  1. How do I get wifi to also work on a Windows 10 desktop connected to ethernet?


    My desktop PC is connected to my router, and it would usually never need wifi, but I bought a wireless printer and I'm hoping I can print to it from PC without connecting to it by USB.Wifi works on the printer and I can print stuff from my phone. But if I want to print anything from my PC, it can't send that via wifi. How do I get it to?

    :)

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    OK but why?

    NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

    Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

    Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

    Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

    To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.

  3. Remote Desktop connection working with WiFi but not working with Ethernet cable?

    My question is about remote desktop connection.

    Earlier I was using remote desktop between two windows 7 machines via WiFi.

    With passing of time I connect with via ethernet cable to WiFi router for both the machines.

    Then I upgraded the server pc to windows 10.

    And the reciver pc doesn't. After this the WiFi connection was working well, even the ethernet between windows 10 pc and WiFi router was working well.

    But the connection between WiFi router and windows 7pc wasn't via ethernet.

    Now I want to connect windows 7pc with WiFi router with Ethernet cable.

    Please help...

    Fart

    Brandon,

    I don't know what I mean. YES ON WIF i can connect to the internet, but you cannot connect to anthing plugged into the same WIFI ROUTER with CAT5 Cable ethernet. My MacBook Pro has WIFI and ehternet, ethernet wont work, but wifi will. My Dell does not have wifi, and I cannot connect to the network or internet at all. As I mentioned, I changed the WIFI Router about a week ago, problem solved, for 3-4 days, now ethernet to the new router does not work again.
