How do I extend a wireless conection? for apple

How do I extend a wireless conection? In Apple.

Depends on what brand of router you have. If you have an Airport Extreme Base Station or Time Capsule, then you can use an Airport Express to extend the network wirelessly for use by a device using Ethernet, e.g., a computer or network printer. The latest Airport Express has two Ethernet ports available.
Alternatively, you can run an Ethernet line from the router to the Airport Express and create a new network that is distant from the router. This would work on an AEBS, Time Capsule, or a non-Apple router.

How can I create a wireless conection?

My Sattellite pro A10 is supposed to come wireless enabled.
Up till now I haven't used it, but am trying to connect to wireless internet.
Windows help and user manuals point me to network conections and to click on wireless connections and search for available connections, but there is and has never been a wireless connection icon in my network connections (running windows XP service pack 2 btw)
Can anyone suggest why and how I can create a wireless conection. The enabling switch on the front is on.

Hello
This unit is not known to me but I have found information that WLAN is optional. Please check if there is WLAN card. You can check it in device manager under Network adapters.
If there is no WLAN card you must buy one.

,How can i extend my wireless connection

I can make it work with two separate ssid's and networks but when I try to set it up "correctly", the airport utility can't find the linksys network.
Set up the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name (just type in the name using AirPort Utiliyt), same wireless security setting and same wireless network password as the Linksys network and make sure that the AirPort is in Bridge Mode.
Then you will have a "roaming" network. Your computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal as it moves around the house.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Netflix recommend a minimum connection speed of 0.5 Mbps, however at that speed many of the other features of the Apple TV will be painfully slow.

I had this problem as well for a while. Click on the Finder icon and go to documents, then drag whatever file you would like to delete to the trash icon. Then you can empty trash if you want to get rid of it forever.

How can I extend the wireless range on my BT Hub 3

I currently have the BT hub 3 and find that as I have quite a rambling house and the broadband is located at one side rather than in the middle of the house I cannot get a signal in all areas. This is massively frustration for the children when they wish to do their homework in the peace of their own rooms - how can I extend the range, without having to pay through the nose, but easy enough for someone who is not massively technical? - Thanks in advance

How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater".

How can I extend my wireless network using Airport Express and an Airport Extreme on BT Infinity?

I have BT Infinity and I am using the Time Capsule with Airport Extreme as my router. Working well (even on wireless). I want to extend the wireless network with an Airport Express, but I cannot work out the settings necessary in Airport Utility. I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. Please help!

BT,
I've read several of your posts, thanks for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
I'm in a situation similar to the one described by 'scoutusmaximus'. Seeking the flexibility of a standalone router, I finally upgraded my 4-yr old ATT DSL gateway (modem+router) to a Comcast standalone modem + the ASUS RT-AC66U: http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTAC66U/
Typically, I stick with all things Apple but the ASUS router seemed fairly superior to the current-gen base station (on paper, anyway; time will tell when it comes to performance) so, for once, I jumped ship. My plan was to extend the ASUS wired/wireless network using my TimeCapsule and 2 Airport Expresses in bridge mode, however, a google search turned up several unhappy customers that claim those devices don't play well with non-Apple routers, especially when it comes to 'extending' a network.
Questions:
1. Can I successfully extend the wired/wireless network created by the ASUS router using the 3 airport devices listed above w/out negatively impacting performance? I'd rather have 1 wireless network as opposed to creating a new wireless network with the TC and then extending it with the AP Expresses... though I'd consider that option down the line if it came to that.
2. Will the LAN ports on the TimeCapsule remain functional?
Btw, my house is wired so, I can reach all 3 devices via ethernet cable coming off of a central, managed switch. Supposedly, you only lose the LAN ports on the TC if you extend wirelessly.
Any advice would be appreciated.

HT4259 How can I extend a wireless network from a 2Wire modem by usingan Airport Express? Years ago I could do this just by plugging in the (old) Airport Express. TIA Travelmonger

How can I extend a wirelss network from a 2Wire modem using an Airport Express? Some years ago using the old Express I was able to do so simply by plugging on the Express witha minimum of tweaking. Still the same?
TIA
Travelmonger

Still the same?
Unfortunately, no.
Apple's newer "Extend a wireless network" feature was designed to only work with other Apple products, so it would be extremely unlikely that it would work with a 2-Wire device if you plan to extend using wireless only.
If you plan to connect the AirPort Express to the 2-Wire device using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can be configured to provide more wireless coverage that way.

Wireless setting for Apple devices

Hi All,
I would like to share your experiences on how to optimize your network for Apple devices. The use of Apple devices are far more common in the U.S. than it is in Denmark (Europe) where I am. We are getting there, but certainly still "lags" a little I think.
What is your experience with:
802.11k config wlan assisted-roaming. What is your experience is that good or bad?
- config wlan assisted-roaming neighbor-list enable [wlan-id]
- config assisted-roaming floor-bias [dBm] Ho wmany dBm?
- config wlan assisted-roaming dual-list enable [wlan-id]
802.11r (Fast roaming) have any done some teting here?
config wlan security ft enable [wlan-id]
config wlan security ft over-the-ds enable [wlan-id]
config wlan security wpa akm ft-psk enable [wlan-id]
config wlan security wpa akm ft-802.1X enable [wlan-id]
config wlan security ft [reassociation-timeouttimeout-in-seconds] [wlan-id]
config wlan security wpa akm ft over-the-ds enable [wlan-id]
Cisco recomend to use a WLAN for 802.11r clients and other WLAN for non 802.11r clients.
Propperly because a non 802.11r client will not be able to understand the respond from the AP. Right?
- Apple iOS earlier than 6.0 do not support FT.
- iPhone4s with iOS6 code and iPhone5 user 802.11k. What abouth the IPAD?
Another thing. What abouth WPAII+WPA on the same SSID (Tkip/AES) are Apple devices sensitive to this combination? I know some PC are.
I normally disable the lower data rate 1, 2, 5,5, 11 6, 9 Mbps and make 12 mandatory. Is this also the way to go with Apple?
Keep the mind open.
regards. F

Hi Scott,
Thanks. Useful information...
Do you also make a separate WLAN with FT enabled (for MAC´s) and a simular WLAN without FT (for PC)
Or do you use the same WLAN for MAC´s and PC? and how does a WLAN enabled with FT, handle a PC?
Frome the Cisco RocomenteEnterprise Best Practices for Apple Mobile Devices on Cisco Wireless LANs documentation i found:
"The following are the WLAN configuration recommendations for adding 802.11r FT clients to the
WLAN network"
The best practices recommendation listed below is the result of cooperative work between Apple and Cisco.
• Configure an additional WLAN for fast transition 802.1x clients.
• Configure an additional WLAN for fast transition PSK clients.
The reason for this recommendation is legacy radio drivers will not understand the added information in the association response packets of a WLAN with fast transition configurations.
- Fair enough..But we then will have extra WLAN in the air.. Not great! Guess you cant winn all the time
he following are the WLAN aaaaaaaaaaaaconfiguration recommendations for adding 802.11r FT clients to the
WLAN network.
Figure 2
provides an example of these c
onfigurations. The best practices
recommendation listed below is the result of cooperative work between Apple and Cisco.
Configure an additional WLAN for fast transition 802.1x clients.
Configure an additional WLAN for fast transition PSK clients.
The reason for this recommendation is legacy radio drivers will not understand the added
information in the association response packets of
a WLAN with fast transition configurations.
Although the 802.11r specification was ratified in 2008, not all client radio drivers have been
updated to handle the changes in management packets with respect to 802.11r. This includes
several Apple products.
Apple recommends using separate WL
AN and SSIDs for legacy clients
