rayboy asked:

I had wireless modem type-G (old style) , and it working well with my 3 years old laptop . My lap top has a build-in wireless internet receiver type-G.

Now If I buy a new wireless modem type-N, then does my laptop still working ??

Do I need to buy a laptop “wireless modem interface card type-N” for the laptop to get signal from wireless modem (type-N) ??

Do they sell a wireless modem type-N that will work with laptop with build-in wireless internet receiver type-G without adding hardware on the laptop ???

I have a WRT54G Linksys rourter and we got comcast today and set it up, and of course would like to have the network secured. We installed the router and everthing is good.. changed the SSID name and input my own “passphrase” and generated a huge long key. then i unplug the ethernet cable, ” all we use are two laptops” search for wireless networks, locate the secured one attempt to connect, might work might not.. and if so ask me for my passphrase and will not work!!! says bad pass, i even tried that huge one the ” bdd2944daf….” any ideas? oh ya, then i got mad and disabled all security and it works awsome!! excellent speeds and range, but i need to secure it. thanks for any help, will explain more if any one is willing to take the time. ps. one laptop is XP and one is VISTA ( yuck ). ;)

How do I get my Linksys router (WRTG54 model) and my 2wire broadband wireless modem to work together?

Lyndsey M asked:

I can get connected to the Internet if I connect my laptop and 2wire together with an ethernet cable or if I use the wireless option with the 2wire. I cannot get connected if I hook the router and modem together and try to access the Linksys wirelessly. I have AT&T DSL. It seems that the Linksys is ignoring the 2wire. Right now I have the wireless option on the 2wire disabled because the signal is so poor coming from it (even from across the room), but the Linksys’ signal is excellent.

How do I force the 2wire to be a plain modem so that I can access the Internet off of the Linksys? And yes, I’ve called both Linksys and AT&T and I’ve powered down and reset both the 2wire and the Linksys. I’ve even worked with moving the 2wire closer (not too close; like across the room) to improve the signal as an option. Serious help, short of returning the 2wire to AT&T, is needed.
I tried going to the 2wire support page as has been suggested and that didn’t really tell me anything. It doesn’t say where I am supposed to enter that information on the router’s administration page.
Also the router is 802.11g/b, if this makes a difference.
