down the road I will be looking at a lap top to be added to the net work.

  • What info do I need to enter to access my home wireless router when setting up my new IPad?

    While setting up my new IPad I keep having trouble connecting to my home wireless router.  It keeps telling me to pick a wi-fi network from the list it gives me of ones that are available.  I choose my home wi-fi network that is password protected and it places a check mark next to the name.  From that point it does nothing.  It says "connecting to network" and the circle icon appears and seems to be searching for the connection but nothing ever happens.  The lock symbol remains next to my wireless network name and I can't seem to continue with my IPad set-up.  My router (Belkin) has a card where I recorded the information from its set-up and it has a SSID, a password and a network name.  These description don't seem to correspond with the descriptions that my IPad is asking me for and I haven't been able to go further.  PLEASE HELP!! 

    Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

  • Home wireless router. Awful latency.

    My wireless router is that TP-LINK and it`s firmware is updated to the latest version. (I using the stock firmware). There are no wireless network in range, that are using the same channel as mine is. The latency is happening to my friends connected to my router too. I am using wicd for network manager, and wicd-curses for network manager front-end.
    I will post more info if needed.
    Please advise me what can I do.

    Okay well I can see nothing that would cause this in anything you've posted. Especially if your friends are experiencing this too.
    I would either try downgrading the firmware (If after upgrading this happened). However, I see that your TL-WR1043ND is VERY well supported by Open-WRT. You may want to give it a look.
    Remember that the WiFi channels are overlapped. Try getting as far away as possible from other networks.
    Ensure you are running WPA-PSK with the AES cipher and a key of 63 pseudorandom characters. This way others are not using your WiFi to torrent and suck bandwidth.
    Try to stick to 802.11g but if at all possible go with 802.11n. Also if possible move up to the 5Ghz band to get out of the way of other things using the 2.4Ghz uncontrolled spectrum block.
    If your router is running things like DHCP, DNS, FTP, SMB, SSH, NTP, VPN, Etc... Quit it. Your TL-WR1043ND is running a 400Mhz processor with 32Mb of memory.
    That's basically all the advice I've got. Hope that get's the ball rolling on fixing this for you.

  • Home Wireless Router Cascading

    I had a WRT610N wireless router that was working fine and just replaced it with a e4200.  Everything on the e4200 is also working fine, as far as I can tell.  I want to redeploy the WRT610N in the far reaches of my home as a wireless hub to add range to my network.  I supposed that I could connect a LAN cable to the 610N get a DHCP address from the e4200 and then pass wireless traffic that connects to the 610N to the e4200.  However it does not seem to work.  I cannot get an IP address from the e4200.  
    Is using a 610N router as a wireless hub something that should be possible?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

    Good day, Nokia!
    I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
    However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
    I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

    Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
    Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
    Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
    Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
    Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
    If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
    Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
    Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
    I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

  • Searching for the right wireless router -- Recommendations?

    Hi, I'm hoping that my newbie status to the mac world won't effect the relevance of my questions but be rest assured, i have converted from pc to mac. Thank you Apple! Anyway, with introductions out of the way I'm extremely eager to find out what wireless router is best for the MacBook Pro. After being an annonymous surfer of these boards for the last few months since the MBP release I've been unable to find conclusive recommendations of what works and what doesn't. I've taken into effect that there are a lot of factors that go into setting up a wireless network (being this will be my first) and I just want everything to work without the hassle of buying several different routers before finally being satisfied. So here are the factors that are effecting my decision:
    - I'm going to be living in a apartment. (no concrete walls)
    - I'm going to be using a Comcast standard Motorola Surfboard 5120 Cable Modem. (unless the router comes built with a modem)
    - I'd like to be able to hook up a wired device as well as use wireless devices with the router so having multiple ports is important. (wan/lan compatible)
    - I'd like the router to have as much security as possible without effecting my surfing, gaming, and streaming.
    - I'd really like the router to be somewhat Tech-Friendly so I don't have to go through hours of support services and web digging to get to the bottom of any problems that may come up.
    Ok so with that all said, what are your suggestions?
    MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz 2 with 2 Gig Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    UrbanOne,
    I have no idea what some posters are talking about
    when they mention "networking issues." Really, I
    don't.
    I have never had any trouble with Airport/wireless
    with any of my Macs, regardless of model. This
    includes my current MBP. It hasn't dropped a
    connection once. It hasn't had difficulty connecting
    to my network. To this point, it has been perfect.
    Period.
    Given that I do not have any problems (and never
    have), there's not much more I can say about some of
    the things that have been posted (feel free to read
    between the lines, here). So, I will just go on to
    my recommendations...
    I recently replaced an older router (Belkin) with a
    Linksys WRT54G. I have been very impressed
    with this router. It has top-notch security
    features, and these features are very easy to enable
    and use via the router's web interface. All of the
    router's other features (many) are easily accessible,
    easy to find and control using the well designed
    interface. It doesn't take an IT pro to figure out
    how and what to do with the router.
    I am quite happy with the signal, the range, and the
    robustness of this router. I can go outside my
    house, and still get full-speed transfers/downloads
    all the way down to the point where I no longer get
    any signal indicated by the Airport icon.
    When I walk closer to the house, the signal picks
    right back up, and so does my bandwidth.
    I also have an Airport Express, and I love it, too.
    It is only used either for printing or Airtunes, and
    as such it only joins my existing network. When I
    have used it to create its own network in the past,
    it has worked very well.
    We have a printer upstairs; when we want to print to
    it, the tower upstairs acts as a server. Someone
    will go upstairs and wake the tower up, and it
    immediately becomes available. We have a laser
    printer downstairs. The AE is sometimes in the
    living room, connected to the stereo for Airtunes.
    If this is the case, we need only unplug it, move it
    to the printer, connect it and plug it in. When it
    has booted, we can print to the laser printer. When
    we need to transfer some files, someone will turn on
    sharing, and someone else will connect. Simple.
    What I'm trying to illustrate is that the WRT54G
    simply works, no matter what we are doing, and
    we don't have to jump through hoops to make it work.
    As far as speed, what do you need? Any 802.11G
    router, Airport or otherwise, will provide more
    bandwidth than your internet connection. The only
    advantage an "n" or "pre-n" router will bring is
    faster network transfers. Your internet
    connection will not be affected. Unless you are
    constantly making large network transfers, 802.11G
    will provide everything you need, for a lot less.
    BTW, the WRT54G that I recommend can be had for
    under $50.
    Scott
    This has been the most useful reply I have recieved yet, I will definitely take that model into consideration. I really hope that setting this model up will be as simple as you say it is.

  • Wireless Router Recommendation

    I want to buy a new wireless router to replace my aging Belkin G Router. It has been a long time since I purchased a new one. I am not sure what is good out there. Airport Extreme looks promising but I am wondering what routers would be the comparable or better. Just so that I can make a properly informed decision.
    I would like the new router to have a good range, NAT, MAC address filtering, Ethernet ports, WAN Ping Blocking, and USB for sharing a printer or external drive.
    Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    I would buy the AirPort Extreme Base Station myself. For my needs, the unit would be perfect if it had four Ethernet ports instead of three. But I may still change my mind. When was the last version of this Airport release? With the iPad and possibly a new iPhone on the horizon, I am sure an update to the Airport station is no where near the front burners.
    I was consdering the new Belkin Play Max router since my old router is a Belkin. But I read from on-line reviews that the interface is confusing and it is very far from being plug and play as it claims.
    Thanks for the link to the Netgear WNDR3700 that look good too. The Netgear Rangemax WNDR3700 and the Cisco Linksys E3000 also caught my attention. Has anyone used either one yet?

  • Wireless router recommendations

    What wireless routers will work best with my new MacBook? It will be located in the living room and as such will need to reach through walls and such. I know some are going better than others but what things should I be looking for? What must I spend to get a decent router?

    Hi Bowden,
    I never had problem with Netgear and Linksys, but some other user have a hard time with some linksys model.
    Best bet to get best wireless router will be using apple airport:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E1B D7358&fnode=home/shopmac/mac_accessories/airportwireless&nplm=MB053LL/A
    or
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=124 87AA8&fnode=home/shopmac/mac_accessories/airportwireless&nplm=M9470LL/A
    It will save your time configuring it, and you got both support for router and macbook from the same company.
    Good Luck.

  • Trouble connecting to home wireless router

    I'm using a Belkin wireless router with security mode of WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).
    My iPod touch 2G used to be able to connect to the wireless network, but it can't now. It gives me incorrect password message. Only thing I've done is update the software to 3.0.

    thank you SOOO much!!! I had been struggling for a couple of hours and this solved it all in under five minutes. it seems to be when you change from WEP (my old router) to WPA2 (new router) and not just 3.0. I have a Touch with 2.0 and it was the same story. thanks again!

  • Palm PRI and home wireless router

    Does a wireless router such as the DLink provide WiFi connectivity to the PRE? The Sprint network coverage at our house is rather poor.

  • New Wireless Router recommendation

    So I've got 2 mac's (24" iMac, Macbook Air), 1 Dell laptop, Wii, and XBox 360. I currently have a D-Link DGL-4300 that is just completely unreliable. It's firmware is up-to-date, tried different channels, etc. etc....and I still have to reboot it constantly.
    My house is about 3000 sq. ft. w/ 3 different floors and I'm trying to find something that will cover the entire house. Will the Airport Extreme do this? Any other recommendations?

    The Airport Extreme is the most reliable consumer router I have ever worked with. Any one of my clients who asks me this question gets the same answer. The only thing that's better is only for corporate and it would be a Cisco, but that's not what you need.
    Try buying one. If you don't like it you can return it. If it doesn't have enough range, nothing does better than the extreme but you can easily get either another Extreme or Express and put it close to the point where you lose signal or the network is slow and it will expand it.
    I have a 100 year old victorian house with 4 floors and I have 2 Extremes working perfectly. No problems. Set it and forget it.

  • E72 connectivity to Wireless Router

    HI
    I have E72. I need to connect internet in my laptop via E72.
    First I need to connect my E72 to my home wireless router & then want to use
    this connectivity to run internet in my laptop.
    I want mobile option to work as one of my OS doesnot have wireless driver.
    I searched & googled lot but in vain.
    Kindly help me to configure this.

    So that is a configuration that will definitely work? WET54 connected to a wired or wireless router so that you can join two networks.
    What I have been thinking of is replacing one of the antennas of a WRT54G with a directional 14dB antenna. Then use a WET54 also with a directional antenna pointed at the WRT54G. Another WRT54G connected to the WET54 to provide a wireless signal to the remote location.
    I had thought of a Range Extender but there is nothing to provide power at end of the range of the first WRT54G.

  • MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to Wireless Router

    I have a brand new MBP and it won't connect to any non-apple wireless routers
    - my computer is 2 days old (it's awesome and I love it accept that I can't get wireless connection at home)
    - wireless router: westell versalink model 327 W
    - PROBLEM: my mbp will detect the network just fine, but won't connect to it...just times out, it will connect to a neighbors linksys, but cannot load any internet pages, so still not helpful. When I try to connect to the wirelesss router using the network utility it asks for a WEP password, which it never did before because it's an open wireless router. (I know you should always password protect, but it's not my router...I'm just in the same house)
    - I had a powerbook G4 and ibooks that have all connected fine to the same wireless network. My dad has an HP laptop that also connects fine
    - it only connects to the apple brand airport wireless routers
    - it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
    - I have tried checking the connections, allowing all connections, repairing my disk permissions (even though my computer is only 2 days out of the box), resetting the router, opening the router so no password is needed...NOTHING WORKS!
    - I also tried another wireless router (netgear): doesn't work
    I've been reading around in some forums and this seems to be an apple and maybe more specifically a macbook pro issue (just by process of elimination). One forum said that it was because of an airport update that basically "breaks" mbp's airport and makes it not accept any non airport wireless connections, apple supposedly is working on a fix but who knows
    I'm feeling disappointed and very upset that this is even a problem, especially with how many people I read are dealing with the same issue wit still no solution. My mbp was far from cheap and this just shouldn't be an issue. I'm planning on contacting apple and getting to bottom of this or at least some kind of answer.

    - it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
    this is because there is an actual physical connection between the router and the machine, so the router allows the connection automatically. i believe ALL wireless routers have a "Wireless Access List" in their config. the owner of the wireless router must add any machine or device seeking to gain access to the wireless router. consult your routers documentation on how to access the router from a web page and add your machine. this is usually done by adding the machine's mac address to the wireless access list. i added my 15"mbp and iphone to my netgear wireless router in about ten minutes and have no problem connecting every time.
    also, when making any changes in Network Preferences, be sure to "Apply" after any change or adding any wep key. let me know if you have any questions.

  • Home wireless connection instable

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can suggest me a valid solution:
    I have an IBM thinkpad with an Aironet PCI wireless LAN adapter.
    It worked fine with my home wireless router for months.
    Recently It started to have problems: the connection frequently stops (then after few minutes the software try to reconnect with success).
    The router is ok, as nothing has changed in its cfg and another portable works fine with wireless during stops.
    The only change I've done recently on my thinkpad was enabling a dial-in modem (but I've already disabled it now).
    The SW diagnostics says: "error code 208 - association expired".
    I've checked everytin but I can't solve it...
    Thank you
    GF

    I'm going for the long ball here, but you said you are using the Aironet card. Is that Cisco/ Aironet or the way back when aironet?
    Anyway, please check to make sure windows wireless zero configurator is disabled.
    Start/settings/control panel/administrative tools/services/wireless zero configuaration.
    should be stopped and disabled if it is not already. This effectively kills the windows ability to find networks and manage profiles, but if you are already doing that with the PCI card then the other service must be turned off, or they will contend with each other, which usually manifests in a series of drops and reassociations as they fight for control.
    Also, you didn't mention what channel you were on, but it is possible somebody else has cranked up there own utensil nearby and it is interfering with you. Change the channels to see if the issue gets better and since you are probably already on 6, try 1 and 11 (only)!

  • Which wireless router should I buy?

    After many hassles trying to get my 3 yr old speedtouch router to work reliably with my Macs I've decided it's time for an upgrade. Can I please get your wireless router recommendations for hassle free surfing on a Mac
    Many thanks
    David

    When you want some router advice you need to be more specific.
    A router does not include a DSL modem. So if your needing a box to replace a speedtouch then you need an ADSL router.
    An ADSL router is a dsl modem and router combined.
    You also don't specify who your isp is or what country your in.. This has some implications as if your in the UK for example some isp's use Annex M, ADSL2+ etc. Not all ADSL routers support these protocols and in the UK we use PPPoA IPoA and PPPoE. In other parts of the world only PPPoE is used.
    So if you want an example of an all round box that works with 99% of the protocols it is the netgear DG834GT. However netgear now have a wireless N compatible router however I have not had any reports whether this box will work with apples wireless N. However in theory it should.
    If you want a standard wireless router to use with an existing DSL modem then I would recommend the linksys wrt54G
