Does the channel used by Airport Supreme cause problems?

I have problems with my wireless system using the Airport Supreme on my Mac Pro.  Streaming movies and internet use on my iPad cut off and often I find that my internet service is down.  I need to contact the cable company which resets the modem. The Tech at the cable company tells me the problem is that my Airport Supreme is on a channel where there is interference and the channel needs to be changed.  Does this make sense.  If so, how does one change the channel, and how do you know what different channel to use?

I answered on your main thread.. where I already answered.
Changing channels is not relevant.. as soon as you reboot the main router or the AE it will auto select channels that are not going to interfere.. you are being kept in the dark and fed bulldust.. (this is called the mushroom syndrome)  but please answer the questions in the thread.
Does this make sense.
No
If so, how does one change the channel
Just so you know.. go to wireless options.. and change the channel from auto.. to a number.
how do you know what different channel to use?
Trial and error.. test 2.4ghz on 11, 9, 6, 1
The reason even a wireless survey is useless is because every time a router tests wireless it can change channels.. every time it restarts it picks the channel least used. There is no such thing as a best channel.. for all time.. because all the routers in your area are playing musical channels. Everytime you check it can be different.

  • Does the iPhone use a lot of data?

    I'm planning to get an iPhone from AT&T, and here's how I want it:
    AT&T Family Plan (550 minutes) with 2 lines
    Messaging 1000
    2 GB data package for iPhone
    The second line won't have the messaging or the data plan and will most likely have a basic phone.
    But here's what I'm kind of concerned about: how much data does the iPhone use on average? Will 2 GB be enough?
    Also, as a subtopic, how does the messaging 1000 plan work? Does it mean that I can send 1000 texts/pics and also receive 1000 texts/pics, or is it 500 each? What about for 2 GB data? How does that work?
    This last question may be a stupid question, but will the two lines share the same phone number, or will each get a different number?

    You can use this to estimate your data usage,

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • Is it possible to access my DVR from the Internet using an Airport Express and Airport Extreme?

    I would like to use my Airport Express to connect to my DVR and use it to access the Internet by setting it up to wireless extend my Airport Extreme network?
    This would allow me great flexibility to place the DVR wherever I wanted.  I would create a static IP address for the DVR but would I also have to create one for the Airport Express as well?  What would I put as my Gateway address?  Would it be the IP address of the Airport Extreme or the Airport Express?
    Looking forward to the advice to see if this is possible...

    It may not be compatible with the iPad. See below for reference.
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

  • I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network.  What do?

    I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference.  Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network.  What do I do?

    I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.

    Hi,
    Use to this BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK and provide the material no as the input. you can check whether that material exists or not.
    Also if you want to check the details of a particular material you can use BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL (For costing you can find the details in Valuation data) and also BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL

  • I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

    I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

    Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

  • Does the adapter use power when there's no phone connected?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering: Does the Apple poweradapter consume electricity, when there's no iPhone (or iPad etc.) connected to it?
    I leave my adapters and cables in a poweroutlet all the time, which I can turn off but I was just curious about this. I read different things all over the internet, so I thought it would be best to ask my question here.
    I have the original Apple 10W adapters, with the lightning usb cable, iPhone 5 and iPad 4. I live in The Netherlands by the way, if that makes any difference.
    Thanks!
    Stefan

    Wall adapters do use a very small amount ... but it is miniscule, and not worth considering.   Though I suppose there would be an unacceptable loss in 'green' eyes if there were 10,000 of them connected.

  • Does the ODM using PL/SQL require the JVM?

    Does the database need to have the the Java Virtual Machine running in order to use the ODM PL/SQL calls?
    Is it true that $20k/cpu is required to use ODM?

    Using ODM PL/SQL api does not require JVM installed in the database.
    In 10.1 release, the installation of ODM product which included Java api and PL/SQL api requires JVM to be installed in the database. In 10.2 release, this requirement is no longer existed.
    For ODM license fee questions, please contact Oracle sales staff.

  • Can someone please tell me how to change the channel on my airport express?

    Hi, I have airport utility version 6.0...
    I have replaced my airport express & the new signal keeps dropping out on the new one when I try to listen to music through airplay.
    I realise this is a basic question, but I'm about to throw the thing out the window.

    In Airport Utility 6.0, you need to click on Wireless Options button to bring up the channel selections...
    See this....
    If you don't want it on "Automatic", try choosing a channel and see how that works.
    If that doesn't work, then try a different channel

  • Does the 5s use the same case as the 5?

    Does anyone know if the 5s uses the same cases as the 5?  Just trying to get a head start.:-}

    The 5 and the 5S have essentially the same physical configurations in termns of size, so yes, in most instances a case designed for the 5 should work on the 5s.
