Connecting more than one wireless laptop

I have set up the router and can connect my laptop to it, but when my girlfriend tries to connect hers at the same time one of us will get connected and the other will get cut off, leaving only local access only. Tried everything. Help.

So this means only your 1 computer is able to go online at a time. So in this case you need to reset your Router and Re-Configure all the settings on it again.
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Once you re-configure all the settings on your Router, Here are some wireless settings which you can set on your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab-
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...
- And wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the
passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters) and click
on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network.
Click on Advanced Wireless-
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

How can I connect more than one wireless speaker to my ipad

i have a mini iPad and have linked two wireless Bluetooth speakers but they will only work one at a time. How can I get them both to work together ?

Yes and it's very easy to do once you know what to do.
Place all of the photo albums that you want to transfer to the iPad into one main photos album on your PC. When your iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes and after you have selected the iPad under Devices, click on the Photos tab and in the Sync Photos from heading - select that main photos album that you place all of your other photos folders into - select each album that you want to sync - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner to sync the photos to the iPad.
iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple

More than one wireless network connection

Is it possible to keep more than one wireless connection installed for my Deskjet 3000 (J310 series) in Devices & Printers? I am using Windows 7 Pro. For example when I travel to my dad's house I take my printer with me and he has a wireless cable connection. I have to go through the setup to get the printer on his network, then when I come home I have to go through the process again to get back on my network. I would like to be able for it to keep BOTH so all I have to do is select one or the other and not go through setup again!
Hope there is a solution!

Hello pranderson
Unfortunately the printer can only store one network settings at a time. I'm not sure of any printer than remembers multiple network settings either.
Unless its a mobile printer, printers are not typically moved between different networks.
Is there a particular reason for moving the printer? I'm just curious and hope I have been informational.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

How can i connect more than one database

i would like to connect more than one database one my laptop
now i have database one and sid=ddms
and i would another such as sid=ddmf
how can i connect two database on the same my laptop

I am not sure what you mean by after built? Are you trying to export data from one database and import it into another? If so, export it using data pump making sure you have the correct ORACLE_SID. Also be sure both database have to same character set. Then change the ORACLE_SID to other database, and run data pump to import the data into the other database. Hope that makes any sense...

Can't connect more than one device.

I just bought an Airport Express 2 gen from a friend and I have two issues: I tried to reset it to factory settings and could not do it. Tried holding the reset button for 10 secs, unplugging and plugging back in while holding the reset button, holding the button for a longer time and nothing worked. I had no choice but to create another network. Once created, I can't connect more than one device. If I have my MacAir hooked up the network and I try to get my Ipad in, the minute I type the network pass in my Ipad, a screen pops up where I have to log in with my internet provider account. When I do that, it will connect, but my MacAir will disconnect automatically.
Appreciate any help!

Things are a bit different with the 2nd Gen AirPort Express and other newer AirPorts.
A Factory Default Reset is now the same as what was previously known as a "Hard Reset".
Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few minutes.
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the Express is operating correctly, it will be back to factory default settings at this time.
If you try the reset a few times and the Express will not return to default settings, the Express is defective.

Connect more than one computer to a time capsule volume?

Hello. I am considering buying an old time capsule (500G, 2nd generation) as a little in-house server to store data that need to be accessible for more than one work station. Is it possible to connect more than one work station to one time capsule?
Thanks

While it is possible to connect more than one computer to the Time Capsule......I would not recommend that you buy the Time Capsule that you are looking at.....unless you know that the owner has replaced the hard drive and power supply.
Most of these models never made it much past a few years of operation, so if this is an "original", you have a hint of what will happen not long after you purchase the product.

Connecting more than one ipod to one mac computer

Can anyone please advise me on how I can connect more than one ipod to just the one mac computer. I need to set up 3 ipods to work on the one mac computer but each with there own itunes library. thanks

When the iPods belong to two users, there are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. Each iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

WRT54G & Comcast - Operating more than one wireless PC at the same time

First, I want to thank the many advisors and experts that contribute so freely to this knowledge base. I have read the many insights into Comcast/cable modems. Because to that I am able to connect one (1) laptop via wireless to my WRT54G which is attached to the cable modem from Comcast. I had to use "MAC Cloning" to make this wireless connection work. Happy days!
Problem: When I try to bring a second laptop online via the WRT54G using wireless, the laptop seems to receive all the right information (ipcondig /all) but will not connect. Internet Explorer presents the "standard error page" rather than my home page. For example, I want to read my email via laptop #1 and have my wife read her email on laptop #2 - at the same using wireless. Is this possible?
Question: Using the WRT54G and Comcast can I have two or more seperate wireless laptops connect to the Internet at the same time? Note: I am NOT trying to connect the two (2) wireless laptops to each other. Just a good old fashion connection to the Web via the Internet.
Are there other WRT54G owners with Comcast service that have this functionality?
(BTW - I am not trying to bash Comcast. I am just unaware of a solution.)
Thank you in advance.

Adjust the browser settings on the laptop where you don't have Internet...
Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Yes, it is possible to read mails on both the laptops at the same time...Also it is possible to connect to Internet Wirelessly on multiple computers/laptops at the same time simultaneously...

Connecting more than one pc to the network stops i...

Hi All - Any help appreciated!
We recently upgraded to a new BT Home Hub 2.0
We have one pc connected connected via ethernet, one pc wireless, and one laptop wireless.
All three connect to the network fine individually, but when more than one attempts to connect at the same time, the internet drops!
We've tried rebooting the Hub, nothing.
(I've tried hitting my head against it, but that doesn't seem to work....)
Regards,

Can Not Connect More Than One Device

Does anyone else have the issue of not being able to connect more than 1 device to your wireless network without it timing out and resetting the router? I pay extra to have what they say is the fastest internet but it never works. If Apple TV is streaming Netflix my iPad, my laptop and my desktop all have to be off and not connected to the WiFi or the router resets itself. My speed test actually timed out because it was taking so long both times I tried it, a month apart. I had the same issues before switching to X1 and getting my new WiFi modem. If I call I just get the run around and have my modem reset a dozen times with the exact same outcome...

It would help if you post the model of the device.
Also look over the troubleshooting tips and post the downstream RF power levels, downstream SNR and upstream power levels on all channels.

Why won't my Time Capsule allow me to connect more than one device to the network at a time?

Ok here is the shortest story I can come up with...
Several months ago lightening struck my house and ruined the power cord for my old AIR PORT EXTREME....after replacing the power cable my wireless network began to prohibit more than one device at a time to connect to the wireless network.
I replaced that network with a new TIME CAPSULE and it is doing the same thing. I took my old AirPort Extreme to my work and it works like a charm. My ISP says it is an Apple problem but I have had the same settings both at home and at work. Work is great, multiple devices connect but home is one at a time and in order to connect ANOTHER device I have to power down one, and reboot the router and fire up the device I wish to connect.
Any suggestions?

I am running off a Fiber line....the unit that is a battery back up and appears to be a modem as well is called CyberPower CS24U12V-NA3
Techincally, there is no "router" in my house, there is a LOCKED control box outside, a battery back up module in the garage that shows battery life and connection, then a cat5 outlet in my laundry room..All of which was installed by my ISP.
I am using a 2TB Time Capsule running DHCP in Bridge Mode. I can't find the software version but updated it while installing it within the last two months.
Under Network Tab
Enable NAT Port mapping is checked
Under the Wireless Tab
we have a 5ghz Network
Radio mode is set to: 802.11a/n-802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
2.4 GHz is Auto
5 Ghz is Auto
I hope this helps....
