How should I configure my linksys usb wireless adapter to connect to a belkin router?

Jul 16, 2007 by seventhyearfalling | Posted in Computer Networking

Hi!
I try to connect my Linksys Wireless USB Adapter (WUSB54G SpeedBooster model) to my Belkin router. It connects but tends to disconnect quickly enough once I start surfing the net or download. I think the settings on my Linksys may be different from my router. How do I configure my Linksys adapter (fragmentation threshold, channel, etc.) to match the default settings on a Belkin router? Any suggestions on how to maintain the link? Thank you!

PS: Does anyone know the default settings for a Belkin router?
Thank you for the info but to clarify that I want to know what settings I need to match between the adapter and the router, either - fragmentation threshold, channel, ect. or if there is another reason why it would disconnect. I-do-security center windows have reduced mobility. Could it be?

On the router there is a reset button on the router, hold it for about 30 seconds still connected to the reset to factory settings.


As for the wireless card, once the router is reset it should just connect automatically unless the router is security enabled by default.

I have a wireless linksys usb adapter that allows my computer to connect to the internet. If I plug this device into the back of my xbox 360 console, will it allow me to connect to xbox live?

no it will not work. microsoft removed the drivers for all of the usb receivers other than the xbox 360 receiver.

Is the Media Centre PC dead?

Do you still need a computer in the lounge room?

There was a time when I thought that the Media Centre PC was the Holy Grail of home entertainment. I’ve got a high-end Windows 7 Media Centre PC in my lounge room, which I built a few years ago for a magazine feature. Were I to rebuild my home entertainment system today, I’m not sure I’d bother dropping in a high-end PC.

Media Centre PCs are jack-of-all-trades devices which can handle all your entertainment needs, but they can be fickle and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them to someone looking for a entertainment system which “just works”. If you’re concerned about the WAF then you might find a Media Centre PC brings more grief than joy.

I’ve been playing with Media Centre PCs for a decade. In that time we’ve seen the rise of many AV devices which can perform similar roles. You’re unlikely to find one gadget to do it all, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s better to take a best of breed approach to home entertainment. Find a few gadgets with overlapping feature sets and then invest in a Logitech Harmony remote so you can easily drive it all from the one stick (which does wonders for your WAF).
