Apple TV/Belkin Wireless G repeater

I have to unplug my wireless repeater for Apple TV to show up in iTunes on my Macbook which is wirelessly connected to my network.
Anything to be done about this? Don't want to have to unplug the repeater; it's useful.

About 30 yards away is a lot of distance with intervening obstructions. I assume the Apple TV has a wireless connection as well.
Instead of using the Belkin device as a repeater, you might try a high-power Ethernet converter located on the same level as the Apple TV and the MacBook, connecting the Apple TV and the MacBook to it by Ethernet cable.
Such an arrangement eliminates the degradation of signal issue associated with repeaters.

Belkin Wireless Range Extender (F5D7132)?

I've just bought a Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender (model: F5D7132) and am trying to get it to extend the range of our D-Link wireless network.
According to Belkin's installation guide, I simply need to place the unit next to my current wireless modem/router, hold down an 'Auto Connect Button' for 10 seconds, and the Belkin unit will then automatically extend the range of the D-Link.
Sadly, this hasn't happened, and Belkin's help pages are of zero use.
Does anybody have this unit? If so, are you able to point me in the correct direction to connect the unit to wirelessly extend my D-Link unit?

Hello, thanks BDAcqua, it is encouraging to hear from you. I will try to clarify the problem I am having. It is fairly simple to describe: Whenever I place my laptop within range of our Access Point(repeater), my Internet connection fails, server fails, etc., everything fails concerning Internet access, even though my Airport is showing full reception of the wireless signal. The wireless signal is coming through loud and clear, I am just unable to use it for anything whatsoever. Only if I remove my laptop from the range of the AP and place myself close to the 'main' wireless router am I able to go online(wirelessly). I can go online with Airport successfully anywhere I get reception except with the new AP we have set up here. The new AP at present works fine only with Windows OS.
I tried what you suggest in your reply and entered the two DNS server numbers, but no change yet.
I can still just get online if I stay very close to our primary router's signal. Any idea what I could try next? I did connect to Apple at router, but not at the AP.
Does this define the problem I'm having more clearly?
Thanks, jb

Printing via Belkin Wireless Print Server

I am trying to setup my my mac so that it will print via my belkin wireless print server. I have been able to do this for my windows pc's but not with my mac.
Other threads on this forum have been able to get it working with other printers but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using a HP Deskjet 6540 on a 802.11g network. The printer is connected to a Belkin Wireless Print Server (F1UP0001). I print when connected via USB but not via wireless. I've installed the HP drivers and the GIMP drivers but that hasnt worked. When I go to install the printer I choose IP Printer and give the ip address of the print server.
Any help would be much appreciated, if you need more infomation just ask.
Thank You,
mholmau

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Safari "Top Sites" and Belkin wireless router

Have been experiencing a problem with Safari / Belkin router for the past 3 days. I have noticed it occurs most often when using the "top sites" function of Safari. It seems that whenever I use top sites it causes a disconnect between my macbook and the belkin wireless router. My computer becomes disconnected from the router, even though the router continues to function as normal.
In tandem, a parallel problem which may be related:
In past three days I have been receiving constant floating window prompt to enter my Gmail info to "update RSS feed... password will be sent in clear text... etc." while using Safari. I have read other threads on this issue and some people attribute it to the top sites function, since updating Safari to the latest version.
Anyone else having the same issue with their wireless router when using the top sites function of Safari? To reiterate - the connection seems only to be lost when clicking on a top site in a new tab or window.
Thanks for all replies!

HI,
Try Safari Maintenance and see if that makes a difference.
Also, I just saw this post... might help you. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2182985&tstart=0

My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
Thanks
Kiran

If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website. Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.

IP Printing to Belkin Wireless Print Server

Hi Guys
Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
Thanks in anticipation of help..........

Can't Connect to Apple TV using Wireless

I am having a problem connecting to my Apple TV from my Macbook while my mac is wireless. I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes but it syncs really slow while using wireless. It connects just fine when my mac is using an ethernet cable. It does not matter if the Apple TV is using ethernet or wireless. If my Mac is using wireless the connection is really slow.
I see the Apple TV just fine in iTunes all the time but when I try to sync or stream it's slow going. I have a Linksys 802.11n router. Could it be interference? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sim. problem. My Mac Book Pro works perfectly with the Apple TV when I turn off Air Port and plug in a Cat5. But It will not do anything not even show it in iTunes when using the Air Port. I have a older Power mac Dual G4 using a belkin wireless USB adapter and it syncs perfectly I have it set up as the main source so I don't tie up my laptop but I do have music on my Mac Book Pro that I like to stream, and it's a pain to plug in the ethernet cable every time.

Time Capsule + Belkin Wireless router, same network to separate slower devi

Alright ladies and gents here's what I got.
I have a Time Capsule and a Belkin wireless n+ router. I want to use my Time Capsule to connect all my wireless n devices using the 5,0GHz band and use the Belkin router using the 2.4GHz band to connect the g devices thus simulating a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, of course all in the same network. I want to be able to see the TC disk from the "slower" devices.
Is this possible?
Any ideas on how to configure?

+I want to be able to see the TC disk from the "slower" devices.+
+Is this possible?+ Yes
+Any ideas on how to configure?+
We're going to need know how you have things configured now. Is the Belkin router the "main" router at this time?
+I want to use my Time Capsule to connect all my wireless n devices using the 5,0GHz band and use the Belkin router using the 2.4GHz band to connect the g devices thus simulating a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, of course all in the same network+
Using the same wireless network name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, as is done on the Apple "dual band" routers, there will be no guarantee that faster computers will connect to the 5 GHz network if they happen to see a stronger signal from the 2.4 GHz network...which is likely as 5 GHz signals are absorbed much more quickly than 2.4 GHz signals.
Your computer will always connect to the stronger signal...not necessarily the faster signal first, unless you tell it otherwise.

My iMac loses its wireless connection repeatedly

My iMac loses it's wireless connection repeatedly. The only solution seems to be deleteing the wireless network from the Network Preferences, and then deleting the network password from Keychain. But I have to do this five or six times nightly. Help!

Softwre Update would bring you up to 10.7.4 and there have been updates involving WiFi. Also here are some links to potential fixes:

Wireless Improvements
Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.
These Firmware updates may or may not apply to your system, but may help with your particular problem.

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA

Does my desktop come with wireless capability with no need for a separate router needed to be purchased, when airport is opened up belkin wireless is checked and other locations are listed but locked? Does my xfinity unit have one or just a modem? TIA

Your iMac does have wireless capability. It does need, however, some wireless network in order to connect to the Internet. It sounds like there are several networks in your area, including one Belkin router that is not encrypted and several other networks that are. I presume that you would know if the Belkin one is yours, and you would have mentioned it. Do not use someone else's network without their permission. In some jurisdictions it is illegal, in others it is merely foolish.
It is impossible to know what Xfinity has given you. Possibly it is only a cable modem, or perhaps it has a router built in. Call them and ask them. If it has a router built in, get them to help you set it up. Note that some tech support people for Internet service providers will resist working with Macs. Be persistent, it is not that different.
If they did not provide a router, you will need to get one. Apple makes the AirPort Extreme base station, the AirPort Express base station and the Time Capsule. Other companies have their own. Be sure you get one that is up to date and has 802.11n capabilities (for the highest speed) and go on from there.
Best of luck.

Linksys Wireless N Router w/ Belkin Wireless G Adapter Connection?

I recently bought a Linksys wireless n router to better serve my two new laptops with wireless n cards. They are now lightning fast and super reliable. However, my desktop, which has a Belkin wireless g card connects about a third as fast and last only about 5-10 minutes before needing to be reconnected, which can cometimes take a while itself. I changed the channel to 11 which helped a little and am running the router on 20 MHz only.
My previous router was a Belkin wireless G.
I'm looking for answers/explanations and possible solutions to speeding up my desktop's speed and increasing its reliability w/o jeopardizing my laptops' supreme performance.
Thanks for your help,
~Josh

Set the Channel Width to 40MHz only,Wide Channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Under the Security tab,uncheck.. dw(vs_internetfilter0);Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on save settings..Now,power cycle the router and check...

I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults." This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

I have a new macbook pro hooked up to a belkin wireless router. My HP officejet printer is also connected to the router. I cannont get the printer to work from my computer without restarting my computer evertime I want to print. How do I fix this?

I have a new Macbook Pro hooked up to a new Belkin wireless router. I can connect to the internet without a problem. I have an HP officejet printer hooked up the the router to work wirelessley, The router is reading it as connected. My computer reads it as offline. If I reset my computer it will print whatever the first thing is in the que but nothing else and does not work after that. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing? I am trying to set this printer up to work wirelessly from three mac laptops in my house but I can't even get it to work on one right now. Any help would be awesome

Photosmart C309g printer. how do i install it on a second computer. i have a belkin wireless router

my printer has stopped working from a second computer.
it is a photosmart C309g and i have a belkin wireless router. the main computer is XP and the second one is Windows 7.
it use to work before. i have forgotten how i set it up in the first place.

Hi dan-fran,
Just need to download the driver from the link below, and then when you get to the connectivity screen of the installer select network/wireless. If the printer is already on your network the software will find the printer, and you can complete the installation of the software and driver.
