HT3180 Can apple tv cause intermittent wireless modem signals?

Can apple tv on Netflix cause intermittent wireless performance and cut out the signal

It's more likely to be other equipment that is causing the problem (neighbouring networks, electrical equipment etc)

How can I turn off the wireless modem on my HPG5200uk Desktop?

How can I turn off the wireless modem on my HPG5200uk Desktop? I have an ethernet connection, and don't want to be blasted by unnecessary radio waves.

Hi,
You may not have a wireless network adapter.
If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

Apple Mail causes Westell 6100F modem to "lock up"

Basic info: Mac Mini, Snow Leopard, all updates applied, Verizon DSL, Westell 6100F DSL modem, Linksys WRT300N router. Connected to rouste by CAT 5 cable. Using Mail with Gmail.
Recently when I start Mail, the DSL modem's Data light blinks very rapidly and no other app or user can access the Internet. This includes my wife's laptop and our cell phones. We're rural and have a Verizon "booster" to have a Cell signal in our valley.
When I quit Mail, peace is restored.
I've not changed Mail settings since I installed Snow Leopard and opened a Gmail acct.
As I write this, I'm beginning to wonder whether the culpret is not Mail but some other program that is sparring with Mail. I've been focussing all of my efforts on Mail. Reinstalled it. Restarted modem, router, Mac in various combinations, no joy. I can read Gmail with Safari. Not as nice a Mail, but works for now.

Not sure if the video card is causing the lockups in Second Life on my machine - although the graphics did wonk out horribly (ironic for an online game based on key components of openGL/java/quicktime).
Latest release seems to be pretty stable - but that's relative, could run 6 hours straight one day without a glitch with excess ram allocated, unrestricted draw distance/select, all the things LL said don't do, then next day set it to recommended and it was freeze city...
Can't really get into a blame game cuz I had many friends on Second Life with different configurations.. macbook pros (Nvidia) to iMacs (ATI), from FiOS to DSL to Cable of different service quality (some on airport, some on brand x, some direct network connected (cabled)).. they could hang in there for hours - they might crash from a lost connection - I rarely ever got the chance to crash - would hard freeze the whole iMac, requiring a restart.
It may get ironed out eventually... I may try other configurations as well (switch to cable from DSL), I already know XP works (better) on other boxes - might try dual boot on the iMac... or I might just write it off as a loss and do an "I'm a mac - and I'm a PC" commercial in the path of an oncoming steamroller.
If it's of any "help" I did learn that 2wire DSL gateways are (were?) very problematic with the LL Mac viewer...(with Mac in general).

IPad and Apple TV mirror intermittent yet wifi signal is strong with solid Internet connection

On my iPad, I like to be able to mirror everything to my Apple TV when there is company. Sometimes this is not a problem. When I select the icon for the menu to choose iPad or Apple TV, it comes up OK but I cannot always select Apple TV. It is intermittent and I cannot find the pattern. All other connections are solid and strong.

Connect up the ipad/iphone to the Seagate hdd (use the default settings to start with, then u can change name of network/password ect)This is an app for the seagate hdd that does this.
Turn on the AppleTV and then just usging the built in Menu go to Network, and then pick the network that has been set up on the seagate Hdd.
ALL this does let you do is, Mirror the ipad/iphone as there is no internet connection. but thats ok cause internet was not a must for me. if i want internet on it, i just connect it up to my Home network.

On 12-15 at 5:15 p.m. I lost connection with my HP Notebook to the wireless modem

I contacted the service on our modem and the service is there. They had me connect with the manual cord that came with the modem to get in contact with HP to find out why the computer can no longer find the wireless modem.

I fixed the wireless connection myself...thanks

How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model Actiontec 424wi F series. Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F. Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC? Will FIOS tv be effected?

Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.

Can I use an airport extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem

Can I use an Airport Extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem?
At one end of my house I have a dual band wireless ADSL modem which provides my internet connection and I want to extend (improve) the wireless coverage to the other of the hosue where my Apple TV (2nd gen) is located. I have being trying to extend my wireless network with an Airport Extreme but so far without success. I can get the Airport to join the wireless network, but I suspect that it is only acting as another client and not actually extending the wireless range. There is a setting in the Airport configuration to "extend and existing network", however when I choose this option the Airport no longer connects to my existing wireless network and I am beginning to suspect that this fuction only works with another Apple device (Airport Extreme or Express).
Has anyone been able to extend the range of a third party wireless router / modem with an AirPort Extreme? If so, any advice that you can offer wold be appreciated.
Regards
Michael

Thanks Tesserax,
Your answer has confirmed my suspicions.
Option 1 from your suggested solutions is not a goer because the modem and Airport Extreme are in different parts of the house making it impractical to run a cable between the two devices.
I did try option 2 and bought a Netgear range extender, which according to Netgear it would work with my D-Link modem - not.
However I have managed to work around the problem (sort of) by using the Airport Extreme to create a wireless network between my iMac 27 and my Apple TV. The idea is that the iMac will act as a router between ethernet connected ADSL modem and the wirelessly connected Apple TV.
The good news is that I am now able to play the content from my iTunes library on my Apple TV without interruptions due to a poor wireless connection . Although the connection from the Apple TV to the internet is not working I think this is most likely just a configuration issue and for me it is not really a show stopper.

HT201210 i am trying to update my wifes phone and something keeps crashing and it will not update. this is getting frustrating. can someone login to my computer and fix this. i tried updating this on saturday morning and my wireless modem kept crashing

i tried updating my wifes phone on saturday morning. my wireless modem kept crashing and it restored her phone and it is blank. i cannot get it to upload anything so the phone is useless. can someone help

No one on this user to user forum is going to log into your computer to help you. Why would you want a stranger in your stuff anyway?
My suggestion is to take the phone to the nearest Apple Store and let them restore the phone for you. Then get your Internet problems sorted before trying to update any other iOS devices.

Am I right in thinking that you can't extend your network wirelessly with a time capsule unless your base station is an apple one?

My new time capsule will only allow me to extend my network via ethernet cable.
What I really want to do is use it wirelessly as an extension wirelessly.
The option is there (under other options in airport utility) but when I select it and move on it reverts back to create a new network.
Why is this?
Am I trying to achieve the impossible?
I have an airport express and that be added to my network wirelessly with no issue at all.
Please help
Russell

Can I just "join" the network with my time capsule like I have with my airport express?
Apple does not present this option....but, even if they did.....this would be the worst possible option to use for backups.
Can I use my airport express as a base (connected via Ethernet to the router) for my time capsule to extend from wirelessly?
Yes, you can. The AirPort Express would be configured to "create a wireless network"......then.....the Time Capsule could be configured to "extend a wireless network".
It is critically important that the Time Capsule be located where it can receive a very strong wireless signal from the AirPort Express in this type of setup. The more that you have line-of-sight between the AirPort Express and Time Capsule, the better your network performance will be and the faster that backups will occur to the Time Capsule.
A better option in terms of performance would be to connect the Time Capsule to your current modem/router using an Ethernet connection and have the Time Capsule "create" the network. Then, use the Express to "extend" the network.
Here, I am assuming that you have a new Time Capsule.

I need to go very very near to my wireless modem to find my network and if i go a little far i can not connect but before it was not like that?!what is the problem?!

Hey Babakgh,
I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

Can apple time capsule act as a wireless hard drive storage by Samsung smart tv?

Can apple time capsule act as a wireless hard drive storage by Samsung smart tv? Samsung smart tv is connected to apple time capsule through wireless as a modem at the moment

If you look on the right side there pops up similar questions.. which works better than search btw..
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16432256#16432256
The Samsung.. may not be able to see the Time Capsule hard disk..
because it does not contain any files it can read.
because it is not conformed to standard SMB file system.. the TC name is often illegal.. remove all spaces and special characters and keep it short.
Same for wireless name and all passwords.
There is no media player in the TC so it is useless for your TV even if it can see the hard drive .. the TC is a dumb backup device.

Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

Hello.
Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
Thank you in advance.

They can be used both as a USB-connected modem and as a Wi-FI hotspot. Wi-FI Hotspot tends to be the easiest to configure. To turn it on, you'll need to go to Settings > Personal Hotspot and configure the few settings that appear in the menu.
Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?
