E2000 dual band question for a noob

Can the e2000 use 2.4ghz for my laptop but use 5ghz for my wife's laptop.I know the band is selectable but what I am trying to find out is can I tell the router to use a specific band for each laptop.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The E2000 is a dual band single radio router. You can select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. But as it is single radio only you can only operate on one frequency but not both at the same time.

Need Recommendation for Windows USB 802.11N Dual Band Card for AEBS

I am building a very large WiFi network to support 100 users. The plan is to use only Dual Band Airport Extreme Base Stations.
Can anyone recommend a compatible USB adapter that will work on Windows (XP, Vista, & Windows 7)?
Looking for something that has 802.11n + 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Any help is appreciated. (Google has been help to tell me what WON'T work... leaving me concerned that my network is going to have issues when it comes to PC users).

The one PC that is running Windows 7 which is the only PC running Windows 7, the rest are XP or Vista has a Atheros AR5007 wireless card keeps dropping connection to the airport. The computer is a HP Pavilion 1448dx. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to fix the signal drop to that computer, all of the other computers are fine.
Yes, please check with either HP or Atheros to see if there is an updated driver for the wireless card.
Another quick question: I was wondering if I could hook up my previous router (Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router) to my Airport Extreme and have the PC's run off the belkin and my mac just run off the Airport Extreme and solve the issue with the one PC dropping connection.
Yes, it may be possible. The Belkin would have to be connected to the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) via an Ethernet patch cable and reconfigured as a bridge. In addition, the Belkin's wireless radio channel should be changed to one at least 3-5 channels away from the AEBSn's channel.

6502i with 5508WLC Dual-Band question

I recently purchased a few 6502i APs and have them connected to our 5508 WLC. I have all of the bands available, WMM, and all the MCS rates supported. For some reason, I'm not seeing the new APs listed under "Dual-Band Radios". Is there something I'm missing?

Ha! no worries. Ok, so 3602i/e, running at least 7.2 (possibly 7.1....) to support them.
What version of code are you running specificaly? And still, were are you seeing the Dual-Band thing.
Is it that you are not seeing the A radio in the list?

Simultaneous dual band router for FiOS

I've just got a FiOS Triple play with a modem/router, M1424WR.
I ordered for 50/25 Mbps, but I'm getting 60/40 wired.
The router is downstairs right next to where the cable came inside,
and I'm getting mostly 25/20 wireless downstairs.
However, whenever the microwave oven in the kitchen runs,
the wireless connection doesn't work. So I'm thinking of buying a simultaneous dual band router.
How would I configure it with the Verizon modem that originally came with?
Any help would be appreciated.

Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?

not sure on that one but you can set a border around the edge of the screen so that you can access the right click menu.
it's in the obconf options
pacman -S obconf
duh - I cant believe I didn't think of that....great idea - thanks! I already had obconf installed and used it too - so this worked out great.

New question...I added gDeskCal for a simple calendar application, and it works great. However, it shows up on pypanel across all 4 desktops. Any way i could remove it from the panel all together or specify it should only be on pypanel on a certain desktop, etc.? I dug through pypanels config and info and the config for gDeskCal to no avail...far from a deal breaker but it would be cool to change haha.
Thanks again everyone!!!

Setting up/extending a Dual Band network

Any recommendations regarding dual-band vs. the n/b/g blended network? Is it possible to set up a dual-band network on an AEBS-n and also boost the "n" side of the network with an AX-n? I've searched the discussions but have not found much on the topic, other than some comments regarding iMacs not liking "n" or 10.5.3 or airport utility 5.3.1 or maybe the "automatic" channel setting or possibly something else.....
A little history:
We have 3 iMacs (new 3.06 Ghz, 17" late 2006, 20" late 2006), 3 MacBook Pros, and one dual-2.5 Ghz G5 that all shared internet access through a Motorola modem/Comcast cable via an Airport Extreme Base Station b/g. The AEBS was in the basement and configured as a WDS with an Airport Express b/g that served to extend the network's reach to the second floor and remodeled kitchen (new steel beams). This setup has worked nearly flawlessly for years until recently, when both of the older iMacs started experiencing intermittent airport signal drops--supremely annoying. The modem seemed to work fine, however, and the AEBS light stayed green and the G5 and MBPs weren't having issues (some running Tiger, some Leopard).
I thought that upgrading to Leopard (erase and install) might take are of any weird settings or corrupt files and thus improve the iMacs' airport connections, so I upgraded the first one, and it seemed to fix the problem--no drops of airport or internet for several hours. I then decided it was time to upgrade the network as well--swapping out the old b/g AEBS and AX for a new AEBS-n and AX-n. (Yes, I know, not too smart to change both the OS and the network at the same time ... but here we are.) Since the G5 in the basement can't connect to an "n" network, I decided to set up a Dual Band network with the AX-n acting as the old AX b/g had to extend the network.
This is what it looked like:
cable modem ------>
AEBS-n ------> wireless to Airport Extreme-n ---> wireless to older iMacs and MBPs
AX b/g (connected via ethernet to AEBS) -----> wireless to the G5
This worked, sort of, in that all but the G5 could all pick up and join either the "n" or the b/g network. Problem was, the network was very unstable-- the airport signal would suddenly drop out for no reason then recover, or the airport icon would show a full 4 bars but have no internet connection. This was happening on all of the macs, perhaps more so on the two older iMacs, while the modem itself showed no change in status, and the AEBS-n light would remain green. When I removed the AX-N from the setup to see if that was causing a hiccup, the drops were a little less frequent but the kitchen iMac was marooned with 1, maybe 2 bars in the airport icon and the signal strength on the second floor was decreased. Oh, and the drops continued to happen. I've now reverted to a b/g-compatible network, which is better, but still hasn't prevented all of the drops.
My questions are:
1-Any ideas about why the airport is acting wonky? Are 'n' networks proving to be more problematic than the old ones?
2-Is it possible to use an AX-n to extend the range of the "n" side of a dual band network?
2-If so, any ideas for improving the network's reliability?
3-If not, will going back to a b/g-compatible network negate the supposed speed benefits of 802.11n? Would I go back to using a WDS setup then?
I've tried so many different settings, combinations, configurations trying to get this up and working, that I'm ready to pull my hair out. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply. Looking back at my sorry attempt at a diagram, I realize I wasn't clear about a couple of things. The modem is connected via ethernet to the AEBS-n. The AEBS-n is connected via ethernet to the AE-b/g, which provides wireless coverage to the G5 and others. So far, everything is in the basement.
We live in an old house--no way to set up the network via ethernet--and so rely on the airport network to provide internet access to the computers on the first and second floors. In our old network, I had an AE-b/g as a WDS remote located in the kitchen that provided the first and second floors with their internet connection.
When I upgraded our network, I set up the new AEBS-n as a 5.0 Ghz an-only network (create a network/allow network to be extended) and connected the old AE b/g to it (bridge mode/create a network) to provide wireless internet for the G5. The iMac in the kitchen could hardly pick up the "n" signal at all, and it could receive only a weak signal from the b/g network. Lots of dropped airport signals and also lots of dropped internet connections. Strangely enough, the MacBookPros on the second floor could pick up both signals pretty strongly, but they, too, had lots of drops. The 2nd floor iMac was even worse than the kitchen iMac--spotty reception at best, and lots of drops. The G5 and the iMac in the basement, meanwhile, were fine--strong signal and only intermittent drops.
Hoping to extend the reach of the "n" network and thereby eliminate the drops, I added an AE-n to it (bridge mode/extend the network) and put it where the old b/g had been. This boosted the "n" signal to the kitchen and 2nd floor, but the drops seemed to become more frequent and for longer durations. Perhaps this was merely coincidence, but it made me question whether adding the AE-n in a dual-band network was advisable. Not finding any info that specifically addressed that scenario, I turned to the discussion forum for guidance.
Further research leads me to believe that the iMacs' issues may be more due to their being iMacs in the first place, but I was still left with a very unreliable dual band network for the rest of the Macs. Reconfiguring the AEBS-n and AE-n as an n (b/g compatible) network has led to far fewer drops, but like you, I'd prefer to keep my "an" devices separated from the G5 to make use of their higher wireless speed.
So....I guess what I need to know is whether anyone else been having so many dual band dropouts? Have you had any success in eliminating them? Have you successfully extended the "n" side of their dual band without adversely affecting stability?
As long as I know this isn't a lost cause, I'll give it another go and keep tweaking settings in hopes of finding a stable setup....

Dual band wlan adapter replacement

Hi, I have an HP pavilion DM1 4310sw and I would like to replace the WLAN card. Inside there is a Ralink 3290 b/g/n/2,4Ghz only. I want to have dual band wlan card with bluetooth. Which wlan card will work with my laptop?
Thank you for your help

Hi Rapi,
Welcome to the HPCommunity, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are looking for dual band card for your Pavilion. I took at a look at the specifications for your model and there isn't a particular card that I can recommend. Not of the wireless cards recommended in the Maintenance and Service guide are dual band. There is one that is but only if your model has an Intel processor but yours has a AMD dual-core according to the specifications.

Can 2nd Gen Express extend dual band or only a single?

Since the new express is simultaneous dual band capable, I assumed I could extend both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands at the same time. While setting it up I noticed it only allows one netrwork from the Extend drop down box.
Is the simultaneous dual band only for creating a new network and not an option for extending?

Since my Express (and Apple TV) are located a floor above my Extreme, I'm guessing that they'll automatically connect to the 2.4Ghz band since it'll be stronger/better quality signal...?
Yes, that would be a good assumption.
I'm looking to get the best performance to the ATV (hoping for 5GHz) and don't have the luxury of running CAT cable to bridge the 2 routers.
From personal exprience the ONLY way to get stable streaming performance, especially of HD content, is via a Gigabit Ethernet connection between routers. As you surmised, 5GHz wireless would (or should) perform better than 2.4 GHz. If you are "stuck" with the lower frequency band, be sure to eliminate as many other 2.4 GHz signal sources (portable phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, etc.) as possible to achieve the best bandwidth for streaming.

Dual-Band radios

Not sure if it's new in WLC 7.4 code, but I now see "Dual-band radio" section everywhere in addition to "802.11a/n" and "802.11b/g/n". My dual band APs (for example 2600's) show up under both 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n as in the past. So what is this new category "dual-band radio" for then?

These are the 3 modules that will show up as the dual-band radios
Module Options
Wireless Security and Spectrum Intelligence module

Dual-band wireless question

Hi again: I am new to this dual-band wireless stuff in TC having just replaced my AE with a new TC. I have a few questions regarding wireless setup.
1. When selecting the "Radio Mode" you are presented with options like "802.11a/n - 802.11b/g". Does this setting mean that the primary wireless will be a/n wile the guest wireless will be restricted to b/g ?
2. If you Option-click on the Radio-Mode pick list you can select multiple other settings. On of which is 802.11n (5 ghz) - 802.11a/b. Give question 1 does this restrict the main wireless to 5 ghz n only? (I highly doubt this as I can still connect to the "n network" with my iphone which only supports b/g.)
3. Under "Wireless Options" you can select a "5 ghz" network. Is this different than the option detailed in Question 2?
4. Finally, where can I find a manual for TC ?
Thanks for the help, Chris.

So is my assumption that the hyphen in the selection is the differentiation between the two networks?
Also, when I activate the "5 ghz" setting under options I actually see three networks, "Network1 (5 Ghz), Network1, and Network2 in my naming system. Does this mean that Network1 (5 Ghz) in the N only while Network1 is a standard N (with backwards compatibility to b/g)? I think this is the case as my iPhone does connect to Network1 while Network1 (5 Ghz) is not detected.
Thanks for the help, Chris.

What is the best physical orienttion for a new Dual Band II

I have a new AirPort Extreme (Simultaneous Dual Band II). It will be located above a drop ceiling in a hallway outside three rooms which need to be served by the Extreme. My question is this: Which will be the most effective physical orientation for the unit? (1) Sitting on the top side of the ceiling tiles --bottom of the Extreme facing downward into the hallway. (2) Mounted to the ceiling about 18 inches above the ceiling tiles --top of the Extreme facing downward into the hallway. (3) In a vertical orientation above the ceiling tiles --if this vertical orientation is best, then which of the four sides should face downward into the hallway and then --top or bottom toward the least served area --away from the served rooms. Or does it make any difference at all?

I would go for for option 2) to deliver best coverage.

Supported Dual Band Wifi Card for s230u Twist?

I just bought the s230u Twist and realized that the Intel 2230 wifi card is *not* dual band (2.4 GHz only). I also realize that the BIOS has a whitelist for mini-pci cards and need to know if there are any dual band cards that are supported. Thanks.

Hey there guys,
Jccheng, the ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) is a dual band adapter that is compatible and comes as upgrade with the ThinkPad Twist s230u. The 802.11a only runs on a 5Ghz Frequency, and the 802.11n can run on either. I have listed all the adapter options with part numbers below:
04W3763 Cybertan BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3764 Liteon BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3765 Intel 2x2 11bgn + BT4.0 Combo Jackson Peak1 (Centrino 2230)
As an option, you can call the Lenovo Contact Center, 1-800-426-7378, for a Parts Only order. Hope this helps!

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

What dual band wifi adapter for HP ENVY x360 15-u205na

What dual band wifi adapter is compabible with the HP ENVY x360 15-u205na please. It is somewhat disappointing that a current laptop is still only single band 2.4Ghz, if I had known before purchasing the HP it would certainly have changed my purchase decision.

Hi,
This is an Intel based laptop so you can use Intel 6235 or 7260AC I guess. Go for the 6235. It's a decent wireless card..

Where can I download 7.4.2 firmware for my Simultaneous Dual Band II AE

After upgraded to the latest firmware, the time machine disconnect randomly, so does my NAS' file shareing.
As other topic says, I want to downgrade my AE to 7.4.2. I remember days before upgrading firmware, everything's well.
I can't find any download for my Simultaneous Dual Band II AE, only Simultaneous Dual Band (no II). Can someone tell me where I can download it?
Thanks.

Michael,
This may or may not help.... But it just might get someone to either tell us I'm right or point us in a better direction....
I have one AE and three AX's. All recent "n" models. My AE was using v7.5.1 and the three AX's were on v7.4.2. My version of AirPort Utility is v5.5.2. All was well WiFi land....
I recently updated all of them to firmware v7.5.2. They are working OK, but I have lost some of my RSSI. It is about three clicks worst than it was. It went from a constant -58 ~ -59 to -62 ~ -64. (My iMac is not in the same room as my AE.)
If I weren't so "anal" I'd just live with it..... But I'm thinking of reverting them back.
AE from v7.5.2 TO v7.5.1
AX's from v7.5.2 TO v7.4.2
I have found v7.5.1 and v7.4.2 in the following folders:
(users)you>Library>ApplicationSupport>Apple>AirPort>Firmware>107>v7.4.2 & v7.5.2 / 114>v7.5.1 &7.5.2
Once located I think that we go to AirPort Utility, Select the AE or an AX, click Manual set up, Click "Version" on the first screen, then at the drop down select "Other". Next using the now opened Finder, go to one of the above folders and select the version to revert to and update.
I think this just might work..... *Again maybe someone can advise on this.......*
Oh, it's a good idea to locate the AE and AX's close to your computer. I just plug one at a time into an outlet next to my computer.
Hope we hear from an "expert" on this.....
