How to check the power of the signal to an extended airport

I have 2 Airport extreme. (new 802.11ac versions)

We're at the bottom, connected to a cable modem, and the other is implemented as an extension to the floor.

6.3.6 Airport utility I can click on a base station and place the cursor on a connected client and see the quality of the connection to this computer / iOS device.

I would like to see the quality of the signal to the base station to the floor, so I can move it around to get the best signal.

Is it possible to see this value? The only thing I can think to do is to stop the base station to the floor and move a laptop or iPhone around up there and check it is the strength of the signal and take the strongest spot is the best place to put the Extender.

Thanks for any help.

If you point to a connection, it should show some details. Where mine says excellent.

Of course, the old utility was much more useful. It will give you signals at both ends... and you can start a second screen and put them side by side. Subsequently is not always better in Apple utilities...

If you do a google search 5.6.1 utility yosemite

You will find how to install it... work on el capo as well.

Is it possible to see this value? The only thing I can think to do is to stop the base station to the floor and move a laptop or iPhone around up there and check it is the strength of the signal and take the strongest spot is the best place to put the Extender.

The use of the office phone or laptop running a wifi Analyzer is also a very good way to do it... the signal is not different... in other words the place that is best for one device will be also the best for another... This also gives you a way to attach numbers to signal loss in any particular area.

  • How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?

    I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!

    Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).

    I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)

    An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.

    In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.

    Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.

    One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.

    But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.

    You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".

    The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

  • How to extract the signal from the waveform of my power level designated?

    Hi all

    How can I extract the signal of the waveform accroding to the power level? I read the Trigger & Gate .vi, but this vi retrieves the signal duration. I want to extract the signal depending on the power level.

    As shown in the following figures, the signal I want to deal with is between 130000 to 140000, if I Zoom, I can see the useful signal is between 135400 to 138200. The question is how to extract the signal in the area?

    I tried the sub_NoiseEst_And_Chop_Shell.vi in the example of Packet_based_link also, but this Subvi seems to be a bit slow. Can someone give me the best advice? Thanks in advance!

    I'm working on something similar, but have not had time to fully develop.

    My idea was to use an envelope detector (low pass filter) and then use a detection of energy VI on the envelope.

    Hi Hema,

    Thank you for your kind reply.

    I bought the system in a Dell store allowed, but the thing is I'm getting confused on post purchase experience.  The bag pack which the seller gave me apparently local, when I refused to take it, he assured me that I will get a real bag after a few days. I also think that I cheated from windows.

    I will be much obliged if you can read the issue in the context (the conversation with the windows community)-

    My question - what is the use of "slmgr / / ato" command, my system is watch a range error code 0x80072EF7, when I run this command. can be solved?

    response-

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the publication of the description and the error code that you get when running ' slmgr / / ato "command, it seems that you have any question in your Windows activation.

    Use of slmgr / / ato command:

    For volume systems, with a KMS host key retail editions or a key to activate Multiple (MAK) installed /atoprompts Windows to attempt activation online. Activate Windows license and product key from the Microsoft server. If you receive error 0x80072EF7 code then I suggest you to try the steps outlined in the article below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    My question-

    I can't run these technical stuffs on my computer. I'm scared I might lose the original settings since I'm not familiar with computer terminology. I didn't activate windows, I run the command "slmgr/ato' because of Microsoft technical team asked me to do the same. The reality is that I just bought a new Dell laptop, which came with no reinstalled windows, but dealer told me it communicates me windows 8.1pro as compliment (when I asked him which win. I should use win10 update or win original 8.1). and the cost of windows is not mentioned in the Bill. I was not aware at the time of the purchase that I won't have a preinstalled windows system, because I asked the price for laptop with the desired configuration and win8.1. I never thought that I buy a DOS system. I paid for almost the same price for laptop with "win 8.1pro" brokers in the area compare to preinstalled laptop computer sing.language win8.1. After 2 days, when I realized the question and asked the technical team at Microsoft to see if windows that is installed on my system is authentic or not, and they told me that windows is authentic, after checking with my key.  From there, my doubt starts Can a windows be true, even if the user has no evidence that he has purchased? Is the only information is the product key which certifies the genuine windows? What is the risk if the dealer gives the same key to another customer as a "compliment".

    Once I shared the issue with Microsoft support, they tried to hear me, but I think that they have not properly my concern. However, they asked me to run that command and message showed that windows is already activated. Since then, I thought that it could be someone else can also use the same key, I tried to check this order 4 days after. Since then, this error shows. Now, I want to solve each and every error on windows, I will also be very grateful if you could provide me the only way to learn how to check the real windows.

    response-

    Yes, I agree with you, your concern on the product key. It is true that your computer vendor could give the same product key to the other person as a gift too. If another person uses the same key to activate the OS, then you might get pop up to activate your Windows or other activation errors.

    You can see the article mentioned below to check if your OS is authentic.

    My question-

    Today, I called again to Microsoft helpline years technical support says my concern again. This time they told me that 'the ID of the product' which I use is enabled on other computers, but still found my authentic windows. I wonder, earlier the chat session which is held with the technical support told me that no one can use the same key that I use. If it someone trying to do it won't affect my computer because I am one who is authentic and the first user. I don't understand why are there different versions of the truths in the company for the same problem?

    I feel very sad that the company like Microsoft is not able to do something for their customers like me who are less sophisticated techno and want to become authentic windows user! Now, I think there must be a link any between the 'error', I've mentioned above and even the activation key on a different system.  I'm afraid how it would affect my system if other systems get activated by the same key. I don't know what are the services that I won't be able to enjoy if my windows become ingenuine later. Kindly guide me how to raise my complain about best way (with respect to the argument) to the dealer or authority be it is.

    response-

    If you have a valid key, then you will be able to turn it on again. If you call our support team then they will check into his tool and validate it, after doing this they will validate your key and help by activating the latter, if it turns out anyway.

    Keep us.

  • Satellite A200 - how to check the temperature of the processor fan?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A200 that my teenagers use a little, or abuse a little! Recently, it would not start up. I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

    Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    In addition if the fan doesn't work anymore it of necessary to replace. You can order spare parts at an authorized service provider.
