Can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server on a Mac mini ?

I run a small business and am considering setting up an internal network. The online "features" description for Mobile Access Server (a component of Snow Leopard Server) says I can connect remoetley from an iPod or a Mac. The iPad is not mentioned. can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server?

Yes. It's the same as connecting from an iPod touch or iPhone.
Logmeinigniton or teamviewer are a few of the apps you can use.
Teamvewer has free app and you can see if it does what you want.

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

HT1515 Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

You are going to have to turn OFF Wifi on the Sky router device so its just a modem.
String an Ethernet cable off of the Sky router to an Apple Airport/Time Capsule device and have that create a stable WiFi network.
Using WDS protocols you can now add additional Apple Airport expresses as needs be to extend the Wifi signal area.
In theory you should able to extend an existing network however inter-operability between differing manufacturers is flaky at best.
Caveat using extenders Will degrade the performance of your network.
So its going to be more expensive - Need Two Airport devices and you my need support in creating the network (you may have to log in to the Sky provided routers advanced settings in the Java Control Panel and from a web browser to turn off features such as Wifi and IP addressing)
You may be better contacting Sky as they may actually have a compatible network extender (BT certainly do for their Home Broadband routers) available.

Can i use my airport express to get wi fi access for my samsung mobile?

can i use my airport express to get wi fi access for my samsung mobile..if yes, how?

If your Samsung mobile phone is Wi-Fi ready, you can use the AirPort Express or any other wireless router or wireless access point to provide a Wi-Fi network for it to connect to.

Can i use my airport to boos a signal received from my broadband wifi transmitter?

Can I use my airport extreme device to boost my broadband signal as a secondary wifi transmitter?
Any ideas?

Yes, if your "main" router is an Apple device
No, if it's not
If you can connect the AirPort Extreme back to the "main" router using an Ethernet cable, you have some options to provide more wireless coverage that way.

Can I use my WRV200 (VPN Router with Range Booster) as a Repeater?

Hello gurus
I have a unsecured wireless signal coming to my apartment. Can I use the above device to capture this signal and give me a wired port (to plug a network cable) for my VOIP phone?
Thanks
Fouwaaz

The Device doesnt have the functionality to be repeater. The device that you need is WET200 it is a wireless bridge that has a 4 ports on the back. Below is the Link for the Device http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10053/index.html

How to use Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router(access point...

Hi guys hope you can help; I am trying to add my Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router (ie an access point) to my home network and struggling.
What am I trying to achieve.
I have a fully functioning home network which is working great but the wireless range does not extend to the room above my garage, some distance away from the main house. I currently service it with an Ethernet link from my E4200 router, via the mains wiring, to link to a PS3 there. But I want to extend this to have a wireless network in the remote room so I can link multiple devices - rather than spend more money, deploying a 2nd router which I already have is preferable.
What have I got.
I have a Linksys E4200 router (nice piece of kit) attached to my ADSL line via a Belkin N1 wireless modem-router set to “modem only” mode (I was using a DSL modem until yesterday but that went AWOL and digging out the Belkin router I saw that it had a modem only function – and it/they worked first time )
All of my gear in the house is attached wirelessly to the E4200 which is delivering circa 11.5mbps from a maximum of 12.5mbps for the line measured by BT onsite. So all is fine there.
What have I done to try and use the HH3
Linked an Ethernet cable between one of the Ethernet ports on the E4200 to a mains plug.
Linked an Ethernet cable from a mains plug to one of the Ethernet ports on the HH3 router.
Ie as the PS3 was linked.
3. Switched on the HH3 router: the power light is solid blue, the wireless light is solid blue, the broadband light is off
4. Connected my laptop to the HH3 network and loading up a web page on IE9 displays a web page from bthomehub.home/etc etc with title BT Home Hub and a message “Can’t connect to Broadband”. It is the start of a self- diagnostic routine. Answering all the questions I eventually get a Home Hub Administrative Home Page displayed.
Is there a quicker way of getting to this admin page??
5. I switched off DHCP
I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.200 as this seems to be what the other threads on this subject did.
When I went to apply the change a message came up telling me that I might not be able to access the HH3. I ploughed on disregarding this and needless to say I could not then access the HH3 via the web interface and trying to access a web site nothing happened.
6. I did a hardware reset on the HH3
7. Going through the motions again, when I got to the admin pages again, I switched off DHCP and this time left the IP address alone, ie 192.168.1.254.
When I went to apply this I got the message
“After changing these settings you will need to renew the IP address of all devices connecting to your BT Home Hub. Please follow the instructions provided with your devices.”
I applied the change – but have not yet done any fooling around with IP addresses on my laptop because I don’t want to start mucking around with my laptop
I then tried to access a website, and failed, but on this occasion rather than nothing happening, the Home Hub website came up again displaying the error message page.
And that is where I stand. All looks so easy when reading other threads on this and other forums but it is not working for me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The IP settings on the E4200 are
IP 192.168.1.1
Range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149
Also connection type on the E4200 is POE not POA – as far as I recall that is what it needed to be to connect to the DSL modem and work.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have actually came across this page before - I seem to hit a snag when I connect the repeater hub (my HH3). As outlined, I have at all times kept the repeater hub connected via ehternet into one of the regular LAN ports to my main HH5.
But when I connect my laptop to the repeat hub (HH3), I am actually connected to the internet somehow (I assuem using the HH5 network) but under my network connections it says I am connected to the HH3. As a result, when I go to the homehub settings page 192.168.1.254, it brings me to the main HH5 settings page and not the repeater HH3.
According to the instructions it says I should "Ignore the not connected page", but I am connected and I cant seem to alter any of the settings on my HH3 while it is connected to the HH5.
Any other pointers?
Thanks!

How do I use a Dlink WBR-1310 router as an access point w/WRT54GS Router?

How can I set up my Dlink WBR-1310 router as an access point for the main router which is a Linksys WRT54GS?

I don't mean to be stupid but perhaps I was vague. I want to be able to plug the xbox 360 into the wrtu54g-tm using it as only a way to communicate wirelessly to my wrtg54G which is plugged into my modem. Are you saying that this can't work unless I try to use DD-wrt or something like that?

Using n80 wlan on mixed mode n/g access point?

I have a d-link dgl-4500. I use it in mixed mode n/g. My computers can connect just fine.
If I want to get the n80 to connect, I have to first change the wireless channel to 11 and then change it to channel 1.
Then and only then will my n80 find the access point.
If I set my AP to G only, then the wlan fires right up.
I'm not an expert on wifi. Are there any advanced wifi settings I can change to help my n80 find the AP easier?
current settings:
2.4GHz mode
mixed n/g mode
2.412 CH. 1
auto transmission rate
20MHz channel width
visible SSID
beacon 100
RTS threshold 2346
fragmentation threshold 2346
DTIM 1
short GI yes
802.11b protection no
Those are my current settings.
Thanks for anyone who can help.

Using syslogd for other devices on LAN (printer, access point, etc)

I have googled a bit on using syslog on FreeBSD to receive events from other devices on the LAN & see that I need to start the daemon with the "-u" switch, if I am not mistaken. I have additionally searched on how to start my daemon in this way but have not found how to do this. Would someone be so generous as to explain to me which "conf" file I need to edit.
Extra points for the command on how to restart the daemon to make the config chage take effect without rebooting.
(note: I have already allowed the traffic through the firewall)
Peace & Love.

Thanks for your help and advice. I got there eventually in a roundabout way! At one point I was given an error message stating that the configuration could not be retrieved from the Time Capsule. Then the internet connection via the modem was lost. But after a couple of intensive restarts, both units appeared under the same network and I can see my printer connected now.
I've seen this with AEBSs when changing their configurations, too. Glad you got round the problem in the end.
One more question through, I've connected a 4 port USB hub to the Airport Extreme Basestation but I can only get one printer to show up at a time under System preferences and Airport Utililty. Is this because the USB hub being used is not self powered or because this model of Airport Extreme only allows connectivity to a single printer at any one time?
I think it is because you can only use one printer at a time with this model. See this knowledge base article for details. You likely have firmware version > 5.5 but I'm guessing don't have the relevant AEBS model. Take a look, though.

Can you hard code the speed and duplex on lightweight access points

I have a client that want to set the spped and duplex on the switch port. Is there a way you can configure the fastethernet port on a lightweight access point for speed and duplex.

Try this step
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface fastethernet0
Enter configuration interface mode.
Step 3
speed {10 | 100 | auto}
Configure the Ethernet speed. Cisco recommends that you use auto, the default setting.
Step 4
duplex {auto | full | half}
Configure the duplex setting. Cisco recommends that you use auto, the default setting.
Step 5
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config

Can I get Airport to automatically connect to a stronger Access Point

Hello,
I am running Leopard 10.5.3 and have 2 access points (not apple) on the one network. One AP is at the opposite end of my house to the other.
When I make it to the opposite end of the connected AP, I get only 1 bar and it usually drops. Can I set airport to automatically connect to the strongest AP automatically even if it isn't out of signal?
I hope this makes sense?

I have to Wireless access points on the 1 network yes.
I have one of the AP's set up as a preferred network.
However once I am far away from it, I only get 1 bar of strength and then the connection becomes inconsistent (will go to no signal and then back to 1 etc.) At this point when it is doing this no signal to 1 I want airport to change to the AP. Is this possible?
I hope that is clearer.

How can I use the USRP to record a signal using its two RX port simultaneously?

Hi.
I am trying to record a signal using two horn antenna. The reason I need two antenna is to cover the wide frequency range (DC-6GHz). one antenna is covering DC-300MHz and the other one covers 300MHz-6GHz. So I need to use two RX port of USRP at the same time to record the signal. I have two questions:
1. Does any USRP in the market capable of covering this range of frequency?
2. Is it possible to use both RX port at the same time to record signals as I described? If not, how can make that happen?
P.S. I have two NI2920 USRPs and two N210 USRPs in my lab.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Sam.

Hi Sam,
To answer your first question the USRPs that you have cannot reach the frequency range that you want. There is not a USRP, to my knowledge, that can reach this range in one device.
Also note that you cannot use two RX sessions for two different ports at the same time using LabVIEW and the USRP driver. If you want to use both RX lines you will have to run one session with one line, end the session, and then start a different session for your second RX line.
