Two Devices - One Wifi

jakobrockz · #1 01-29-2015

I've never understood how IP works.

Can I have two different computers/iPads/etc. with two different accounts connected to the SAME wifi without any problems? I'd rather have two devices setup on my desk than having to change IP everyday.

No you can't, let me explain.....
If your using a Modem + Router, there are 2 types of IP's.
1st IP is an Internal IP, This IP is required by the Router to keep track of each device, example: 192.168.0.1

2nd is the IP that your ISP has assigned to you....So no matter what device is connected to the Router (which is connected to the Modem) will show the IP that your ISP Provided you.

Now, if you don't want to try and keep changing IP's from your Home Internet you can go another route, You can get a MIFI Device and use strictly for Stealth.

What about using VPN's MM78, aren't they an option here?

The following item is a Verizon Mifi that runs on 3G network.
Pros: Unlimited 3G Data, $5/Month for Service, Huge IP Pool
Cons: It's 3G but fast enough to get the job done without taking forever.

I've purchased this exact item from this exact vendor, You will get instructions on how to reload the Mifi.

MM78... does the mifi get new IP everytime the device is reboot regardless if the computer MAC address is the same or not ? or will ip change only if mac is changed like cable modem ?

and can I connec the mifi directly to my computer via usb or something... without using builtin wifi ?

Yes, just restart the device and poof....new IP.

Unfortunately you can't connect the Mifi via USB to the Computer, it only works in Wifi Mode.

MM78, is this the mifi you use with your accounts? Also, I have an older Dell Desktop that I use at home to run my stealth accounts. I'm not sure if can connect wirelessly. Does this device have a hard ethernet port to plug in to?

Yes, and as of today....I've yet to repeat an IP.

You can pick up a USB Wifi adapter for next to nothing. For example, I use the following with my Desktop:

My setup is as follows:
I have 2 icons on my desktop....
1 for my Ethernet Connection for my home Internet
1 for the Wireless Adapter
So for example, If I want to connect to the Mif, I 1st disable my Ethernet connection and 2nd I Enable my Wifi connection. This way I know I'm 100% sure I'm not connected to my Home Internet.

Make sense?

These are the 2 icons on my desktop that I use to control my Home Internet and Wifi.

Great info MM78!

Thanks Yankee, hope the info helps others in similar situation as aking.

MM78, If I buy a cell booster can I assume it would also boost the service of mifi? My home office gets terrible internet speed from ATT and nothing from Verizon and sky etc...

I don't think it would work, there are some Mifi's that have ports for booster antennas.

Quite a few booster antennas on certain...chinese...sites /seen
