How to get a good wifi connection with Verizon FIOS?

Hello...
We switched to Verizon FIOS about a month ago, and since then I've had spotty connecting problems with wifi. My iMac needs to be re-connected a few times per day, as does my son's Macbook. Also, we have four iPhones and we all have to wait for our phones to switch to wifi from Edge when we turn them on. With our old NetGear router we had no problems. Our PC's are okay too. Just the Apple stuff. We've already called Verizon and they had us change our frequency, but that didn't help. Before calling them again I'm wondering if anyone has any advice? It's very frustrating. My husband thinks the Verizon modem/router is cheap compared to NetGear. But we're stuck with it. I'm still hoping to become a Verizon FIOS fan.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Deb

Joe -- we do have our cordless phone on a shelf next to the desk that the modem/router are on. But we also had it there when we had Time Warner and NetGear, with no problems. So I'm not sure that's it. Also since the location of the modem/router is the same as before, I don't know why the location would be a problem for the Macs now. My son had wifi problems with his PC before we switched, but now he's fine. I obviously have no idea about the neighbor's phones, nor could do anything about those if they were a problem.
We have noticed that our cordless phone has some problems that it didn't have before Verizon FIOS, but we haven't really dealt with that yet as our landline phone is really pretty pointless now that we all have iPhones.
I guess it's the channels that my husband is changing then, because he said there are channels 1-11, and we've used 1 and 11, and now he's trying 10. So far I'm not noticing much difference on my iMac. I still have to re-connect to the internet every time I wake my iMac from sleep, or turn it on in the morning. I never used to have to do that. Same with my younger son and his Macbook. Also our iPhones aren't connected immediately when we turn them on. They used to be.
The only thing I know about frequency is that our cordless phone is one or the other of the frequencies you mention, but I don't remember which one now.
I think we were given a user guide for the modem/router, and my husband has been reading through it, but not finding anything about turning off the wireless part of the router only. Thanks anyway though for the link. I'll check it out to see if it's something different.
Thanks, Deb

How to get Kensington K9294 to connect with original iPad. Bluetooth is on.

Sorry, but what is a Kensington K9294? I can find no mention of that product ID on the web, not even on Kensington's site. Do you mean the K39294, the KeyFolio keyboard/case?

How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

When i upgraded my IOS. I always find it hard to continue my search in internet. I need to turn off the wifi connection then on it after wards even though using the laptops and other mobile phone with wifi have a very good signal. Just like this message, i need to off it then turn it on again.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

How to get audio device information connected with MAC system?

I want to know the samplerate (the number of samples per second) supported by the device connected with the MAC system.
I am also pasting the code as below where I need that info.
// Using PCM 44.1 kHz, 16 bit signed,stereo.
          AudioFormat audioFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, //     the audio encoding technique
          44100.0F,// sampleRate           the number of samples per second
          16,      // sampleSizeInBits the number of bits in each sample
          2,       // channels           the number of channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo, and so on)
          4,       // frameSize           the number of bytes in each frame
          44100.0F,// frameRate          the number of frames per second
          false); // bigEndian          indicates whether the data for a single sample is stored in big-endian byte order (<code>false</code> means little-endian)

Can you sugget something in that area.That's not an issue that's specific to MAC, it'd be specific to any system with a limited number of supported capture formats.
I've handled this problem in the past by generating an array full of all of the AudioFormat objects I'd consider acceptable, and I just iterate through them until I can find a TargetDataline that supports it.
TargetDataLine tdl = null;
/* Write your own code to get an array of acceptable formats here */
AudioFormat formats[] = JavaSoundFormats.getFormatList();
for (AudioFormat format : formats) {
    DataLine.Info dlinfo = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                                             format);
        if (AudioSystem.isLineSupported(dlinfo)) {
            try {
                audio_in_format = format;
                tdl = (TargetDataLine)AudioSystem.getLine(dlinfo);
                break;
            catch(LineUnavailableException e) {
                // No need to do anything
/* If we don't have a targetdataoutput object, give up */
if (tdl == null) {
    System.err.println("No TargetDataLines found!");
    System.exit(1);

Yoga 13 - Wifi Issue with Verizon FIOS Advanced Router

In an effort to boost the Internet Speed for my wireless devices in my house I upgraded my Verizon FIOS router to their Advanced Router. I had noticed that all of my Wireless Devices were unable to get any more speed than 25/25, when I get 75/35 to my home. I discovered that my router was the issue. So I upgraded and was instantly able to reconnect all of my wireless devices and laptops without any issue, except my Lenovo Yoga 13. It kept getting an error that it could not login to the SSID I would give it. It would see it, but when I put in the password it would fail to connect andd give me a message indicating the same. So I thought I may need to download a newer driver. The Yoga would still attach to my hotspot, so I downloaded the latest WLAN driver. It still would not work, but I notced that it did not dump the old driver, so I deleted it and then I could not attach at all to anything. So I used another unit downloaded all off the WIreless and Bluetooth drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for Windows 8.1 and loaded them back up. I am now able to login to my new router but I get worse speeds than I did before. Now I get 10/20. But I also saw that there are now a bunch of bluetooth and wireless drivers in loaded in control panel, so before I delete any, do I need them all? Are they stepping on each other? What ones are definitely needed? Has anyone gotten anymore than 25/25 out of the Lenovo drivers? And did they ever succeed in hooking it up to a Verizon FIOS Advanced Router?
Let me know!
Thanks!

I went into the router and set a static IP address for the ipad (in the low 200's dont use the 100's its for your fios cable dvr's). You will first have to shutdown the ipad (not just sleep). Then delete the ipad from the connection list in the fios router. The instructions from the fios router pdf are below. I am on 24 hrs and even with wep and no fixed channel I have had no problems.
To define a new connection with a fixed IP address:
1. Click New Static Connection in the DHCP Connections screen. The “DHCP Connection Settings” screen appears.
2. Enter a host name for this connection.
3. Enter the fixed IP address to assign to the computer.
4. Enter the MAC address of the computer’s network card.
5. Click the OK to save changes.
☞ Note: A device’s fixed IP address is actually assigned to the specific
network card’s MAC address installed on the network computer.
If this network card is replaced, the device’s entry in the DHCP Connections list must be updated with the new network card’s MAC address.
To remove a host from the table, click the appropriate “Delete” icon in the Action column.

Fixed wifi problems with Verizon FIOS' Actiontec MI424WR router

My FIOS router was setup for 64bit WEP with support for b and g. It had worked great for years with my iPhone, iPod touch, and other computers in my home. Then came the iPad. The iPad would lose the connection, prompt me for the password, etc. several times per day. I first tried changing to g only support. It didn't help. Then I changed to WEP 128 and all of the frustrating problems appear to have gone away.
Hope this helps some of you love your iPad more because I was really starting to hate mine...

Can any one help with advice on how to re-establish a wifi connection with my 3gs?

Up until yesterday I never had any problems at all. I have followed various suggestions from apple forums and teh closest I can get is that it is trying to connect but it never does and teh blue tick never appears. I can join other networkd but not the wifi one I want to.

No, its like a chocolate teapot - nice sounding idea but of no use to 99.9% of the user base IMO. Having a touch screen and auto-answer is a route to major annoyance to most people.
I vote for not providing it - ever

Need help getting LG TV wifi connection with Airport Express?

I can successfully hook the tv up to the network using the dongle PIN method on the Airport Express. It works fine until I turn the tv off. Then I have to go through the whole setup procedure again. Very frustrating. How can I get the Airport to allow the tv access when I turn the tv back on without having to do the setup again? I did not limit access to 24 hours. Not sure what I am missing. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

The dongle is the little usb device that makes the tv wifi capable, it is assigned a unique PIN that I input into the airport express utility so my wireless network will allow it access. All that works fine, but I have to redo the whole setup everytime I turn the tv off. Have you any experience with this and can offer a hint on how to allow the tv access each time I turn it on?

How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal. It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it. When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals. Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this?
I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ. Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. Thanks so much.

Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
So what is your source for your vocals?
After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

Can't get onto my Wifi connection with my Ipod Touch.

I just had to have my IPOD touch restored.Right after I did that, I was not able to log-on to my Wifi network (it always logged on automatically before). The Ipod sees the network but will not let me log-on, even when I put in the passcode. For some reason, there is a lock icon next to my network on the WiFi Neworks screen.I used the troubleshooting guide and even reset the network settings but that did not do it.Any suggestions? Help!!!
NOTE: just before I had the IPOD restored I was downloading a song onto it and suddenly los all the music in my IPOD and then the ITUNES software would not detect my IPOD. It sees it now but I can't access my WiFi network.

What ahhpens when you try?
Do you mean sync to the iPod?

You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi

How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi?

I Believe you are trying to use personal hotspot so you can use your 3G/LTE on your pc.
If that's the question, you'll need to turn on "Personal Hotspot" in settings (it's right below bluetooth), then go to your Mac/PC and connect to your iphone as you would with a normal wi-fi connection. You can change the random default password in the same menu where you have turned on "Personal Hotspot"
