| 416208 | 2005-12-28 08:46:00 | I've got a USR 9106 wireless router & borrowed a DSE wireless access point off a friend. The model I borrowed must be an older one than the one the manual on their site is for because it doesn't have a client mode that I can find. I can use the WAP like a client if I use it in repeater mode, but that requires me to enter the mac address of my router, which I can't find. How will I find out the mac address of my router? |

If u use XP , open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all. I would say the physical address (if it appears), that comes up is the MAC address. |

| 416210 | 2005-12-28 09:55:00 | I managed to find the mac address of my router by telneting into it, but I can't get the access point to connect to it :(. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My router's IP is 192.168.1.1, the access point is 192.168.1.250 & the computer connected to the access point via ethernet is 192.168.1.139 . I've got the AP set to repeater mode & put in the mac address of my router. My router is wide open - no security. I can't find anything on the AP to tell you if you are connected or not, but the wifi light on my router wasn't blinking & I can't access the router from the computer connected to the access point. |

| 416211 | 2005-12-28 20:38:00 | Have you entered the ips in manually, like an ethernet network, and entered the router's ip in under the access point lan properties? Sometimes, different models of wireless equip dont play nice with others as well. This maybe the prob. Hmm according to google, the USR 9106 is a router/AP, and a modem? And there's quite a few issues about it, having connection probs. It drops all the time. |

| 416212 | 2005-12-28 21:11:00 | "ipconfig /all" only returns the MAC addresses for NICs installed in the local PC, not any remote equipment. fhctech.org GETMAC Returns the media access control (MAC) address and list of network protocols associated with each address for all network cards in each computer, either locally or across a network. Getmac reference page on Microsoft TechNet. Syntax getmac[.exe] [/s Computer [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] [/fo {TABLE|LIST|CSV}] [/nh] [/v] |

There is nowhere to input the router's IP in the access point settings - it just asks for the mac address. It is much easier to work with IP addresses than MAC addresses. Hmm according to google, the USR 9106 is a router/AP, and a modem? And there's quite a few issues about it, having connection probs. It drops all the time. yea, its a router, ap & modem all in one. The 9106 was a fairly new product when I bought it so google didn't turn up many complaints. I ended up getting some free cat5, so I didn't have to go wireless until now. What sort of problems does it have? |

Hmm it might be coz of the aerial I think, or if its out of range of whatever is trying to go thru it. |

| 416215 | 2005-12-29 21:36:00 | I bit the bullet & bought my own PCI wifi card & I get poor signal (24m/s) even though it only has to go 10 meters & through 1 wall. I think the access point just hates me. | Greven (91) | ||
| 416216 | 2005-12-29 23:13:00 | I would take the PCI card back and buy a USB WIFI adapter, if u have USB 2. You may get a better signal. As USB adapters (well these ones anyway) come with an extension cable. So, you can move them around a bit, and they're away from the back of the case. I just stuck mine on the side of my monitor and the other on the wall, with blu-tak lol. Are all you WIFI adapters (and the PCI card) 54mb or 11mb? (the slower speed)? |

| 416217 | 2005-12-30 00:56:00 | they are all 54 (802.11g). I looked at getting a USB version, but I didn't want to wait to buy a decent one online & all the local retail stores had really crappy ones that don't have aerials so don't have enough range | Greven (91) | ||
