How good is infinity wirelessly?

I get 2 bars of signal in my room, I have a g router with an n adapter, infinity uses n router's, would the signal increase at all?

Not really, "n" routers do not increase the range, only give a faster connection when the signal is good.

How good is wireless networking under Win XP & BootCamp?

Hello,
I'm heading off to business school in the fall and I need to run Windows XP (some of the Excel plugins for intro finance classes wont work in Mac Excel and there are some Windows specific programs we will be using). I just bought a Dell Laptop and am going to return it, as it came with a defective hardware driver - I believe its for the bluetooth, but the moronic tech support based in India can't solve the problem. I'm tired of all the blue screen crashes!
I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Pro and running XP under BootCamp. That way I'll get to use OS X and iLife also. How well does wireless networking work in XP? Any known coonectivity issues/problems? This is very important for me; my school's entire building has a 802.11b wireless setup and I have to be able to connect under Win XP.
On a more general note, reading these forums there seems to be a lot of problems with the MacBook Pro, i.e., heating issues being the most major. I don't know how serious these issues are. Should I go ahead and buy now or hold off on my purchase for a couple months and wait for these issues to be resolved?
Any relevant advice would be appreciated. thanks.

It's a good computer. Wireless works like a charm both in XP and OSX. There doesn't seem to be a WEP key index setting in OSX though.
There are obviously a lot of unacceptable quality flaws with the current MBPs. The only problems I've had are the notorious hi-frequency whine and a keyboard with tipping keys which is going in for repair.
If you get one without any flaws, in my opinion, the only question mark in deciding to get one or not is if you can live with starting up and closing photobooth on every OSX-boot to get rid of the whine as it doesn't seem to be fixed in the near future. If you can - get one.
Good luck.

How can i improve wireless speed?

Hey i recently put up a thread to my mistake i thought i was getting a **bleep** service but buoy was i wrong. Im getting a superb service from bt infinity 2. But heres my problem i get this through a wired connection:
and i get this through wireless:
heres my theroy how can i maximise wireless speed similar to the speeds of a wired connection. just to add i have refreshed my smart wireless thing lol at hub settings webpage. also it is my first day with bt its just been instaled now for about 11 hours now, and will it get faster but i am doubting that cause of the results above on the wired so it must be down to my wireless card or config of the home hub 4.

Now you are asking how long a piece of string is.
There are so many variables that can disrupt a wireless connection it is no wonder ISP's will not ( and cannot) support it.
Wired is always the best option but it's understandable that it may not be convenient for some devices (the manufacturers of which promise so much in terms of wireless connection).
First make sure your wireless card drivers are up to date, don't trust Windows update to have the latest ones, go to the card makers website for the latest.
If a Windows system download and run InSSider to find the best channel for your area.
After that there HERE is a link for the best advice out there. It is an invaluable source of tips, tricks etc and would recommend it to anyone not used to the vagaries of wireless networking or connections. Best of all it won't cost you a penny or endless hours on hold to support who at the end cannot help you.

How to clear cookies, wireless internet connection very slow

My ethernet speed is very good, but my wireless speed is getting very slow. I wanted to clear my cookies, not sure how to do that and would that help?

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
          PHY Mode
          Channel
          Security
          Signal/Noise or RSSI
          Transmit (or Tx) Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select
           ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
I have just purchased a 2012 dual band Airport Express which has the combined optical/3.5mm analogue jack audio output.
This is to connect to my hifi seperate amplifier, which does not have an optical input.
This gives me a couple of options
a) just use a standard 3.5mm jack to phono cable (and use the built in DAC in the airpor express)
or
b) purchase a seperate DAC to convert the optical from the Express into phono and connect that to the amplifier
I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
Will I see much/any benefit in sound quality with option B vs option A?
I ask because option A is free (I already have the cable) and option B will be around £20-£30 depending on which DAC I were to buy (I would also need a new TOSlink optical cable).
These are the sort of DACs I was looking at.
Thanks, Chipstix

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
Please check out this stereophile article on the earlier AirPort Express. I understand that the newest version may use basically similar audio hardware.
I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. As you already know for analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Using an external DAC, which may offer better audio performance, may have issues with this glitch. Some DACs are more sensitive than others.

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

I have a macbook pro and aphotosmartD110 wireless printer. I was told that if I install the printer software on my computer, it will no longer print wirelessly. Is that true and how do I scan wirelessly without loading in the software?

I have a macbook pro and a photosmart D110 printer. I was told that if I load the software for the printer onto my mac that it will no longer print wierlessly. Is that true and how can I scan wirelessly without loading the software? Also, can I just connect my mac to the printer with a cable and scan or do I need that software loaded onto the mac? Thanks for all help!

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

How to setup a wireless printer

I was wandering if anyone out there knows how to setup a wireless printer without spending a lot of money. I have a dell photo 962 printer and a wrt54g router. I have tried to setup the printer on my laptop but it will not let me do so unless I connect it directly to the printer. My computers are running windows xp. Thanks for your help.

well for that you need to setup a printer as network printer, if your printer have networking capabilities...if not then you need to buy print server...

How do you connect wirelessly to a Samsung smart tv?

how do you connect wirelessly to a Samsung smart tv?

If your're running 10.5.8 your MacBook is likely earlier than a 2009 model so you'd need a Mini-DVI adapter unless it's a model 5,1. We need to know which model you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI.
You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
You'll also need audio cables to the TV for VGA, DVI or Composite. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
If you connect the MacBook using a MiniDVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a stereo system for audio. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
P.S. Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.

Does anyone know how to remove multiple wireless profiles?

Interestingly enough, I recently setup a new computer with the same itunes library as my old computer which I moved to another part of the house. I renamed BOTH libraries from their previous names. These are both iMacs. Now, all my iOS devices (iphones/ipads/etc.) show up on BOTH and wirelessly sync to BOTH! So, I turned off wireless sync on one of the machines but the devices still show up in the menu. Also, on the devices themselves both libraries show up as available to sync. Does anyone know how to remove the wireless capabilities from one computer or device so the devices just sync with a single library?

The instructions that are on reedcorner are great, however if you wish to do things in a simpler way; I have created an Automator workflow that can take you through the process. You can download it here: https://public.me.com/edson.ajj

How To use a wireless in Satellite L305-S5968

I just recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5968 and I've never used or been able to set up a wireless PC.
How exactly can I use this PC to be wireless so I can login for free at the local library.
My wireless network card is this one: Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter.
I have the LAN working just fine but I'm afraid that the library does not have LAN plugins there.
What all do I need and what do I need to do to make this work.
I need step by step instructions on this please do not post vague answers.
I'm not a PC idiot, but I have never set this up before so this is new for me.
EDIT: Sorry I realize this may help...
I'm running Windows XP SP2 on here I believe.
I have my own disk i installed it with. I'll also be installing the wireless driver becasue apparently its missing as well.
Thanks

Hi,
Im a little bit confused about your posting. What you want to know exactly?
I mean you can WLAN instead of LAN without problems. Its the same just without cable. You have only to check the TCP/IP settings on your computer that is also depending on the router and type in the right password from the router Thats all!
Furthermore I have founded an interesting document:

How to connect printer wireless i dont have wirelee router? my printer is deskjet 4625

i m unable to connect my printer wireless and generate code for registering at eprint.how to connect printer wireless i dont have wirelee router? my printer is deskjet 4625. please suggest ? i have installed printer on my computer and laptop. computer is having w-7 os and laptop is having w-vista.
thanks

That is not correct sabretooth04,
The Deskjet Ink Advantage 4625 only support USB or Wi-Fi, it does not provide any Ethernet connectivity and therefore a Wireless router is essential for the web services to work.
The specifications can be found in here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03149922&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
ichleiben57 - As your printer only support wireless connection you will either need a wireless router, bridging your wired ADSL router with a wireless access point or replacing the printer to a different model which support wired ethernet connection.

How good is password protection in Preview App

I want to open some PDF's in Preview, do a Print command, then when that opens select PDF and then Save as PDF. When that window opens, I will then click on Security Options and enter a password that will be required to open the doc. I need to then email these docs to a person on a PC. They have Adobe Acrobat. I've dropped one of these docs on my Windows 7 Virtual Machine. When it opens using Adobe Acrobat it asks for the password and when entered correctly, the doc opens.
So far so good. But how good is the password protection??? I've been told that Office has had good encryption (128 bit AES) since Office 2007. But what about Preview on the Mac being opened by Acrobat on a PC??? Bad?? Good??
There are reasons why it is not reasonable to try to drop a large number of pdfs into Microsoft Word so I'm leaning instead toward just protecting the Preview PDF versions.
Thoughts???
thanks... bob..

As I tell people in the Reader and Acrobat forums, if someone wants to "crack" a PDF badly enough, nothing (including DRM) will prevent them.
AFAIK, Preview's encrytpion is as good as Acrobat's.
The password rules are the same. Longer and more cryptic = better protection. 12 characters is better than 8... 16 is better than 12... Upper & lower case, numerals and special characters.

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's?

How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's for Asset Tagging.
It seems Smartcard used for ID cards have a small RF ID, can I use this for Asset Tagging?
Thanks in Advance

There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.
