Q&A: Connection drops with my linksys WRT54g 2.2 wireless router?
Question by crusader: Connection drops with my linksys WRT54g 2.2 wireless router?
Hi, i have cablevision with an optimum online motorola modem with optimum voice built in. With LINGO set at UT Starcom G729, SLINGBOX, and a hard wired desktop computer with windows Me. connected to my router. Now upstaires i have another desktop, that has a linksys wireless adapter. This router constantly has to be reset. It is driving me crazy. Do i need to get another router, maybe WRT54GL with DD-WRT firmware. Or maybe if i can add DD-WRT to my router. I have no idea if this would fix the problem. But this is really killing me. Help

Wireless routers are very hard to troubleshoot, the best place to start is turn off your computer's wireless card and plug in with a cord. If it works wired than it's a wifi issue, if it fails wired it's obviously not interference.
Your modem may use the MAC address to assign IPs. I had this with Cox high-speed internet.
If it cuts out both wired and wireless, try looking for "MAC cloning" on the router and set it to match whatever your computer was that was originally connected. This way your ISP will think you don't have a router and it shouldn't keep dropping. That fixed it for me on Cox.
Another problem I had at my parents' house is cordless phones. 2.4ghz phones (or neighbor's phones) can mess up wireless. Does it work if you hook up wired? If it works wired but not wireless try letting it sit for a while and check back. If the problem goes away it's interference - try changing the router's channel (1, 6, and 11 are best in theory) or getting a 5.8 Ghz, 900Mhz, or DECT 6.0 type cordless phone, they are less likely to interfere.
Less likely but still possible is a failed router. I did have one that had to be reset daily (different brand though) and when it was replaced under warranty, the problem was cured.

Q&A: streaming my tv from wireless b connection?
Question by : streaming my tv from wireless b connection?
hello, I have a slingbox-type device called a hava/monsoon platinum hd-same function as slingbox lets u stream ur own tv from remote locations. I would like to watch my tv in between classes at school, but the schools network is configured using wireless b only, not g. Would the video still be watchable?

Q&A: Port Forwarding on my wireless modem.?
Question by jacobmbp: Port Forwarding on my wireless modem.?
I recently bought a SlingBox and am trying to set it up to where I can access it from outside my home. SlingBox tech support tells me I need to contact my ISP to enable Port Forwarding on my modem. My ISP tells me they don't support that. When I enter my modem's IP in my address field I am able to access it, but under the Gateway Option, there is no Port Forwarding Option.
I have an Ambit U10C019 wireless modem.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm about ready to just return my slingbox...I can't seem to get it. =/
Thanks!!!

Nyrius NAVS500 HD 1080p HDMI Digital Wireless Audio Video Sender Transmitter & Receiver System
You have a problem. You want to mount your HD television above your fireplace or other remote location, but you can't (either because of room, cable box placement, or an angry wife) find a way to plug in your other equipment into the HDMI slots. Luckily, for you, there is the Nyrius NAVS500, and while it does have one issue (more on that later) it offers you flexibility with your home entertainment center. Notes on the device - The Nyrius NAVS500 allows you to "Untether" your television from the rest of your home entertainment center. Simply plug the device (DVR, Blu-Ray, PS3, Xbox 360, or other HDMI device) into the *Transmitter* and then plug your television into *Receiver* and you are ready to go. The set-up is that easy, in fact, it is easier than hooking up a VCR. - Quality - The video quality is excellent (true 1080p) with a very minimal delay - less than a second. There is one issue, the audio portion takes about 5-10 seconds to begin (the broadcast is just silent... but it is not out-of-phase). This an be an issue if you are watching broadcast tv- although a DVR can solve part of that problem (it mainly would be an issue if you switching between shows). This delay should not be a noticeable problem with a Blu-ray, PS3, or other device where immediate audio is not needed. For some users this could be a deal killer, but for others it may not even be noticeable. - Audio and video are in sync. There are no issues where you see lips moving with a delay in the audio ...

Question about wireless bridge?
Question by : Question about wireless bridge?
I need to bridge my non-wireless Slingbox to my wireless network with WPA-Security. My current Wireless router is Wireless-G so I was wondering if the bridge would work because it's Wireless-N http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=42480559&source=EWBBASE&cm_mmc=CSE-_-google-_-ewbbase-_-Networking&CAWELAID=366930854. Thanks! And does it have to be the same Wireless device on each end or no, Like to of the wireless things linked above? Thanks
Best answer:
Answer by Hugh Parker
It doesn't have to be the same wireless device on each end, but each device on a wireless network has to be using the same protocol. Check that the bridge you're going to buy supports wireless-g - if it does, you should be fine.

You may have to hook the modem directly to your computer and change it to bridge mode, then connect your router back up.

Pros and cons DHCP vs Static IP for a home wireless and wired network.?
Question by John Dull est: Pros and cons DHCP vs Static IP for a home wireless and wired network.?
I have a Wireless Linksys router and use some wired desktops and wireless/wired notebooks plus plan on pluggin in a Slingbox.
Is it best to set my router to enable DHCP or to set it maually?
Best answer:
Answer by Bobby_420
I keep DHCP enabled, but some of my computers I assign a static IP to. Why? Because I like to know the specific IP for my desktop and my wifes desktop. Sometime I need that to access it over the network and do not want it changing all the time. Other than that I do not know of any benefits of speed or anything. Just personal preference.

Which router for wireless and wired network?
Question by mad dog in the fog: Which router for wireless and wired network?
My house is wired with CAT5 and most rooms have at least one network connection. I want to set up a router so that I can have wireless access to the network but also be able to use the wired network for things devices like Slingbox and Sonos. Can someone describe how I should set this up - i.e. can I just set up a single router to do this or do I need to use a wireless router and a separate switch? I'd also like to know which routers/switches you'd recommend in the 0 price range.
