Home wireless connection, need help pls.
-
I have just installed a wireless router which support wired and wireless connections in my hse.
My com is using a wired connection whreas my sis's com is using a wireless adaptor to connect to the router.
The prob is that I'm encountering low surfing speed. Is there a way to find out whether is there anyone else who might be connecting to my router?? I can't even c my sis's com connection in Network Neighbourhood. -
For most wireless routers, unless you run through a set up in My Networks Place in every computer, computers sharing 1 internet source will not see each other. This is normal.Originally posted by flayn80:I have just installed a wireless router which support wired and wireless connections in my hse.

For the wireless adaptor computer, check whats the speed. Maybe check the connectivity as well, in case you really have a damn big house, or placed the router in a bad place.
You will only experience a big lag in speed when your neighbours use your network and downloads lots of data. With broadband and a decent wireless router, you can easily support 3 to 5 computers. -
your comp wired via usb or ethernet (RJ45)? how low is your surfing speed and on what base are you comparing it to? if its wired you can only use the link bandwidth yourself. if yr sis and yr cable using the same account same bandwidth..someone else steal yr sis bandwidth might result in even lower bandwidthOriginally posted by flayn80:I have just installed a wireless router which support wired and wireless connections in my hse.

u can't see yr sis connection in neighborhood network because its a router not a switch -
As some of the them had mentioned earlier.. unless u run the home network setup, u wont see yur com and yur sis com appearing on the network neighbourhood or My network places.. If u want to see who is connecting to yur wireless network, one of the ways is to log in to yur router.. and under wireless page, u can see how many users is connected to yur wireless network... but u can only see their MAC address..

at command prompt type: arp -a
this will show u all the ip address and mac address connected to the network at the present moment. -
Thanks for all ur inputs, guys! U all have been great help. I will go try the methods mentioned.
