Express in Extend mode does not improve signal

I configured a Time machine yesterday and had a low connection in my office 2 floors up. I had also bought an Express to extend the range.
Having had some setup issues, Apple Support talked me through it and I have a green light on the Express.
The express is now less than 2 metres from an XP laptop which has connected to the network but the signal strenght is showing as low.
Any suggestions on checking this connection rate / solutions?

Thanks so much for all your replies. I will try to address all the points in this reply.
99, I think you are right, about Apple not supporting using the Ethernet WAN port as a LAN port when the AXp is in the "Extend" mode. However, I had read on the Apple website that it does support using the AXp WAN as a LAN in the WDS "Remote" mode, as you have verified with your older AXp, and which I had also verified with my new AXp. The only problem was, when using the AXp in the WDS "Remote" mode, the AXp ran ONLY at 54 Mbps, even when there were no additional wireless clients connected to it or to the AXt, which kind of defeated the purpose of using the AXp as an Ethernet bridge in the first place.
The only way I could get an AXp bridge to run at 130 Mbps was to use it in the "Extend" mode or the "Join" mode. In the "Join" mode, using the WAN as a LAN works fine when connecting to the Internet, but I am not able to see or screen share with any of the computers on my local network. In the "Extend" mode, I am able to see and screen share with all the computers on my local network, but I am not able to get to the Internet, even though the Network Diagnostic tool reports that my Internet connection "appears" to be working properly, and it gives me all green lights (and as near as I can tell with my limited knowledge of DNS, all that information appears correct, as well).
Bottom line, I don't think Apple has properly enabled the AXp's WAN as a LAN in the "Extend" mode, as they have in the "Join" mode and in the slower WDS "Remote" mode.

Airport Extreme in extender mode does not reconnect after main router reset.

I have an Airport Extreme 4th Gen (extender). set to extend the signal from an Airport Extreme 5th Gen (main). Whenever the main router resets (after reconfig, etc) the extender does not reconnect. I would have to restart the extender before it will connect again to the network. However, my Airport Express set to extend will automatically reconnect. Is this a settings issue? Please advise.

Ok, well I am hoping you are not doing a re-config of your 5'th gen all the time? This should only be done very rarely... we're talking like less than once a year for many people. Unless there's something else going on there, I wouldn't worry about it if you have to power-cycle the 4'th gen once in a few blue moons.

When extending my wifi network using an Extreme as my main and an Express to extend.. does it help to make sure that both devices are on the same channel or does it even make a difference if they are on different channels?

Have you even tried the process in which i have described in my previous post?
Yes, many times. If you are setup to "extend a wireless network, the screen looks like this:
If you click the Wireless Options button, the screen looks like this:
Where is it on this screen that you see a setting to adjust the channel? It sounds like you are confusing "create a wireless network"....which does allow you to adjust channels.....with "exend a wireless network" which does not.
Normally, when you extend a wireless network, AirPort Utility used to always assign the same channel to the extending device. That is no longer the case. It might be the same, or it might be different. You have no control over this, so you have to accept what AirPort Utility thinks is best.

M127fn phone does not give signal fax when pressing 1,2,3

Hi, I am Marc and I am new to this forum. Kindly excuse me of any wrong doing on a prior notice. Thanks! I bought the HP M127fn 4in1 unit one month ago and I am still not able to use this unit fully. On my old fax, Panasonic KX-FP342, when the phone rings and I answer, I can make a normal phone call or press the fax signal button to give a fax signal if it is a fax. However, If I do not answer, the panasonic unit picks up the line and gives a fax signal automatically after 5 unanswered ringtones. With the HP M127FN, I am not able to do this procedure. For description, I have the HP unit connected to the wall outlet and 2 phones in my house. One of the phones is connected to the HP Printer extension port and the second phone is connected to another separate socket ( to the same phone number ). When the phone rings for 5 times and I dont answer, the machine picks up the line and gives a fax signal automatically ( which is the normal procedure). But, the problem is when I answer the line. When I pick up the line and the caller asks me to give him a fax signal, I press 1,2,3 ( i tried this using the normal line and the extension line ) but nothing happens on both lines. So i appologize to the caller and ask him/her to call again which is really annoying me since I get around 10 to 15 faxes per day. I want the unit to answer automatically give a fax signal ( regardless of the caller's type ) after 5 ringtones and I want to answer the phone and be able to give a fax signal by myself if necessary. Fax answer type = automatic, rings type = all rings, extesion phone line = yes, rings to answer =5. Please Help!!!!

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Laserjet m127fn phone, does not give signal fax when pressing 1,2,3. I am happy to help! According to page 48 of your printer's user guide: LCD control panel 1. On the product control panel, press the Setup button.
2. Select Fax Setup, and then select Fax Recv. Setup.
3. Select Extension Phone.
4. Make sure that the On option is selected.
With this setting turned on, you can alert the product to pick up the incoming fax call by pressing 1-2-3 sequentially on the telephone keypad. Turn this setting off only if you use pulse dialing or if you have a service from your telephone company that also uses the 1-2-3 sequence. The telephone company service does not work if it conflicts with the product. 5. Press the Back button to return to the Fax Recv. Setup menu.
6. Select Answer Mode.
7. Select Fax/Tel, and then press the OK button. With this setting, the product automatically picks up all calls and determines if the call is a voice or fax call. If the call is a fax call, the product handles the call as an incoming fax. If the incoming call is detected as a voice call, the product generates an audible synthesized ring to alert you of an incoming voice call. 8. Press the Back button to return to the Fax Recv. Setup menu.
9. Select Fax/Tel Ring Time.
10. Select the number of seconds after which the product should stop sounding the Fax/Tel audible ring to notify you of an incoming voice call, and then press the OK button. Hope this information helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

I have a mac which plays the boot sound but the screen stays black. Recovery mode does not work, as the keyboard is wireless. What do I do?

What it says in the title.
I have an older mac and it worked perfectly until about an hour ago when I shut it down because we needed the room dark for a presentation and the screen saver was putting out light.
Now it won't turn back on. It plays the start up music but the screen stays blank.
The CMD+OPT+R for recovery mode doesn't do anything, the keyboard is wireless so the command doesn't get to the computer and that's the only keyboard I have since that's the one it came with.
I'm looking at making a USB recovery disk but it says that I should click on "Options" in the Disk Utility but there is no options button or menu to click.
From here: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant in step 3 I get stuck.
Also it says that if I make a drive on this computer which has an older OS it might not work on the broken machine with Mavericks.
This machine literally worked and I turned it off and now it does not work and there seems to be nothing I can do... ***...

well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
Good luck.

Digital ICE epson scan (professional mode) does not work

Hello,
I am running the latest Mountian Lion OS on my IMAC and have recently started running some test scans with my Epson Perfection V700 scanner. The supplied Epson software , Epson Scan offers a variety of operating modes, "professional mode" offering the most features. Professional mode offers Digital ICE as an option, however when selected, the Digital ICE does not work.I have compared scans with and without digital ICE and they are exactly the same. Scratches and dirt are not removed by the scan.
If I select a more basic mode ("Home Mode") Digital ICE does work. But this other mode does not offer the range of options offered in porfessional mode.
Has anyone out there used Epson Scan software? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there other scanning software out there which could fully exploit the features of the Epson scanner I have? I tried Vuescn and it does not seem to be compatible with my scanner, so that is off the table.
Dean

You should first read the user manual that came w/your scanner and/or contact Epson tech support.
How is the scanner connected to your iMac? USB cable? Wireless? Firewire?
Has anyone out there used Epson Scan software?
I have an Epson scanner. It only work when it's connected directly to my iMac via USB cable.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Initially.
Is there other scanning software out there which could fully exploit the features of the Epson scanner I have?

How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.

Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not.
it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before.
also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons?
to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.
