Not sure what exactly you are asking here.
Basically, each TV device can be can be connected to your local network either wired or wirelessly but not both at the same time. (I.e., plugging in an ethernet cable automatically switches the device to the wired network.) However, whether the TV device is on a wired or wireless local network, content can be AirPlay directed form an iPhone 4, iPod Touch, iPad, or iTunes media player to any AirPlay compatible TV device on the network whether the target device is wired or wirelessly connected.

The best way to connect wireless and wired for a WRT160N.

It took me about 4 hours to find out how to connect wireless and wired to a network using model WRT160N. Here is what I have done. First install the CD when it says there is not connection connect your PC, Modem and router Andy any wireless are wired products, after that do what the linksys advisor tells your which is default. When it gives you the security key write it down because you will need it for your wireless and wired Products. Under security mode type your SDD name and where key 1 is type your security password with was given to you. Remember all you wireless products have to have the same SDD Like Linsys and all your wired products have to have a different name like Linsys2 but your Key 1 numbers has to stay the same. That is all you have to do. Remember that wireless and wired has to be in sequence. That should do it.

Hi David Hamilton1;
I guess that all depends on how critical your data is in relation to how much time you want to spend doing the erasure. Those higher level erasure options can take a significant amount of time to complete. Personally I don't have anything on my Mac that I think is worth more time then a simple erasure even if that does leave it some what recoverable. To me it seems some people are going overboard on this issue.

Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK).
The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly. However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G. What have I done wrong?
Thank You

I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point
Hope helps..

I have attempted to update my software over 10 times but I get a network connection error. Anyone with the same problem? Got it on the wireless and wired network.

Bridging wireless and wired network interfaces

Hi,
Is it possible to "bridge" the airport and ethernet network interfaces on a macbook pro using Leopard (10.5.7) ? I do not mean Internet connection sharing. That results in NAT.
I recently got a desktop in my room which doesn't have a WiFi interface. I wish to connect its wired interfaced to my mbp's wired interface and give it access to the wireless network my mbp is on. To do this I would need to bridge the wireless and wired interfaces on my mbp. All the results I find online to do this only talk about Internet Connection Sharing ..
thanks,
regards,
Puneet

You can turn on IP Forwarding to achieve most of what you're after:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
This will have the Mac forward packets from one interface to the other without NAT.
However you still need to use separate subnets, and may need to play with routing to get everyone to talk to each other.

HT204400 I used my apple tv wirelessly and it worked fine,then I plugged an Ethernet wire into the Apple TV to move it and could not it to connect. When I unplugged Ethernet wire it will not give me a wireless option. How do I get that back?

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

Wireless and wired printing

I just bought a HP 8500 Wireless printer, and need to use with 4 computers. 2 of the computers are not wireless, and 2 are. The regular desktop computers are running Windows XP, as well as one of the wireless, the other wireless is running Windows 7. We are using a Lynxs router for the network.
Before I try to set this up, I want to know the best strategy for getting all of them to work with the printer. Can I get both wireless and desktop computers to work with this printer?

No problem. Your Linksys router does not care how devices are connected to it - wired or wireless can all communicate with each other.
If you have a choice I would wire your new printer to your Linksys router with an Ethernet cable. If you cannot, it is OK, its just that wired setup is easier and can be a more reliable connection over time.
Select one computer to set up the printer with (I'd recommend a wired XP machine) using the printer's software CD.

AirPort Express (2nd gen), share internet wireless and wired in the same time

If I use my AirPort Express (2nd gen) and I connect the modem in WAN port, and a switch in the LAN port (this swich connect a computer and a NAS wired), can I share the internet wireless and via LAN and the same time?, the wireless devices and the wired devices would be in the same network?.
Thanks.

Thanks!

WRT54G2 v1 - Internet is Slow Wireless AND WIRED

OK, so I get my internet from a ethernet cable connected to the wall (I dont know if its cable or dsl because I live in an apartment) . When I connect from the wall to my Macbook the internet is fast with Mbps around 30. But, when I connect the ethernet cable into my router and try to access the internet, wireless or wired through the router it takes 15 seconds to load a Yahoo page or a Facebook page
Now the confusing part. When I use the wireless on my PS3 (set up with auto setting on it) it goes fast enough where it can even stream HD Netflix movies and fast enough to not get lag on Call of Duty or figting games. But, when I wanna look at a web page on my iPod Touch, Blackberry Phone, Macbook Pro, and 3DS it takes ages to load one. Interestingly enough I tried SpeedTest.net on my Macbook and these are my result when connected wirelessly (still takes ages to load a webpage, and it doesnt load hulu or youtube videos).
Any advice will help!
Solved!

As the previous poster suggested do a hard reset by holding in the reset button for at least 30 second then reconfigure the router if needed. You can also try the 30-30-30 reset where by you hold in the reset button for 30 second, then while still holding in the reset button, remove the power and wait 30 seconds, then while still pressing the reset button, reapply the power and wait another 30 seconds then release the reset button and reconfigure the router if needed.
It isn't clear if you are using some kind of broadband modem. If you are not using a broadband modem, have you tried to connect the Ethernet cable that comes from the wall to one of the four networking ports on the back of the router rather than the router's WAN/Internet port? Its possible your building all ready is using a router/hub. If this is the case and your computer gets an IP address from the building's router then log into the router and on the Basic Setup page disable the router's DHCP server to avoid conflicts with the building existing DHCP server.

Wireless and Wired Network/Bonjour Printer Settings.

I am setting up a network for a preschool that has six Macs (MacBook, iMac Intel, Mac Mini Intel, eMac G4, iMac G5) on a network spread out around the school. Some teachers bring in their own laptops, but no frequently and most are Macs.
The network is currently arranged like this:
Office:
Bellsouth DSL Router with one RJ-45 ethernet wire running to the WAN port on an Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g).
One RJ-45 ethernet wire runs from the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) LAN port out of the office to a network switch in the Library.
All three Macs in the Office are currently connected wirelessly with Airport cards.
Library/Lounge:
One network switch with an RJ-45 ethernet wire from the Office running into it and two RJ-45 ethernet wires running out of it to:
One eMac connected via ethernet from the switch in the library.
One iMac G5 connected via ethernet from the switch to the Teacher's Lounge.
I am currently sharing one laser printer via Bonjour that is plugged directly into the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) via USB in the office.
There is currently one inkjet in the Teacher's Lounge plugged directly into the iMac G5 and is being shared from that iMac.
Here is my question:
I would like to hardwire the iMac Intel and Mac Mini (office Macs) directly to the network to improve file transfer speed between the Accountant's Mini and the Office Manager's iMac Intel. I have two options, I could run a wire to a network switch from the Lan port from the Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and then connect the two Office Macs and the two Library/Lounge Macs directly from there and I assume that all thusly connected Macs would have Bonjour access to the laser printer. However, I noticed a setting in the (round topped) Airport Extreme's setup utility that said something about "do you want to connect to Bonjour with a wired (whatever" I can't remember the wording exactly, but does a setting like this one need to be checked to share that printer both across the wireless network AND the wired computers as well?
I want to be able to share the laser across the network and the inkjet that is being shared from the G5 across the network and a future Office inkjet that, I assume, I will have to plug into one of the Office Macs to share. I can't put a USB hub on the AAEX to share via Bonjour, so my options seem to be limited. Any suggestions or workarounds for doing this better?
Do the new "N" Airports allow printers to be daisy-chained on a USB hub and shared via Bonjour?
BTW, I prefer Bonjour from the AAEX because the printer's available even when all other Macs are off or sleeping.

Wireless and wired network set up?

Currently I have one iMac and two PCs connecting wirelessly to my Airport Extreme. One of the PCs found it without any issues...the other PC crashed and had to be rebuilt during the 3 days of trouble shooting. When it was rebuilt it to found the Airport without an issue. Never did figure out the issue and feel pretty lucky. Now here is my question...I have an older Gateway Desktop that was hard wired into the Airport, but it is in another room now and I want to connect it to the network for one of my younger children. It is nowhere near my base station or other computers or a cable outlet for DSL access. It also has no Wireless card...yes it is that old. Is there a way to use the Airport Express to wirelessly capture my signal, but then hard wire into the Ethernet port? If not this...than any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

I would suggest a USB wireless network adaptor. It will probably cost around 20$.

Wireless and wired network??

I'm not terribly computer savvy. I have a few PC's here and a brand new iMac. My current network is wired and what I want to do is put in a new network that will work with both pc and my iMac and will be wired for the PC's and wireless for the iMac.
What do I buy, whats the best, fastest and very important, the easiest?

Hi susan-kelly
I have been a fan of AirPort Base Stations for quite some time. They are quite easy to set up.
This link may be helpful as far as the basics go: Creating a small Ethernet network
This link is more specific to getting the PC's and Macs to actually talk to one another and is a little more technical: Networking with a Windows PC

The best router / network set up for wireless and wired combined use

Shout out to all wireless experts...
In my home, I have an iBook G4 I would like to 1) link with a wireless capable Brother MFC printer, while simultaneously maintaining the wired connectivity of the iMac already USB connected to same; plus 2) utilize the Internet wirelessly (via the iBook) without adversely affecting the iMac's wired functionality. Make sense?
I have the preinstalled / bundled AirPort Extreme (404.2) and Bluetooth (1.7.5) software, and imagine this is doable, but I wonder...Which router, and specifically, how to (step by step) do this best without incurring unnecessary bells, whistles or expense?
I've heard / read about the Belkin F5D8230-4 (mixed opinions), earlier Belkins, plus was advised that any 802.11 b/g was sufficient, but continue to be uncertain as to which way to go...help...

E1200 stops serving DHCP all of a Sudden (affects both wireless and wired)

Greetings All,
I have a 2 year E1200 router that has given me very good service uptil now. Now, it appears to suddenly stop serving DHCP at least once daily. This results in a situation where all my devices (3 over wifi, 2 directly wired) suddenly all cannot talk over the local LAN or reach the Internet (WAN).
This issue started about a week ago when the build I live in had an issue with its network - they won't give a full explanation of what the exact issue was but somehow some media gateways were requesting MAC addresses (ARP?) from every single device in the building constantly. Since then, my E1200 gets into a funk daily, typically at night when it is idle, though I have seen it get into this condition during the day when I am actively connected to a VPN at work.
My network consists of 3-4 wireless devices, 2 wired devices connecting to the E1200 (wpa2-psk) and the E1200 is connected to a Digital-to-Analog GW that converts fiber input to 100Mb Ethernet. I have the latest firmware on it.
I realize this is very scant information to begin a hypothesis so any suggestions on whether this is a know problem and if so, how to rectify it? If it is not known, I'm all ears on how to debug it.
So far, my work around has been to reboot the E1200 and that clears up the issue but clearly that is not a good long term solution.
Thanks,
H

Hi,
If you have time, you can try to perform a hardware reset on your E1200 then reconfigure it back manually. Since you are running on the latest firmware, there's no need to reflash that. You might still have the same issue if there's really a problem from your gateway.
If everyone needs to believe in something, I believe I'll have another beer..
