Rocky31186 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I will be honest I'm not very good with computers. At work we have Internet in our shop, but no router. So I brought in my router and hooked it up, says I have full unsecured connection. But on my iPhone it says unable to connect to Server. Internet to computer works great still. I have the disk to "secure" the connection but works security will not let me load the disk. Is this a loosing battle or do I have to change settings? Router is a linksys.

Buck531 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 You sure you're allowed to take a wireless router and hook it up to your work network? There's got to be some security issues with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 your work network is probably set up in a way that "router behind router" situations don't work, probably to block you from doing this on purpose. A unsecured wireless access point into a internal, wired only network is a HUGE security hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 There are multiple routers at my work, none of which I get clear access to, only one bar maybe. Due to being in a shop. I contacted IT about it and got it squared away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 plug PC directly into router, enter the address shown in the quick start guide, generally 192.168.1.1 or something, into your browser. Set it up as an access point. Unplug PC, plug router into network, profit. edit, nvm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
