Unlimited - But your bandwidth is split by the number of simultaneous active users. 4 active users means 1/4 of the bandwidth for each.

Most routers come with 4 ethernet wired ports on the back and the wirless deponds on the manufacture. But usuall the number of wired is unreal. I mean a lot. Check on the box of the one that you are interested in, or go to the web site to get more info on that model.

Simple - Get a DSL router - There is a port for the incoming telephone signal and a (CAT5e) port to go to your system or your switch. The default structure will probably work for you.

Take your time and follow the directions. I usually have no patience but, I also have dsl and thought it would be a problem. One of the gentlemen suggested the N router, he said it would be faster. Then I got the N card for another computer. I am SO loving Best Buy.

The DSL modem will have an "Internet" jack in the back of it (not the phone line jack). Plug a CAT5 patch cable from the Internet out jack into the internet in port of the N300 wireless.

You need a network cable (yellow, green, or grey), it looks like a phone cable but thicker. You should also plug the power adapter into a surge protector. Next, plug the network cable into the dsl modem "out" and the router "in" jack. Next plug a PC into one of the other jacks on the router i.e. 1,2,3,4 etc. using the same type of network cable. You should be connected to the internet now! Just follow the instructions that came w/your router and there ought to be pictures to show you how this should work.

It is very simple to hook up a dsl with a router. It comes with easy instructions, but I will explain in simple terms. Basically you take the ethernet calbe that comes out of your dsl modem and plug it into the port that says input on the router, then you take another ethernet cable that comes with the router and plug it into the output of the router then plug the other end into your computer. Turn on the router and give it a few seconds and then you should be on the web. Good luck.

You have it correct. You need not turn on file sharing for the wireless laptop to access the Internet through the router. It is how our network is set up at home for several different devices on two level home.

Your list of connections are correct. Make sure to use the correct port from router to cable modem!
A wireless laptop (or any other wireless device) can connect automatically IF the device is correctly configured to do so. This means naming your network on the router and setting up security. Use your desktop for these tasks.
Files on one computer will not be visible ("shared") to other computers unless you specifically set it up to do so.

the connestion sequence seems right, modem to router and router to PCs either wired or wireless.
connecting wireless is easy and done through setup. the router setup program is straight forward and lets you set up wepkeys and pass phrases to allow your devices to connect securely. (use some security and avoid the no security option.
you don't have to share files you don't want to with some or all of the computers on the network.

1.Yes you are correct.
2. If your laptop can detect the signal from the wireless router, it should be able to access the internet (as long as you use the security password which you configured during the router setup.Some wireless routers, like the NETGEAR, have a password already configured for each router; you can change it if you wish.)
3. Couple of different ways to do this:
- set up a "guest" access where guests can get internet access, but not access your private network.
- in windows, set up the laptop's access as "public" vs "home" network which will allow sharing
- in desktop, do not allow sharing of files with other computers on the network

answer 6
Your connection settings are correct.
You should not be able to connect to files between your desktop and laptop unless you have file sharing turned on. Windows file sharing protection is separate from internet access via your router. Similarly, just because you connect via a laptop at Starbucks or Panera Bread along with a number of other laptop users, it doesn't automatically mean that everyone can see your files. Those settings should be configured on your PC. Additionally, you should have a password for your account on both systems.

Robert,
Try raising the router as high as possible in whatever location you have it in. Just like a antenna, the higher the better. Also, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for the router (current firmware version is V1.0.0.40_32.0.54NA). Hope this helps.

Windows 7 gave me the same message when I entered the same ip address in a blu-ray set up procedure as the address for one of my computers. I went on to give blue-ray proper router address and other codes with help of Netgear tech assist, and conflict went away. Lesson seems to be each device needs unique address.

This means that someone on your network has a static IP address and it is not reserved in the file server or the router. The router (or server) is handing out an address that is in use.

answer 5
It means that more than one of the devices on your network are trying to use the same IP address.
Short Answer: Your Internet provider Assigns you an IP address. (Internet address) - If you are using a router, the router assumes that address then hands out "Internal Addresses" to all of your other devices and allows you to "share" the one IP address. (everyone needs an IP address to acces the internet) -- More than likely, something on your network was assigned an IP address and does not want to "let go of it" and another device is trying to use the same internal address. Each device on your network should have its own unique IP (internal). Resolving the IP address conflict should speed things up and resolve the notification.

You don't even need the router for this. You can share your internet connection with a wireless adapter from within Windows. Do a google search on internet sharing and create an ad-hoc network for that. Probably will need a second adapter as this is usually done with a wired connection for the internet and then shared out via the wireless adapter on the laptop

I don't think that you can connect the USB device to the Netgear N300 Wireless Router because it does not have a USB port. It only has an Internet/Wide Area Network (WAN) Ethernet port for connecting the router to a cable or DSL modem. You would necessarily need an Ethernet cable to use this router.

Effectively your mobile device is your internet service provider. If it has an ethernet output or "Cat5/6" cable, you should be able to make it work. Many of the mobile hot spots I have seen are purely wireless. Some have an ethernet port and some are USB. It needs to act as the equivalent of the modem devices provided by the ISP's.

Go to the closest Best Buy and ask for a Netgear Wireles USB adaptor for Desktops computers. It's very easy to install...

Sure you can dude, just get the router as a wireless point so don't turn off the wireless setting on the router and make sure to have your laptop wireless option on, usually this option is mark by a blue light. Now you need to get on your routers settings so you can change your password so you don't have your access point open or may be you would like to share your internet with your neightbor that is your choice.
PS. Your desktop will have to have a Ethernet cable connected to your router and them you can play with the wireless connection on the other device (s) . good luck
