I have wired and wireless connection on my desktop PC. Also I'am using IE7 and Firefox on the same PC. Is there any way to make IE7 to use the wired and Firefox to use wireless connection only?

Well, as I know browsers usually take the connection which is better, at least a browser somehow thinks it's better or maybe it's something to do with the OS, I mean Windows for example.

Most of browsers has different Proxy settings, so theoretically you can use something like Privoxy from http://www.privoxy.org install it as a proxy program and through Network change browser proxy settings to use lets say your computer 127.0.0.1 with port lets say 8585 and on that port to connect to wireless only, I think it's something advanced user could do, I don't know if it's possible to something like that with Privoxy that it would forward to use wireless connection only somehow.. But I think it isn't impossible, depends on Windows too? never tried it, I try to turn off wireless whenever I plug in a wire into my laptop.

Wireless Routers

G G+ N (4)

So in my house at the moment, my modem is running into a Belkin G+ router. We have a 2 story house
and I sleep upstairs. My sister is also upstairs and her laptop picks up the internet... Just.
I'm getting a new computer soon in my room and I want Wireless-N. I know wireless-N has more
range/speed than G, but does this depend on the router? For example, will I be able to have
faster/more stable internet than my sister because of the wireless-N card, or will I have to upgrade
the router to an N series as well?....

Extending A Wireless Network

Wireless Internet (2)

Usually, to integrate WiFi capabilities into an existing LAN involves interfacing a wireless router
with an existing LAN and configuring it as an access point. If it is meant for free public use, then
it may not be necessary to encrypt the transmission, otherwise it is advisable to encrypt it with at
leas a 64-bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) key. Depending on the gain in db of the attached
antenna, the radius of wireless coverage can vary from 250meters to close to 450meters. Now comes
the stage where we need to extend the coverage of the wireless transmission, t....

Linksys Wireless N 150 Router

Review of the router (4)

Well, I have had a linksys wireless b router for some time now, but had been having issues with not
getting a strong enough signal throughout my house. Yet what seemed odd, is that I could get
stronger signal from all of my neighbors, even those who were down the street several houses from
me. And so I decided that it was time to purchase a new wireless router. Even though, the newest
computer I have is wireless g, I went for the wireless n because of the increased range, and the
thought that it will probably be a better investment for the future. I am impressed, immed....

Cracking Wireless Access Point Password?

Is it possible to crack the system setup password for a wireless access point - wirelessly? I

clients, but this will only grant you the client password to access the network. If there is a way
to gain access to the system setup password of a wireless router, please explain the process to me,
so that I can take all possible precautions to try to avoid this happening to my new wireless

How To Do ICS Through Wireless?

then set up a home or small office network using another wizard. I did it again with my new desktop

Living Room PC Getting Low To No Wireless Signal

My sister says that she gets a lot of disconnects (last time I asked, about 10 disconnects

The router is in the bedroom less than 30 feet away but there's like a wall or two in between.
It shouldn't have caused this much problem though because I tried it on my OLD Windows 98 PC and
it doesn't seem to have this problem. It always has an average wireless connecti....
