Dual network problem - trouble seeing B/G network in farthest location

My iPhone and MacBook Pro cannot see the B/G network in the room farthest from the main base station, even though there is an AEX in the room set up to provide internet and Airtunes.
My set up is:
N network - 2 AEBSn base stations
B/G network - 1 AEBS (connected by ethernet to the main AEBSn) and 3 AEX's
I tried to follow the directions for setting up a dual network and think I have done it correctly. But even though I receive a strong N-network signal in the farthest room, I cannot see the B/G network at all, it just seems to disappear.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks HPM2.
I guess third times a charm. The hard reset of the AEBS finally worked and Airport Utility recognized it and I set it up to join my existing network as a WDS remote.
It works well, but every time I try to access the newly added AEBS b/g via Airport Utility, I get asked for my keychain access and then for the AEBS b/g password. I established the AEBS password during the Airport Utility setup, but now it is not recognized and is not even in my Keychain Access Utility. I selected the "remember keychain" checkbox during the set up too.
Any ideas on this keychain issue?
Thanks again,
Mr. Hand

  • Lackluster Dual Network Setup - HELP!

    Here's my setup:
    DSL
    I
    I
    AXBS (UFO) 2.4Ghz b/g --> PowerBook G4 (10.4.11); iPhone (Original)
    I
    I
    Time Capsule 5Ghz n (Bridged) --> MacBook Pro (10.5.4); MacBook (10.4.11 - n enabled)
    The Time Capsule's Strength and Range is suppose to far exceed that of the older Base Station. When I'm near the location of the two transmitters the 5Ghz n is barely twice as fast as the 2.4Ghz b/g (tested with large file transfers between the 2 newer laptops, and then file transfers between the MacBook Pro and the older Powerbook). When I'm farther away the 5Ghz n drops away and the 2.4Ghz b/g remains relatively strong. Switching between the two networks when I'm at a distance strangely still shows full solid bars for both networks.
    So does anyone have any suggestions or further question that might help me improve the speed and range of the newer Time Capsule? Thanks

    Just to update everyone:
    Today I moved my whole dual network setup to a more centrally located spot in the house. This has definitely improved the coverage of the 2 network bands (n & b/g).
    Additionally, since I only recently acquired the TC, I originally just added ("bridged") it off of my existing b/g network. With todays move, I decided to switch the 2 base stations and have the TC and its' "n" network the first connection off of the DSL router. Then reconfigured the older ABS Extreme (UFO) to "bridge" off the the TC. While I am convinced that I did not originally have the 2 networks co-mingled (as early speed tests confirmed), I seem to be experiencing improved internet speeds in the 5Ghz ("n") network. Could this be due to no longer "bridging" the TC through the older ABS Extremes' internal Ethernet switch?
    As per Tesserax suggestion, I then did a Signal-to-Noise ration (SNR) survey of the house, and came up with some good results based on the SNR Guidelines in Tesserax comments above.
    35 to 45 SNR throughout most of the house. About 25 SNR just outside in the patio where I was barely getting a connection before. Things have definitely improved. And I am very pleased. Clearly network speed is the advantage of 802.11n technology.
    Nevertheless, my original observation still seems to apply. Here's why: Detached from the house is the garage and an office. As I moved out toward the office during the SNR survey (about 50 ft. away), the strength of the 5Ghz ("n") network dramatically dropped off, and was eventually non-existent inside the office. Yet I could switch over to the 2.4Ghz ("b/g") network and easily browse the internet.
    Apple's marketing claims "AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of previous-generation 802.11g wireless networks — while achieving up to twice the range."
    Now I fully accept, as Apples' footnote states, "Based on a comparison with Apple's 802.11g products. Comparison assumes AirPort Extreme network with 802.11n-enabled computer. Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort- or AirPort Extreme-enabled computer or other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a/b/g-enabled computer. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions." If "site conditions" are limiting the range of the 5Ghz band, why aren't those same site conditions limiting the 2.4Ghz band as well. While I don't realistically expect a full doubling of range between the 2 bands, couldn't I expect SOME? Otherwise the marketing claims are meaningless.
    Can the disparity be explained by Tesserax' observation above, "we know the stricter the wireless security employed, the more overhead is "eating away" the overall bandwidth so we would expect poorer performance when using WPA2 vs. WEP." Now the TC only has WPA2 security available. Are we to assume that Apple's range claims do not apply to the TC then? If I switch my older ABS Extreme (UFO) from WEP to WPA2 will the result match Apple's marketing claims? I'd rather not chop off my good right leg just so it will match my missing left leg. Perhaps my expectations for 802.11n technology were a little too high. Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy with the results. And I am thankful for Tesserax advise. I also appreciate the fact that I am not (yet) experiencing the difficulties that others here are having with the Time Capsule.
    Ultimately, I assume that picking up an Airport Express "n" will extend the 5Ghz network into the office. Is this correct? If anyone has observations on this or my thoughts above, feel free to share them with the rest of us.

  • HT3728 I have factory reset and firmware updated my airport extreme, but although it should have dual network capacity, I can now only create a single network.. Suggestions please

    I have factory reset the extreme base station and updated firmware, however, now there do not appear to be dual networks. Why is that

    Then you may be possibly referring to the Guest Network option?.....which would not be enabled by default when you reset the device back to default settings.
    You can use AirPort Utility to enable that function.

  • Nokia 701 Restarts when it is in Dual Network Mode

    Hi,
    I owned a 701 since Dec'11, but recently after the latest sw update after some day s it started restarting on its own almost 10 -15 times a day. I able to drill down the root cause after some un-installation and setting changes, It only restarts when its on dual network mode when it tries to switch between 2G to 3G and vice versa.
    Any one has observe this issue & any solution.
    Currently I'm using Airtel network in INDIA.
    For temporary if using either 2G or 3G according to my need due to the issue.
    Thanks,
    Amit.

    i have run memtest for 11 h, no errors. I have tried to higer the volt but it dosen't have anny effect but once i put the vikt to 1.8 and it worked but then the computer got ustable

  • Dual Network ports cRIO-9081

    Hello,
    I am using the cRIO-9081 in an industrial application where we connect a cellular modem into one network port and connect the other port to the client's process control network. 
    A security concern has been raised if whether there is the possiblity we could bridge the two network ports and gain access to the clients process control network. 
    Is there any literature describing the architecture of the dual network methodology in a cRIO-9081 that will put the clients security concerns to rest? From my understanding, one would have to "hack" into the operating system of the controller to be able to bridge the two ports. 
    Cheers,
    Conrad

    I trust you have both adapters on separate subnets.  If so, I also trust the control network already is entirely local.  If not, there's already an entry point or intrusion. 
    Assuming both are true, why would you need cRIO specific documetation?  You're asking a networking question, not a hardware based question.  You can't reach the local network directly.  You'd need to reach it through an accessible network, regardless of device type.  There's really only one thing connecting that cellular network to the local network: the software.  Do you believe you're vulnerable there?

  • Dual network card

    Hello,
    I have a SAP server with a dual network card. I want to use one for SAP for accessing the network and the other one for iSCSI for provisioning more disk space. Is there no way to do this without affecting SAP's performance? If so, this should be considered a major bug...

    Hi
    Unfortunatelly there is no date so far. This is described in SAP Note 1135705.

  • Re: Want to add TC to wireless network but need dual network setup

    Currently, have an older AEBS (b/g) connected to my modem. My G5 is connected to it via an ethernet cable. My Intel iMac is connected wirelessly to the AEBS via an older (b/g) AX which amplifies my signal and is also connected to a stereo system). I have a 1 TB TC and would like to set up a dual network so that I can capitalize on the faster N speeds offered by the TC and backup both computers.
    Modem -> TC -> AEBS -> G5 (by ethernet cable): the b/g network
    TC ->Intel iMac (wireless): the n network.
    Will the older (b/g) AX work with iTunes on both computers? Which network should it be a part of?
    And how does this dual network configuration work for backing up both computers? Anyone have something similar? Will Airport Utility do this or do I need to do it manually?

    Thanks for pointing out that my AEBS needs to be in Bridge mode and for clarifying that AirTunes will work on either network.
    Any experience with using TC as a backup on a dual network?
    I wonder how many out there have taken advantage of third party apps that given one more options for backing up less frequently than TC does?
    Thanks again for posting.

    I'm not sure how to post a message. I hope this might interest someone. The situation; 3 floors,I am having trouble with an an Airport Extreme, 802.11n on the top floor and a Mac Pro 3.1 on the bottom floor. Not always but often it has trouble seeing the Airport and making a connection. I have an older Airport Express, would it help to install it? would it work best if it was installed in the same room? should it be installed half way in between? Get another Extreme? The Mac Book Pro on the middle floor can see 11 networks in the neighbourhood if that might be causing a problem or would if I installed the Express. Thank for your consideration.   

    Thanks for your time ... I appologize for the font and colour, I compossed the question in pages and failed to notice the font colour as grey ... there are a variety of computers of various ages so I think it is using a setting that allows both 5G and 2.4 ... the connection to the Airport is thru a cable modem and cable does run throuhout the house ... maybe those hard wires would be a place to look at ... do you think that putting the 'Express' on the second floor might help ... thanks again ...

    Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

  • Another dual display problem - GeForce FX 5200

  • Having trouble seeing a shared gmail calander

    having trouble seeing a shared gmail calander on iphone 5s

    That seems to be a permissions problem. Where is your shared Aperture Library located?
    If you store it in a "Shared" Folder, the access control lists may cause trouble. Sharing a library works best, if you keep the Aperture Library on a separate external drive or on a disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" set for this drive or partition. This works well also with Aperture 3.3., at least for me.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. To set the  "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag, open the volume with "File > Get Info" from the Finder, onlock the padlock in the lower right corner and enter your admin-password. Then enable the flag in the "Sharing and permissions" brick of the panel.

  • Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    Is anyone else having trouble seeing their screens when you are outside?

    When is sunlight, absolutely. Not a problem with the Droid Ultra but rather all phones.
    You ever see the commercial about the Nook devices. The have a special screen to reduce glare allowing you to see your screen in sunlight.
    As far as I know, companies have not implemented this on anycell phone.
    There are after market anti-glare screen protectors
    Check Amazon or eBay, they should be relatively inexpensive.

  • M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

    Hi,
    we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5)  keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
    Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
    Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
    - Monitor independent, as far as I can see
    - Independent from Windows energy saving modes
    - BIOS updates did not help
    [todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
    I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.
