    Hello is there currently a option to disable choice of WiFi APs to lock down the system to only work with one access point or a list of system admin approved access points? Just like mac address lock downs for routers however in reverse pointing toward the wireless router. Devices are getting to be so small they are now able to download from items the size of a Tamagotchi that have built in APs. They even made a tamagotchi + Gameboy and it downloads data by changing your PC's access point's to point toward the small device, the small device comes with a built in access point. This is used to i

  2. Configure Wireless Access Point

    I have an existing network using a Buffalo N300 wireless router configured as 192.168.11 and 255.255.255

    I have recently purchased a Sony Bravia TV with internet capability and would like to connect a second router – the Belkin F5D-8233 – as an access point for the TV. As I already have the router, it is cheaper than me purchasing the Sony wireless dongle.

    Essentially, the Buffalo is connected to my PC in one room and provides the internet access. The Belkin would be in another room, connected via Ethernet to the TV.

    I have set the Belkin up to use 192.168.11.10 with the same SSID and security settings as the Buffalo. I have also set it up as an Access point.

    I have connected the Belkin and the Buffalo together via the Ethernet LAN ports to try and do an initial configuration but I cannot see the Belkin when I do this even though the LAN ports light up.

    Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to configure the Belkin so that it gets internet access wirelessly in the other room?

    I have been able to confure the TV so that it sees and connects to the Belkin but obviously this is of little use unless it can connect to the internet through that connection.

    Thanks, any help appreciated.

    Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

    I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

    I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

    Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

    Upgrading access points

    I have a office building approximately 120ft x 100ft. Currently there are three access points (Linksys WAP54G) and i am having dropped connections constantly. The access points are connected to a network switch. I have on average around 60 active connections (employee phones, laptops, ect). Is it better to upgrade all three access points, or just install a good router in the middle of the building to handle all the traffic?
