Network troubles

Doc Mindie · 16 March 2013, 20:52

So I have Sky Internet at hime, and recently-ish we had to get a new router as the old one died.

However, it seems the new router does not support 10Mb/sec wired, nor "amiga-speed" wireless.

So I was thinking of trying to hook it up against the iMac and get access through that route, but I'm kinda lost as to how. Now, I CAN just download whatever on the iMac and burn to a CD to take over to the Amiga (got a SquirrelSCSI with a nice external SCSI-unit, which also double as the main Amiga PSU) but it's a bit of a hassle, especially when you could just download directly.

Any ideas for solving?

Okays... I've got an idea, but don't know where to start. I've got an old laptop, with a serial port on it. It also have a 10/100MBit NIC. Is it possible to SLIP into the laptop and use it as a gateway for wider access to the World Wild Web?

And how?

How can the router not support 10 Mbps? What is Amiga-speed wireless?

Could you send us the make and model of the router to check?

He could get cheap wired network switch which supports 10/100Mbps.
Do you mean wireless "Amiga speeds" as 11b instead 11g/n, mabe is time to upgrade the wireless card to 11g which is 54Mb.

I'd guess this is more likely "amiga-encryption" wireless (a.k.a. WEP). Have you tried the new prism2.device V2 which supports WPA/WPA2?

the router is Sagemcom F@ST2504n.

It refuses to connect the Amiga with Wired 3com 3CXE589DT card, but connect the PC Dull laptop fine with the same card.

The wireless card is the same one as provided with EasyNet Wireless from AmigaKit.com

Both cards connects and work perfectly with the redmond 2k commercial virus, but refuses to connect with MiamiDX, Genesis AND Easynet from the Amiga.

I've tried open (unecrypted) wireless as well, as that would work with the old DLink router (also from Sky) but no luck whatsoever with the new Sagemcom

Hmmm... I've seen on another site someone trying to use a PC with a bridged sollution as a gateway (PC connects wirelessly to router, then connects with crossover ethernet to the Amiga, the two card on the PC get's "bridged" )

I was wondering if there's a possibility of going the "other" way, ie, cabled connection to router, then wireless PC<->Amiga?
