Okay so i have a modem its connected to a netgear n300 router!
i know that access points have 1-5 Ethernet ports depending on which one you have! But once i connect the wireless access point to my network does it also extend my WiFi signal or does it only convert it to a solid Ethernet cable!

A Bridge converts wireless to ethernet and a Access Point is the wireless access point for a ethernet network. A dedicated AP will only have one ethernet port. If the AP has more than one port then it probably has Bridge capabilities. It can send out wireless signal from the network like an Access Point or it can Recieve a wireless signal and supply it to the ethernet ports in Bridge Mode.
Dont know of any models that can do both at once it is either one or the other that I am aware of.
To extend the wireless signal you would need a repeater.
That netgear you have is also a double machine ADSL+2 modem/router.

A wireless router will allow you to use both wireless and wired.
Yes, you will be able to use your iPod wirelessly (assuming you have the iPod Touch which allows for that) if you use a wireless router.
Don`t forget to put a password on your network so no one is stealing your connection!

I use 7-Zip to extract my .rar files http://www.7-zip.org/ which is open source and free. I would use these steps:
1. Start 7-Zip
2. Type in the Address of the files or use the Folder Icon to the right or the Dropdown arrow to the left to assist in getting to the correct folder.
3. Highlight the .rar file and click Extract.
4. Locate and highlight the File just created in the Extract. I always use the default and keep in the same folder for easy access, but, if you have created in different folder just go there.
5. Click File->Open Outside or use Shift Enter to open the Folder.Hope this helps. I have used one other Extractor, but, it has been awhile for that one and I like this better…David T.

Your best bet is to get your own wifi network up and running and connect the laptop to that. If you have a high speed internet access you may need to purchase a wireless router and connect that to your DSL or cable modem, or you may have a modem that has wireless included and just need to enable it. Contact your ISP and they should be able to help you. Hacking or accessing a network that doesn`t belong to you is illegal and will more than likely get you in trouble.

I want to bypass the IP restrictions that sites like Netflix have for iPad users outside the US.

A proxy is okay only for general unblocking and browsing on your iPad. Use a VPN instead as it supports better bandwidth and is also more secure (your whole Internet connection — data transfer — passes through an encrypted tunnel). For unblocking websites like Netflix outside US, a VPN is a practical way to bypass IP restrictions.

I would like to buy a Linksys EA4500.
I have 120mbps internet fiberlink with a max speed of ~16MB/s (16000kb/s).
I need 15MB/s + over WiFi on my laptop without any other adaptor (just pure WiFi).
It must pass 5 walls in order to reach my laptop.
Is it worth getting this?
Will I get the max speed possible ?
Will the signal be 5/5 ?
Note : I had a D-Link 635 – max speed was 6mb/s. Avarage was 2mb/s wich is very bad.
Also the connection was 3/5….. I had to return it due to thouse problems.

The speeds you`re referring to are theoretical speeds from your ISP to your LAN connection input only. The top wifi speed you`ll get out of any Router is still going to only be 300mbps – they haven`t yet come out with an adapter that`ll match the Router speed yet (I`d have it if they did). Ethernet top speed is only 100mbps.
The range is excellent – the EA4500 is essentially the E4200 with increased NAS support, and the EA4200 is a fantastic Router. The connection speed on the EA4500 is what`s advertised, though it`s faster on the 5ghz band. If you don`t require NAS, then an EA4200 is just as good.
Having said that, all homes are different, and construction materials are a big deal. If you`re in a newer home with regular drywall/wood studs, it shouldn`t be an issue at all, though placement is of course key. Keep it out of the kitchen, and try and place it on the top level of your home if possible for the widest coverage.
For your network device adapters (e.g., notebooks, desktops, etc.) make sure that their Transmit Power is turned to Highest, Roaming is set to Aggressive, and that they match the Router`s wireless settings for optimal speed and connection.
There are 3 places you need to change your settings:
1. Go to your Control Panel, click on Device Manager>Network Adapters, then Rt-Click on your wifi adapter.
2. Click on Properties, then the Power Management tab.
3. Uncheck the option to let the computer turn off the adapter to save power.
4. Click on the Advanced Tab.
5. Set Transmit Power to Highest, Roaming to Aggressive. Match the adapter`s wireless band/channel width setting to your Router`s. Save and exit.Router Settings
If you`re not getting decent connections with the current channel you`re using, try changing it to a different channel (e.g., 11 for G / Mixed devices). For N networks, use 40mhz channel width; Mixed or G, use 20mhz.
On your Windows Power Options:
1. Go to Control Panel>Power Options.
2. Click on Change Settings for your current Power Plan, the click on Change Advanced Power Settings.
3. Find Wireless Adapter Settings on the list, then change both menu selections (Battery and Plugged in) to Maximum Performance, then save and exit.Don`t forget to check your local environment either; never discount the possibility of RF interference from other electronics, e.g., cordless phones, microwaves, etc. Phones are especially bad if they`re poorly shielded, and have been known to terminate wifi connections with an incoming call. Make sure your system isn`t located in a place that`s near metal or anything else that can interfere with a radio transmission.

Third question! Alright!
Well, I am trying to find the best method of connecting my laptop and desktop (Desktop is newer, want to transfer files) over a wired connection – they are both connected wirelessly to a router, but transferring data would be so much faster with an ethernet cable.
Both have gigabit ethernet support, but I`m not sure the specifics how to connect them. Do I need a crossover cable, for example, or just a normal cable? What is a crossover cable? And how do I set up the mini-lan network between them?

You would use a crossover cable and the set up is called an Ad-Hoc network.
research that term and you should find it to be very simple to set upjust an fyi:
Anytime you connect “like” devices you ALWAYS use a crossover cable.
