Is it possible to crack the system setup password for a wireless access point - wirelessly? I
understand how to use tools like aircrack and airsnort to crack the network password used by
clients, but this will only grant you the client password to access the network. If there is a way
to gain access to the system setup password of a wireless router, please explain the process to me,
so that I can take all possible precautions to try to avoid this happening to my new wireless
network... Thanks....

Hey boys and girls! this is my first post on these boards so please be nice 2 me! I have

computers! I would like to share files on my main computer with other computers in my home
network and havnt been successful in finding a way to do so yet! Any help would be apriciated

Hi, I was just wondering what problems persist for a wireless network if they are unsecured. I know
the internet connection could be used by an unauthorised source but what else could an unauthorised
source do?...

Does anyone know how I would be able to change my MTU, Maximum Trasmitting Units on a Wireless

So in my house at the moment, my modem is running into a Belkin G+ router. We have a 2 story house
and I sleep upstairs. My sister is also upstairs and her laptop picks up the internet... Just.
I'm getting a new computer soon in my room and I want Wireless-N. I know wireless-N has more
range/speed than G, but does this depend on the router? For example, will I be able to have
faster/more stable internet than my sister because of the wireless-N card, or will I have to upgrade
the router to an N series as well?...

This happened to me many times before and i eventually had to call my uncle over to help me fix it
up. Miraculously, it always works everytime he comes. So the last time he came, i watched carefully
and made sure i remembered everything he did. It was not exactly complicated, and he set up the
network manually for each computer. All he did was set up a wireless network using the wizard and
then set up a home or small office network using another wizard. I did it again with my new desktop
but it didn't work. Even though i set permissions for the firewall to allow it a...

Hi, is it possible for me to use both my wireless and wireline connections at the same time? I'm
primarily online using my wireless PC card for the laptop. But sometimes I want to transfer some big
files over to the other laptop I have in the house. Doing this through the wireless card takes ages
since I'm also using the internet and the wireless transfer is limited to 54Mbps...in the ideal

I just purchased a D-Link wireless router, a DI-524. On my computer i connect through dial up to the
internet. I have been trying to figure out how to share this connection through the router, but i
haven't been able to because the router is made to hook up to an external modem through a WAN
port. If there is a way to share my connection through this router, please help me with how. ...

For some reason my new custom built PC get low to no wireless internet signal in the living room.
My sister says that she gets a lot of disconnects (last time I asked, about 10 disconnects
throughout the day). It loses the wireless and after a while (no time table) it will connect back.
The router is in the bedroom less than 30 feet away but there's like a wall or two in between.
It shouldn't have caused this much problem though because I tried it on my OLD Windows 98 PC and
it doesn't seem to have this problem. It always has an average wireless connecti...

Just built my new computer and holding off on a new wireless PCI adapter for the time being. I have
an old TrendNET USB Wireless Adapter that I plugged into this new computer. The problem I'm

automatically /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

Hey, i started learning about networks when i was playing with settings on my laptop. I discovered
ad-hoc networks. Basically if you dont know hoe it works iv'e got built in woreless in my laptop
but you can get an adapter, and ive got the internet from my moderm by an ethernet cable. I can
connect to wireless and lan at once, and you can share the internet from the sending laptop. The
only downside is that you have to keep the sending laptop turned on to receive it all the time. what
you can do aswell is printer sharing, hard drive sharing (personally i have an exte...

We've setup a 54mbps wireless network, yet, the computers only work at a max speed of 9-11mbps.
Is this the usual speed? I know overhead takes some of the bandwidth but seriously.. In addition,
the router is just on the other side of the wall and I use the laptop by the router too....

Usually, to integrate WiFi capabilities into an existing LAN involves interfacing a wireless router
with an existing LAN and configuring it as an access point. If it is meant for free public use, then
it may not be necessary to encrypt the transmission, otherwise it is advisable to encrypt it with at
leas a 64-bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) key. Depending on the gain in db of the attached
antenna, the radius of wireless coverage can vary from 250meters to close to 450meters. Now comes
the stage where we need to extend the coverage of the wireless transmission, t...

Well, I have had a linksys wireless b router for some time now, but had been having issues with not
getting a strong enough signal throughout my house. Yet what seemed odd, is that I could get
stronger signal from all of my neighbors, even those who were down the street several houses from
me. And so I decided that it was time to purchase a new wireless router. Even though, the newest
computer I have is wireless g, I went for the wireless n because of the increased range, and the
thought that it will probably be a better investment for the future. I am impressed, immed...

I've been using ZoneAlarm Pro for about an year now with my personal desktop to be

wish to share my Internet connection with a laptop over Wireless LAN (Ad-hoc connection). I've
successfully configured both systems for the wireless connectivity, and have enabled ICS (Internet

Hi all, i have just recently upgraded my home network to a wireless connection. I have a older
laptop (maybe 2 years) that doesn't have a built in wireless lan. i am trying to work out what i
should do for a wireless lan adapter. Should i get a USB connector or a PCMCIA card? i borrowed a
friends PCMCIA card and put it into my laptop so see how the range was! it was really, really
bad! my friend also lent me his psp to test the signal sstrength. The PSP could get 100%
strength while the PCMCIA card could get nothing. does this mean that the PCMCIA cards are...

I am planning on networking my laptop and my mum's computer via a wireless network. I was gonna
do it over the internet but then thought it would be to slow, so I decided to check and see what you
guys would suggest. So what is the best way to network them? Even if it isn't wireless, what
would be the best way? And roughly how much would it set me back?...

Just a post for people thinking about going wireless... what do I think about it? I feel its safe.
If you get the right router people will be able to get in but be in hacker limbo unless there

a big fish) What do you think?...

I was thinking of changing the long phone line (around 10 m) from the jack to my modem with a router
and then a direct network cable connection to the computer. Do you think I would see any
performance benefits? I don't usually have problems but now and then the line gets full of
static for no apparent reason then clears up. The phoneline actually runs behind my tv and
amplifiers so I'm not sure if there's any interference going on. Had the phone company
check the cables several times and they said nothing is wrong... Also if I put in a wireless
router, is...
