Connecting gaming console. MoCA adapter or Router?

Hello all,
I haven't really been able to find a definitive answer to this anywhere. Currently, my FIOS setup has the routers/wireless transceiver in a bedroom at the front of the house. I have a game console in the den at the back of the house. I do not want to move the router, but I want to get the gaming console off of the wireless connection and hardiwred with some cat5. There is a coax connection in the den, with a STB connected. I'm considering getting a MoCA adapter to use at this location, so I can branch a cat5 off and maintain the coax for the STB. Will this work? I keep reading what indicates to me that the MoCA needs to be downstream from the router, but one or two site don't seem to say that. So, can I simply install a MoCA adapter at the coax line in the den, split coax off to the STB and have cat5 for me console, and be happy? Or would I need a secondary router at this location instead of the MoCA adapter, becuase the MoCA would need to be downstream from the router?
Thanks in advance!

You confusion is justified, in that the diagram you listed does not represent your system (as I understand it). Note that in the diagram, the router is provisioned via Ethernet WAN. In your home, you are using what's called "coax WAN."
Don't spend too much time with this unless your curiosity is aroused and you want to delve further. Just realize that anywhere you have a coax connection in the building, you can add one of the adapter devices in question and also have an Ethernet connection at that same location.
Admittedly this takes some getting used to when one first encounters the Verizon or MoCA method. The confusion arises because the coax sends different types of signals at different frequencies over the same wire. What the adapter does is help separate these different signals for particular uses (TV, Internet, etc.).
I hope that hasn't made things more foggy. Very shortly you will be happy with the proposed solution.

Trouble w/Linksys WRT54G2 connecting w/Linksys Phone Adapter SPA2102

I am trying to connect my new VOIP phone adapter Linksys SPA2102 with my wireless router Linksys Cisco #WRT54G2 V1. I have DSL and previously had the wireless router connected with a Vonage Phone Adapter and everything worked fine. When trying to connect my new phone adapter Linksys(SPA2102) it does not work. It will work if I connect the new adapter directly with my DSL modem but will not work through my wireless router (WRT54G2 v1). I have turned everything off and restarted all products several times along with the PC and still no luck. The only way I can get my DSL to work with the new adapter is to wire it directly to the DSL modem. Everything worked yesterday prior to trying to use the new phone adapter. I hope this makes sense lol. This is not allowing me to use my laptop through the wireless router. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jenny

you should try this -- it shows you how to configure wrt54g2 behind the SPA2102 because it is recommended that you put the SPA2102 directly behind modem for better voice quality

Running Gaming consoles through iMac

I was wondering if it is possible to run an xbox 360 or any gaming console through my iMac, and if so what I need to get in order to do so.
Thanks

I've heard this product mentioned before as a solution:
http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetv250na
It mentions "Connect game console (zero latency game play - USB 2.0 only)"

Extending Network and Gaming Consoles

I have a airport extreme set up in my office. Downstairs I have 4 gaming consoles, which require fast internet speeds other wise it effects game play. The signal where 2 of my consoles are do not get great reception. So I know I can use an airport express, plug it in where I get reception downstairs and have it extend the range of my network.
However, I have 2 questions about this:
1) I have my extreme set up for N and my gaming consoles are G. The extreme is backwards compatible, but will the same hold true if I add an Express to the network? Will my G consoles still work?
2) In my head I think this would slow down the speed. I would think my console would have to go through an express, then the express sends up to my extreme, then finally out to the internet. Would adding an express slow the connection at all because now it has one extra point it travels through?
Thanks,
Andrew

1) I have my extreme set up for N and my gaming consoles are G. The extreme is backwards compatible, but will the same hold true if I add an Express to the network? Will my G consoles still work?
The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be added to your network configuration to extend the wireless range of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). If you configure the overall extended network for the "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" radio mode, your "g" game consoles should be able to connect.
2) In my head I think this would slow down the speed. I would think my console would have to go through an express, then the express sends up to my extreme, then finally out to the internet. Would adding an express slow the connection at all because now it has one extra point it travels through?
The bottom line ... yes, extending the network and support for "g" clients will reduce the overall bandwidth available for the wireless network. If bandwidth performance is critical, you may want to consider switching to an all Ethernet-based solution.

BEFSR41 fed from SPA2102 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router

urrently, a broadband cable modem is connected to the input of a new BEFSR41 4-port router. The router feeds 4 computers (a newer "primary" PC, and 3 secondary "old goats" that I use to print online grocery coupons). The 4 PC's are networked to share a common printer, a single directory on the "primary" PC, and using a 4-port KVM switch - I switch a single keyboard and mouse to whichever PC that I am using at the time.
I want to purchase a Linksys SPA2102 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router and integrate it into my existing system (noted above). This is probably a no-brainier for some, but I am new to routers and VoIP and that is why I am posting here, before buying the SPA2102.
According to the SPA2102 instruction manual that I downloaded from the Cisco website, there are two RJ45 connectors, one YELLOW and the other BLUE with the following typical connection configurations:
YELLOW . . . Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable (included) to the ETHERNET port of the Phone Adapter. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of your PC.
BLUE . . . Connect one end of a different Ethernet network cable to the INTERNET port of the Phone Adapter. Connect the other end to your cable/DSL modem.
What I would like to do is, hopefully, simple and effective. I want to connect my cable modem to the SPA2102's BLUE connector, and from its YELLOW connector connect to the BEFSR41's input. Will this work, ensuring both the BEFSR41 and SPA2102 function properly?
Thank you.
CurlySue

if you have access to the device and it is not remotely provisioned by the VOIP company. try to change the registration expires to a 24 hour time period as well as well as the Resync Periodic: in the provisioning tab to 24 hours as well.

Is this possible: SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and ...

Hi,
I have (stupid perhaps) question.
Is this scenario possible:
SNC connection from SAP GUI to SAP Router, and non-SNC connection from SAP Router to SAP System.
I know how to set up scenario like this:
SAP System --- (non-SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP GUI.
Best regards,
Marek Majchrowski

Wolfgang,
To be sure myself and Marek understand, can you confirm the different scenarios supported:
Scenario 1:
SAP GUI --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (non-SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario, it would be possible for a user to logon using SAP GUI onto the SAP System, but without SAP GUI SNC.
Scenario 2:
SAP GUI --- (SNC conn) --- saprouter1 --- (non SNC conn) --- saprouter2 --- (SNC conn) --- SAP System
With this scenario it would be possible to logon to the SAP System using SAP GUI, and using SNC authentication.
Also, with this scenario the SAP GUI software and SAP System software would consider this to be similar to:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- SAP System
Scenario 3:
This is the scenario mentioned by Marek in his initial question:
SAP GUI -- (SNC conn) -- saprouter1 -- (non SNC conn) -- SAP System
With this scenario it will not be possible to logon to SAP System using SNC, and only possible if the SAP GUI is configured to not use SNC. In other words the SNC connection between SAP GUI and saprouter1 is available, but cannot be used.
Thanks,
Tim

Need help to Configure FTPS connection for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I want to Configure, FTPS connection (Secured Connection) for File Sender Adapter. Could anyone please guide me, what Information I require to configure. I just want to know what Information should I request the team inorder the configure FTPS so that it can be deployed properly.
I have checked with [SAP Help Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm] and while configuring the communication channel found that I need Keystore and the X.509 Certificate and Private Key. which needs to be deployed on the J2EE server by using the Visual Administrator.
Is there anything else, I need to configure.
Any help would be appreciated in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun.K

The basic things are Certificate/Keys which you already know. Usually it is enough for running a sceanrio.
However, if you have additional requirements, like FTPS for "Connection Security" for encryption, then you may need additional details like commands. Rest all settings are same as FTP.

My new HP officejet pro 6830 crashes when I connect to my Asus RT-N66U router

OfficeJet Pro 6830 crashes when connected to network (Asus RT-N66U router)
I've just taken delivery of an OfficeJet Pro 6830. I've installed the ink cartridges and it seems to be able to print copies and test pages, but I can't get it to connect to my network. Here's what I've tried:
Using the Wireless Setup Wizard
I selected my network from the list and entered my WPA key. It says it's trying to connect, then the following happens:
1. Briefly (for less than a second) a screen pops up showing that it has successfully connected to the network.
2. Briefly (for less than a second) the screen flashes blue with a "power" icon and the text "B8B2A4F8" (which I presume is an error code).
3. The screen display changes to "Printer Error: There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer Off, then On."
4. After restarting the printer, it complains that it has not been shut down properly.
Any further attempts to connect yield the same results.
Ethernet connection
If I power the printer on while it is connected via an Ethernet cable to my network, after about 10 seconds it crashes as described above (steps 2 and 3) without me doing anything at all.
I did manage to get it to connect to a WiFi hotspot on my mobile phone (and I checked for firmware updates, but unfortunately there were none available), so it seems there's something about my network that the printer doesn't like. I have no idea what that could be, however. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Shawnondrums,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting down when attempting to connect to the wireless network.
A very important step that gets easily over looked is, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once the printer is back on, please use the on/off button to do a proper shut down and restart. This will also do a semi power reset on the printer.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Wireless connection to D-Link DIR-655 router

I just got a MBP and I can't connect wirelessly to my D-link router (WPA password protected; wired connection works great). Aiport sees the router, asks for the password which I enter, and then I get the message "the selected network uses and Access Control List.. and this computer is not on the list." I've tried to add the MBP to my network using the Network Magic process for adding new devices (which worked just fine to wirelessly connect my PC laptop from work), but it can't seem to find the MBP. I tried the steps suggested by iVmichael to someone having a similar problem April 5-6, and also tried disabling my network lock, but so far haven't found the magic combination. Suggestions?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) D-Link DIR-655 router
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had a similar problem and I needed a second computer (B) using a wired connection to the router to allow the other one (A) in. This is what I did:
1. Using the wired computer (B) I opened up the network so any computer could join the network wirelessly.
2. I joined the network with (A) wirelessly.
3. Once I had successfully joined the network with (A) I used the wired computer (B) to do a search for new computers so (A) could be registered in the Access Control List.
4. Using (B) I closed the network again.
5. Now I could join the network with (A) wirelessly without any trouble.

Since you posted in the Thunderbolt Display Community, I am guessing you are attempting to connect a MacBook Air to a Thunderbolt Display, but since you tagged projector, it makes me doubt my assumption. Can you provide some more details on what you are trying to connecto your MacBook Air to?

do i have to hardwire connect the Time Capsule to my router?
My plan was to just add it to my wireless network and keep it for security away from my mac and in a completely different part of the house.

You can but it is a NOT recommended method.. it will be slow and unreliable.

My MBP recently started logging itself out. I narrowed the problem to the external monitor which is connected with a Thunderbolt adapter. When I disconnected it, the problem went away.

My early 2011 MBP laptop (OS Yosemite 10.2.2) recently started logging itself out. I narrowed the problem to the external monitor which is connected with a Thunderbolt adapter. I installed Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2, that did not correct the problem. When I disconnect the external monitor, the problem went away. Is there something I can do to be able to use the external monitor again?

Try Function F1

You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.
