Add DNS - network settings, the parameters of the airport or both?

I didn't know there are 2 places for that - and I'm not sure that works best.

Recently added 6.6.6.6 and 8.8.8.8 to try to speed up Web sites that have been loading slowly, as suggested these tips very. I have added in the network settings, but then recently realized that my extreme settings of the airport have a place for dns as well.

I do not understand the difference.

Your Mac setting only controls your Mac.

The parameter to your Airport Extreme allows to set any device on your network.

If you have only one device, there is no difference.

But suppose that your family has 9 network devices: two Mac, a PC, a smart TV connected to Netflix, four smartphones for parents and children and an iPad. If you enter the DNS settings on your Mac, this is the only device that will use the DNS settings. But if you enter the DNS of your network (Airport Extreme) router settings, which becomes the default DNS for any device on the network that does not have its own DNS settings entered. You have only to change DNS setting once, not 9 times for all these devices.

For all my devices that stay at home, I get the DNS on the router addresses, and the devices are all set to look at the IP address of the router to get the DNS so that all devices follow the DNS from the router configuration. For all devices that leave the House, I get the DNS preferred settings on those so that they will continue to look at my favorite, DNS settings even when they are connected to the network of another.

  • Expand my network using the extreme and Express

    I am currently working on installing wifi in a very big house.  I have an Airport Extreme, also located as possible with multiple Airport Express branching.  There is always a part of the House that receives no signal wifi however.  Here's my question: is - it possible with this configuration, to add another extreme from the Airport via the ethernet connection in where the extreme original is located at a location between the extreme original and the section that does not have WiFi, then plug an express airport out of the extreme (cable) second?  running ethernet all the way, he will not be able to happen and ethernet over powerline adapters not working already on this distance.

    Is it possible with this configuration, to add another extreme from the Airport via the ethernet connection in where the extreme original is located at a location between the extreme original and the section that does not have WiFi, then plug an express airport out of the extreme (cable) second?

    Sure. Run the cable from one of the LAN <>- ports on your "main" AirPort Extreme to the "O" WAN port on the AirPort Extreme distance.

    Use Apple install "wizard" to configure the remote AirPort Extreme "extend using Ethernet" and it automatically adapts the AirPort Extreme to use the same wireless network name being the "main" extreme.  The following example shows an AirPort Express... you would see an AirPort Extreme on your screen during installation.

    The AirPort Express's power off, wait a few seconds, then it to power up. It will then pick up the signal from the closest AirPort Extreme.

  • "Mesh" networking Possible with the Airport extreme?

    Now many of you may have heard talk about Eero and Luma, whose routers create a scope "mesh" network by installing 2-3 of their units close to each other.  Whether you're home devices move from one access point to another without a decrease in performance.  In my current setup, I have two extremes from the Airport (connected both) with SSID same, however when I wander around the House, my camera will not let go the first AE until I am in the vicinity of the second AE, how I am down to 1-2 bars of signal, and then at a certain point of annoyance it passes to the 2nd AE with a signal stronger.  Y at - it a setting that I can change which will preserve my investment in my AE current infrastructure, and to somehow get our roaming devices more intuitively go to the AP with the strongest signal faster?

    Thanks in advance.

    Y at - it a setting that I can change which will preserve my investment in my AE current infrastructure, and to somehow get our roaming devices more intuitively go to the AP with the strongest signal faster?

    Unfortunately, Apple provides no practical possibility for the user to adjust parameters either on an AirPort base station or computer or other mobile device WiFi, that would allow a device go faster... or more slowly... as "wandering" on a network with several access points.

    Macs will usually do a good job to switch automatically from one access point to another as they move from one place to another, but most of the PC, tablets, iPhones, and iPads will do that very well... If they do it in all.  With most mobile devices, you will need to temporarily disable the WiFI on the device when it is moved from one place to the other, then re - turn on the WiFi at the new location... and the device will usually pick up the signal from the access point closest and strongest.

  • Software JetDirect 380 X can not see the airport card in the laptop G4 PPC

    Hello

    I tried to add a customer to the airport. It's a LaserJet 1200. But the software that comes with the JetDirect tells me to install an Airport card in the laptop. Now I can join hpsetup and print to the LJ 1200. But in practice I have to disconnect from the internet and the map Airport.  So, I know the JetDirect and LaserJet 1200 work very well. I tried different settings on the airport, but nothing has really changed the software on the laptop not finding the Airport card.

    Now I have a WOW goes a Xsense MIH 130 Xrouter, then go to the Airport Express Terminal. All Mac desk top of page 933mh, 1.67 ghz powerbooks. I use OSX10.4 to 10.5.8.  I don't know if the router is the problem or if the parameter in the jetdirect should be changed to the ad-hoc to something else. Don't know how to do this. With it, do not see the map Airport, I can't do the enbedded 192.0.0.192. There are a lot of maybe if I do this or if I do this it might work. Since the configuration of the printer in the TCP/IP section page everything below the line, Config by: is not specified.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Well again I was able to get to the stage 1.6 (in 10.5.8 printing Center is not the same). I could remove the printer that was working on its own network of HP. But was unable to add a printer in 0SX 10.5. Perhaps through IP printing, but do I put as the address? It is the site of HP to get instructions on a 380 X and another printer.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?lang=en & CC = US & TaskID = 115 & prodSeriesId = 29789 & prodTypeId = 18972 & prodSeriesId = 29789 & objectid = c00257796

    Maybe I should to the left of the printer, but I've changed the SSID in the jetdirect to match the network. The IP printer 192.0.0.192 or 192.0.0.193 or just use the network name it was changed to?

    To close, but I thought a few times.

  • How can I change the network settings and air play setting up the itunes which is running on my laptop (windows 10)

    A few weeks ago, I was streaming of photos to my TV using my apple TV. Now, whenever I try to play music in my laptop itunes I get the error message "the airplay APPLETV device is not available," he goes on to say "Please check your airtime... configuration and network settings. "I searched for days for these parameters.

    Now the itunes on my laptop has no audio data.

    The only way I can hear the track I'm playing, is to select the option at the foot of the error message that says "use this computer for now" - this gets quite annoying after awhile!

    any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    I understand that you encounter some problems with the sound settings on your PC after using a home since iTunes for Windows sharing.   The resources below has some basic for home sharing troubleshooting.

  • Even though I have my iPad WiFi connects to the internet even after that I have reset the network settings

    Having never had a problem with my iPad since buying about 3 years ago, suddenly I can't access the internet use it & none of the applications that need the internet have access either. (since the last update for IOS 9.3) I have reset the settings of the internet and the WiFi signal at the top is visible. Airport app told me that I have access to the internet, but I did not!  Does anyone else have this problem? I would really appreciate a quick solution, because it's so annoying when things sync and I need them to-such as the events of diary, photos email etc. not to mention the SMS!  Any help gratefully received!

    General suggestions for Wi - Fi problems, maybe one of them will help you...

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) to restore the device (ask for more details if you wish).

    (9) go to the Apple Store for the evaluation of the material.

  • I refreshed Firefox, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

    At the suggestion of Firefox, I refreshed, now all my Add-ons disappeared and worst parameters associated with them are gone too. Where I could find to put the 'old'?

    When updating Firefox, it creates a folder on the desktop called "old Firefox data." According to Firefox, it's when my old settings were saved. The question to the community, it is where I can move some of these old settings (and what are those FireFPT) to restore my old settings. Time Machine using nothing else that place an old version of FireFox in my app folder.

    I have several clients and staff that need to be restored as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Add LaserJet 1525nw to the wireless network

    Hello

    Since I update my router for the Cisco E3200, it seems that my printer laser color 1525nw spray can not register to the router. I tried the router WPS button to find the printer and the PIN method, but both failed. Can someone please help me get the printer connect to the router wirelessly? I work in an office environment at home.

    Thank you very much.

    I'm not entirely sure as to why this happens.  In some cases, restore the network by default before the WPS option used.

    On the printer, go to network settings > network by default.  This will reset the network outside the parameters of the box.

    Go to network setup > Menu wireless > wireless on / off and check the wireless radio is on.

    Once it is completed, repeat the WPS configuration by going to Network Configuration > wireless Menu > Setup WPS to prepare the printer to use the router WPS button.

    Let me know what happens.

    Hello NETTE101002,

    To add to what Al Jarvi said, I suggest that you turn off any wireless security feature. Please, click on start-> Control Panel, double-click network connections, right-click on the wireless adapter and select Properties. From there choose wireless networks, click the name of your wireless network and choose Properties. Under network authentication, select open to disable wireless security. Please try to connect.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you remove the connection and re-create the wireless network connections. The following Web site can help you on the creation of the wireless connection.

    Here is an article that will give you steps on how to create a network connection:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb878035.aspx

  • For the blackBerry Smartphones Reset network settings

    N.. completely different. For your mobile network, with a strong network carrier (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network
    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting
    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    For the wireless, there is no sort directly 'reset' nothing beyond removing and reconfiguring of the WiFi network configurations. Beyond that, things as device WIPE, reloading the OS, and other very drastic measures would be required. And, important to note, I have no way of knowing if this is really necessary... you did not no matter what description of what happens, so it is not possible to understand your situation and you give more targeted recommendations.

    Good luck!

  • Unable to connect to the network because the parameters of the computer do not match the requirements of the network.

    The main computer in my house is connected to the web via a modem to our ISP (Cox).  We use a Cisco's Linksys wireless router.  We have configured a new laptop to connect through the router yesterday.  Now my laptop, which had been the connection very well, can't access the network.  When I go in the "network and sharing Center" and pull up nearby wireless networks, our network shows is even more bars, just a red X.  Reads the error message "unable to connect to this network because the settings of that computer to match the parameters required network.»

    I don't know what has changed on our network, but I was unable to understand what these "required parameters" are, so I was unable to change the settings of my laptop to match the requirements.  Pls help.

    Hi Sharpdale,

    Step 1

    I first suggest you to perform network troubleshooting in Windows 7 and check if it finds problems, and if he is able to fix it.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7

    Step 2

    Use Windows to configure wireless settings and check if it helps to solve the problem.

    a. click on Start menu and select run

    b. type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK to open the menu of the network connections.

    c. Select your Wi - Fi connection service and choose the option change settings of this connection.

    d. go to the wireless tab and select (tick) labeled use Windows to configure my wireless network

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,
