How to shorten wireless range

I have a linksys BEFW11S4 ver.4 i want to shorten the wireless range. Anyway to do that?

You could try removing the two antennae (spelled with 'ae' intentionally) depending on how short you want / need the range to be and see if
a) it works that way
and
b) the range is not too short that way.

How to extend wireless range with airport express

I am using 10.6.8....I have a wireless connection and would like to use an airport express to extend my range....the unit model is A1084. I can't find out how to do this in assistant. Does anyone know?

An Airport can extend only another Airport WiFi. It can not extend non-Apple WiFi systems.
I don't know the model numbers and I don't know when the extend capability was added.

HP Photosmart Plus B210 A - anyone one how far the wireless range is?

I have a new imac and printer. If my imac is sitting right next to the printer it prints.
If I move my MAC downstairs, the printer does not respond. I can go up to the printer and print out network config page and wireless test report and all shows okay, correct SSID, excellent signal strength, correct ip addresses....
How can I get my new wireless printer to work from a distance (and not that far of a distance).
Thank you

Is there a router involved? What brand/model?

Wireless Range Expader for WAG354G (EU)?

How can the wireless range of my WAG354G wireless home gateway be expanded? It seems not to be compatible with wireless WRE54G.

I don't think so that WAG54G should have any issue with WRE54G .....
For better connectivity on wireless network .....
Change the channel on router from 6 to 9 or 11
Under advance wireless settings .....
Becon interval sholud be 75
RTS & fragmentation threshold should be 2306

could you tell me how best to set airport express up to extend my wifi range?

Greetings,
This is called an "Extended wireless network".

How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

How to extend the range with a second Airport Express? Do I need a DSL cable?

Thanks, now we need a bit more information, please, in order to provide you with the correct information that you need.
I assume that you already have one AirPort Express.....either a model A1264 or A1392.....set up and operating OK, is that correct?
If yes, you can extend the network either by using wireless or an Ethernet cable with a second AirPort Express.....either the A1264 or A1392 model. A wired connection is the way to go, if possible, since it provides better performance. But, wireless might work OK for you if you want to try that.
Let us know "how" you want to extend......wireless or wired?

Ipad 2 Wireless Range Sucketh?

Ok, I love my new Ipad 2, but someone please tell me the itty bitty wireless range is not a hardware issue? I can only use the Ipad in the same room with my router or I lose all bars until the connectivity disappears and Ipad cant even find the network. I dont really need an Ipad in the same room as my laptop. I bought the device because it is small and portable.
Any clues on how to improve the range?
Realy disappointed in my $700 toy.
iOS 5.0.1 on a fresh Ipad 2.

the range on my iPad isn't as good as my Touch, but it should be better than that. You don't have it in any sort of case that would block/impeed the antenna? as I understand it, the antenna is behind the Apple logo on the back.

Airport Express to extend wireless range?

Just received an Airport Express for Christmas and wanted to use it to extend my wireless range. I have an Asante FR1004AL wireless router connected via ethernet to DSL modem and a Titanium Powerbook using OS 10.3.9 and an original Airport card. I am interested in finding out how to make the AX extend the wireless connection, when I plug it n all I get is a flashing amber light and can't access the Asante via Airport Assistant to make any adjustments. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the AX will recognize the Asante router since I can't make it work. If the Asante is compatible, I guess I need some instructions about how to get the AX to work with this setup. I have no experience with wireless setups, very much a novice in this area.

The only way you can extend the wireless range is to run an Ethernet cable to the Airport Express and set what's called "active roaming" (see Apple's Knowledge Base; search for "active roaming").
In order to extend the range strictly wirelessly, you need a base station that supports the flavor of Wireless Distribution System (WDS) that Apple uses in their base stations. As far as I know, only Apple Airport Extreme/Express base stations, LinkSys WRT54G, certain Buffalo Technology models, and one Belkin model support a compatible WDS protocol.

How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme network by adding an Airport Express

How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme network by adding an Airport Express?

You have to make sure that the AirPort Express is in Factory Default Settings. If it is straight out of the box, it is ready to be configured.
The instructions that I will provide are for using AirPort Utility 6.0, which you have.
Locate the Express in the same room as the AirPort Extreme for the configuration. Power it up and allow a full minute for the Express to display a blinking amber light.
Make sure that the wireless is turned on your Mac
Open AirPort Utility 6.0 and look at the small rectangle in the upper left hand corner of the display. It should now read something like "Other AirPort Base Stations (1)"
Click on the rectangle, and then click on the AirPort Express xxxxxx listing
AirPort Utility will take a minute or two to analyze the settings on your network and then suggest that the Express be configured to "Extend" your wireless network.
Edit the Base Station name to your liking, then click Next in the lower right hand corner
Allow a full minute or two let AirPort Utility do its work
When you see Setup Complete, click Done at the lower right of the window.
Now move the AirPort Express to a location that is approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more wireless coverage.
You should be in business.

Extend wireless range with Airport Express?

Hi,
I am using a Time Warner internet wifi router and need to extend the range in my home. Can anyone help me with how to extend the range using an Airport Express?
Thanks
Chris

Chris, are you planning to connect the AirPort Express to the Time Warner router using a wired Ethernet connection?
The reason we ask is that Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature to provide more wireless coverage....using wireless only.....works only with other Apple routers as far as we know.
It is almost certainly not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

Extend Time Capsule Wireless Range

I am having trouble with my Time Capsule's wireless range. I am not a networking expert by any means. I own an old building that is 4 stories connected by stairs with thick walls. All the rooms ethernet cables converge in a cubby on the 3rd floor. I placed my Time Capsule in the cubby, but I couldn't receive a wireless signal from the 1st floor. This is ironic because I have an old Netgear G router that sends signals throughout all 4 floors. So I bought an Airport Express to extend my network wirelessly, but the signal has been unstable perhaps because the Time Capsule's wireless signal is too weak. So I want to connect the Airport Express on the 1st floor using the Ethernet link from the 3rd floor Time Capsule which is my main router. From my research, I discovered about WDS networks, which I believe you have to use in order to create a network with multiple Apple base stations linked through ethernet.
I called Applecare who told me:
-To connect from Time Capsule to Airport Express using Ethernet, must use WDS network. Setup Airport Express as Relay, NOT Remote.
-Relay- Direct ethernet connection from Time Capsule to Airport Express, then wireless connection from Airport Express to Macbook.
-Remote- Wireless signal from Time Capsule to Airport Express, then direct Ethernet connection from Airport Express to Macbook
I have several questions for you wise people out there:
1. To extend the Time Capsule wireless network using the Airport Express, but connected directly via ethernet, do I need to setup a WDS network?
2. I prefer to just use the simple Apple settings "extend network wirelessly". Will this setting only boost a wireless signal received from the Time Capsule? Can it not extend a wireless signal sent directly from Ethernet?
3. I'm considering getting a Quickertek Triband antenna to place outside the cubby. Anyone have any experience with Airport external antennas?:

Any information would be much appreciated! These networking issues have been giving me months of headache.
Thank you!

Extending your network with an AirPort Express (AX) won't boost the TimeCapsule's (TC's) range per se. It will expand the network's range by adding another transceiver.
If you'd prefer to avoid using Ethernet to connect the TC and AX, you might get a better signal on the first floor if the AX was on the second floor, i.e, roughly halfway between the TC and the 1st-floor computer. [Extending the range of an 802.11n network|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirPortUtility/5.1/en/ap21 24.html] describes how to configure them.
If an Ethernet linkup is no problem, though, that should work even better. In this case, it's best to use different (by 3 or more) channels on the 2 stations to reduce the chance that they'll interfere with each other.
Either way, it's best to use the same network name, network password, and encryption on both stations so you can roam freely through the building without needing to switch manually between them.
[Designing AirPort Networks 10.5-Windows manual|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] is another good resource you may find helpful.

Porblem with WGXB102 (wireless range extender) and imac

Everytime my imac sleeps it can't access the internet using the WGXB102, however I can switch directly to the router with my old setup and the internet works. The only way I get the extender to work is to reset the main netgear router. How can I get the extender to work after the computer goes to sleep?

Yes there are some issues with the Wireless Range Extender version 3.0 ...related to IP Conflict ... but they can be resolved by upgrading the firmware of the Range Extender .....
You can use Range Extedner version 2.0 & 3.0 ....

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);
