I have heard about Wireless Routers that you can do this. But I don't know if it is true because I tried to find them online. Can anyone help me? Supposedly you can plug it up to a Router and your whole house can get internet from that one. X-Box 360, Wii, and any other Wireless computers are supposedly able to pick it up if you have this Router.|||I don't know about Alltel, but the other major wireless carriers have a mobile hotspot device. It doesn't allow you to "plug up" a normal broadband modem to it; rather there is a broadband modem built into the device. Currently, you can connect up to five wifi devices to it.
That closest resembles what you're asking for. There is nothing that exists which match your exact description.|||i've been in this situation with an alltel phone n it sucks i no. i wanted to use other computers with the same phone. there is a solution. you need to hook the device to your computer and buy online a router that plugs into your usb. it uses the computer to get the internet and broadcasts it as a wifi signal

How do I disconnect my SMC Comcast wireless router, in order to install a new Netgear wireless router?
I have a Motorola modem and the SMC wireless router. Can I simply disconnect the cable and then install the Netgear with the enclosed CD.|||That should be all you need to do, you may not need to install any software either.
Most routers are preconfigured and work as soon as they are plugged in.
Plug in, all cables and power up and after a few minutes it should work, but do check the instructions if the router has been supplied by an ISP as they often provide special services which require extra drivers or software.

How do I set up a second wireless router in my home?
My family has one wireless router upstairs, but it doesn't really reach the basement very well in order to allow me to play Xbox Live. So now I have a 2nd router (Not wireless) and I plan on setting that up in the basement and connecting it to my Xbox via Ethernet. So how do I do this? I have already tried just plugging it all in and turning it on.|||No, you really can't do that. There has to be only one gateway system for your internal internet to access the outside world, and all traffic flows through that gateway. In your house, that's the wireless router. Unfortunately, wireless signals don't flow all that well vertically, which is why basement reception is so poor.
What you need is something called a repeater, also known as a range expander. You configure it and then plug it somewhere midway between the router and the basement. The repeater picks up the wireless signal, cleans it up and boosts it, and then retransmits it so you will get better reception in the basement.
We have exactly the same situation in our house, wireless upstairs and PS3 in basement, and the repeater has made an enormous difference.|||you could tap into the back of the first router or if u have a jack downstairs just plug it in there(only if your house is wired) if not try to call you cable/internet service and see what they can do

How to connect my ps3 using a wireless router without a cable modem?
i have my ps3 downstairs in my theatre room, and my computer is upstairs, i have a cable modem, and i have wifi but the ps3 connects and will then disconnect moments after... i want to buy a wireless router to put downstairs. is it possible to not connect the wireless router using the cable modem or computer because i can't have cables running all the way from upstairs to downstairs.|||Cable modem has to connect to the router. That is how the router gets its connection that it puts throught the air waves. Now I think you can get something called a bridge that will allow the connection to come downstairs. It will not have wires but google it or go to Best Buy and they will have the stuff on the site.
There is something that will work I just dont know if its called a bridge I forgot.

Can I plug my wireless router into the back of my computers ethernet port to share the Internet?
And how do i configure my computer to do so. And also my wireless router is a Netgear WGR614.|||That's how it works, YES.
However, you have to understand the order of the connections..
The MODEM gets plugged into the back of the router FIRST, into the slot marked INTERNET on the back of the router.
Then, you just run the cable that came with the router from any one of the other 4 slots on the back of the router directly to your computers
network card.
Then just run the software that came with the router from the computer the router is physically attached to.
Its pretty simple. Then, depending on whether you have a wireless router or wired router, you will set up a wireless network name an so forth.
If you are just using a wired setup, you will simply run another cable from one of the three remaining slots to your other computer.
Just remember.....the MODEM gets plugged into the slot marked INTERNET on the back of the router, and the other things such as computers, network printers and so forth go into the other slots on the back of the router.|||Connect the cable/dsl modem to the router's WAN port(sometimes named as Modem Port, internet port, Up-link port).
Then connect the router's LAN port to the computer.
Then turn off everything.
Turn on cable/dsl modem, wait few minutes until most lights show up.
Turn on the router, wait few minutes until most lights show up.
Turn on the PC.|||The router will have both wired and wireless. It's all about connecting the cables properly. There should be a wan or Internet port on the back of the router. Connect that to your modem. The port will be a port further away from the other ports. The other ports that are closer together than the one far apart will connect to the computers. That's it, it's all plug and play.
Instead of wireless, I highly recommend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KWdOLgy鈥?/a>

What wireless router and xbox live adapter do I need for my xbox?
I need to buy a wireless router to be able to play xbox live and it would go on the middle of 3 floors. I want something that would cover the whole house but not to expensive. Should I go for G or N? And which xbox network adapter should I get with that? Does it make a difference?
Thanks in advance!!!!!|||Wireless N router is the way to go. The G routers are getting to be quite outdated. The N has a stronger signal and runs faster, so you'll need it for your Xbox Live connection.
Also (assuming you're asking about a 360), I'd get whatever adapter you can find a good deal on...They really don't make that many to choose from, and there isn't a significant difference between them.
Check online though, because it'll probably be much cheaper than stores.|||i got a g and found out it didn't support online gaming so i had to go with the n. it has the longest range and the cheapest i found was either 60 or 80 not sure thought.|||yeah i bought the new adapter for the 360 the other day, its a load better, faster streaming and alot less lag on mw2 :-). i think N is ment to be the best isnt it?|||if you got a laptop you dont need a wireless router :)|||I would get them both N. They have less lag and the Adapter for the 360 has 2 antennas so that it connects better.|||i think all u need is wifi in ur house. then download the disc that comes with it on ur xbox. then ur good to go

How do I get my wireless router to work?
Only half of my house gets wireless internet connection, so I went out and bought another wireless router. Can I just hook up a wireless router on the other side of the house, or do I need to buy another modem to go along with it?|||Check this link on the KB of Netgear to wirelessly link 2 routers. I am curious on how dense the house is cause a router can easily run 150 ft. You should be able to cover the whole house with a N standard router|||I would call your internet provider, such as Time Warner, Verizon, etc. They can tell you EVERYTHING you need to know and how to hook it up step by step.|||http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6548/1/ this may intrest you and if your router is not the ones on the list then yes you can use it as an access point the owners manual should tell you how to do this, you do not need another modem If im correct you household can only handle one modem!|||here it is simple. unplug everything, then plug it all back in.|||um that will not help your problem at all|||Some router models can be made to "repeat" the signal to the original router.. you can google wifi repeater to see examples and see if it covers your model. There are also some ready made devices listed below do do that. There are also stronger "High Gain" antennas you can put on your router if the antennas come off.. If you use the 2 routers change the channels so they are not the same as each other.
You must have tried moving the box to see if you can cover more house that way..
You could run Ethernet Cat5 cable from the main of the second router to one of the numbered inputs of the main router if you really have to but that's a pain and defeats the purpose of wireless anyway. You can't have two modems running at the same time on the same line|||This will not work. Wireless routers are not wireless range extenders. Plus these are not the easiest thing in the world to setup.
I recommend a powerline range extender, or just go with powerline in those spots that won't reach. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KWdOLgy鈥?/a>
Newegg.com bestbuy.com tirerdirect.com and buy.com sells them. Search for wireless range extender. These are the difficult ones to setup. The easy one to setup is the powerline range extender.
Or if you want, you can ditch the wireless and go with just powerline. Just go to one of those web sites and search powerline.
