Can I create a large network with 2 WRT900N routers & 2 live ethernet ports 80 ft apart.

I have a main cable modem in the cellar and from there it splits with one LAN line going to one end of the house and the other LAN going to the other. I have two wireless routers (WRT900N). Yes, I know I can connect one WRT900N to another WRT900N through their LAN ports. That being said, can't I do this some other way? It would make sense that with two live LAN CAT-5 plug-ins, two top end routers, that I should be able to do it. That being said, the only feedback I am getting is to go and return one of the routers and buy a couple of access points (although the reviews on the WRT900N repeaters are not so flattering) but this does not make any sense to me. thanks for anyone's help!

Are you sure that it is WRT900N ??
I think it is WRT600N !!

  • Can I create an extended network with a brand new TC and 2 first gen. AE units?

    I purchased a TC 2TB yesterday and replaced my non apple router with the TC. I have 2 older AE units that I suspect to be first generation. TC is in basement and I have placed AE in garage where I spend most of my time. Signal in garage is weak and lags. Air tunes off of AE in garage connected to boom box works fine. I run AirTunes from 3 iPhones, iPod touch, and 2 iPads with no problems. The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old? I don't want to create a WDS network and sacrifice the bandwidth. My main machine is an iMac 27 that is one year old, this is in the kitchen pretty much midway between the TC and the AE in the garage, if that makes any difference?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old?
    Please take a look at the faint print on the side of both AirPort Express (AX) devices that you have to identify the Model No.
    You will need # A 1264 to do what you want. If you have # A 1084 or similar, the devices that you have are not compatible with the "extend a wireless network" setup.
    What are your findings?

  • Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

    can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
    So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

    You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network. 

  • Can't create a wireless network without a wireless card on my Mac

    Help!
    O.k. I tried searching the forums for an answer but the odd nature of my problem, and the immense database of topics made it very difficult to find a similar post.
    The general issue/idea:
    Run a wireless network using Airport Extreme - Connect desktop mac via ethernet and Roku player via wi-fi. Can't get the desktop mac to connect via ethernet when I restart the network/Airport Extreme.
    My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem. It does NOT have an Airport or Airport Extreme card installed. The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
    I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?), connect the desktop Mac to the network via Ethernet (I shouldn't need an Airport Card to do that, should I?) and connect a 'Roku Player (802.11g capable) to the network via wi-fi.
    As far as I know, this should be possible.
    Basic steps/as I understand them:
    A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
    B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
    C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
    D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
    E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
    I have no problems with A & B. Once the AE is connected to the desktop Mac, I'm able to get internet via ethernet as it passes through the AE. I can then create a wireless network (step C.) using the Airport Utility (and setup assistant). The problem starts after I've configured the wireless network.
    Once I've configured the wireless network, the Airport Utility software prompts me to restart the AE in order to start the wireless network.
    As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless. It's connected via ethernet, works fine during configuration, and I don't ever anticipate a desire to connect the desktop via wi-fi.
    No matter what I do, I can't get the desktop to connect via ethernet. The only network connection option I'm offered is 'Rescan'. O.k. the desktop can't find the wireless network (because it doesn't have a wireless card), and I'm unable to continue with the Airport Utility. I can't make any further changes to the network (the options to manually change the network configuration are not available as the desktop Mac cannot currently talk to the AE - It's still trying to connect wirelessly), and the desktop has no internet connection as it's trying to connect wirelessly.
    *How can I...*
    *Setup/run a wireless network, while keeping the desktop Mac connected via ethernet?*
    I'm perfectly willing to factory reset the AE and start over.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thwarted by the network.

    My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem. It does NOT have an Airport or Airport Extreme card installed. The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
    That is correct, you could connect the PowerMac G5, via Ethernet, to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or any other wired router for Internet access. You do NOT need an AirPort Card for wired access ... ONLY if you want the G5 to connect to a wireless network.
    I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?)
    That is correct, the AEBS is a wireless router that can provide a wireless network. The AirPort Card, on the other hand is a wireless adapter used to allow a Mac to connect to a wireless network, created by any wireless router ... not just those provided by Apple.
    As far as I know, this should be possible.
    Basic steps/as I understand them:
    A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
    B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
    C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
    D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
    E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
    Yes, these are all good assumptions.
    As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless.
    Do you actually have an AirPort Card installed in the G5 now? If so, then it might be possible that the "firing order" for network connectivity has AirPort at the top of the list under System Preferences > Network. Just change the order to have Ethernet at the top and disable AirPort to ensure that the G5 connects by Ethernet only.

  • Creating a large catalogue with InDesign CC

    I am attempting to create a large catalogue with Adobe InDesign CC, and presume that the data-merge function is the way to do this? If i use the data merge function, will the template I create adjust to varying amounts of data within the data file - eg some items will take up a quarter of a page, other items may take up a full page. Also, if I use the data merge function, can I manipulate the data manually afterwards - eg for mistakes, alignments, etc? Thanks

    How large is large?
    You can use data merge. I would be tempted to run it one record per page and run one of the scripts that will connect each frame to flow into each other. Then make the needed frame adjustments on each page. Not as onerous as it sounds. A script can be had on this site:
    http://www.loicaigon.com/en/solutions-en/downloads/
    Like Gert writes, edits in the merge file will require a new merge unless you purchase one of the commercial plug-ins.
    Set up paragraph and character styles in a sample of the data so when laying out for the merge you can handle most all (or all) of the styles you need.
    If you want a healthy learning curve, and you can obtain the data as an XML file, you can also go that route. Same procedure, make a smaller XML file, create the needed styles, map them and import the XML. Your frames will be whole page already and the data will flow from frame to frame without "stitching" the frames back together.

  • How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
    I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
    There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!
    lennydas

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

    You need an iTunes card.
    You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
    I found this in the iTunes help menu.
    Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
    If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
    You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
    Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
    I don't see any mention of App Store cards.

  • HT204088 I can't create an apple ID for not using credit card. How can i create an apple ID with no credit cards ? Thank you.

    I read the supporting article. But those pictures were old. Also the format had changed. I can't create an Apple ID with no credit cards? I got no credit cards. I am just a secondary student and how can I have a credit card?

    Follow the instructions on this page exactly : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 i.e. select a free app and click on 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it (it worked for me yesterday).

  • How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.
    -John
