I want to use WRT160N as an access point...-but

I can't see other machines on network. I have a cable modem/router with 4 ports. Total of 3 computers (2 desktops wired to cable modem ,1 wireless laptop) Wireless laptop connects thru WRT160N to internet fine. I setup WEP, hid SID, and it still connects to the internet fine. For some reason I cannot connect to workgroup. I tried disabling DHCP server in WRT160N, but then my laptop doesn't get an IP address. For now all I want to do is use the WRT160N as an access point and be able to see local workgroup computers. I'm sure it's a simple setting I'm missing - but to be honest my brain has turned to applesauce and I can't seem to find anyone talking about this type of configuration anywhere. Thanks in advance, _mez

I am confused by your setup. You said that you have "2 desktops wired to cable modem".   So, is this how your system looks?
modem ------------- WRT160N ))))          (((( wireless computer
    |   |
    |   |--- wired computer 1
    |------  wired computer 2
If this is not correct, please explain more about your setup.
If this is correct, how is the WRT160N setup? Is the modem wired to the Internet port or a LAN port on the WRT160N? What address is the modem using?
What is the make and exact model number of your modem?   I assume the modem has a DHCP server -- is that correct?   Also, is there some reason that the wired computers cannot be connected to the WRT160N?

Will older Airport Express Base Station A-1084 work with new AirPort Extreme? I want to use it as an access point for my ps3 for watching movies and just connectin to Internet.

I am lookin to plug in an older model a-1084 next to my playstation for a dedicated access point to avoid dropping so many connections since I am at the furthest point of my wifi coverage. Will it work or not? It would be connecting through a AirPort Extreme bought in 2011 -2012.

This will work if you plan to connect the AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection back to the AirPort Extreme.
But, it won't work if you plan to connect the Express using wireless only. That's because your older version of the Expess does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it's not possible to "extend" the wireless signal using wireless only.
If you added a "new" AirPort Express, that version does have the capability to "extend a wireless network" from the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
Keep in mind that to "extend" using wireless, the Express will need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme, since the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives. In other words, the Express can make the signal go further, but it cannot make the signal go faster.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

Setup for remote app: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1947
Specifically:
Set up Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation)
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu.
Select General > Remotes > Remote App. If Home Sharing isn't set up on your Apple TV, you should turn it on.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) uses Home Sharing to stream content from your iTunes library on your computer to your HDTV. If you connect your Apple TV to your iTunes library using Home Sharing, you can use Remote to browse and play content from any iTunes library in the Computers section of your Apple TV. You can also use Remote to select between available speakers to enhance your audio and video experience.

The easiest way would be to download the trial version, and then use your existing serial number to activate. Or, if you have already downloaded the update to use to update your original installation, you could copy the file that you downloaded to a flash drive and use it on your other computer.

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive.

A wrt54g wont talk to a wrt54g wirelessly.

Using routers as wireless access point

Hello,
i am thinking of buying Linksys x2000 , WAG160N or any other you suggest to use as a wireless access point. Is it possible?
My setup is : I get my internet from my neighbor by ethernet cable from his router. My house is two-storied and ethernet cable comes to top left corner of first floor and the devices(two notebook) are on the bottom right corner at the second floor , insulation greatly reduces the signal strength.
Thank you.

You can use any other routers, do not use X2000 or WAG models. I think they get Internet from an RJ11 connection. Use an Access Point. WAP series.

Do you have location services turned on? See Settings > Privacy > Location Services
In any event Maps can be used to obtain directions by supplying the start and end locations after touching "Directions" in the upper left corner.

I thought yes, more like this on the right says no. Why not take the two devices outside and try.
