Airport Express--How many is too many?

I am running a new Airport Extreme base station with 3 Airport Express units to extend the range over about a 6200 sq ft house. My wife set up her office at the far extreme from the base station and, although her signal was somewhat intermittent, it worked well enough to allow her to connect to the internet with adequate functionality (although her signal strength was generally at or below 5 Mbps). After I successfully installed a 4th Express using Airport Utility, and located it in her office, her PC connectivity to the network suffered, and a printer connected to the Express in her office was not recognized on the network and wouldn't print. Do I have too many Expresses on the base station such that the signal is degrading performance for the whole network? Thanks.

If using the "Extend" option instead of a WDS with all the stations being of band type "n", is there a limit to how many Express "n" I can use to extend an Extreme "n".
I currently have one Express "n" extending (not WDS) my Extreme "n", and I would like to add one more. Is there a limit to how many can be used to extend the wireless network wirelessly?
Thanks,
Frank

  • How much is too many?

    Have an iPad 16gb.
    Curious - At what point and how many Apps does it take for the device to be affected and slow down?

    Ask 300 people, get 300 answers .....
    I rarely have more than 4 or 5 apps in my recents tray at any one time. But you can bet your bottom dollar that my browser - and it doesn't matter which of the five that I have I am using at the time - will crash on me every day - day after day - 3 or 4 times a day. I seem to have particularly bad luck with the iPad internet experience. When I use the Mercury browser - and it has done this since day one - I constantly get the low memory warning - even if I have closed all apps and have just restarted the iPad.
    That's kind of a bummer for me because my iPad has become more of an mobile internet toy and email reader than a work machine. That's OK - I had no problem spending the money and taking the chance to see what I would get out of it because I wasn't quite sure what I would be using it for but I knew I really wanted one.
    There really is a point to this and it is that no one has any way of knowing for certain how many is too many. As I have told you - I can run one solitary app and crash with great frequency. It's just something that only you can find out on your own as you continue to use the device.

  • How much can too many imports slow inititialization down?

    How much can too many imports slow applet inititialization down?
    I have seen our company's sorce code for some huge applets they have written. In many, many cases, the imports at the beginning of each file are written something like this...
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*; 
    import javax.swing.event.*;Only certain portion of these imports are actually used. Does this sort of thing really impact the applets loading speed? I know it will obviously take at least a little longer but will the user even notice?

    You are not actually importing the classes, but rather making the names of the classes available.

    I've been told that to try and fix it in Linux is too risky .
    I set up the unallocated 20gb partition.
    Can I just merge it into the 29gb Extended Partition ?
    If I did merge, How would I access it ? Which Partition is it an extension of ?
    I am on thin ice here, and would rather fix the prob in Window7 , because I am brand new to Linux .
    Here is the PartitionsDetail using AomeiPartitionAssistant -note the differences:
    http://www.vmars316.com/ShowMe/AoemiPartitionWindows.png
    Is there a way to tell what's in the partitions , especially the two 29gb partitions and the 14gb partition ?
    Worst case: Is there a way to reset my 'Lenovo G770' computer back to factory settings under win7 ? 
    I think I'll add this Post to the Win7 Forum, since I hope to fix it via Win7 .

  • Airport Express -- how high off the ground?

    I'm thinking of getting Airport Express. I'd put it by my TV in the living room since that's where the stereo system is so I can pipe iTunes into the main system.
    Only thing I'm now hung up on is where to plug the thing in. The closest available outlet is rather low to the ground.
    So I'm wondering, for those who have Airport Express, how high off the ground do you think the outlet needs to be in order to allow all the cords to hang underneath and whatnot...?
    The outlet is actually oriented sideways... do you think the unit would be able to stay in place if it's hanging that way? If not, I can easily use an outlet rotator, but this then brings me to the issue of clearance off the floor...
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    In general, wireless devices like the AirPort Express need to be placed in a higher location to avoid as many obstructions as possible. There's nothing wrong with attaching an extension cord to the device to move it up higher if that is possible.
    If you must plug the device into a low wall socket, try to allow the Express as much of a free look into the room as possible.

  • When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • How to resolve "too many HTTP redirects"?

    Hi, anyone who knows how to solve the error every time I open the App store in my iPad? It says "too many HTTP redirects". Thanks.

    There have been many discussions about this - some of which are listed in the box on the right >>>>> More Like This. Take a look at some of those.
    Some users restored from backups, reset all settings and there were a couple of other fixes that worked. Just take a look at those. When you open some of the those discussions you will see additional discussions in the More Like This boxes in those threads.

  • How many is too many pictures on iphoto

    will having a couple thousand pictures on iphoto slow down my macbook pro? It seems to run slow getting pictures to come up and even on other safari web pages?

    I would consider an external drive to store your photos at this point, you are getting up there. It will free up space on your internal drive, then you get to have another go-round:)
    By the way my wife killed 2 MBP's by ot clearing her drive of too many photos.
    Drives are cheap, but some photos are priceless.
    Just my thoughts;)

  • Conditional Build Tags - How Many is Too Many?

    Has anyone ever run into problems generating a project because of too many conditional build tags? I'm new to this and considering using quite a few in a particular project - unless I find that overuse will compromise the project on the backend. I'd really like to find that out before I put the work in. Thanks!

    Hi there
    From the simple standpoint of ease of use, I'd say you want to limit the number to as few as you can.
    Can you tell us more about why you are using them? I ask because later versions of RoboHelp offer things that help us out in this area. You may well discover you don't need build tags at all. But we will reserve that judgment until after we know more.
    What version of RoboHelp are you using? What RoboFlavor?
    You may wish to give the link below a once over.

  • I get a "Too many recipients" Thunderbird error msg when trying to send a group email -- how many is too many ? does Thunderbird have a limit?

    My ISP says it doesn't impose a limit on the number of recipients in a group email, BUT still I get a Thunderbird error msg. Why?

    Well, no, because 4 or 5 times a year, someone writes in with pretty much exactly your question because they too have had a message refused with the "too many recipients" warning. We suggest they use a Mailing List and all is well.

  • Airport Express totally stopped working, tried many methods to make it work

    Hi, I have an airport express, PURELY for the purpose of wirelessly playing music over my network through my stereo.
    Now, I had it working perfectly out of the box, no problems at all. Suddenly it doesn't show up in iTunes and doesn't show up in Airport Utility either.
    Usually I can get it to show up if I hold down the reset button for 10 seconds. This brings up the configuration page, which I go through and enter all my details in and then it gets to restart and it will not restart correctly, it tells me it cannot find it after restarting. +It worked fine before so why not now?+
    I have tried directly plugging it into my router (downstairs in the study) to set it up, it has gone through the setup process perfectly, with all the settings it had when it worked before, the setup process successfully completes with the apple 'completion sound' So I should be able to unplug it and plug it back in in my bedroom and it should connect fine? But when it's plugged back in where I originally had the device, the light turns green and lo and behold, Airport Utility can't find it again!
    What am I doing wrong here? Why would it suddenly not work when it was working perfectly fine before, I didn't have to plug it in to my router when I first set it up so why should I now?
    Help!

    The same issue.
    Asked a lot of macpeople.
    Nobody help.
    Any ideas more?

  • Time Capsule with Airport Express how does it know 802.11 b g or n?

    Here is my setup:
    Time Capsule 1 TB 802.11 b, g or n
    Airport Express 802.11b or g
    MacBook Pro 802.11 g
    Powerbook G4 802.11 g
    My question is: I have the Airport Express acting as a bridge to pass or repeat the signal to the upper floor of my home. If I use my MacBook Pro this is capable of achieving 802.11 g access will it either try and just connect directly to the TC and maintain that (N) connection or will it be forced to go where the signal is the strongest and go to the AE and automatically default to the max rate of 802.11 (g) of the airport express.
    My Probook actually as no issue with full signal access to the TC which is on the first floor but for some reason the older PB G4 only can achieve at most three bars out of 4 but typically just two bars, thus the need for the bridge use of the Airport Express.
    Thanks for the help.

    Most of us are still trying to figure out how to add our Expresses and Airports as WDS bridges to TC, so consider yourself lucky. I think that adding a "g" device to an "n" network typically brings the whole network down to g speeds.

  • Airport Express: How to switch out of Bridge Mode

    I have an Airport Express connected to a Westell 7500 Modem/Router.
    Talking with Airport Express support from Apple today they told me that since I was running in Bridge mode there
    was limited amount of support that they could provide. Since my AE is only provisioning wireless.
    I'd like to change that. I suspect that on the AE I need to unconfigure Bridge Mode.
    The Apple person said that the modem would need be configured from 'Private IP to Public IP'.
    In the config for the Westell there is an Advanced/Lan/Private Lan which is enabled and has a DHCP start address of 10.0.0.2
    and end address of 10.0.0.33.
    There is also an Advanced/Lan/Public Lan page which is currently disabled.
    It has Public LAN DHCP Server Enable, Public Lan Enable, Public Lan IP address (set to 0.0.0.0), and Public Lan Subnet Mask (set to 0.0.0.0).
    Are these the areas I need to change?
    I'm currently using two of the Ethernet ports on the Westell. One feeds into the Airport Express.
    The other is connected to one of my Windows 7 PC's.
    Thanks for any advice or help!

    I think my concern is support as we are becoming more Apple centric.
    I would suggest that you check with your Internet service provider to see if they can furnish you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway device.
    Then, Apple will fully support that setup....and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will as well.
    If you are thinking of trying to configure your modem/router to function as a simple bridge mode modem, it might be a good idea to first ask your ISP.....
    1) if this is even possible and, if so,
    2) how to do this, and
    3) if they will support you when the device is configured this way.
    I would be very surprised if your ISP will satisfy all three conditions above, so if service and support is important as you state, you might want to think of both your ISP and Apple in that regard.

  • Apple Airport Express: How To Change IP Address While in Bridge Mode

    Hello, I have a Apple Airport Express router and it has been good for a few years. Just wondering how to change my public IP address. I am also in Bridge mode to a cisco router. Also I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.

    Power cycle the cable modem.. I presume that is what the cisco router is.. your modem.. if not tell us precise model and make of the modem.
    The public IP is not changed by you.. it is changed by your ISP.. normally if you power cycle the modem on a dynamic system you will get a new IP.. if not call the ISP and request them to make a change.
    It is never really necessary unless you got banned from a site.
    I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.
    There is no logical link to needing a new public IP to being on a windows 8 computer.
    Explain more about your problem.
