• Can I use 2 routers on my home network?

  Can I use 2 routers on my home network? I have a modem/router combo Xfinity but my Airport extreme must be a router that is better than what came with the Xfinity plan. I was told you can use 2 routers for various computers (iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc) and choose the one that gives the best range and result.

  Do you use a separator line and then to the cable connection? Or would I connect the Airport Extreme in the router/modem by an Ethernet cable Xfinity? In any case, what has worked for you, assistants out there?

  Do not use 2 routers, they will conflict (without careful configuration) and even when they are not there is nothing to be gained by.

• Why Firefox Sync does not work on my home network, but at work?

  Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but for example if I'm at my desk.

  The internet connection in my house is fine, I can surf the web with this same Firefox on IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. also works. Connection to accounts.firefox.com works also, as Firefox for the sync account. Only the synchronization process runs aground. On my desktop at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that synchronization runs on this server, so apparently the network path between my computer and this server is free.

  After investigation with Wireshark, I see the TLS negotiation successfully, then packages the client was able to respond and after some time, the server closes the connection (encrypted alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between the client and the server. I have attached a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between the server and the client (sending pictures here did not work so I put on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).

  To exclude a possible configuration problem or bad module, I created a clean Firefox profile and logged into my account in Firefox, but this shows exactly the same problems.

  Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone will sync on my home network.

  Below, I will link two logs, a successful synchronization (corporate network) and a synchronization failed (home network):
  Sync @ Office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
  Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

  The problem seems to be with your ISP - you can refer to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118958 and they may be able to find a workaround by changing your diet or to help you configure a different MTU for the network.

  I hope this helps.

• A certain website says 'server not found' on the home network, but public wifi site loads.

  I'm trying to access a secure site to my online school. At home, my desktop computer and my lap top came up with "Cannot find server" page on trying to connect. ALL other sites work fine. Public wifi in a cafeteria, the site works very well. I asked my school on this subject and have said I'm talking to my ISP (Qwest). I did, and they were not able to give me a solution and referred me to my school IT Department. I know this isn't a problem with the site of the school, because it worked well on a different network. I also tried to load the site Web of Chrome and IE, and none of them will not let me connect to the site on my home network.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Too bad! I thought of it on mine. I had to change the DNS settings from my service provider to a third party.

• Sudden home networking issues

  Product name: Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina early 2015.

  OS (when the problem started): Yosemite 10.10.5

  OS (now): El Capitan 10.11.5

  The problem

  So yesterday my Mac Wifi connection dropped suddenly. So, I moved to lightning Ethernet connection which has varied between does not and VERY slow, almost unusable. I work from home online, so the last 2 days I was not able to do anything.

  I can connect to Wifi, Mac said Internet: accessible. I can ping. But can not browse and other tools such as Google Drive and Dropbox are unable to connect.

  So far, this would indicate a problem with my network or my router, rather than my right to the machine? However, my Android phone works fine with Wifi.

  Things I've tried:

  I've been on Yosemite 10.10.5. I followed all the troubleshooting steps basis and the following:

  • Reset my SMC.
  • Reset my PRAM.
  • I turned off the Bluetooth.
  • I deleted the files in Network preferences to reset a reboot.
  • I "forgot" my home network to reset it like that.
  • Running reports "wireless diagnosis" everything is "as planned."
  • Attach to the Wireless on my Android Nexus 5 X hotspot. Connects to the Wifi but not Internet after 10 seconds. Sometimes not at all.

  Then, I took a backup and upgrade to El Capitan. The strange thing is, about an hour after the upgrade, my ethernet cable was working fine again! About 14:00 yesterday at 09:00 today when I turned on it to start working.

  NOTE: I connect to the network fine, and Google Drive and Dropbox plugins start synchronization. Full report 'sync', then, after about 10 seconds, they say "unable to connect". Holding "option/alt" and clicking on the Wifi symbol in the toolbar says "Internet: accessible. Indeed, I can 'ping' very well. There is no loss of data packets. So could it be a software on my machine which has suddenly become crazy and prevents connections other than the pings? I have run Avast Anti-virus, but which has worked for months and is running as I type this. Similar posts often get answers their questions about firewalls and proxies that might cause the problem. I only have Avast.

  Affirmations:

  If it was a problem with my router, my phone would not have a problem too?

  If it's a problem with my Mac, why would Internet suddenly started working again after a while?

  I write this in a coffee shop, using their Wifi and it works fine. I don't have whatever it is off on my machine. Yet once, which suggests a problem with my network rather than the phone.

  Is this something that could be fixed to an Apple Store? As I suspected, it works very well to the coffee then probably it would work fine in the Apple store and they don't know what to do.

  I thought only try you geniuses first!

  Thanks in advance.

  It is very difficult to debug an Internet without Internet problem.

  First of all uninstall AVAST from the system. then open system preferences > network > enter your network > what is place please do as automatic. What, the other DNS settings, preferred networks etc please post.

• My IPhone 5 doesn't let me connect to my wifi at home. My other Apple designs all work. When I try to join my network the message arrives as the network was not found.

  Maybe a WiFi Assist. On the devices go to settings > cellular > scroll all the way down > Wi - Fi help > Toggle Off. See if that helps.

• Setting up a network home

  Have Express.would Airporat 2011 as some advice concerning the establishment of a new home network, updated in a new home.

  Unfortunately, not much information to go here, so we ask a few questions before we can begin to formulate a response.

  This modem you will use with the AirPort Express?

  Where will the Express located in your House?

  The wireless devices you normally use will be located close to the AirPort Express Terminal?

  If this isn't the case, you plan to use more of an AirPort Express base station or other AirPort routers?

  You want coverage wireless anywhere in the House?

  If so, what is home?  How many floors?  What type of construction?

  Will you use the Air iPad you list in your profile to set up the Express?

  If no, what device did you intend to use to put in place the Express?

  Perhaps another thing to consider is that the average lifetime of an AirPort Express is approximately 3-4 years and that your model is 5 +. Things may be OK and maybe not with the model you have, but it is reason, so a new Express isn't far away.

  Bearing in mind that we do not know as much about the layout and the construction of your House that you can tell us, can you think of any other information that you could provide to help us provide the best advice for you?  For example, a user who has recently published neglected to mention at the beginning that the walls in her new home were make cement, and when it installed its new wireless router, there was virtually no signal coverage outside the room where the router.

• Home-wifi-prio? I have a router lte. I'm so online by wifi. But I don't want to leave the iphone for the update or synchronization of this network, cos of his volume of limited data.

  Prio list possible?

  I love the automatic updates. But only through my home wifi. How do we make that?

  Unfortunately there is no way to prioritize the networks if that's what you're looking for. If you want on the other, you might forget the network and join them later as you wish.

• Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

  After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

  It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

  (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

  Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

  Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

  (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

  While displaying a page on the site-

  Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

  -remove each cookie individually.

  Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

• Need to understand my situation of home network

  Hello

  I'm having a little problem, trying to figure out how to delegate my home network since I started working out of the House. I have only the internet (100 Mbps) with no cable so I spread all my shows across various applications on two smart TVs. I also have a 7 year old who plays xbox live, I have a few home automation (6 lights shades phillips, iHome 3 caps, bolt dormant Schlage, Canary camera and Ecobee Thermostat with 3 sensors) 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, AppleTV 2, 1 macbook pro, 1 desktop and 1 iMac. For now, I have the newest Airport Extreme connected to my modem with shades phillips, Samsung Smart TV switch and and an Airport Express (Bridge Mode) point. I have the CANARIE camera and an Apple TV connected to the express. In the House, I have another Airport Express station I have my Sony Smart TV hooked up to the Wan which is hidden (I'm the only person who uses it for my iPhone). I also have one of the Apple TV hooked up to it. In the children's room, he has the Xbox one hooked and video streaming or playing games. I always know when he's on the Xbox because of the latency in the living room TV (The Samsung) or the desktop.

  My House is small enough, 950 square feet, brick ranch-style house. The bottom is being renovated to become half of my office. I see if I can do something to speed up my internet. Currently, I only shoot in, 50 MB/s, when I should be around 70 or more.

  I was looking for the Netgear router Nighthawk or a Linksys router and using the Airport Extreme as a switch. I have my office just now set up in the living room and I think move the modem to my office (10 feet away from its present location) so I can have my phone/fax VOIP hooked up to the modem and then have my desktop connected directly to the router using an ethernet cable.

  I'm trying to understand it and it has been bothering me a lot, someone of you have an idea of what would be best implemented?

  Thank you very much I appreciate your help and your time.

  Ethernet is always better.

  If you are renovating the GET home ethernet installed in the walls and several points around the House... you will be amazed at the difference.

  For wireless use never repeat... but you can use multiple wireless access Points. (installation of apple routers for the wireless is just fine).

  I was looking for the Netgear router Nighthawk or a Linksys router

  These will have a wireless range superior cf Apple... but still, you don't want to extend wireless... If the signal is not good enough... and when you have a lot of walls of brick which is very likely to happen... then have another WAP and ethernet.

• 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.

  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.

  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.

  A whole new problem now!

  Execution of two laptops using Win 7 and Win 8, nine only 10 days.
  Had it all set up and seemed OK, but after 4 days I started to lose emails & couldn't find them anywhere.

  Today, the residential group doesn't work - the two machines cannot see each other and the router & printer is found on the new machine.

  As the router is not here I can't access the internet or e-mail.

  Homegroup is not available until the sharing is complete"is on the screen for 3.5 hours and I am unable to do anything at all with the homegroup settings.

  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  I think that you must make sure that you ve enabled the + network discovery + on all computers.

  Network discovery is a network setting that determines if your computer can find other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see your computer.
  By default, Windows Firewall blocks network discovery, but you can activate it.

  Here's how a nice HowTo from Microsoft to the + enable or disable network discovery.

• Satellite M30: No network connection home

  My Toshiba M30 laptop is not able to connect to my home network. The machine can ping other computers on my network, but these computers can not ping for my Toshiba. The machine gets its IP address, can even connect as a client to my FTP server to my network, but refuses to be part of the home network.
  Any suggestions?

  Hi, I do not know how you have set up your laptop in the network: is it wireless? and if yes: did you use windows to configure or via the software of the network card (for most 'intel pro wireless'): I configured my wireless laptop with intel of prowireless: choose a network name, use the same field name, the value of tcp/ip: "obtain an ip address and dns server automatically, in the"WINS" : use netbios over tcp/ip, but I guess you know all these things wel,.
  otherwise, it is possible that your network is delivered with 'fixed' ip address, check if the rules?
  If other machines cannot ping your laptop may be your firewall on the laptop is charged: so you have to configure your firewall: wich one are you using by the way?
  Good luck
