Can I setup "Roaming" and "Extended Network" on the same device?

I have 2 buildings that need wifi coverage.  In the main building, I have 2 Apple Airport Extremes.  I have one as the main router.  The 2nd has a network cable from the 1st unit and is setup as "Roaming".  I would like to add "Extended Network" (wireless) function to the 2nd unit.  Then I would place a 3 Airport Extreme at the 2nd building.  I have signal at the 2nd building, but I would like it to be stronger. 
Can I setup an Airport Extreme with Roaming and Extended Network functions and if so, how would I do it.
Thank you.

Yes, that should be no problem.
Windows 7 uses 5.6 airport utility.. what model extreme are you setting up??
But it is relatively simple.. you do not need to generally do anything now for the AE setup for roaming..
On the one you will extend, simply plug it into a computer.. run the airport utility.. go to the wireless tab and put in the extend wireless with the name and security of the wireless you are extending.

    I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

    First restart your mac and try again.
    It could be
    that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
    You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
    Open Wireless Diagnostics
    enter your user password
    Press CMD 4 then Scan
    You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
    Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
    Set 5Ghz to auto
    Update the TC
    Try again

  • Can I be connected to two networks at the same time?

    Hi there
    I have an imac desktop with 10.5.8 running. I have a wireless network with my timecapsule and a printer connected to it. We have two mac computers in the house
    that print wirelessly via this network. I also have the internet coming in via a wireless modem/wifi which both computers use to go online. The trouble is everytime I want to print from either computer I have to change back and forth from the internet/network to the timecapsule/printer network. This is really fumbly and I wind up having to restart all the time because the printer gets locked up. It's just a big hassle. Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
    Thanks!

    Is there any way I can be on both of these networks at the same time or is there some other way I can configure this?
    Yes, you can reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) to "Join a wireless network." In this case the wireless network would be the one created by the other wireless Internet router. In this configuration, the TC can still share its internal (and external) hard drive and a printer attached to the USB port. However, note that this would disable the TC as a router and an Ethernet switch so basically it will perform as a wireless client.

  • Mixing public and private networks on the same switch

    Hello Everyone,
    I know this may get some security engineers in frenzy but wanted to know if there is a safe way to mix public and private networks on the same switch. 
    We have many remote offices that we want to add public wifi and a couple of other services that would be completely outside of our internal network.  Each office has a 3750 with plenty of open ports.  How can I safely create a vlan for public access on these switches which currently have our internal network on.  I have read that people are doing this to save on the cost of purchasing a dedicated switch.  Some people are using access lists and one person mentioned creating a private vlan for the public network.  I looked up private vlan and it seemed bit confusing.
    Is this recommended?  If not what would be the safest way to do this?
    Thanks Everyone

    How "safe" is relative.  If your running just one VLAN on a switch, that's would be the safest (basically the same as mixing traffic on the same wire - separation is done else where).
    If you multiple VLANs on a switch, then you need to determine how likely someone might figure out a way to breach the VLAN barriers.  (This isn't so easy on newer switches.)  If the VLAN isolation is breeched, then you need to examine what does that imply from a security perspective (for example can someone now inject or receive other VLAN traffic).
    For most purposes, I don't see mixing public and private VLANs, alone, on the same switch as much of a risk.  More of a concern is what can be reached on either VLAN and how well it's protected.

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • Can I Edit SD and HDV footage at the same time in CS4?

    I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder and I'm looking at buying a Sony HDR-HC# HDV 1080i camcorder to use as a second camera on video shoots.  Can I edit footage from both cameras on the same timeline in CS4?    I'm using a PC, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with an Intel (R) Pentium (R) 2.80 GB processor with 2.5 GB of RAM.  Thanks!
    Lewis B.

    Do you already have CS4 ?
    CS5 is days away.  9 Days for the first look.
    I have a Windows XP 2005 with 3.4GHz with 4GB of ram and it cant handle HDV for HD video.
    I have a Sony HVR Z1U and use the in camera down-rez and edit in SD just fine.
    Like said before you really need a new computer to edit the HDV but if your going to DVD then your only using SD anyway.
    But to answer you question you can mix formats with CS4.
    As you can see my system ranks second from last on Bills Benchmark tests.

  • Is there any way i can keep pages documents and numbers documents in the same file?

    Im trying to group pages and numbers documents in the same file is this possible?

    Not on the iPad itself, no. iOS apps keep their documents within each app itself. You would need to save the documents to a WebDAV server. Dropbox can serve this function if partnered with DropDAV. See:

  • Roaming (ethernet connected base station) and wireless extended network at the same time. Good idea?

    I have a Time Capsule (6th gen.) which is my main base station. I also have a number of airport extremes around the house. I only use them in the client mode, i.e. they just join the network so that I can stream audio to devices connected to them.
    As I had bad reception in the garden, I installed my old dual-band airport extreme (4th gen) in the garden shed. All Apple articles I read on the topic convinced me that roaming (ethernet connected base station) is much better than wireless extending because you don't lose throughput. As I had no ethernet in the shed, I used two powerline adapters to bring ethernet there and I connected my airport extreme.
    Then I had to re-install all the airport expresses (as I had also changed the name of the network) and I noticed that the default option of the Airport utility is to make them extend the network wirelessly instead of just joining to it. I did not do it, but I am wondering. Is it a good idea? As they are in different rooms than the Time Capsule, of course the network there is not as strong as close to the Time Capsule. I still get "good enough" connection, but I will I have an improvement if I allow every Airport Express to extend the network as well? Or will I have problems with the throughput. My idea is not to do it and keep the net as simple as possible, i.e just extend it with roaming in the garden where I really need it and let the airport expresses in client mode.

    As usual AirPort Utility is trying to be clever. It is proposing what Apple thinks most people will want to do with it, and most of the time it succeeds.
    Having the Expresses "wirelessly extend" the Time Capsule's wireless network will increase your wireless network service area and should not introduce new problems. If that is not what you want to do though, you can certainly return to AirPort Utility and select "join a wireless network". It is a simpler configuration, and simpler is better for home wireless networks.

  • Can I use "g" and "n" AXs at the same time for Airtunes?

    Hi, hope someone can help with this.
    I currently have a wireless "g" network made up of a Netgear DG834PN router handling DHCP and with wireless off, an AEBS "n" as a wirelss base station and 4 AXs (2 "g" and 2"n") doing extended wireless and airtunes to different rooms around the house.
    If I use the Netgear for the "g" wifi and the AEBS for an "n" network and then set up the two "g" AXs on the "g" network and the two "n" AXs on the "n" network, but all still plugged into remote speakers will all the AXs still appear in my iTunes remote speaker list?
    Also, will I still be able to control them all from the Remote app on my 1st gen iPod touch connected to the "g" network?
    I seem to have built a bit of a monster here but it works fine as is. I'd just like to know if I can get a seperate "n" network going without losing any of my airtunes functionality.
    Thanks

    If I use the Netgear for the "g" wifi and the AEBS for an "n" network and then set up the two "g" AXs on the "g" network and the two "n" AXs on the "n" network, but all still plugged into remote speakers will all the AXs still appear in my iTunes remote speaker list?
    Yes, just like any network resource they should be available.
    Also, will I still be able to control them all from the Remote app on my 1st gen iPod touch connected to the "g" network?
    The app on your iPod controls iTunes on your computer streaming the music, so yes you would be able to control them all because you are controlling iTunes.

  • Is the catalog from Lightroom 5 compatible with Lightroom 6? Also, can Lightroom CC 2015 and Lightroom 6 use the same catalog?

    I am a current Lightroom 5.7 user - I have purchased and installed Lightroom 6, but have not launched the program yet - will LR 6 make changes to my LR 5 catalog, such that it cannot be used in LR5?
    Also, can LR6 and LR CC 2015 share the same catalog?

    Lightroom 6 will require an updated database are catalog format. When you first start Lightroom 6 after you have installed it, it will prompt you to upgrade your catalog. This will create a new copy of your catalog in the new format, leaving your Lightroom 5 catalog intact and usable if you still have Lightroom 5 installed. Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC can use the same catalog. But they cannot share the same catalog because that catalog must be installed locally on both computers. The Lightroom catalog cannot be placed on a network drive.

  • Connecting to wireless AND wired network at the same time.

    I just bought 2 lacie 500 GB Network Hard Drives with Gigabit Ethernet. One for file storage, the other for a backup of the first drive.
    My iMac connects to my DSL router using a Linksys wireless G Access Point, which is in another room in my apartment, due to the genius contractor installing only one telephone jack.
    So can I use my iMac's ethernet port to connect to a gigabit switch, and then connect the 2 external HDD to the switch? I don't need the other computers on my network to have access to the external HHD, just my iMac. However I do need to be on the 'net and have access to the external HDDs at the same time.
    Thanks

    No problem at all, the Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    So drag Airport to the top, Ethernet second and you should be good to go.

  • How can I save images and text data to the same file?

    I have been looking at ways to do this for a while. My main VI saves the raw data to a text file which the users then import to Excel and plot. I am trying to simplify this process and have been looking at ways to accomplish this task. I want to be able to save the raw data to a file and then save the Labview graph as well. This will eliminate the tedious task of importing the raw data into Excel and plotting it. I can save the raw data to its own file and I can use the Get Image method for the graph and save it to its own file. I am currently using the .png format. Is there a way of saving both to the same file ie, importing the image into Excel or Word etc. Before I go off doing a science project I wanted to see if anyone else had experience completing this task and had any recommendations. Thanks in advance for any help.

    well ther are a couple of ways. You could use the standard report generation VI's and make a complete report with the image of the graph embedded into the report with the raw data or you could use activeX and control excel thru LV and put the raw data into excel directly and have excel graph the data without any user interaction. I have posted a slew of VI's on the excel board if you do not have the report generation toolkit. If you could tell me which way you want to go I could possibly send you an example.
    For more information and some sample VI's and tool kits, you can go to the excel board
