AP Express & EE Brightbox 2 Compatibility

I am in UK and my service provider is EE.  I use their Brightbox 2 Fibre Broadband router and connect via wifi.
I want to improve the wifi signal to my iPad when I am using it in the garden and was wondering if this could be achieved by connecting an AirPort Express to my Brightbox.  I understand that this may not be possible using wifi but wondered if the two could be connected by an ethernet cable.  If this was possible, however, would it be likely to offer an improvement as the AP Express would be located close to the existing router and no nearer the garden?

You are a gold mine of information!
I am trying to achieve my aim while keeping my wife happy which me suggesting to her that I run cabling through the house would not :-( even though it provides the best solution.
I do get a usable signal MOST of the time while outside but occasionally it drops and it is that which I am trying to cure. I first thought of the wifi boosters such as this type (below) but there seems to be a mix of opinion no matter which brand you look at.  I suppose in part that could be due to the various users' environmental differences.
Thanks again!

  • I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?

    I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?

    When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
    If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features.

  • Meeting place express and Windows 7 compatibility

    I wonder if someone already tried to use Meeting place Express 2.0 with clients that are using Windows 7 OS? If so I wonder if there are some compatibility issues?
    Regards

    At least with the 2.1.1.2 hotfix 36 version (last and highly recommended patch) of the product the Outlook plugin appears to work with Windows 7 32bit and Office 2007. It's getting increasingly touchy as Microsoft patches things and totally bombs in Office 2010 if you have the 64bit version.
    The Adobe Breeze interface seems to function without issue, even in the 64bit OS.

  • Solaris Express 11 and Mac compatibility

    Hi all,
    I would want to use Solaris with my Mac so I tried to boot on the DVD and install the Developer version, the Mac boot on it correctly and started to install Solaris. But I have a problem with the screen (APPLE 23' with a NVidia 7300GT) when it wants to switch in the window mode, my screen freeze and the system returns to the console mode...
    I tried with another screen (samsung 17') and the installation in a window mode worked !
    So the problem is the compatibility with the screeen or my graphic card ? (it seems that the 7300GT is not yet supported, it doesn't appear in the listed supported devices report)
    how can I do to work with my Apple screen with the high resolution (1920*1200) ?
    thanks a lot...

    Cindy,
    Thanks for the quick reply. If I'm understanding correctly, the SCSI unmap command was implemented in last November's Solaris 11.1 release but has since been disabled due to performance problems. I'm running the original November release with no updates so can I assume that SCSI unmap is enabled on my system? If so, do I run any risk of data corruption by staying with my current version? I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 from a SATA SSD.

  • Final Cut Express HD and Camcorder compatibility HELP Ughhhhhhhh!!!!

    I just don't get it. Appple has a section that shows which camcorders are compatible with Final Cut HD Express, but there mostly old camcorders and not many HD ones at that. Then you do read some of these review sites on camcorders and they tell you they have been using Final Cut express with such and such a camcorder that is not on the APPLE list!! Whats more frustrating are these long discussions/threads/message boards on the net in terms of whats compatible and what isn't with HD express. Can we have a comprehensive list somewhere. Their's obviusly a huge problem and disconnnect here since there are literally thousands of pages and threads and messages dealing with this, and I'm adding to it. Any help will be appreciatiated. Thank you

    OIC my mistake...
    You only wanted a list of the cameras YOU were interested in...
    I forgot you (and HD cameras) should be the only importance to Apple.
    Yeah forget about alllllllllll the other SD mini-dv cams, etc.
    The reason the discussions is flooded with questions is two reasons:
    1.) No one knows how to search.
    2.) They know they have to ask/answer a question to take part in these discussions here....
    Search or browse for existing answers before you ask a question. Someone else may have asked your question — it may save you some time.

  • AirPort Express capacity and MacBook compatibility?

    Hi there to anyone that can help,
    Just a few amature questions really before I buy. I have a 2Ghz Core Duo Macbook which is not compatible with 'n' speed wirless internet, therefore I'm not bothering with buying Airport Extreme. I will be plugging the Airport Express into a Netgear router via ethernet cable.
    Please could someone answer these for me, thanks:
    - Will AirPort Express work with the Airport on my Macbook wirelessly, and therefore I'll be able to play my iTunes music from Express?
    - How do you put your iTunes music on Express in the first place?
    - Will I be able to able to use the internet and Airtunes at the same time ok?
    - How much capacity of music can the Airport Express hold?
    Thank you very much for reading. I'll look forward to a reply,
    Reason 346

    Hi there Tesserax, thanks very much for the reply and welcome.
    Sorry I haven't been able to respond as fast as I'd hoped. Your post explained a lot thank you, and yes you're right I must have got the Apple TV information confused with Express
    I thought that Express would act as a sharing server. Basically, I have purchased Logic Studio, with Logic Pro 8 included. I want to free up some space on my MacBook before I install it because it takes up a lot of room.
    I was thinking of trying to put my iTunes music somewhere else so it is not taking up space on my MacBook hard drive. I have an external hard drive which I could use, but I'd have to keep connecting it everytime I wanted to use my iTunes music.
    I saw this on the Apple Airport Extreme product page:
    "Instant drive sharing.
    New to AirPort Extreme, AirPort Disk turns almost any external USB hard drive into a shared drive. Simply connect the drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and — voila — all the documents, videos, photos, and other files on the drive instantly become available to anyone on the secure network, Mac and PC alike. It’s perfect for file sharing, collaborative projects, and more."
    So would I be able to put my iTunes music on the external hard drive, connect it to Extreme, and then tell iTunes that my Library is at that location? So every time I opened iTunes it wouldn't say "Your Library Is Missing", and all my files would be accessible wirelessly? I pressume this doesn't work with just Express?
    Thank you for reading.

  • Airport Express/Xtreme Norton Firewall Compatibility???

    I've just installed the above - and it all works fine.. except: when the computer goes to sleep (and wakes up again) Airport won't find the base station. It recognises the 'network' but when i use the airport setup utility, it refuses to see my one and only base station. I have to restart the computer to make it work or disable Norton Firewall (but obviously i cannot leave it that way!!)
    I've a G4 iBook 10.3.9 on a (now paltry) 800mhz clock!
    Any help greatfully received!
    Thanx.
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi David;
    My suggestion is get rid of Norton Firewall and use
    the firewall built into OS X instead.
    There is no reason to use anything from Symantec.
    Allan
    Thanx Allan!
    Will ditch Symantec asap! (causes problems with Limewire too, so even better!)

  • CS 6 install effecting Expressions Encoder

    Hi,
    Sorry this might be a little off topic for this forum, but I'm on a Windows 7 SP1 PC and have just installed CS6.  I use Microsoft Expressions Encoder to make all my .wmv files and it's always worked fine, but after the CS 6 install when I try to load a Quicktime(uncompressed, h.264, dnxhd, etc.) into Expression Encoder the file has a green tint to it like it's missing the red/blue channels of the file(see attached image.  Also if I try to use Adobe Media encoder with a quicktime to create a .wmv I don't have any encode settings available to.  Is there some issue with the Windows Me)dia codec and Adobe CS 6 right now?  I can't find any threads on it, but is a huge issue for me as many clients require me to make .wmv.  Any clues to what conflict might be going on here?  I'm running Windows Media Player 12 and Expressions 4.0.4 free version.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Thanks for the response Dima.  So after digging a little deeper I've found there is a settings tab in Expressions Encoder (Tools>options>Compatibility) that shows all the codec plugin on your system.  You can enable/disenable as you please.  I have a list of "quicktime.qts" files.  When I disable all the "YUV settings" and leave the RGB options enabled EE sees the files just fine and encodes properly, but this has lead me to a new problem.
    My source files are DNxHD 220 .MOV set to RGB space exported from a timeline in Avid DS which is working in YUV space.  Quicktime plays these files back fine, I open them in PP 6 and they playback and look fine, but when I got to export a .wmv the exported file appears with the green tint I've explained.  So it seems to be a RGB>YUV conversion issued, but I'm not sure which software is causing it.  I can send you a sample .wmv export from PP 6 and a sample of my source material as well if that would help.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Can I Use My Time Capsule as a 2nd Wireless Router? Pls Help

    Thanks for trying to help. I have a Time Capsule that I'm currently using to back up my files. My next door neighbor is willing to share his internet with me for half the monthly cost. He already has a wireless router and I can connect to it (no probs) except the signal strength is not so powerful since I'm a couple feet far from his router. I was wondering if I can use my Time Capsule to hook up the internet via WIFI through his wireless router (that way I have a stronger signal strength from my Time Capsule). Basically using my Time capsule as a 2nd wireless router.
    Neighbour's wireless Router = Time Capsule = My Macbook
    If I can please tell me how to set this up in details please. thanks for your time.
    Message was edited by: Thomas Pink

    You are trying to set up the Time Capsule as a Wireless Router
    and Repeater? - To share an existing wireless network, wireless?
    The AirPort Extreme was capable of repeating (like a transceiver)
    to and from an existing wireless network, to expand upon it; but
    only did this with another AirPort product, such as an Express.
    The Time Capsule and many of its features are outlined here, with more
    information: AirPort + Time Capsule: http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    You may have to direct your question regarding expanding an existing
    wireless network, to the Discussions section for the specific products.
    Usually, the "extend a network" wireless feature in the software setup
    only applies to the use of a second Apple AirPort-type base station;
    such as the Extreme, Express, etc. The compatibility is between the
    AirPort-like Apple products; but a bridge could be made if an Express
    were attached to the other wireless network via Ethernet cable, then
    the Time Capsule may be able to see it. This would require testing.

  • Can anyone recommend a Hard Drive handycam?

    Apologies for reposting this, however my original post was misleading. I had put HD handycam (which in the real world means high def) when I meant HDD (hard disk drive).
    Here is my corrected post:
    Can anyone recommend a Hard Disk Drive handycam that will be compatible with imovie 08? I've read an awful lot over the past week about the difficulties people have had compatibilities between hd cams and up to date Macs. I have also read that imovie 08 is not a particularly good editing tool any longer. If I then add Final Cut Express, will there similar compatibility issues?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Peter

    I just went looking for this camera online and I don't find it. Did you mean the Canon HG-10?

  • Looking for some info, Creative is not much help.

    Looking for some info, Creative is not much help. Ok, right now I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. It can use the digital inputs to decode either Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES to the analog speaker outputs. (Also a 5. setup.)
    I recently built a new PC, and would like to replace the sound card, but I use that feature (as well as some others). Seeing how Creative doesn't want to easily display the capabilities of there cards, I would like someone to let me know what card will allow the fallowing in Windows XP, Vista, and theoretically Windows 7.
    Hardware decoding of Dolby Digital, DD EX, DTS, and DTS ES and allow a proper 5. playback through analog speakers.
    Recording of whatever is playing out of the the speakers. The recording selection is labeled "What U Hear")
    The reasons behind me wanting to buy a new card are simply that I would prefer to run it through PCI-Express, and have full compatibility at the release of Windows 7 without any loss of features I need. From what I can tell, if things work in Windows Vista they will work in [email protected]

    All I can say to you (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that Xtremegamer's doesn't decode DD/DTS via hardware with official drivers (altough they're capable of - all X-Fi are capable of decoding). XtremeMusic does the job with official drivers. I don't know the rest of the models. Someone adds [email protected]

  • USB/Firewire expresscard

    So I noticed today that I was running out of USB/Firewire ports on my 15" MBP. More then that I noticed that I lacked Firewire 800.
    I was wondering if there was a firewire 800+USB 2.0 express card, or maybe a firewire 400+USB 2.0 express card that was compatable with my mac.

    Check this out:

    SIIG offers a couple firewire expresscard solutions.
    This specific one is compatible with Mac OS 10.4.x or later.

  • PXI-8630, PXIe-1078 non identifiés dans MAX

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un chassis PXI-1078 contenant des PXI (4110, 4130, 4132, 2532) et contrôler par un pc portable en utilisant PXI-8360.
    Mon Problème est que sur le gestionnaire des periphériques le pont PCI vers PCI standard ne montre aucun problème mais, sur MAX quand je veux ajouter un chassis j'obtient dans la liste de "remote controller"  : NI PXI 8310 au lieu de 8360. En plus de ça mon PC ne detecte pas les PXI existants dans le chassis comme des nouveaux periphériques dans le géstionnaire des periphériques.
    Que puis-je faire pour résourdre ce problème.
    sachant que j'ai effectué tous les mis à jours possible qui existent sur Ni support:
    MAX --> 5.0
    NI PXI Platform services --> 3.0.1
    NI VISA --> 5.1.1
    en plus des update des drivers pour le mois d'Aout

  • Audio off from clip but not source vid

    I was hoping someone might know a fix for this:
    After I mark in/mark out and create a clip (command+U) and move the clip to one of my bins, if I load that clip in the viewer and pull it to the timeline the audio is 2 seconds delayed. However if I load the source video in the viewer and mark in/ mark out and pull the source reference to the timeline the audio is fine.
    This error just popped up out of no where. It is affecting all saved projects and new projects.
    Thanks!

    Howdy Sparkytastic,
    It sounds like all of a sudden the audio from your video clips is delayed in all of your projects. I would recommend taking a look at these steps specifically from the following article:
    Final Cut Express: Troubleshooting Basics
    Check compatibility and driver versions for third-party devices 
    If you're using a third-party storage system, input device, or something else, check the support area on the manufacturer's website to be sure that you're using the latest version of the relevant driver or other software for your device, if necessary. To see if your video device has been qualified for use with Final Cut Express, review: Final Cut Express: Camcorder support.
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Express back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Express user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    Remove the "com.apple.finalcutexpress.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    Remove the "Final Cut Express User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.
    Final Cut Express
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Express. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application then install Final Cut Express and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Express. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Express.
    Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs handy before starting this.
    On Mac OS X v10.5
    Open the Applications folder. Drag the Final Cut Express application to the Trash.
    Go to /Library/Receipts.
    In the Receipts folder, select the FinalCutExpress.pkg file.
    Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list.
    Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Express.
    Drag the FinalCutExpress.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutExpress.pkg's modification date.
    Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically.
    Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Express" to the Trash.
    Insert your Final Cut Express installation disc and install Final Cut Express.
    When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
    On Mac OS X v10.6
    Open the Applications folder. Drag the Final Cut Express application to the Trash.
    Insert your Final Cut Express installation disc and install FInal Cut Express.
    When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
    For further information on settings or installation, please refer to the Final Cut Express documentation available on your installation discs.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
