Hi
Can anyone answer this question:
How how far is too far away from a cabinet to get Infinity ?
Thanks
Ollie

Hi again ollie44,
BT Retail who offers FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) BT Infinity which is their brandname for fibre broadband, to customers who are estimated 15mbps or above for FTTC.
You can still get FTTC fibre broadband from BT Retail if you are estimated under 15mbps for FTTC though the product is called Faster Unlimited broadband.
FTTC fibre broadband currently enables a upto 80mbps broadband service, though this will depend on how far away you are from the FTTC cabinet and the quality of your landline.
FTTC fibre broadband uses VDSL or VDSL2 signals that travel from the FTTC cabinet to your property via the existing copper (sometimes aluminium) line. The further away you are from your FTTC cabinet the slower the fibre FTTC broadband will be.
However VDSL/2 signals used for FTTC broadband connection degrade far quicker in terms of distance than conventional ADSL broadband signal do.
Generally speaking if your landline is over 1500 meters in length from the FTTC cabinet to your property then you may not be able to get BT Infinity as you may not be able to achieve over 15mbps from an FTTC service.
Here is a graph that shows the ADSL(G.DMT,ADSL2 and ADSL2+) and VDSL/2 (FTTC) signal with distance. Please be aware that all ADSL connections are depend on distance from local exchange, where as FTTC (VDSL/2) connections are depend on distance from your FTTC (DSLAM) cabinet. Though all connection types are also depend on line quality.

Want Time Capsule far away from my modem. How to add to existing Airport?

Hi,
I have a dome-shaped Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) connected to a Comcast modem. I want to leave it as it is, but I would like my Time Capsule (TC), to be located far away from the modem, to "join" or "extend" that AEBS network.
I had it set up that way at one point, but then switched out the TC drive to a new 2 TB and then connected it directly through Ethernet to my two MacBooks to back them up more quickly. (FYI, I upgrade MB drives a lot and they aren't always recognized immediately by the TC, sometimes have to delete a sparsebundle and start a new backup--why I have to do that for it to work sometimes, no idea). But after backing up my new MB drives over Ethernet, I can't now for the life of me seem to get both the AEBS and TC onto one AEBS network. My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
I know how to use my Mac pretty well, but I only mess with setting up Airports or TCs once a year at the most. I don't know how all of the moving parts work or work together. Various dialogue boxes will confuse the ** out of me. YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability. Only since replacing the drive and turning off the TCs wireless settings to make it work over Ethernet, has the TC no longer been willing to join the AEBS.
I don't want to be a networking master, I just want to be able to configure my network quickly and easily so my less valuable (to me) AEBS will be in my living room with my modem while my entire electronic life is backed up safely in the attic to my TC that stay out of sight from thieves, etc. You'd think Apple would have built-in this ability MUCH more easily than they have! What's the point of having your only backup sitting right in the living room in the middle of all products you're backing up? If your laptops are valuable enough to steal, so is the shiny white Apple box underneath your TV. And then you have no data, no photos, no memories.
OK, done editorializing. Anyone know how to walk me through getting this BACKWARDS TC/Airport setup running? And anyone know how I could then revert to Ethernet if I want a faster connected backup sometime and then jump right back to my BACKWARDS wireless setup? Tremendously grateful for any help!

My Airport Express joins the AEBS just fine to play music, but not the TC anymore. It only gives me the "extend" option and then tells me that my AEBS "cannot be extended."
When configuring the TC with the AirPort Utility, you just need to hold down the Option key before making the selection in order to get access to the "Join a wireless network" choice.
My dome-shaped AEBS lists version 5.7 and was WEP 128 secured, but I tried WPA2 Personal most recently as the TC didn't list a WEP 128 option in Airport Utility. The TC lists version 7.4.2. I have the AEBS set to b/g and the TC to its full range.
First off, WEP is no longer considered secure, so it is highly recommended that you use either WPA or WPA2 for security. However, if you must use WEP, you would have to change the Radio Mode on the TC to one of the non-"n" choices in order to configure it for WEP 64- or 128-bit.
YET when setting up the TC originally somehow there was an option to have the TC "join" the AEBS network, not sure if since updates have removed that ability.
Again, holding down the Option key will provide this option. It was not removed with any of the firmware updates.

Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad. I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great. Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for.
So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
What is Step 2? I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
Thanks again for the help!!!

How far away from base station can I get with Wi-Fi?

I want to know how far away from my base station I can get with my iPod touch's Wi-Fi. I can't test it out since it is still shipping, but I would like to know, since I will be travelling a lot with it. I know you can connect it to hotels, restaurants, etc. that have Wi-Fi, but say there's none of them around (since I live in central Nebraska). How far do you really think I can go?

I hope you only 'travel' around your house. That's about as far as you can go before losing your wifi connection. Alright, might work in the backyard. Seriously, check the range of your router. Mine covers 200 feet, more than enough for my apartment. Certainly not enough to travel and remain connected.

How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

According to:
http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
"Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

Jhey, I'm very interested in knowing where you can get this distance from SamKnows becuase as far as I am aware this information is not held with the OpenReach databases and the only way you can find out exactly is to have an OpenReach engineer come to you home and measure it with the test euipment they normally carry. It's also not on the standrad screen they use for installation or testing either.

How far away form...

How far away from a metal object (radiator) does the AE have to be to stop interference.

It is a line-of-sight issue (no interfering object on a line between the two), not a proximity issue. Raise the AE up above the radiator and the interference should disappear. As soon as I moved it to a receptacle that wasn't directly behind a cast tub, voila!

How to set up sync on new laptop away from desktop with only iphone/home access

I am away from my regular desktop and have a laptop I would like to set up with sync and only have me synced iphone with me and no access to sync key on main computer
Iphone is logged in and I do not want to erase data stored on sync server by creating new key
Any help appreciated

Hi rogues!
It something that can be done but the iPhone is not going to help you. Firefox Home is a little bit different and it doesn't have that functionality built in.
You need the Recovery Key (sometimes known as Sync Key) and to follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
Unfortunately, if you are far away from your computer you will not be able to get the Recovery Key if you don't already have it:

How can i access my PowerMac when i am away from home?

Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc and i have a lot of extra drives attached to the powermac at home.
Any chance the answers could be simple!!! I'm relatively new to macs and know almost nothing about accessing computes over the internet.
thanks for your help.

Hi Martin,
I am just implementing something which may be of interest to you.
I have a home network of a G5 Quad and several PCs which I wanted to be able to access, securely while I was away from home. (Using a XP laptop).
I have just purchased a LinkSys RVL200 VPN router and ASDL modem and after a fair amount of trial and error managed to get it working to my ISP, British Telecom.
Effectively I can now connect my laptop from anywhere on the internet and it is as if I am sat on home with it connected to my local network. Most importantly it runs via an https: tunnel (may not be the correct phrase) so it is secure.
To connect all I have to do is go to my IP address via the browser using https://, logon on and it creates a connection through which I can access my Mac and PCs. Once the connection is in place then I can run any application on my laptop and it connects fine. (Last night I tested it running ftp to my G5 which is hidden behind the firewall.)
The only thing I am not sure about is how it would connect using a Mac rather than an XP machine (the secure connect icon appears in the tray) but if it fits what you are looking for I'm sure LinkSys could advise on whether it would work.

How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
What are my options?

I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook? I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device. IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
Many thanks!

How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
home?
Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?
Chris

As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it?

See the answer on the same question you asked a few minutes ago.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it, but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.
