| | On my LAN I have 2 PCs. I networked them so I can share files and printers. Also when my dad brings home his work laptop he can plug it into the D-link, one of the few routers under $100 bucks with VPN Capability and can access his work at DSL speeds instead of the dial up junk. By the way if you dont know, VPN is called Virtual Private Networking. It is more secure and creates virtual tunnels that let only you and the remote computer get in and makes sure no backdoor trojans are on ur pc that could access the work PC.
Setting it up is easy. Plug your DSL in the WAN. Then plug Computer 1 - 4 into the 1, 2, 3, & 4 places. It also has a serial port for a analog back up modem. Then visit the configeration page by typing in 192.168.0.1 into your browser and then let the wizard do the work and help you set it up. |

I have to admit that having a wizard is sometimes something that can be very useful to have on a piece of new and potentially hard-to-understand hardware. I love my Linksys WRT54G to death, and yet I still find that not having a wizard can result in not knowing about certain features of the router to the point of having trouble doing what needs to be done. As for Dlink itself, I have never been a huge fan of its interface. The look of the web interface is a little clumsy at times. However, as the previous poster has said, the Dlink routers get the job done just as well, if not better. I'm probably going to have to get a Dlink if I brick my WRT54G installing a random piece of Sveasoft firmware.

Linksys Wireless N 150 Router
Review of the router (4) 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....
Realvnc Troubleshooting With Router
(4) Hi, I have a router at home and I installed RealVNC on it. At first, my IP address (the one that
showed up when I hovered my mouse over the RealVNC icon in the system try) was different than IP
address that came up when I ran the "VNC server test page". So like the documentation said on the
RealVNC website, I setup port forwarding on my router and tried again but I still have two different
IP addresses on my computer at home. I tried both IPs but the viewer keeps giving me the same error
message every time I try to connect "unable to connect to host: Connection timed ....
Router Safety
Problems - not solved. (2) I have now conducted a few tests on my router and am led to believe if you are in an area someone
elses router and dont have permission, you can hack the router, find out all their website history
and view current connections. If you a WEP key installed on your router, this is the problem. Remove
it and use another security method, WEP is hackable and can allow users through quite easily, i
disallowed my laptop from router, then used certain software to generate the WEP, got on then used
Internet Tracking tools. It's so simple, people can Hack your router! use WPA or....
Share Internet Using Router And Modem That Uses Usb?
(13) Today I was trying to setup shared internet for someone and was having lots of problems with it.
They are using AOL DSL and had their ISP's modem. They have a Linksys router (forgot what
model...WRT something) and I tried almost everything I can think of to no avail. Here is the
problem. The modem connects to the computer using USB ONLY. It has an ethernet adapter in the back
of the modem but it will not work (needs the USB either way). After playing around more for over an
hour, I came to some "conclusion" that the other machines need the modem to be connected via ....
Server Behind Router
Works fine to others, but not internally (9) I have an Apache server set up on my computer so that I can test my scripts without uploading them.
The computer connects to the Internet through a wireless router. I can access my server fine by
going to "localhost" (of course), but when I try to access it on any computer in the network by
going to my modem's IP, my router's setup page shows up. However, this problem does not
exist when I do it from a computer outside the network. I have tried forwarding Inbound port 80 to
this computer, but it still doesn't work. I want to see the server's page using ot....
Router Problems
I can't connect the things! (2) I recently bough a new wireless router to connect my laptop to the internet. Before this I already
had two computers, one in the study and one in my bedroom. The study and bedroom computers were
connected to a Broadband Router (Alcatel SpeedTouch 530), one via usb and the other Ethernet. They
were perfectly fine, they could connect, share files and print on shared printers. Till i bought the
Wireless Router!! To achieve the best reception for Wireless I had to place the Wireless Router in
my bedroom. By the way the Wireless Router is a D-Link DI-524. The D Link was conn....
Dropping Off-line
Any way to test a Cable Modem or Router? (2) I've been having this problem lately of dropping off-line (always on, cable access) I
use to have to cycle (unplug and replug) the Cable Modem and the Router (wired Router) in sequence
to get back on-line. So I replaced the Cable Modem and Router. Now I'm dropping offline less
often, and I can get back on by just cycling the Router. Q. Is there anyway to "test" a Cable Modem
and/or Router to see for sure where the "stoppage" is? ....

Sharing Files Between 98 & Xp Using Router

On The Search For A Good Broadband Router
Wired or Wireless? (4) This is kind of related to my last post on VoIP. Like I said, I'm getting cable internet in the
next month, and I'm going to have to put up some kind of network. I'm in a rather large
pinch. With running a wireless network, I will not have to run any wires, and I can use my laptop
anywhere. The only problem is, is that the walls in my house are made of cement block, so my signal
will not be the greatest. With a wired network, there will not be a significant signal loss when
going from room to room, but I have to figure out how to run the wires through the ....
Network Storage W/o Router
SATA HD Enclosure for my Dorm (7) My roommate and I have been looking for a way to share a network drive. I recently bought a 250GB
SATA HD for my computer because I desparately needed more space. When I go to college in August, my
rommie and I want to share that space. Is there any enclosure that will support a SATA HD and still
allow two computers to access it simultaneously. I know that this doesn't seem like a network
issue but there is the possibility that we would use an Ethernet enclosure and try to attempt some
type of NAS set up. We do not have a router and we really just want an ad hoc....

Voip Ta Adapter Differences
Request the D-Link!!! (0) Hello All, I came home from vacation, to find that my VOIP phone didn't have any dial tone.
Did all the normal things, like powering off everything, then turning them back on just as I had
during my initial installation of my VOIP system. Still no dial tone. So... thinking how smart I
am, I decided to call my phone, and see how it did the "Safe Number" automatic forwarding. No go!!!
So... I wait thru the 22minutes of advertisments until I actually get a hold of someone LIVE to
talk with via their 800 number... and happily they were able to "Kick-Start" my TA (T....
