Wireless/wired connection help?
By baldrick2dogs •
Here's my situation:
I have 2 computers; 1 laptop and 1 desktop. The desktop is in my bedroom.
I have a Belkin wireless modem that keeps crapping out on me and the Qtel modem that will run 24/7 without problems, but then I have no wireless connection.
My ADSL socket is in the lounge - 25m away from my bedroom! I have a D-Link USB wireless receiver available on the desktop.
I'm currently running a cable between the two, but it's not a great solution
What I want is a way to connect the Qtel modem to a device that will:
a) split the line into two connections, and,
b) give me wireless capability.
Any suggestions?
Basically you can buy a Wireless Router. Linksys is good. You can get it for around Qrs250 or less. Connect it like your normal modem and I can help you out too with the configuration.
I m not sure if it will work for you or not, but I created an ad-hoc connection using the Wireless USB Adapter in my Desktop to create JUST a wireless single connection to my PS3. It worked fine. Google : Ad-hoc internet sharing
Baldrick2dogs from what I understood you have a problem with your Wireless Router as it can't maintain a stable connectivity. It could be a problem with the router, but I have the same problem here at home with Q-Tel wireless router as it keeps on restarting itself and I'm losing the connection from time to time.
Your desktop got also a wireless device connected to it [correct me if I'm wrong] whether it's a USB or a PCI device. So you don't need to connect it through a network cable.
I don't know how is the situation exactly at your home or what are you trying exactly to do but some options would be:
1- A device that can be connected to Q-Tel router would be a wireless access point that will get it's connectivity from Q-Tel router and has only one port on it's back so you won't be able to connect any devices to it but Q-Tel router only [so easy no need for any configuration].
2- A wireless router that would be connected to Q-Tel router, but you have to disable the DHCP service on your router as Q-Tel router will do the job.
3- Simply a Switch the would be connected to Q-Tel router again and depending on the number of ports [5 - 8 - 16] you can connect as many clients as you wish but through LAN network cables [wired].
4- Remove completely Q-Tel router and just configure a Linksys router to do the job, if you have a problem with the wireless range get the 'N' series instead of the 'G' series as the coverage area is better [still would depend on the building materials of your home].
