Use two WiFi routers?

Can I have an old Airport Extreme (flying saucer model) and a new running on my system time Capsule

at the same time?  I would like to use some sort of splitter for ethernet (recommendations will be appreciated).

Can I have an old Airport Extreme (flying saucer model) and a new running on my system time Capsule

at the same time?

Yes, but it will not be an easy task to make things work.  The old "round" AirPort Extreme will connect to one of the three LAN <--->Ethernet ports on the airport Time Capsule with a cable Ethernet long... and this connection must be maintained at all times.

But the task really difficult here will probably be to install and configure the old AirPort Extreme. Your Mac running Yosemite (it could be El Capitan now) cannot be used to set up and administer the old AirPort Extreme.

You need... or be able to borrow for half an hour or so... an old Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) to put in place the old airport. A PC that has AirPort Utility for Windows installed can also be used.

Bottom line... a lot of work... but we can help if you want to give it a try. Personally, I would call it a day at the old airport... it lasted much longer than the average... and he can enter at any time now.

  • Two wifi routers EA6200 having connection problems.

    I had a single wifi router configuration EA6200 and it was working fine but it has not reached the corner of my house. I decided to buy a second EA6200 in an attempt to expand coverage wifi and nothing else that problems have had since then. I tried several configurations and there are always questions where wifi is either very slow or cut all together. I tried to configure the routers by using the options listed in the manual. We'll call it the router connected directly to the modem ROUTER1 and ROUTER2 upstairs router.

    I connect both routers via a power adapter line I used for a while since I rent and can't pass the cables through the walls. I have one of the LAN ports on ROUTER1 connected to port WAN on ROUTER2 and ROUTER2 clipping value. I tried with ROUTER2 get his address IP of ROUTER1 automatically and I also tried to set a static IP address on ROUTER2, but I always had connection problems. I also tried one of the LAN ports on ROUTER1 connecting to one of the LAN on ROUTER2 ports. I put a static IP address on ROUTER2 and disabled DHCP. For both configurations, I tried to have the same SSID and password for both routers so that I can roam and connect automatically to the strongest signal and at first I put the automatic channel selection. I still had problems connecting so I tried to change the SSID of the router and change the SSID for the bands of 2.4 and 5 GHz and I tried to adjust the channels myself no conflicting channels and I still have problems.

    Again, the problems I encounter are failure intermittent wifi where it disconnected completely from the wifi but will reconnect then slow connection speeds not long after but also intermittent. Also, I have several chromecast dongles on the TVs in my house and they also periodically lose the connection to the network and have a lot of buffering issues. These problems disappear with a single connected router. I also tried to reset both routers and disconnect and plug my modem at the factory.

    All the ideas, because I don't see anything else to try?

    Bilz says:

    If I understand you correctly I tried already. I connected the LAN to LAN and used the static IP you listed for the second router. I put the SSID for the 5 GHz band were the same for both routers and used a different SSID for 2.4 GHz bands, but it's still the same on both routers. I used the Wifi Analyzer app to determine the best channels for my router and I put them all channels different worms. I don't know if I used specifically 1, 6 or 11, however. It would make a difference? For example if I used chanells 4 and 6 for 2.4 GHz bands, do you think that this would have caused some of my questions?

    Not quite. All SSIDs 4 must be different. You can be the cause of the camera jump back using the same ssid. So it could be xxxxx_24p and xxxxx_24s and even for the 5 GHz. xxxxx_5p and xxxxx_5s

  • The way of writing to a wireless bridge between two different routers.1:broadband and dir 2:dlink 605 l

    I want to bridge.and wireless I can't do that... Please send me how to write to a wireless bridge between two different routers.

    1:broadband
    and
    2:Dlink dir 605 l,

    Hi Mohammed Ehsan Jourah,.

    Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums.
    I understand that you need to know how to make a wireless bridge between two different routers

    What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

    To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.

    A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.

    You can try the steps at the bridge between two different routers wireless.
    a. determine the coverage area. When using two or more routers, the coverage area should be divided, and each router should be placed in a central location in each subdivision. If you add a wireless router to an existing network, this may mean moving the first router.
    b. decide which router is the main router. The main router is connected to the Internet, a LAN cable or other networks. It should be as close to the wired network connections or who has the best line of sight to another wireless network. In addition, the main router should be a high range router, allowing large tables of State and more users.
    c. buy a spare antenna, as the antennas that come with most routers do not have very good range. Quality omnidirectional antennas can push the range and signal strength of each of the routers, which, in turn, will reduce the cost by allowing routers less cover more space overall.
    d. deploy the primary router carefully. This router is the most important and requires most of the time of installation and options. Set the WEP (Protocol) encryption Service Set Identifier (SSID) and wireless, set up the Internet connection and test the router with some clients (computers). Once you get the main router deployed, deploy other routers should be easy.
    e. deploy the secondary routers, which must be configured to operate in "mode of transition." Secondary routers should be deployed around the perimeter of a large area or 'hot spots' where users placed - for example, will convene a bench Park or the table.

  • Problems with the WEB BROWSER blackBerry Smartphones, use not wifi network to open some Web sites

    Hello I'm owner of BB BOLD 9900 OS 7.1... for the last two days I am facing a pretty annoying problem with the BB browser.

    It means not affects the device... it just annoys me.

    When I TURN ON my WiFi on my BB with the network carrier Sim already homepage active who has a Active on it and open the web browser BB, according to the website on which I open the web browser chooses between the internet Wi - fi OR internet BIS carrier which is weird. BECAUSE a default if the wifi is enabled, then the web browser MUST use internet wifi network carrier for navigation. YOU TUBE, FB and TWITTER.com all use my carrier netwrok to open bt soon I open BBC.com or CNN or any other site the wifi symbol appears on the right side and so it uses the wifi network... and disappears when I opened THE 3 SITES you tube FB n twitter.

    My knowledge is that when you activate THE wifi network, the WEB browser is intended to USE the wireless internet, NOT the internet carrier

    The next time I switchd off the the carrier signal, and then Turned ON one internet WI - FI and then opened the web browser of BB. so now all the opend website with wifi internet bt as soon as I open YOU TUBE or FB or TWITTER.com it post a comment... .that cannot visit the web page when the carrier is off. Please turn on the radio n try again... I mean IT SHOULD OPEN with internet wifi? WHY do network carrier sim to open the web page?

    I have checkd my browser settings and they are default and also my wifi settings I have reset the... the problem still persists?

    any idea wats going on?

    Please help is needed I'm annoyed about this problem...

    Thank you

    MR. KIWI... Good news... .i went to my carrier service center... Solvedo Problemo!

    Go to your service books and remove directories of service WAP browser in all directories of service WAP 3 I don't know the exact name, but all are related to the browser... WAP config something like dat... Just remove dem... .and HARD restart your fone... and try to use only wifi on your device with your carrier network off...

    mine worked... Let me know on urs... so now, the browser uses my wifi instead of my network provider when both are running...

  • A two WiFi adapter different networks - is it possible?

    We have two WiFi networks.  One for Apple products and one for Windows products.  I have a Macbook Air laptop with windows8 installed VMWare image.  I figure I can only connect my windows OS to the apple network.  Does anyone know if it is possible to configure VMWARE for my Apple and my Windows VM network connection network connection can share the unique laptop computer wifi adapter but connect to two totally different WiFi networks?  Here is a textual diagram of what I'm trying to do.

    Apple WiFi network Network WiFi Windows     

                          |

    Built-in Apple WiFi adapter

      | |                      

    Connection to Apple The Windows7 VM connection    

    I tried the bridge with wireless and Automatic Mode.

    NAT mode works very well, but the VM_Windows7 connection will only use the WiFi from Apple of the host connection

    If you want that a virtual machine connected to a network of separate WiFi then what is the host using you would have to have two separate WiFi network cards and the Mac has only one.  As a workaround, you can choose to use a USB WiFi network adapter connected to the virtual machine and access another WiFi network then accesses the host.  If a Virtual Machine is presented only a wired Ethernet network adapter it is filled in the map the host network or uses the NAT virtual VMware, which provides Internet/network connectivity beyond the host itself.

  • Can I use two vpn set in my iPhone?

    Can I use two vpn set in my iPhone?

    Yes, you can use but not at the same time. You can add more than one vpn on your iPhone but can only use one at a time. Another way to use the two VPN at the same time, is that you can have an extra router to connect the two VPN at the same time. For more information on this, you can take a look at these answers https://www.quora.com/Why-cant-I-use-two-VPN-at-the-same-time hope this will solve your problem to his subject.

    How can I configure on a second two-factor authentication apple that isn't an icloud but rather my itunes account account ID? Only, I seem to be able to use two steps on the second account.

    You can not. Two Apple factor authentication is a feature of iOS and OS X, based on your AppleID being associated with iCloud account to send and receive authentication 6-digit codes. An AppleID that is not associated with iCloud account cannot be used for 2-factor authentication.

    For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication

    You can set up validation in 2 steps (which is different) with any AppleID - see frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

    Are that several windows that use the same profile folder or that are Firefox several instances each with their own profile?

    If only one profile is used, you must use the file > exit to close all the open windows at the same time.

    One of them allows you to close Firefox if you are currently doing by clicking on the X close in the title bar of Firefox.

  • Copy bookmarks from Safari to Firefox - I like to use two browsers!

    I was looking for a "Import bookmarks" feature in Firefox so my Safari and Firefox bookmarks will be the same. I like to use two browsers, because they work sometimes differently with various websites.
    An example: HP Velotechnik in Germany manufactures Recumbents of high-end and trikes. They have a 'configurator tool' which opens only in the latest version of Firefox. It will not open in Safari. (A Java problem, I think)
    I'm on Mac OS 10.7.2 on an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

    The question is how can I import my Safari bookmarks in Firefox.

    Thank you

    You can find the entry menu import into the Manager of bookmarks (library)

  • M40X-141: black screen when you use the WiFi network

    Since I bought my M40X 141 in July 2005, I got black screen frequently when you use the wifi.

    You know this black screen with typical noise from the hard drive.

    I did all the updates without effect. The local seller understood nothing black screen, associated with the use of wifi.

    In the XP world, nobody seems to find this kind of abnormal things so I'm desperate to find a solution to stop the frequent black screens. Recently try a usb dlink wifi dongle (dwl-G122) the constant flow of black screens disappeared
    (An Xp session 10 days was previously impossible).

    Now, I know this is a bug in the original software and I try desespartely to find a patch or updated driver or professional advice.

    Is there someone here who can help a tired multi restart man to use his laptop with the original material?

    Your laptop should still be guaranteed if you bought in June 2005. Take it to your authorized Service Provider nearest and have their say. They should already provide for a procedure for this and know what to do. Sure the frequency that uses WIFI and display inverter coincides, and you get the black screen. Change them should fix this problem.
