Help with the best Wifi configuration

I'm moving into a new home that is total 3 floors (basement 1, 2 above). I currently use an airport extreme.  I don't think just the Airport extreme will be enough for the new House.  What material you think I should add to create a strong wifi network in the new House?

Thank you!

At a minimum, assuming you want a decent quality signal on each floor, you'll need a total of at least 3 airports... one location per floor... or... If you do not need a cover for the entire floor, so that the airport would be located in the heart of the area on each floor where you plan to use wireless.

Ideally, you will use the same AirPort Extreme devices on each floor.

For the best performance by far, plan to connect all airports together using a wired Ethernet cable connection. For example, if the airport on the first floor will be your "primary" router, then airports in the basement and upstairs both would connect back to the airport of first floor using Ethernet cables.

  • The speeds are horrible!  need help with the best settings.

    I can't not significant with my internet speed (less than 1 Mbps in the speed test).

    These speeds are intermittent.  Sometimes - but rarely - I get much higher speeds I have pay for.

    My provider is Time Warner.  I have a time capsule tall which is 1 year old.  I also have an old flat capsule which is a wireless extension, as well as a newer airport express (flat type) and an airport express that plugs on the (old) wall as extensors as well.

    I called Time Warner repeatedly.  They have sent people twice and messed around, but the problem persists.

    I started think maybe it's time Capsule.  (I tried my old mac into the router directly - wiring because it has an ethernet port - but it would not connect).

    I don't know a lot about what do all the settings, so I have not messed with a lot (even if I tried to change the renew the DHCP lease for 1 hour instead of 1 day).

    Could give me an idea on the best settings for a time used as wireless with extensions Capsule?

    Is it possible that my older Extenders slow down things?

    Thank you.

    It is usually best to start from scratch.

    This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

    Simply run the TC... measure speeds... by wireless and ethernet and report.

    Run the TC and the new express... (much better than GEN 1 or 2... TC equal but gen3 gen4 TC is greater than the express new).

    In airport utility watch connection speeds. It shows the speed of connection, if you place your mouse over it.

    Slow links will cause worse problems on the line... Make sure that all the repeaters (wireless extensions) get at least good signal...

    Please give numbers and the screenshots as it helps no end.

  • Need help with the Smart Wifi EA6400 association

    I set my router several months ago using the password provided with the Quick Start Guide. I have never changed the password. I have implemented all our family computers, laptops and iphones using the same password and have never had any problems of access to the internet. Two weeks ago I put in place our new Sony smart tv by using the same password without any problem.

    Until today, I had never set up a Smart Wifi account. Now that I did it, I can't associate my router on the account. He repeated to me that my password is not valid. How this can be when I was able to implement using this password. Even the properties of the router is showing this same password. I am trying to get into the router to set up a password for comments.  After reading a bit on the forums, I have even tried using "admin" and which was too disabled. I am at a loss here and need advice on how to proceed.

    Hi Stormy_01. By combining the Smartwifi account to your router, do not use the password you use to connect wireless. It should be the password to access the router configuration page. By default, the password of the router is "admin". If it does not, then go to this page I gave in the previous answer and click on the 'Forgotten password' option that should send you the link on how to reset the password of the router to your email.

    Furthermore, the rest of wireless devices are connected properly and are now working through the router, is that correct? If so, then we only need to focus on the recovery of the password in the configuration page or edit if you can access your settings. If all else fails, your last option is to reset the unit and start from scratch.

  • Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

    I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

    When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

    The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

    I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Dear friends,

    symptoms: System very slow and unable to boot or just freezes on the Welcome screen, or sometimes not even vista starts in safe mode or safe mode command prompt.
    I tried the next option, this has worked for me in some cases. but not many times.

    I open a command prompt terminal high, do you it by logging in as an administrator as launching the cmd.exe as an administrator (right click, run as administrator). Then type the following command that uninstalls the device said:

  • Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

    Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

    My hardware:

    I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

    The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

    I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

    My Situation:

    I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

    Help with the data store and network:

    I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

    I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

    Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

    I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

    Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

    You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

    Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

    RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

    You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

    Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

    UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

    Hi all

    I am creating a workflow to automate certain tasks of P2V and I want to disconnect the NETWORK adapter prior to anyting on virtual machines. When everything is done, I want reconnect you this NIC I play with vCO for a few months now and I need to get help with the part of the script. I always managed to find a code but this time I did not find anything!

    So I need to script this part! I think I found a way to change the connection settings of the VMXNET3 NETWORK adapter with this part of the code:

    System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config.device").getVirtualVmxnet3(backing,connectable,controllerKey,deviceInfo,key,unitNumber,addressType,macAddress,wakeOnLanEnabled)
    var connectset = new VcVirtualDeviceConnectInfo();
    connectset.connected = false;
    connectset.startConnected = false;
    

    Now, I need to find the way to set these parameters to a VM VMXNET3 adapter?

    How to off the virtual machine to these settings?

    Thanks for your help!

    If you are connected to a distributed switch, they canned for this com.vmware.library.vc.networking.connectVmNicNumberToVirtualDistributedPortgroup action.  If this isn't a vds connect you to, then you need to change then it will have to be slightly modified to use normal NIC instead of vds support.  You will also need to add these lines to the device configuration section:

    devicespec. Device.connectable = new VcVirtualDeviceConnectInfo();

    devicespec. Device.connectable.Connected = true;

    devicespec.device.connectable.startConnected = true;

    I copied this action and added these 3 lines to achieve what it looks like you are trying to do.  We don't really use standard switches in our environment.

  • need help with the Update statement

    Hello
    I received a question in a course and I tried my best to respond, and now my brain is giving. I would really appreciate help with the update statement. I don't mind if you do not validate a solution, a little nudge in the right direction would be really useful. I'll post that I got.

    THE QUESTION
    / * For these agents disabled on more than seven missions, change their date of deactivation of the first date of deactivation of all the agents that have been activated in the same year as the agent that you update currently.
    */

    I have it divided into parts, here is my select statement to agents disabled on more than 7 missions, which produces the deactivation_dates in the agents table that I want to update...
    SELECT
    s.deactivation_date
    FROM
    (
    SELECT
    a.deactivation_date,
    count(m.mission_id) as nomissions
    FROM
    agents a
    INNER JOIN
    missions_agents m
    on
    a.agent_id=m.agent_id
    GROUP BY
    a.deactivation_date
    ) s
    WHERE
    s.nomissions>7 AND s.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL
    .. .and the code for the first date of deactivation for each year of activation agent
    select 
    a2.deactivation_date
    from
    agents a2
    where a2.deactivation_date= 
    (
    select min(a.deactivation_date)
    from 
    agents a
    where to_number(to_char(a.activation_date,'YYYY'))=to_number(to_char(a2.activation_date,'YYYY'))
    )
    ..... I am not real to marry these two statements together in the Update statement. I can't extract each date of deactivation produced in the first select statement and their match against the first date of deactivation in the year they have been activated for the second select statement.

    Any help greatly appreciated... :))

    I began to wonder how things would :)

    First of all why he chooses the date the earliest of all agents

    He recovers as soon as the subquery has not been correctly set in the SET clause. It seems you are trying to update a correlated, but we are still having a conceptual shift. I have added a few comments to your code above and below will explain.

    (1): when you do a correlated update it is useful to the table alias that you did right here.

    (2): this table statement is not necessary and is the reason why the FIRST deactivation date is selected. The alias that you use (3) refers to THIS table, not the one defined in the update statement. Remove the line indicated by (2) in the FROM clause and a correlated update will happen.

    and secondly why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

    user8695469 wrote: then why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

    
    WHERE EXISTS
    (
    SELECT
    a.agent_id,
    count(m.mission_id)
    FROM
    agents a
    /* INNER JOIN AC ON AC.AGENT_ID = A.AGENT_ID */
    INNER JOIN
    missions_agents m
    ON
    a.agent_id=m.agent_id
    GROUP BY
    a.agent_id,
    a.deactivation_date
    HAVING
    count(m.mission_id)>7 AND a.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL
    )
    

    Once again this problem is similar to the question above that a correlation update doesn't work. Test existence of lines in an EXISTS subquery. Since your subquery is not related to the table that you are trying to update, it will be always return a line and, therefore, it returns true for EACH LINE in the AGENTS table. To limit the game to only agents > 7 missions results, you need to add a join condition that references the table in your update statement. I added one above (with comments) as a sample.

    I recommend you look over all material that you have associated with correlated subqueries, including documents that I posted above. This seems to be what you're having the problem more with. If you need me to explain the concept of correlated queries any better please let me know.

    Thank you!
