ALL About routers

mga peepz na mga experiensado na kaayo sa networking naa ko ask?

1. nag set up ko ug router sa balay, kay naa man gud laptop, ako sis nag gamit, pero im not sure when siya mogamit sa internet, so ang router must be ON always, does routers can handle long hours of use?

2. dili man ko expert ani na field, i just followed the installation wizard that comes with the purchase, sa SECURITY setting nako ky WPA-PSK, okey ra ba na, can it provide minimum security?...

3. is there a posibility na i can see (as Admin) computers who are logged in sa network? just for monitoring purposed, basin ba naay makasud na unauthorized, and if ever naay makasulod posible ba na maka block ko sa iya connection?

4. kanang built in SPI firewall sa router automatic ba na xa mo active upon instalation? ky wa man gud ko kasugat ug dialog box na mo prompt ug i ON ba ang firewall....

by the way im using wireless networking (walay wired connection existing except the host computer), and using a NETGEAR router...

hello bro,
these are the answers of your questions
1. yes! it can stand long hours of operations but depende sad na sa router na imu gigamit, YOU MUST PICK A DURABLE KIND OF ROUTER FOR IT TO STAND MISSION CRITICAL SITUATIONS ( 24/7 operation).
2. using WPA-PSK is ok, as long ala lang ka naggamit og WEP.... kay ang WEP its an old security technology na prune to hacking....
3. yes! you can filter the who will be accessing your wireless network. ad2 lang ka sa Management Interface (router) then go to Wireless Client Filtering... just make sure to know the MAC Addresses of your computers na naka connect sa imu network kay this feature is to filter unknown MAC Addresses na mag access sa imu network. but you dont have to use this if you will set your wireless security properly.
4. i think the default config of it is turn off, well sa akoa lang na na experience ha, i dont know sa ubang router if naka on bana cya by default... but its better if you will check if its ON or NOT...

and lastly, you practice this practice.... RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual)... for best results...

well, NETGEAR Products are somewhat OK pero naa na cla daghan issues regarding sa ilaha product... im not trying to be brand conscious, im just saying wats happening today..

need some inputs here peepz, ang ako router na install bout a month ago and functions perfectly well, ang akong desktop maoy host na computer meaning moay administrator sa router, all router functions could be accesed sa ako desktop, now naguba recently ako desktop and to the point of reformating it again,so nabag-o na ang windows et all.....ang router wa man hilabti so functional gihapon pag attach nako balik sa desktop mo function lang gihapon ang LAN and can connect sa net, but what is lost is my capability as admin sa router ky na delete man apil to software para maka acces ko sa router functions, unsaon man nako pag balik?

conditions:
1. the router presently is functioning, kung ako i reinstall ang installation cd that comes with it, ma overwrite ang configuration? basin nya ba di na hinuon mo function ky magka conflict na

2. my objective here is just to regain back the admin function/capability

thank you daan sa mga reply

simple ra kaau na... u dont need to reinstall something... wats important is that you must remember the ip address of your router and its user accounts (especially ang imu admin account and its password), then go to the internet browser type the routers ip address and it will redirect you to its log on page where you will put the username and its password.. once ok... your back to your administrative powers.... well, any computer in the network connected to the router can be an administrator, all you should keep is the IP address of your router and its user accounts or the admin account and its password...
