Can I use the ethernet port ....

Can I use the ethernet port on the ATV to connect my blue ray p[layer to the internet using the ATV as a wireless card??
If so how??

I might be next in line on the airport extreme! Right now wireless is working better since the latest upgrade to iTunes, but hardwire is the way to go. Only problem is that ISP connections is in my office and my Home Media is downstairs. I was thinking of setting the Airport Extreme as a repeater in order to access ISP and then used the ports in the back for iTunes and ATV.

  • Can I use the Ethernet Port for a computer when it is also used as a wireless network with an Airport Extreme as the access point for the wireless network

    Can I use the Ethernet Port  of the A1264 Airport Express to connect to the Ethernet port of a computer that does not have wireless capability when the Airport Express is also used on a wireless network with an Airport Extreme 5th generation as the access point for the network?
    I have AE 5th gen
    looking to buy (from ebay) the AEX A1264
    Various computers, printers and hubs for the network
    Is this possible to do?

    Bob, Thanks for the info. I have read different articles that said yes, but I wanted to make sure before I commit to buy. I have an older A1084 which I could not use the Ethernet port. I know at one point I was able to when I was on 10.4. Now that I am on an Intel processor and 10.8 I am going to have to upgrade some of my Apple wireless hardware.
    Thanks Again.

  • I can not use the Ethernet Port to connect another device.  My Airport Express allowed me to do this.

    I want to use the Ethernet Port for my Apply TV for another device (Direct TV box), but it doesn't work.  I have Airport Express with an Ethernet port and I was able to plug my Direct TV box to download.

    It's not designed to extend a network, and plugging in ethernet disables wi-fi in any case.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • How can i use the parallel port

    I was wondering how to adress my PC´s
    parallel port. I did'nt find a suitable

    Do I have to read/write somehow directly
    to the port adress in memory 0378 ...?
    If so, how can this be done ?
    Thanks for any help,

    Use VISA to read/write to the parallel port just like you would read/write
    to the serial port. I would staty away from the inport/outport stuff. I believe
    there's some articles in the KnowledgeBase if you get stuck.

  • Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

    Hello,
    I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
    Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
    More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

    Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
    Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this  
    Your question.....
    is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
    My Answer.....
    Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
    so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
    Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices.  The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
    I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have.  I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.

  • Can I use the WAN port on my AirPortExpress to extend my WiFi from my Time Capsule?

    OK folks, here's what I want to do.  I have a Time Capsule not only supplying WiFi, but also connected to the ethernet in my home.  What I want to do is use the ethernet to connect my AirPort Express and extend the WiFi signal.  I've tried various settings configurations and the closest I get is a duplicate network.  This causes problems for Home Sharing of iTunes accounts to my 2 Apple TV's, one that is connected to ethernet and the other WiFi.  Plus, it seems to confuse our iPhones and another WiFi computer from time to time.
    So can this even be done, is there another option I'm missing? We are trying to use this in a room for the AirPlay feature and the original WiFi signal drops pretty regularly, so moving it closer to the TC is a last resort.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi - if what you want to do is have the Express produce a wireless network with a new name then you need to configure it in the following way - it should be set to connect via ethernet in bridge mode and set to "create a wireless network" with a new name and password of your choice - if you need specific steps let me know.

  • Can I use the IR port to receive other data

    HI I wonder if it is possible to use the IR port on my 2.4Ghz Core Duo Imac to import data from the IR transmitter on my Aviva Accu Chek blood glucose Monitor? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I have very few tech. details about the Accuchek, some ideas of how to access the IR port would be great as a starting point
    Thanks for the help Peter T

    I doubt it can or there would be other hardware which may use it.
    I think the problem you will have is if it can transmit the data and has been sent to your mac how would you open the data?
    You need an app to access it.
    But it maybe worth seeing if the diabetic app you get on the mac can understand the data it sends.

  • How can we use the SDXC PORT ?

    Hi,
    Im intending to buy a Macbook pro 15" and i wonder how can i use the SDXC to boot my future macbook.
    I heard there is out there some cards to make it boot faster. I am not talking here about sd camera cards.
    And do you think i made the right choice by choosing the 15" 2.2 ghz i7 ?
    Thank you

    There's only one way to make your "mac faster and use it every day"—replace the internal disk drive with an SSD, or replace the internal SSD with a bigger and faster SSD.
    Disk I/O has alwas been the main bottleneck of all computers. So you either make it occur faster or you reduce de times it needs to occur.
    In the "faster" section, the issues I have with SSDs are several:
    Their price still needs to go down way more. The cost per MB of SSD-based storage is still vastly greater than that of HDDs. Yes, if you compute in extreme environments like karting down Baja or skydiving off the Himalayas, a ruggedized SSD is great, but most of us mortals live in the safe confines of a homey office.
    The size of SSDs has to expand much more. Yes, they are inching up to the 500GB size, but HDDs are at 1TB and promise to break that barrier before the year is out.
    If you purchase your SSD preinstalled in your Mac, you will be paying a big premium, compared to marketplace SSDs, even those from the same maker but not Apple-branded. This also applies to RAM.
    If you put in a non-Apple-branded SSD, Lion will not enable TRIM support by default and you will have to go "under the hood" to enable it. Without TRIM, you will not get the full performance and durability benefit of an SSD.
    Might be me, but I prefer to stick with HDDs for now, just making sure they are of 7200RPM spindle speed.
    In the "reduce" section, must point out that Lion is a 64-bit beast. Meaning that all data structures are twice the size of previous 32-bit cats. Regardless of "minimum" specs, 4GB RAM is the new practical minimum and 8GB makes the fat cat much happier. But buying RAM from Apple is not a financially wise decision; an 8GB upgrade from reputable vendors can be had for around $40, in stark comparison to the $200 premium charged by the Apple store. For the same $200 or a bit less, you can get a 16GB upgrade instead, not officially sanctioned but that works just fine with the latest model Macs. In this case, I don't think the OP will need as much, but it is something to take under consideration. The extra RAM will drastically reduce the disk-based paging that the memory management carries out, thereby minimizing that bottleneck.

  • Ethernet apple tv 2? Can I use the enthernet port on the apple tv to connect other non wifi item to my wifi network? Much like a Airport express?

    Is anyone using the apple tv 2 to connect other items to a home wifi network through the apple tvs ethernet port? I know you can use airport express to do this and I am already else where at home. Is this even possible? Can you run The HDMI cable to your tv and the optical cable to sound system at the same time?

    Is anyone using the apple tv 2 to connect other items to a home wifi network through the apple tvs ethernet port?
    ATV2 has no router capabilities - it is a client device.

    yes.

  • Can I use the LAN port of my Airport Express, which is being used to extend my wi-fi network from my Time Capsule?

    I have a home wi-fi network based on a Time Capsule (3rd Gen.).  I recently added a new "n" Airport Express to extend my wi-fi coverage to areas of my home where the signal has been weak or non-existant.  The setup went very well (Airport Utility 6 on my MacBook Pro running Mtn. Lion) and was extremely simple and trouble free.  Now I am attempting ot plug an ethernet device (internet bridge reciver from a wirelss weather station) into the LAN port.  The weather station instructions say the device should communicate fine plugged directly into my router (not physically available where the device needs to be) OR plugged into a LAN port of an ethernet hub.  My question is then:  with the Airport Express in wi-fi extend mode, is the LAN port available to cable internet devices into the network?

    My question is then:  with the Airport Express in wi-fi extend mode, is the LAN port available to cable internet devices into the network?
    Yes, assuming that the setup went correctly.
    Test by moving your laptop or other computer close to the AirPort Express. Temporarily, turn off the wireless on the laptop and connect it using a spare Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the Express.
    See if you can get an Internet connection. If you can, you know the Express has been configured and is functioning correctly.
    Since the Express is in bridge mode when it "extends" both ports become LAN ports, so if you have a second device that needs an Ethernet connection, connect it to the WAN port as it will work as well.

  • Can I use the LAN port out of the network?

    I just bought an Express to use with a neighbor. They have a desk top PC and a DSL modem. If we plug the modem into the extreme, can I just plug his PC into the LAN Port without having to configure it to the Extreme (we don't want to create a linked network, we just need the signal to pass through like a router)? Ideally, this is what I want, for them to not have anything to deal with, just me setting up my own laptop and leaving their system be.
    Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?

    cactus101, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You mention Express and Extreme. I'm going to assume that you are connecting the PC to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Yes you can plug the PC into the AEBS's LAN port. The PC will be configured to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address. The PC doesn't won't even know that the AEBS exists. It will only know that a router exists and it is connected via Ethernet.Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?Yes they will be on the same network subnet.

  • Can i use the HDMI port and the Mini displayport to HDMI adapter simultaneously to switch between two displays?

    I just bought a new Mac Mini and was hoping that i can connect my TV via the HDMI port and also connect a 19" monitor via the Minidispaly port to HDMI adapter or the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. This way i can pick between having the screen mirrored to my tv, or having the screen displayed at my desk.
    Is this possible?

    Yes. Note the resolution via HDM is limited to
    This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

    Without that, you're just wasting your time. Even if the instrument is
    constantly sending data, you'll need to know how to interpret the data
    and there's nothing that says it has to be sending constantly. Maybe
    you first have to write something to the port first. Talk to them and
    tell them you want to replace their software with software of your own
