Better router than WRT160NL for wireless library?

I have been evaluating a WRT160NL. This router is used to allow wirless access to a set of multi-TB (USB) hard disks that comprise a wireless library. The idea is: I open a Pelican case in the middle of nowhere, and flip a power switch...presto...everyone in the local area has access to all of man's knowledge, including every book ever printed
The features I love StorageLink's ability to plug in multiple multi-TB hard disks (though a USB hub) as a NAS, and to make them available through either Cat 5 or 802.11b, g, and n. I have successfully tested a WD MyBook 2TB dual edition. The ability of the WRT310NL to run off a 12V DC (2.1mm x 5.5mm) plug really helps in the middle of nowhere. (I use 12V universal laptop batteries for power.)
The problems I have are:
(1) The routher looses its' configuration when power is pulled, making me log in by http to set up the NAS configuration all over.
(2) The router only supports SAMBA NAS (AFAIK) so no FTP or HTTP access to the NAS. (Have you ever tried to install SAMBA on a NOKIA 800 or an IPHONE?)
(3) Sometimes I have difficulty gettting the router to recognize multiple partitions. It seems if I change the settings on a partition, it's screwed for good. Togeather with the need to reset the settings after every router cold boot, this is a pain.
So, is there a better version of a Linksys by CISCO router for me?
Andy
P.S. I understand that some models (610) support 802.11a, and gigabit ethernet which would be good from a compatibility point of view, but that's not critical. The real issues are those I listed above.

Try to upgrade/reflash your router's firmware and reconfigure it...
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Better client than sqlplus for bulk fetch testing .

Hi,
I'm doing some test with rows speed retriving via Net8 and need some better client than sqlplus itself .
There is araysize limit of 5000 in sqlplus and its not oriented for massive row fetching , although Im using set termout off .
Test are in 10.2.0.3 environment and 100Mbit ethernet netowrk .
So is there any better client I can use ? Or I need to write it by myself :) ?
I've tried with pmdtm (informatica fetch utility) but it has got some problems with thread synchronization , basicaly strace profiling returns

MacBooks Shouldn't Use Anything Newer Than Tiger for Wireless

Hi,
Apple, I'm really sorry to say, but your software blows chunks for wireless connectivity on your laptop computers since Tiger. I have no idea what you have done, but Airport wireless connectivity consistently and sporadically drops and reconnects. This issue has been well documented on the web by many, many users. I had hoped that you resolved this issue in 10.5, but you have obviously not! It looks like I'm going back to 10.4 on my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, I had defended you and Leopard since it first came out, but I was DEAD WRONG! I REALLY WONDER WHETHER STEVE JOBS TOLERATES HIS MACBOOK PRO DROPPING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY SPORADICALLY! NO, I bet he doesn't. I'm sure his works perfectly well.

Sorry to hear that. My MacBook's AirPort works flawlessly under 10.5.

Suggestions for better router than Airport Extreme?

Just like everyone else, I'm having problems with networking my Mac Pro (Nehalem) to the Airport Extreme router upstairs (fwiw, my G5 PPC tower connected just fine). Anyways, connecting an ethernet cable is not realistic, considering the length of cable going down 2 flights of stairs. So I thought I'd try swapping my router. Can anyone suggest a solid model to try out to get my Mac Pro connected to the internet?

Netgear. And there are signal boosters and repeaters.
No way to run through the wall hidden inside I guess, out of sight and out of the way?
Anyway I have upgraded to latest Netgear wireless ADSL modem/switch along with a router/switch and happy with both.

Dlink router + external drive for itunes library?

I have a MBP who is slowly running out of space... I have a dlink router 826L with a 2TB external hard drive that is plugged in by usb into the router. dlink has settings to set it up as storage, but it wants to use a sharepoint software thing. I want to know if I can put all my music on it and then have itunes look for my music there. I have to admit, when it comes to networking, etc. i become so so so dumb.

Well did you let iTunes import all your music into its folder structure or just let it create a database of the songs?
More then likely it copied your music into itself because that is the default behavior of iTunes unless you first turn that off. So all your music is in the iTunes Library. Go to your Home folder, Your User Name folder, then Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and all your music is in there.
But you can just copy the complete iTunes folder, ~/Music/iTunes, to your external drive then open iTunes and go to Preferences and the the advanced section and click the Change button
then browse to your external drive and select the iTunes folder that you copied over to the external.
Once you do that you can Delete, move to trash, the iTunes folder in your username music folder.

Better options than DAVE for Win NT connection?

I work for a small Mac design group in a large business environment. We store Quark, InDesign, Photoshop files on the companies Win NT Server. To do this they have installed DAVE because they said just using OS X's PC connect ability was causing the documents to be looked at as .exe or unrecognizable files by the Mac. Lately some files are giving I/O errors on the server and getting corrupted. Is there a better option for communicating with a PC server than DAVE?

For just using OS X, I've never heard of any problems like that; I'm wondering if they're just confused? Or are they using a fairly fancy, unusual setup of some sort? Has anyone tried just connecting with the standard Mac feature?; I would be curious to hear what breaks (since if something does break, it probably implies that someone either misconfigured the Macs or misconfigured the server).
For the files in question: Are you able to access these files from a Windows computer?; can you read them there? I'm wondering if the IO error was a network problem (that DAVE might have a connection to), or just that their server's hard disk is failing.

Is Framemaker a better option than InDesign for footnote-intensive reports?

We currently used InDesign to layout our reports and briefings, and are exploring it's XML capabilities with a view to output in multiple formats: high-res PDFs, web pages within our CMS, and e-Pubs. We are unable to tag our hyperlinked footnotes for XML output in InDesign, and wondered if Framemaker would be a better tool. Our layouts are in colour, in a 2-column format, contain charts and tables and occasional exhibits, and we adhere to a strict template with both paragraph and character styles.
Any direction or insights would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea,
Your sample does not look like being »foot-intensive«, I only find two footnotes. And those will not be a problem for FrameMaker.
For 2-column text layout FrameMaker (as InDesign) gives you the option to create one text frame set to have two columns, or create two connected text frames, each of them one column. To keep the footnote in the original column, you would use the latter method. More information can be found in the online help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS6C3D24E6-2965-48bb-B6CF-50D1439AEB01.html
Regarding other elements of the sample pages I don’t see any stumbling blocks. Just be aware that the general approach to layout, and especially when using XML-structured documents, is completely different from InDesign. With InDesign you just move all the frames wherever and whenever you want. With FrameMaker you plan ahead, create master pages and paragraph styles and then follow this original design. Creating layout changes »on the fly« is just not the way you work in FrameMaker. But this limitation is the reason for a higher layout consistency.

Why is better Preview than Acrobat for reading

When you install Acrobat Pro appears a window asking if you want to use it as default reader... SELECT NO!!!! and use Preview.
This is the reason:
Buggy Acrobat Pro (any version) can't handle large pages of PDFs and instead of Preview for Mac OS X that do it excellent because is better.
Try this:
1) Go to http://www.tastyapps.com/ and download Web Snapper and install it in Safari. This application capture any webpage.
2) Go to http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx and select RESULTS PER PAGE 100 to get a large webpage result.
3) Press the SEARCH button.
4) Now you have a large webpage of 100 items of results.
5) Capture this webpage with Web Snapper and create a PDF without pagination.
6) Open it in Preview for Mac OS X and you will see the PDFs Page PERFECT!!!
7) Open the same PDF page in Acrobat Pro... and you will see a BLANK PAGE!!!!
I capture a lot of PDFs and create one ebook using Acrobat Pro... but all with BLANK PAGES!!!
Cheers
Tom

Here may be part of the problem perhaps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
The GMA X3100 found in 2008 MacBook models appears to be incompatible with the software, along with many other models of graphics card. Meaning a large percentage of users aren't technically meant to upgrade anymore, even though Lion will be okay on their systems.
It's bizarre to think I can import and export footage that will remain it's original colour/gamma, but during editing in the preview window [not even in the timeline or event browser thumbnails] it goes virtually grayscale. Every other part of FCPX works perfectly fine, no slowdown or anything.
Pretty disappointing if there is no workaround to this eventually!

Has anyone discovered a better system than itunes for a 3gs. I do not like itunes

I now find the latest itunes overly complicated. I would like a more simplified system for my music and for connecting my ipod touch and iphone to. I would prefer that they stop changing the ios. and just do a simple security update. I want an opt out for updates and toolbars. I also want to never need to sign up to itunes store as for free trade you should connect to anywhere to buy your music. Is there a Spotify app for iphone or download music torrents straight into itunes. These would vastly improve the system. Any comments welcome.

If you would prefer the old look of iTunes, try these...:
CTRL+S put back the sidebar
CTRL+B puts back the top bar menu
CTRL+SHIFT+B puts back the Column Browser
CTRL+/ puts back the total number of songs and file size on the bototm ofg the iTunes window.

Yes, well, hope on. But you can opt out of updates, you always have that choice. Toolbars, I've mentioned.

You are not compelled to use the iTunes Store. You are free to purchase MP3 music from Amazon, among other sites, import it into your iTunes library and put it on your iPod. What makes you think otherwise?

Usually, downloading by torrent means "illegally downloaded music". We will not be discussing that here.

Need better solution than FCPX for audio cleaning

Hi, I have a track for a wedding with a lot of background noise. The settings to improve audio on FCPX are not helping much. What's the bets solution to improve voice and reduce background noise?
Thanks

If Audacity or STP don't handle it for you, seriously consider giving ScreenFlow a try. ScreenFlow has about the best noise reduction I've ever heard from any app I've ever used. You can load the audio (or video+audio) up in SF (create a New Document from the File menu), drag and drop your media into the Media panel, then drag it to the timeline; select the audio track, go to the audio panel (speaker icon) and select: Filter: Remove Background Noise (accept the default setting of 80%) -- that's usually all there is to it! There's a free trial available (http://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm) — it's fully functional except that it watermarks the video output. It will export AIFF audio (LinearPCM 48kHz) and you can export audio only.

Is Muse going to be a better choice than Dreamweaver for my very small company's website?

Very new to Dreamweaver and even newer to MUSE. Which program is going to be easier to help me maintain my companies website?

Really all depends on your needs. Muse will do for most small sites but as soon as your needs reach the requirement of doing anything dynamic or custom code then you are better of with Dreamweaver. Muse is easier if you aren't a coder but along with the ease comes restrictions on what you can and can't do.

New router M1424WR (ver. I) is slower than ver. C for wireless--why?

I installed a new Actiontec MI424WR (ver. I) router, which I bought from Verizon to replace my version C router. The new router is fine for wired connections but slow for wireless. If I set my laptop right next to the router, the speed is fine. If I set the laptop 20 feet away, in a straight line with no obstructions between it and the router, the speed drops by 50-90 percent. Overall, I find the version I router worse than the version C. FYI, the laptop is new, superfast, and has wireless-n. Is it normal to find the version I router slower than version C? I would like to find a solution. Otherwise, I suppose I will have to return the new $100 router. I tried Verizon's chat support, but the tech simply told me that walls etc. can slow down wireless speed--not useful info, given that the version C was running faster under the same conditions here. Are there some special tricks to make the version C router work better? The new router also seems less able to send signals through walls and floors, which should not be the case. I feel disappointed that Verizon pushed the sale of the new router; the upgrade has been a time-consuming downgrade. Thank you.

Try changing the channels on the router. 1, 6, 11. Most likely its set to 6 so try the other 2. You can download a free program called inSSIDer which will help you figure out what the best channel for you to be using is.

Setting up security and such for wireless router wrt54g without admin rights (work computer)

We are moving, I am in a new location with a new company and my only computer is this one from work. Trying to get my home network setup, I'm locked out of admin rights on this thing and am trying to set up the above router. I thought I had a modem problem at first, but finally I am online wired for now to the cable modem. I would like to get this router up and running, but I can't use the easy setup disk, and I just tried using the easy setup download and it is locked out as well. How can I get my router setup with security, with no admin rights on the pc?
This will be my first wireless router, so I am very green on the specifics and terminology. Any help is most appreciated.
Many thanks,

Thank you toomanydonuts!
I will do this when I get back to the townhouse this evening.
Just so that I am prepared for tonight - I want to confirm and ask a few questions on the "options" and note a couple things I noticed that may help with answers...
Internet connection type - should be easy, I assume there is a "cable modem" option.
SSID - I do not know what this means or what to choose
wireless encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2) - Which is best, or is there one I must pick due to computer used and such, I also want to get my Nintendo Wii accessing correctly, I saw these options on that setup, though it didn't work per my first message on the board. I assume whatever encryption method used needs to be chosen for the Wii?
wireless encryption password - I think I can handle this one
A couple of notes -
this laptop has this always on radar looking for wireless connections - how can I name my router so I know it's mine, other than the fact that it is the strongest signal. Maybe that's a network setting?
Thanks again, glad I came here.
Edit: I suppose I should add, just to ensure - in order to do this process through the url provided above, I need to be ethernet wired through the router to the modem? in order to access last night, I was straight into the modem, didn't seem to work wired through the router.

Can not connect All in one 209b to new router for wireless printing....

Have an HP laptop and All in one priner 209b. All was working fine, wired and wireless printing. Then we had to upgrade our ATT Uverse router. Everything works...even wireless laptop and printer when connected to laptop. However, can't get printer to printer wireless since it has the old router info. I used the disk but when it asks to you to pick the printer, I choose the printer but it says printer now found ??? what ???? and this is with the cable connected. I do not have the wizard on the touch screen but I did reset to factory settings hoping it would load new router info but it does not. How do you manually enter router into for wireless printing. Is it best to delete the printer and reinstall as new...wired and then wireless ???

I hooked up new iMac to wireless network and now iPad and iPhone do not work using wireless. I am using a Netgear N300 router. Also my Netgear ethernet/homeplug for wireless TV internet no longer works. Any ideas?
