What's wrong with my router?
I've disable dhcp servers and enabled Mac filters. I have the Mac addresses of all my devices but it's not allowing the third phone (a droid, other two are iphones) or the laptop to connect. Double checked the Mac addresses and all that, everything's right. Why won't these two devices connect? Is there a limit on amount of wireless devices that can connect?
If you disable dhcp you will need each device to have a static ip address that is in the same domain as the router.
If you did not give each device a static ip, you'll need to assign them addresses, or just re-enable dhcp.
The mac filtering will work fine with dhcp enabled. You should also have wpa on with a passphrase for security because it is easy to get into a network with just mac filtering. Mac filtering is a nice second layer of security, but WPA should always be used as well.
- Why isn't my belkin wireless router working? I just bought a belkin wireless router (type wpa/wpa2) and I can't seem to get it to work. I activated it on my ipod as well as my iphone and laptop, but nothing is working. When I set it up, the light that said "modem" under it was red even though I connected it to the modem already.
- What's the difference between a cheap router and a good router? Just wanted to know the difference between a cheap router and an expensive router, I know that is a very broad question, I'm just a bit confused on how a router works. Does it increase my Internet speed on multiple devices? I get 50Mb per second, Well at least that's what I pay for. I have a PS3 two iPhones and a tablet, as well as a desktop PC that is wireless. Can anyone recommend an excellent router under $150
- Turn iPhone into as it were an internet router via USB? Is it possible to use your iPhone as if it were to be an internet router, using a computer's internet connection instead of 3G/4G data? I don't have a data plan, and usually I'm in a place without a hotspot nearby.
