How can I boost my wireless broadband,

Since moving to BT, i have had issues with interupted broadband and range of wifi is hopeless. how can this be improved?? I have had little success on the phone to india, one suggestion was a very long ethernet cable!!!

you can try downloading inssider2 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

How can I boost ipad3's antenna signal reception?

My Wifi router name don't appear in wifi networks list when I'm in the bedroom, where as all other devises like laptop, Blackberry can see the wifi router signal very well. If I keep my ipad3 very near to the wifi router it works well.
The distance between wifi router and bedroom is not even 10 meters
How can I boost ipad's antenna signal reception to see my wifi router?
I already reset network settings and toggles airplane mode. Upgraded ios to the lastest version.

There's no hardware solution.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Ai

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Air.
I had set up a WEP Network but I need to set up a WPA (personal) network now and i cant seem to change the WEP network to a WPA2 network.
Thank you for any help you can provide me.
LShaps

The MacBook Air will autodetect WEP and WPA security changes and should allow you to reconnect again. If the password stored in the Mac is wrong, it will ask you to enter it again.
With that said, to forget a network do the following:
- Go to the Apple Menu and select System Preferences
- Click on the Network icon
- Highlight the Airport / WiFi entry (sepending on 10.6 vs 10.7)
- Click the Advanced button at the bottom
- Make sue the Airport / WiFi tab is selected
- Click on the network name you want to forget
- Press the minus button at the bottom of the list.
You may also want to consider restarting if you are having this issue.

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible

How can i add a wireless printer HP officejet 6310 all in one? is it possible..?

Hi @millep
To answer your question, no the Officejet 2620 is not a wireless printer;
- Source: Printer specifications
As for the USB cable, personally, I believe the intention is to bring down the cost of the printer by selling the USB cable separately. Many people already have printer USB cables kicking around the house, so instead of paying more for the printer and having an extra cable I believe the theory is reduce the cost and sell the USB separately for those who need to purchase one.
I hope this answers your inquiry.

how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

How can i buy Apple Wireless arabic Keyboard in Malaysia

i want to buy Mac 5K but i need arabic keyboard which is not available in Malaysia apple store and it is available in USA apple store ... how can i buy Apple Wireless arabic Keyboard in Malaysia ? or shipping to Malaysia ?

Apple stores do not ship outside their own country, so you cannot get it from Apple. Nobody in these forums represents any store, so you have to contact computer dealers in Malaysia or elsewhere directly yourself and see if they can make a special order for you.
There is no need to use an Apple wireless keyboard, any other one will also work.

If the iPad isn't seeing the network, try rebooting the router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application). Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad. Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ... Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

How can I get my wireless keyboard battery access to open. It's like the bloody thing has seized up and won't open? Tried the coin...nope. Tried a screw driver...nope! Even tried WD-40 - nope! Or does this mean it's now in the boat anchor pile!

They are designed for coins... is this your first time changing the battery? Make sure you are twisting in the right direction and make sure you are pushing down on it and applying pressure at the same time you turn.

How can i boost my graphics for gaming?

The 13" is not a gaming computer, despite Apple packaging the 13" along with the other MacBook Pro's.
You'll have to check the specs of the games at the developers sites, however the minmal requirement is 99% of the time unsatisfactory as updates etc come out.
Apple used to have that 13" type of machine as a MacBook, then introduced the iPad and moved the MacBook onto the MacBook Pro's as a 13" model, then removed the 17" MacBook Pro.
So you see the shuffling around going on there as consumers in general are opting for the iPad instead than laptops.
Forget about 3D gaming on Mac's, it's future is very bleak indeed as more people are opting for the 3D less iPads with their "fake 3D" which is 2D images made to look like it's 3D.
3D GPU's generate a lot of heat, thus are unsuitable for iPads, and with the rise of dedicated consoles, makes them a better choice for 3 D gaming for most.
The hardcore 3D PC gamers are on Windows machines for it's longevity between OS cycles, hardware customizing and software tweaking ability.

How can I not allow wireless access when extending a network?

I have two Airport Extremes, one extends the network of the other. How can I not allow wireless access on the remote Extreme when extending a network? I could do it with Airport Utility 5.6, but not with version 6 on Mavericks.

Correct. Use another Mac or even a PC running Airport Utility 5.x. Once you have the extending Extreme configured the way you want, Mavericks will not change the setting on the extending Extreme.
