Need to improve the wireless home network

I am trying to improve the coverage of my home network.

I have Fios, and with existing wireless features, there are several dead and weak coverage areas in my house.  This is due to a combination of the place where my router's (limited by the power input) and the confuration from home.

I have CAT - 5 running for most of the rooms, so adding wired devices is not a problem.  I went out and picked up an EA4500 router, and my plan was to convert my Fios router a bridge and then use the EA4500 as the DHCP server.  However, even with this router, my coverage is not improved.  My preferred solution to get 1 or 2 additional access points that I can plug into my cable system, however, I would like to have a common SSID for the network.

Is a home-based solution available?

It would be probably better get these access points that you plan to learn to eliminate these "notspots".

as suggested previously, you can get a WAP610N or one of the new series of EA (set to bridge mode) router.

  • Diagnose/improve the wireless Airport network

    I'm no expert on wifi networks, but try to improve ours.

    I have an Airport Extreme, connected to a modem of the Charter down.

    Upstairs, in my office, that I have an Airport Express with a printer connected via USB.

    I think I Express correctly configured to expand or develop, or whether the network.

    My MB Air is sitting on a desk about 7 feet to Express in my office.

    If I connect to the Express via Ethernet to the MB Air USB connector, my download speed is about 65 MB/s, download about 4 MB/s and the Ping on 31ms.

    If I connect via wifi, download is about 20 Mb/s and the stay of the upload and the same ping.

    Make sense?

    Anything to improve the wifi?

    When websites take a long time to react and fill the page, what is the download or ping, or both?

    Thanks in advance for all the education on wifi. Enjoy.

    Make sense?

    Makes perfect sense.  First, we assume that the Express extends the network by connecting using wireless back to AirPort Extreme, correct?

    When you "extend" with only a wireless connection and connect using wireless on your Mac, you will generally lose about half or more the speed on the network.

    Why? The wireless should make a "leap" in Airport Extreme for the AirPort Express. He must then make a second "hop" of the AirPort Express using Mac wireless. It will take a lot of overhead or bandwidth.

    When your Mac is connected directly to the AirPort Express Terminal, the wireless is only to make a "leap", so find you speed or bandwidth that is lost when the Mac connects to the Express on a second Wireless 'hop '.

    You want to improve your network?  Connect terminal AirPort Express to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection.  There is no loss of speed of the signal through the cable... until approximately 325 feet or 100 meters... so the Express receives a signal of full speed... rather than a slower wireless signal... because the wireless signal slows the other he has to travel and also slows down if it encounters obstructions in the signal path... like a wall or a ceiling.

    When websites take a long time to react and fill the page, what is the download or ping, or both?

    Could be both, but is usually a DNS problem. Try to use the Open DNS servers or the servers of Google to see if things improve. In general, the DNS servers are better than those that use your Internet service provider.

  • Implementation of HP Officejet 6500 has; don't know how to connect to the web w / wireless home network

    I have a small home network wireless.  I configured the printer today but it says I have to connect to the internet (part fax machine works).  The bureau only I have, I keep out of most of the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to now).

    Is it possible to connect the printer directly to my router?  They are only a few feet from one of the other; However, I have no idea how do and the instructions don't me much.  Do I need a phone line?  What can I use to connect the two?

    Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even target will have them.

    Plug it into the back of the printer and the router.  You should be able to add the printer to your laptop.  Let me know which operating system you have and I can help you.

  • Best settings for a wireless home network?

    I want to get help on a somewhat complicated setup: my connection in optical fiber gets into my house to a room in the basement. I have a last generation Asus router, which spreads the signal through various Ethernet cables. Wi - fi is disabled, because it wouldn't reach anywhere. Upstairs, I have a new airport time capsule, which creates the main WiFi network for the home. However, it dose not brought into the world. In the box where I want to extend the signal, I have a 5th generation AirPort Extreme (it does not support the alternative signal) connected to an Ethernet jack.

    Now my questions:

    1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

    2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

    3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

    I hope that I have explained clearly, I'm only half of technology warned, and I am a bit lost...

    1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

    Own configuration of Apple software, AirPort utility you should implement in Bridge Mode time Capsule to avoid a network error called Double NAT. But, ironically, if you call Apple support, they will tell you 'ignore' the Double NAT error and run time Capsule as another router on the network.

    Normally, you can avoid having a Double NAT error on the network, because that might lead to other problems, Apple boards so... If you call them... is controversial. Basically, it seems that Apple wants a router from Apple in charge of both the network possible... not another router.

    So, you will need to decide what advice to Apple you want to try.

    2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

    The feedback network option will not work correctly if the Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

    3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

    "Extend a wireless network" is used only when the airport connects to another router from Apple using a Wi - Fi connection. Since you will use Ethernet to connect, you would use "create a wireless network" setting.

    But, you won't have to worry about this if you are using Apple Configuration "Wizard" to set up the AirPort Extreme... it automatically applies the correct settings.

  • Persistent problems with wireless home network

    Hi, the problem started two weeks or more ago, when after the connection to the internet easily using our wireless network connection, my computer began to say that our domestic network was unidentified, then studied by troubleshooting my self but do not really understand the information the computer indicated to me. As it was a problem of the internet I contacted our local provider broadband, they looked like the line and the service was absolutely perfect and to confirm this router computer of my father in the same cable network has internet connection easily as it was my mom who was using the connection via the same router wireless cell phone.
    Following the instructions of technitians I have tried to manually enter internet addresses to see if that would help the internet connection, it did. So I thought that the problem has been resolved. I had the use of the internet that day and everything was fine until I restarted the next morning. The problem reappeared. So I called my internet provider again, this time I'm sorry to say to a girl rather too quickly diagnosed that I had a virus to uninstall Google chrome and reinstall a different browser... That didn't make sense to me, but I tried some sort.  So I moved my office tower and all the bits in one place in the House were we could conect it to the router with an ethernet cable followed his instructions then moved the computer to its original position but still no internet connection and still this problem 'identification '. I turned off the machine and tried again the next day. Start by running the troubleshooting of network problems, this time I looked at the detailed report which curiously stated that the computer had difficulty oscillating between two somethings (sorry don't remember the detail correctly is days ago)
    So I called my internet provider again and I am a helpful young man, read him the information and examined the reports that they had written about the problem in the days preceding. I followed his instructions looked in the network sharing Center, settings changed and added in manual codes for the internet, turn off the router for 10 seconds or more and then restarted, this time with not even a temporary success. We tried a few things but I always got the same contradictory message in the dialog box in the lower right corner, where it showed I was connected to the local network not connected to the internet, when I opened the network sharing Center from the local network to the router would show that 'Identification' and the conection to the internet would be marked with a cross. I managed to pass my network profile is for some reason any defined to the public rather that home and we were able to change it (even if it wasn't easy)
    So I was told it was probably a driver issue, I was told I might need check the updates of my license on this operation the technitian and I also saw the site of netgear, that there was a potential conflict between Kaspersky and the netgear driver, so I need to uninstall my Kaspersky anti-virus stuff and the old pilot , down load and install the new drivers and then reinstall kaspersky. I followed it. (Movement of the tower and all the bits in place in the House were the ethernet cable was available).  I found an updated driver, uninstalled downloaded kaspersky and run only the driver installed Kaspersky again. Everything seemed to go well and I even plugged in the wireless adapter connected to the internet through that and disconnected the cable... things were going well.
    So I turned off the machine and carried over into my room where I turned on once again. The problem reoccured. I thought it was time to communicate with kaspersky. So I turned the computer off and reduced to the ethernet cable. Connected a Kaspersky contacted by e-mail, they were quick and I was asked to run a program that logeed my information system. I did this and I told them I thought it might be a conflict between the driver and their softwear, they have looked into it, asking me to run a misuse of this program and the results by e-mail. Once again, I've followed the instructions and took notes, but no problem was found. They showed me how to configure my kaspersky firewall to allow access to the networks. It's when I was doing that I noticed that the computer had five ads of our home network, so I put all the profiles of their trust, apply changes and tested to see if it would work. On the wireless internet in the office where the ethernet cable and a router are by train, it's good, it works. I connected the wireless network and disonnect the ethernet then on the internet and there is no break in service. But if I shut down the computer and set up in my room at 12 meters, it won't work with signal strong (4 / 5 bars are green).

    This morning I watched the windows firewall settings and changed some of them to see if that makes a difference. but none.

    I'm trying hard to think about this problem but I'm getting nowhere fast, I know just enough. I just tried pluging in the wireless network adapter again, but there is no wireless network connection now and no internet connection:

    After having tried downlaoding a new driver and this has not fixed the problem after having only tested the wireless signal is strong enough for good internet connection to my mother's computer in my room, I'm stuck. I looked on the netgear site and follow their advice, but it's really a night Mare!
    I also noticed that somehow, we put in place five versions of our home network, I wonder if there is some confusion computer... I looked into the idea of the removal of the networks, and it seems that you can not do. I am trying to back up my files, uninstall everything and re - build my computer from scratch. If there is something else I should try before taking this message please drastic measures me ASAP.

  • Need help with the wireless internet Power Book G4

    Hi-I recently inherited a Power Book G4.  I have problems to connect to wireless internet.  According to the Profiler systems, it has an AirPort Extreme card, but there is no icon on the screen wireless.  Advice to connect would be appreciated!

    Thank you-

    Stephanie

    The icon in the menu bar can be hidden or displayed.  The setting is the system network preferences pane.  Where it says display, select AirPort.  There is a checkbox for the State of AirPort show the menu bar.  Since the AirPort icon in the menu bar, you can select the a local wireless network to join.

    This pane of system preferences, you can use the more specific configuration settings, although the default settings work often unless you use special parameters with your wireless router.

    AirPort Extreme Card maybe for 802.11b and gand not n.  If your wireless network is configured for 802.11n only, you will need to change this setting to allow to 802.11 g (on the wireless router).

  • Is there an equivalent to Firefox Sync method that can be used to synchronize Firefox on three computers connected to the same home network?

    I would like to be able to sync settings between three computers on my home network without having to go on the internet and put everything on a remote server. Computers can already communicate with each other and share, then there should be an easy way to ensure that Firefox data sync would be also.

    Hello

    Please see this.

    Support

    Another way would be to do it manually by using another application, for example. SyncToy, creating the correct pairings between the data on the PC.

    Using SyncToy

    Firefox stores your personal data in a place known as the Firefox profile folder separate from its installation folder/files. The extensions folder Addons, although some addons may store additional data in the profile of top-level folder, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite has the info of addons, places.sqlite holds the bookmarks and history, the prefs.js has Preferences, signons3.txt + signons.sqlite files are needed for the passwords and finally sessionstore.js for tabs.

  • Need drivers for the wireless on Qosmio F20

    Hi how are you?

    I checked the device manager and I only find 1394 Net adapt.
    Download any driver from site Qosmio F20?

    Thank you very much

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find a label of the WLan card.
    If the WLan card rating fails, I guess that your phone does not support a minPCI wireless network card.

    As macdreamy1984 has also suggested the card WLan must be listed in the device under network adapters Manager if it has been installed on the laptop

  • Wired access point / wireless home network

    I am a littlenew to this, sought several messages, but cannot find one that fits exactly to my question/questions.

    The installer: The floor cable modem to the router (BEFSR41).  An electrician on desktop on the floor. A wire hard out of the router (WRT54G) B downstairs for LAN wired stereo components and a Wi - Fi connection for laptops.

    Router B has DHCP set IP same as router and connection is on the LAN 1 port instead of port Internet, Xbox and other components on the LAN 2, 3, 4 ports. Laptop computer Upsairs wireless internet access and are working very well. I can't move the modem to the floor, and the wireless should point down because if it's on the floor there is too much signal loss.

    Question: Xbox 360 is connected to router B (bottom) via wired LAN, and after about 5 minutes loses the internet connection.

    Question: What is the correct configuration for the router A and router B? Is there a better Setup for this?

    I can't answer this question because I do not know the subnet on your network.

    Allows to make a few assumptions here well and you can change your IP according to your needs.

    Router

    IP=192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

    Remember that it is the side LAN not IP address on the WAN side.

    Router B

    IP=192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0

    Default gateway = 192.168.1.1

    DNS = 192.168.1.1

    The WAN should be turned off or disabled.

    WAP54G

    (Default) IP=192.168.1.245/255.255.255.0

    Default gateway = 192.168.1.1

    Customers

    IP=192.168.1.100-150/255.255.255.0 (this isn't how you should express this value correctly, but it is easier for the non technical to understand person).

    The default gateway on all clients would be 192.168.1.1

    The DNS on all clients would be 192.168.1.1

    I assumed router B is hard wired from a LAN port on the router B on a LAN port router.

    The channels on router A & B should be different unless your roaming between devices. I don't remember if the Linksys firmware allows and or compatible WDS. I think it does, but you have little or no control over it, so therefore people tend to install third-party firmewares.

    Security on router B can be anything. But if you changed it from the beginning and you windowz cliewnts you will probably have to remove the profile stored by the client wireless and reconnect to the HA to rebuild the front profile it will not work properly. Windowz update the key in the profile stored, a pretty stupid mistake the share nanasoft.

    in any case, theres a start point for you.
