Do I need a DLNA supported device in order to connect my SMART TV to the 5 Ghz network?

I use a Time Capsuel to create a network. Then, I use Plex media server on a PC and stream video from the TC harddrive to the plex app in the TV. Previously, from time to time, it has been slow, but most of the time it worked (1080p). My knowledge of network & stuff like this is limited...
The problem:
My Smart TV (Samsung ue46es6715) does not connect to the network's 5 Ghz band any more. It connects to the 2,4 Ghz sometimes. It does not find the 5Ghz network anymore.
Info from Samsung Support:
According to samsung support, I need a DLNA certified router. They say it is a compability problem without the DLNA support. So, samsung suppport claim this is the reason why I cannot connect to the 5 Ghz network - the TC does not support DLNA.
Questions:
First of all; Is the samsung support team correct?
2) Shouldn't I be able to connect to the 5 Ghz band in any case?
3 IF the Time Capsuel IS DLNA certified I can view, and stream data, direct from the TC harddrive
4 As the Time Capsule is not DLNA cerified, I need Plex working on a computer in order to stream data from the TC harddrive?
5 Even de fact that the TC does not support DLNA, I should still be able to at least connect the the 5 Ghz band?
Enlighten me please

The TC does not support any media servers.. it is not and never has been a media device. It is as minimal as it can be and offers SMB to windows and AFP to Mac.. and that is the sum total of connections.
DLNA can be supplied to the TV by Plex running on the PC but I am unsure of the setup. You will need to look it up and specifically the issue with samsung TV. Apple of course will never support it.. Apple use iTunes.

Connection to 5ghz depends on setting up the connection in the TC correctly.. you have to realise you are not infact seeing the material on the TC.. you are only networking through the TC. The material is offered to your TV from the PC which is also connected to the TC and I guess using the TC as a filestore.. this is bad btw.. because then all files are streamed from TC--PC--TC---TV, You should use an external drive on the computer.. and share that with the network. Then it goes PC--TC--TV and you stop the double haul out and back to the TC. This is especially important if the PC is connected by wireless. That will reduce speed to a crawl.
5ghz is also poor range.. if the TC is far from the TV do not expect good connection or perhaps any connection.. try it close up to the TC.
Set the 5ghz to SMB standard name.. ie.. short.. 2-20 characters, No spaces and pure alphanumeric. Name should be different to the 2.4ghz name so you can choose it deliberately.
The TC name should also meet SMB standard.

Hi rhiess,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad may not have restored fully. I'd recommend restoring it again with the iPad in recovery mode.
Use the steps in this article to place your iPad in recovery mode:

"Unknown Device" shown when I connect my iPhone 4 to the laptop

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 cannot synchronize to my Windows 7. Only "Unknown Device" shown on the "Device Manager" when I connect them via the cable.
The laptop is new and installed Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit. BIOS is the latest one.
iOS is 4.0 and iTunes is 10.0.1 for 64-bits Windows 7
I do not think the problem is due to the iTunes. Only "Unknown Device" shown on Window 7. I think the iPhone cannot be recognized by the laptop.I tried to connect the phone to a Window XP. It is fine. Likewise, a usb drive is recognize by the Windows 7 laptop.
I have tried
1. update the BIOs
2. Re-install the itunes
3. download the usbaapl.sys
Can anyone help as it bother me for a week.
Thanks very much
Ben

The first thing I would try is to use a different USB port
next I would have my MacbookAir looked at

Hi,
as far as i know, there�s only one possibility to create a .m3g-file and that�s not a cheap one. You have to buy,
steal, copy or whatever a plug-in called "Swerve Studio" for 3dsMAX. Build your content with 3dsMAX and
export it than as .m3g.
Hope that helps a bit

I need an HP Support Chat Session but it isn't on offer on the HP website

I have had some very helpful Chat Sessions with HP technicians, about replacing the DVD driver in my Pavilion Touch Smart 15. They have now sent me the wrong size of replacement drive. I need to have another Chat Session to pursue this, but it is no longer on offer on the Support page of the website - the only thing on offer is this Forum! What should I do?
Thanks. DaCu

Try the following Contact HP web document. You will have to enter the product number manually. See your notebook's HP Support Assistant or BIOS system information for the product number.

I need 11.8.800.168 in order to work with SMART Notebook, but 11.9 is forced

I need the older version 11.8 as the new version of Flash Player disrupts my ability to provide training for SMART Notebook, however when I try to install the older version I see an error message stating that it is not the latest version and can therefore not be installed.
I have removed all other versions from my computer which runs on Windows 7.
All my students (teachers) encounter the same problem and now the teaching software stops teachers from using their prepared lessons. This is an urgent problem.
Please advise

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can download Adobe Flash Player 11.8 from the Archive Document : Archived Flash Player versions - Adobe
Also to remove the latest version of Flash Player you may use Flash Player Uninstaller : uninstaller
Thanks,

Need to send a email alert in PI 7.1 to user outside the intranet network

Hi,
How can I forward an alert from my alert inbox to a thirdparty user through email? Thirdparty user belongs to different network.

Hi Arindam,
One of the solution to your problem is as mentioned below.
1) Use RFC lookup in your mapping. Tell ABAP person to create a RFC for mail triggering. Or you can use standard RFC from ABAP for mail sending.
2) Once the value(Mail ID) will come in Message mapping, call the RFC lookup which will intern call the Mail sending RFC.
3) This way mail will be triggered from XI and will be sent from the ABAP system where the RFC is located. Just check whether in ABAP SMTP is there so you can send mail to external ID.

HT1212 When I connect to Itunes it states the device needs to be unlocked ?

Anyone know how to stop Itunes checking for a password, I have a IPOD touch Disabled (stating connect to Itunes) and Itunes show it cannot talk the the device becuase it is locked

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

TS3510 I have 3 different apple devices using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

I found this on a related question in the Community:
Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
Take a look at this for more information.
The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern. If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

Jabber supported devices

I don't see the Samsung Tab2's or Tab4's on the list of supported devices. Are they supported? if so, is there an updated list for me to view?

The RNs contain the list of tested and supported devices, anything not listed, *might* work if you meet the necessary specs.

How do I get all my devices on the same network?

I recently purchased a 6th generation Airport Extreme to support the Wi-Fi demands of my household. Between streaming on Netflix, downloading games on Steam, and reading our emails, my household is no lightweight in Wi-Fi usage. We have 17 devices in total for the household which we have connected to the Wi-Fi, but not all of them are connected at the same time.
I would like to connect all of them to the main network of the router, so that I could enable file sharing on all of them, but unfortunately, this isn't working as intended. I will abbreviate the name of my networks as "MN" for main network and "GN" for guest network.
There are a few of my devices which do not want to work with the MN, so I have them on the GN so that they are still connected to the internet. Whenever I connect some devices, it will attach to the network just fine, but trying to send or receive data packets the device usually stays loading for a few minutes before it says it cannot connect to the network.
What are some troubleshooting tips that I can use to have all of my devices connect to the same MN?
I've tried messing with the router settings a little bit, but if you have any suggestions, whether I do it on my devices I want to connect to the router, or change the settings on the router itself, I am open to suggestions as I cannot figure this out, even with some detailed googling. Thank you in advance for any help that you give. If you need more details about the devices or router, I am definitely available for that.

Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
I'll do an example for iMessage:
1) Go to settings on your iOS device
2) Select "Messages"
3) Select "Send & Receive"
4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

TS3253 Is my original iPad compatible with iHome DM12 wireless speaker. I am having trouble with pairing. The iPad sees the device but does not connect

Is my original iPad compatible with iHome iDM12 wireless speakers? I am having trouble pairing. iPad sees device but does not connect.

It should be it the iHome supports the bluetooth profiles that the iPod supports. See:
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Try resetting the iHome if it was previusly paired to another device.

NH1005, only one device at a time connects to internet

I just switched my net to suddenlink cable (4mb/down, 512k/up) from a 756k clearwire broadband connection. I'm using the same network setup as before, all my machines set to auto-acquire IP and DNS addresses. Now though, I can only get on the internet with one device at a time, the other machines cannot find the DHCP server. I thought my NH1005 router had gone nuts, but that wasnt the case, went and got a new one at walmart and it does the same crap.. tried as well to access my router via 192.168.1.1, and even went in and tried using my gateway address to access my router.. both failed. I'm at a loss for what to do, especially seeing as how my old ISP just WORKED when i plugged it all in. Yes, i've reset my modem and all that stuff, many times, just at the end of my rope here. BTW my machines are a winXP laptop, and 2 playstation2's running Final Fantasy XI online.

hi..it seems that you have got a cable modem..and as NH1005 is a hub , only one computer can get connected at a time....
multiple computers can go online only if the hub is connected to a router...

My customized external device(having SSP BT profile) doesnt support iOS support bluetooth profiles, so i need to join MFi program.Does MFi program hepls to support SPP profile or i need to change my devices BT profile.

MFi program will support my SPP profile or they will help to make my device to support the iOS defined profiles.

Apple has not released an iOS update for the 2G iPod in over two years so I doubt there will be any more updates.

DLNA support for the TC

I use my TC for wireless backup and I also use the file sharing feature to transfer iTunes library / movies between it and my MB Air because the Air's SDD is not large enough to sync with all my movies. This works great as I change them out when traveling. I want to be ble to stream to my Apple TV or smart TV but can't do either due to the lack of DLNA support making it useless for steaming! The TV is fine I get that as it isn't Apple but not being able to stream too Apple's own TV device is ridiculous? I get that Apple may want the internal HDD for backups only but that is no reason why it shouldn't support DLNA for an external HDD or Apple should make Apple TV able to access the file share just like my Mac's do.
Does anyone know if there is a work around for this to achieve? If not then it's going back and I'll pickup a router and an external WD NAS to attach and save some cash in the process. I just like the idea of everything being all in one for this device!

Apple has their iTunes as a standard. And with that protected copyright so they are never going to allow DLNA to be used. They do not support any media servers in the TC.. never have and I suspect never will. People have found ways around it.. but you always need a player, eg WD TV, which can stream movies from raw files. Or you can use airplay for a device on the network to the ATV.. but ATV is also only a streamer.. the brains of the operation has to be somewhere else. ie itunes running on a computer.
You are trying to mix and match.. and that is something Apple will not allow.. you either go for the apple system.. or not. There is no half way mixed up approach.

Do I need a DLNA supported device in order to connect my SMART TV to the 5 Ghz network?
