Can ATV "create" WiFi network

Gents
I'm thinking of getting an ATV and I'm wondering if it is capable of creating a WiFi network? Currently my modem plugs into an AX (via ethernet switch) which creates my home WiFi. The AX has optical out to AV receiver. As I effectively won't need the AX for audio duties, can I drop it altogether and use ATV as my Wifi hub?

the appletv is not a router/hub or wifi extender.
it is a client device and requires you to connect it to your existing network.

Can't share my Internet connection - Can't create Wifi network

Hi!
I'm struggling to get my Mac Mini A1176 with 10.7 to create a Wifi hotspot. When I try, either through Internet Sharing or by manually choosing create network, it says "can't connect", and fails to create the hotspot.
The only strange thing I can find, is that when I get the screen where I can choose network name, channel and security, channel is blank. I can't choose channel, the only option is the sign: -
Anyone else seen this? Doesn't the A1176 support Adhoc networks?

It's actually even easier than that....
I never had to create an adhoc network.

Can t create wifi hotspot

Before update to mavericks, sometimes can't create wifi hotspot on my macbook pro 2010 MID . It solved by turn on and turn off wifi few times.
After update to mavericks , the only way to solve it was reboot.
Anyone had a similar problem? THANKS

Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?

I don't have DSL or any type of broadband - still using dial up.
If I buy an Airport Express can I configure it to wirelessly print and stream music or do I need a wireless network in the background to make this work ?

Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?
Yes
If you also want internet access at the same time you will need to tweak things a bit.

Can't create Local Network Users in Yosemite

I can't create Local Network Users (or change passwords)
Logged on to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 as directory administrator
When I try to create a new user (press the [+], fill in the form), it brings up the message:
existing connection is not authenticated or secure: password change denied
I suspect this is emblematic of other issues. I can authenticate for Mail and SMB, but not for AFP or Xcode

So I had this problem last night as well when I upgraded my 10.9.5 OD master to 10.10.
Two obvious problems after that upgrade:
1) Could not add a new Local Network User
2) Existing users could not connect via AFP (but could via SMB)
Through a series of trial and error (and with two Apple Support people...), we found that the following actions seemed to help fix some (but not all) of the problems.:
Problem #2 seemed to initially be fixed by archiving the OD Master, destroying the OD Master and then reimporting from the archive. I archived from the upgraded 10.10, but should probably have tried restoring my 10.9.5 archive (which may end up being why I still have some problems...)
Problem #1 seemed to be solved when I used WorkGroup Manager to reset the password on the Directory Administrator account I use (I also blew out all references to that account from the Keychain, so everything reprompted me to add that password
However, we think the root cause of this might have been that in /var/db/openldap/migration, the following "dot" files were still present after the upgrade
fs:migration root# ls -la
total 6308816
drwx------ 10 root wheel         340 Oct 30 18:59 .
drwxr-xr-x   6 root wheel         204 Oct 30 18:57 ..

-rw-------   1 root wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .enableODProxyd
-rw-------   1 root wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .rekerberize
-rw-------   1 root wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .updateLocales

-rw-r--r--   1 root wheel 3228537344 Oct 30 18:59 oldsystem.tar
Those 4 .dot files were *not* present in that directory on the two other test OD Master servers that I upgraded without issue.
So we removed them and after having done all the above as well -- I can now add users to the server.   The OD engineer I talked to thought that the presence of those .dot files may have been triggering something to rerun every time PasswordService launched.
When all was said and done, I was then able to "kinit <mydiradminaccount>" correctly and get a "klist" without issue.
ALL THAT SAID: As of this morning, *some* (most? I don't know yet) of my existing OD user accounts are able to successfully log into the server.   A couple of them (so far) are reporting that their account is "disabled" (which is different from the "shaking"/can't-log-in behavior) -- but they can still log in via SMB -- so I think there was still a problem migrating OD accounts in the upgrade process.
AND -- I noticed that -- in Server 4.0 -- "change password" is greyed out, so I have to use WorkGroup Manager to change server account passwords.
Whee...

That must be frustrating.
Well, be sure to write back with any technical support issues you have.

How can i create wifi hotspot with WPA for windows laptops?

I using Macbook with Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I can't create a wifi network with WPA Protected Access. I can create with 40bit protection access but i can't with windows..

No, not unless Apple introduce it for the iPad 2 in a future iOS update - but until if/when that happens you won't be able to use it as a personal hotspot.

Computer created wifi network issue

I am trying to get wifi to work on my iphone using a mac-mini created computer-to-computer network. The mini is the only thing using an internet connection in the house, so I do not have a wireless router, just a cable modem plugged into the mini. Realizing that I need wifi to do a few things that i would like to do with my iphone (use the remote app, browse itunes store, etc.) i created a network from the computer and joined it on the iphone. The iphone says it is connected to the new network, but seems to only use 3g on safari and other apps - anything using wifi does not see a connection.
Is the problem based on my created network or am I another one of the seemingly endless amount of people with wifi problems?

I didn't realize that the problem has been solved already, i didn't see the other posts. never mind this then. sorry.
Hi there,
You don't have a problem or anything, there is just a setting that you need to turn on so that you can get the internet working on your iphone through the wireless network.
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on Sharing (under Internet & Network)
3. Click on Internet Sharing on the left hand side
4. Make sure that you choose "Ethernet" from the drop-down menu for "Share your connection from:"
5. Then check "Airport" in the box below.
6. Check the "Internet Sharing" box on the left hand side, and you are ready to go.
Optional
6. If you want, you can set a password for you wireless network from the "Airport Options" button.
I hope that helps!

Can see the wifi network but can't connect to the internet

Hi all!
I've begun using a new ISP a few days ago, and while my desktop pc works just fine (ethernet), I seemed not to be able to connect to internet with my mac (either ethernet or wifi) even if I could see the wireless network. I thought it was an issue with the ISP and not with my mac, until last night when I tested it at a friend's house and bling..I couldn't connect there either!
All seetings seem fine both for ethernet and airport. Today I've verified and repaired disk and permissions. I've also created a location specifically for this network (while I've always used automatic before) since the ISP suggested to do so.
I've been able to use the internet, both wifi and ethernet, until literally two days ago on all sorts of different wifi networks.
Any ideas folks?
Thanks,
D

Hi! It's been a while but here's the latest update on the case.
(And yeah,I've been struggling until today to find a solution...Danny's personal advice: don't move to Italy if you don't wanna get lost in a Customer Service nightmare...)
Anyhow, it turned out to be as simple as this:
1) Create a location dedicated to the home network.
2) Insert PPPoE user name and password given by ISP.
3) Connect.
4) Browse wirelessly.
...I feel a little dumb overlooking this option....but, I still have some doubts reg the procedure.
Why did I have to create a dedicated location?
Why do I have to use PPPoE rather than DHCP?
Thanks mate,
D

Windows can't create a network map/appearance of B...

Hi
I have had BT infinity for somewhat over a month now without any problems, until yesterday. That I am aware of two things have changed but in what order they changed I do not know.
'Firstly' I connected a brand new but several years old i.e. unused, LG 1T network drive and tried to get through the software installation process without success (can't create acceptable login details ). However I could see etc. the drive if I typed its network address into a browser's address window. BUT at that point the Windows network map started breaking. That was yesterday and I have, for the moment, removed the drive and deleted its info from the Homehub 5b.
Today I noticed that two new wireless networks have appeared, BTWifi-X and BTWifi-with-Fon. These appear and disappear as and when my homehub is switched on and off and, given what I have read, I assume these are the hotspot networks I am providing.
If I have my laptop connected to the homehub via LAN, Windows can create a network map providing no other computer is connected via WAN. Conversely when any computer is simultaneously connected to the homehub via WAN Windows loses the ability to create a network map, this includes the situation where one computer is connected via WAN and LAN. I often use my employer's WAN when at work and frequently forget to switch the WAN off, meaning that when I come home the laptop is initially often connected via WAN and LAN. That I am aware of, Windows has not previously had a problem creating a network map when this has happened.
There does not seem to be a problem if my phone (android) is connected to the homehub via WAN or if I have two computers connected to the homehub via only WAN nor if two computers are connected to the home hub via only LAN
One other thing I have also noticed is that the network map, when created, seems to contain, at times, a switch, a hub, Homehub5 and BThub5**** as if there a multitude of connectors.
I would like to get back the ability for windows to create network maps whatever connections are made.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You seem to be using WAN to mean a Wireless connection when it means something else. Is this correct.
Your HH 5 B should provide a better network map than windows. Do you know how to log into your Home Hub Manager to get this and other information ?
Have you set up your HH 5 B as recommended in this forum ?

Can't get WiFi network printing

hey there all,
i recently swapped out my AXg base station for the new AEBSn. i have 2 H-P printers; 1 an HP Photosmart(circa late 2006) directly connected to my DP G5. the other, a PSC(circa mid 2004) was connected to my AXg. my problem is that now w/ the PSC connnected to the AEBSn USB port, it acts as though it is connecting & starting to print, but it does 1 line then quits. i've done all the things suggested in the Airport help as well as from H-P's website.
i've dl'd & reinstalled the driver, turned things off/on, unplugged/re-plugged all to no avail. so far i can get printing from 2 of my other Macs(a MacBook & a 17" iMac CD) from the PSC, but only by having the PSC printer connected via USB through a hub to the DP G5 & used as a shared printer, but neither can see/connect to the Photosmart even though it appear as option in the Print Dialog. i need to have the Photosmart as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 & the PSC as the AEBS/WiFi network printer. this is the way things were setup w/ the AXg, but if they were even reveresd, w/ the Photosmart as the WiFi network printer & the PSC as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 that would work. also, i can not get the other Macs on my network to connect to the Photosmart to print & i can't get my 17" iMac G4 to connect to either printer. i'll keep plugging away w/ trying the "Help" in the meantime as i really need to be able to print to @ least 1 printer from all the Macs. anyone w/ more thoughts or ideas than those available in Airport Help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have two HP photosmart printers, 7700 and 7900 series. They both worked before over the old airport extreme. Now, neither work over the new airport extreme. They act like the are starting to print and then stop. Can someone resolve this problem. They main reason I upgraded was to support multiple printers on the network. Now I don't even have one.

Satellite P100-221 - How can I access WiFi networks?

I have a P100-221.
I want to access WiFi networks.
I dont know how to do it. Which driver should I install?
Any help please?
Regards
Nevzat

Hello
If Windows recognize a WiFi network you can access and normally you will need a password. If you know this, you have access to the network.
Furthermore WLAN must be enabled with the WiFi switch on the notebook and by pressing FN+F8.
For this its not necessary to install a driver but if you need a driver you can find it on the Toshiba website.
I think you should look in the user manual. There you can a lot of informations about your notebook and informations how to access to a WiFi networks.
Sometimes its very useful the user manual.

Is there a limit to how many times you can extend a WiFi Network?

I assume there is a limit based on the number of IPs available but is there a limit to how many times a WiFi network can be extended or is there a limit to how many Airport Extremes can talk to each other?
I know this probably not a concern of the average home user but if you wanted to deploy these in a large building or even a very large piece of property, what's the upper limit?
I already have 3 Airport (n) routers and I was thinking of adding two more. Will i hit a physical limit or just a point of diminishing returns?

Can you clerify by what you mean when you say "remotes" sorry for my ignorance. but just trying to understand.
A remote WDS node is connected to a main or base WDS node wirelessly.
A base WDS node is connected by wire to the interenet.
A relay WDS node relays or passes the wireless signal from a base WDS node to a remote WDS node.
Clients connect to either the base or remote nodes. A relay node can be configured to accept connections from clients as well.
Also This reduction in half is this a limitation be design? Is this caused by the limit in channels or is there some sort or mechanism in place? just curious.
Think about how the remote WDS node needs to communicate with both the base station and the wireless client at the same time, so the available bandwidth is effectively halved as half is used by the remote to connect with the client and the other half is used to connect with the base node.
It's not quite the same as two wireless clients on an individual base station as they would rarely be using the full bandwidth at the same time.

All of the sudden can't join wifi networks

All of the sudden this morning I can't join any wifi networks, it always gives me the "Unable to Join the network "network name" error message.
I tried a soft reset, then did a complete Iphone restore with no luck.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Hi again,
Mine's fixed. Here's what I did:
- In Mail go to Preferences > Accounts > Advanced Behaviors
- At the bottom of those options, under "Trash" uncheck the box for "Move deleted messages to the trash mailbox" (I have multiple accounts and did this for each one, whether it was an active account or not.)
- Close Preferences and check mail. Delete a few items you couldn't delete before.
- Under the Trash mailbox icon on the left, I deleted the Trash mailbox called "On My Mac" because it was the one generating the error.
- Go back to preferences and re-check that box you just unchecked for "Move deleted messages"
Fixed. I'm sure all these steps weren't necessary, but wanted to share it just as I did it. Hope this helps.
