Can any 3rd party router piggyback to the black sky hub?

Hi all were having the sky fibre unlimited installed next week and today we have received the new Sky hub SR102 the black one in order to use the fibre optic from next week.  I have heard some bad and good reviews about this hub but one common concern i hear of is the wifi recetpion. My dad however uses the same SR102 and gets great reception from it. I have heard however that if i am to face this problem (hopefully not) i cna always buy another router and piggyback it to the sky hub via ethernet to boost the wifi coverage received. Does anyone know if i can use any router to do this with or does it have to have something specific with it being sky fibre im going to be used?. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.

If you was to go down the route of having another router then you will need one that needs an Access Point mode. What this does is turn off the DHCP function (which assigns your devices an IP) and allows devices to connect into it, whilst the SR102 serves the IP addresses. What I would recommend is to invest in a Power over Ethernet Wireless Extender.Plug one adapter into the mains next to your SR102 and connect it to your router via ethernet. Plug the wireless adapter into the mains elsewhere (assuming where wireless is poor) and follow the instructions to connect over the power lines.  Google "PoE Wireless" or "power line wireless extender"

  • Can any 3rd party sensors be used with this system?

    I have several wireless door sensors currently in use with my ADT system that I plan to cancel soon. Is there a way to use these with the gateway?
    Can any 3rd party IP camera be used with the gateway, or only the ones provided on your site?
    Supported or not, just wondering if theses items will work. Thanx ~

    Zwave is a Propiertary standard protocol.
    Both ADT And Verizon are offering us off the shelf zwave devices.
    So we "should" have been able to use any zwave devices.
    But no...
    it appears that Verizon has decided to lock out anything they haven't sold us directly
    (lock out from their gateway).

  • Are there any 3rd party LabVIEW and/or TestStand code analysis tools

    I am looking for any 3rd party tools to analyze LabVIEW and/or TestStand code. Looking for tools that will check for memory leaks, timing, and any other code performance problems. I know LabVIEW has the profiler tool, but I am looking for 3rd party tools.

    Hi wbolton,
    I am personally not aware of any 3rd party tools that do the same thing as the Profiler, but I can say that if you'd like to analyze a .VI or .seq file, the most straightforward way to do so would be with the appropriate National Instruments software.

  • I have a PVR which supports DLNA connected to my home network.  I want to access files on my MacBook from the PVR.  I understand that my MacBook doesn't support DLNA. Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please.
    I have a Personal Video Recorder (Humax HDR-1010S), which supports DLNA, connected to my home network via Wi-Fi. 
    I want to play music from iTunes and view photos from iPhoto from my MacBook (which is also connected to the home network) via the PVR / TV / Home Cinema sound system.  I understand that my MacBook (running OS X Mavericks) doesn't support DLNA server.
    Is there any 3rd party  software that I can install on my MacBook to provide DLNA server?
    Thanks,

    My recollection is that the iPhoto library has some fairly robust protections to prevent inadvertent or even deliberate changes being made that might have unwanted consequences. I'll take alook at my setup and let you know if I can see anything that might help you. Even if you get Serviio to "see" the iPhoto library, it almost ceratinly won't show the album structure and names. What I did is to export each iPhoto album to a standard folder with the appropriate folder name. These I keep on an external backup disc and Serviio can see these without trouble.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • Are there any 3rd Party Cloud Application Readiness Assessment tools in the market today?

    I have couple of interrelated questions here:
    1
    Are there any 3rd party tools, which do Cloud Readiness  Assessments for on-premises Applications. I am looking for names of any such tools, if they exist, which thoroughly analyse on-premises applications, and generate detailed reports on whether the
    application is ready for moving to the cloud (and why?), or if it needs some changes before moving (which changes?), or if the application needs major changes (which?) or cannot be move to cloud in its present form. The cloud here could be Azure (1st pref)
    or AWS (2nd pref).
    2
    From the tools named in response to above questions, which are the ones which can be used for doing applications assessments for a large number of on-premises apps in most efficient way? Do such tools actually exist? Imagine scenario that an enterprise customer
    comes to me and asks that they want to check the cloud readiness for 3000 applications in shortest possible time - What tool will you recommend for such massive assessments?
    Thanks, LH

    After upgrading to OS Mavericks, I realized that the Partition for Windows is gone. I have really important data on this drive without a back up. Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

    You are not addressing Apple here, we are users just like yourself, therefore unless someone from India is reading this and can recommend one, we would not know of any reputable third party service centres, I would advise you google them.

    First check your Firewall is not blocking SSL port 443.

  • Use express as a wifi extension wirelessly with 3rd party router

    Hello,
    I've just purchased an Airport Express. I want to use it to extend the wifi range to upstairs of my Virgin Media Superhub (downstairs).
    I have read that you need to connect the two together with an ethernet cable if using a 3rd party router (not Airport Extreme or Time Capsule). I have connected the AE it to my macbook pro via airport utility wirelessly (without an ethernet cable) and the light is green and the signal seems to have slightly extended. So it seems to have worked for my MBP.
    The problem is when I use it with my iPhone 5, despite showing up on the airport utility app, when I go close to the Airport express (upstairs) it doesn't improve the wifi signal at all and sometinmes lose signal completely. The airplay also works with my MBP but cuts out with the iPhone.
    Is it possible to connect it wirelessly like I have done or have I just been tricked into thinking the signal has improved?
    I'm currently running OS 10.8.5 on MBP and iOS 7 on the iphone 5.
    I've tried to articulate this easily and I'm sure someone has already asked this but any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The trick would be to locate the Express where you need more wireless signal coverage and connect it back to the SuperHub using an Ethernet cable.
    You can run an Ethernet cable up to 330 feet or 100 meters with no signal loss.
    If you cannot run an Ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the AC powerlines in your home. The theory here is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
    Any computer/electronics superstore will have a selection of powerline devices on hand from which to choose.
    I doubt that you would notice any improvement at all if you located the Expess close the SuperHub, and it might actually interfere with the signal from the SuperHub, so that location would not be recommended.

  • Are there any 3rd party tools which provide Microsoft Azure IaaS diagnostics?

    Are there any 3rd party tools currently, which can be used for giving detailed diagnostics Information about the IaaS environment (like on VM's, Virtual Network etc.) in a detailed report format periodically? Please note that I am looking for any such tools

    Hi Bahree,
    Microsoft does not suggest  a specific third-party product. However, we do use them, and see lots of other customers use them.
    Paraleap: Monitoring tool - http://www.paraleap.com/AzureWatch , You may browse to these site and few others to learn more, and chat with their folks directly on how they support Windows Azure.
    I see that Microsoft has published a self-help diagnostic package for running Windows-based virtual machines (VMs) in Azure IaaS and this this diagnostic package does not require opening a Support Request with
    Microsoft
    This package helps to diagnose and resolve common issues on running Windows-based VMs in Azure IaaS

  • Are there any 3rd Party metric tools that does metrics on who access pages?

    Hello Gurus,
    Are there any 3rd Party metric tools that does metrics on who access iviews?
    I am inquiring on a tool that we can determine how useful the iview(s) to
    the users community.
    I understand that SAP has an ADC project.  But we are also interested if there
    are ant 3rd Party tool that can aggregate the ADC flat file contents and summarize
    the data.  Additionally, if the 3rd Party has out-of-the box reportable iviews.
    We are also open to suggestions of 3rd Party tools that can capture user's iview
    metrics without using ADC flat files.
    And finally, my wish list: is there is a 3rd party tool that can capture when users'
    clicks in the iview.  That is the ultimate metric to absolutely know if the iview is
    useful to the user community.
    Thanks,

  • Any 3rd party utilities that fix full screen mode for multi-monitor users?

    I am a multi-monitor user.  As multi-monitor users know, full screen mode is basically useless since if you try to go full screen on one monitor, it causes the other monitor to go blank and become unusable (at least with most programs).  Are there any 3rd party utitilities or fixes for this?
    Thanks

    Spaces, which is what this functionality stems from, was limited in that it used your entire setup and switched all of the screens over; space to space. I never used spaces because I always had multiple monitors and I was always working with multiple apps simultaneously that I wanted to be able to reference while working on the others.
    Now they call Spaces, "mission control" and changed the appearance of it, but the functionality remained the same, each workstation comprised all of your monitors, and would switch over all of them when switching to a new "Desktop".
    Fullscreen apps wrongly assumes that it can take the functionality of the afformentioned MS/Spaces and use it for one app, negating the whole idea of why someone would have multiple screens (real estate to work with other applications).
    If they stop considering multiple monitors as one Workspace, they can then make it so they are asynchronous "tablets" instead of one conjoined entity.
    So, you say people have been asking about this for 2 years, I've been asking for this for 5!
    The issue here is, the only answer is to not use it. Making Mission Control and Fullscreen apps completely ignored by people like us, where I could be using both functions to glide around my work station and three monitors, mixing and matching which apps I want to be viewed on each separate monitor, to perform one single task; together.
    It would actually reward people who wanted to utilize Thunderbolt technology and have more then one monitor.
    There is no telling why apple chose to push out something that would only support the casual user, with one display, but the only direct way to let apple know that we feel limited by the OS is to send feedback. Even though it seems that we are powerless in this situation, I hope that they do consider how to make this function better.

  • 3rd Party Router and an iMac with Airport card

    Could someone assist me in setting up an older flat panel iMac 800Mhz with a airport card to a 3rd party router (Speedport W 500V). It was really easy to set up the DSL etc when connecting to an Airport Extreme base station, however I have upgraded and trying to get conencted at my parents place, which have DSL but with the Speedport W 500V modem/wireless combo - any assistance to get the two connected would be appreciated.

    Is there a SW tool similar to the Airport Admin
    Utility which will allow setting and management of
    the third party router?
    There may be (probably Windows only) or you need to use a web based configurator. It will depend on what the manufacturer of your router provides.
    The manual which came with the router (it may be in electronic form) should provide guidance on how to configure the router via a browser.
