Hello. I have a home networking question that I have an issue. The questions is how do I connect via wireless means between my wireless built-in PC laptop computer and my Brother All-In-One Fax/Scan/Copier/Printer that has the capability to go into wireless networking, but it is NOT built-in. (MUST READ: In order to get the wireless capability with my Brother All-In-One, I have a buy an optional external wireless print/scan server accessory and attach it to the USB plug-in on my Brother All-In-One. Also, this Brother All-In-One has an Ethernet 100/10 port connection on the back side.)

You may ask, what do I already own as well so I can get the bigger picture? I have a desktop PC where as of right now I have a USB cable connected between the desktop and the Brother All-In-One. I have a Linksys Wireless-N Dual-Band Gigabit Router (Model WRT320N)(Does NOT have a USB plug-in on the back of the router — only found on higher priced routers.). The Ethernet cable is running from my cable modem to the router then connected back to the desktop PC’s Ethernet port.

Other important questions now rose directly related to this issue:

1. Do I have to purchase this optional print/scan server for my Brother All-In-One in order to get the wireless for my laptop? I am having a nearly impossible time trying to find this optional print/scan server. It appears it has been discontinued. Why can’t I get a wireless-N/G networking adapter (like a Linksys or any related brand Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter) and plug it into the Brother All-In-One’s USB port where I already have the USB cable from my desktop PC plugged into? WOULDN’T THIS WORK? Wouldn’t this work instead of the optional Brother external wireless print/scan server? Wouldn’t this work wireless arrangement between the laptop PC and the wireless network adapter on my Brother All-In-One?

2. Does my Linksys router need to be present in this wireless scenario? Meaning is my Linksys receiving the signal from my wireless laptop and sending it to my proposed wireless networking adapter on my Brother All-In-One? Does the wireless signal sent from the wireless laptop to the proposed wireless network adapter on my Brother All-In-One send the signal DIRECTLY or DOES IT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ROUTER?

3. Now I said I would have to disconnect the USB cable from the Brother All-In-One in order to replace this USB port with my proposed wireless network adapter, so I lost my connection between my desktop PC and the Brother All-In-One. This would mean I would also have to get a wireless network adapter for my PC desktop as well so it can also communicate wirelessly with my Brother All-In-One. IS THIS POSSIBLE OR NOT? If I am able to buy the optional print/scan server for my Brother All-In-One, I am STILL disconnecting the USB cable for my PC desktop too. SOMEHOW I have to get my desktop PC to work with my Brother All-In-One. HOW CAN I?

4. IS THIS LINKSYS ROUTER CAPABLE of sending and receiving printer and scanner signals? …or can it ONLY SEND Internet signals and NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING ELSE? DO I NEED SOMETHING ELSE?

Please comment and please let me know what I need to do so EVERYTHING "WORKS" with everything else — my laptop PC, my desktop PC, and Brother All-In-One!!! I would like to have my laptop PC to have wireless as I have this Linksys router already transmitting over the Internet signals.

Thank you!!!

i already tried the install disk an it dont work because it keeps sayin my ethernet cable aint connected and it is da lil light on and everything an i need help because i need a program or something to help me install my ARRIS modem

I know it sounds dumb but i just installed my D-link 524 wireless modem. Ok let me try to explain this I installed and the internet works obviously but what I want to do is try and place the modem in the middle of the house so I get a better reception but im confused at how to do this without losing connection with the adsl modem.
This is how its connected. The adsl modem is connected to the internet and it has a ethernet cable going to the d-link. My dlink has a ethernet cable going to my computer which i think is dead because it doesnt seem to be picked up although i could be wrong.
If i unhook both ethernet cables and have the wrouter wireless in the middle of the house does it connect with my other modem or how does it connect wireless its very confusing to me im only 15.
Im trying to connect my desktop which has wireless lan, my sony ps3, and my mums laptop. Please explain how I can transmit the signal wireless without ethernet cables if its possible?

I have a modem, that came with an ethernet cable. I connected it and I don’t know how to install it. I searched in device manager but nothing. I have an installation CD but that’s only for USB drivers. So how to I setup the ethernet cable?

i have an ADSL modem which came from my broadband service provider and i just bought a wireless router today, when i tried to hook it up it says that my ip type is static but in fact i have a dynamic ip address. my service provider wouldn’t provide any help because they said that it is not within their protocol to help install third party routers (its because they sell one) but they said it is possible and its up to me to hire technicians…

when i use my modem only without the wireless router
my bitcomet wont work
my limewire cant connect
i have internet

when i use the modem with the wireless router
it goes to the router’s config menu at first
when i cancel i connect to the internet
i dont have wireless connection, all wired

i dont have a wireless connection

do i need to have an adsl wireless router for my adsl modem? im a total noob at this pls give me any ideas or links to guides.
my modem is prolink hurricane 9200. i just found out that it is a modem/router
the adsl router/modem that my service provider gave me has no wireless capabilities

my router has wireless capabilities

the telephone looking wire is connected to the adsl router/modem, then the ethernet cable that came out of the adsl router/modem is connected to the WAN switch of my wireless router then i have another ethernet cable connected from my pc to the wireless router… i can access internet that way, when i try to connect via wireless i connect by it says LOCAL ONLY i can also only configure my wireless router once, because when i enter the address which is 192.168.1.1 it goes to the ADSL modem router page instead to the config page of my wireless router.

I have DSL.
I have a DSL modem and router, but do I need an internal modem or wireless card in the computer to connect to the Internet? Or will there still be a place to plug in the Ethernet cable into the computer?
