Cable and adapters to extend antenna for wireless router....PLEASE!!!

Hello all; I have a linksys wireless-G router as a reciever, and one as a webcam sender. The sender unit is behind a big building, and the signal can't get to the receiving unit.
So, I figured I would just extend the antenna to the edge of the building (25 ft) and solve the problem. BUT....I can't find the adapters at Radio Shack to fit the antenna jacks on the router!!!!!
Can anyone direct me to the right place to buy these.....
Plus, does anyone have this same experience?
thanks

Maybe, under normal circumstances if you are using compatible equipment.

Not all 3rd party wireless Routers are WDS capable.
Here is a list that will work.

I want to extend my existing wireless router by using the AirPort Express for my Smart TV. Can I just plug in the AirPort halfway between the router and the Smart TV and have no direct connection to a computer or the TV, or do I need to plug in next to the TV and somehow connect the AirPort to the TV (ethernet)?

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software? If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

My Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

my Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Where did you get the phone?
That phone was replaced by Apple or an AASP and was not returned to Apple as it should have been, or it was stolen from Apple or somewhere in the supply chain.
You can not get support from Apple for that phone.
Return it to wherever you got it and get your money back.

Antenna for Wireless N

Is there any way to check if I can add an Omni-directional antenna to my Wireless-N router before I buy it. Secondly i can only get 130 Mbps at max with the N card i bought for my desktop PC. yes the card is linksys but I still only get 130 Mbps when I have a clear line of site and am sitting 5 feet from the router.

Hi the N routers and Adapters work on MIMO technology. With these devices you get higher speed at higher distance. So if you get 130 Mbps at 5 feet you should get far better than that at higher distance. I don’t think you can remove the antennas on this router.

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.

New iPod nano, comes with a USB cable and CLIP? Whats it for?

My new ipod 2gb nano comes with a usb cable and a little clip or stand type thing that the nano can sit in and at the bottom has a hole that the usb wire sort of fits through but it isn't made to sit on the desk, its more like a clip of something, any ideas what this is or how to use it?

The extra piece is the adapter for the Universal Dock. The dock has a well in it and there's an adapter for each size of iPod that goes into it.

I have a late 2008 MacBook I would like to watch movies on my tv from. I bought the HDMI cables and the one to use for audio also but I still don't get any sound. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

AE setup for wireless router and streaming music

I'm attempting to setup my AE base station as a wireless router and use it to stream itunes through a home stereo. I'm using a new Dell Inspriron w/internal wireless card. It is detecting other wireless networks but not seeing the AE base station (which is flashing yellow even after resetting). Any input as to what I am missing?

Hi.
I am accessing internet thru a wireless router, and it works great. Plugin AE (setup to run on the same network) and the internet gets so slow it ceases to function though I still have a valid IP. When AE is plugged in though, iTunes recognizes the speakers connected, but when I try to select them, it says 'connecting' and the program stops responding. Oh yeah, it's iTunes 5.
I've used my AE in hotels and shops where I've plugged it into an ethernet cable and the internet has worked automatically. I take it home and it stops. Try to play some music over it and it doesn't work either. What gives.
Anybody have any ideas? I'd love some help.
thanks.

G5 OS 10.4 and G3 OS 8.6 to wireless router?

My main internet machine is my G5, but I also connect quite frequently with my G3 which runs various legacy OS 8.6 software.
For ease of use, I'd like to connect them both to a wireless router, but never having owned one before I'm unsure on a couple of points...
1) Will the mix of 10.4 and 8.6 create problems with them sharing a router?
2) Will the G3 need driver software for whichever router I choose?
3) What hardware options are there for wireless on a B/W G3? I see the original Airport cards are a bit pricy on eBay - am I right in assuming this means there is a lack of alternatives?
( I'm also considering connecting the G3 via an ethernet cable... )

1) Will the mix of 10.4 and 8.6 create problems with them sharing a router?
No
2) Will the G3 need driver software for whichever router I choose?
No
3) What hardware options are there for wireless on a B/W G3? I see the original Airport cards are a bit pricy on eBay - am I right in assuming this means there is a lack of alternatives?
The B&W G3 does NOT have an internal wireless slot for the AirPort card. The best solution is an Ethernet wireless adapter. These require no drivers and will work with any Ethernet device. Examples of Ethernet wireless adapters are the Linksys WET11, Linksys WET54G, and the Buffalo Technology WLI-TX4-G54HP bridge.

Best Location for Wireless Router in 2 Story House

Hello. There was a similar post to this before, but it didn't quite address my concern. I live in a two story house. The router is currently placed in one half of the first floor. I am connected to with my dekstop wirelessly via an extended-range usb adapter. Everything else held equal, is it better to place the router in the highest location possible? In other words, am I more likely to get better reception anywhere in the house if I place the router upstairs (and as close to the center of the house as possible)? Most of the people in my house use their laptops downstairs while I am stuck upstairs with my desktop and wireless adapter getting a decent but not entirely desirable connection (it was very low and would turn off randomly, but I changed the router channel to 11 and now it seems to be consistent but at around 3 to 4 out of what seems to be 10 bars. Ideally, since I like to game and desire the highest speed, I would set up the router via ethernet to my pc upstairs while putting it in a location that will not severely limit the connection downstairs... that is why I ask if it is better to have the router upstairs; if it is, then I will have all the justification I need to try to reposition it.
Also, as something of a more techinical question. How does the radio broadcast from the wireless routers work? Does the signal shoot up and out from the antenna tips? Can it shoot down? Even if it shoots up, is it still better to have it in a higher location?
Sorry for the rambling, but I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

Your router will broadcast the signals in all directions(not just upstair or downstairs)...You should place your router in the center of your house...
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna (if external) should be vertical...

Cable and adapters to extend antenna for wireless router....PLEASE!!!
