Is an AppleTV and Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring Screen?

Is an AppleTV and a Wireless Router Needed for Mirroring from a desktop monitor to an HDTV?

It is one way.
You can also use a mini Display Port to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable. A Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter works too.
You might be able to get away with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, if you use an Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Apple TV (never tried it, but it should work in theory).
You may even be able to use an adhoc network with an Apple TV and no WiFi router, but I think the setup would be annoying each time you wanted to mirror and you would give up internt access while the adhoc network was active.

The remote app requires both to be on the same network and home sharing to be enabled, you will need the physical remote to set this up. You can purchase a replacement through Apple.

Trouble with Qwest DSL and wireless router

Just got Qwest DSL yesterday. Connected the Actiontec M1000 modem directly to our IMac and things worked fine. Unfortunately, our office doesn't have a phone line and the permanent home of the modem is going to be elsewhere in the house. I tried to connect our D-Link wireless router WBR-2310 Rangebooster G to the Actiontec, phone jack--ethernet cable---actiontec---ethernet cable---d-link wan jack. Airport can "see" the wireless network we had setup before we switched to qwest dsl, but cannot connect to the internet.
I'm assuming there is communication problem between the dsl modem and wireless router.
How should my network settings be changed? Do I need to reconfigure the modem, or the wireless router, or both?

Now, I must say that the 3mbps download speed I'm apparently paying for has never been achieved. The fastest I got was 1.4mbps when hardwired. Now with the wireless I'm only around 750 kbps. I'm only twenty feet away and one wall from the router. Any suggestions on increasing this performance?
Very few sites can actually send you 3mb/s. You can test your connection here:

or here:

If your speeds don't seem to be inline then you will have to deal with your broadband provider.
At 54mb/s your wireless is not the bottleneck, the internet is.
I'm getting 6mb DSL and it tests perfect, but I wanted the extra speed because I'm running 6 or 8 machines online at all times, and you usually get a faster upload speed with the deal. This can be very important for sharing files and sending emails with attachments, etc.

Turned off power strip to DVR Box and Wireless Router...now I don't have internet connection..

I went away this past weekend and turned off the power strip that my DVR box and wireless router are plugged into. When I got home early this morning I powered them back on and I did not have an internet connection anywhere in my home. I restarted the router twice and still no connection. My computer says that connection to my wireless is "very good" but I get notice that computer "cannot display webpage" or "invalid web address". I left for work and have not tried anything else to remedy this issue. Ideas anyone?

Is your TV Service and Phone service if you have it working as it should? What does the router indicate as far as status lights go?

I would think you'd have to change the language to British English to get the pound sign. THat or turn off your wireless keyboard and get the pound sign from the on screen keyboard, then turn your wireless board back on.

Wireless router options for new mixed Mac and PC wireless network

I just acquired a second-hand dell laptop, and want to move from no network to wireless g/n network based on cable modem which include the iMac. This network must also accomodate a business only Dell laptop running XPsp2 (of which I have no adminstrator rights) and VPN software. I need to share a HP laserjet 3030 3n1 printer.
In reading these and other forums, my choices seem to be:
1. buy Airport Extreme base station for easy connect to the imac, and more difficult connection to both Dells, particularly since I can't install Bonjour on the business laptop, or
2. buy D-Link/Linksys wireless router and cards, set up a Windows based network, and then make the Mac connect.
Because of the mixed network, both approaches seem to have difficulties with communication, high security, reliable printing. All of these are critical for the business computer.
Any suggestions on the more likely route to success?
Cable modem is a 4 yr old Toshiba with 10baseT. What happens when this is connected to a Gigabit router? should I also plan to upgrade the modem?
Thanks

Hello umpire318. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Based on your requirements, it appears that the Dell laptop will be the deciding factor to which router you should go with. Since you will need to make administrative changes to the Dell in order to configure it to work with the AirPorts, you're most likely have "less hassles" going with a non-AirPort router.

Programming and Network Information Needs for my Wireless Network

I am looking for a solution to two objectives for my router (currently the airport extreme within my time capsule):
1. Is there software that, in plan english, will give me a list of the computers and devices that are on using my router and that will provide me with a list of websites visited? Most of what I can find is highly technical in the information.
2. I'd like to simply shut down the wireless from time to time in our house and currently the only approach I can think of is to unplug the ethernet cable that connects the time capsule to my cable modem. Is there a software program that provides a simple on/off button or, even better, that can shut the thing off for preprogramed periods of time? Freedom is a great program for individual computers in this way, and I am looking for something that works for the entire router.
Thanks!

Gibson123, Welcome to the discussion area!
You really need to get a router which has these capabilities instead of using the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

Suggestions for Cable Modem and Wireless Router

Hey everyone!
I have the new iMac and would like to have a faster wireless router. Currently using an old D-Link Wireless G router and would like something like the Time Capsule (as it has Airport Extreme in it) or Netgear Rangemax Dual Band Wirless-N Gigabit Router. My problem is, my Internet is through my cable company, so it comes into the house as a cable connection. It appears that these two combos would still require the use of a cable modem.
Any suggestions to keep the equipment down to one piece? If not, any suggestions for a cable modem so I can return this old one to the cable company?
What would be the best/quickest wireless router?
Thanks for your help!

Go to your ISP's web site and do a search from your ISP for compatible cable modems. Then buy the capable modem your ISP says that is comp[atible. On the new cable modem find the Serial number & MAC address, make then call your ISP tech help desk and tell them the new modem you got and he/she will ask you that information. When the ISP tech says they can see/ping that new cable modem then it will work. Then connect a new cheaper Airport Extreme and any external USB2 hard drive to connect to that new Airport Extreme. I say this because Apple put out and Update a little while ago that will allow an external connected to an Extreme as a Time Machine disk.
PS: Remember the old trick of checking you Ethernet cables. I can't count how times I have seen professionals install all new high speed switches, routers, etc. and wonder why no speed is seen. Then after numerous trouble shooting they discover they used the old 10 Base T cables and just changing the cable solved their problem.
Just make sure you do this one at a time starting with getting the ISP compatible cable modems list to know what cable modem you can buy (to save that monthly ISP rental fee). Then you can get the going as long as so speak with your ISP tech to give them that new cable modem Serial number and MAC address so they can register it with their servers.
This will be to easy as long as you do things in step.

Firewall and wireless router

I have searched everywhere and I can't find the awnser. How does my firewall setting in any computer on my wireless network effect what can go thru my router (wrt54g)? Specifically, I have a wvc54gc camera that I can't connect to from outside of my network. All of the forums say that maybe my firewall settings are not letting me to connect to my camera. I am using dyndns and they say that everything on there end is working fine. I am confused because when my computer is shut down , there is no firewall anywhere.   Thanks in advanced.

Your camera connects directly to your router.   Any software firewall on any of the computers on your LAN will have no effect on the camera.
It is conceivable that firewall settings on the computer that is trying to connect to your camera from the Internet, might be blocking your camera's signal. To test for this, simply disable the firewall in the computer that is trying to connect to your camera from the Internet (note: be sure to use a router when you do this).
To access your camera from a computer on the Internet, you will need to assign it a fixed LAN IP address, and a port, and you will need to forward that port to the camera.
The first thing that I noticed is that the default LAN IP address of the camera is 192.168.1.115.   This is very odd, because this is an illegal fixed LAN IP address on almost all Linksys routers. Normally a fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range. In the camera setup pages, set the camera to use a fixed (static) LAN IP address (not a DHCP address), and set that address to 192.168.1.15. (If camera setup asks, set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0 , and set "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 , and set "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1 (I assume that this is the address of your WRT54G)).   (Note: If this still does not work, try setting the "DNS server" to your true Internet DNS address, which can be found in the WRT54G)
Next, you need to assign the camera a port. This needs to be assigned both in the router and in the cameras setup pages. I am uncertain as to what port to advise you to use.   However, in the router, use "Port Forwarding", and forward that port to the 192.168.1.15 address. Also, in the camera setup pages, you will need to tell the camera that it is using that same port.
Hope this helps.

Netbook and Wireless Router

I am a bit technology-challenged, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. I have a Toshiba Mini NB255-N245. Can I simply purchase a wireless router; hook it up to my cable modem; and I'm "good to go?" With another laptop, I had to install the router using a disc that came with it, but the netbook does not have a disc drive. In short, will the netbook automatically recognize the router? Many thanks for your help.
Solved!

You won't need to use the disc in order to set up the router.
But you will need to connect to it using an Ethernet cable and follow instructions in the router's booklet to set it up manually.

Looking for a wireless router/modem that we can configure here, and then just take with us, plug into a wall somewhere, and have the capacity for an event. In past events we've used the same off-the-shelf wireless routers that we have in the office now, but they start to choke and die at around 40 people. The events are 50-100 people; capacity to 200 would be great.
Assume the wired connection is good enough to handle it.
I'm not sure if the Cisco SMB will have something similar, but maybe even I have to go towards the Enterprise portfolio.
Any suggestions?

The events are 50-100 people; capacity to 200 would be great.
Cisco Enterprise wireless portfolio are the 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, 3500i/e model WAP. You'll may need a WLC if you use the 3500i/e. Cisco recommends no more than 25 users associated to an AP. So for about 200 people, you'll need about 8 APs spread apart.
You can start by going to the website: www.cisco.com/go/wireless.

Whic wireless router best for Mac

Hi. I am looking to connect our other Mac G4 tower to the internet via a wireless router but am unsure of which one to use.
Both G4's are running OS 10.3.9.
I have AT&T as my DSL provider.
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi, joni02. I don't know that this is the "best" option, but I recently bought a NetGear WGR614 router to replace an older wireless router that had died. Compared with the allegedly very Mac-friendly Asante unit it replaced, the NetGear router was an absolute snap to set up, with clear directions and a very simple browser-based setup interface. It also tripled the range I had had with the older router — a completely unexpected benefit.
I might add that I also bought a pair of NetGear XE102 Powerline adapters to enable my son to use his Aluminum Powerbook (which has truly pitiful wireless range with its Airport Extreme card) in his room, far away from the router. The XE102s use household electrical wiring to carry an Ethernet signal from the router to his Powerbook. This is a good alternative to wireless networking, where radio interference is a problem and the computers that need to be networked are remote from each other and mostly stationary.

Airport Time Capsule as Hard Drive and Wireless Router

Hello,
My girlfriend and I want to buy Macbooks. A Macbook Pro 128 GB and a Macbook Air 128 GB. 128GB each is not enough for our needs and are also interested in buying an Airport Time Capsule with 2 TB rather than upgrading to 256GB/512GB, which is more money for less storage space.
My question is, can we use the Airport Time Capsule as a wireless router AND as a wireless hard drive?
Will I be able to keep the Time Capsule at home working as a wireless router for my girlfriend to surf the web and at the same, if I am at the library, as a wireless hard drive via internet so I can download the files i need?
If the network is down I would like to be able to use it via cable as a wired hard drive. Is that possible?
I searched for days for an answer but I could not find a definitive answer to my question.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Liviu

My question is, can we use the Airport Time Capsule as a wireless router AND as a wireless hard drive?
Yes. The Time Capsule has a built-in hard drive and you can add additional USB hard drives (via a USB hub) to its USB port. All of these drives can be shared out and will appear in the Finder as network drives.
Will I be able to keep the Time Capsule at home working as a wireless router for my girlfriend to surf the web and at the same, if I am at the library, as a wireless hard drive via internet so I can download the files i need?
Yes, that is also possible. Please check out the following AirPort User tip for more details on how this can be set up.
If the network is down I would like to be able to use it via cable as a wired hard drive. Is that possible?
If you mean if the wireless network is down can you still access the Time Capsule's hard drive via an Ethernet connection, then the answer is yes.
