For the use of wireless routers, we will explain the problem of wireless connection between the two computers today. Many families now have two computers, basically one desktop computer and the other laptop computer. So how do the two connect wirelessly? Next, let's take a detailed look at the specific steps.
Take a desktop computer for Wired connection and a laptop for wireless connection as an example. required equipment: One wireless router and two Rj45 dual-head Network cables (normally, as long as the Internet is not connected for the first time, the user already has one, and the package of the wireless router will be followed by one box ), if a laptop does not have a wireless network card, you need to add a built-in or external wireless network card. the built-in requirements for users to have a certain degree of hands-on dismounting capabilities, external can be a USB interface, or PCMCIA Interface.
Two Computers wireless connection Part 1: physical connection
1. connection between a wireless router and a superior device:
1. When the upper-level device is an ADSL digital cat, the output port of the ADSL modem is connected to the WAN port of the wireless router with an Rj45 dual-head network cable;
2. The original network is connected by residential broadband or twisted pair wires. There are two cases: a is a standard case and there is a network cable terminal box on the wall, connect the jack on the box to the WAN port of the wireless router with an Rj45 dual-head network cable. The technician of the B network company pulls the twisted pair into your home without connecting the terminals on the wall, only one Rj45 crystal head is pressed on the online head. In this case, just insert the Rj45 header into the WAN port of the wireless router;
2. Wired connection between the wireless router and the desktop: The Rj45 dual-headed network cable is still used. One End connects to one of the four LAN ports of the wireless router and the other end connects to the PCI wired network card behind the desktop;
3. wireless connection between a wireless router and a laptop (or a desktop computer): first install the driver of the wireless network card of the current (or desktop), so that the system can identify and display the wireless network card, in this tutorial, you must enable the wireless Nic function and set the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the "properties" of the wireless Nic to "automatically get IP Address" and "automatically get DNS server address ", double-click the red-cross PC icon in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of the desktop to go to the "wireless network connection status" window. Under the "view wireless network" tab, click "wireless network connection" to enter the next "wireless network connection" window, click the "Refresh Network List" button in the upper left corner to search for your wireless route signal. After receiving the signal, click it and click "Connect.
Wireless connection between two computers Part 2: network connection and other router settings
On any computer that completed the first connection, open IE, enter the default address of the wireless router in the address bar, and press enter to go to wireless route management (the default address is generally 192.168.1.1, the management addresses of each brand of wireless routers can be found in the Manual ).
1. In ADSL dialing mode, select "use PPPoE client function" in "WAN Settings", and enter the user name and password left by your network supplier in "User Name" and "password, select automatic dialing, and click OK and save. this is a one-time operation. After the wireless router is started, it will automatically dial up for access.
2. for residential broadband that does not require dial-up and authentication, select "automatically retrieve IP address from DHCP server" in "WAN Settings;
3. If the network supplier specifies a fixed IP address for you, select to manually set the IP address in "WAN Settings;
4. DHCP must be enabled in the LAN settings of your wireless router so that IP addresses can be automatically assigned to your desktop and laptop, your desktop and local "automatically get IP Address" and "automatically get DNS server address" depend on this pair.
5. If you do not want your neighbors to connect to your wireless router, share the wireless network with you, and squeeze your bandwidth, you should add a password in "Wireless Security Settings, you can enter the same password when connecting your desktop and laptop. You only need to verify the password once.
6. If you do not want to set a password, you can also use the Mac address filtering method to enable this restriction in the "Mac access restriction" of the wireless router, then, log on to the Mac address list of your desktop and laptop wireless network card, and your devices can be connected smoothly, other unregistered devices cannot connect to your wireless network.
