Does having a guest network decrease the power of the main network?

I set up a guest network when I set up my Airport Extreme ... not sure why I did this exactly. I have moved into a larger home and now have some issues with the router reaching the entire unit. (It does actually cover it all ... but very weak in the farthest areas from the router.) Does the guest network take power away from the primary network. In other words, if I reset the router without the guest network, would I be better off?
THANKS.

When you enable the Guest network, the bandwidth is split between the Main and Guest networks, so performance wise, it would make sense to only use the Guest network feature when you really have "guests".
Now, if you turn the Guest network off...whether you will actually "see" any improvement is open to question. Worth a try.
To turn off the Guest Network....
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Guest Network tab below the row of icons
Remove the check mark next to "Enable Guest Network"
Click Update to save the changes and the AirPort will restart in 25-30 seconds.
If you need more wireless coverage, you might want to look at adding another AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless signal.

I pod touch 5th generation was working fine (Not sure what the last ios i downloaded was it should be ios 8 or higher). The battery died so i charged it. Now that it is charged when i hold the power button the screen turns dark blue as if it's powering on and the apple logo is about to appear but it never does nor do any other type of images on the screen. If i hold the home button Siri will say "Siri is not available please connect to internet" but there is still no image on the screen. I've tried holding down the home and power button it restart it but doing this just gave me the same results. How do i fix this problem? What's wrong with my i pod?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does iPad suddenly turn off at 40% power and the power bar is almost gone. Then when I plug it in the power bar goes back up to 40%

My iPad has suddenly started turning itself off at 40% power as indicated at the top right corner.. The power bar is almost down to nothing (like 1%) when it shows up as it is turning off. When I plug it in, the power in the top right corner shows 40%.

Hi vanessato,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone does not turn on.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

Omni10(5600US) cannot turn on the power of the panel

Hello HP support.
Now, I'm facing one critical issue.
So, please help to resolve it.
The issue is display power trouble.
I bought Omni10(5600US) in June.
And it had operated properly until last month.
But in the last month, omni10 becomes that the power of the panel does not turn on.
At first, I doubt that it does not have enough battery power to operate.
But It did not operate correctly after charging the battery.
So, I tried some action.
And according to the reaction of Omni10, I doubt that BIOS and operating system still work but display does not work.
Because when I push power button, Omni10 is vibrated.
And also, when I touch windows mark, Omni10 is vibrated.
But I don't know how to recover the issue like that.
So, please let me know how to recover it.
Best Regards,

Hey @SmallAcorn ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the display of your Omni 10 tablet is no longer working.
If nothing is displayed on the screen try holding the power button for 8+ seconds to perform a hard reset. If the tablet still does not display anything after this please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

The Magsafe autoswitches based on detected power. You will likely need a wall adapter to alter ther US-based 3-prong to whatever is used in China.

Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

I suggest charging it for several hours, then trying again.

If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

I have exactly the same problem, which started again yesterday; coincidentally the day my warranty ran out!
The situation is complicated for me because I live in rural lincolnshire, but was in London all summer and had a new logic board replaced under warranty last month at the London- Stratford store.
It seems the £400 logic board replacement didn't fix it. When I try to get support, the website just laughs at me and holds out the cup for more money. I had a chat with somebody in the store this evening and I've got to take it into a store AGAIN!
Perusal of the 'Support' pages turns up literally thousands of people who have this or similar faults, all the way back to 2006, and I've not seen anything yet indicating that Apple have got a grip of it.
I've been using Apple kit for 16 years now and I've never had any trouble until now, but this bloody laptop, which is no better than my iMac now for portability has let me down badly several times in the last 6 weeks.
I'm really hacked off with this, get your **** together Apple!

My 2008 15" macbook pro would not start up. After pushing the power button, the startup tone sounded, but kept repeating as if something was jammed. Screen remained black with no logo nor messages. Pls help.

Now that you mentioned it, that might be the source of the problem. Something was definitely wrong with my graphics card before the incident happened. You mean that particular batch of graphics cards had some inherent issues, right? I went to the genius bar, and the 'genius' there, without trying to diagnose the problem properly, just adviced me to buy a new mbp! He said Apple will no longer try to fix or touch macs older than 5 yrs. Mine is 5.5 yrs old...

My Mac won't fully start up.. I push the power button, the apple sign pops up and the loading circle and then a bar loading and as soon as the bar is done loading the computer cuts off again. It's like it attempts to start up like it's updating something
