To bridge your Vonage router's LAN connection with your computer's Wi-Fi connection on Windows 7 Ultimate, follow these steps: 1. Access Network Connections: - Go to the Control Panel. - Click on "Network and Sharing Center." - Choose "Change adapter settings" from the left-hand menu. 2. Select Network Adapters: - Locate the LAN connection from the Vonage router and the Wi-Fi connection. - Press and hold the Ctrl key to select both adapters. 3. Bridge Connections: - Right-click on one of the selected connections. - Choose "Bridge Connections." 4. Bridge Confirmation: - Windows will indicate that it is creating a network bridge. Allow the process to complete. 5. Verify Bridge Connection: - Once the bridge is created, you should see a new network connection labeled "Network Bridge" in the Network Connections window. After successfully bridging the connections, your computer should now be able to access the internet through the Vonage router's LAN connection. If you don't see the option to bridge the two connections, ensure that you have administrative privileges on your Windows 7 system. Additionally, make sure that both the LAN and Wi-Fi connections are active and working properly before trying to bridge them.
