Wifi, Router?

Ok so planning to buy a router so I can use my wifi iPod touch.


Link Systems ... Wireless "N" router.

How do I set up a Wifi router when the main computer uses a router to get the internet?

My computer's internet is from Verizon and it has a router to connect it to the internet. Well I bought a Wifi router so that I could share the connection but I don't know how to set it up. I need help please!


We can draw a map like:

Router ---> Wifi Router ------> Wired/wireless computers.


You need to attach the router cable with the WAN side of wifi router and then attach all your computers with the Wifi router either through a cable or wirelessly.

Terry and Clarence Low: WiFi router, radio questions

Q: I have a Netgear router that is several years old. It seems to lose its ability to broadcast the WiFi signal pretty often.

I end up unplugging the power adapter from the device, then restarting it, which restores the signal for about a week.

Because they don't really cost much and I think I can benefit from a wireless router with greater range, if I replace it with another of the same brand and keep the SSID and password the same, will my laptop and iPhone simply be able to see the new router and resume functionality?

A: Before replacing the current wireless router, I recommend going to Netgear's website or logging into the router's administrative control panel and seeing if a firmware or driver update is available for your model.

If so, download and install it and see if this resolves your issue.

If you replace your router, your laptop and iPhone may not connect automatically. Even if you re-input your SSID and security key, the router has a unique MAC address and

Add IR control to your WiFi router - Hack a Day

Surprisingly there’s a lot of space in the router case to add more electronics. He connected a 7805 voltage regulator to the 12v supply for the router and used it to power an IR receiver module and an ATmega328. Because the serial port of the router needs 3.3v he uses a zener diode and resistor to drop the communications voltage. By loading Tomato as the router firmware the remote control signals can be communicated back to a python script running on the host machine.

We do have a few opinions about possible improvements. The use of an ATmega328 is about 30kB worth of overkill. We know that software-based usb infrared receivers run on under 2 kilobytes of programming space. Also, the IR receiver module used (TSOP1738) is obsolete. In this case, we might recommend the TSOP34138. By changing to this part and using a low-power AVR you should be able to run off of the router’s 3.3v regulated supply. This would get rid of the additional regulator and prevent adding even more heat inside the router chassis.

But hardware selection arguments aside, we love the creativity of this solution. Nice work!
