Help needed to extend my wifi so TC can be accessed..

Hi there,
Ive attached an image of my current network setup to help explain things. But basically, i am currently unable to access my Time Capsule (and attached USB drive) when I'm connected via my NicksWifi2 wifi signal downstairs. If I'm attached to the NicksWifi signal all works fine.
Is there anything I can easily do to make my TPlink router behave like it is my main router?
Ive seen wifi extenders (and ones that go through power http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ECBRGW8?colid=1O1PXGWZD901F&coliid=I3V052B XIQ2OD0&psc=1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl)   but I'm not sure if id have the same problem if I bought one of these?
any help would be much appreciated as this is quite frustrating
thanks!

Your setup should work.. as it stands.. but the TP-Link should be in WAP mode or WAN Bypass.
Go back to your original picture.
Virgin modem working as router (although having it bridged and the TC as main router is also fine).
Then the TP-Link (what model is this exactly??)
Should be in bridge .. which in this case means router bridge not wireless bridge. Unfortunately the terms are easily confused.
The easiest way IMHO is to use WAN bypass.
In the TP-Link router set the IP to something on the same network as the existing devices.. better though if outside the DHCP range.
eg.. virgin router is 192.168.1.1 (I have no idea what it actually is.. so you will need to fill that in).
Lets say the TC gets an IP of 192.168.1.10 from it.. could be anything.. and it is better to set it so it doesn't change.
Give the TP-Link a different IP.. and here is where you can strike problems.. Lets give it an IP of 192.168.1.100 but tell me if it doesn't stick.. or refuses the IP.. I have tried this setup and had issues..
Anyway .. if you can set the IP correctly to something in the range.. then turn off the dhcp in the TP-Link.
Plug your EOP adapter.. LAN of the upstairs to LAN of the TP-Link.. (hence the name.. bypass the WAN).
This is successful for 90% of routers. TP-Link routers sometimes have preset IP addresses that are not allowed.. it is always assumed that the TP-Link is going to be the main router.. but you can work around it..
It is going to help loads to have an actual model number.
And I want IP addresses of virgin modem and the TC.. I also want you to set the TC to always get the same IP otherwise this is really unreliable.
You can use this method to setup the TC..

  • I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

    I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

    Since you have the new Time Capsule, then you will need a new AirPort Extreme to match the performance capabilities of the Time Capsule.
    If best quality is preferred, you will need to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection between the devices. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it is needed...and there will be no loss of signal through the Ethernet cable.
    A wireless connection will result in a significant drop in performance, but it might be OK for your uses, if you want to try it that way first to see if the performance is acceptable.
    It is really important that the AirPort Extreme be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    A line-of-sight relationship between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be the goal, with the AirPort Extreme located about half way between the Time Capsule and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage.

  • I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc.  Any help...  From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone.  The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

  • Help needed in Extending HeaderVO -VERY URGENT!!

    Hello,
    I need a urgent help.
    Actually I am trying to modify the exisiting Print Quote Document which is actually getting called from a template cald ASOPRINTQUOTE.xsl
    This particular xsl uses HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO and hence I had to modify these xml and in turn the .java files.
    I customized it by adding the new columns thru JDeveloper and extending the VO's and substituting them
    In the process while extending the respective VO's comes a step wherein I need to specify(Thru JDeveloper) Application Short Name and Responsibility Key.
    Now the issue is this particular Quote dicument can be accessed from 2 different respons. called
    Oracle HTML Order Quoting Sales Agent(Its a OA framework with application top as QOT)
    & Quoting Sales Agent.(Its form based with Application top as ASO)
    I chose ASO as the top as all my .class files and .xml files are present in
    oracle/apps/aso/print/server
    Now then after extending the VO's and importing it etc . when I log in thru the reponsibilty
    Oracle HTML Order Quoting Sales Agent , it gets me a error of stmt exception.
    wheras
    it runs via the respon Quoting Sales Agent and reproduces a PDF output without any data??
    There are few questions I am looking out for an answer desperately.
    1) My HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO are extended, so do i need to extend the links present in that in my new extended VO' s as well.
    2) My xsl stylesheet has a statement as
    select values of:....../HeaderVO/HeaderRow/....etc etc
    do i need to replace the above line to my new extended VO i.e
    select values of:....../CustHeaderVO/HeaderRow/...etc etc
    Kindly reply to me asap as I am in a development scenario..
    Do let me kow if u need more clarity on this?
    Regards,
    Ajit

    Oracle quoting is not in OAF, only the print functionality uses these VOs as data source , and are used in the xsl, for XML publisher to generate the quote print .
    1) My HeaderVO, LinesVO and PromptVO are extended, so do i need to extend the links present in that in my new extended VO' s as well.
    Please explain this , what do you mean by extending links ?2) My xsl stylesheet has a statement as
    select values of:....../HeaderVO/HeaderRow/....etc etc
    do i need to replace the above line to my new extended VO i.e
    select values of:....../CustHeaderVO/HeaderRow/...etc etc

  • Have WIFI connection but can't access Safari or App store, nothing.  Can anyone help??

    I have just bought a iPad 2 WI-FI 16G today.  I have a full WI-FI connection but can't access the App store or Safari for any webpages, can anyone help?
    Thanks!!!!

    Despite what you call, "a full WiFi connection", you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid local network IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to the router for 30 seconds and then  restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    3. Microsoft router MN-500:
    Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
    On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
    I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
    I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

    SUCCESS!!!!!
    I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
    I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
    Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
    SUCCESS!!!
    Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

  • IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

    Hi everyone,
    I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days.  This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem.  But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line.  When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message.  I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router.  At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
    Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal.  But I can't access to the internet at all.  It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc.  I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
    Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
    Thank you.

    Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

  • I can't uninstall in order to reinstall. It keeps telling me a previous version needs to have the computer restart. I restart. Back to needing to restart. Right now I can't access Firefox at all.

    I upgraded to the new version and something went funky. Tab weren't working. So thought I'd uninstall and reinstall and now I'm stuck in the cycle. I can't uninstall as it tells me that a previous version needs the computer to restart. I'll restart and then try again and get the same message. If I try to just reinstall, it get the same message. Right now, I can't access Firefox at all. Help!

    Hi @Skeetermarie85,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you are unable to uninstall the software in order to re-install the software with your HP Officejet 8600. I am sorry for the frustration, but I am happy to help!
    I am not sure which version of Windows you are using, but this should work with Windows XP and up. Please try a level-three uninstall by going through this fatal error guide, Fatal Error 'Error 1155. Not Found.' (MSI Error 1155) Displays During Software Installation in Windo.... Even though this guide does not match your error, I believe the level-three instructions will help.
    If you still need further assistance, please reply with the version of Windows you are using. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
    Hope this helps!

  • Help Needed With "Extend Marker" Function Not Working

    I have several Clips and used the "DV Start/Stop Detect" function to find the time code breaks, which seems to work well. I've now got a clip full of Segment markers.
    The problem arises when I try to use Extent Markers "Option + `" to make subclips. When I put the play head on a subsequent marker, the Marker/Extend function is grayed out.
    Extending a marker that I have created using the M key works perfectly.
    Why can I not use the Extend function on Segment Markers?
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have 30 odd clips that I need to set up segments for, and doing it manually will add hours to my workload.
    Thanks

    Dual G5 2.5 GHz Dual Core, 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Final Cut Studio FCP 5.0.4

    Thanks for the reply.
    I am completely aware of items 1 through 3, and never Extend markers in the Timeline. Only the Viewer.
    To perform an Extend Marker and avoid headaches, load the captured clip - the one with the video icon in the Browser - into the Viewer. Then, as you scrub along in the Viewer, Option-` as needed.
    That is precisely what I am doing.
    To Extend the marker I first double click the clip to load the entire clip into the Viewer, where all the Section markers are displayed. I then check Mark>Markers>Extend and the function is grayed out. However, if I move the playhead one frame prior to the Section marker, the previous Section marker extends to the frame prior to the new play head position.
    If I do this with manually entered markers (using the M key, creating Marker 1, 2, 3.... in sequence on the Viewer timeline), then the Previous marker is extended to the frame immediately prior the the current play head position - i.e. from Marker 1 to Marker 2. I do not have to move off the Marker 2 position to be able to extend Marker 1.
    Also, simply selecting all your Markers and either dragging them to another bin (or pressing Command-U) does not produce the needed subclips?
    Of this I am also aware. I find the Command-U process just confuses the issue, creating more clips to manage (others may disagree). I prefer to simply drag the "Subclips" directly from the Main clip into a Timeline.
    Because you're doing all this to get subclips, right? Or wrong?
    If I understand your reply correctly, I think you misunderstood my problem. I have been using subclips for several years, and find them VERY useful, especially with multi-camera shoots. So, I am quite familiar with creating and extending markers.
    I just started experimenting with the Detect feature and find it works quit well (most of the time). My problem is that the Segment markers created by the Detect process, do not perform the same as manually place markers, as far as the Extend marker function is concerned, anyway.
    BTW - By using the TC display in my Panasonic PV-GS400 Camera, and sending the FCP video via Firewire to the camera, the camera displays the TC on the captured clip, which I then rename the marker to for TC reference. As long as the Date/Time on the cameras are properly synced, syncing clips in the Timeline is a breeze!!
    Anyway, to clarify, my process is as follows:
    1. Capture a clip.
    2. Display the clip in the Viewer
    3. Select "DV Start/Stop Detect" and watch as the section markers appear in the Viewer.
    4. In Viewer, place play head on the first Section marker
    5. Press the M key to Edit Marker.
    6. Change the Name of the marker to the timecode of the Marker now displayed in the Camcorder window.
    7. Use Shift-Down Arrow to move to the next Section Marker
    8. Press Option+` to Extend the previous marker - which does not work and is grayed out in the Mark>Markers>Extend menu.
    9. Back to step 5.
    This process works perfectly with manually created markers. Because the Extend works if I move the play head one frame prior to the current Section marker, this tells me there is something "special" about the Section marker that disables the Extend function, unlike a manually created marker.
    BTW - If I delete the Section marker, and create a manual marker at the same frame, the Extend marker function works again. Again, indicating that Section markers are different somehow from manual Markers.
    Hopefully, this wordy explanation of my process clarifies my problem.
    Aside: The clips are supplied to me by a customer on a 500GB FW800 drive. FCP5 was used to capture the clips from the original Tapes (which I do not have access to). I am the editor for the project.
    Thanks again for the reply. It is greatly appreciated. If there is any other info that I have missed that will help figure this out, please let me know and I will post a response a quickly as possible.

    The message I get is that it can't connect to the server.
    Should there be something in the Router, DNS, Search Domains and Client ID boxes?

  • Help needed with Ipad (ios7) wifi direct print to Samsung m2070fw

    I downloaded the app to the ipad and ran into the snag that the ipad when it tries to connect to the printer via wifi with the provided password when entered fails.  It seems to not work due to the wifi not connecting direct from the ipad to the printer (no router used in this setting).  I called the Samsung support folks and they had no ready solution but to ask here on the Apple commmunity.  Any ideas or key steps I might be missing

    Hi there and welcome to the forum. The feature you're referring to is called "Wireless Direct" and both the Envy 4500 and Envy 5530 have this feature. When a printer has wireless direct printing capability it means your WiFi capable devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop) can make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. This sounds like it would work perfectly in the case of your friend who currently has no ISP. Here is  a link to a web page that explains wireless direct printing in more detail  http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/wireless-direct.html
    I hope this information proves useful and feel free to post back on the Forum with any other questions.
