Can you add an ethernet hub to an airport extreme to distribute around a sm

I have an airport, Mac Mini, PowerBook and Iphone and am currently installing Cat6 around our house.
Is it possible to use one of the outputs from the airport directly to an ethernet hub/switch and then distribute to other parts of the house via Cat6? Do I need to use a Switch or a Hub to do this?
I also want to set up the mac mini as a media server with 2 1TB drives hanging off it is this possible.
Thanks

Hello Sonnic. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is it possible to use one of the outputs from the airport directly to an ethernet hub/switch and then distribute to other parts of the house via Cat6?
Yes.
Do I need to use a Switch or a Hub to do this?
For better networking performance, you will want to use an Ethernet Switch.
I also want to set up the mac mini as a media server with 2 1TB drives hanging off it is this possible.
Yes, that is also possible.

  • Can you search an external hdd connected via airport extreme

    I have my western digital 500gb harddrive connected to my airport extreme so I can use my HD wirelessly. I tried searching for files in my wireless harddrive through finder, but it doesn't seem to search it, only on my macbook itself. Is it possible to search the harddrive wirelessly?

    Smokerz,
    could you explain??
    I spent over an hour with Apple Tech support and they said that Finder/Spotlight WILL NOT search a networked drive. However, I did find a bit of a work around:
    1. In Finder Preferences: General - Select check box - 'Always open folders in new window'
    2. Open up a Finder window
    3. Select Airport Extreme. (Left column, Shared, name of Airport base station)
    4. Select networked drive
    5. Double Click a folder in your network drive that you want to search (this opens new window)
    6. In the new window, type what you need in the search window (upper right hand corner).
    Remember: The Finder window will default to the 'This Mac' in the search column (light grey line below the Toolbar)
    7. In the Search column, This Mac and Contents are selected in Dark Grey. You should see
    Search: *This Mac* "folder name" Shared | Contents File Name
    8. Now select "folder name". This will search the contents of the selected folder and bypass your Mac.
    If there is an easier way, could you please explain. TIA
    Narvon
    PS - If you try to select your networked drive in a new window as in step 5, this still won't work. You can only select specific folders within the drive. Lastly, you can move all your folders and files to 1 folder, however, this increases the search time (My network drive is 320GB in size and a search for 1 known file took just over 3 minutes).

  • HT204291 Can you use Airplay when your when your Airport extreme is a bridge?

    I have ATT Uverse and I cannot get my Airport extreme to work as the main router.  So I want to know if I can airplay through the ATT router or set my Airport to a bridge and then airplay.  I am trying to use both my Macbook Pro and Ipad on the Airplay.  Or senging a the computer screen to my home tv.

    I have a couple of extremes that bridge my ISP supplied router network, AirPlay works just fine.

  • Can you connect an ethernet cable to an Airport Express Extension?

    I have an Airport Express that I am using as an extension to my current home wireless network.
    That is successful and I have a green light. I am trying to plug in an ethernet cable to allow an older mac without an airport card to connect to that Airport Express Extension. When I turn off the airport and select Ethernet Cable, I am told that the cable is not connected to the internet. The wireless works fine and I can get full bars in the far part of my house - but I do not get internet when connecting an Ethernet cable.
    Help!
    Thanks in advance

  • How large of an Ethernet Switch can you add to an Airport Extreme gigabit router?

    I have a gigabit Airport Extreme router. I like using the Airport Utility to control my network. I want to convert a large number of wireless connections to wired ethernet devices, about 24. The reason is that I just get too many wireless dropouts, and I need a more reliable network. I am looking for the best way to design this. It seems like adding a gigabit Ethernet switch is the easiset and best way to accomplish this. My questions are:
    1. How large of a gigabit switch can you add to the LAN port of an Airport Extreme: 24-port, 48-port?
    2. How far down can you cascade switches? In other words, can I connect three 5-port switches (level 1 switches) to the three LAN ports on the Airport Extreme, and then connect more 5-port switches to the level 1 switches?
    3. What are the performance implications for either design. Can you achieve gigabit performance with these designs?
    Thanks for the help.

    I have a network with an Extreme base station, 3 Extreme wired extenders and 1 express wired extender - in the mix are four 24 port gigabit switches and two 8 port gigabit switches - so you can add as much as you want within the limits of the internal IP address range which is controling the number of devices on the network.

  • How can you add a where clause using "OR" with applied ViewCriteria?

    [JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
    [JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
    I am using JHeadstart, but have a question probably more in the ADF area. On the JHeadstart forum I asked:
    "I am overriding JhsApplicationModule's advancedSearch in order to be able to search in childtables. I created transient attributes, display those in advanced search and in the overridden method I check if any of these are filled by the user and create a where clause like 'EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>)'. I add this whereclause using ViewObject.setWhereClause.
    So far so good and it works. However, if the user selects 'Result matches any criteria', combining setWhereClause and the normal advancedSearch QueryByExample implementation using ViewCriteriaRow do not provide the desired result, since the ViewCriteria and the setWhereClause are AND-ed together, which is fine if the user selects the (default) "Results match all criteria" (everything is AND-ed) but not the "Result matches any criteria", since then every criterium is OR-ed together, except for the setwhereclause criteria and the set of ViewCriteriaRows, they are AND-ed.
    I looked if I could specify that a WhereClause will be OR-ed to existing applied ViewCriteria, but no luck. Do I have to rewrite also advancedSearch's ViewCriteria implementation and write an entire setWhereClause implementation to be able to "OR" every criterium? Or any other suggestions? Can I look at the entire Where clause and rewrite it (after applyCriteria and setWhereClause are called on the VO)?
    Toine"
    Sandra Muller (JHeadstart Team) told me today: "This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. The question is: how can you add a where clause using "OR" if there are already one or more ViewCriteria applied?
    To simplify the test case, you could create a simple ADF BC test client class in a test Model project without JHeadstart (in the test class, use bc4jclient + Ctrl-Enter), in which you first apply a few ViewCriteriaRows to a View Object and also add a where clause.
    Can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ? (This what I am doing now ;-))

    Anyone knowing the answer or am I asking for an enhancement?

    Hi,
    Can you SET your whereclause as follows ?
    ('Y' = <isAnd>
    and EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    OR ('N' = <isAnd>
    AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> OR <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    )

  • Can you use a Ethernet hard drive on a airpot express

    Can you use a ethernet hard disk on a airport express?

    More than likely this is NOT possible since most Belkin routers are NOT compatible with Apple's WDS.
    However if you are using a Belkin F5D7230-4 or F5D7231 you might be able to get it to work. You need to configure the Belkin and the AirPort Express (AX) to connect wirelessly using WDS. Only then is the AX's Ethernet port enabled.

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

    Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

    Hello saradianapasik,
    If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
    I hope that helps,

  • Can you add apps to iPad open in list

    Can you add apps to the open in list of an iPad

    As far as I know, you cannot add apps to the Open In list using any setting or built in feature in iOS. This is controlled by the iOS itself. IIRC, you can delete apps from the iPad that appear in the Open In list in order to make room for apps that you would like to appear in there, and if you continue to use the apps that you want to add to that list, eventually they will appear in the list. I believe that the more that you use one particular app, the more likely it will be for it to appear in the Open In list.

  • Can you add vids from a camra to Ipad

    Can you add vids from camra to ipad 2 (to make vids on imovie)

    surely. You need to sync the files to your camera-roll in iOS, use itunes/iphoto. IMovie in iOS can access all videos that are in the camera-roll ( photos.app ) .
    The Apple iPad camera connection kit will also be a big help  : With it you can insert a digital cameras SD-Card into the iPad and mass-import the footage . Using this you avoid the iTunes/PC/OSX procedure to load material into the ipad.

  • Can you add a function sort of like spam, but for websites. So I can put website to spam bucket

    Can you add a totally new functionality, which would be similar to email spam.
    If I get to a website I don't ever want to see in any of my searches or anything I would just click WEBSPAM button and the site is gone from my web viewing experience.
    It is sort of an opposite of favorites or bookmarks. Negative bookmarks could be a good concept name.
    So again, the negative bookmark site would not show in any of my searches. The idea is to make this simple.
    A one click solution.
