HT1178 I don't want to use it as a wireless network.  I just want it to back up my computers.  How do I set it up?

I don't want to use it as a wireless network as I have the modem supplied by Optium.   I want it to back up my computers.

Plug it into the main modem which must also be a router.
Put the TC in bridge mode..
Then go to the wireless page and either turn it off.. but I recommend roaming.. as the TC is much faster on the 5ghz band and backups can drag down wireless performance of the whole network.
Roaming setup thusly. ...just give the TC the same wireless name= SSID as the main router.. same security.. WPA2 AES= WPA2 Personal and the same security password.. and then the computer will simply pick the best wireless to connect to.. without creating a second wireless network.. although it is not really such an issue to do so.

    No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
    How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
    Is the TP-Link ADSL?
    Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
    Or a different vlan.
    Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
    The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
    Here is one for our local ISP.

    He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
    http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
    Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking.

    Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor if your new computer does not have a Firewire port.

  • Lost Connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network

    I have this problem playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour online. I'm using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network & when I'm in the game lobby, it kicks me off saying, "Lost connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online". This happens quite often variing on me entering & exiting rooms or other players entering & exiting rooms that I'm in. But it doesn't occur when I'm accually play a game with someone. It also does not happen at all when I'm connected directly to the internet connection so I know the network is causing it.
    I've never had any problem with this game on any other wireless network types before. I've tried port forwarding with a static IP address, disabling firewalls,  upgrading firmware, etc... No good. I've done some google research & found that varios other people on other forum sites have the same problem, it also occurs on  another computer of mine. 
    Is there some kind of feature on this network that isn't on any others? One wireless network specificly that I've found that the game works on is the WRT54GS.
    Any replies will be greatly appriecitated.
    Message Edited by Me Myself AndPi on 02-20-2008 03:13 PM

    Maybe I would if I hadn't stopped playing the game 3.5 years ago. You may want to check the date on those previous message. But here's what I remember:
    Turns out nothing worked the fix the problem. Not turning of a firewall, not port forwarding, not updating fireware, nothing. There must be a jitter on the routher that triggers the game into thinking it gets disconnected.
    Many other users on the forums posted the same problem with this one router too & no one ever figured out a solution. Eventually that router broke & my family bought the WRT54GS2, which worked perfectly.

  • I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

    You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both.  Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
    To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

    Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

  • I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  AE no longer works.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  Airport Express no longer connects to my network.  I have downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 to try and configure, but with no luck.

    TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

  • If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
    So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

  • I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
    Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now.  In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want.  TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

  • I am considering using I Pad for a presentation and want to use it in a wireless environment and though a projector not a TV monitor. Can I use Apple TV and apple wireless base,

    I am considering using I PAD for a presentation using a projector.  How can this be done.  will Apple TV connect to a projector and if so does the projector have to have an HDMI slot or is there some sort of adapter to convert VGA slot so it connects with Apple TV. I also want to do it wirelessly so does the Apple wireless device work for this purpose, is so what do I need to connect that to the Apple TV  and to projector.  So, ideally I want to be able to operate the IPAD without it being connected to cables and have the image procted on screen using a projector which only has the VGA slot not an HDMI slot. any suggestions will be appreciated.

    It can use Apple Tv, but will require a wireless network as well. The Apple TV has an HDMI output, and depending on the projector it may connect directly to it through HDMI.
    There are adpaters out there that will convert from HDMI to several other types such as VGA or Composite oir RGB. It would not be directly an Apple product as it would work with the HDMI cable rather than the apple TV or iPad directly.
    Basically your setup should be:
    iPad  -> Wifi Network -> Apple TV-- HDMI Cable-->Adapter---->Projector
    If the iPad is iPad 2 or above you can mirror the entire display to the projector through the apple Tv.
    The Adapter would be something like this for instance:
    http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-Composite-S-Video-Converter/dp/B0047PDBP0
    Or this:
    http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Component-Converter-Support-Surround/dp/B004F9XVBC
    With that said there are projectors that can be used wirelessly from the ipad without the need for Apple Tv or any adapter.
    Epson makes one and a proprietary App to use it.

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • I want to use time machine on a network drive

    i know in the past Apple holds us hostage to buy their time capsule.  With Lion now launched, is there a work around to allow families to buy there own hard drive and use it for multiple macs for time machine?
    Im fairly new to Mac, convinced my wife to switch, now here we are held captive to buy a TC when we already have a fantastic 2TB drive we purchased for a fraction of the price of a TC.  I dont care about wifi, I just want to save our Mini time machine to our MBP networked drive (or vice versa).
    I currently have Lion on the MBP, and Leopard on the Mini.  After installing and hating Lion on my MBP, i have not "upgraded" the mini.  (although I am currently following the "upgrade back to Leopard" threads)
    Thanks for any help or ideas.

    In the past Apple was not holding you hostage by requiring you to use a Time Capsule for network Time Machine backups. Search on Google for Time machine NAS OS X (or something like that) You will find a number of drives that were working with SL.
    Now, they did change the file protocol in Lion, so some of the NAS servers won't work with Lion, at the moment. So long as it is a decent company that makes the NAS they should be releasing a firmware update to get their NAS working with Lion.
    One of the companies that put out a press release was Western Digital. They said they would be working on an updated firmware so that you could use it as a Time Machine drive.
    Just look around the interwebs and I am sure you will find several that will work.
