Ethernet adapter/wireless repeater and iPhone 4

Hi everybody,
It would be nice if you could help me with a problem I'm having. I'm going to stay two weeks overseas in a place where there's no wifi connection (just the ethernet) and I'm going to bring just my iPhone. The best solution I got until now is to buy an Airport Express but it might not be the best idea (mostly because it's expensive). I was wondering that maybe a wireless powerline would do the trick but I can't find anything that is nearly as similar as the Airport Express. Other brands usually make a router + a powerline that repeats wifi signal.
Maybe another useful solution could be an ethernet adapter for iPhone 4 but I don't think it exists. Or not?
Can anyone help me out with this thing?
Thanks!

Seems like you are going to be limited to using the Airport Express in that situation. Can't really say its a bad thing, because you can always bring it with you when you go to other places. Only thing you'll have to worry about then is actually having electricity. So don't go into the woods for too long LOL!
Maybe you can find a better solution by using the D-Link like nabokova stated, or even using an Amped Wireless. Take a look at http://www.wifirepeaterreviews.com they have a bunch of them, maybe find someone in the same situation as you.

10GB Ethernet Adapter for RD210 and RD220

Hi together,
i´m searching for a 10GB Ethernet Adapter for the RD210 and RD220 Servers.
Is the Lenovo 10Gbps Ethernet X520-DA2 Server Adapter by Intel (0C19486)
compatible?
Thx and Greetings
Andreas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Andreas,
I checked into this for you. Unfortunately, we do not provide any drivers for this adapter with the RD210/RD220. I can't say for certain that it won't work, just that Lenovo does not have drivers for the device for use with those servers.

Time Capsule as a Wireless Repeater and Backup

Hi there,
I am thinking of purchasing a 1TB Time Capsule in order to wirelessly backup my files for all computers on my network. He is what I currently have on my wireless network:
1 belkin 54g wireless modem router
1 PC laptop
1 MacBook Pro 15 inch
At the same time I would like to by a repeater in order to extend the range of my wireless network. I also have a hard wired ethernet cable running from the belkin wireless router to a bedroom upstairs.
My question therefore is can the time machine drive be plugged in to this ethernet cable upstairs from the belkin and then use that connection to repeat the wireless signal as well as being accessed for backup purposes?
Thanks in advance.

By configure to connect as a wireless client you mean that the time capsule can 'hook onto' or connect to my existing wireless network just like my Mac does...
Yes
...or it could plug into one of the ethernet ports of the back of the belkin router?
That was the 2nd option I mentioned.

Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and iPhone

Is it possible to pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the iPhone using Bluetooth??

My vote for this in a future update.
The iPhone is useful as it is, but when I try to use it out-and-about to admin a load of unix machines it gets very boring typing long and complex command lines in using the onscreen keyboard. The BT keyboard I already have which I used to use with an iPaq was excellent for this.
Onscreen KB - great example of the breed for "normal" use, but please give us the choice Apple!

Wireless keyboard and iPhone 3GS

I am looking to buy an Apple wireless keyboard to hook up to my iPhone 3GS, but will it link via Bluetooth?

YES IT WILL WORK.
I know because I do it.
I don't know where Barry Hemphill got his info. I originally bought the Apple Bluetooth keyboard so I could run a home theater Mac from across the room. When I got my iPhone 3GS, it was already known that the iPhone officially supported the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. When I tried to pair them, it worked, and it's worked ever since. And it works with my iPad as well. I understand that non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards also work.
I took the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with me on a trip once where I knew I didn't need my laptop, but I wanted to type out some longer emails. It worked great, and was much less painful than long-form text entry on the iPhone keyboard.
The key to using the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with an iPhone or iPad is knowing about holding down the power switch on the side, so you can turn it off. This prevents unintended keystrokes from waking up an iPhone or iPad during transport.
Here is the official Apple tech note. The iPhone 3GS is listed.

WAP54G Wireless Repeater still has problems after setup

I have a WAP54G configured as a Wireless Repeater to my WRT54GS router. I have configured all equipment on my wireless network (192.169.1.xxx) with static IP's. My Router MAC has been entered in the WAP54G and the link works . . . kinda . . . .sorta. . . .with issues
I also have an A/V receiver hard-wired to the RJ-45 at the Wireless Repeater.  I am able to access Internet Radio stations on the A/V Receiver thru the Wireless Repeater uplinked to the Router and out to Internet. I also have a Synology NAS which is hard-wired back at my WRT54GS router. Although the A/V Receiver can "see" all audio files and folders on my network NAS, I am unable to play any of the MP3 files. The Receiver will immediately display "Access Error". As a test, if I temporarily plug the NAS network directly into the A/V Receiver (threreby bypassing all of my home networking) all MP3's will play fine.  Therefore, the problem must either be in the WAP54G, the WRT54GS, or the configuration in one or both of them..
My connections are:
A/V Receiver ------ WAP54GS {{{{{{{{{ wireless }}}}}}}}}}} WRT54GS ----- CABLE Modem ------- Internet
I also have a NAS directly hard-wired into one of the WRT54GS RJ-45 ports.
My questions::
1. When configured as a Wireless Repeater, wll the WAP54G still fully function with hard-wired devices connected directly into the RJ-45 port (as I currently have it set up)? Most all of the literature and articles I've seen concentrate on the expansion of the Wi-Fi portion of the Wireless Repeater only and make minimal or no mention of using the integral RJ-45 port.
2. Since the WAP54G Wireless Repeater has a separate actual IP address, do I need to do any changes to addressing on either my A/V Receiver, NAS? or Router Specifically, does the Wireless Repeater become fully "transparent" to my home network or do I need to re-enter different IP addresses, port forwarding or port trigerring? (This is the stuff I don't really understand.)
3. Should the system basically function as I have described or is there anything I'm obviously missing that would prevent the A/V Receiver from properly communicating with the NAS thru the Wireless Repeater and the Router?
All replys or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,
As far as your sketch is concerned . . .Yes, that is what I attempted to describe in my earlier postings.
Before my first post, I attempted to verify as much as I was able.
I noted earlier that I had tried AP Client and could not get it to work. Literature for the WAP states that the only mode which can connect a WAP to a WRT router is the Wireless Repeater mode. On the WAP, both AP Client, and Wireless Bridge modes state that each will only communicate with another (second) WAP (there is no mention of WRT in those modes). That would require a second WAP and yet more $$$, just to uplink ONE RJ-45 to my router.  OK, since it can't damage anything, I tried the other modes just for "grins & giggles". It resulted in a very-unhappy wireless network. All network devices poped up with IP-Conflict errors and the network came to a crashing halt.  This is why I ended up with Wireless Repeater mode.
Yes, with the WAP configured as Wireless Repeater, I AM able to easily ping the receiver from anywhere on my network. In fact, I've tried 3-4 different ethernet devices plugged into the RJ-45 port of the WAP and I can ping them all.  Amazingly, every other ethernet device I plug into thje WAP work perfectly  . . except streaming music from my NAS to my A/V receiver. At that point, I suspected the receiver has a network port problem except it perfectly streams internet radio thru the WAP.  The only thing the WAP will not stream successfully is music from my NAS. I should also clarify that ALL firewall features on my NAS are disabled because it is already on the secure side of my router. Therefore, I'm positive nothing in the NAS is blocking access from the WAP.  I've also verified my other 3 home PC's can access the NAS. Two PC's are hard-wired to my router net and one PC is a laptop with wi-fi linked to my WRT router (all are on my 192.168.1.xxx network).  The REALLY screwy part is that I CAN display all files and folders on the NAS from the receiver . . they just won't successfully play without giving a network error message. Lastly, as a test, I've even temporarily disabled all wi-fi security. Result is identical.
To eliminate everything but the WAP, I temporarily stretched a 75' Cat-5 cable between the receiver and my WRT router. With no other changes or setting mods, it immediately works perfectly. Seriously, I've spent dozens & dozens of hours on this. I"ve even borrowed another WAP from a friend (same version & newest firmware revision) and once it is configured, it does the exact same thing. I've even did a WAP hardware "Reset" and reconfigured it from scratch . . . also same thing.
Again, to clarify, ALL of this is on the same side of my home network. Everything is within my 192.168.1.xxx. I've triple-checked that I have no IP confilicts, I've tried both DHCP and using static IP's.  I've even tried disconnecting ALL other devices except for my receiver, the WAP and the WRT with the same results.   I am NOT trying to access any of this from the internet side of my router, so I shouldn't need to mess with port forwarding amd all that. Everything says it "should" work . . . but yet it doesn't, on TWO different WAP devices. All I can figure out is that the RJ-45 port on the WAP is not "fully transparent" when configured as a Wireless Repeater. The literature does not state whether it is or if the device is designed as a Wi-Fi repeater only.
Since I'm only trying to get a single RJ-45 device up-linked to my router, I'm inclined to pick up a $30 ethernet to wi-fi gaming adapter, throw my old WAP on the shelf and get a beer. It should work, and I've spent WAY too much time on this already.

Mac Mini Ethernet Adapter

The ethernet port on my 2006 Mac Mini 1.6Ghz is dying and I am wanting to replace it with a USB ethernet adapter. I see that Apple sells one but it says for the Macbook Air. Just wondering if anyone has found a third-party usb ethernet adapter that works, and if anyone has tried the Apple version on their Mac Mini.
Thanks very much!

I have not found a compatible USB ethernet adapter for the Mac Mini. Some do exist that "might" work but they are expensive and may require extensive knowledge of drivers.

Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter AVB/IEEE1588 Support.

Hi,
I have just seen that the Ethernet port has been removed from the MacBook Pro (retina). The Ethernet port was interestting for AVB (audio-video-bridging) development. Now that it's gone, do you know if the Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter supports AVB and IEEE1588?
Thanks!

Yes, it will work.
All Apple Macs with a Thunderbolt port are AVB capable.

IPhone 3gs and wireless repeater

Hi, I read that home sharing doesn't work with repeater (under the main router work perfectly) but my problem is that under the wireless repeater I can't see shared library, but in the settings, if I type wrong credentials, it refuses, if I type correct credentials, nothing happens, but I can't see the library. Anyone have this problem and can help me? Why I can access and I can't see the library? It can be a problem of iTunes?

But, it appears that if you are a stanch Apple fan and have an Apple access point you have less chance of it failing.
Not true. Lots of people who own Aiport and TimeCapsule access points are having WiFi trouble too.
If you have near the current-technology access point that is not from Apple supporting 2.4/5Ghz then there is a chance of failure.
That's like saying if you are human you have a chance of dying. Well, yes, but not real helpful. There's a known issue with a subset of devices that are configured to broadcast both G and N signals and that, I guess is what you are referring to.
There are a few other conditions. But, Apple seems to be relying on the users to test it.
I'm not really sure what else Apple can do than that. You might be tempted to reply that Apple should buy one of every WiFi router on the market and test the iPad against it. Okay that sounds reasonable until you consider this: manufacturers change suppliers and update firmware without changing model numbers. You and two buddies can go out and buy the same exact router - by manufacturer name and model number - and essentially wind up with three different routers in terms of components and firmware. Given that situation how can Apple or any other company hope to test against all routers? And that doesn't even take into consideration the multiple ways a router can be configured, the surrounding environs, etc.

Airport extreme: my macbook, cannon wireless printer, ipad and iphone cannot connect to internet when Apple Tv and/or PS3 is connected

Please help! I have an Airport Extreme (model A1143) as my router, and I have several devices connected to it wirelessly and wired. I have my Macbook, Macbook Pro, iPad 1, iPhone 4S, HTC Thunderbolt, Cannon wireless printer, and Apple TV (gen 1) connected wirelessly. I have my PS3, an external hard drive and DirecTV connected via ethernet cable (but sometimes my PS3 is also connected wirelessly).
I began to notice a few months back that my wireless printer had connection errors and could not print. And I noticed soon after that, from time to time, the internet connection on my Macbook and iPad was extremely slow, to the point that I could not surf the web. I tried several different printers before realizing that this problem was happening only when I had my PS3 turned on. I tried both PS3 wirelessly and wired, but the problem persisted. I figured it was a problem with the PS3, so I just made sure that PS3 is off when I need to use the wireless in the house. But I recently bought an ATV (gen 1) and also noticed the same problem when it was connected to the Airport Extreme (wirelessly) - i.e., Ican't print, and my internet is super super slow on macbook, ipad, etc.
So, it must be that my Airport Extreme is the problem, not the PS3 or the ATV. Is there anything I can do to fix this (i.e., some setting that has to be changed)? Or do you think that my Extreme is just dying out on me and it's time for a replacement (I bought it about 5 years ago)?

This problem, for reasons unknown to me, has resolved itself on its own. After several attempts finally everything decided to work. How does stuff like this happen? Thank you.

Using AE as wireless ethernet adapter

I've read through the airport express manual but can't seem to find if I can configure it to serve as a wireless ethernet adapter. I have an existing 802.11g wireless network (from a Westell router) and want to connect a computer that only has wired ethernet. I'd like to plug this computer into the wired connection on the AE and use the AE as a bridge to the existing wireless network. I know there's other hardware designed to do this, but I'd also like the AE's audio out at this location.
Thanks for the help.

It is not possible to do this with your current router. I don't believe your current router can do WDS network with Express, which is the only way you can activate ethernet port.

Before starting AHT, be sure to disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, and Ethernet adapter. Also disconnect any external optical drives. What does this include?

I have tried repeatedly to use the Apple Hardware test on my iMac desktop 10.7.3 early 2009 4 GB with no luck. What am I doing wrong? I have everything I can think of unplugged. Do I need to disconnect BlueTooth in Preferences?
Thanks

My ipad and iphone with ios 6 fight me to log on to my wireless hotspot

I am deployed and have a wireless hot spot for my internet. Both my ipad and iphone fight me everytime i try to log into it. They will log on to it.. Stay on for varying times.. Then log off and i get a page not found message. My hotspot requires me to log it in to the internet everytime i turn it on, so i have to log on to it by IP address.. Put in my password, and then connect it to the internet. Sometimes if i am fast enough, i can toggle between the settings and safari and get itto work.. But it goes like this..
- connect to wifii
- go to safari and go to login page
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi-- click on hot spot
- back to safari wait for wifi symbol -- if it shows up, try to load login page
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- Back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari - if login page loaded.. Enter password and click login..
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari - hope connection page is loaded -- if it is-- hit connect
- pop up screen with page not found -- wifi symbol disappears
- back to wifi settings.. Click on hotspot
- back to safari.. Refresh connection page-- if the internet connection has been made.. It will stay on the wifi.. If not.. I have to repeat steps.. Some multiple times
I have tried toggling all wifi related items.. Turned off siri.. Reset network settings twice.. Stood on my head and juggled a chicken, a pony, and a fiat,and every other crack pot notion out there to fix this, nothing has worked. Still stuck with this same situation. Non apple devices have no trouble loggomg on to my hotspot and getting through the login process... Sooooo.. *** do i do??

This is good support apple community.. Im the only person on the planet with this problem i guess.. Thanks

Ultra 40 m2 wireless network and adapter

I got a ultra 40 m2 with solaris on it for use at my house. I only have a wireless network setup.
What is the best wireless network adapter for the x86 sun?
Any issues I need to be aware for installation and setup?
thanks
j.

Hello,
please review the HCL. If there are no adapters listed, get a Access Point/Wireless Ethernet Adapter which attaches to the ethernet port.
E.g. the Asus WL-330g or newer
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2004/07/22/asus-wl-330g-access-pointwireless-ethernet-adapter/
The link to the Asus page from the article didn't work (maybe only temporarily)
http://usa.asus.com/products/communication/wireless/wl-330g/overview.htm
Another alternative is to review the posts in the OpenSolaris forums (laptop for Cardbus/PCMCIA, x86 for general support). I don't know if Solaris supports wireless out of the box and if the wireless drivers from OpenSolaris work with the current (older) Solaris release.
