Second computer as wireless

I have two computers connected to a WRT54G and wish to connect a third computer (in another room) as wireless.  We purchased the WRT150N.  This machine needs to access the wireless signal and will be connecting an XBox360.  Where can I locate setup instructions to complete this link.
thanks

  • Connecting a second computer to wireless printer

    I have just installed the software for the Envy 4500 printer and everything is working fine. I would like to be able to print from a second computer but have been unable to locate instructions on how to install on a second computer. Can anyone direct me to the instructions?

    Hi,
    The way is similar to the first computer: put the CD software and drivers which comes with the pronter on to the second, third, .... computer and run setup.

  • Why is my second computer's (wireless) internet speed slower than my 'base' computer's (non-wireless)?

    My son has a Macbook that  he uses in another room of our house. The router is at my desk, and is wired to my desktop MacMini. Why should his internet speed be slower than mine? Is there a remedy such as switching providers or routers?

    According to the manual for the router you said you have, the maximum supported speed is 22 Mbps for 802.11b and 54Mbps for 802.11b/g - since that MacBook supports 802.11a/b/g/n, 54Mbps is the best case scenario if it's negotiating an "g" connection or 22Mbps if it gets a "b" type connection. So what is your internet connection speed? And that 22/54Mbps is best case - depends on how many wall and other obstructions it goes thru by the time it gets to his MacBook.
    If he holds down the Option key and clicks on the WiFi icon in the title bar he should see what type of connection his MacBook has negotiated with the router. For example here is what mine shows (the connection type is listed as a 802.11/g, 2.4GHz, 54Mbps, channel 11, 20 MHz, etc):
    Another thing to try and make a quick measure of the speed between his MacBook and the local router and your Mini is copy a big file from your computer to his. That will give you a good idea of the speed of his wireless connection to the router.
    Good luck...

  • Photosmart C309g printer. how do i install it on a second computer. i have a belkin wireless router

    my printer has stopped working from a second computer.
    it is a photosmart C309g and i have a belkin wireless router. the main computer is XP and the second one is Windows 7.
    it use to work before. i have forgotten how i set it up in the first place.

    Hi dan-fran,
    Just need to download the driver from the link below, and then when you get to the connectivity screen of the installer select network/wireless. If the printer is already on your network the software will find the printer, and you can complete the installation of the software and driver.

  • Setting up a second computer to our wireless printer, may I use a different network

    I want to set up a second computer on the wireless printer but do not want to use my personal network, but would like to use the guest network. May I do this? And how

    Simple answer, no, you cannot do this.  Two reasons:
    1. The guest network will not, in any way, talk to your personal network.
    2. Most guest networks insist on isolating clients from each other on the guest network (unless you know otherwise).

  • Connecting a second computer to BThub 4 via cable

    I do not think this is a BT problem but if any one has any advice it will be appreciated.
    For a long time I have had 2 computers and a laptop connected through a BT hub 3. One computer (Vista) was connected by ethernet cable with the other two computers (windows XP) connected by wireless. Everything worked well.
    Because hub 3 died I now have a Hub 4. However, I need to change the way my computers connect to the Hub. This means that there will be two computers connected by ethernet cable. The original computer connecterd by ethernet cable is set up just as it was prveiously and works well.
    I connected the second computer with the ethernet cable supplied by BTand anticipated it would work. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't get the connection to work despite going through the wizard process of connecting from the computer both directly and via the small home network that is already establised.
    One irritating thing is that, although I select a "direct cable connection" in the set up process, when trying to connect I get a screen stating dial-up failed and a retry is instigated. I am not using a modem!
    I have tried re configuring things but to no avail, so getting to the end of my ideas, i wonder if anyone on the forum could give me some guidance.
    Regards
    David

    Hi
    Thanks to you guys for your help. the main problem was the absence of a net work card. This is now in place and I can make a connection tp the internet via the BT Hub. However, there is still one problem and this is as follows.
    Computer A (windows XP) and computer B  (Windows Vista) are connected to a small BT hub home network via ethernet cables.
    On computer B (which has been successfully connected to the hub for about 2 years) clicking on network places > " view workgroup computers" shows a map which includes the BThub, it's self (B) and computer A.
    If I do the same on computer A, it shows it's self but not the othe computer or the hub. Despite this it works perfectly well accessing the internet.
    Because I need to transfer files via this network I need to see the othe computer(S) and open files on them, however, I have spent some time trying to establish the presence of other devices on computer A without success.
    I have checked folder permissions are granted and I have tried to view the other devices with the firewall switched off but so far no success.
    Suggestions gratefully received.
    Regards,
    David

  • Second computer not detecting network

    Hi!
    This week I bought a new WRT54G v8.1. After updating the firmware, I was able to set up the network using LELA. However, I've tried adding the second computer to the network and haven't been able to get it to work.
    The second computer has a wireless USB adaptor (also Linksys) to receive the signal. It detects other networks in the general vicinity (such as my neighbors'), but not my router. The WLAN light on the router connected to computer #1 flashes rapidly when computer #1 wakes up or is restarted. It then slows until it blinks only once every 10 seconds or so. I've copied the "LinksysConnectPC" setup program to a flash drive, per the LELA directions, and transferred it to computer #2. However, when I run this program, there is a "Checking the computer..." message displayed for several minutes. At first, this message was displayed for only 1 or 2 minutes. After subsequent tries, this message was displayed for closer to ten minutes. After this period of waiting, the message, "EasyLink Advisor could not establish a wireless connection to the router", is displayed.
    Computer #1 uses Windows XP. Computer #2 uses Windows Vista. The router is set to channel 1. The USB adaptor is set to channels 1-11 in Device Manager. SSID broadcast is set to "enabled". The security mode is set to WEP.
    What should I do?

    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router.   Verify that "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network (this will delete any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.  You should connect automatically.  If you still have a problem, temporarily turn off your computer's software firewall.
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.   Ideally, you should be using WPA2, or at least WPA encryption with a strong password.  WEP is no longer recommended.
    If you decide to go with WPA2 ( = WPA with AES ), note that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
    Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.

  • Printing from second computer?

    Hi there,
    I finally got my new Airport Extreme set up, and am able to access the Internet and print wirelessly from my primary computer.
    I have a second computer on the network, and can surf the net, but I can't seem to print wirelessly from it, as I can with the primary computer.
    Any suggestions?
    evj

    Wondering if you've had any luck with this problem, as I just set up my new AirPort Extreme this evening and am having the exact same challenge. Both computers connect fine to the internet. My newer iMac is able to print wirelessly, however my 2 1/2 year old eMac will not print. I keep getting a "communication error" message. I've checked all the settings and tried resetting the AirPort and the printer, which is about all that I know how to do. Both computers are running Leopard...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Connecting second computer - problem

    I have been trying to connect a second computer to an existing Airport Express network - and have failed miserably so far. I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm missing something obvious here - so any pointers will be greatly appreciated!
    I have an Airport Express and a 1-year old Powerbook G4. The Airport is connected to a cable modem. Everything works fine.
    The second computer is a 17-inch iMac G5. I bought an Airport card and installed it following the instructions. I've done this kind of stuff before so I'm pretty sure it's not an installation problem.
    But my iMac won't detect the Airport station.... I've read the manual, tried to follow instructions, fiddled with the settings, moved the computer closer to the airport station, etc. etc. Nothing improved the situation.
    I have also tried setting up a computer-to-computer network. The Powerbook then recognises the iMac and I can enter a password. So I presume the Airport card is working... But afterwards, I don't see any new volume under "Network" - which is where I would expect to find the iMac now. Mhm.
    I apologize if this is all a bit unspecific - but I'm happy to provide further clues if pointed in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance for your help!
    Sebastian

    I have a similar problem
    and i am not too compter literate
    I have a dual g5 hooked to an extreme DI-624 wireless router with tiger.
    it works perfectly wireless.
    I have my secondary computer, an old emac with an old airport card (slow b version) on panther.
    I just installed the airport card (b) but it does not see my network on the dual g5. it sees other networks around the area.
    how do i get it to see the g5 network???

  • Creative Cloud for Teams - second computer will only install as trial version

    Hi there
    My company purchased Creative Cloud for Teams. I use a Mac at work and have installed it without any problems there. However at home i use a PC (Windows 7) and i have tried several times to sign into my Creative Cloud account and download programs so i can work at home but each time it will only load the programs as trial versions.
    I have tried several troubleshooting options with no luck:
    Clicked sign in on the trial window - but it just asks me for a serial number which i obviously dont have.
    I asked my work IT dept to delete and resend my seat invitation which they did but it didnt fix the issue.
    I asked my work IT dept to check with the reseller we bought Creative Cloud for Teams from whether there were any restrictions or settings which wont allow to install on a second computer but they said it should be fine.
    My team mates at work have installed it on their home Macs without a problem, it seems to be only a PC issue.
    I have had CS6 on my computer previously but uninstalled it all in case this was causing the conflict - but it didnt fix the CC issue.
    I have uninstalled and used the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstalled but this didnt work - the trial days still kept counting down.
    I uninstalled again, used a Registery cleaning tool (cleaned registery, temp files, browser temp files etc), used the Adobe Cleaner tool (just to make it extra clean), and removed all traces of Adobe from my machine. I reinstalled Creative Cloud Application manager, installed Acrobat to try it out. This time the trial days have gone back to 30 (rather than zero). I clicked on the "sign in" button, it signs me in but still asks for a serial number.
    I tried contacting Adobe via the chat channel but was told after some time that i would need to speak to Tech Support. My dealings with Adobe Tech Support in the past haven't been the most fruitful, so i thought i would ask the forum as my last desperate attempt to solve this problem.
    Any and all suggestions welcome.
    Thanks!
