E1200 new user- need some expert tips

Hi guys, I just bought a new e1200 model a few hours ago to replace my old WRT54G version 3.0 , My house is not that big less than 400 sq meters and one floor only. In my old router, when I go to my garden, the internet speed is very slow and thats when I thought that I needed a new upgrade , so I got the e1200, would have wanted a more expensive version like the e2000 + models and higher but this is the only one available here in our city.
The current location of my router is thesame as before , its near my monitor here in the table , are there any tips to like increase it's signal ?
This is from support:
Yes, and for you to optimize its N-functionality, you need to set your Network Mode to N-only, Channel Width to 40MHz and the Security Mode to WPA2 Personal. But you need to be sure that all of your devices' cards are using N.
I have tried changing the channel to 6 , changing the network mode to n, or security mode to wpa2 personal caused some problems with my brothers laptop, so i had ot switch back to wpa personal only. What else do I need to tweak here ?
(Mod Note: Edited for guideline compliance.)

Well you can try the following combination of steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 1, 6, 9, 11..
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Secondly avoid using any other wireless devices like cordless phones, microwave oven etc nearer to the router. Update the drivers for the wireless card of the wireless computer. Then check the wireless connection status.

  • A very new user needs some help and advice....

    Hi,
    I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
    I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
    I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
    I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
    I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
    I hope what I have explained makes sense.
    Regards
    John

    So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
    Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
    To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
    You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
    Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

  • Hi,new user needs some tech info on bbm

     hi,ive a problem we belive my daughters friend has stolen her phone and has started to delete her friends off the bbm,now one of my kids mates has told her that her friend has sent him a new request in her name but the pin is my daughters number,i want to get the phone back so if i report it she will probably throw it away,is there anyway i can get hold of any messages sent from a bbm pin to confirm its being used?

  • Overly Excited New User Needs Advice on Windows for Mac

    As of Christmas day, I am a proud owner of a new MBP 17" beautiful piece of machinery! I'm coming from a PC so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this gift from my parents. Also, I'm 33 years old so getting a gift this amazing from your parents is pretty huge!
    Anyway, the point is I have to use a program for work that is only available for Windows and I just need some advice on whether to use Parallels or VM or just use the free boot camp. I don't want to use Windows for anything other than this program. Is there a way around having to buy the whole Windows OS? Also, is iWork any better than Office? Not sure which of those to buy either. I hate that I even have to have Windows on my new Mac! Thanks for any advice.

    Hi eightezsteps, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What program do you need? Often PC programs have equivalents on the Mac platform, or even Mac versions that many people are not aware of. There are very few file formats that Macs cannot deal with.
    The choice of Parallels, VMWare, or Boot Camp will also depend on whether you require 3D graphics support with that application. So, we'll need to know what it is!
    is iWork any better than Office?
    I prefer it to Office now after using it for a year. However, it is different, and there is a slight learning curve to it. Once you discover the differences from Office, you'll be as productive if not moreso. You should be aware that some of the more advanced features of Office are sometimes not included in iWork though. So if you require advanced formulas and macros in Excel (for example) to be cross-platform compatible then you'll need Office. If your work is slightly less hardcore than that, you'll be just fine with iWork once you get used to it.
    I do some pretty extensive academic writing (scientific) using Pages and Numbers and I have never ran into anything it could not do for me. That includes formulae and scientific notation.

  • New User needs Help...

    Hello Everybody!
    I am MetalheadGautham, a guy who has been using linux since May 2007, and linux made me what I am - a guy with an attitude, from a n00b who couldn't use his brains thanks to windows. I migrated from Ubuntu 7.04, my first distro, to Ubuntu 8.04 on may 2008 then within a few weeks, I got rid of that horrible piece of bloatware. Then I installed Debian Lenny, and then migrated to Sidux in just a couple of days, when I heard lenny was about to go on a suspended animation soon.;)
    I installed arch a week back, since even debian sid was proving too slow for my hardware, and I think its the best linux distro ever. Period. Its so simple to use, everything can be done so very easily, that I think even Ubuntu was much much harder to use than arch. But I still have lots of unsolved issues, since I am still a newbie (depending on how far you stretch the defination of the word "newbie").
    1. Hardware
    I have a Pentium 4 "Prescott" 2.66GHz processor (not the HT technology model), 256MB DDR 400MHz RAM, Intel D915GLVG motherboard with onboard Intel GMA 900 Video and RealTek ALC880 Audio. I hope you see that this is certainly not the best system in the world... I run KDEmod on this. So far, except for Firefox hanging, I have found no issues. Any advice on running arch on this ugly baby ?
    2. IceDE
    I am trying to create a full DE using IceWM, called IceDE. I want to make lightweight easy to use apps, either simple commandline like nano or curses based terminal apps or light gui apps available for use on this. So far I use EmelFM as file manager, DFM for desktop icons, nano for text editing and xterm for terminal. I need some more apps, mainly a media player. Please suggest a good light weight all-format-supported media player for this environment.
    3. AUR and Pacman
    I need a good GUI client for Pacman. I heard of aorut or something. How good is it and is it a native KDEmod app ? And is there a simpler way to install stuff from AUR other than visiting the site each time ? Is there some AUR client ? And does anyone know some good commandline pacman game ?
    4. Konqueror issues
    Konqueror can't use WYSIWYG editing mode in vBulletin. If I press and hold the down arrow in a text box, I can't reach the end of the text I am typing. I need some adblock filters for doubleclick, ad.yeildmanager, google, yahoo, etc. Please help. I want to replace firefox completely.
    5. Doccumentation
    Can someone please link me to some good .txt files containing well formatted doccumentation I can read with less while in commandline mode ? I need all the doccumentation I can use, since without that as a newbie I can get seriously screwed on this distro. I want one for newbies, pacman, kdemod, aourt, AUR, fstab, rc.conf and most importantly, kernel compiling. Files with formatted coloured text to help see things more clearly will be welcome. And why doesn't arch place the doccumentation files anywhere in the OS after installing ? I had to copy the wiki manually via another live CD to my /home directory in order to finish my configuring.

    it's not GUI and it's called yaourt. Fortunately you only need to visit the AUR once and use makepkg to build yaourt. Then once installed you can use yaourt like pacman and install stuff directly from AUR using yaourt in terminal. Yaourt is a wrapper for pacman that gives AUR functionality.
    5. Doccumentation
    You could try
    man man
    man pacman
    man yaourt
    man rc.conf
    man fstab
    or how about the wiki? Did you see the links at the top of the page?
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/
    yaorut ? I guess thats the one. I don't need GUIs. I just need something better. I am pretty comfortable with commandline.
    rooloo wrote:
    btw,
    makepkg, AUR, and ABS are discussed extensively in the wiki.
    yes they are, but I need text only version browsable from commandline init 3 using less. And man pages don't make the cut - they are not sufficiently newbie friendly since they lack advices and tips.

    Welcome to the forums MetalheadGautham.
    Most WMs will get the best out of your system, including Ice. Openbox is a good choice here at Arch. You'll get tons of helpful advice for that one; Just about everyone loves Openbox here. I've used E17 on a machine with far lower specs than yours with excellent results. In fact, it's all I use on both of my computers. Just don't use the default theme, you'd be at risk of random vomiting!
    As far as a media player goes: Xine is very lightweight and can play most formats. Mplayer and VLC are a bit heavier but play more formats, and both will do well on machines less powerful than yours. MPD is a great choice for music. I use Sonata as a front end and love it. The combination is extremely lightweight.
    IceWM is simply THE LIGHTEST I have ever seen. It uses lesser ram than fluxbox which uses lesser ram than openbox. Along with that, its got great features - flag+space to run a command of your choice, a network monitor, a cpu load monitor, a tray, workspaces, easy to edit menus, etc. Its simply THE best. Thats why I didn't install the LXDE based OpenBox and decided to create my own IceDE just for the fun of it.
    I have been thinking of Xine MPlayer and VLC, but I need something commandline. I remember that launching vlc via (I guess) ncurses-vlc or something launches the ncurses version. I don't know the same for MPlayer and Xine. Which uses the least resources while in commandline ? And I don't want mpd since I want to keep things as simple as possible, with ONE APP PER TASK approach.
    mcmillan wrote:Since you asked about a gui app and yaourt isn't what you're looking for you might want to look at shaman. It's made by the same people involved in making kdemod, and they've done a nice job of integrating it with kde4.
    Sounds good. But I doubt I will be using it most of the time since I love working from init 3. Is there a (n)curses client for pacman, the way aptitude exists for apt-get ?
    Square wrote:When it comes to hardware, you're ok on everything. I would suggest upgrading your RAM if you get a chance however, for 256MB could put you at a snag every once and a while (Especially if using a DE). About 512MB is perfect IMO, for a basic desktop, and could greatly improve overall performance.
    I am thinking of getting myself another gig of ram on 2nd of august (the sunday). Will it help run KDE4 without issues ?
    And will my onboard gpu become better if I up its vram from the current 12mb to 192mb ? (after adding a gig ofcourse).
    peets wrote:I suggest that you learn to enjoy your shell (bash, zsh, fish, ...) It's my quick and scriptable file manager. I find it fun to use.
    I am trying... its fun... but I have still not managed to COMPLETELY replace a file manager with the shell due to various obvious reasons (like speed while using).

  • New to GB guitar recording - Need some noise tips

    Hello everyone,
    I've finally got my 20" iMac, and now of course, I wanna record some guitar. I have a Traynor YCV80 tube amp, and i've come out of its line out into the imac's line in. I've done all the preference settings in GB and in system prefs itself. I'm leaving the amp in standby in the clean channel, just using the preamp tubes to amplify the signal, keeping most nobs at 12 o'clock, trying to stay as dry as possible. The problem i'm having is the clean sound straight from the amp into GB w/o any amp sims or such sounds horrible. The clean channel distorts and when I try to use an amp sim, they either crap out or get really noisy and muddy. I've tried adjusting the volumes, so the lower I take some of them, the more the signal cleans up but then its too weak to hear or work with. Could someone help me find a balance for the 40 million sound level slider in GB and what I should do with the actual amp's EQ itself so I can get a nice clean, crisp sound so I can then work with the amp sims and start to lay down some tracks.

    I don't need amps anymore - just like
    to crank 'em up to bother the wife.
    The opposite being exactly why I've warmed up a lot to GBs software amp sims. I've no doubt that, for tone, nothing beats a mic'd up tube-driven stack moving plenty of air, but that's not really practical for me. Besides being able to tweak the amp settings in GB after the fact, I can record a roaring wall of guitar without more audible sound than a bit of plink and thwam from the strings. This means that my wife doesn't crucify me for cranking up amps at odd hours of the day or night
    I've got a Gibson LP Std loaded with Bare Knuckle pickups <http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/> which I run into my iBook via a Tascam US-122. That works very well; not too noisy as long as I stand back from the computer a bit (though if I engage the coil tapping, things get significantly noisier!). I have used a Sansamp GT-2 pedal for distortion with GB (still using GB's noise gate and reverb, but none of the amp sims), but I find get very plausible tones with the GB amp sims (especially if I tweak up my own settings). I wish Apple provided an easy way for users to export their presets so that they could be shared. I've got a few amp presets using the stock GB amp sims that I quite like, but I'm sure other users have ones at least as good and likely better! It'd be nice to swap these things around and try out different tones. I guess I can zip up .cst or .pst files and put them on my web site, but then the downloader has to be savvy about where to put them, etc., etc.
    I've looked at things like the PodXT and Vox Tonelab, but I like the "re-amping" capabilities of GB's amp sims. On the other hand, I've looked at things like the Nomad Rock Legends AU, but I worry about that overstressing my puir wee iBook's CPU (already quite stressed by GB on its own!).
    Cheers,
    Carl

  • Very new user needs help setting up a three user network plus server

    Hi,
    I'm an owner/manager of a recruitment company in the UK and we use three mac minis in our office to run our recruitment software (on a filemaker database) internet, mail and MS Office 2008.
    We currently use one of the mini's as a 'server' in so much that it has a external HDD attached and shared across the network. We use Airport Extreme to share the internet.
    Although to begin with this set up has served us well the amount of data travelling across the network and the prospect of a couple of new employees starting has made me think it's time to invest in a network and server of some description.
    With my very limited knowledge i'm proposing the following but would greatly appreciate some assistance from the forum users!
    Install OSX 10.5.3 Server on one of the Mac Minis
    Get an ethernet switch and cable the three minis together
    Use the external HDD as a time machine backup and store all files on the 'server' HDD
    Continue to use the Airport Extreme to share the internet over airport.
    I have a couple of questions:
    Can the Server computer still be used as a desktop or do we need to buy a new mini
    Does this set up make the airport base station redundant
    As we grow I would envisage enlisting the help of a specialist Mac IT support company but in the mean time any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you again in advance.

    I would get something better specified than a mini to be my Mac OS X based server, and although you can run it as a desktop I wouldnt advise it.
    You ought to go out and buy the book Mac OS X Server 10.5 Essentials - The only Apple-certified book on Mac OS X Server - which Ive found to be a godsend of a book in getting Leopard Server going. Make sure you get the 10.5 version. Im in the UK and got it from Foyles in London.
    Your approach is fine, but Leopard Server isnt as plug and go as the rest of Apples products. In particular it just doesnt function correctly if you do not have working DNS before you start. Period. If you dont understand DNS in your office or If having read the book you find its too technical you might be better off buying a no-brand Network File Store/Disk or even a Time Capsule from Apple if its mainly shared disk space that you need.

  • Environment PATH is corrupted, need some expert RVM ruby version manager and environment PATH

    I have some serious issues with my ~/.bash_profile and I think I just figured out what it is.   I have a ~/.bash_profile for myself as a normal user and another one as root user.  They should be the same.  I am the administrator and the regular user and anything I do as root I should be able to do as a user in the least case it should work as root user.
    I really munged editing my path so I'm trying to reconstruct what I did and what I need it to do.  I would just like to get it back to where it was and add RVM and Sproutcore to my PATH.  That is all I need to do.  To explain it though I have to walk you through what I did wrong.
    1.  This is how my ~/.bash_profile is as a regular user .  I thought this should work with adding the two new programs to my path  RVM and Sproutcore.  So far not so good.
    export PATH=/usr/local/zend/bin:/usr/local/zend/mysql/bin:/users/jr/.rvm/bin:/usr/loca l/sproutcore:$PATH
    alias zf=/usr/local/ZendFrameworkCLi/bin/zf.sh
    2.  This is how my ~/.bash_profile is as the root user.  AS you can see I was going through the RVM install I guess a couple of times and it added something to my path.  This mostly looks right to me though.  I want my zend server to still work I probably added /usr/local/sproutcore to the end.  I don't know if that is right.  maybe I was supposed to do export $PATH and all that instead of just adding it to the end but that is what I did.
    sh-3.2# vi ~/.bash_profile
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin:/usr/local/zend/mysql/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/loc al/sproutcore
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib
    zf=/usr/local/ZendFrameworkCli/bin/zf.sh
    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # LOAD RVM function
    [[ -S "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function
    To make matters worse when you think it can't get worse.  I have another .bash_profile
    in
    /var/root/
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/zend/bin:/usr/local/zend/mysql/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/loc al/sproutcore
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/zend/lib
    zf=/usr/local/ZendFrameworkCli/bin/zf.sh
    [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # LOAD RVM function
    [[ -S "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM function

    which looks strangely like the .bash_profile when I log in as root in my home directory.
    Also there is a .bashrc in the /var/root directory.  Here it is:
    export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/localsbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:/usr/bi n:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:/usr/local /zend/bin:/usr/local/zend/mysql/bin:/Users/jr/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p194:/usr/loca l/sproutcore

    I even thought of going to the environment.plist and editing it in Xcode but I don't know what the key value pairs should be if it can be fixed otherwise then we can skip that step.
    This is what I need to work as well as adding the path to sproutcore but this is the error I get when running it and it is installed correctly.
    RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.
    You need to change your terminal settings to allow shell login.
    Please visit https://rvm.io/workflow/screen/ for example and their manual says this, so I need the RVM to work with the shell this way below.
    Can someone help me get the shell down below working in conjunction with my .bash_profile ? 
    This is the manual page on that error message: 
    Using RVM inside GNU Screen
    RVM should work out of the box with screen as long as you have your profiles configured correctly. The easiest way to ensure it's working is to make screen use a login shell by placing the following in your ~/.screenrc file:
    shell -${SHELL}
