Hello,
My situation is that my wifi router is connected to a LAN(172.16.128.1). And my device is connected to that router(192.168.5.1). I want to access the computers(172.16.128.*) connected to the LAN in which the router is connected too!
Is it possible that I can scan my LAN through my android device?
Also my LAN is a dhcp so I can access any computer using their IP address but the IP address changes.

My wifi can connected to router with dhcp or static, i can use SGA to connect to
my Windows 7 pc and Windows 7 laptop and view add files on both computers
It is connecting via wifi I CANT browse access internet why.
Not a gateway or dns problem. I can see phone in router settings it snds & receives packets Helpppppppp please.
I don't know if its this new ****ty 3in1 router Comcast has forced on us recently or what but I cannot connect to my external IP on my phone while on my own wifi network. For example Transdroid; I use my external IP as the server so that when I'm swapping in and out of 3G/wifi I'm not having to keep changing it. However now, it will only connect to the server when I'm on 3G, not wifi. If I change the IP to a local address, then it connects on wifi but obviously not 3G. Not really sure what the deal is and it's not only Transdroid that has this problem. Emit, my VNC applications and a couple others are having the same issue. Just doesn't want to connect to my own external ip address while I'm on my network. Makes no sense. Any ideas?
Your router probably doesn't support NAT reflection (or it's disabled). NAT reflection is basically a set a firewall rules that redirects connections to your external IP to the respective internal IP. For example:
Your external IP is 111.222.333.444
Your internal IP is 192.168.0.10
Your forwarded port is, say, 80
1) When you connect from your own WIFI with NAT reflection enabled (by default on most routers), this is what happens:
You connect to 111.222.333.444 on port 80. Your router tells your phone that the actual IP is 192.168.0.10 and it should connect to that instead.
2) When you connect from your own WIFI with NAT reflection disabled, this is what happens:
You connect to 111.222.333.444 on port 80. Your router tries to connect to that IP and as you know, when you connect to anything on the internet, only the external IP is visible. So, the router sees that both the source IP and the destination IP are 111.222.333.444. The router doesn't know how to handle this.
Try to see if there's a configuration option for this in the router's web interface. You may need to unplug the router afterwards. I hope this helps
I am in university halls of residence. I have setup a Wi-Fi hotspot in my room using a generic router by connecting from the ethernet out port in the wall to a ethernet LAN port and disabling DHCP on the router.
This works perfectly for my Windows 7 laptop. It connects to the router and then to the uni internet without issues. However, although my Samsung Galaxy S3 (International i9300) can detect the network, if I just try to connect to the network as I would any other it gets stuck when obtaining an IP address. After messing around with it for a bit i found that I could get the phone to connect by going into the advanced settings and choosing "static" instead of "DCHP". I don't know what I was really meant to enter for IP Address, gateway, subnet, DNS 1 and DNS 2.
The router has the IP of 192.168.1.1 when i connect it directly to my laptop via ethernet so I tried that as the gateway, I set the IP address to something like 192.168.1.14 (So that it was similar but different), I set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the DNS servers I used google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). This got me connected to the router but there doesn't appear to be any internet connection.
I therefore thought that I had entered wrong information for the network (I was only guessing after all). Therefore I went into ipconfig in Windows and copied the default gateway and DNS servers and used a similar IP address (Last number different). I had the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I only want Wi-Fi in my room for mobile.
Sharing 3G/4G Internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP connected with Android mobile phone via WiFi HOTSPOT or USB LAN or 3G/4G USB modem datacard , and then use the wireless Wifi router as a WiFi access point for the other devices.
1) Setting up the router
Router WAN will not be connected to any modem, *** NOTHING ON ROUTER WAN PORT (NO INTERNET VIA PPPoE DSL , STATIC OR DYNAMIC IPs) but it will made to act as Access Point for "sharing" the shared internet connection on Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP.
First, one needs to access the wireless Wifi router's configuration settings, usually one need to connect the Wifi router, and then access its setup page either over WiFi network, or by plugging it to desktop or laptop in 1 of its 4 LAN ports. setup page is accessible by entering the router's IP address 192.168.1.1 on IE address bar or some other browser like Firefox etc. however consider your router's manual to see how to get to the settings. Ideally, resetting the wireless Wifi router and then following its setup guide would best way start off.
Once on Wireless Wifi router's settings do the following:
a) Enable the Wifi connection. It should be enabled by default, but some routers require you to manually enable it.
b) Secure your network. Under security options, there should be a way for you to specify a password for your new wireless network. Here you will have multiple options, probably WEP, WPA and WPA2. Set up either WEP or WPA/WPA2 security. WPA2 would be best if your router supports it. Consider having a look at the router's manual for that.
c) Disable DHCP. Look for a setting that says something about automatic addressing (or "DHCP"). Which is enabled by default, disable it – ****this is most important!
d) Connect the router to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP. The LAN port of Desktop should be connected to 1 out of router's 4 LAN ports via RJ45 cable. Wireless Wifi router will have one WAN internet Modem port at the back designated only for modems, as mentioned above do not use connect anything to this port so-called WAN port.
Once above steps are done Wireless Wifi router is all set.
2) Enable connection sharing
• Now if you have 3G/4G dongle data card then insert it into USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate your “3G modem” connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected USB port of Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections"; locate "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" connection
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to share it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or share it over Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
• If you have 3G/4G Internet connection on Android mobile phone connected via Android mobile HOTSPOT to Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP
Go to "Network Connections", locate Wifi adapter e.g. "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" connection connected to Android mobile HOTSPOT
Right click and select "Properties"
Select "Advanced"
Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"
One should be able to shared it over Computer Desktop/PC/NOTEBOOK/LAPTOP LAN interface connected to wireless router or if you two wifi wireless adapter card then share it over 2nd Wifi card connected to Wireless router.
Once done you are all set to rock the network by connecting other Desktops/PCs/NOTEBOOKs/LAPTOPs/Android/windows/Apple/blackberry’s phones and other devices to Wifi wireless router Access point that you had set up. Your devices should acquire an IP address and be able to connect to the internet with any issues. Windows will lease out more than just one address when using windows ICS!
I've been trying to connect to my Wi-Fi network, but for some reason it wouldn't connect. The only way it would connect is by disabling Mac Address Filtering on my router. Is there a way that I can connect to it without doing it? I've been trying to search for answers on google but I haven't found any. My router is the Netgear r6300 if any of you want to know.
The Mac address from your tablet is stated in the router as trusted address??
SSID visible?
