Can I run 2 wireless networks on the same single internet connection?

I wanted to be able to use only my WRT350N to be able to broadcast "N" out into the yard but because it does not broadcast as far as the WRT54G I will have to settle on plan B.
I want to set up two wireless networks using my WRT54G V1 with a WSB24 and my new WRT350N wireless routers.
My last working setup was:
WRT350N with two 1Gb connections to my desktop computers in ports 1 & 2, my link to the WRT54G in port 3 and my HP printer in port 4. The address was changed to 192.168.1.50 and an encryption key used to secure the connection the N network to my laptop.
WRT54G with only the WSB24 connected to provide an unsecured 802.11g wireless connection. We live in the country and I am not worried about unauthorized access to this.
I have found that I can not make a stable wireless connection from the WRT350N past 50 ft. in the house and can not get a connection from this router out of the house. (hence the reuse of the WRT54G)
Still following?
My older router (WRT54G V1 and WSB24) allowed me to roam our yard out to about 175ft from the antennas with the 3945 Intel wireless adapter that is in my Gateway laptop. When I purchased the WUSB300N adapter for the "N" connection, I am able to get a 17% "G" signal in one of the outer buildings at about 200 ft from the WRT54G and not stable connection from the WRT350N past 50ft.
I was able to run the WRT54G as a gateway after changing its address to 192.168.1.51 and leaving the WRT350N at 192.168.1.50 before I updated the WRT350N to v1.03.6 last night and turned it into a brick.
That is talked about in a different thread.
This setup allowed me to connect to the internet outside of the house with the laptop.
Is there a better way to set this up?
Thanks for your help.

If I understand your request correctly it sounds like you want to create a VLAN, two different logical networks on the same physical network. If that's the case however, it would seem that neither the WRT54G nor the WRT350N supports VLAN, at least not without flashing the firmware on one or both of the devices. If you do choose to pursue flashing the firmware with third-party firmware that supports VLAN you might want to look into DD-WRT, HyperWRT, or some other firmware. Keep in mind flashing with third-party firmware voids your warranty with Linksys.

Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?

Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?
Hi
I have created and published 4 free ibooks and i would to run two widgets
- a countdown clock
- a review test
at the same time on the page. Can i do that?
Thanks in advance
Haris

thanks for your answer. Yes indeed HTML widgets run only full screen (snif snif). I consider this as a "distinguishing treatment".
One solution i read !!!!! was to create through keynote a countdown clock, to export to quicktime move and to imported at iBA predefined widgets. of course this is not the solution i need.
So, in order to have at the same widget and run together a count down clock and a preview test (20 questions) i must
1)"hack" the preview widget and insert a countdown clock
2) create a preview test using iAD.....
thanks again

Can you run indesign cs4 on a laptop without internet connection

I believe that Indesign CS4 checks over the internet before opening. If that is the case can you run it on a laptop without an internet connection?
Thanks

From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
"here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
[Help] files are located in the following location:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
the program itself.*"
I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program

Vista, by the way). "

Can I connect my Mac to two separate wireless networks at the same time?

Need some assistance with some advanced wireless networking please....
Upstairs I have a D-link wireless router connected to the internet and wired to a couple of PCs. Downstairs I have a minimac linked to my hifi via an airport express. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G122 usb wifi dongle.
So I want the mini mac to connect to the airport express on one wireless network (strong signal) and to be able to connect to the internet on another network (weak signal) via the usb wifi /router.
But the airport software and the d-link driver seem to conflict and both try to take control of the two wireless devices.
Is there any way round this to be able to run one mac with two wireless network devices at the same time?
Thanks

While those with more experience may be able to correct me, I'm pretty sure that you can only connect to one wireless network at a time with your Mac Mini, unless D-Link provides their own proprietary software that bypasses the computer's Airport settings.
Using the AirPort hardware you can only connect to a single wireless network at any given time. However in this situation the 2 attempted connections are via USB and AirPort. Therefore this requires nothing special of the AirPort drivers or settings.
It does require that the Mac OS and applications have the capability to use either network connection (USB or AirPort) depending on what data they are trying to get. In general I understand how it is theoretically possible but I have no idea if you can configure OS X to do it.
...I believe one of the options when setting up the Airport Extreme Base Station is that you can extend a wireless network already in place.
True but the D-Link is not compatible with Apple's WDS therefore this is not possible in this situation.
If you have a newer Airport Extreme Base Station with a USB port on it...
FYI, every AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has a USB port.
BTW, birky has indicated that he/she is using an AirPort Express (AX) not an AEBS.

HT2497 Airport is not recognizing my wireless network because my wireless network has the same name as another apartment in my builing. I cannot change the name because my room mate controls it, is there any way I can make it find my wireless network?

It used to be that the other apartment with the same name didn't have theirs password protected so even though only one or the other would show up, I could always get onto one. Now, they have password protected theirs and it seems to be that 100% of the time only theirs shows up which I only can tell because it says "invalid password" when I try to connect to the Internet.
I have asked my room mate to just change the name of the network but she is really slow to do anything about it and I need to be able to get the internet at home and the internet is in her and set up through her computer so I really don't have any way of being the one to just go in and fix it myself.
Is there any other way to make Airport recognize that there are two different networks with the same way so it will find mine? I feel like I have tried everything including mannually typing in the name of my network and typing my password and it still just says "invalid password." I have also double checked that I was typing in the correct password and I am. My room mate is not having any problems accessing the Internet so I know the problem is not with our connection (she also has a Mac, almost the same model as me, I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2011). I am also able to connect to the Internet on my Mac at coffee shops and the library so I know that the problem is not my computer or my wireless connection so I'm pretty sure it is just that Airport is somehow only recognizing one of the two "WLAN" networks
Any help???!

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

How can I run other applications at the same time as downloading email

When I open my computer if I check mail on entourage first and there are 30+ messages I can not use other apps at the same time as the mail is downloading, is there a way to have email operating in the background. Curiously if I am using another application and a mail comes in , the first app runs with mail running in the background , Why is this not the case when Entourage is the first program running and it is downloading mail.

Can I run two PIDs from the same vi?

Hi
I want to control speed of the rotating shaft and force applied by the pneumatic cylinder using two different PIDs from the same program.
I managed to get two PIDs to work separatly using PID control loop VI`s supplied with labview 6.1 (I got Kc, I and D right, so there is no overshoot). When I try to run both PIDs within my vi they don`t work. I again tried various gains and managed to get one PID to work but not the other. Then through trial and error I managed to get a second PID to work but I had to change refresh time of the FOR loop from 100msec to 1msec.
Does anyone have experience with running two PIDs in the same program? Does the timing of the FOR loop influence PID contorller? Does equiring of other data while run
ning PID has effect on the PID?
I would really appreciate any comments/help. I am pretty thrustrated at this time
Thanks"

The timing of the FOR loop will influence your PID control, which is a fundamental part of PID control. Acquiring data doesn't affect the PID although it could affect the timing of the loops. For instance if you only have one DAQ card you would want to have it all in one loop because you can not have two AI sessions open to the same card.
For more detailed information on PID I would recommend reading the "PID Control Toolset
User Manual" which should have been installed to your machine but can also be found at : PID Control Toolset User Manual"

I don't know whcih PID vi's you are using but I had similar problems. I
solved it by going to the VI properties of the PID subvi, select category
execution and make sure that reentrant execution is selected. Only then two
instances of the PID vi can run without interfering each other.

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network at the same time with a second Timecapsule / Extreme ?

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network coming from a Timecapsule with a second Timecapsule / Extreme at the same time?

I am currently extending my 5Ghz network via an Express without any problems, but the Express can only extend either / or. I just want full coverage for both networks in the whole house.
If you can extend 5 GHz now with an AirPort Express and get satisfactory results, then the AirPort Extreme will work to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands in the same location.
However, your computer is going to connect to the band with the strongest signal, so it may....or may not....connect to 5 GHz given a choice of two signals.

Can a HP B210 AIO printer be connected to 2 different wireless networks at the same time?

I live in a household that has 2 different wireless networks in it (both me and my roommate have our own networks) and we just bought a new B210 series AIO printer. The printer detects both of our networks but only will print from one network at a time. If I want to print from my network I have to manually go to the wireless network wizard on the printer and select my network and re-enter my password. Is there any way that I can set up the printer to acknowledge both networks without having to constantly switch back and forth?

WRT110 Can't connect MAC and PC to wireless network at the same time.

I installed a WRT110 router on my son-in-law's MAC sometime back and at the time configured it to have the MAC connected via Ethernet. My PC laptop worked fine with it in the wireless mode. Recently we changed the MAC to wireless newtworking and removed the Ehthernet connection. Now if the MAC connects to the wireless network first and then I attempt to connect with my PC laptop the PC cannot find the network and the MAC loses connection. If I shut my PC down the MAC will not find the network until it is put to sleep and reawakened. If the MAC is put to sleep my PC wil immediately find the network. If I first connect my PC and then awaken the MAC both work fine. I've checked all of the router's setup settings and they seem to be OK. I am not MAC savvy and my son-in-law is a neophyte at computers so we are really helpless when something doesn't work. Help will be appreciated.

I tried this setup change after reading another similar post. It didn't help. One thing I had wrong in the first post is that neither computer will connect to the wireless net after we experience the wireless failures until both are turned off, at least that is what happened after making the suggested changes. Is this a WRT110 issue? Seems there are quite a few posts similar to mine.

Problems connecting 2 computers to wireless network at the same time

Switched to Mac 2 weeks ago and will never go back!!!!!
Having a slight problem with my home wireless network.. I am running Leopard 10.5.1 and my wife has Vista... For some reason we cannot connect to our wireless network unless one of the other computers is on and connected.. Example: I just opened my Macbook and it showed that I was connected.. However, I could not get any access to the internet without first turning my wifes computer on and connecting.. The same happens when my wife tries to get online.. Her laptop will not connect unless mine is connected first.. It is rather strange.. The last one on the internet is the only one with access unless the other computer is connected.. I am not sure if this is a problem with the router or a compatibility issue with Microsoft and Apple.. If anyone could help it would be highly appreciated as it is quite frustrating that when I want to connect to our network I must connect my wifes computer first.. and vice versa for her.. Can anyone help? We use a Belkin wireless router...

For $50 or so you could get a Linksys WRT54G and not have the headaches. It cannot be an issue with the computers so by default it is the router. Get a better one.
A router will be indifferent to a computer connecting unless it is set to reject them with mac filtering, the password is wrong or there is a limit set to only issue one IP address in which case both would not work. The router cannot know XP from OSX, or a mac from Windows as the standard is 802.11 and TCP/Ip not brand specific.

Can device run multiple encryptions at the same time?

I have a G5 at home and I'm considering hooking up a new Airport Extreme to enable wirelsss access from my work laptop (WIN PC). I use a Netgear 54MBPS Wireless PC card WG511 v2 which supports 128bit encryption. Should this work with the mac APE and if so can I also run other encryption modes at the same time in future if needed. I will be connecting the APE to my cable modem and using one of the LAN ports to connect to the G5.

Thanks Don, at this stage I'm only using the Netcomm wireless but maybe in future I might go for the iTV or add another computer.

Can I run two ipods from the same itunes library/account?

I have a 20gb photo colour ipod and have just bought a new 30gb video ipod. I need to know whether I can run them off the same library and itunes account or do I have to have separate user accounts?
Windows XP iTunes 7.0.1.8

Yes, you can.
You can either have multiple user accouts on your computer, or create separate playlists for your two iPods in iTunes.
This should explain how to manage multiple iPods:

Can i run java program in the same way of .exe program?

I am beginner in java and i'd like to know that java program can run in the same of .exe program(double click program icon) , instead of typing "java [class name]" or
choose execute botton from forteCE.
Thank you for your help
[email protected]

You can write a .bat script which launches the java command for you:
@echo off
java <your prog name here>
Then move your .bat file icon wherever you want...

Tip: if you don't want to see the black VM window, try javaw instead of java.
