Problem using three laptops to wi-fi router.

Problem using three laptops to wi-fi router...?
I just received and connected a new wi-fi router (Vodafone Easybox 602 - I'm in Germany) so our family can use three latops. I can successfully connect and use any of the three laptops, but once another laptop connects it disconnects the first. So, not all three can connect at the 'same time.' -- Customer service is in German which I can barely understand. Any suggestions?? I'm not a techie, but fairly good with good instructions.

you either check the security options, or you can connect the other laptops with a wired ETHERNET Cable, idk if you'd want that, but thats all i can say. :)

use a wire to connect to router and use it or go return the one and buy a new one sorry if i'm no help because i'm from USA and i don't have acsess to that type of router if i did i would help you no matter what ^_^ P.S.I'm a tech guy

Found one on E-Bay everthing was in German but got the jest of what it is it may be for one computer only.

It may be a wifi access point, not a router. It sounds like you get only one IP address at a time, suggesting you are getting the public IP your ISP assigns to you. With a proper router, it will act as a gateway between 3 computers and the one public IP from the ISP. The router will assign 3 different local (LAN) IP addresses, and share the public IP with all 3 PCs. What is happening is that the last PC to connect is getting the IP, disconnecting the previous owner. That's because the ISP only give one IP per service. If there is no ethernet port on your ISP modem, you may be out of luck. You could get a wireless "client" box to connect to the wireless device from the ISP, and then feed that via wire to a new router, one that has wireless and wired. A lot depends on what kind of "client" boxes will access your ISP's modem. (G or N mode, etc...)

Hard to imagine that a wifi router only lets one device on at a time. I assume this is the usual type with four wired connections and a wifi antenna. I assume you have tried all three wired and that works but the wifi does not? If the user guide instructions are in German and you find a web or pdf version go to Google, then Language Tools and from the pdf cut and paste into the box and ask it to translate from German to English. May have to get a German friend to help with this, however, in the web config page, once you figure how to get there, there is a setting for how many addresses the router can provide. The default may be one so you have to up that to perhaps 5

Where do I find instructions in English for getting online with T-Com in Germany

Where do I find instructions in English for getting online with T-Com in Germany?
Everything I find is in German and I can't read German. I can't figure out how to get online at home. I have my modem and the green lights for "power" "DSL" and "LAN" are on. No green light for "Online". I follow through the screens in German to enter all my info but then when I press "Internet verbinden" (I think...) I still can't get onto websites. The orange light where I plug the CAT5 cable into my laptop is flashing like it does when I am online. How do I get online or where can I find answers to this problem in English?

I had the same problem. I just couldn't figure the T-online software out, nowhere was it in english, so, I went and bought a router, put all of my information into that, and am able to bypass the T-online stuff all together. for the router, the login was my: Anschlusskennung zuegenoerige t-online nummer and mitbenutzer suffix, allthosenumberstogether@t-online.com like 548646984956465465460006@t-online.de worked like champ since. Sorry I can't help more. T-online uses PPPoE over ADSL. make sure you select those options in the setup

You may use laptops, however, during takeoff and landing you may not. Only once you reach your cruising altitude you can. That's about the first 30 minutets after takeoff, and the last 30 minutes before landing that you're not allowed.
2 :
Yes, and you can use it in-flight too. Have a great trip!
3 :
Sure they are. I don't know of any airline that doesn't allow laptops to be brought onto the plane. Just keep it handy at the security checkpoint, you'll need to remove it from your suitcase or laptop bag and place it in a tray for screening. Lufthansa is one of the few airlines that offers wifi on some transatlantic flights, for a price of course. You may be able to connect to the internet if Lufthansa is on schedule with their installation of wifi onboard their planes. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/business/global/13air.html

a transformer.

If you are coming from the states, the only thing you will need is a converter from the plug ins we have to the plug ins they have (the prongs are shaped differently--in Germany, they are round). The power chord will automatically convert the 220 to 110 for your computer.

Right now I'm a exchange student living in Germany and all you need is a european conventer plug. They sell then in deparment stores like target, k-mart,ect. It cost $20. They sell a package with all the international adaptors. You just need the one for Europe. Is a round one. Ask for it in one of this stores!Hope it helps and enjoy Germany is beautiful! Bring a big jacket is getting cold really soon.
