How do I add more computers to a wireless network?

Stardust asked:


I have recently moved home to my parents, and can no longer connect to their wireless network.

There is a box saying ‘attempting to connect’ or something, and then I get an error message.

I think the problem might be that my sister has got a laptop since I have been away, and so there are currently 4 computers connected to the network. I heard that some networks automatically set a limit of 4 client PCs, so how do I increase this?

I think I read something about logging into a router, but cant remember anything more. Incidentally, the wireless box is not physically connected to any of the computers.

Hope you guys can help, thanks!

    The default amount of wireless computer ( or devices ) that can connect to a wireless router is around 250.
    Most likely your sister was high tech and turned on the wireless security .
    You need the special code to get in.
    If the security is not on try changing the channel from channel 6 to 1 or 11.
    A good program to help you is network magic
