How best to allow temporary wireless connections

Is there a way to allow temporary connections to my wireless for visitors? 1) A guest wants to connect to the Internet with a smart phone through my wireless, or connect an iPod to the Internet. From what I understand right now I would have to put my WPA2 password in the configuration of these devices.
Is there a better, more secure way to do this? Refer me to howtos, if possible.

You can have simplified access, and you can have adequate security. Having both simultaneously is not simple..
One possible route is an inexpensive wireless access point (WAP) connected to the network with a separate SSID and separate encryption settings (up to and including no encryption at all). Older devices like this are available at low prices on eBay, etc. You could then activate the device when it's required. BTW I'm not 100% crazy about this route (although I do use a WAP on my system), but it may be cheaperr than replacing your router with a device that provides dual LANs.

How best to configure a WRT54GS connected to a BEFSR81 connected to cable modem?

I know it is old gear, but it's all I have. I have an office in my home. I have a wired router (BEFSR81) which is connected to my cable modem and has seven wired connections to it: four computers, two printers and a wireless router (WRT54GS). The wired router performs DHCP service for the network: four computers (at 192.168.1 100-103). The printers are at static addresses outside the DHCP range (192.168.1.150 and 155). I want the wireless router to accept wireless connections from friends who stop by (or if I decide to go out on the porch with my laptop).
How should I configure the wireless router so that it allows wireless entities (laptops, Roku, etc.) to connect to my network. What IP address should it have off my wired router, and will my wired router's DHCP provide IP addresses to devices attaching to the network through the wireless router? For the convenience of cabling, I would prefer to have my wired router as the primary router if possible.

How can i allow multiple incoming connections on my windows 8 vpn server?

Hi eveyone,
Im trying to find out how to allow more than 1 incoming VPN connection into my windows 8.1 PC and no clue how to do it without openVPN or other programs (which i have no clue how to set up either)
Im starting to use my home NAS for work where I store everything on it so when ever I go to a job I can either access it or save a new file to it. The problem is my wife also wants to use it and I dont want to not be allowed to connect when I need to or
not allow her to connect.
Is there any way I can allow 2+ incoming connections on my home PC without getting a seperate software?
If the only option is getting a seperate program can anyone provide something that I can settup to my home router so I can access the NAS by the private IP?
Thank you

Short answer - no. The client OS only allows one incoming VPN connection.

How do I remove the wireless connection from my Apple TV 2.

I have an Apple TV 2 and I want to sell it. Before selling it, I want to remove my wireless connection which has my home network password from the Apple TV. How do I do it ?
Thanks for helping me.

Put it in DFU and do an update. This will not only update it, but it will remove all settings. DFU = hold menu+play while plugging it in.

,How can i extend my wireless connection

,How can i extend my wireless connection

I can make it work with two separate ssid's and networks but when I try to set it up "correctly", the airport utility can't find the linksys network.
Set up the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name (just type in the name using AirPort Utiliyt), same wireless security setting and same wireless network password as the Linksys network and make sure that the AirPort is in Bridge Mode.
Then you will have a "roaming" network. Your computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal as it moves around the house.

How to permanently allow apps to connect to intern...

Hi,
With certain (web?)-apps I always have to allow (or not allow) them to connect to the Internet or to read my phone data.That's irritating.
Is there a global, or per app, setting to store this approval ??

You could fix it simply by turning off the firewall.

How to print from different wireless connection on same network

I can print wirelessly when I am in range of the wifi to which my computer and attached printer connect. However, when I go to a different wifi connection within the same network, I cannot print. How can I my wifi connections on same network talk to each other so that I can print from second wifi site on same network?

The problem is you loaded the printer directly and now do not have it plugged in.. so delete the printer in the control panel.. then setup the printer again.. this time connect to it as network printer. The bonjour should make it available as a network resource..
Tell me if you still run into trouble doing that. You may need to load the IP of the TC manually..
Window7 has higher security level than xp.. and that can sometimes also cause issues.
Are you using SMB compliant names for the TC, wireless and printer??
Can the windows 7 computer get internet via the TC? Can you ping it?
Look up how to reduce the security level in windows to match xp.. I don't remember the details but you have to do some nifty footwork.

Cisco 1811W stopped allowing wireless connection of domain laptops

I have a Cisco 1811W that after several years in service suddenly stopped allowing any wireless connection to laptops on the domain. It allows hard wired connections and devices that are just using the wireless hot spot like iPads and Iphones but not devices on the domain. These same laptops connect wirelessly without issue at our other facilities which use the same hardware.

It was a two fold problem. There is another stronger Wi-Fi signal that exists at the facility from another entity on a different domain that the two laptops were trying to associate to in lieu of the network signal from our 1811. This could only be seen while watching the Intel wireless Proset app NOT the Windows wireless management app. Then by deleting all other old Wi-Fi networks listed in the Intel Proset app except ours it connected. Also set devices to never connect to the other signal. This was not an issue when I brought the laptop to another faciIity without a competing Wi-Fi signal becuase they would connect using the strongest and ONLY Wi-Fi network signal which was ours.

WRVS4400N does not allow wireless connections

I've had the WRVS4400N for about six months. Three times in the past two months I have had to factory reset the device and reconfigure it because it would not allow any wireless connections. Perhaps unfortunately I applied the latest firmware update about a month before these problems began. Is there any work-around or setting change that I can make to avoid this problem? When wireless connections are impossible the device is still reachable via the ethernet connection.

If only the wireless is dorpping on the unit then, most probably a firmware concern. Try reflashing the firmware again if that helps. Also try to change some of the advance wireless settingso nthe router, set the RTS and fragmentation to thresholds to 2306 as well as teh beacon interval to 50.

Wireless connection for officejet 4500

I just replaced my router and now I'm having problems reconnecting my officejet 4500.

Well on this printer you go into the front panel setup which you would hit the setup rench symbol to the right of the machine than find network and then under network setting you will see wireless setup wizard when you select that option then to put in the passphase you do it like texting you keep pushing the number until it turn into a letter or number for you so it like texting when you put in the passphase. Now the passphase was setup when you got the new router so if you don't remember it contact the router company or it may be on the router and you put in the front panel like texting. I attached a document on how to reconnect to the network. Maybe this step by step process will help you out on resolvinfg the issue your having.
Thank you for being a Valued Hp Customer
Step one: Prepare for installation
Make sure that you have the following requirements before you begin:
Network name: The network name is the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
WEP key or WPA security passphrase
A computer that is connected to the wireless network.
Internet access. HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
Your wireless-capable HP product. Place it close to the computer during the installation procedure.
Administrator privileges or password (Vista)
Make sure the product, access point, and computer are all on, and that the computer is connecting to the wireless network.
Exit all applications running on your computer.
Disconnect any USB or Ethernet cable that is connected to the product.
If you previously installed the software for a USB connection and now want to change to a wireless network connection, follow these instructions to remove the USB installation before continuing.
Go to the Printers folder:
Windows XP: Click Start , and then click Printers and Faxes .
Right-click the icon for HP product, and click Delete to remove it.
Step two: Connect to the wireless network
The following video demonstrates how to set up a wireless connection between your product and a wireless network. The product shown in the video is the HP Officejet J4680. The outside of the product might look different, but the steps are similar for your product.
Setting up a wireless connection using the contol panel
Follow these steps to connect the product to your wireless WLAN 802.11 network.
Press the Setup button ( ) on the product control panel.
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight Wireless Menu , and then press OK .
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight Setup Wizard , and then press OK .
The Wireless Setup Wizard searches for networks, and then displays them in a list.
Press the Arrow buttons ( ) to highlight the network name (SSID) that you gathered in the previous step, and then press OK .
If prompted, enter the WPA or WEP key:
Use the alphanumeric keypad on the product control panel to enter the passphrase.

Wireless connection between 2 buildings

My office is in a small separate structure on my residential property about 100 feet away from my 2 story house (both buildings are mostly wood frame, a lot of windows).
In the office is my computer system – internet access and a simple network:
Cable Modem
Linksys 2.4 GHz Wireless-B Router
2 PC's with Wireless-B
Mac Pro
Everything works excellent inside the office building (using wireless for the network and wired for the internet).
I just purchased a MacBook Pro for the house to access the internet and my files on my PC in the office. I tested it with the Linksys and just barely picked up some signal but mostly nothing.
I tried a Netgear WNDR3300 - their latest dual-band, with 5.0 N and 2.4 G. A very nice unit, worked out of the box, but no real additional signal strength.
I was thinking about trying 2 AirPort Extremes, one in the office building and one in the house.
What is someone’s best suggestion on how to create a solid wireless connection between 2 buildings (about 100 feet apart), not necessarily Apple equipment, and short of running an Ethernet cable between the 2 buildings.
I would like full wireless and wired access inside the office, and full wireless and wired access inside the house.

Do you have direct line-of-sight between the two buildings?

Enabling Wireless Connection?

How do I enable the Wireless Connection?
I accidently Disabled it, preventing me from connecting to the router/AP wirelessly (publicly).

Look around the edges of your laptop(if you're using one) for a switch labeled WAN, WWAN, or WiFi and make sure it's in the on position. Sounds silly but it happens.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
