Dialup Internet Access

Posts Tagged ‘wireless router’

Hi, I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router and I would like to know if I can use it with a dial up connection. and if I can How do I set it up. I have
Windows Vista Home Premium
My ISP is AT&T
and I have an Internal modem

Thanks in advance!

I am using my cell phone as a dial up modem. As I move around my house, my laptop loses reception from my wireless router, so I connect to the internet with my cell phone as a modem. However, when both are connected, I have to disconnect my dial up connection because when both wi-fi and dial up connected, the internet is only as fast as the dial up.

Hi.. I tried setting up my new linksys router and it seemed that all went well until I tried to surf the web. I can connect with a good connection but I’m not able to surf the web. The activity light by my pc’s system clock flashes frequently when I’m trying (and sometimes when I’m doing nothing) but my browsers (mozilla and IE 6) say they can’t locate the page. I’ve tried a bunch of sites. This is a wireless router and I’m connecting with a windows xp sp2 system. I can use the net fine with dialup. Any ideas?

Thanks!

what does securing the wireless network do? my signal used to be fine(11mbps low signal) but recently my status keeps saying 1mbps and no signal but i am connected and have like short periods where its runs fine(altho slowlike dialup) yet constantly says 1mbps and no signal. does adding a wep key or whatever it is also affect comps connected by ethernet cables? cause theres 2 comps connected to my wireless router but they arent mine and they dont have administator priviledges and i dont know who set them up so i cant do anything with them. some ppl say someone might be piggybacking my signal but unless they are right outside the building i dont see how. and i have a utility to see other wireless signals and thier channels and im on channel1 while others are on 6. past 4 pm and weekends no one uses or has acess to the 2 comps but i dont know if they are shutoff but that shouldnt matter right? the only thing between my laptop and my router is some walls and a floor.
im looking into getting a direcional antenna thing for my dlink router but i dont want to waste the money if it wont help. can anything on my laptop be messing with my incoming signal to confuse it or something or any tweaks i can mak to my laptop/wifi card(its built in)

im connected to the internet wirelessly and am getting a decent connection but when i mouse over the icon its saying 1mbps and no signal all the time. from my distance from my router it used to say 10mbps and low signal a week ago but something happened and i had to reset my router and set it up differently. used to have my router connected thru a hub and that thru another non wireless router, something happened and i had to do modem-my wireless router-hub. my conection seems ok but i cant download anything or view gifs(take to long to dl). its like being back on dialup. whats going on? the 2 comps connected to the router are turned off also.
