Am I doing this right? Vonage and Eyehome with AirPort

I need to get this all straightened out! I think I know what I'm doing but I need some reassurance.
I've never done anything wireless before and I just moved into a new apartment and the cable hook up is in the closet. So, I guess I need to get my internet (Comcast) running wirelessly. That said, I also have Vonage, and need that to be connected to my modem, too. I also, have Eyehome (that I've never used before) and was thinking about putting it in my bedroom (which is again, nowhere near the cable or the computer.)
I'm thinking that this is what I need to do (someone correct me if I'm wrong):
I need an AirPort Extreme Base Station, and an AirPort Express.
And assuming I have everything set up correctly for my internet and Vonage (which I do as I can make and receive calls and am posting this) just unplug the cable running from my router into my iMac and run it from my router to my AEBS. (While everything is off so that they'll all communicate when I turn them back on.) Yes?
Then for the Eyehome just plug the AirPort Express in to the outlet in my bedroom and run the LAN cable from the Eyehome into the AirPort Express?
Does that sound right? I really have no idea, I'm just assuming if it sounds right then it must be right.

I need an AirPort Extreme Base Station, and an
AirPort Express.
Certainly one option.
And assuming I have everything set up correctly for
my internet and Vonage (which I do as I can make and
receive calls and am posting this) just unplug the
cable running from my router into my iMac and run it
from my router to my AEBS. (While everything is off

on.) Yes?
Yes
Then for the Eyehome just plug the AirPort Express in
to the outlet in my bedroom and run the LAN cable
from the Eyehome into the AirPort Express?
That would work, however I wouldn't recommend it.
The ethernet port is only active on a remote Airport Express when using WDS, however using WDS effectively halves the wireless bandwidth.
Using an EyeHome really requires a lot of bandwidth to ensure smooth video playback.
I have found using WDS that though this work, it did result in stuttering video now and then.
I would recommend avoiding WDS and use an ethernet wireless bridge such as the Linksys WET54G.

  • Apple Watch does it make provisions for left-handers? either a mirror image version, or the ability to rotate the display 180º allowing it to be worn on the right wrist and controlled with the left hand?

    Does the apple Watch accommodate left-handed people? is there a mirror image option, or can the display be rotated 180º, allowing the watch to be worn on the right wrist, and manipulated with the left hand? Just wondering if you have thought about that?
    Thanks,
    Rick
    PS: none of the "communities " accessible to me seemed appropriate for this question, so I am posting here, hoping someone will forward it on to the proper place in Apple.

    There's a option when setting up the watch to set it up for left handed users. That and the easily user revisable straps will accommodate lefties.

  • Need help with an unusual workflow - Am I doing this right?

    Thanks for reading, I shot my footage in HD 720pn on the HVX200. The final export needs to be fitted into a 352x288 frame 'uncompressed' which I will hand to my client who will convert to .wmv and .h264 for viewing on a PC and their video playback device (hence the odd 352x288 frame size).
    So this is what I'm doing, I just need to know if I'm doing this right before I hand it to my client so I can avoid problems with formats ect.
    -First I imported the footage from the P2 card and edited it in it's native format and timeline.
    -Once finished, I export to its native format (QuickTime, Current Settings, self-contained). This creates a file size of 1.7GB.
    -I create a new sequence at 352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec (I just guessed here) and imported the self-contained video.
    -I shrink the video to fit the smaller frame and then render and export again using the current settings (352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec). Its now 4.4GB (Why is it bigger than the larger framed original file?)
    The video looks great but I'm still worried about whether my client will be able to play it back via QuickTime on PC and I'd like the file size smaller so it's easier to deliver.
    Any help to simplify or correct this workflow would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.

    I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
    I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

    What does this error mean and how do I fix it?  I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine.

    Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

  • Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab. Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Install the addon

    It sounds like your PC or Mac's internal HD is full. You need to delete some data or move it to an external hard drive or storage device of some sort before you'll be able to successfully complete the restore.

    I was quite surprised by that. And I've been off for a little because I've been giving final exams at the college where I work. Now with break I will be spending a little more time on here until I have to start getting ready for the Spring semester. I have experienced a couple of interesting posters in the past week though. I wa afraid one was going to reach through the CAT 5 and grab me around the neck.

      Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
    To manually associate a file format with an application:
    In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
    Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
    In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
    Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
    Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

  • Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

    Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

    The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
    Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
    Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
    FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
    "Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
    "Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
    They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
