i have one adsl modem which connects to one of the computers and also a router and i want to connect ten more computers to the internet also does any body know how i can do that?
You need to get a enthernet switch (I have the dlink des 1108) , this will let you add more computers to your internet connection. I have a total of 5 computers hooked up to my internet. You just need to get a switch large enough to handle what you need. I have a 4 port router plus the 8 port switch (total of 12 available connections) If you just have a single port router connect that to a large enough switch.
or more routers. have 2 in my network, a wired router in the basement connected to cable modem in the basement & a wireless router on 2nd floor connected to basement router.
If the current computers connect without special configuration, computers connected to a switch connected to the router will also work without special configuration (at least for the first 250 or so)
(Since your router only have 1 port)((Weird)) Your going to have to run everything wirelessly.
Go to your first computer, install a wireless adapter, and connect to the router. Youll have to connect by going to your web browser and typing the Default Gateway of the router in the URL bar.. Its usually ----192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
From there you are going to have to put in the default router password, search for a router table page or DHCP Table option, make sure DHCP(Dynamic Host Control Protocol) is enable and that the IP addresses are ALL set to DHCP or Automatic.(Nothing needs to be static
Next go to your wireless tab and assign an SSID(WIFI Broadcast Name)
And if you want, assign encryption to your signal.
Then go to each computer in your network and wirelessly connect to the name you assigned your router, type in the exncryption and voila!
