I'm wondering if someone could guide me with instructions on getting another computer to work on my router? I have a netgear router and one laptop connected wireless. We have an old laptop that doesn't have wireless so I got an ethernet cable but I'm unsure how to allow this computer onto the router. I have the MAC address of the said computer and I know how to get onto the router home page but from there I'm lost.

Can anyone help?
 
have you tried just pluging it into the router , usually it will go straight onto teh net if the router settings are standard and is conected by a network cable and not wireless ?


on my router if i go into advance network settings i can view the computers listed and tehre is an option to allow or not to allow it onto teh network

all routers are different , try googleing " how to allow another computer on to the network ( instert router model and make here )

some peopel are even nice enough to put pictures up for you to make it easier

if its wired and DHCP is enabled on teh laptop and router ( usually on by default on both) it will just work. The MAC filtering etc only affects the wireless side of teh network.
 
Thanks for the advice. I'll just go back and try again by plugging it in. What sort of connection would this be classed as - LAN? Just so that I can look at the correct symbol in control panel.
