Having trouble with multiple wireless users on WRT54G router

Basically, there are 3 of us wirelessly sharing the internet via a linksys WRT54G router. I have our router password-protected, to avoid randoms stealing out broadband. I am a Mac user (3 year old computer), the other 2 are on PC laptops.
At the moment, I have an excellent internet connection, and it's working just fine. However, if my room mate connects with their laptop (a fairly new model), my internet connection stops working. I still have a signal, but it just really slows down/often stops working entirely. It's  as if their wireless connection takes priority and ignores mine (essentially nullifying the router's purpose).
Has anyone come across a problem like this before? Your assistance would be super helpful and appreciated.

Hi, perhaps you may try the following steps to improve the performance of your router:
• Upgrade the router’s firmware
• Reset the router after the firmware upgrade
• Optimize the router’s wireless settings
• Use a wifi analyzer like http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to set a non overlapping channel to the router
• Relocate the router on a more central location for better wireless coverage
• Avoid placing the router on a glass or metallic surface

  • Having trouble with multiple user accounts

    I am still getting used to Aperture and am having trouble with multiple user accounts on my Mac.
    My wife and I have separate accounts on our Mac, and both have Administrator rights. We keep our Aperture library in the "Shared" folder, and I have made sure that both she and I have read/write capabilities on the Aperture library.
    However, she has difficulty creating new projects, saving data, and viewing thumbnails in Aperture. Whenever she creates a project, it does not save into Aperture, and cannot be viewed by any user. In addition, changes she makes to photos do not save. She also cannot view thumbnails of any photos (although she can see the photos in the viewer).
    Are there any changes I need to make to the user accounts so she can have all these capabilities?
    Many Thanks.

    Rather than having the Aperture library reside in the shared folder, keep it within a folder residing at the top level of your mac, eg.
    I actually keep mine on one of my RAID disks.

  • I'm having trouble with using Calculated-User Can Override, it will not honor my overide

    I'm having trouble with using Calculated-User Can Override, it will not honor my overide.  I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v.8.2

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • I upgraded Lion recently to 10.7.3. Since that time I am having trouble with my wireless connection. All other devices are fine, but I keep losing the connection since the upgrade.

    Recently I upgraded Lion to 10.7.3. Since that time I have been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection. I keep losing the connect and have to go to diagnostics and turn it back on. Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks, Pat

    I'm afraid there are numerous threads on here discussing this problem. I posted in this one earlier that has a couple of suggestions, but the real solution will hopefully be provided in an update from Apple:

  • Having trouble with multiple rotations around an objects poles

    Hey all, i am new to java 3d (only started coding today) but i have been coding in Java for a while..
    I am having a problem understanding how to perform the rotations i want to. I have read the majority of the literature i can find on performing these kinds of rotations. I realise that i need to have correctly linked nodes in the graph so that i am rotating around the correct points and i think i have accomplished this. However, i cannot get the system to rotate around the objects poles. To clarify, i can get the object to rotate around one of its poles (x , y, z) in some cases but trying to do multiple rotations causes problems.

                        e.printStackTrace();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
              new TestRotation();
    }As you can see the code is a full class so you can copy and paste it to run it... In the 'begin' method you will notice the variables that update the rotation, currently when the cube rotates on the y axis the cube is rotating around the viewers Y axis and not around the objects y pole. However, if you change the values so the cube is set to rotate around the X axis then it will treat the x axis as the objects x pole and not the viewers x axis. I presume this is because of the multiplication of the matrices.
    What i want to know is how can i set it so that if i say rotate around the y axis it rotates the cube around its y axis (as in the y pole) regardless of where the y pole is. Not only that but i need to be able to rotate around multiple axis ensuring that it is rotating around the objects poles correctly.
    The reason for this is that the object will be turned into an auv (underwater vehicle) fitted with thrusters which are going to turn the vehicle so no matter how the vehicle is positioned (facing up, upside down etc) the thruster always rotate around the same axis on the block.
    Hope this makes sense, sorry for the long post!!

    Since the 2-Wire gateway is providing both modem and DHCP services, you would want to insure that the Time Capsule is not also configured to provide DHCP services as well.  If this were the case, that would mean two routers are trying to do the same thing on the same network. You only want one device on a network performing as a router.
    The reason for this is that a two router setup is likey to create IP address conflicts on the network, which likely may be your issue.
    To check, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Insure that the setting for Router Mode is set to Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update to save the correct setting
    Then power cycle the entire network by powering off all devices in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Start the 2-Wire gateway first and let it run a minute by itself
    Start the Time Capsule next the same way
    Continue starting devices the same way until everything is powered back up.
    Power off the entire network...all devices...and wait a minute

  • Having trouble with multiple lines

    I'm trying to fill out this form for an application that is a read/enter/print only PDF, and I got to a multiple line box and instead of being able to enter text in line for line, when you try to enter text it shows as one big format which I can't change. Illustration below:
    http://i.imgur.com/Yukk8.jpg
    I don't know if it's some setting I have wrong or they didn't make the text box right or what, but I need to know if there's anything I can do to fix it because they mandated that the form be filled out electronically. Thanks in advance.

    I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
    At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

  • I'm having trouble with multiple speaker connections in iTunes?

    Home network running through a Time Capsule:
    1. MacBook
    2. Apple TV (Living Room)
    3. Apple TV (Bedroom)
    4. AirPort Express (Connected to speakers in Kitchen)
    Issue:
    In iTunes I can see and play muisic through all my Apple TVs and the AirPort Express station. However, when I want to connect to multiple speakers (locations) The only two iteams that show up are a single Apple TV (bedroom) and the computer. I can't figure out why my AirPort Express or the other Apple TV (Living Room) will not show up? All my devices have the most recent updates, and function properly as far as connectiong and playing music individualy.
    Can anybody help me figure out why the second Apple TV or AirPort Express won't show up in the "mulitple speaker" selection dialog box?
    Cheers,
    Acolle

    Now my new issue is they are not perfectly synchronized from station to station! What a bummer!
    I wonder if the older Airport Express, hooked up to my kitchen speakers only, with a differerent network performance profle than the new Apple TVs, is to blame?

    You need to find a CDMA carrier  in the UK and see if they offer iPad data plans.  If not, you can sell it and get a GSM iPad the one that uses SIM cards (the AT&T version here in the USA).

  • Having trouble with multiple lines of text in a JTable

    Hello,
    I am trying to use a JTable rather like a table in Word so that as I type text into a cell that row of cells grows in height to accomodate the text typed.
    I used custom cell editors and renderers to put a JTextField (I think it was) into each cell. These allow the entry of more than one line but the row height is still wrong. So I interceot every key press and work out the height of the custom editor, and set the row height to the max of the cells in the row on each key depression. However, this is a very clunky solution and also does not cope with cell resizing.
    I can't believe that it is this hard to get cells/rows that resize in response to typing. So I'd be grateful if someone knows of a better way of doing this.
    Many thanks in advance...

  • Hi, having trouble with my iMac on startup. Background screen appears, but no icons,

    Having trouble with my iMac- on startup, the background screen appears, but no icons. The spinning beach ball appears for quite a long while, then when the icons finally come up, when I open a finder window, the only icons to appear are the Network and Macintosh HD icons. I've tried to repair disk permissions: this came up with heaps of errors, which it then fixed, but the original problem remains.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Same problem(s) in safe mode?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak?  Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
    Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
    Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.
