Any ideas on what to buy ?

Wireless LAN Setup

1. You order or use your existing Cable, DSL, FiOS, Satellite, Internet access, doesn’t matter what brand of access you have or where you are located geographically in the world. An Ethernet TCP/IP based LAN is EXACTLY the same world over, London to Long Island, Istanbul to Ithaca.

2. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) sets up your Internet access and typically either rents or sells you a network bridge. They often refer to this as a “modem”. I’ll call it a modem too for the rest of this article.

Now you want to share that “high speed” connection OR you want to be able to carry your laptop around the house connected.

I recommend you Print this before you start.

1. Confirm that your system has a wireless adapter or install one. It is a hardware device you can buy at your favorite computer store. Costs vary from about $20 - $80 for the top of the line 802.11 draft N 2.0 USB type. You need one for each computer.

2. Get a wireless router. I recommend the D-Link DIR-655. Cost is $100. Get a D-Link N series USB wireless adapter such as the DWA-180 for $80.

SUGGESTION: Buy the same brand name of wireless USB adapter as your wireless router.

2a. If you are setting up a WIRED LAN I recommend Netgear routers.

3. Plug the wireless router directly into the Cable, DSL, Satellite, Modem via Ethernet cable.

4. Unplug the electrical cord from your modem for 5-10 seconds.

5. Plug the power cable back in to your modem. Make sure the wireless router is ON during this phase.

6. Check the modem for green lights.

7. Make sure that the properties of TCP/IP are set to Obtain IP address automatically, and obtain DNS automatically on ALL of your computers, and the wireless router.

8. Turn on or reboot your computer system(s).

Now you should be connected to the Internet.

For SECURITY:

Consult your router's manual on the procedure for the following.

1) Change the SSID of the wireless router.

2) Change the admin pass phrase of your wireless router.

3) Disable the broadcast of the SSID of your wireless router.

4) Enable MAC address filtering on your wireless router.

5) Limit DHCP on the wireless router to the number of IP addresses you need now. If you have a laptop and a desktop, you only need 2 IP addresses for those two devices. Use the range 192.168.1.5 - 192.168.1.6 for example.

6) Enable WPA2. If your wireless adapter will not allow WPA2 then use WPA. DO NOT WASTE time with WEP. It gives people a false sense of security. It can be circumvented in 5-8 minutes.

7) Disable remote administration of the wireless router.

The wireless router will connect to your current modem. The router will transmit your network so that you can log onto it. You will have to follow the instructions in the users manual to setup a wireless connection. Are you trying to connect a desktop PC or Laptop? You will need to install a wireless network card in your desktop or turn on the Wi-Fi for your laptop before you can connect.
