I am setting up my daughter's 4th generation iTouch to replace her old one. Our family shares an iTunes account because my daughters are young. Does she have to have her own iTunes account in order to use FaceTime? Please advise best route at set up.

She would need her own Apple ID, though not an iTunes Store account per se. This article will probably be of help:

Best router for BT/Plusnet service?

Hi folks,
My Billion 5200G router is dying. Any suggestions for a replacement? Happy to spend up to £100 or thereabouts. My ISP is Plusnet/BT
I understand there is something called 802.11n but not sure about its significance (is it useful to have?).
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Adrian, London, UK

Thanks Rudegar. I just want to get the best Router available that is also relatively future-proof. Belkin, Netgear, Cisco, Billion plus about a hundred others. A lot of choice out there... (The spec of my old Billion is here)

KEITH BEDDOE - WIRELESS ROUTER TO REPLACE HOME HUB...

Dear Keith - I am new to this site and don't normally subscribe to this type of thing and from reading the forum, you may be the man I need!
Have had my Home Hub 3 for a year now (not on infinity) and have had enough. I have spent endless hours on phone to BT, switched channels, WPA/WPA2 etc - but this router just will not work consistently with all our devices. (If I take the devices to work, or anyone else's house who doesn't have Home Hub 3, they work fine), further, everything else worked fine on my old Home Hub 2 but the signal strength wasn't enough to make it round my house, thus I changed to Home Hub 3. The devices are all set up to Home Hub 3, but I constantly have to reset it because it keeps losing touch with devices. If I reset then everything is fine but then some devices (normally HP, Blackberry, Kindle and Nintendo DS) will start dropping signal.
I have now decided to invest in another wireless router, I have searched the forum but am unsure if any of the suggested products are suitable, so, can you suggest something?
I connect the router via the phone line (is this ADSL) and wireless everything. We have quite a large house, so it needs to cover a good range, and easy to set up because I am a complete novice at all this. These are the items we run on it (there's alot, we are a big family) .....
IPhone x 3
IPad x 1
IPod x 1
Blackberry Playbook x 1
Blackberry Phone x 1
Nintendo Wii x 1
XBox x 1
Nintendo DS x 2
Kindle x 2
Netgear thing for Sky Anytime x 1 (sorry, can't remember what that gadget is called)
HP Laptop x 1
HP PC x 2
HP Printer x 1
I just want a router that will sit prettily on the table and do it's stuff and that I don't have to keep resetting to get a signal from it....
Thanking you in advance for all your help....

As Bullitt says, there are quite a few choices, but the TP-Link TD-W8960N 300MBPS Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router is a popular choice.
It does have external aerials, so coverage should be fairly good. Bear in mind that all wifi routers have the same power output, so router placement and aerial quality are important.
Things like PCs and gaming console are best connected using powerline adapters, and not wireless.

Best router for an older imac

I am thinking of upgrading my router. I do need wireless occasionally to stream music, but
usually I am wired (I have 3 computers)
For a few years now I have felt my router is substandard (its an older netgear router I think I paid $20 for)
What would be the best router?
Thanks for all info and opinions.
Ps. if anyone has any clues as how to speed up my cable internet that would help too.
Right now I am using Tinkertool pro to help with the speed.
My isp says I am getting 8mb but I dsl reports says 4mb.
I know that is not terrible but I like to tinker so to speak!
thanks Laura

Most any router that works well with a Mac should be fine. If you don't mind the expense the best option is to buy an Apple router, but they are expensive as routers go these days. I've used numerous brands over the years and have had decent experience with a D-Link DI-524 which is a 4-port and wireless router. Although D-Link does not overtly support Macs many of their routers work quite well with Macs. You need to use your browser to configure them, but that's pretty easy to do. The price is under $60.00.

Best way to replace move in iDVD project?

Hello,
I have an iDVD project started and realized I wanted to change a couple details in the iMovie I imported to the project. I can go back and correct the iMovie, but what's the best way to replace the current movie in the iDVD project with the revised iMovie? I'd rather not have to start a new iDVD project and add the pictures to the drop zones etc. Thank you, Rick H.

I forgot that if I hit 'return' the forum cuts what I write. Once I've got a movie in an iDVD project, what's the best way to replace that movie with a revised version (if I realize I need to make a couple changes in iMovie? Do you just go to the map and manually delete everything except the main title? Thanks, Rick.

Need Advice on Best Router to Connect to Fios Actiontec M1424WR

From reading several of the postings I too want to connect a second router to my network to increase my connections speeds. Currently I have fios 35/35 but of course I never reach such speeds wired or wireless. So many routers are available but I want to make sure I purchase one that will do what I need. What then would be the best router for me to use with this Actiontec. I live in a 3 story home and my actiontec is on the top floor of my home. Assistance would be appreciated.
Solved!

Try a hardwired connection to see if you get the speed. No need to change the router out if you get 35Mbps or higher out. Even the oldest ActionTecs/Westells are capable of doing 100Mbps. If you're trying to get such speed on Wireless and have confirmed it's coming in, add an Access Point such as the Trendnet Easy-N Upgrader (Make sure your devices support Wireless N as well!) and shut off the FiOS router's Wireless or re-purpose it for Wireless G devices.

Best router to hook up a G4 (ethernet cable) and a Macbook (Airport Xpress)

I have a Macbook that is running on an Airport Xpress base station that is plugged into my Cable modem. I also have a G4 that I would like to connect to the Cable Modem, but there is only one slot. I assume that I need a router of some sort, but I have no idea what kind to get. I don't care about the computers talking to each other, I just want both of them to be able to access the internet at the same time.
Thanks for any and all correspondance!!!
Matt D

MattD_portland, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you want to continue to connect your G4 via Ethernet, you could do one of the following:
Get an inexpensive wired router and place it between the cable modem and AirPort Express. Configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED. Connect the G4 to one of the available LAN ports on the router.
Replace the AirPort Express with an inexpensive wireless base station or an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). This will provide you with one or more LAN Ethernet ports as well as a wireless network. Connect the G4 to one of the available LAN ports.

What is the best router for mugs connectivity

i am looking for best networking institute in India, for optical networking please suggest, have heard about Networkers Zone (http://networkerszone.com/) , however needs suggestion and what is the best router for mugs connectivity.

For training on the Cisco Optical I would rrecommend Fastlane http://www.fastlane.si/ they would be able to fullfill your training requirements either in India or at another location even at the Cisco Factory in Monza, they can tailor courses to your specific requirements and also do switching and routing courses too, I have know one of the instructors for over 10 years they are very good.
As far as recommending the best router, that all depends on the application, not what you mean by mugs connectivity, I know what mugs is in English but not sure if thats what you mean or if it is an acronym for something else in any case if you post in the router section of Net-Pro with your specific requirements I'm sure someone woule be able to help/advise accordingly.

Help - Best router for netflix streaming?

Hello,
I tried a Netgear wrn3500 and Linksys 610n before buying an Airport Extreme.
I seem to get choppy video from netflix using the Airport Extreme than I did with the other two.
Can someone recommend the best router for Video and gaming?
I am using cable internet (Time Warner)
Thanks
Frank

If online gaming is the most important requirement, you will want to go with routers that support UPnP. All the major game console vendors support sites list compatible routers for their respective versions of online gaming access.
For streaming you will want a router with both Gigabit Ethernet (WAN & LAN-side) and offers 802.11n that operates in the 5 GHz radio band with wide-channels.
Finally, if you want to support both gaming and streaming at the same time, I suggest that you look at routers that can operate in both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands simultaneously.

Best router for ipad?

Fine,everybody please tell me the best router that will get this thing working?

Any router will work. More powerful are obviously better (go farther, stronger signal, etc). I've used it at home, at work, in the United club, in the a medical office, etc. all with different routers. Takes a minute or two for it to find the WiFi, but then it's fine.

Best router for my network

Hi, I have a PowerMac G4 (dual processor) with no wireless option and a PowerBookG4 with airport card, I've been told to get a router in order to have both computers working with Internet at the same time. I bought an Airport Express, but definitely, I need a router, I know that. I just want if somebody can tell me what is the best router for my computers. I've been reading about them, they are G Routers, N Routers, wireless, wired, etc. Before I buy one, I want to be sure I am buying a right one.
Thanks a lot.

Duane,
You have lost me now.
DSL modem from Interent provider is setup as a bridge.
The ethernet cable can be connected directly to the Express and provides me with network and Internet.
1. Create a wireless Network
2. There is a choice in the Express to "Connect using Ethernet".
3. Connection Sharing set to "Share a Public IP Address"
4. Manually put in the IP, Subnet, and Router address assigned by your ISP.
Works just fine for me. I have been doing this for many years.
I also have set it up like I mentioned above.
Cheap hub. Plug in the DSL modem in bridge mode to the hub. Plug in the Express to the hub.
Setup the Express as outlined above. Same thing with an Extreme or a TC...
Again, works for me..
You say NO DHCP service for Ethernet Clients. OK... Put in a static IP and you shouldn't have any problems.
