EA4500 - not as easy to set up

Unfortunately the Linksys EA4500 is not as easy to "Set Up & Manage with Ease" as they claim. After trying to connect my Dell color laser network printer, which was working just fine with the replaced Dlink DIR-655 router, it turns out that the supplied Easy Connect Software does not allow non-USB or non-wireless printers to connect to the network. One must manually configure the IP address, according to the Cisco technical support manager. It is not a simple three step set up as advertised.
The Linksys technical support manager agrees that it is a good thing to warn people not to buy this router if one is expecting easy connection to their network. "It's out of my hands, how to support you to configure the Dell network printer to work with the Linksys EA4500 router." Linksys referred me to a third party, for a fee, to explain how to manually configure the IP address to connect a network printer to their router.
Numerous other features are not fully developed. Wait for this product to develop into a more mature product. This router is not ready for primetime.

The Cisco Connect software comes with the Linksys Wireless-N (E/EA Series) routers that let you manage your network easier. So first of all uninstall the older Cisco connect Software from the computer..  Then make the following connectivity:
The router’s power adapter needs to be plugged to your router and into an available power outlet.
If using a wired connection, the first Ethernet cable needs to be plugged to the computer’s LAN port into any of the router’s blue numbered Ethernet ports.
The second Ethernet cable should be plugged to the modem’s Internet port and the other end into the router’s yellow Internet port.
Ensure that you have no firewall enabled that may prevent the router from being detected.
After the connection install the Cisco Connect Software again… Here is the link for the same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=21463&userrole=Links...
Instructions to connect Network Printer with a Router
1 Set the router near the computer that is closest to your cable or broadband modem. Plug the router's electrical plug into a wall outlet but do not connect any other cables yet.
2 Put the installation CD that came with the router into the computer's disc drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the router's software on the computer. Install the printer's software on the computer if you have not already done so.
3 Connect an Ethernet cable from your modem to the port on the router marked as, "WAN" or "Wide Area Network." Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer to any of the numbered ports on the router. Open the Start menu on the computer and then click "Control Panel."
4 Scroll through the Control Panel options and then double-click the "Network and Sharing Center" icon. Click on the "Connect to a Network" link at the left side of the window. Find the name of your router in the list of available networks and click on it. Click on "Connect."
5 Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the printer to any of the numbered ports on the router. Return to the "Network and Sharing Center" window and click on the button labeled as "Turn on Printer Sharing."
6 Click on the "Apply" button to save the setting. Click on the "View Computers and Devices" link at the left side of the window. Click on the "Add a Printer" button when the new window appears.
7 Click on the "Add a Network Printer" button and wait for the computer to scan for attached printers. Click on the name of the printer and then click on "Connect."
8 Connect Ethernet cables from the other computers on your network to the numbered ports on the router. Repeat the process of connecting to the network, turning on printer sharing, and then adding the printer on those computers.

    How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?

  • Why do my Reminders sometimes not alert after the set time?

    Why do my Reminders sometimes not alert after the set time?  I've tried re-starting repeatedly.  I've tried deleting older completed reminders (I only had 300).  Is there a fix for this? 

    You problem sounded rather odd, so I tried to duplicate it in iTunes 11 and I couldn't.
    I turned off copy to iTunes media folder when adding to library, then I moved a music track that was not in the iTunes media folder from folder A to folder B and right clicked on it and selected open with iTunes and it played fine. (I have to do it this way as iTunes is not my default player for MP3).
    However the consequences of doing this are that you end up with two copies of the track in the library database, the original which can no longer be found as it is not in its original location and the new entry pointing to the correct location which plays OK.
    So as far as I can tell, there must be something else going on as I can't dublicate your problem in iTunes 11

    If you want an easy time with iTunes it really is easier to let iTunes manage your music in the iTunes media folder. Also it make life a lot easier if you want to move to a new disk or PC as iTunes can tolerate the iTunes media folder being moved as long as you tell it where it is.

    I realised that my last experment was not a purchased track.
    When I did it with a purchased track, iTunes recognises that it should be in the library database and brings the track up with an exclamation mark next to it. Strangely the track was added to the library with the correct loaction and would play on the secon try.
    Odd behaviour, maybe it is something to do with the icloud storage system as iTunes knows you purchased the track.

  • HT2822 Is there small (30" or less HD LED) TV that is especially easy to set up with Apple TV?

    Is there small (30" or less HD LED) TV that is especially easy to set up with Apple TV? Thank you.

    Any HDTV with an HDMI port will work.  Apple TV is very easy to set up, even easier if you have an Apple router, like the Airport Extreme.
    good internet connection is critical.  Low speed, dial up or DSL is often not fast enough for a good viewing experience as the video will load very slowly.

  • Easy setup setting for NXCAM 1920x1080 25p/50i

    Recently I have "upgraded" from Sony HDV to Sony NXCAM*.
    Filming in full HD @ 25p.
    When importing the footage into FCP and selecting Easy Setup ProRes 422, I can not select frame rate. The "use" field is greyed out and contains the text "HDV-Apple ProRes 422 1080p24"
    As the Easy Setup defines the initial settings of the sequence of a new project, each time I have to change the sequence settings manually to match the NXCAM footage.
    Question: is there a way to define a new Easy Setup setting? ... or is there another solution?
    regards,
    Coen
    * HXR-NX5

    The NXCAM shoots AVCHD. You don't use Easy Setup, but the Preferences dialog in Log & Transfer and set it to transcode to ProRes LT. That footage will adopt the 25fps frame rate of your source footage.
    To set the Sequence correctly, simply drop a clip onto the Timeline. You will see a dialog that asks if you want the Sequence to match the clip properties (you do).

  • My printer is hpphotosmart 5515 not wierless but is set at wireless.m\need help

    I have a hp photosmart 5515 printer. It is set for wireless,and cant change that.it is not wireless

    Hi @eleymay 
    What operating system, and version do you have? Mac or Windows?
    If you are not using the wireless feature, you can certainly turn it off.  Simply touch the arrow on the right hand side, then touch the wireless icon. In the Wireless Menu, go to Wireless and select off.
    If you are using a USB cable and are having difficulties, try unplugging it and reconnecting it. If you have a Windows computer and you are still having troubles, running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
    Connectivity:
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.

    If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
    If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
    If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
    If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
    If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

    Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
    Anyone else had this and found why ?
    new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
    - no longer has a five star rating system
    - my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
    - cannot copy location of one photo to another
    - cannot have an album with  keywords AND rating > a value
    - cannot set key photo of album/event
    - multi parameter search feature gone
    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
    BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
    Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb  #@!$#@!@#!@#
    Thanks

    That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
    Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
    iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
    If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder.  And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3,  you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos.   It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
    If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
    See this User Tip:
    Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
    I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

  • I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

    Hi to the Mac Folks,
    I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
    I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5.  The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices  There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
    Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
    Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
    Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

    Hey,
    if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders.  You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

    I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!

  • Avoid JDBC sender error: Execute statement did not return a result set

    Hi!
    My JDBC sender adapter towards MS SQL server works fine, with an Execute statement calling a stored procedure that returns the source data needed. The stored procedure itself updates the status of database table records, so that only the unread records are returned each time the stored procedure is called.
    However, the communication channel monitoring sets a red flag for the JDBC sender adapter, when there are no values to fetch from the database table (using the stored procedure). Message says: "Database-level error reported by JDBC driver while executing statement 'EXECUTE FetchMessage 1, 9000'. The JDBC driver returned the following error message: 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The statement did not return a result set.'. For details, contact your database server vendor."
    This is not an error situation, as I do not expect there to be any values to fetch from the database at all times.
    I do not see how to change the stored procedure to avoid this error.
    Is there a parameter to be set on the JDBC adapter that I can use, so the red flag is avoided?
    Thanks for any input!
    Regards,
    Oeystein Emhjellen

    Hi Oeystein Emhjellen.
    The problem is Store Procedure that has to generate always a ResultSet (or cursor). If it doesn't have a output, you have to generate an Empty ResultSet.
    Like a SELECT Statement:
    If there are data, SELECT get an output result but if it get nothing the SELECT Statement get a empty ResultSet.
    Ask to your database team.
    I hope it helps you.

  • Win8.1 Update 1 install was not an easy task. (Win8.1 Pro 64bit)

    Win8.1 Update 1 install was not an easy task. (Win8.1 Pro 64bit)
    KB2919355 Failed to install : 09Apr, 11Apr, 11Apr, 12Apr, 12Apr, 13Apr, 16Apr, 17Apr; succeeded: 17Apr.
    After the first three failures I did an online search and found the following information:
    According to a posting I found, when Windows 8.1 Update first fails to install, the original patch does not clean all leftovers, so all your attempts to manually deploy the new release will obviously fail as well. Andrew B recommends users follow the next
    steps and then try to install Windows 8.1 Update manually.
    1. Launch Command Prompt with administrator privileges
    2. Run the following command: dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14
    3. When step 2 is completed, run this command: dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
    4. Try to install Windows 8.1 Update manually
    I followed these steps and tried both an online and offline installation a couple of times - without success.  More searching resulted in more information:
    from:
    http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-8-1-Update-Installation-Fails-with-Error-Code-80070020-436577.shtml
    1. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    2. SFC /scannow
    The next attempt at installing Update 1 worked. I then checked the CBS.log file in the \Windows\Logs\CBS folder and found numerous comments that 'SFC /scannow' found many missing or corrupted files and took action to replace them. I was surprised that many
    of the 'new' files were images and were in the \Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Themes1 or \Themes2 folders.
    I had previously deleted all images I did not want as wallpaper - there was no option to unstall themes using Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on and off.
    So, it appears that Win8.1 Update 1 expects to find 'everything' that was part of the initial/original installation still on the computer even though I "Took Ownership" of the original images and folders and deleted them. SFC /scannow may have
    repaired/installed other files but that information was eliminated with the successful install.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your sharing on this issue.
    The update 1 also change some UI designs, that's why it try to find all related files about theme and components to replace.

    The TouchID settings will not be available until you create a passcode, see the article linked below for more information.

    You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
