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

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely. The Wireless Mobile Network wireless network consists of industry standard 802.11b components. All wireless enabled computers and existing 802.11b on wards to g adapters should work. Performance may vary based on specific component specifications.

The number of walls, ceilings, and other objects that wireless signals must pass through will limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic principles: Each wall or ceiling can rob your MICRODIA Airolinks Wireless product of 3-90 feet of range. Position your Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

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.

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.

Yes, the D-Link DWL-500 will function with other vendors' IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless Access Points, PCMCIA, PCI and USB adapters. IBM compatible Laptop running Windows 98, ME, 2000 and NT 4 or newer that supports Cardbus controller. The maximum indoor range the DWL-500 can handle is approximately 30 to 100 meters depending on the building structure. The distance will decrease with doors, glass and/or wall in between

When installing the drivers for the wireless network adapter on to the pocket PC, client software should also be installed. Once the client software is installed, you will need to set up a wireless profile.* To activate a wireless profile, select it from the Pull Down Menu. Once you have selected the profile, select add or edit. Enter a Profile name and Network Type.

Check your computer's network settings - verify that your TCP/IP settings are correct. In windows 95/98, you can type winipcfg in the DOS prompt. In windows XP/NT/2000, you can type ipconfig in the DOS prompt. Check to see that your computer's IP address is in the same network as the DI-514. The computer's IP address should be in the range from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.

The module provides two ways to communicate with it in an embedded application. One way may use the high-speed serial UART interface, which supports hardware and software handshaking and serial rates from 300bps to 921.6Kbps. The module also supports a slave SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port which may be clocked at up to 20MHz. These interfaces are 3.3V TTL compatible and 5V tolerant.
