I need a wifi bridge that is Ethernet and plug and play.

I am looking for a wireless bridge that I can install to an existing network through an Ethernet Jack. I do not have admin password so making any changes to the network is out of the question. The network does allow an Internet connection as I have used both my laptop and my ps3 with no issues.
What I need is a cheap portable bridge to get me 3 feet of wifi coverage and will plug and play. Would be nice to be able to have security on it but again with out access to the admin functions this might not be possible. I know some systems have a bind style security like aoss I think it is called. I have posted a link to bridges and would greatly appreciate any input on the subject.
I think the connection provider is comcast if it matters. Thank you to anyone that responds.

First a little background for those worried about security I have talked to the IT guys about the set up here. The people who installed the camera computers and the office computers did not physically connect the two networks. Hilarious, they also used free software to set up the camera computers and are running it on windows xp again I laugh as not a very reliable set up. Next apparently this network has Internet access but they are running no virus protection at all. The four computers running 16 cameras are not even sharing a single database each computer stores 4 cameras worth of slideshow style jpegs and if you want data from the other cameras it gathers it from the other computer and imports it not the most elegant solution. As for security issues I am a concierge at a condo, the data that a hacker would get access to is useless just jpegs of cameras doing what they do which is recording old people mostly. No access to the office network is probably why they really do not care about this network and the only reason it even has internet access is for off site IT guys to log in and troubleshoot any problems which they rarely do as the system seems very problematic since day one. I have been asked on many occasions to troubleshoot problems here and I am a trusted employee as for legal problems yeah right it is a condo they go after themselves like wolverines but as for employees they just hope they do not get sued for anything as it seems they just roll over and settle.
All of that being said the issue is the wireless in the lobby belongs to the residents and it is a finite source which they pay for out of maintenance fees so I want to get off of that network. My sling box set up is probably hogging some speed I would imagine, not to mention airplay and orb. I read that lots of these bridges have web based set up that is only needed the first time you set it up after that it is plug and play. So I use my laptop to set up security on the bridge and away we go.
Thanks guys for your input. It was helpful.

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • Trying to set up AV server on mini late 2012.  Will upgrade to Yosemite tomorrow.  Home Internewt is ATT Sierra mobile hotspot only.  So I think I need a wifi router that will tether the hotspot as sole internet source.  Recommendation for system set

    My system: Mac Mini late 2012 w/ 1 TB disk and *GB memory (for AV server), iPad air 2 w/ 64 GB, iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 6, iPhone 4, Macbook running Yosemite, older Macboo w/ 2GB memory & 160 GB hard drive, 1 TB back up drive, WiFi Printer
    Internet:  Wireless hotspot ATT 4G LTE limited to 5 GB/mo (no cable or DSL available. Router to be determined
    AV equip:  Vizio smart TV (WiFi capable & network cable), high end analog audio, DAC, Samsung TV/display w/ HDMI.
    Looking for a router recommendation that will utilize my ATT device and stream music (and of course less demanding DATA)
    What is/are recommended connection(s) between devices?  Hardwire Mini to main TV w/ HDMI, network or USB?  Help?

    Another way to set things up, use an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.
    My system setup has a cable modem directly connected to the AEBS.
    The AEBS is then setup to do all of the network management,  I use
    both hardwired and WiFi access via the AEBS.  It also has a USB port
    that you can use for attaching HDDs for common data access and even
    Time Machine backups.
    FWIW, here's my system:
    2011 MiniServer used as HTPC - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
    2010 Mini used as server - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
    (these are hardwired simply because of proximity to AEBS but could be WIFi connected)
    Late 2013 27" iMac workstation- hardwired or WIFi depending on needs
    Early 2011 Macbook Pro - WiFi connected
    iPhone 5S - WiFi connected as needed
    The 2010 Mini Server I use as my "iTunes hub" set up with Home Sharing and
    by running Server on it, have Apple download caching of both Mac and iOS
    apps, Time Machine backups and general backups for various content from
    the different computers.

  • I have 10.7.2 and the app store on mac mini says i need to update to that same number, and it is a long update why and what to do? applecare rep was rude and said it does not need it ? ignore? what to do?

    about says i have 10.7.2 yet app store on mac mini says i need to update it,
    what to do? applecare rep rude says ignore

    i appreciate the help since Applecare is not helping,
    and these replies have not helped, things have gotten worse,
    first even though you tell me i dont need the update, i still don't like seeing
    an update is available every time i go to macappstore,
    next three times now I downloaded the update, it is the whole 3.79 gb Mac OS 10.7.2
    i do the long download for the update,
    and install and give whatever they ask in passwords etc,
    then it reboots and go through all the new installation crap
    that I need to do
    it is getting to be like a Microsoft project here,
    and i cannot get google to show me the way or Applecare
    with the one year left on extended support, and these apple communities
    don't get me wrong, i am greatful for any help,
    especially since Apple care refuses to help,
    when they are paid to help
    you guys and gals are volunteers and mean well, even though you want to be right about what you say,
    the point is it says I need an update for the 10.7.2 and won't give me the update
    and take the update off,
    now if you say it is something i do not need and it is a glitch with macappstore,
    then why doesn't it get fixed or someone else complain about it?
    sorry if this offends Apple Zealots which i am one,
    I have a windows netbook but I am having more trouble with the latest mac and Icloud which I paid for extra service
    and two iphones  and i am frustrated, that on the iphone and itunes apps are missing and itunes does not have a direct chat line to help but that is for another forum, just putting it out there.

  • Need suggestions for software that can digitize and store my class notes.

    As the new semester starts soon, I would like to become better organized by digitizing, organizing and storing class notes in a database style system. Ideally the software would include a simple word processor, and have a preview system somewhat similar to the Finder.
    Does anybody have some suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    The indexing is the key factor, makes it easy find data and - even better - see connections between apparently disparate entries.

    Thanks very much for your suggestions, but after trying out iOrganize, I find that that is exact program I was after.

  • I need to find a dock for the ipod shuffle current gen that supports charging and playing simultaneously

    Ive seen many online and even some old links to products in the apple store, but these links are broken or the product is discontinued
    See:  http://pcmicrostore.com/2ND-GENERATION-APPLE-IPOD-SHUFFLE-USB-DOCK-STATION-WITH- AC-ADAPTER-CHARGER-W-AUDIO-OUT-YOUNG-MICRO/cat-p/c/p10504710.html
    Would anyone else know of a viable solution or could find a used product of the same attributes?
    Would a simple 35mm headphone splitter provide both wall charging and playback?

    If you have purchased the 16gB model, the wrist band is not included, and will need to be purchased separately.

    iPod touch
    iPod touch loop

  • Hi. I need a apple program that can work and open Office 7 Publisher

    Hi. I am new to apple computing and I find that my work in office publisher is not able to open on this Mac I have Pages but that is the only program I have on here.
    Can any help me with a suggestion whit what program Apple has that is comparable with this window format?

    I have a copy of Libre Office here, and I have a sample .pub file downloaded from MS. I can not open it using Libre Office, please point me to the method you used.
    But ....
    I just found (in the impress module) a listing for Publisher, unfortunately it fails when opening the sample file (looks like a text only import), I will look for another file to test with.
    Thanks for the lead.
    Update:
    It does work:
    Downloaded Publisher Template, opened and re-saved in Libre Office Draw.
    To the OP, download Libre Office, Viking should get the solved award.

  • I need to install CS2 that I purchased and there is no way I can find to install it.  I have uninstalled what I had on my computer.

    Very frustrating to not be able to work on my InDesign files today.  Spent hours online only to find out even though I had bought the CS2 Suite only a year ago, I had to uninstall and then download the suite.  I uninstalled, tried to install, but no luck.  It stops after asking what language I want.  No way to click on anything to install!
    Help.  I'm in the middle of a project with a deadline.
    Myrt

    There isn't much I can do.  I am just another user like yourself and have no special abilities to make things work beyond the provisions of the page I linked.
    I have to wonder if you are talking about CS2 and not some other newer version.  If you paid over $500 for CS2 a year ago (when it was first being offered free to owners who needed ro reinstall) someone made off like a bandit.  It wouldn't have been Adobe because they do not sell older versions of their software.
    What you oughta do if you have an immediate need to get some work done is to download a 30 day trial version of CS3 or newer.  The following site provides links for most trial versions starting with CS3... ‘DDL’ Articles at ProDesignTools

  • Will the new Airport Express bridge to my Xbox and play AirTunes?

    I have a dual band AirPort Extreme and would like to purchase an Airport Express for my Xbox.  I'd like to connect the Express to my wifi network and use the Ethernet jack to get my Xbox onto the network.   I'd also like to stream AirTunes to my stereo at the same time.  Is this possible? Thanks!

    You might want to keep in mind that you will not have a "true" Ethernet connection here. The quality of the Ethernet connection will only be as good as the speed of the wireless "hop" between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    In other words, since the Xbox connection depends on wireless, you may as well connect the Xbox using wireless....especially if your wireless signal is greater than normal "n" speeds of 130 Mbps.
    Remember, the Ethernet port on the Express is limited to 100 Mbps, so wireless may well be a faster connection than Ethernet to the Xbox.
    To realize the advantage of a "true" Ethernet connection to the network, you will need to connect an Ethernet cable from the Xbox to the AirPort Extreme....not the AirPort Express.

  • FI 6248 Pre Licenced ports(1-12) configuration for Ethernet and FC

    Hello UCS Gurus,
    I am setting up a new UCS lab with 1 5108 Chassis,pair of FI 6248 and FEX2104.My query about the FI 6248 is that
    1) I have 12 pre-licenced Unified ports on my FI 6248 and I need to configure 1-10 for Ethernet and 11th/12th for FC port.,,,,Is it a valid configuration?
    2) If yes tomorrow if I buy the licence for the remaining ports 13-32. Can i continue using them as Ethernet and FC ports in alternate.I know
    Ethernet ports/FC ports must be grouped together in a block and they should end with even numbered port.
    Looking for your response on this....

    Hello Padma,
    I am stucked at a point of configuration on my lab and need your valuable advice.
    I have 8 SFP-H10GB-CU3M and 4 Nos SFP-10G-SR in my BOM.
    My confusion is I have to accomodate these SFPs only in my currect environment.I cant wait for the entire process of re-ordering new SFPs.
    So I will have to split SFPs between the pair of FIs and IOMs.
    So is it that I am short of SFPs? because my understanding says that I will be needing atleast 4 SFPs(Cu) on both FIs.
    So for FI1----> 2 SFPs(Cu) for Server ports,2 SFPs(Cu) for Uplink Ethernet ports
    for FI2------> 2 SFPs(Cu) for Server ports,2 SFPs(Cu) for Uplink Ethernet ports
    That means all my 8 SFP-H10GB-CU3M are exhausted.
    I dont have more SFPs to connect to my 2104 IO Modules.Please suggest me some workaround.I am in process of creating a lab so performance and bandwidth is not an issue for me.
    Regards

  • Ethernet and Internet detected, not able to connect to web-browser

    I'm working on a 15" powerbook. I just got back to school, and when I plug into the ethernet port,my computer detects that the ethernet is plugged in and that I am connected to the internet. My IP Address is recognized and everything else. My problem is that when I try to open a web browser, it says it can't find the server. The same for when I try to log into AIM. I am connected to the network, as I can see "shard music" in iTunes and everything else. I am connected using DHCP. Anyone know where I should start? The "help-desk" here is of no help.

    Could be a DNS error,
    enter http://17.254.3.183 into your address bar.
    If you get to the apple site, then it is a DNS error.
    if not, I'd pull your system config plists and restart.

  • Tecra R840 - Ethernet and sound driver Dynadock issue

    Hey,
    Tecra R840, model PT429A-007004, does not work correctly with the Toshiba dyna dock.
    Specifically, the Ethernet and the audio driver for the dyna dock is not installed after running either the driver install from the dyna dock cd or running the latest driver from the website.
    Does anyone know a fix for this?
    Note: there is nothing in device manager to say that these drivers for the dock a missing, only when installing the driver does the wizard mention that the Ethernet and audio drivers could not be installed.
    It also mentions that the dynadock has an issue with the on board graphics card but we have not had any issues with graphics, i.e. screens.

    Hey,
    Sorry for the late reply.
    That fix does not resolve the issue.
    Manually adding the drivers removes the yellow exclamations marks and fixes the audio, but it does not fix the Ethernet connection. So, currently we have had to plug the Ethernet cable directly into the model of laptop mentioned above instead of the dock.
    Firmware update has not helped.
    Can anyone from Toshiba please test this and let me know their thoughts or perhaps a solution if found? It would be greatly appreciated.

  • My wife and I each have our own apple ID's which we use on our own iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac. Is there a way of enabling Facetime on the iMac to accept calls to either of our IDs without the need to login as that particular user?

    My wife and I each have our own apple ID's which we use on our own iPhones and iPads. We share an iMac. Is there a way of enabling Facetime on the iMac to accept calls to either of our IDs without the need to login as that particular user?

    no, when using facetime you log in with the apple id you want people to reach you at, so unless you both agree to share one apple id for all the facetime you do, it will be necessary for you to logout and login each time you use the application.

    When I try to connect to a WiFi network that I need a screen pops up and says "The network you're attempting to join requires you to install a profile on your Apple TV." What does this mean?

    Yes, home sharing requires both to be on the same wifi network. As it stands access to the network requires the login via webpage, which cannot be done on Apple TV.  You will need to speak to IT in order to grant access for the device.
