Help - Trying to add a Homehub 2 to extend my Home...

Hi All
I've recently acquired a Homehub 2 (type A) and I'm trying to add it to my network to extend my Wifi.  My primary router is a Homehub 3 (type A).  I'm using TP Link Powerline adapters around my house to extend my wired network, and plugging my HH2 into a gigabit switch from one of the Powerline adapters (I know this works as I have a working Xbox and WDTV both networked from the switch via the Powerline adapter).
I've followed the guide here (http://www.filesaveas.com/jarviser/repeaterhubswired.html) to set up the HH2 as a WAP.
I've successfully reset to HH2 back to the factory defaults, accessed the HH2 via the preset admin password, reset the admin password, renamed the SSID to a unique SSID, given the SSID a password, disabled DHCP, disabled the firewall, and reset the IP address to 192.168.1.175.
Currently I can locally browse to the HH2 web client and login at 192.168.1.175.  I can also see the HH2 via wifi on my network.  However, the issue is that when i attempt to connect to the HH2 via wifi it never manages to assign the device an IP address.
Anyone any ideas as to the problem / solution?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got the same problem at the weekend (albeit between two HH 2 type a routers) when the power line adapters weren't connecting to each other.  If you have changed the DHCP settings in the "slave" router - the IP addresses will be allocated by the master router.  If the slave cannot connect to the master then it can't assign an IP address.
Anyway that's what seemed to have happened to me - immediately the two routers were connected the IP addresses resolved immediately.
You may want to try resetting the powerline adapters and make sure they are connecting to each other (on the BT supplied adapters that means the top "data" light is displaying green on both adapters).  I also found that sometimes after a disconnection or the master router being switched off, I had to restart the "slave" router after the master router was available again.
I hope this helps.

  • AirPort Extreme wireless was working fine until I tried to add the extreme to extend network range...now neither is working and I can't fix.

    Help please?  I got the Express yesterday and had it set up and working fine.  However I found the signal and connection wasn't going far enough/fast enough for all areas of my home I wanted it to.  Today I got the Extreme.  I unplugged the Express, plugged in the Extreme and set up the new wireless network for that one just fine and it was working great.  However, I still wasn't getting quite the connection/speed I wanted through out my house, so I tried to add the Express to extend the network I set up from the Extreme and now neither one is working.  I tried resetting and starting over from the beginning but I can't even get just the Extreme to work by itself and am not sure what to do.

    The following are the basic steps to configure an extended network with two 802.11n AirPort. Please take a look to check if anything was missed when you configured yours.
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
    Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

    any help would be mch appreciated

    Which server-side programming languages and databases are you using for your site? 
    There are several voting widgets (plug-ins) available for WordPress, Joomla! & Drupal. If you're using one of those frameworks to build your site, that's probably where you should begin searching.

  • HELP Trying to add a printable image to a pdf Acro Prof 6

    I've already spent 4 days too many on this project. I've been asked to take this pdf and create one identical for the company. It's a fillable form also so instead of trying to recreate everything from scratch I was able to edit the text and change over everything that I needed to, which wasnt much.
    Except.... I can not get our company logo on the top of the page. I have Acrobat Professional 6. Yesterday I finally thought I solved the problem going under Tools -> Advanced Commenting -> Attach -> Paste from clipboard. But because its just a "comment" when I go to print it wont show up.
    I've been told to just add an image to the Header, yet I am unable to figure out how... Once I'm under this section it only allows for Text, not an image.
    I'm really pulling my hair out here over this... If anyone can please tell me how to add an image to a pdf (which is a fillable form) that when printed will actually show up as well PLEASE HELP.

    I just opened the watermark tool in AA8. I don't have AA6 handy. It has a scaling and location on the page after I select a graphic file to import. It also shows a sample page so I can see how it will display. I do not remember how watermarks worked on AA6. Will try in a bit.
    For AA6, it looks like you can only put in a PDF file. In that case, use a word processor to create the desired result you want for the background (the entire page, not just the logo. Then create a PDF to use for the watermark or background. Open the watermark/background tool and insert your new PDF (not sure if you should use background or watermark - might give both a try and see if that does the job. At least it appears to be what my system suggests. You need to be sure you use the same paper size since AA6 places the whole page you create. You might be able to use other sized, but then you have to deal with centering and such. Unless you have time to play a bit, I would create it the one the same size paper as I have suggested and then it is one less thing to have to work out.

  • Help: trying to add muic to eintire web seite

    Hi there i am in need of serious help. i want to add a music
    to my home page. the problem is i know how to add it to one site
    but i want the same same music playing the entire time, and it
    could be still be playing even when one is viewing other
    pafges.

    Link to your sound file through the properties Inspector,
    Then use the Behaviour which is in the right hand panel. If
    you can't see the 'Behaviour ' then go to Window - Behavior then
    you will see it in your panel. There are plenty of options to
    choose from. Something else you could do I guess is add a swf file
    in your banner.

  • Need HELP trying to add Express to existing network

    I get everything all setup and then the final step shows up when it asks you to put in password of existing network. I put the password in and it takes awhile the comes back with a message of An error occured while trying to connect to the network. Also when ever I do this my airport card in my computer becomes unresponsive and requires me to turn the airport on then off to get it to work again. Please help

    Sorry for the delay in response.
    I have been able to access and use Final Cut Server as part of our regular workflow from within our LAN.
    In terms of remote access to the network, I set up the Airport Extreme to forward all incoming requests to the computer running Final Cut Server. When I go to the IP address I am reported to be on (from whatismyip) from inside my network, everything works fine. I can access the apache server and Final Cut Server. When I utilize a computer not on the same network to access the IP address for the network my Final Cut Server is located on, the browser timeouts trying to connect. Eventually I receive a message saying the server is not responding.
    Any ideas why I cannot access my home network remotely?

  • I am trying to add a game to my sons I touch pad. It is a free game. It asks for verification of password and credit card info. Every time, it tells me that my time has expired. Help.

    I am trying to add a game to my sons I touch pad. It is a free game. It asks for verification of password and credit card info. Every time, it tells me that my time has expired. Help.

    It asked me that too.Don't worry and just put it in. Itunes doesn't charge unless your son buys something. The password happens to me all the time. Credit card was only once. Just make sure your son knows not to buy anything without permission so he doesn't accidently charge you something.

  • I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

  • How to extract the audio of a zip file? if it helps I'm trying to add this album zip to my library

    how to extract the audio of a zip file? if it helps I'm trying to add this album zip to my library

    Let's say you have a zipped audio collection (audio.zip) containing mp3 files. And you are at a Terminal prompt.
    List the files in the zip archive
    unzip -l audio.zip (that is ell)
    Extract all mp3 audio files into a new home directory folder called mymusic
    unzip -d ~/mymusic audio.zip \*.mp3
    Variations of the above will depend the zip contents, and internal structure. If the zipped audio collection was gzipped, or someone used rar on it, then the extraction process will be different.
