Wireless routers, or rogue access points create loops in the network, cutting off students Internet service on the switch that is affected. The Clean Access login box, by default, should pop-up. If not, right click the Clean Access icon in the lower right corner of the system tray. Make sure the "Popup Login Window" is checked. If this doesn't resolve it, check your firewall software to ensure it is not blocking Clean Access.

Most routers are designed for broadband internet connections only. The Apple Airport is an exception as it has a dial-up modem built-in and can also support Broadband connections. See similar questions...

Yes. Wireless technology is well suited for networking premises where running wire would be difficult, or costly. Connecting unwired to your Lightning DSL offers significant conveniences, in both home and business scenarios. If you wish to consider an unwired network solution, please contact our technical team for assistance. See similar questions...

We don't provide Free phone support for routers, but most of the manufacturers do, here's a list of support numbers: See similar questions...

This is an interesting question. We have users that only have to reboot their router (or radio for that matter) rarely, like once or twice a year. We have other users that say they have to reboot their router every couple of days. Some customers experience more frequent reboots with different brands of routers. Sometimes frequent reboots may be caused by a faulty device. See similar questions...

The kind of network you install in your home is a personal choice. Each type of home network functions very well when installed correctly. Ethernet(wired) is easier to set up, cheaper and generally provides the highest speeds, but wireless(802.11-based) networking provides more mobility and flexibility of PC location. Powerline (wired networking using your home's outlets) is an appealling compromise between complexity and portability. See similar questions...

Limit the number of DHCP addresses to the number of wireless access points that you will be using. Optionally, set static IP addresses, set to non-standard network blocks. Consider using VPN, SSL, Firewalls, RADIUS, Kerberos or other access control, or end-to-end encryption. Most of these can be integrated into your 802.11b appliance. See similar questions...

Yes. Since CURRENT Voice is connected to a separate, dedicated power line modem, any devices that you have connected to an existing router will not be affected by CURRENT Voice. See similar questions...

You are able to use your adapter with almost all wireless routers provided they have an RJ-45 Ethernet port. See similar questions...

No. Wireless access points, switches, and routers are not allowed on ResNet. This is because of the way IP addresses (the way your machine is identified on the network) are assigned. Wireless can easily be used by other people you do not intend to be using your access point - allowing them to decrease your bandwith as well as possibly harm your computer. See similar questions...

If your friend/acquaintance connects to the internet via cablecom, notification will be sent automatically. Correct authentication was already previously required if your friend/acquaintance connected via a third-party provider (e.g. ADSL), regardless of whether it was to cablecom or another ISP. Thus, changes are not necessary. This is only a temporary phenomenon and only possible in the transitional phase. Once cablecom makes the permanent switchover this will no longer be possible.

Dial-up operates at 56Kbps. Our service operates from 500Kbps to 2,000Kbps depending on the service plan subscribed to, a performance improvement of 8 to 30 times dial-up. Our service is 'always on' so you don't need to re-establish your connection each time you want to use it. Phoenix Internet does not require any phone lines. See similar questions...

Sure! Although we have no idea why you'd want to. Once you've experienced the speed of our Wireless Internet access, you'll never again want to wait for traditional dial-up services. See similar questions...

The physical location of the wireless router along with the building materials inside your house and walls will determine the range of your wireless signal. A standard 802.11b/g wireless router will have a range of about 300' if there are no obstructions (i.e. outside). Wood frame/plaster/drywall will have minimal impact on decreasing your range. Foil-backed drywall on metal studs are difficult for wireless signals to travel through, and steel reinforced concrete or brick is nearly as bad. See similar questions...

Yes. We install both wired and wireless networks. Ask your Mercury Network representative or visit the IT Services section of our web site for details. See similar questions...
