I want to replace my belkin router F5D7633 with a cisco one? can you tell me an equivalent cisco router?

Answer by DePrueba
Hello Swer Ter
The cisco family for use at home is the Linksys brand. The last wireless home router is the Linksys E4200. It comes with leading 802.11n wireless technology (transfer rates up to 300 + 450 Mbps), with 4 most speed Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) for your LAN ports, and also with a USB Storage Port that lets you add an external USB drive to your network and share files at home or over the Internet.
Other LInksys economical option is LinkSys E1000. It comes with 4 Quick Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) for your LAN, and doesn’t have the USB Storage Port option.
I hope this help you

I currently have a wireless network for a home computer where I can connect my laptop from. I recently got another PC and I’m dumbfounded as to what tools I need to get on line. Do i need a seperate router for my new pc to connect to my ancient pc? Can i just hold a wireless network card for my pc? As you can see, i’m barely a novice and hope to make this a learning experience.

You would just need an “ethernet” cable to connect your PC to the current router, if your router supports the ethernet cable.

The image in the link below is an develop of a way to get internet with an ethernet cable:

Answer by Brian
You only need one router. A router makes a network, and multiple diplomacy can connect to that one network.

FOR WIRELESS:

If the PC you recently bought has an internal wireless card austerely do the following:

Go to Start > Control Panel > (switch to Classic View) Network Connections > see if there are any ‘Wireless’ listings there; if so, aptly-click it and select ‘View Unfilled Wireless Networks’. Assuming your router has its SSID broadcasting (if you never turned it off or don’t know what this means you must be fine). Select your network and connect!

If the PC you bought does NOT have an internal wireless card, you’ll need an external USB wireless network adapter (simplest way, you may maybe also buy an internal card and bed in it yourself). This, once installed, will be able to pick up the connection from your router and distribute it to your computer.

FOR WIRED (not wireless):

Connect a Cat5 (Category 5, a.k.a. “Ethernet”) cable from one of your router’s unfilled ports and place the other end into your desktop PC. Your computer must involuntarily pick up the connection and connect you to the network. If not, go to Network Connections and enable the connection there.

Please feel free to message me or email me if you have any issues. I’ll be pleased to help walk you through no matter what business.

All the best.

There are two choices.

One, get a part of CAT5 (or cat5e or cat6) network cable. This is assuming your PC already has a network card in it, which very nearly all of them have for the last few being. The end of the cable looks like a touchtone phone cable plug, except it’s larger to accommodate more wires.

Look for the matching jack notch in the back of the PC, and in the back of the router. Many wireless routers also have wired capability, and you’ll know this since it has one jack that plugs into the modem that connects to your ISP, and other jacks where you can connect up to (usually) 4 PC’s.

Two, get a wireless card for the PC, and connect wirelessly the same way you connect the wireless laptop. They aren’t very pricey, altho some require enough skills to open the PC case. BUT you can also get wireless-USB diplomacy. You just plug it into an open USB port on the PC, bed in some configuration software (which will come with the device), and away you go.

I would say that, except your PC is aptly next to the router so that you can connect with like a 6 foot or so cable, the wireless-USB device is going to be your simplest choice. I’ve seen them selling on Ebay for nearly $ 20.

You know more than you reckon you do. There are only two options and you got them both.

First, if your new computer will be close to that router you can just buy an ethernet cable and connect the two and you will be instantly connected (instantly you wont have to do no matter what business).

Following, if you want to connect wirelessly (okay really there are other options in here but in most cases they are not matter-of-fact or useful) you need to buy a wireless card and bed in it. This can be hard since companies like to use their own software instead of Windows software. The windows software is always better. Its very simple to bed in a wireless card. You just buy it and follow the instructions.

You must have more confidence in yourself. I reckon once you get your computer working you will see how simple it was.

You need to buy and bed in a USB wireless adapter into your desktop (somewhat tough to configure)

OR get a cat 5 cable and plug in into your router’s Ethernet port. Plug the other end into your computer’s Ethernet port.

reboot everything, in this order ONLY.

initiation with rebooting the router (this gets a fresh IP address from the internet by your router)

wait 3 minutes

then reboot the switch if you used one (this makes these IP addresses unfilled)

wait 3 minutes

then reboot your computer.

If you bed in go the wireless way you may need to call a Computer Renovate benefit to set it up and and make it secure. Tell them to only allow access by MAC address, and have them set up all the computers.

(This is not necessary if you go the Cat 5 cable way.)

Then reboot your computer. (this will cause your computer to get a fresh IP address.)

Then you must be fine

What do you reckon? Answer below!
