How to use imac to extend the network

A netgear router provides my wifi.  How can I configure my iMac to extend this wifi?

The wifi on imac app shows only the creat or join and it wont let me create with the same SSID.

I want to thank because Airplay maintains stall; so I want as strong a signal as possible.

Thank you

I don't know what kind of a range extender you need or really ask the subject. https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_repeater

If you really mean range extender there are several on the market https://www.google.com/search?q=wifi+range+extender & ie = utf-8 & oe = utf-8

Please describe in more detail what you are trying to accomplish where I don't understand your question.

  • With the help of a second domestic airport to extend the network

    I have an Airport Extreme (MD031LL/A), connected to a modem via an ethernet cable and it works perfectly as a WiFi router for my house. I have also an Airport Express (MC414LL/A) I want to use as a second router to extend the reach of the Wifi signal, which works when connected via a cable to the Airport Extreme (continuous green light), but when I unplug the ethernet cable the Airport Express falls out of the network (Amber led flashing). I've updated the router time firmwear and repowered and reset everything, including 'forget' the devices via the Airport utility which I got on my MacBook Pro, but not luck. Books Online says the network should see the second router, waiting with flashing light amber, but it does not work.

    Any suggestions?

    Please note, it is not ideal for me running extended ethernet cable, I would like to as the relay to be wireless.

    I am assuming that you are using a Mac running a current or recent operating system... or... you use the installer on an iPhone or an iPad, right?

    If you want the AirPort Express to extend wireless signal in AirPort Extreme... then you would not use an Ethernet cable to the configuration... Since the installer detects the Ethernet connection and configure the AirPort Express Terminal accordingly.

    However, if you are able to locate the Airport Express where you need more coverage... and... an Ethernet cable from the Express back to AirPort Extreme... which must remain connected permanently... This would be the way to go.  The reason is that you will lose about half of the potential speed on the entire network when you try to Express to extend the network using a wireless connection.

    But, if you can not run the cable, you can not.  If you need a little more advice on installation, after return to confirm how the Express connect to AirPort Extreme and let us know what operating system is installed on the device you will use to configure the Express.

  • Extend the network wireless with roaming function

    Hello

    I was looking for some advice on my project to the top. I currently have my SKY router (wifi off) connected to an older time capsule which is almost full, so I'm about to buy a new one and I can use the old one plus one new airport extreme/express to extend the network of thought. I think three points would be best as its quite a large sector, I wish to address. I would like that it either under one SSID using the roaming capabilities I've read are possible with the airports and would hand off a signal strong etc.

    Unfortunately, I don't have the option of it being fully wired but planned to use the powerline rather than wifi adapters because I don't want to lose too much speed. I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

    Can someone advise if the setting above would work or if there is a better way (without cabling package together) and if I would be best for extreme or the express for the 3rd point?

    If anyone has any configuration Advisor if this is the best set up then that would be also appreciated?

    Thank you very much

    Iain

    I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

    Configure each extension to use the exact same network name (SSID), the same level of security wireless and same password wireless. Then you will have a roaming network.

  • I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem

    Here's what I did in case anyone wants to know.

    I went into Device Manager and went to network adapters.
    I then expanded this section and under view changed to display hidden items.
    Several hundred elements appears (for most 6to4 adapters) and I deleted all the.
    Then click scan for new hardware.
    And... everything works again! YAY!

  • use time capsule 4th generation to extend the network

    Can I use the time Capsule (4th generation) to extend a network? I would like to connect via Ethernet to a router (Belkin) of non-Apple. Thank you.

    -> Belkin router-> Ethernet cable modem-> Time Capsule-> wifi network products in another part of the House

    Yes, it works perfectly.

    The TC will be in bridge mode...

    The wireless will be defined to create a wireless network.

    You can use the distinct name to the Belkin Wireless... or you can use a name identical to the Belkin with identical password wireless and security setting... This is called roaming network, so in theory, you can wear around your wireless devices and they swap "tours" as a mobile phone... Sounds good in theory... a little less than the sum of the parts actually.

  • Best way to extend the network of Apple using Cat5 and wireless, but with access to the same network

    Appreciate any help here.

    I need to extend my network coverage for the part out of my house where the current signal does not cover.

    I have a Time capsule in the office connected to my Modem and then created a wireless (XXXX) network that connects to the extreme in my front room... .well when I'm in my room before the signal does not increase when I go near the extreme... and maybe it's that I'm still picking up XXX to my Time Capsule wireless network.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5 and therefore the extreme would be able to stream my network wireless XXXX?

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which currently gets no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or must it come directly from the TC?   (and again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Ideally, I want the network to be possible STB and flavours around the House, and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would accomplish that... but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX wifi network I have printers, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    Oh... and 1 other point, I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... is - it possible... and that has to be directly connected to the time Capsule and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Hope that makes sense... but please let me know if you need more details.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5

    Yes. Hate to be picky here, but I hope you'll use CAT5, CAT5e cabling being quite a bit obsolete.

    wireless network and if so the extreme would be able to stream my XXXX?

    Yes

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which gets currently no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device

    Yes, but it would be preferable to cables to connect the 3rd to the main TC, if that's an option.

    or does have to come directly from the TC?

    No, but it would be better if she could, if this is an option.

    and once again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Yes

    and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would achieve this

    That is right. Ethernet is always the best choice in terms of performance.

    but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX same wifi network I printer, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    That should work well.  However, you may not aware that most of the PC and iOS devices not 'automatically' between different wireless access points as they move from one place to the other.  For example, you have your iPhone near the time Capsule, so he'll be looking for a strong signal from the time Capsule. If you move the close AirPort Extreme iPhone or any other device 3rd... the iPhone usually will stay connected to wireless Time Capsule... even if a stronger signal may be available in another wireless access point. Nature of the beast with IOS devices.

    Thus, with most of the PC and iOS devices, you will have to get used to temporarily turn off the WiFi on the iOS device when you move from one place to the other, then re - turn on WiFi once the device is close to the other wireless access point. The iOS device then generally will pick up the strongest signal from the nearest access point.

    Portable Mac computers will generally do a good job of automatically 'switching' to pick up the best signal of different access points in you walking the laptop around the House.

    I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... It is possible.

    Yes, but the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet ports or 10/100/1000, then the switch is going to limit the maximum speed on the network at 100 Mbps when the devices are capable of much higher speed.  If you plan to invest in the installation of Ethernet wiring around the House, then you also want to invent a new Gigatibit Ethernet 10/100/1000 switch, because it will allow up to 10 times faster compared to a 10/100 switch network connections.

    can do this via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or need to come directly from the TC?

    Yes, but it would be best to connect the switch to the time Capsule if it is an option.

    and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Yes

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

  • ASA between two buildings W / different subnets. How to extend the network?

Standard range of course will not work if I should put two ASA both buildings and the [IPSEC] VPN between the buildings, extension of the network? Will this work? If so, where are the commands in the Guide of Config ASA?

    Thank you... If you can get this for me very fast.

    Matt

    Matt, a litle more information would help every building completely separate in terms of connectivity physical any fiber between them, are are the two buildings of the same company? everyone has his own Internet access provider?

    If there is no connectivity between them that the internet and if each building has its own ISP is therefore assumes that there is already a firewall, if that's the case, you can implement vpn L2L and connect the two networks via Ipsec via internet.

  • Extend the network 1 Extreme and 1 Express

    I have the latest Airport Extreme, and I would like to extend my network to the floor with best performance.  I have the ability to connect to an Airport Express Terminal via an Ethernet cable.  My question is this...

    The Airport Express is not capable, "ac", so if you want to use "ac" of speed signals more high, you'll need another AirPort Extreme.

    In both cases, you can use Configuration Apple 'Wizard' to automatically configure the AirPort Express or Airport Extreme for a network roaming... than Apple installation called 'Spread with Ethernet' in their installation utility.

  • How to remove old computers outside the network

    renamed my computer on the network, and now the former name and the new name are visible in 'network '.
    Of course I can only access my last 'name', but how can I remove the old computer?

    Hi ninjahomy,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

    Your computer is on the field ?

    If it's on the field , then get in touch with: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro, windowsvistaitpro, windowsxpitpro /

    If this is not the case, there are 3 methods to remove it.

    Method 1:

    You can remove the old power off computers network on your router/modem, which will have a list of home computers > Home Network > Display Devices. Hit the set up on this screen allows you to delete the old computers from the list.

    Method 2:

    Another method to try is to clear the DNS cache:

    1. click on start

    2. open the administrator mode command prompt and type "ipconfig/flushdns", and restart.

    Method 3:

    Have you tried to reboot server from a cold start? Cold start
    turned off, unplugged, power cable means not only the computer switch
    off, for at least 30 seconds, a minute or more is better.

    All computers OFF, removal of tension (pull the plug if you have to; not of power
    depend on the power switch; It's not always really 'off').

    Wait 30 seconds or more. Turn on the server machine. Let boot completely.

    Then:

    Do a restart of the server computer, you just start. It's just insurance,
    sort of a fail-safe action.

    Now power on other machines. the list has to rebuild properly.
    EMI at least.

    If you have problems with GROUPS, I think that can be deleted. Or
    renamed, all that is necessary. Remember, each machine needs a group and the
    the same group, to include IN a group.

    HTH
    Pop'

    This list should be be rebuilt every time that the computer starts, if if
    There is nothing here to identify the missing machines, they should not be
    display upwards.

    Hope this has helped
