How to prioritize one Wi-Fi network name as preferred over another?

In OS X, you can set a Wi-Fi network name as preferred over another for Airport. Is there a feature like this on the iPhone OS? For example, if it sees two networks, it connects to network name B, when really I want it to connect to network name A.

Unfortunately, you have done all that you can do since the Mac can only support one active connection at a time, regardless of the connection order of services.

  • How to block one of wireless network

    Hi there,
    I have Airport Extreme with 2 wireless networks, one for my iMac and my wife’s iPad another one is for kids PCs. All of us are connected only wireless.
    Question, how shall I block the kids network my configuration, now when I block the Airport (Turn Off Airport) actually it’s only me who cannot use wireless network, all others still can do it. Purpose is to block the kids using the wireless network during the night. Now my solution is to pull out lan cable between Airport and ADSL modem.
    I believe there must be smarter way to do it, I just don’t know how. Could you please help,
    thanks

    Hello!
    Your Extreme can set time restrictions on when specific computers can access the network. You can configure them using AirPort Utility:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your Extreme in the sidebar, and press "Manual Setup." If you're asked for a password, enter it. Go to the "Access Control" tab and set "MAC Address Access Control" to "Timed Access."
    Now you can set up the time restrictions.
    To add a computer to the list, press the "+" button. You'll be presented with a dialog that will let you configure the time restrictions. You'll need to enter the device's MAC address. You'll also want to enter a description so that you'll know what device the restriction applies to.
    You can double-click the "(default)" entry to set restrictions on computers not on your list. When you're finished, press "Update" and allow your Extreme to restart.

  • How does one set the Network Name of the Printer

    Hi,
    I have two 7525's on my home network.  How do I change their names from the default serial number based name to something meaningful so IOS/Android users can easily tell which printer is which?

    Hi,
      Greetings of the day!
    There are many ways of achieving the above and the easiest way is mentioned on the link attached below :-
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/rename-printer#1TC=windows-7
    The above applies to other windows OS as well as win7.
    And to make it meaning ful, you would need to get creative  
    If you have any queries related to the same OR any other do reply.

  • Arris CM820 - Change Wireless Network Name for Arris CM820

    Hi-How do I change the wireless network name for Arris CM820? The support page lists many other kinds of modems but not this one. Thanks. Hardware: Mac OSX 10.9.95

    The AirPort Express is exactly what you need, but when you attach it to a cable modem, you need to power cycle the modem to pickup the MAC address of the new device.
    I suggest you do a full reset of the AirPort by pressing the reset button on it for over 30 seconds, power down the modem, connect the modem to the AirPort, then power up everything, then use the AirPort utility to configure the AirPort and your wi-fi settings from scratch.  If everything's good, then the LED on the AirPort will be green and you will have connectivity.
    One warning, if you have 105 service from Comcast, the Express will limit your speeds to 90 or so as it has a 10/100 WAN / LAN ports.  For 105 speeds and higher you would need a AirPort Extreme.

  • Delete Old Network Name

    I bought a new Airport Extreme and set it up with a new network name.  My airport express extenders wont join as they look for the old network name.  How do i delete the old network name?

    You need to hold in the reset button on the AirPort for 10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart.
    At that point, the device is back to to factory settings, just like it was when you first took it out of the box.
    Now, it is time to set up the AirPort Express again......like you did the first time.

  • How to remove an old, unwanted network from Airport Extreme?

    1. How can I remove old, unwanted, network names and info from my Airport Extreme? 
    2. Could the presence of the old network be interfering with connection to new Hughes Gen4 satellite network?

    2. Could the presence of the old network be interfering with connection to new Hughes Gen4 satellite network?
    It's possible. But, interfererence can also come from cordless phones, other wireless networks in your neighborhood, and any number of other sources.
    1. How can I remove old, unwanted, network names and info from my Airport Extreme?
    Are you asking how to turn off the wireless function of the AirPort Extreme because it is no longer needed?

  • How do i find the wifi network and password for iphone 4s

    how do i find the wifi network name and passwordfor iphone 4s?

    Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password.  Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear.  Try the factory defaults.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • Node showing up with a weird network name, not sure how to fix

    Just discovered this while working with a friend on figuring out how to use Qmaster and create a cluster of nodes across our network. We are running the Controller from a G5 and have two other service nodes set up. One is a MacBook Pro and another is a G4, which is the machine in question. While submitting a batch and viewing in Batch Monitor, the G4 would show up as "daves-ipod". We could not figure out why it wasn't showing up as its network shared name which is "PowerMacG4". After searching around the G4, I discovered via Finder that this "daves-ipod" business was coming from the Network/Servers/daves-ipod area in the Finder (see the photo below) I cannot figure out how or where to change this name, or even where it came from, since neither of our names are Dave. I'm sorry if this question belongs in the Finder area of Apple Discussions...

    Have you checked the network name in the sharing prefs?

  • How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

    How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
    This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

    Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

  • How to stop network name from incrementing

    every day the network name of my macbook pro increments; ie., macbook (2), macbook (3), ...... macbook (19).  How do I stop this?  It is making syncing and sharing a nightmare.

    It's a small but. First, remove power from your router and wait one minute. The restart it. Second, open Finder preferences, click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Uncheck the Bonjour Computers option under the Shared heading. Open Sharing preferences to return the Computer Name to what it should be.

  • Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

    I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.  
    2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes.  (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
    In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:  The handle is invalid."
    I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
    I tried to follow this site:  http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
    Then this error shows up when doing the repair:  there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
    I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups.  I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

    I came upon this thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
    Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas).  I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Elton,
    I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix.  Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5.  That is when I get the error (image above).  There
    was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'.  For more data, see 'Information Details'.
    To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
    From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
    Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
    Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
    When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
    After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.
    Thanks

  • How to use one Datasource name with different pools

    Hi,
    I am using WLS 814 with 4 managed servers.
    Our application uses (Entity) EJBs with a defined datasource name.
    Each managed server should have its own connection pool pointing to a separate database.
    Now I want to deploy the same EAR on all servers.
    But how can I use the same datasource name across all servers?

    Frank Bareuther wrote:
    The DBMS is the same, we are only using a different database user to log on.
    There is a separate db user for each server.
    The EAR with a given datasource name in the entity EJBs should be deployed
    on all 4 servers without changing descriptors.Interesting. And what is the value of using a different schema/user in the
    different servers? I do believe that this configuration issue can be
    achieved but I have not done it myself. I believe there is a way to
    have some portions of a managed server's configuration by in a per-server
    config file. That would be where you would define the pool. The DataSource
    could also be there (with the same name for every server), or it could
    be in the common one in the admin server.
    I would file a support case to get this documented to show you how to
    do what you want.

  • How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

    How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

    Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.
