Your router has an lan address or IP. Something like 192.168.1.1. This is what you must connect to. Each of the machines you want to connect must have (in this example) an IP number between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.225. As long as your machines all have a unique IP they should all connect to your router. Your modem will have a gateway and typically this will be something like 10.0.0.1. So setup for one machine may look like this [192.168.1.3 subnet 255.255.255.0

To find these setting, click on your lan connection, select "properties" and choose "Internet Protocol TCP/IP". Here you will see these settings. Your router guide will give you these settings, make sure you get them from your router guide.

SOURCE: my laptop has WiFI and and LAN port. I have a wiFI

this is one hell of an interesting question..

theoretically you should be able as long as you can configure each applicaton to work with one and only one component which I believe is not possible to configure.

there's a good article I found regarding this set up that I believe explains the reason why you may only be able to use this type of set up for fault tolerance issue but not a way to double the bandwidht access and/or make it independent one from the other. see article here

now the problem is that with the dns registration you may get 2 different ip addresses for each adapter but when a remote dns server is to resolve this, it may pick at randome what ip address to use. this means you can't control this unless the computer were to have 2 names which is unlikely to be possible.

the article also talks about metric calculations which are used by routers to determined routing in between different segments (the internet is a very complex network of routers. this explanation applies at a corporate type of level when you may have different routers routing info in between network segments (between department for example that belong to the same company) and only applicable if you have control over these router to modify how packets are sent over one link instead of the other. you only have control over one router so the situation falls out of your control as you don't need to control that router but the applications that are working with it.

on top of that, you are still using the same network connection as your router only has 1 connection to the isp provider no matter how you connect to it, you will be relying only on that bandwith wich is the defining factor on your connection speed to internet. it's sort of like buttleneck/funnel type of scenario.

bottom line: unless your application can be configured to use one network adapter, the control depends on variables out of your control. and only your computer will make those determinations based on metric and link speeds.

SOURCE: TP-Link TL-WR642G recovery after failure upgrade to latest firmware

may find this page helpful. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php...om_a_Bad_Fl ash Its not for the TP-Link router but the same principle could be applied to you with the correct firmware. Its worked for me on more than a few occasions. Providing you can ping the router via a lan cable then the chances of recovering it are very high.

Why doesn't my netgear extender ask for name and password when I try to use it to connect to internet. It tells me that there is an authentication problem

Hi there! smile.gif Please note that the Tenda 150mbps Wireless Range Extender A3 uses a default IP address of 192.168.0.254 - you must set your IP address to the 192.168.0.* range (* = any number between 2 and 253) to login.

The default access username / password (if required) are admin and admin.

Once you've logged in, you can configure the access point to route through your existing wireless router as the default gateway (eg. if your wifi router is 192.168.1.1, then you would route through that, and set your Repeater (Extender) IP to 192.168.1.2 so that you can connect to it and then "relay" your connection through the repeater. It doesn't mirror the connection details for the existing wifi router, it simply creates an "additional" access point to connect through to your existing wifi router - creating a bridge, essentially.

The extender can be linked to the existing wifi router via LAN cable or WDS. For WDS, you will need to set the IP's 1 digit apart in the last segment (see above IP difference), and switch them both in the Wireless menu to ""Wireless Networking Mode: Network Bridge (WDS), but the SSID must remain the same (eg. "Tenda1") for both of them (it doesn't cause a network loopback), and any wireless security authentication must be identical (password / pass phrase / key + encryption algorithm) on both devices. Again, as with the above point, remember to set the gateway of the extender / repeater to that of the primary WiFi router.

Blinking power led linksys

Return it and get your money back or exchange it. Those repeaters are cheaply made and something as simple as a power surge can fry the connections....but first, try to power cycle the equipment by unplugging it for a minute if you have not tried that yet. You might want a computer saavy friend to take a look at it...sometimes it is easier for me to have the equipment in front of me than to troubleshoot it over the phone or the internet.
