AE Switch AND broadcasting wifi network?

My current network is:
router > homeplug... | Different part of house | ...homeplug with its own Wi-Fi network & 2 LAN ports
as everything I have is Apple, and wanted to upgrade to more reliable equipment, would this work?
router > homeplug... | Different part of house | ...homeplug > airport express (With its own wi-Fi network)> LAN >netgear 5 hub switch > AV/Mac Mini/Hue

would this work?........router > homeplug... | Different part of house | ...homeplug > airport express (With its own wi-Fi network)> LAN >netgear 5 hub switch > AV/Mac Mini/Hue
Yes, assuming that the homeplug devices are working well at the present time.

TS1398 OSX mountain lion wont see or join a configured NON-Broadcasting Wifi Network

My company bought me a new Mac to replace my windows PC.
The company I support uses a Non-Broadcasting Wifi network for non-guests. I have duplicated that signature at home. I have no issues connecting my pc laptop to a non-broadcasting wifi network. There is no security and I have validated that I am typing the SSID in correctly. I installed iStumbler and it sees the correct Wifi initially but won't find it again unless I quit and restart the application.
I have done some initial searching on Mac OSX and Non Broadcasting WiFi with mixed results. Please point me to any repeatable solutions for this delima. Thank you.

Came home yesterday to find my time capsule has an orange light blinking and my wifi network is no longer working. Not sure how/why this happened and can't get it working. Do i just reset it and will this lose my backups? Or can I create a new wifi n/w?

Its an 802.11n (4th Gen) model
I looked at the diagnostics screen (next to the blinking orange icon on the Airport Utility and it says there are four issues:
the software (currently V 7.6.1) has an update available. If I click update I get the error message "There was an error connecting to the update server. Check your network settings and try again". However, nothing's been changed settings-wise
The other 3 status issues are:
Internet Connection - but the router is working fine and I can connect to the router via wifi on my MacBook Pro
No DNS Servers - I have no idea what this means
Ethernet Unplugged - it's not and I also replaced the ethernet cable which has no effect
Do I just cut my losses and hit the reset button - if so will I need to back everything up again (i.e. I will no longer be able to access my backups) or do I just set up a new wifi network - again, will this impact on my backups?
Any help/advice would be appreciated - thanks

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Switch and Broadcast filtering

I read this article in the cisco curriculum, but I did not understand it well :
" Occasionally, a device will malfunction and continually send out broadcast frames, which are copied around the network. This is called a broadcast storm and it can significantly reduce network performance.
A switch that can filter broadcast frames makes a broadcast storm less harmful.
Today, switches are also able to filter according to the network-layer protocol. This blurs the demarcation between switches and routers. A router operates on the network layer using a routing protocol to direct traffic around the network. A switch that implements advanced filtering techniques is usually called a brouter. Brouters filter by looking at network layer information but they do not use a routing protocol ".
Can the switch filter the broadcast ? Yes, it can,,,,as Cisco says :"This filtering is achieved through the implementation of virtual local-area networks or VLANs ".,,,,,Is there any other type of filtering ?
What is the main difference between router and brouter

hi
if u would like to control the broadcast and multicast storms you can refer the link for configuring the storm control for both broadcast and multicast.
you can define up the values and shut the port if it exceeds the threshold limit..
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios124/124cr/hif_r/int_s4h.htm#wp1229258
About the difference between a router and a Brouter afaik BROUTER u use in most of the SP network where you got customers in either DSL or Metro ethernet network where you will have the aggregation of the whole network traffic and from where it will be forwarded to upstream.
It depends on the ios code too which is available to serve the purpose for the same..
you got to have something like 7200 or 7300 in place to serve your purpose of brouter.

Getting Locations and various WIFI networks under better control...

I have several networks that I use. I have a strong preference for some reason to use OpenDNS.
-Home 1 (Airport Extreme, WPA2 Personal, Static IP although DHCP for everyone else - Bonjour printer attached to AE)
-Home 2 (Airport Extreme, WPA2 Personal, Static IP although DHCP for everyone else)
School (802.1X, WPA Enterprise)
-Work (Linksys Wireless G Access Point, Static IP, their own DNS servers (can I still use OpenDNS?), primarily a wired Windows workgroup, but all on the same network, so I can still use Bonjour to get a shared printer)
-Random networks....just want to access them and use DHCP with OpenDNS.
So is it possible to cut down on some of the locations? I usually have to select my location when I move, and recently have had to additionally select the WiFi network from the Airport Menu, it has always been automatic I think. I would love a seemless network switch based on which networks are found in range... is this possible without 3rd party, or do I need to go that direction?
My iPhone does this beautifully and automatically... how can my MBP do this? (exceptions being printers and that iPhone will not connect to my school's primary network that I mentioned above, I use their secondary network which I have to lease for an hour at a time - I'm pumped to have my legit 2.0 firmware).
Thanks for your help.

I just erase and installed Leopard on my angry MBP that always gets ****** off (it's been through 3-4 migrations and restores). I spared no mercy to preferences or backed up programs, all from scratch, just documents, music, movies etc. in my home folder.
So I got to play with a very fresh and clean list of settings for the first time in a while.
My iPhone... manages manual IPs and server settings based on the WiFi network that I am on. When I am at home on one network, I have DHCP with a manual address. When I'm at work, I have a different gateway and static IP address.
Network manual IPs do not change with Leopard do they? The way that I have to manage my static IPs right now is by creating new locations and manually switching at each location. Isn't there some way for this to happen automatically.
I wake up, check my email at home, on a static IP. Boom.
I go to work, open my laptop, get on the internet. Boom.
Forgetting locations, is this possible? My iPhone does it without complaint...

My MBP keeps having to switch between two WiFi networks

Our current WiFi network set-up at home is one Cisco router provided by our ISP (WiFi network: GIORGETTI), connected to another Linksys router (WiFi network: GIORGETTI II) which allows us to use the WiFi upstairs. The signal from both networks reaches my Macbook, but I'm finding that I'm constantly having to swap connections between the two because at some point it the internet connection on my Macbook seems to freeze, websites stop loading or working and I'm forced to connect to whichever of the two networks I'm not currently connected to to access the internet again. I don't know if I'm overloading the internet or something, cause it seems to just happen at random as I browse. I have to do this several times every hour and it's getting really irritating. I've tried restarting the routers and forgetting the networks and re-joining but still the same thing. The internet seems to work fine on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Any thoughts?
I'm running a Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch, Mid-2014
2.5 Ghz Intel Core i7 - 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 - 512 GB
OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

Do both wi-fi base stations share exact settings and name, if they do, perhaps
there would be a seamless use of either one across all of the devices in use.
•Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations - Apple Support
With Apple AirPort base stations, you can set them up a special way to extend
a network, if they are using the same setting. - With your other brand, it may be
the fact is their ranges do not overlap well for use with your MacBook Pro. Are
you certain the iPhone and iPad products are using the same wi-fi as the MB/P
or are they able to access by cellular network instead of the wi-fi base stations?
In the past, my wi-fi base station in use was one with an external antenna port
so I was able to obtain an antenna so as to add range to the main base station.
This worked well, so long as I avoided placing wi-fi device by metal walls, or
concrete, or near other devices that generate interrupting similar signals. A fair
way to extend a network is by Ethernet between wi-fi base stations.
There is a possibility of having over-extended or over loaded the wi-fi capacity
of your local internet connection, in some instances. Note this is mentioned in
the above linked article in the section where the topic covers using a single or
more than one base station in a local wireless network.
You may be able to check the MacBook/Pro settings to see if you can allow it to
see and use more than one wi-fi source of your choosing, not 'any' but just those
in your Location for more seamless use. Or re-design the wireless network for
better use in the location the problem currently exists.

Anyway, there are some workable answers in the above Support site pages and

take some time. You may have to work around a few blind-spots where signals
get dropped or are weaker due to construction of the building or layout of content.

Bought a Droid Turbo and stored WIFI networks didn't move to it even though I am signed in on the same account?

I have upgraded from the Droid Maxx to the Droid Turbo and none of my stored WIFI networks ported over to it. Is there a manual method to move these over as I have a lot stored in my google account.

Themuzz,
Congrats on the new device! This is a fantastic device. However, we do not have the ability to transfer over WIFI connections. You would have to enter the connections in.

After this latest update to iOS 6, FaceTime and my WiFi network is not working for my iPhone 4S, could you please help me on what to do? I have already reset my network (which made it worst)

Could you please help me to fix my iPhone 4S
After the latest update we've had to iOS 6, I was not able to use FaceTime, it kept giving me an error that I was supposed to wait for an activation code which never arrived, after that I read many solutions which included resetting the networks, which I did to try and fix my problem. What this actually did was to break my network settings an now it doesn't recognize any wifi signal unless I have the router next to me and even the it is difficult.
Now I don't have FaceTime or access to wifi with my iPhone!
Please help me!

Switch and Router Redundant Network

I am trying to learn as much as possible about networking and cisco. I trying to build the following network to practice redundancy. I set up HSRP on my routers because it the only protocol available on packet tracer. The following setup works but how would I go about adding the vlans to switch ALPHA and switch BETA. I would like to use access list for security, for example Sales can't access Accounting but Accounting can access sales. I can do that with one layer 3 switch but how do I do it with 2? Do I add the same VLans to both switches? Should the configurations to both switches be exactly the same? Because I tried that and for some reason the Vlans could not communicate unless I changed the interface to dot1q and trunk mode. I thought it be easier to change all interfaces at one time but when I tried that STP failed. I tried setting only the interfaces being used to dot1q and trunk mode on one switch it worked but as soon as I did it for the other STP failed again. Read layer 3 switches can have HSRP but seems like a waste of a switch. Ive looked online and can't seem to figure it out. So my question is how do I set this up, I would like to add hosts and a server later but I can't even get this to work. Hopefully someone can help me out with this as I find it very interesting and am eager to figure it out.

Ok thanks again John. I will set that up as soon as I can. But the issue I was having don't know if its because of HSRP not configured but when I did identical configs on both switches I couldn't ping between Vlans unless I changed the interface, for example the interfaces between Sales to Alpha then Alpha to Marketing, using the command
Switch(config-if)#int f0/?
Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
for both interfaces.
It worked ok until I did the same thing for the interfaces between Alpha and Beta then STP turned off and everything started blinking. But I had to because I couldn't get to Accounting without doing that to Beta since STP blocks ports and sends traffic through Beta also.The I tried using the same command on all the interfaces for Vlan switches Sales, Marketing, Acc instead of Alpha or Beta to try something different and same thing happened. Not sure if you know why its happening? Wrong interface encapsulation or mode on either side? needed HSRP?
Basically if I change all interfaces on Alpha and Beta to dot1q and trunk mode STP fails or if I change all the interfaces and the bottom switches to dot1q and trunk mode everything also fails.
I guess I try what you said first if it fails I show you what I'm talking about.
Thanks,
John

Can't setup wifi network

Hi Apple
I have had major probs setting up my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n (AEBSn) in the past, in the end i hired a home pc guy who also couldnt figure out AEBSn software but somehow managed to setup everything through windows control panel. Since then the product has been working fine... Until now. I've replaced my old laptop with a new PC and my Wifi network has dissapeared. The AEBSn still has a solid green indicator light, home network is functioning fine.
I have and upstream gateway adsl2 modem plugged into the wall, running to my AEBSn (which i beleive is setup as a bridge with a static IP) which splits the internet to my PC, NAS, HTPC. All cables are cat6 and all access points are recieving a connection. Its just the wifi that isn't broadcasting.
The setup manual doesnt say much, the apple aiport software ultilty recognizes the AEBSn as a 5th gen 802.11n. It assigns a name, airport ID and IP address. Current version 7.5.2. If i try to update from the main screen it gives me the 10057 error, if i try File>Configure Other it gives me the -6753 error.
I have read this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3289924?start=0&tstart=0
and i guess ill attempt to fix the 10057 error in hopes i will then be able to setup a wifi network.
Actually if anyone can offer a workaround so i dont have to use the airport utility that would be great.
Cheers

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get net pages to load on my network at home. I can connect to the internet in work and on other networks. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it??

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network. It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

Airport Express disconnects wired internet connection when attempting to extend Airport Extreme WiFi network

I just purchased and airport express to extend my wifi network. My base station is an airport extreme, I have one wired connection and a wifi network. When I go through the recommended steps to set up the express and "extend the network", the airport extreme will no longer connect to the internet via ethernet. I have tried various settings and can't seem to resolve the problem. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Ok so we now have a solution to the problem. A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped. Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express. In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned. We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name. We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router. I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name. I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare.
Hope this helps.

WIFI stops working properly when I move between WIFI networks?

Hi Guys...
This is my first post. I hope you can help because it's driving me crazy!
Hardware: iPhone 4s running iOS6
I use my iPhone on my home and work wifi networks. Both networks are running well and noone has problems with any other devices conecting at either location.
I noticed recently that wifi started to drop out so badly that I couldn't resolve web pages, use the twitter app or access the app store etc. The phone is indicating a full wifi reception at all times but nothing works! I did a search of the forum and found some threads relating to wifi issues on the 4s on ios6. One of the answers was to reset the network settings on my phone. I did this and reconnected to the work wifi network and everything was fixed! Super fast connection again! Brilliant I thought!
I went home and logged in to my home wifi. It ran ok for about a minute then became totally up responsive just the same as it was at work! I reset the network settings and it fixed it! This happens every time I move from one wifi network to another so I can't have multiple wifi networks stored for some reason?!?
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Does anyone know if it can be fixed?
Apple people... Do you know about this issue?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated

This might help:
