Wireless & Airport Solutions

I have an internet connection provided by the residence where I live and I can only get the wifi signal and access the internet by entering a username and password to a login page.

I am looking for a solution to backup my MacBook and PC and I was wondering if I can use the Time Capsule from Apple, or possibly the Airport Extreme with external drives connected via USB.

The idea would be to directly connect Time Capsule to the wifi signal or use Airport Extreme connected to the wifi signal.

Do you think this may be a possible solution or are there other issues that I should?

Unfortunately, the time Capsule or AirPort Extreme is able to connect to the Internet using the wireless and also act as a router at the same time. They all two need a wired Ethernet connection to another modem or router for this purpose.

According to the type of connection that you are using now, it would be possible to set up an AirPort Express to 'join' the wireless network and then provide an Ethernet to a Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme signal . I say "may" here because you don't know if it will work until try you it. So, get all the details about the store return policy before you buy would be wise.

I use a similar editing when I'm traveling and staying in hotels that offer only a wireless connection. An AirPort Express "connects" the hotel network and then connects with a short Ethernet cable to an AirPort Extreme. In this way, I can set up my own private network in the hotel room for several devices.

If you decide to try this... as a test, buy only an AirPort Express and it set up to 'join' the wireless network. Then, use a spare Ethernet short cable... no matter how long is going to connect to your Mac or PC. Turn off the WiFi on the computer and see if you can connect to the network and get a good Internet connection. If you can, then an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule works.

However, if you can't get the Express to offer Internet Ethernet connection to your computer, then the proposed set up will not work. Return the Express for a refund.

  • 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.

  • Can't find the wireless Airport device?

    I just bought a new Airport Extreme. I am able to connect to all my other computers to this new Airport Extreme except an old Power PC G4 Mac Pro which I still occasionally use. Before this new Airport Extreme, I was able to connect this Power PC G4 Mac Pro to the previous-generation Airport Extreme. When I go to the Airport on the Power PC utility it does not have the new Airport Extreme. I tried to restart the PC to power, but that did not help. Can someone tell me what I should do to get this connected PC power?

    Thanks for the help.

    Lou

    When I go to the Airport on the Power PC utility it does not find new Airport Extreme

    You would not use AirPort Utility to connect to the old AirPort Extreme Power PC.   AirPort utility is only used to install and configure the router to the airport... and you have already done this.

    The G4 would connect just like any other wireless device connects to a wireless network. Select the network and enter the password to connect if requested.

    If the old computer still does not connect, it is possible that security on the old computer's wireless settings are not compatible with the security settings higher than more recent that the newer routers use these days.

  • 4500 wireless: HP Solutions Center does not work since the upgrade to windows 10

    Hello

    My solution Center no longer works since I've upgraded to windows 10.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the HP community @DJHar,

    I understand that the Solution Center Software no longer works since you have upgraded to Windows 10, and I wanted to reach out for help. I would say firstly under the HP printer install wizard for Windows, that will find the drivers and software for your Officejet 4500 Wireless and install the correct software for Windows 10. Try the software for access later, and it should work.

    Let me know the results!

    It should work... but I strongly encourage you to get rid of the names of apple...

    Use all the names that are short, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters.<10 characters.="" do="" not="" use="" apple="" recommended="">

    Also, use changes to comply with the above... but may be > 10 characters if you are paranoid.

    Still have questions try locking channels 2,4 ghz to use no security just to test... If he still refuses to connect when other clients in the same place can then you are facing a more serious problem.

  • Wireless printing solution

    Your answer in the link below regarding "black ink only" development on the HP Office Jet 6700 Premium was very useful. I am looking to buy a color wireless printer which also allows you to print in "black ink only" without the use of ink color. What are the best to meet this need? I looked at the HP Envy 5355. Who would meet my needs?

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Ink-toner-cartridge-printhead-issues/HP-OfficeJet-6700-premium-won-t-PR...

    Thank you very much for the help!

    The envy 5355 user manual indicates on page 49, it supports the mode single cartridge.  This printer has a black cartridge and a tricolor cartridge. This printer will support printing with one or more empty colors, or with one of the cartridges completely disappear.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

    • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. 5355 Envy is an example.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the Officejet 7110 printer.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
    • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  • The Airport 5.6.1 (10 Windows) utility cannot find Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have the Airport Extreme Base Station (model A1408) model.

    I'm under Apple Airport Utility 5.6.1 on Windows 10.

    10 Windows Firewall is disabled.

    All of my WiFi devices, including my Windows laptop, 10, all work fine on the wireless network, and the light on the base station is green.

    Life seems good... EXCEPT, when I run the utility Apple Airport (version 5.6.1) it says it's "impossible to find wireless Airport". Clicking on Rescan is fixed not. Power by bicycle to the base station doesn't fix it. It worked before, so this is the behavior seems to be somewhat intermittent. Lately, it doesn't quite work. So I can't reconfigure my base station.

    Is this a known issue? Y at - it a known solution?

    First of all, understand that the AirPort for Windows utility has not been updated since Windows 7. It 'works' on later versions of Windows, including Windows 10, but is not designed to work with the new 802.11ac base stations.

    We'll see if this utility is installed correctly on your computer.

    For Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, AirPort for Windows utility will work have two applications listed in the window Apps & features: 1) airport & 2) Hello.

    • Move or delete the file next to the C:\Windows\System32 folder: c:\windows\system32\dnssd.dll (Note: this is the Client Hello library and is required by the utility AirPort.) If this file is missing would be the main reason that you aren't able to find the base station. However, even if it is present, it cannot be properly registered in the Windows registry. In other words, Windows is concerned, there is no.)
    • Download AirPort for Windows install.
    • Run the Setup program by using privileges "Run as administrator". (Note: If you have the option to repair or uninstall, choose the option to uninstall.) To complete the uninstall process. The Hello application should now be missing in Apps & features list.)
    • If you do not dialogue to repair/Uninstall window, then let Setup install AirPort for Windows in its default folder.

    Then, make sure your computer cable or wireless network adapter is configured for IPv6.

    Now, try to access the base station with the utility again.

  • I desperately need help until my extended family of Apple Airport. Any network of experts

    So I'm an extremely loyal apple fan. I pretty much shoot a whole bunch of products for the wireless extend the range of my internet network in the House. I just actually recently bought an Apple 2 TB Time Capsule ("Tall" tower as a) aka (ATCMain) to add to my current crop of Apple routers: year Apple 2 TB Time Capsule (the big one "Flat") aka (ATCExtend) and 3 Apple Express (AE1, AE2, AE3).

    My problem is that I often have a problem with the connection, as the disconnection of the internet. To fix this, I normally go to Airport utility and change the radio of ATCMain signal (channel 11 to 1 or vice versa) or I would go to the internet tab and switch between static and DHCP then back to DHCP click on renew DHCP then update and voila the question goes - for now... Well, it got to a point where it is just ridiculous how I need to keep doing this on a very regular basis, normally I get flack from my cause of family members, I 'insisted' on getting Apple products. So my question is how do I solve this problem.

    As a solution, a few days ago, I bought ATCMain to take the place of ATCExtend. And a little solved 1 problem yet still retained another problem. Here's how the implementation looks like.

    Essentially, hand connect with everything except that AE3 or printer wireless Airport Express is in Mode Client for my Epson printer.

    This has solved the problem of switch me between different Radio channels, I guess that maybe since the two time Capsules have a range more wide an Airport Express Terminal, they are better able to maintain a link between them, solid extending wireless without fault.

    HOWEVER, the problem of the power of the internet is still there.

    My plan is now really invest on just getting the sons of the ATCMain ETHERNET to ATCExtend as well as AE1 (JHWS ROOM Airport Express) while I offer wireless lounge Airport Express or AE2. The Airport Express or AE3 printer will remain the same while we might add 1 more Airport Express and set a cable ethernet to the Airport Express at ATCMain.

    Thus, the question are the following:

    1. I have to reset everything right from the start and start from scratch when I add the Ethernet cables?

    2 should. what settings I change if I Ethernet running?

    3 - is a more reliable method of extending the network to a wireless extension?

    4 everyone here would be able to provide an organization chart on the process to be undertaken?

    1. I have to reset everything right from the start and start from scratch when I add the Ethernet cables?

    Yes, it's totally different configuration.

    A reset will not delete files on a hard drive of just TC configuration on the router.

    You must configure each connected ethernet device properly so that it will be using the bridge to the main router... which I assume is the main ATC. And he must create a wireless network... Use the same name and the same password for all units... I would also recommend for now, you stand for auto wireless channels.

    2 should. what settings I change if I Ethernet running?

    I said for the most part already.

    Airport in the latest Mac OS utility is smart to understand... so long that you start in the order... and make sure the ATV hand configuration is correct, the rest should be pretty much exactly right. If you encounter problems after the screenshots... It is easier for us hard to see real numbers.

    However I don't say all the names, it is short without space and pure alphanumeric. All the passwords are only 8-20 cases of characters and numbers.

    Since Apple is now dependent on SMB network protocol, it is best to stick to the rules.

    3 - is a more reliable method of extending the network to a wireless extension?

    Ethernet is 100000000% higher wireless... This is the ONLY reliable and trustworthy connection method.

    We all try to get wireless... after a while you learn that it is full of gremlins and voodoo... He failed miserably in any network with streaming... to transfer regular data that it might work but as soon as you get in the media... Forget it.

    4 everyone here would be able to provide an organization chart on the process to be undertaken?

    Reset all airports factory.

    Main airport of installation... Do not use recommended Apple names... call him MainATC and call its ATCwifi wireless (for example)

    Set a proper password according to the rules above... a simple sentence of your last film interest.

    Make sure that it is functional and reliable.

    Plug the second TC... Run the installer...

    Change the name to something suitable... Not recommended Apple name.

    It should automatically discover it is the configuration via ethernet to the MainATC and select bridge on wire. If this isn't the case, we can change it later.

    Verify that it works correctly.

    Plug the first express.

    Change the name to something suitable... Not recommended Apple name.

    It should automatically discover it is the configuration via ethernet to the MainATC and select bridge on wire. If this isn't the case, we can change it later.

    Etc.

    When you do the wireless device that will be very good... Place near the airport nearest you, and run the Setup program to extend wireless.

    Make your client mode device to connect to a printer.

    Post screenshots of everyone who gives.

  • Airport Time Capsule: Suspected of weak signal

    Hello

    I have 3 Apple wireless devices all. The main router is the ATV, followed of an Airport Extreme, extending the network and a former Airport Express, also the extension of the network. Briefly, it is a three-storey house, on the first floor of which is a daylight basement (windows and doors on three sides), then the second and third floor (all wood of the frame).

    I'm almost completely Mac/Apple-centric (my son except for the PC game), there are 6 Mac (PPC and Intel) and 4 iPhones on the printers network every day, matching, smart TVs and casual with a device visitors or 2. Generally, there is no connection problem apart from the complaints unfounded. There are a variety of El Capitan, Yosemite, Leopard, OS 9.2.1 and iOS operating systems. Computers are my MBP to 2008, two MacBooks circa 2010, 1 iMac (circa 2010), 1 lime iMac 400 has PPC G4 MDD and iPhones - 5s and 6s (2 of each).

    I studied this weak signal suspected by the search for possible answers on the internet, try to use various applications to diagnosis Wi - Fi and browse the various parameters of the airport. I was not able to "find" a smoking gun or even a reason suspected for the signal is so poor. "So poor" refers to my dissatisfaction with our signal coverage - my expectation!  It is perhaps as good as it gets and I have too wait.

    The layout has my ATC in my office, ground floor, the west wall of the House and approximately 4 ft above the ground. The AExt (from ATC) is through an open door and a flight of stairs and on the ramp (half wall). If you stretched a string directly between ATC and AExt would be 16' - 20'. The AExp bounced around, but currently it is in our gym, which is part of the structure of individual garage. The AExp is approximately 45 ' - 50' of the AExt and 65' or from the base (ATC). My goal is to explain the variety of signals.

    I'm not the most scientific. To drive off the coast, I don't understand why there are 4 WiFi signals reported. 2-5 Ghz and 2 to 2.4 Ghz. "The only basis ' creating a wireless network" is the ATC, the other two are "the extension of the network. There are 2 reported BSSIDs and I forgot how to determine who is what hdwr.

    Walk with a MB and it is Wireless Diagnostics app, it seems, most of the signal issues are explainable. One unexplained is when I get out the MB to the gym, the signal "through the roof" - it probably doubles in strength, and that's where the Express is maybe 60' of ATC. Sounds good, but why, when I go back to ATC, the fact the signal drop in half. I want to Express signal overall. I guess the Express to be the weak link, but of course does not appear like this. My main computer, the MBP, sits 15' and at glance of ATC and gets that weak signals - I guess that it could be the Airport card in the MBP, but I'd like to think not, that I have no way to test it. I'm sure that all this has to do with the 4 signals being broadcast and the differences between networks 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.

    So, why is my best farthest signal from the router (ATC) and why is it the MBP of low signal (MB too), the nearest router. Oh, I have no neighbors to 500' or more. Sorry for writing a book.

    The layout has my ATC in my office, ground floor, the west wall of the House and approximately 4 ft above the ground. The AExt (from ATC) is through an open door and a flight of stairs and on the ramp (half wall). If you stretched a string directly between ATC and AExt would be 16' - 20'. The AExp bounced around, but currently it is in our gym, which is part of the structure of individual garage. The AExp is approximately 45 ' - 50' of the AExt and 65' or from the base (ATC). My goal is to explain the variety of signals.

    When you extend a wireless AirPort network using intermediate connections wireless base stations, it is important to understand how fundamentally. So please forgive me if I go to the places you already know.

    Extended wireless airport works wheel - as with the base station extend over the hub of the wheel. Each of them extending base stations would be on a spoke of the wheel. With the new 802.11ac 802.11n base stations, you can not extend linearly. For example, in your game both the extreme and the Express would be on another spoke in the wheel, step along the same spoke. Make sense?

    That said, the station of further base your Express, would have a harder time getting a signal strong enough to expand it, while extreme may not have this problem. Basically, this would explain the gap between the quality of the signal between these two base stations.

    I wrote an an airport users points to try to help to how to best place a base station that extend. It may be useful.

    To drive off the coast, I don't understand why there are 4 WiFi signals reported. 2-5 Ghz and 2 to 2.4 Ghz. "The only basis ' creating a wireless network" is the ATC, the other two are "the extension of the network. There are 2 reported BSSIDs and I forgot how to determine who is what hdwr.

    By default, each of your simultaneous dual band base stations provide actually two wireless networks; one on the 2.4 and the other on the 5 GHz bands. Base stations extending each of these repeat if they are in the range. Note that the higher frequency band (5 GHz) would have a harder time penetrating objects, such as walls, ceilings, etc. and it is basically only usable in the same room. I'm guessing what to do in distance between base stations, the extreme is able to expand both networks, but the Express (especially, if it is a model of generation 802.11n 1) extend one or the other.

    For routers to Apple, the BSSID is the MAC address wireless base station itself.

    One unexplained is when I get out the MB to the gym, the signal "through the roof" - it probably doubles in strength, and that's where the Express is maybe 60' of ATC. Sounds good, but why, when I go back to ATC, the fact the signal drop in half. I want to Express signal overall.

    To each base station that spread, the level of the signal from the base station can be high, but real bandwidth of the signal will be the same as what he receives in this place. Yes, you can see a high (full bar) signal level, its ability to transfer data will be reduced because of this limited bandwidth. The key is to place the base station that extend to a resort beach it is the extension to get the specific width of possible higher bandwidth SNR. It is covered in the tip that I quoted above.

  • Thinking of adding Airport Extreme for Google Fiber

    Hello world. Wanted to start a new question related to Google fiber... slightly different from the issue of Back2Mac earlier.

    I just Google fiber. House is wired throughout with CAT6. Wired connection works fine. Wireless is great, sometimes, but do not receive the beach or the consistency we want.

    Can I add an Airport Extreme, hard connected to the Google fiber network box (which is a router, "PNG" for short) and everything work well and be safe?

    There is a lot of information out there, but most are very technical and I think talking to try to take the PNG of the equation all together. I don't need or want to do. Looking to replace PNG with a wireless Airport Extreme wireless. I think that all that I have to connect the Airport Extreme to PNG by wire, set the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and "create a wireless network" and disable wireless of PNG.

    I have not bought the Airport Extreme and wouldn't bother, if it will be technically above my head. I've seen many references to static port forwarding, DMZ, IP, etc.. Are there others that should be configured to secure my installation? In addition, the activity of the network of wired and wireless devices will share work together (for example, iPhone wireless to AppleTV wired antenna)?

    Thank you and appreciate any help anyone has for a novice with little network experience!

  • Problems with the Wi - Fi (Airport Extreme and At &amp; t Uverse questions)

    Hello

    We used an Airport Extreme with AT & T Uverse to our network wireless successfully since 2010. Recently Uverse sent me a new modem, and our wireless service has taken a turn for the worse. The network has two different wireless Internet for our House. Please let know us how we can solve this problem. We use a Mac, mac laptop 2, iPad 2 & all Iphones 2 are up-to-date with the latest version of the software.

    The AT & T device is a modem/router that provides a signal of wireless network with a name something like ATTa1b3c3d, for example. Your AirPort Extreme also provides a wireless signal by using a wireless network name that you have assigned to the device.

    Thus, it would be normal for you to be able to 'see' the two wireless networks.

    If you don't want to not use the ATT Wireless, just ignore it... or... If you think that it is at the origin of the conflict with the wireless AirPort Extreme, it is possible to turn off wireless on ATT modem/router, so that you only 'sees' the AirPort Extreme network.

    AT & T support can help you in the task of turning off the wireless... or... If you have the number of brand and practical model of modem/router, AT & T, we can try to find an online configuration guide which could provide instructions for this task.

    If you encounter a different kind of problem, please provide details on the problem.
