“I can connect the wireless router to my modem with a wireless gateway?
My router is a Linksys Wireless-G, and my modem is a modem Qwest DSL and has a wireless gateway. Now, to inform them of my situation .. The modem is in my office connected to my desktop that is where I want to stay.
Now my son is a big fan of Xbox Live, but we have an Ethernet cable long enough to reach our television and I’d rather not go the route and buy one.
So is there any way to put the router in his room so he can play Xbox and use your laptop in the privacy of your room and connect the router to modem wirelessly and still get a connection? If so, how? And I’ve heard Xbox have a wireless connector for the rear the Xbox, but I like to get out of this without spending any money thanks ha ha.
It depends on the Linksys router is about whether you can use as a wireless bridge, that allows the router to work in “Client Mode”. If your one of the versions of the WRT is possible that chance. There are a couple of firmware upgrades that can complement used to carry out that function. In fact there are several DD-WRT is one of the most widely used. The software has many functions simply were not included in the original firmware and running in “client” is how one of them. Open WRT is another not so widely used, but still allows a client mode operation.http: / / openwrt.org / is another and last but not least Tomatoes a fairly easy to use and works well too! Loading any of them for linksys WRT router allows you to work in client mode you need for use as a bridge and connect wirelessly to another router. Do not check hardware “lists in the firmware to make sure your router is compatible MODEL. Loading the wrong one can “brick” the router! Otherwise, you will need to run a cable long. (Actually not too bad to run and are not as expensive to most sources.
The local shops tend to charge much more than they should for the cables.) Here is a complete 100 107 cable can also get “bulk” of wire and make your own if necessary. Hope that helps-Edit – only a footnote interface Check the Web-based configuration on the router.
Many units (like several routers Zyxcel) include a way of setting that says “Client Bridge.” If your router has to creation, all you need is to select the setting and configuration of the “bridge.” That’s just a matter of entering the SSID (network identifier of the main router) and configuring the router secruity second and click “connect” tab. Its installation is complete.
There are routers and gateways that support “WDS” which is short for “Wireless Distribution System.” If both routers have WDS function can simply enable support for WDS. This causes both routers to “work” together as a “single point of access” and allows the “second” router to pass data for wireless ethernet radio as if it were connected with a cable. Check your routers based in the web interface to see if it supports WDS on both units. If so, give it an opportunity that may be all you need to do.
