    Total connections on one wireless router
    I have a comcast netgear wireless router and it allows me max 5 devices to connect to it. In my home I have more then 5 connections to make to go on internet.
    I have connected a 2wire wireless router but somehow cannot get to connect all the PCs/Laptops/PDAs connect to the 2wire router.
    Can someone help as to how I can make all the users to connect to the internet through 2wire wireless router.
    Thanks

    You need to go into the admin on the twire and allow more than 5 DHCP addresses. Some 2wire units only have 5 allowed DHCP addresses out of the box.
