Question

Can a Linksys_SES_56621 router be connected to a mobile broadband provider in Dublin if I am currently in Cork and connected to a router there?

Community Answer

If you mean to ask whether a router that works in Cork is likely to work in Dublin without reconfiguration, yes, it is -- just connect it to the modem that is connected to the broadband provider, then connect your PC to the router. Provided that the broadband service is active, you should be good to go.

Question

I have a WRT 54 GS, and I use the MAC filter for security. If I upgrade to a WRT 3200 ACM, does it also have the option to use a MAC filter to restrict access?

Community Answer

Yes, it will also have MAC filter for security. Usually, this is one of the basic wireless security features, and it is included in almost all the wireless routers.

Question

How can I take off the Linksys e1200 router?

Community Answer

Your router stands between your modem and your PC. Disconnect the ethernet cable from the router, leaving the other end connected to the modem, and plug the disconnected end directly into your PC. You may want to substitute a longer cable, because the ones used to go from modem to router are usually short.

Question

My brother lives directly across the road from me and I have the password to his WiFi box. Can I use my Linksys router as a extender to get on his Wi-Fi?

Some routers may have this feature. Check the manual to see if yours does. Otherwise, you may have to buy a dedicated Wi-Fi extender.
