Does Airport Express really communicate the same speed to both Mac and non-Mac devices?

Okay, so to fully understand my situation, here's a briefing: Our old Netgear router was not pushing nearly the speeds we were paying for (we pay for 30 and were getting 10-15 max, usually much less). I recently got an iMac which means that all of my devices are now Apple made, so I decided to get an Airport Express to hopefully improve our wireless speeds. I set it up with the modem going in the WAN port and the old router attached to the LAN port so that it could still act as an ethernet hub for the few hard-wired devices knocking around. I set up both a network and a guest network, with our original one still active through the Netgear router.
I get 45 Mbps from the new network on my iMac, but my roommate is only getting around 9. If he connects to the old one, he caps out at about 25. Is the wireless card in his PC just not capable of receiving more than that? He insists that since it's an Apple router it is not as compatable with non-Apple products. Interestingly, I get faster speeds on my iPhone from the guest network than I can from either the new or old main networks in our house.
I know this is a really long question, but has anyone had this same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also: isn't the wireless speed of the old Netgear router still basically being pushed through the Airport Express, as it's the only thing connected directly to the modem? Are there any settings I can change to make everything run smoothly? If the PC, Android phones, etc can connect to the new network at the same speed as my Apple products, then we can eliminate the old network altogether if that will help.

I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
Hope this is useful to someone else

  • Does Pool & Cluster tables has the same structure in both Dictionary and Db

    ------------ Exists with the same structure both in dictionary as well as in database exactly with the same data and fields
    a. Pool Table
    b. Cluster Table
    c. Transparent Table
    d. All the above
    To my knowledge, I know transparent table has the same structure in both Dictionary and database.
    Can anyone tel me the answer for the above question.. whether it is
    c. Transparent table
    or
    d. All the above

    Transparent Table:
    A physical table definition in the database for the table definition which is stored in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables when the
    table is activated. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.
    A transparent table in the dictionary has one to one relationship with a table in the database.
    For each transparent table in the data dictionary there is one associated table in the database.The database table has the same name, the same number of fields and fields have same names as the transparent table definition. Transparent tables are used to hold application data. Application data is master data or transaction data used by an application.
    e.g. master data - table of customers
    Transaction data - order placed by the customers.
    Pooled tables:
    Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences,program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be
    combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooledtables are stored.
    Pooled table in R/3 has a many to one relationship with a table in the database. For one table in the database there are many tables in the R/3 data dictionary.R/3 uses pooled tables to hold large number of very small tables. You might create a table pool if yoou need to create hundreds of small tables that each hold only a few rows of data.
    Cluster tables :
    Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example, documentation.Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Severallogical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record in this table type. This permits object-by-object storage or
    object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, atleast parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in
    one corresponding table on the database.
    A cluster table is similar to pool table . It has many to one relationship with the table in the database.
    They are used to hold the data from a few(approximatelly 2 to 10) very large tables. They would be used when these tables have a part of their primary keys in common and if data in these tables are all accessed simultaneously.A cluster is advantageous in the case where data is accessed from multiple tables simultaneously and those tables have at least one of their primary key fields in common.Cluster table reduce number of database reads and thereby improves performance.

  • Ethernet Internet & Airport Express Printing at the same time

    Ok Guys:
    My 18 year old cousin is going off to University this fall, and she will be taking her iMac G5 and a new Macbook with her. She wants to set up her canon printer wirelessly by using an Airport Express. Assuming her Internet access is by ethernet, provided in each residence room by the university, can she also setup an Airport Express to use for wireless printing at the same time? In other words will the following scenario work?
    Network 1: Ethernet Internet (provided by the University)
    AND (at the same time)
    Network 2 : Wireless printing network by Airport Export Express.
    Thanks.

  • I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

    i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
    it is all so confusing i need help!!!

    You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

  • How do I set the same DNS for both Extreme and Express?

    I have an Airport Express that is configured to extend the network created and routed through my AirPort Extreme. However, when I connect to the network from the room where the Extreme is, I need to have the automatic DNS in place in order to connect. If, later, I want to connect to the same network from another room through the Express that is extending it, I must replace the automatic DNS with 4.2.2.4 or there is no internet connection. I was wondering if anybody could walk me through properly configuring the devices to avoid having to change DNS when I move elsewhere in the house that is not directly covered by the Extreme main base. I am only experiencing these issues with my iPads, by the way. hank you.

    No need to manually set DNS on any of the extending devices.....that is handled automatically during the setup.
    The real issue here is not DNS.....it is that iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad do not usually switch wireless access points automatically when there are multiple devices delivering a wireless signal.
    The iOS devices tend to connect to the first wireless router that they see.....and if you move the iOS device near another wireless access point that has a much better signal......the iOS device will stubbornly try to hold onto the original wireless access point.
    Not much that you can do about that.....nature of beast with iOS devices due to their much simpler operating systems and antenna.
    If you want to move the iPhone or iPad to another area, try turning off Wi-Fi on the device, then move it to the other area near another access point, wait a minute or two, and then turn WiFi back on.  That will usually force the iOS device to pick up the signal from the closer AirPort access point.
    By contrast, a Mac computer will automatically switch wireless access points as you "walk" it through the house to pick up the access point with the strongest signal. That is the way that iOS should work as well, but we'll have to wait to see if Apple ever delivers on this.
    Lately....maybe due to an update....my iPhone will sometimes switch to a closer access point after a few minutes.  My MacBook Pro switches quickly and automatically as soon as it moves closer to another wireless access point as I walk it down the hall.

  • HT1515 Can I use two Airport Express, one being the connection to my Internet Provider and the second one, being an extension to my wifi?

    I would like to know if with them I could use one Airport Express as the connection point to my ISP and the second one, just to extend the wifi range. Anyone knows about this ?

    Yes you can.
    But, remember that the AirPort Express is a router only. It does not have a modem on board, so you will need a modem to connect to your ISP.
    Then, connect one Express to the modem and configure it to "create" a wireless network".
    Configure the second Express to "extend" a wireless network.

  • How to track the same session using both jsp and servlets

    Hello, guys:
    "how to use jsp and servlet to track the same session",

    Here is how I set my session in my servlets:
    "     HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
    session.setAttribute("userid",suserid);"
    Here is how I invalidate my session in my logoff.jsp

    So,
    <%@ page session="false"%>
    That means the jsp never instantiates the build in session object.
    <%@ page session="true"%>
    means jsp will instantiates a session object if there are no existing ones
    how about I just delete the line,
    does that mean the jsp will find the existing session object for me?
    So I can do something like
    Our Session id is : <%= session.getId() %>
    <% session.removeAttribute("userid");
    session.invalidate();
    %>
    directly.

  • Using the same client for both regfree and out-of-proc COM

    Hi,
    Here is the context:
    1. We have the same set of COM objects that can be deployed as in-proc COM servers (dlls) or out-of-proc COM servers (exe).  In-proc servers are called through regfree COM.
    2. We have test projects that use the in-proc COM servers through regfree COM.
    I would like to use the same test client projects for both regfree and out-of-proc COM servers (but not at the same time). For example, I would like to first run the client using regfree COM, then delete the in-proc dll and register the out-of-proc com server,
    and then run the client again without having to recompile.  But I have not found a way to do this.
    Instead, what I have to do is modify the project settings of the test client project, removing the regfree stuff (the manifest dependencies) before I can use the test client project with the out-of-proc server.
    Is there a way to do this without recompiling?
    FYI, I have tried regfree COM by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Linker->Manifest file->Additional Manifest Dependencies, or by changing the client project's Project->Properties->Manifest Tool->Input and Output->Additional
    Manifest Files.  Either way works with regfree COM.  And either way I have to remove those settings before making it work with out-of-proc COM (and hence recompiling, which is what I am trying to avoid).
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Try Manifest Tool > Input and Output > Embed Manifest = No, and change Linker > Manifest File > Manifest File to drop ".intermediate" in the middle (or just rename the file after the build).
    A manifest doesn't have to be embedded into the executable, it could be a standalone file named like ApplicationName.exe.manifest and sitting in the same directory next to the .EXE. Then you can simply delete or rename it back and forth to switch between
    registered and reg-free COM.

  • Can I sync the same ipod with a PC and a Mac?

    I have been syncing with my MacBook, and now would like to sync also with my PC. Can this be done?

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats): How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and reformat the iPod on your PC. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac. Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac, in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews. It's a commercial program so you'll have to purchase a license to use it:: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • If you're getting your first iPhone 5, does it have to have the same carrier as your computer and T.V. at your house? Or could you get a different, cheaper carrier instead?

    I'm hopefully getting an iPhone 5 soon, & I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the phone because I heard that AT&T is more expensive than the other carriers. At my house (for our computer & TV) we have AT&T. So, I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the iPhone instead of AT&T.

    The iPhone is avaialble in the U.S. with the following major carriers:

  • ITunes recognizes one Airport Express but not the other

    I have two Airport Express and have updated both with V6.3. Now when I try to connect iTunes to the stereos to which they are connected, one works fine, the other says "The remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes 6.05.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered myself. Both Airport Express were sharing the same IP address. Changed one over and now everything works fine.

  • Same tax code to inventorise and non-inventorise the excise

    hi
    My client want to use the same tax code to inventorise and non-inventorise the excise values.
    Requirement is as follows:-
    two plants- plant1 is excisable and plant2 is in excise free zone.
    tax code is T1 - 16 % BED + 2% ECS  + 1% SEcess
    they want to take the cenvat credit in case of plant 1 while doing procurement
    ans want to inventorise the excise on material cost in case of plant 2.
    I suggested them to use two different tax codes in which one is having the non inventorise condition types and other is having the inventorise condition types.
    but they want to use the same tax code
    Is it possible to do this ??
    Regards
    Anin

    Hello Anis,
    Use two different Tax code. Let's A for used as dedectable Tax(Convet Benefit)
    A should have Coditions like this 
    Deduct able tax:-
              JMOP    - IN BED Settoff %
              JEC1     - A/P Edu. Cess Settoff
              JSEP     - IN A/P H Ecess Setoff
              JVRD   - A/P VAT RM Deductable
    Also maintain its settoff 100% for all the condition Type.
    JMX1 --     IN: A/P BED setoff
    JEX1 ---      Ecess Setoff Sta
    JHX1     IN: A/P SECess SOTot
    Now for Non-deductable Tax(Inventrised) suppose ur Tax Code B
    B should have condition Like this
    JMIP   - IN BED
    JEC2 - A/P ECESS
    JSEI - H Ecss
    JVRN - Vat
    maintain the percentage in FV12.
    Now for CENVAT benefit, in J1ID, maintain Material And the Plant both for whom you want the benefit
    Hope Solve U !

  • Poor network speed with 1st generation time capsule and multiple airport express 5Ghz. My network speed slows to a crawl when not close to the time capsule. I get the range that I need, but the speed is painfully slow.

    Hello,
    I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
    After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
    In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
    As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
    Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
    Unfortunately, no.

  • Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

    Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

    I got an additional question bout this topic:
    is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
    so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...
