I Have a befw11s4 wireless b router. do I need to upgrade this router

My kids play ps3 and ps2.The ps3 is wireless and the ps2 is hardwired.
We have been using this router for a while now running the two ps2's.
The last few days games they have been real laggy and kick them off.
Is this because I've added two ps3's and 2 laptops which are all wireless?
(having trouble while one ps2 is running and everything else turned off)
My speeds on speedtest look good. Was just wondering if a new router would fix
this problem. Or am I looking in the wrong direction?

One other thing I went on an order the LinksysWRT330N
Is this something that will make my gaming better?
also again I want to thank you for your help
Yo lennut ,
For Flawless Gaming you need Some tweaks to be taken care of .
WRT330N surely provide some addition to it , though Not much difference with a normal WRT54G.
SO no need to worry about , buying a new router.
Just Connect wirelessly to the wireless network which is yours , through your PS3 or Xbox -360 .
you should be able to log in .
Any prob..? just post here ,

New computer, no router software on it, need to upgrade/fix router

Hi,
My Macbook no longer can get an internet connection (just at my house), and I think I might need to upgrade my router. However, the router was originally setup with a different/now dead computer, so I don't have the setup software to make the edits/upgrades I need.
Router model - WRT160N v2
wireless cable connection via Airport
Mac OSX v.10.5.8
I'm wondering what the steps would be to load up the router software, upgrade the router and setup my Macbook so it'll work again. Any little tip is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any software to setup the router. Connect via your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank password admin. Now configure the router manually like all.

No discount for anyone. If you can upgrade your hardware to Mavericks, then it will cost you $20 bucks.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

If this is a company computer or is used with company software, I suggest you do not upgrade to Mavericks without first checking with your company. Older software may not work with Mavericks. Some of it may need upgrading, and that may be something your company is unwilling to pay for.

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD

I have Final cut Pro HD sequence and I need to burn this on a DVD, my sequence lasts 1 hr and 33 minutes. What are my options? Is it better to export as a Quick Time movie or using the compressor? I'm new to the compressor just learning, please help.

Select your sequence in the browser window, go to the File menu and choose Export Using Compressor.
When compressor opens, choose the DVD best quality settings, 120 minutes.
For audio and video both, choose both the m2v video and the AC3 audio. (Dolby Professional)
Choose a destination for your files, and hit submit.
When it's finished, import these files into your DVD SP project, and make your DVD.
Be sure to choose the 16:9 anamorphic settings.

VC6. is rather old, but you can try to convert the VC6 project using the upgrade wizard of VC2012. Depending on the content of the project your code will work more or less without problems, at least it will compile without errors.
You could also go the 2nd way and create in VC2012 a project type using the wizard that is very similar to your current VC6 projcet (MDI, SDI, Dialog Based, ...). Than you replace the files generated by the wizard with the content of your project. Sometimes
this way is more successful.
But at all the automated converting success depends on the code of your VC6 project. I had both, conversions without big problems and also conversions that need a lot changes to run on a current VC version.
Best regards

How do I get Mac App Store on my computer? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

How do I get Mac App Store on my iMac? I have 10.5.8 OS. If I need to upgrade first how do I do that? It says that my software is updated.

And once you get Mac OS X 10.6 installed, update it to at least 10.6.6 which was the first version to include the Mac App Store (the latest version is 10.6.8). The DVD you get will almost certainly be only 10.6.3. You can update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 via Software Update, or you can download a standalone Combo updater (Support tab above, then Downloads).
Regards.

It's wrong for you to assume that they don't care about what they are about to lose, even if it's one PPC program.
It's not uncommon for people to keep their software up to date.
It's wrong for you to assume that all software is being updated or that there are Intel versions available.
I have a mid/late-2007 MacBook Pro 3.1 with 6 Gigs of RAM and a 750 Gig 7200rpm hybrid hard drive that is running Mountain Lion just fine. Performance benchmarks with Geekbench are equal between SL and ML, and the Mac runs about 20 F degrees cooler than it did with SL.
You took extremely good care of your almost 7 year old machine and judiciously used it, you added more RAM and a faster cooler hybrid drive to make up for the more feature rich yet slower performing Mountain Lion.
Congratulations, your a conservative.
It would be nice to have some empathy for the people you advise that they also also don't get suddenly ambused by a OS X upgrade that's going to disable software they care about using still.

Firefox 16 is the last version that will run on Mac 10.5. You can purchase an update to Mac 10.6 for about $20 US, if the hardware in your machine supports it.

HT5502 I have snow leopard 10.7.5 Do I need to download this upgrade of safari

I have snow leopard 10.5.2 Do I need to upgrade safari since I updated my itunes10?

I think you have a confusion of versions here. You say you have Snow Leopard 10.7.5 in your topic title. 10.7.5 is a version of Lion, not Snow Leopard. Then in the message you say Snow Leopard 10.5.2 (there is no such version of Snow Leopard.) Then you want to know about upgrading Safari because you updated iTunes, yet these are unrelated.
I can tell you that if you have Snow Leopard 10.7.5 then you have the latest version of Safari for that version of OS X. The current version of iTunes is 10.7 (not to be confused with versions of Lion.) Snow Leopard is 10.6.x.

I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade

I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade. I'm not too computer savvy but can handle basic things. How should I proceed?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

I have a G% with OS X 10.4, what do I need to upgrade this computer?

What is the best pathway to upgrade this machine so it will at least be able to run the HP Photosmart 6520 I just bought?

A G5 is not an Intel, it is PPC, and can't be upgraded to Intel. It can be upgraded to 10.5.8, which may or may not support your printer. Have a look at my printer guide*. 10.5 and higher do not support Classic either. This tip explains how to migrate to Intel Macs. That may require you to buy all new software as well. So determine first if the printer is worth the upgrade to new software, or if you should just get an older printer that supports old software better. Cannon's MX-700 is an excellent printer for PowerPC Macs that is still available.

A somewhat naive and insensitive response to the problem:

Perhaps. But it's been several years since Apple binned Rosetta -- and much rumpus has been made of it. (It was of course an optional download in Snow, which gave the game away.) So there has been considerable "fair warning".
Fair warning to who: geek-heads like us who frequent tech boards on a somewhat consistent basis?
That is not who is continuing to use Snow Leopard in 2014. These are people who purchased a Mac for a few specific tasks and believe in the well-worth aphorism that: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Optional install of Rosetta in Snow Leopard -- minimal significance in that the first time they ran a PowerPC app, it directed them to download Rosetta. This happened once and long ago. Few would even remember this occurrence.

I can only presume that people who have been happily using Snow Leopard or earlier for many years, who suddenly now decide to upgrade, are doing so because the apps they use demand it.
A mis-reading of the current tea leaves!
Apple's latest update of the Snow Leopard App Store continuously reminds these users that a new version of OS X, Mavericks, is available; and... FOR FREE! With the only option to close this dialog box, a click on DETAILS...
Pretty hard for the inexperienced (let alone the unexperienced) to ignore.
These people have not thought much about upgrading their OS X since Snow Leopard's introduction in June 2009. That is a long time to have had computer stability and ignorant bliss! I am somewhat jealous of their status!
benwiggy wrote:
Of course you should always make sure that your apps will run in any new OS version.
Sage advice: but only if the end user has read it! How often do we see the roaringapp website cited to those Snow Leopard users that are educated enough to come to this forum and inquire about the update?
Unfortunately too many of them have already taken the plunge and now are confused why their individual set of important programs will not operate after the upgrade! They at least have options...
Far worse are those who upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks for hardware reasons: they purchased a new Mac, potentially to replace one whose hardware has failed. Now after their migrate their data from their backup or clone, they are faced with a much more limited set of options.
The fact of the matter is that there is significant history here: the 'miracle' of Rosetta. Apple designed it to be transparent and mostly invisible. Most Snow Leopard users today have no idea what the difference is between PowerPC software and that which will run on an Intel family processor; and why should they?
Again, only when faced with the dreaded "PowerPC apps will not run" dialog box, do they realize that something is wrong, very wrong!
The proof of the pudding are the significant numbers of recent Snow Leopard to Mavericks upgraders who, for the most part, find their way to this forum facing a problem they are neither reasonably educated about by Apple beforehand, nor are they at fault for the problem they are facing.
Telling them that somehow it is their fault for not having taken the proper precautions only adds to their frustration!
The fact that you personally have seen this problem happen countless times, has no significance to that one user who tomorrow will post the problem anew...
For those who are lucky enough to have the same hardware and have inquired about the problem ahead of their upgrade to Mavericks, the proper advice is to partition or add another hard drive and install Mavericks there!
Experiment with their existing environment in Mavericks but have the dual-boot ability to immediately go back to using Snow Leopard as needed.
Any other advice is heartless and cruel and certainly not harsh!

If I have a serviceable old iPhone 3, would I need to upgrade to 5 if I get an iPad?

If I have a serviceable old iPhone3, would I need to upgrade to 5 if I intend to get an iPad? iPhone3's limitations include its minimal access to apps. Can i get all the apps I need on iPad and use iPhone just to make calls? I can readily get sim cards for my 3 when I am overseas and cannot do that with 5.
If the only thing iPad cannot do is make and receive phone calls, and if that is all iPhone3 can do for me, would I be wiser to simply use them for separate purposes?

Im not an ipad expert yet so maybe you will get answers from some that are. But since the iphone and ipad are both IOS, I think you can get the same apps plus you would have a bigger screen. I like to use imessage on my ipad and you can only do that on an iphone 4s or above.
