Arris NVG589 Modem: ATTs Best?? OR is there a better one on the Market??

To start, Im not a total tech saavy person but i know enough to b dangerous.  I currently have the Arris NVG589 and we have wireless signal problems and also pixelation on our TV service on ALL of our TVs (Wireless or ethernet).  I have read that there is such a problem between these modems and picture quality on this board.  We have had ATT here numerous times and they have replaced lines did this or did that to improve signal and picture quality to no avail.  Ive also had the main board replaced (Not cheap but, under warranty) on my 65" Toshiba tv initially thinking it was a tv problem and only related to that tv, only to find out it was ALL our Tvs in the house, and all are less than 2 years old. So it goes back to the "Modem" issue again and replacement.   Is the Arris NVG589 the most current model that ATT offers?  Is there a better one on the market that could possibly alleviate these problems?  Oh, I have a 1200 square ft. house, so coverage area for wireless isnt the problem because its so small.  Thank you so much for any anticipated help in solving this mystery. 

I would send a PM to and ask for them to send you a new modem. If you're lucky, you'll get a NVG599, but it will probably be another NVG589.

  • Dear Community, how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ? Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ? Cheers, Marek

    Dear Community,
    how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
    Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
    Cheers, Marek

    Thanks Jan.
    Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
    I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
    Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
    Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
    My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
    Best regards,
    Marek

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?

    I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?

    I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
    Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives.

  • Why is there more then one of the same icon in launchpad? And how can i remove it when there is no "X"?

    In my launchpad there is:
    2 iDVD icons
    3 iMovie icons
    2 iPhoto icons
    2 Garageband icons
    When i press and hold one icon the start to "jiggle" but theres no "X" on them.
    How can i get all of them down to one???

    I can also confirm this issue with iDVD anyway.  I did a clean install of Lion and reinstalled iDVD from a retail iLife '08 DVD, then updated via software update.  I have two iDVD icons in launch pad but only 1 iDVD app in the applications folder.  Note that the version of iDVD I have is the latest, the same version that shipped with iLife '09 and later boxes of '11. 

  • Good day, I would like to use my macbook pro to install windows 7 and it seems it requires a "backup disc" There was not one in the box when I bought this unit. Where can I purchase one? Thx.

    Hello, I would like to use my Macbook pro computer to be able to use windows 7. There are references to using a backup disc that has an apple logo on it. I did not receive one when I bought this computer. Does anyone know where to purchase or get one of these discs? Thx

    You need to have a backup disk drive before you ever make changes to your system; to the partitions and hard drives. Most users at a minimum use TimeMachine to backup their system to an external disk drive, which a WD MyBook Mac 2TB are about $99.

  • What's the best way to maintain 2 libraries one lossless the other MP3?

    I'd like to have 2 music libraries one for home (lossless) and one for my iPhone (MP3). Not sure what's the best way to achieve this and maintain.

    To create or access a second (or more) library on a Mac, hold down the "Option" key (labelled ⌥ and/or alt) when launching iTunes: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

  • Spell checker is really dated. Isn't there a better one available?

    Spellcheckers for the BlackBerrys for example are a lot more intelligent than the ones found in the Office suite. Is there not an add-in or something?

    Those are apostrophes, not hyphens.
    This is a function of the grammar checker which is related to the spelling checker but is not the same tool. Check which rules you are using for your grammar checker in Word.
    Word picks up youre as a spelling problem, as does this forum. It does not presume to know whether you mean you're or your, though. If you use your when you should have you're, though, my grammar check will pick that up.
    Could you give an example where the computer should know from context that you want "we'll" rather than "well?" I especially would be interested in one that your Blackberry picks up.
    I've seen what contextual auto-correction does on my smart phone, and it is scary, not in a good way. I consider it dangerous. AutoCorrect errors have been the subject of many a humorous post on Facebook.

  • Is the codec I'm using OK or is there a better one?

    I put together a weekly sports program that is very popular in our area. Been doing this for over 21 years on local cable. I just started putting it on the web. I am using an iWeb template for the site for ease of use so go easy on me. The video looks OK but could it look better? I shoot 720p 60, edit ProRes LT and then export using the iPhone preset. I would like the video to be a little larger but I am sure the files will be too large to stream. Any thoughts? If you would take just a few minutes to check out the website I would really appreciate it. www.northcoastgameoftheweek.com Thanks again to everyone on the forums.
    Best,
    Tom

    SoCal...Thanks for the response. This might be the way to go. I will experiment this week. The file size is larger but it still seems to download fairly fast. I will let you know. Thanks again.
    Best.

  • HT4623 please help i cant get my software upgrade for ios 7 there is a one in the software upgrade box but all it says is checking for updates

    cannot up date software to ios 7 so i can get certain apps all it does is say checking for updates

    Here are some options:
    1. turn off your device completely for at least 30 sec
    connect your device to your computer
    update using iTunes in your computer.
    2. If the first option fails, try resetting first the settings (setting>general>reset>reset all settings). Once done click on settings>general>software update

  • Is there iphone 5 unlocked in the market?

    im looking for iphone 5 unlocked

    Go to Verizon, buy full retail price Iphone 5 with month-to month plan, cancel Verizon plan next day or so.
    All you have to pay extra is $35 activation fee and like $5 for a couple days of service.

  • 800w keyguard, is there a better one?

    The keyguard is too easily defeated. I keep mine in my pocket and frequently find that the phone is off in some menu, making unintended changes. Two presses of the biggest button on the thing is not a good way; can it be switched to require a different key for the second press?
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    I use a belt case because otherwise lint gets in all the crevices.
    Take a look at Slide 2 Unlock 2 (S2U2), a program that adds a graphical finger slider to unlock the phone, akin to the one on the iPhone. I think that would be pretty difficult to trigger accidentally in your pocket. I don't know whether it runs on the less common 320x320 screen on the Treo 800w/Pro, but Samsung also is using that resolution now, so hopefully the program has been updated to handle it.

  • Is there more than one way to strip clean a HD before reloading OSX 10.6.8 operating system

    I've had my MacBook's HD emptied and OSX reinstalled twice now in a few weeks by a Mac "reseller" there is no one in the store that has a full knowledge`of mac's they have the orange herd drive that i've seen in Mac shop's, they have the opperating systems to load.
    both times it's taken only a few moments to "empty" the hole hard drive, it takes longer to empty 10 items in finder  / Secure Impty Trash than empty the HD
    the last reinstall i saw that there 22GB used on the HD there must be things getting stuck in the HD some how and becoming part of the reinstall.
    Can anybody tell me, so i can tell them ( in the store )  how to go about getting a clean HD ready to reinnstall  OSX 10.6.8 with out the things that must be hidden so they become part of the new install

    is it possoble that some files are making it to the "new" HD
    No. The computer can no longer see the files once the Directory has been erased. The only way to access them is from a data recovery method which involves scanning the entire disk and listing these files by examining them - an extremely slow process. I can't say wht you are having the issues you are, but the erase method isn't likely to be the cause - though if you are concerned you could follow the method I gave above for doing a fuller erase, just to satisfy your mind. It may be that the disk itself is beginning to fail. You could download SMART Reporter which can look for possible indications of impeding failure:

  • I,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset.  I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

  • I've lost iWeb and thus my web design.  I must start from scratch.  Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

    I've lost iWeb and thus my web design.  I must start from scratch.  Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

    The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your   Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler.  It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time? 
    Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I cannot sync new downloads to my ipod. Before I installed this version I had two windows when I attached my ipod to my desktop but now there is only one. HELP

    Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I have been unable to sync new downloads to my ipod. Prior to this installation I would get 2 windows when I attached my ipod but now there is only one. The software does not recognise the device (I tried running the doagnostic) but I can see it on my desktop. Anyone know what I can do?
