EA6700, range is really bad

Hello all
I just exchanged my old basic Netgear router for Linksys EA6700, which was supposed to be a more powerful router.
But the range is not good, it doesn't reach as far as the router I had.
Is there anything I can do to change that?
Best regards
Jan

For devices running on 2.4 GHz, the range can go up to 100-150 feet (30-46 meters). If your wireless network devices are too far from each other, consider relocating the devices. Wireless networks are also susceptible to obstructions that may lead to low signal. Oftentimes, the signal gets reflected, refracted, or absorbed by the obstruction: Thick walls and ceilings, mirrors, glasses, metal objects and aquariums.
Another way to resolve this problem is to upgrade your wireless adapter as well. The wireless connection does not solely depend on the wireless router that you have but also with the wireless adapter installed on your computer. “It takes two to Tango”.

My iPads Internet is really bad

My iPads Internet is really bad everything else in the house is fine and its not that everything else is is hogging the wifi because it has been fine for ages but all of a sudden it's being really bad, does anyone know why?

What is really bad - slow, drops connection, won't connect, short range? You need to provide specifics if you want an answer.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Link-5 wireless elite v2 keyboard with really bad reception

Hi. I bought a Wireless Elite v2 keyboard a week ago, and it has really bad reception. It should have a maximum range of about 10mts, but I can't use it more than 10cm away from the link-5 dongle.
I have tried everything listed on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00006821&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
But nothing works. New batteries, no wireless devices near, no things between the receptor and the keyboard, I even tried using it on different houses just to be sure there wasn't anything making interference at home.
Is the keyboard defective?
I bought it at Boston, but now I'm on Argentina, I can't just go and get/try a new one...

Hello,
Well, sorry to hear that all the tests failed to show any improvement on the situation.
I would suggest that you try to call HP and to explain the situation, see if they can try to help you to check the issue and maybe exchange the keyboard.
0-800-555-5000 Capital Federal: 54-11-4708-1600 or via e-mail at the link below.
https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/email?product=4276234&lc=es&cc=ar&dlc=es
If you can't get any help from this 2 resources, let me know.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

Photoshop CC really bad lagging on new rMBP

I resently bought a new Retina MacBook Pro 13" with a nice fast 2,8 i7 proccesor and a big chunk of 16 Gb ram. After using it on my older iMac I was exited to use it on my new MacBook. But its lagging really bad. It makes it unusable for me. I don't work with large files and we mostly use it for small UI design. I use a Bamboo Wacom and use OpenGL is on. when turned of its a lot faster but this results in masive graphic bugs.
Anyone know how to fix this? Because I'm really thinking of switching to Sketch 3 (http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch)

Well, something is up with your system to make it slow.
Do you have any third party plugins? Have you tried disabling them?
Do you have any utilities that would interfere with other applications (antivirus, firewall, etc.)?
And the "graphics bugs" mean that you have a driver problem which will have to be addressed by Apple.

Firefox behaves REALLY badly at random times and I'm worried about it?

So here's what happens. This happens at random times, unexpectedly. I click on a new link, any link, and suddenly, Firefox blares up, automatically turns to private browsing, and goes to a bunch of random websites.
Then, it lands on ''www.xnxx.com'',(<sub>'''edit''', un-linked -J99</sub> ) which I have identified to be a pornography website. After that, it suddenly picks on a random porn video and crashes before the video plays.
This really worries me, because just before this first happened, I had done a quick scan with both Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, and there was absolutely NO problem.
Not only that, I had gone only to trusted websites.
I'm a high school sophomore, so this could turn out REALLY badly for me if someone sees this happening and thinks that I'm TRYING to watch that stuff.
I have already sent a crash report to Firefox and included the website that I crashed in, which is the porn website. I haven't sent any other details, though.
Could I be getting hacked? I don't think so, because this only happens with Firefox; Chrome, Opera, Maxthon, and IE don't have this problem.
I'm running Firefox 15.0.1 in Windows 7 x64 (why the crash report said Windows NT x86, I have no idea).
PLEASE help me fix this!

On looking at your System Details aside I note that you include a Crash ID.
That particular crash is probably related to use of Norton software. You may find that you can use the Norton security software without crashes if you disable the '''Norton Security Safe '''feature (Please confirm - or otherwise - that you are using that ). Note I am not suggesting you turn of the security software, just the utility/toolbar.
For forum cross referencing purposes

App for Windows 8 are really bad

The apps Microsoft made for Skype are really bad.
Any chance for a update so you have some chance of getting to things like call and chat and make it more clear who are online.
Out of a lot of bad apps for windows 8 this take the cake!!

Is there a reason "Elaine" (http://community.skype.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/88058) had to edit/moderate EVERY one of the posts here?
This thread started some time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the word "sucks" was replaced with "are really bad" in the last 12 hours.
The only reason I bring this up is because this is censorship and let me tell you Elaine that it is NOT helping Microsoft/Skype's case here!
If something SUCKS it means it IS REALLY BAD. The word "sucks" is VERY well known throughout the english speaking world to mean this. Any moderation on the grounds that the moderation was done "In deference to international sensibilities" is ridiculous! This stinks of corporate censorship!
Rather than censor everyone's comments, how about you (the company) just fix the issues and let us know they are fixed OR if fixing them isn't going to happen in the near future at least let us know that you're working on it!
I have not seen even one official comment by Skype or Microsoft staff regarding this issue! NOT ONE! That implies to me that there is something seriously wrong and its almost definitley not going to be fixed any time soon!
Perhaps after all these years of being a happy customer it is time to start looking at moving away from Skype to another service...

Mail handles .Mac really badly-what's up?

Since I put my .Mac email account into my Mail application, it has worked really badly and I am considering just deleting off the .Mac account and not using it anymore as it is so annoying. Essentially, having the .Mac account in Mail slows everything else (my other email accounts) down to a ridiculous level. When I check "All", and sometimes when I send even one email, the Activity Viewer shows me that Mail is struggling to open .Mac mailboxes and stuff like that, and while it is struggling to do various things with .Mac, including synchronizing, the other email accounts are held up in the queue (ho hum... very boring). To prevent this, I went into the .Mac account and unchecked the "Include when automatically checking for new mail", but this has no effect whatsoever, probably because I usually check for new mail manually anyway.
I have two Macs at present, an older G4 flat panel iMac (1.25 Ghz), and a brand new dual core intel MacBook (2Ghz) and the problem is exactly the same on both Macs. Anyone having similar problems or knows a fix to this? Would love to hear!

There is a setting under the Advanced tab for the
account preferences to not keep all messages and
their attachments available for offline viewing but I
don't use this setting and don't experience the same
problems.
To clarify, do you mean that you "do not" keep all messages (etc.) available for offline viewing, or that you "do" keep all messages (etc.) available? At present, I have this option to "keep all messages and attachments available for off-line viewing" checked positive, by default I presume.
After first creating the account if there
are a number of server stored mailboxes and messages
available on the server, the mailbox and message
synchronization process takes longer than normal and
the time it takes for subsequent synchronization
should not be a real long process unless a number of
changes have been make with server stored mailboxes.
Odd thing is that I only have one saved message in the .Mac account, and that is a tiny weeny one (about 10K) with no attachments or anything! By the way, since I have just been going through everything all over again, I notice that what really seems to be holding things up (I've now changed synchronization to "manual" on both computers) is when I "Get Mail" and Mail is trying to open the .Mac mailbox - this goes on interminably (as I can see in Activity Viewer).
Try using the Rebuild Mailbox function on all server
stored mailboxes. All messages will disappear
temporarily and the mailbox will be resynchronized
with the server.
Sorry for being dense, but I've been all over my Mail application and all over my .Mac settings and I can't find this "Rebuild Mailbox" function. Could you please tell me exactly where I can find this Rebuild Mailbox function?

Video quality in scope is really bad and dark

When I send my sequence from Final Cut Pro to Color, why does the video in the scope area come out so bad where I can barely see anything? Basically the video is nothing like the quality in final cut pro and the picture is very very dark.
When I see the tutorials online of the videos being sent to color from final cut, the quality is exactly the same and they don't do any adjustment.
Can someone please help me fix this? I work with AVCHD. Thanks!

Thanks George.
Now the quality is not "really" bad anymore, it is bad. ;-)
The quality got better, but still there is a difference between drawing shapes and cell borders. And the difference is causing problems with customers, who are demanding professional quality.
Here is a .jpg of the original Excel table. The drawing shape is the outer one, the cell borders are the lines beneath the data. Both line types are very delicat. This is how it should be.
And this is how it looks after a pdf-print with setting "high quality print" (2400 dpi).
The outer drawing shape is ok. The thin horizontal lines are twice as thick than before.
I know, it is about details. But those details make the difference between a professional and an amateur performance.
Do you have another idea, how to improve the pdf quality?
Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.

Screen flickering really bad after unplugging external monitor

Hello,
Since I updated my Macbook Pro 13' Retina (inch, Early 2013) to Mavericks, almost averytime I unplug my external monitor or TV, the screen starts flickering really bad. This is the screenshot of the issue. Sometimes you can see all the apps opens, but the "flicker" effect takes over the screen, making it impossible to user the computer. The only way I found to use the compuer again is restarting it. It's really weird.

Howdy inireugg,
We've an article that provides a host of helpful information and tips for resolving issues with displays.
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

ITunes 11 sounds really bad any fix?

I noticed that the new iTunes sounds really bad compared to other players like VLC or Quicktime any idea how to fix this.
I tried to adjust the equalizer and the sound enhancer and no luck, it is definitely not the speakers because the same song sound great with VLC or Quicktime, all I try to download is high bitrate songs like 320 kbps.
Appreciate any help!

Hi Doug,
Not at the moment unfortunately. Apple did use the glass effect shelf dock on the side in the development versions of Leopard, but took it out and only used it on the bottom in the final release because of a few problems with the reflection and stack effects. I'd bet that within a few months they'll be rolling an update out which will give you this option if you really want.

IPod lags really bad...

My iPod is lagging really bad, it takes about 15 seconds to load a song and sometimes just totaly freezes up. It was working fine yesterday but just all of a sudden today it started freezing up. I tried to restore it but now today my computer doesn't see it in iTunes. I went through all of the steps apple recomends but it didn't help.
Thanks

it sounds like a hard drive issue to me.. you might be stuck sending it in.

Lock button not locking phone and sound thru earpiece really bad

Hi, have an iPhone 5, within a few months the lock button failed to lock my phone and during a phone call the sound thru my earpiece is really bad distorted and sometimes intermittent. ( not due to signal tho)
Are these common problems and will apple fix them or give replacement??
Many thanks

Well, if only a few months old then you are under the 1 Yr warranty that comes with the device, either contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Retail Store

Convertion from pdf is really bad

Hi !
First, i m pretty ignorant in making pdf form...
I need to make an interractive form from a pdf file (25 pages) given by a friend.
he gave me 2 version of the file, a 'normal' pdf and one in form version (without any calcul or interractivity).
(but it lacks 3 fonts)
I tried to make it with Acrobat :
with both version of the file,
i c'ant find all the events i need in 'Action' tab when i try to add some code on a textBox like 'change', 'docReady'...
But the way i can make the form is really good. In fact i only need to add textbox, radiobutton... i don't want to edit text.
With LiveCycle i create a new document from the pdf and i select interractive. i need to change tooltip, visibility of objects..., wich can t be done with non interractive form (if i understand correctly ?).
my problem is that the converted file is really bad, the convertion log contains a lot of errors.
and it will take me a lot of time to correct, adapt it, plus, images are pixelised ( why ??).
My questons :
Can i make interractive form without converting the document ? like with Acrobat or non interractive forms ?
Is there a way to have a source file instead of the pdf ? wich contains images, fields... so there will be no convertion.
Thanx for reading

Thanks George.
