Does the ethernet port work when the using airport express in client mode?
I am considering using an airport express to extend my existing wireless network to a room where I can't get a cable to.
I will need to connect a at least 3 devices to the airport express.
The questions are:
- is an airport express the right answer to this problem?
- if so, does the ethernet port work (AE on client mode) as a passthru into the main network?
- can I plug a hub to it?
Thanks
RFSF
Hi Tesserax,
Really appreciate you taking time to respond.
I stopped by the Apple store this weekend and one of their sales people ( not one of their genius bar people) told me NO to all questions. I tend to believe more answers from people in this forum but just realize that I have not mentioned one possibly important point:
the main AP to which I will be connecting the airport express is not an Airport Extreme/Express AP.
Thanks,
Ricardo.

Thinkpad W530: None of the USB ports work when used with a 4338-35U replicator
I have tried mouse. keyboard and a generic USB stick with a LED. None of the USB ports work on the replicator. Everything works fine when connected directly to the W530. The replicator ports must not have power because the LED doesn't come on.
Hi mmjmm123,
How long have you had your replicator?
Has it always been like this?
This link is to the Lenovo User's Guide for replicators:

Scroll to Chapter 5 for troubleshooting procedures.
Replicators do have limitations which can be found here:

Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off
why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is turned off works fine when on most other phones work when off
The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

Does the HDMI port work on the Cisco set top box?
I just bought a new tv (LG model 24MA31D) and the Verizon tech hooked up the FIOS set top box to it using the composite cables that came with it. The tv only has one set of ports for the 5 cables. To use my Wii I have to either trade out all the cables each time or use a 4-device component video selector I bought at Best Buy. The guy at BB said if the set top box has an HDMI port then I can just connect it to the tv with an HDMI cable and leave the Wii connected via cables.
I've seen some discussion on here that the HDMI doesn't really work on the set top box. Is this true? Sure would be nice to have fewer cables and one less electronic device. Thanks in advance for your help!You didn't tell us which model of Cisco STB you have; however chances are very good that the HDMI port works and works well.
Don't by HDMI cables at Best Buy. You can find them online for 1/10th the price. No need to pay for gold plating, all it does is gold plate some rich guy's pocket.
Buy a HDMI cable or three and don't look back.
Good Luck.

I downloaded firefox in order to do some online training that I couldn't open in any other browser. I can't get the volume to work in this browser. I can use internet explorer and the volume works. But I can only do the training through firefox.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

I just bought an Airport Extreme. Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet. When I open airport utility it tells me device is not connected yet my internet still works. Was the rep wrong about speeding up my internet or is it not compatible with my isp unit?
Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.
Sorry, but this is not correct. Your Internet connection speed is established by the plan that you have with your Internet Service Provider. The AirPort Extreme will not "speed it up".
Unless there is some special feature that the AirPort Extreme provides that you need, adding another wireless router...when you already have one.... is not going to buy you anything.
The AirPort Extreme is compatible with your modem/router if you want to continue to try to hook it up. It will really help if you have a Mac for the configuration as the Windows Firewall often blocks connection and configuration attempts. -
Does the iPhone alarm work when the phone is turned off?

How does the blend move work when the constant velocity profile is not reached?
Hi,
In my application I have to blend several moves with the same velocity and acceleration on only one axis.
In the LabView help it is said that "A blend factor of –1 causes the pending move to start when the existing move finishes its constant velocity segment and starts to decelerate, as shown in the following figure. "
However, if the trajectory parameters are such that the constant velocity segment is never reached (for instance, because during the acceleration segment the target positon is reached), how does the blend motion vi behave? I have looked everywhere and could not find an answer.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you in advance,
João Barata
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi,
the blending starts as soon as the deceleration ramp starts. In the case that the constant velocity is never reached, the deceleration ramp starts exactly in the middle of the move (assuming that the values for acceleration and deceleration are the same), so you end up with a triangular velocity profile instead of a trpezoidal velocity profile. That means, it could never happen, that the target position is reached during the acceleration ramp.
I hope that helps,

I can't create a hyperlink in a text box that works in pre-view on the iPad. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Bob
when I add another text box within the text place holder in order to create a picture frame
You can add a frame image itself - no need to use text box... but if you must.. you are better using Shapes as image placeholders. Conversly - you can add text to Shapes!
Text boxes and shapes are treated differently by the Inspector when opting to use in a way that Apple did not think you would do!
Hyperlinks are best made in its own text box and nothing else added. make another text box.. input content and align to choice, remember ARRANGE move to front pust one text box above the other and allows you to juggle placing your content on the page.

Does a minidisplay port work for the mid2011 mac?
Please help i bought a minidisplay port for mac but it wont work, is it because i got the new iMac (mid 2011) ?
No.

Does connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disable the Ethernet ports?
I've been trying to connect my TC wireless to a D-Link router/cable modem provided by Virgin Media. I have successfully enabled the TC to join my wireless network, and can successfully print from my USB printer, and back up my laptop using Time Machine.
However, when I connected my network laser printer to an Ethernet port on the TC, I could not print to it, or even see it on the network. (Naturally, it worked fine connected to the D-Link, or I would not be posting...)
To test my theory, we connected the TC to the D-Link by wire instead. Voila, we can print to the network printer even while it's connected to the TC.
So, can anyone confirm that connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disables the Ethernet ports?
If so, can anyone explain why a £300+ device would do something so daft?
Cheers,
AegremSo, can anyone confirm that connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disables the Ethernet ports?
When the TC is configured to "join a wireless network", it becomes a wireless client of the network and does not perform any routing functions, so the etherent ports are not enabled in this type of configuration.
IF...you were using an Apple"n" router as your main base station or router, you could configure the TC to "extend a wireless network", providing more wireless coverage and also enablling the ethernet ports. But, the "extend" feature will only work among Apple devices. Or more correctly, we're not aware of any other devices from any other manufacturers that are compatible with this feature. -
The ethernet port on the thunderbolt display is not working
The ethernet is working when the cable is connected directly to my mac laptop but when connected the thunderbolt display there is no connection. Is there some type of set up for the ethernet connection or can this port just be broken?
Thanks for the help!Afterthought on an older post: it isn't immediately clear that the Ethernet port on the Thunderbolt Display works through the "Display Ethernet" interface, rather than through the "Thunderbolt Ethernet" interface. The latter was already present in the list of network interfaces in Network Preferences, while the former had to be added via the + button --- at least that was the case when I installed the TB display to work with my 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina this week.
The AppleCare rep didn't know the difference either and agreed with me that it was puzzling that using the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter on the Thunderbolt port of the display did work, wheras using the Ethernet port directly didn't (even though there were lights flashing on the Ethernet port of that other computer I tried to connect to in Internet Sharing mode). Close reading of the above posts made me go look for that mysterious "Display Ethernet" interface... thank you Clinton! -
When using an airport extreme to extend a wireless modern, will the lan ports work?
When using an airport extreme to extend a wireless modern, will the lAN ports work?
The AirPort Extreme can extend the wireless signal from another Apple wireless router. When it does, the Ethernet ports on the extending AirPort router are enabled.
Apple's "extend" feature appears to be a proprietary Apple function, so it would be extremely unlikely that an AirPort Extreme...or any other Apple router....could extend a 3rd party router product wirelessly....if that is really what you are asking here.
