Step by step on how to add tc to existing netgear wireless network please

Hi,
Please can someone give me a step by step on how to achieve a working wireless network with a netgear DGN2000 router providing the network, my TC available for back ups / itunes library & an airport express to connect a usb printer into the network?
Currently have following:
ADSL Internet connection into Netgear DGN2000 Wireless N Router/Modem
TC
Airport Express
Macbook Pro (running Lion)
iPad (running OS5)
iPhone (running OS5)
Windows 7 laptop (personal)
Windows XP laptop (work - so locked down on installing new software)
USB Printer
I did have it set up but think went a bit wrong and used TC as creating wireless network - and could no longer use work laptop over VPN - so have reverted back to netgear only.
Please could someone give me / point me towards a blonde friendly step by step on how to set up my network so everyone is happy?!
Thank you!!

Suggest that you start by configuring hte AirPort Express to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the Netgear router.
In order to do this, you must provide the AirPort Express with the exact information that it needs to be able to join the network. This includes:
Name of the wireless network
Exact type of wireless security that the router is using
Password for the wireless network
I'm sure that you know the name of the wireless network and the password, but do you know the exact type of wireless security setting that the Netgear router is using? You may need to get into the configuration pages for this information.
Hopefully, it will be WPA2 Personal, or WPA/WPA2 Personal, which the AirPort Express can match. If you see something like WPA-PSK-TKIP or WPA-PSK-AES, then things get more complicated, likely requiring some trail and error.
Once you have the wireless security settings in hand, you are ready to follow Apple's step by step setup for the AirPort Express using the AirPort Utility application on your Mac.
When you have the Express configured, you will already know how to setup the TC, since it will be configured exactly the same way with the same information.
This assumes that you want the TC to connect using wireless only.
It would be much easier to setup the TC to connect to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable. You will be able to backup to the TC using the Netgear wireless network. Can you consider that option?

    Ah, it looks like I should have read your title more carefully. Are the  files on the PCs that you want to share with your iMac in a shared folder?
    If not, follow the steps on this page to set up shares from Windows 7.
    If that is already set up, connect to the share from the iMac using this article.

  • HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

    How do I extend my existent Airport Extreme network by addition of a 2nd Airport Extreme?

    Can you clarify which version of the AirPort Extreme that you have now along with the model that you plan to use as the second device?
    The older "round" AirPort Exteme or the newer "square" version with rounded corners?
    Are you planning to extend using wireless only.....or by connecting the AirPort Extremes using a wired Ethernet connection?

  • How do I add a password to my wireless network

    Hello,
    First time posting to the board.  So, in advance, thanks for you time and help.  I am a computer idiot..not proud just realistic.  I have read other posts and I just get lost in them as I do not have a strong working knwledge of computer knowledge.  So, after reading on the linksys help pages, I have become even more confused.  Basically what I need help with is just adding a password to my wireless network so the laptops in my house are the only ones that can use it.  Probably a very basic question, but any help would be greatly welcomed. 
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
    Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
    First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
    Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
    Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
    To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
    Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
    WEP - poor (see note below)
    WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
    WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
    WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
    The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
    Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
    And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
    Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
    Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
    One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 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.
    Note:
    WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

  • Setting up HP Officejet 6500A; not sure how to connect to web w/ home wireless network

    I have a small home wireless network.  I set the printer up today but it says that I must connect to the internet (fax part is working).  The only desktop I have, I keep off most the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to this).
    Is there a way to connect the printer directly to my router?  They are only a few feet from one another; however, I have no clue how to do it and the instructions manual didn't tell me much.  Do I need a phone line?  What would I use to connect the two?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even Target will have them.
    Plug it into the back of the printer and router.  You should be able to add the printer to your laptop.  Let me know what operating system you have and I can help.

  • How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

    I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

    Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
    Yes
    As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
    Yes

  • How do I remove my existing wi-fi networks/settings and create new network.  Have lost passwords to the networks.

    I have Imac that was upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.  Originally had an ATT Modem that with wi-fi to our Imacs.  Original modem quit working and ATT replaced it with a different modem and wi-fi network was changed.  During these changes and subsequent support(?) calls with ATT the passwords were changed and/or lost.  Using an ethernet connection now which works fine but would like to go back to wi-fi.  However, can't get into either of the previous wi-fi networks or make changes since we don't have a working password.  How can I completely deletes the existing wi-fi networks and establish a new one?  And, If I bought an Apple Wi-Fi base station, could I connect it to my ATT modem and then set up a network using the base station. At one time we were told that we had to use the ATT modem since we are on ATT DSL so I am not sure what will work with that modem or won't work.

    Is the wireless network for Internet access provided by another AirPort (Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule) router?

  • How to get MBP to "trust" my wireless network?

    Hello, I'm using a Macbook Pro with a Linksys wireless router. Every time I boot the MBP, it says "can't find any trusted wireless networks", or something to that effect. I go to the airport menu and my network is listed there, and it works fine once I click it. I'd like to figure out how to make the network "trusted" so that the MBP can just join it by default. I've searched through the system preferences and the network menus and I can't find any reference to "trusted networks"...any help?

    There is another wireless network
    that the computer tries to automatically connect to,
    could this be a problem?
    Yes.
    Ensure that it is no the in the Preferred Networks list.
    Change the channel of your wireless router.
    Also, in the Preferred
    Networks list, the password associated with the
    correct network is a long hexadecimal string, not the
    alphanumeric password which I normally use. The
    security type is WPA personal, and the router is a
    linksys WRT54G with latest firmware.
    Try creating a new network name (SSID) and a new password and see if that makes a difference.
    Try creating a new location and see if that helps.

    If you are using an Apple router then use Airport Utility in the Utilities folder. Otherwise, consult the user manual for your router.

    Hi Rahul,
    i have already try to use in CR. But in CR i face a problem.
    The CR doesn't automatic print when i print for example journal voucher no 1. i have already select the record in journal voucher no 1 but when i click print preview , the CR ask me to fill the dockey again. It is not like the other document which always automatic print. So, in Journal voucher can not automatic print , if i use CR. This issue i have post in this thread. Passing parameter Journal voucher to Crystal report.  But still do not find the solution.
    Because i don't have any idea in CR.  So i move to PLD.
    In PLD , i just add some field from the existing PLD system. But i also face another problem.
    I can not add profit code, project, and 2 UDF. Actually the fields is in table BTF1. ( Journal voucher row) i just add beside the Credit field in PLD. But until now i still can not print preview using PLD.
    Do you have any solution ?
    Thanks in advance
    regards
