pls can you recommend a home cisco router to connect to the internet at home?|home router

by benarent

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.

Answer by Ryan
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.

Answer by Unca Alby
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.

Answer by Sean M
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.

Answer by Techxan
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

My bedroom has NO buzz jack (I reckon that’s the word) and I want to have internet access on my pc in my room. My mother’s room is the closest one and she recommended getting a router, I want to know how quick my connection would be and no matter what business else I need to know in this area a router since I am a novice concerniong them.

Answer by Jaymikal
Hello -

The router is only as quick as your Internet connection. Background up a wireless network (by a router) requires a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection, whether its DSL, or Cable, or even Satellite connections. If you only have a dial-up connection, then a wireless router wouldn’t work.

Background up routers are relatively simple. They come with installation CDs that will step you through everything you need to do.

One word of caution. Must you elect to make a wireless network by a wireless router, then be certain when you’re going through the installation administer that when it questions whether it must enable security, you top out “yes”.

If you don’t, then what can happen is that you’ll provide free Internet access to typically everyone within a 1500 ft radius of where the router is sitting, depending upon line-of-sight. Public may maybe use your network, browse your files, hack into a website and make it look like you did it.

I don’t say this to scare you off, only to be sure to turn on your security so that only public with the proper network key can access your network. I have set up hundreds of these networks, and all work splendid! I have a wireless network at my house, too.

So, when installing the router, get out a cut of paper and pencil and take notes as the computer questions for in rank. It’ll question for:
1. SSID (network name)
2. Type of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.)
3. Encryption strength (64bit WEP, 128bit WEP, etc.)
4. Network passphrase (key is generated off of this)
5. What the real network key is.
6. Advisable to exchange your admin password as well.

Excellent luck! Hope this helps!

Answer by Nate H
“The router is only as quick as your Internet connection.” -Not entirely right.

Dredge up, a ordinary Ethernet connection runs at 100 Megabits per following (that’s by a cable). A Wireless connection (assuming by the latest ordinary, G) runs at 54 Megabits per following. So, if you’re by applications or allotment files through the router at home, your connection within your own network will be considerably quicker than an internet connection.

A ordinary U.S. high-speed internet connection ranges between 3-6 Megabits per following, therefore, even even if you have up to 100 Megabits per following, you can only surf the internet as quick as the benefit provider (a.k.a. Roadrunner, Verizon, ect.) is let you. Reckon of it like blowing into a straw, the straw being your “internet connection”. You can blow as hard as you want into the straw, but the straw can only let so much air flow out. Ultimately, you will get all your air out of the straw, but not as quick as if you were blowing without the straw.

Answer by Kimbo455
Seeing as there two different brands; You may need to buy a new router but not completely sure.

Answer by StarSpark
You should be able to have it search for wireless networks, have it find the router, and then put in whatever password there is for the router, if there is one, and then it should connect.

Answer by Gerald s
first off there diff. operating systems but it doesn’t matter. if the new one is wireless then you need to open your wireless internet .if it’s a laptop it may have an actual switch to use to turn on the wireless or you need to go into your connection settings . if it’s not wireless then you get a wireless card (Internal)l,usb dongle or a pcmcia card for older laptops that don’t have an Internal wireless slot. good luck

Answer by Nattty

Answer by brandonweed147
You should just be able to connect to the wireless router. It doesnt matter what computer you have, as long as it has the wireless capabilities. I have Windows XP and windows VIsta running off the same router. I have even had friends come over and connect with macs.

Two computers out of the 4 in our house said that the computer is conflicting with another IP address on the network. What does that mean should we get a password protected network so that other people outside of the house cant use ours, or does that even matter in this case?

Answer by Nick C
set all your computers to automatically obtain configuration from the router (instead of typing in an address like 192.168.10.2).

(start menu, control panel, “network connections”, right-click, “properties”, select “internet protocol TCP/IP from the list, click “properties” and select the “obtain an ip address automatically” option).

if you must insist on assigning IP addresses to your computers, then chances are the one computer that is complaining has an IP address the same as another computer. change it to something else.

Answer by jonincanada
Assign different static IPs under the TCP properties page.

Answer by arrowroberts
It sounds more like one or more computers has a static IP address.
Go to control panel/network connects. Select your network card,, right click and go to properties. Select TCP/IP and click properties. Click the radio button that says “Obtain an IP address autmtically” do the same for the DNS server address.

For the other part,If you are using a wireless router, it is always best to password protect it.

Answer by Jose L
It depends on the router model and settings. The router usually is the one assigning the IP address and the limit for class C (what you most probably have) segment is 255.

Answer by Halfie
Routers usually give out unique IP addresses. My guess is one of the computers in the house was manually configured with an IP address that the router gave out to another computer/device on your network

Answer by h_wes
Look on Newegg or Amazon for reviews of routers and see what ones are charitable public distress. Most of these things are cheaply made and prone to bugs. I had a Belkin router that cause all sorts of distress with intermittent connections and the router completely loud below moderate downloading. We typically had to reboot it a link times a week.

I highly urge the Linksys WRT54GL. Its rock levelheaded and will handle the “Tomato” firmware which adds way more features than you’re ever likely to need. I’ve been by mine a link months now and it hasn’t needed a reboot once.

Answer by HandBallCourts
This would be perfect your you. In fact this is the router I have. Its called the Apple Airport Farthest Wireless 802.11n Base Station. I very highly urge this router!!!
Specifications,
- This works for both Mac and PC
- 5 times quicker than any other router on the market
- Connect up to 50 users at the same time
- Share Hard Drives
- Photograph from anywhere
- Simple complex
- $ 179.00 but well worth it for what your getting and it will last you a long time.

I recently bought a used laptop with 802.11b wireless capability. I want to set up a wireless home network with my desktop still connected via cable and a wireless router to connect my laptop. My house has three floors, with my desktop and internet connection in the basement. I will be by the laptop mostly on the main floor. I see routers with prices ranging from $ 25 to nearly $ 200. How do I select one that will be reliable without buying way more than I will need? Thanks for any in rank or recommendations.

Answer by JRavey
For the most part, any Netgear or Linksys wireless router must be fine as long as it supports the aptly version of 802.11. Just make sure you tighten down your security on it a bit by the directions provided by the manufacturer.

Answer by edgarmdrake
If you are just looking for 802.11b you must be able to get one pretty low-cost. If you want to place a new wireless card in your laptop shortly that is capabable of 802.11g, then you may want to get a router with both b/g compatibility. You’ll also want to see what type of encryption it has like WEP, WPA, etc. You’ll will want secure your wireless connection with the highest level of encryption possible. Also, don’t forget to exchange the default password for the router.
