Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
My current setup in my house is:
- A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
- A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
Can you help me out?

No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?

    Is it possible to use both IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?
    I want to use my TB hard drive attached to one Mac via Firewire 800 to backup another Mac also attached to the same drive via Firewire 800. I can only mount the drive on one machine at a time so I need to share it out to the other Mac. It works great if I set it up to do strait IP over Firewire, with static IPs, but that means I can't connect to the internet because my ethernet connection on both machines becomes the secondary connection method. Similarly, if ethernet is primary then I can't connect via Firewire. Is there a way to set it up so the Macs will know which method to use depending on the IP address?
    I am using 10.5.1 on both machines.
    G5, 1.8 GHz, 15.GB RAM
    MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM
    Thanks!

    Certainly.
    In the network control panel I set Built-in FireWire to the top of the service order list, followed by Built-in Ethernet.
    Next, I set Built-in FireWire to Configure Manually with the address 192.168.1.xxx and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.xxx, making sure the Subnet Mask is set the same on both machines and that the IP address is different on both machines and different from the Built-in Ethernet addresses.
    I applied the settings, turned on Sharing on both machines, then mounted whatever shared drives I needed by connecting to the other machine using the FireWire IP address.
    Now I am able to share drives using FireWire 800 - which works great when used with Time Machine - and still use my normal ethernet to surf, etc..

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject

        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

  • Can we use Badi BBP_SOURCING_BADI and BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS at the same time

    Hi everyone,
    We need you help. We are working in SRM 7 and ECC 6 EhP 4. We have a doubt. Can we use badis BBP_SOURCING_BADI and BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS at the same time in a classic scenario?
    We want to create the contract in ECC, and then we want to return the SC in SoCo in order to create the PO with the SC and the contract.
    We activate both, but the SC is not returned in SoCo.
    Thanks,
    Ivá

    Hi Ivan
    You can use both badi to change srm standard behavior.
    but one shopping cart item and it can have only one follow on document either Contract or Purchase order.
    i presumed that you want to use same sc for two purposes to create both SC and PO but it is not possible.
    for example
    shopping cart item has follow on document created  as a contract But you need to create a another shopping cart to create a Purchase order  w.r.t that contract .
    Once follow on documents are created sourcing flag will be removed .- rule
    BBP_SOURCING_BADI - you can write your custom logic and make way to cockpit .
    BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS - Determine your logical system.

  • Has anyone used switch control and siri at the same time?

    Has anyone used accessibility switch control and siri at the same time?

    Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
    You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
    The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
    Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.

  • Airport Snow Network and Ethernet at the same time?

    Here's the setup. I've got a new Intel MacMini (10.4.6), G4 Sawtooth (10.3.9), iBook G3 and a Dell all using wireless on the Airport Snow router. I'm in the process of moving files over from the Sawtooth to the Mini. The Sawtooth and the Mini are within 2 feet of each other.
    Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network? Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network?
    Yes
    Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
    The Mac will use one OR the other if they are both connected.

  • HT2508 Airport express for more than one device at the same time.

    I just set up my Airport Express on my MacBook, but when I try to use this wireless connection on my iPad, I have to disconnect from my existing connection on my MacBook first. How can I use both devices at the same time without having to disconnect?

    Hi,
    Yes.

  • Using wireless phone and PC in the same time

    Hello, my mum would like to use a classic phone handset for skype calling and in the same time to use a computer for typing skype messages. Is it possible to do this with some phone divice? I have read that phone handsets usually do not need to be connected to the computer. But she needs to have skype program on PC (to read and write messages) and call with phone. Thank you very much for advice.

    Using either a device like the Freetalk Connect Me or a Skype USB adapter allows you to utilize a standard home phone for use with Skype.  Your mother would be able to utilize the handset to talk  and at the same time continue to text chat with someone over the computer.  If she's logged onto skype on more than one computer at a time, her chat messages will still go through.  If she wants a wireless home phone to work, she would have to have the phone base station connected to one of those adapters.

  • Can i use Firewire 800 and 400 at the same time?

    I have a HD connected to my 800 port works fine and a GL-2 camera on the 400 and final cut pro won't see the camera. Can I have 2 devices hooked up at the same time?

    Yes. But you did not say whether the camera works alone or not at all. In the latter case it could be the camera isn't compatible.

  • Using CS commercially and privately at the same time.

    Hi all,
    If I read it correctly you are allowed to use only 1 copy at the time if you have the CS installed on 2 computers.
    I can understand completely that a double commercial use is not allowed. What if my friend wants to play a bit around with Photoshop? So only for having some fun with drawing or funny photo editing? Must I buy then 2 seperate Suites?
    Thanks!

    I think another way of looking at it is this (this isn't necessarily
    exactly what this license says, but how I look at this sort of thing).
    Most software is licensed to a single user. The "two computer" rule is
    there for the convenience of that single user NOT to EVER allow two
    peope to use it at the same time.
    This "single user" can be one person, or one of a succession of people
    not at the same time.
    For example, you could have a work computer used by shifts. I'd expect
    only one license to be needed, no matter who was working the shift.
    In this case could you install a second copy anywhere at all? I don't
    think so, because you could never know if someone was on shift using
    the other copy.
    Similarly, if a home computer is shared, it can never be right to also
    install it on a work computer.
    So - unless there are elaborate agreements about computer use time -
    the only time you can install on two computers is where they are both
    unshared, used only by a single person, ever.

  • Using Airport and Ethernet at the same time

    I know that variations of this question have been posted already, but I think my problem is slightly different.
    In our studio we have a printer connected to our Macs via a wired Ethernet LAN. We access the internet via Airport using a seperate Mac (not on the LAN) which is set up as a Software Base Station. We would like to be able to print directly from the internet without having to switch between networks. I've tried rearranging the order of the networks in the Network Port Configuration window in System Prefs but each time we try to print we get the message that Apple Talk is disabled (which it's definitely not), and that's as far as we get.
    Any suggestions as to how we might solve this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason.

    The solution is to use a dedicated wireless access point instead of the using the Mac as a software base station. The Mac acting as a base station is placing the wireless clients on a separate subnet.

  • Airtunes AND ethernet at the same time?

    Aloha All,
    I think I have a simple question.
    Providing I use the WDS option, which requires either a AEBS or a WRT54G router, can I simulatenously run airtunes AND use the ethernet port (not wireless) on my AX?
    I would like to use my AX to supply my non-wireless PC tower with internet, while continuing to use the same AX for airtunes, without buying another AX. I currently do not have either an AEBS or a WRT54G, but am willing to buy one of those...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Yes that is possible.

  • On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • Has anyone used Firefox Sync and Xmarks at the same time?

    Firefox is my primary desktop browser. On my desktops, I use Xmarks because I use Firefox, IE and Chrome. It enables me to keep my bookmarks synced across browsers as well as use home/work profiles, etc. However, I'd like to use Firefox Sync so I can sync the bookmarks to my smartphone. Has anyone successfully tried this? I thought I'd ask before trying it myself just in case. Thanks!

    Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
    You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
    The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
