Is it possible to make Multiple Broadband connecti...

Hi
I have been using BT broadband for some years using a BT Homehub 1.5.  
My Freesat box is plugged in to my Homehub, so that I can reliably get BBC iPlayer on the main household TV, so I am unable to move the hub to improve wireless reception elsewhere in the house. 
The wireless connection in most of the house is OK, but in one room the reliability is poor and often signal strength shows as low. There is a phone line in this room and I was wondering whether it is possible to make a connection to this line using either a separate modem (Speedtouch 330), or a second hub.
If this is a possible solution then the computer connected to the new modem would affectively be a wired connection, leaving the wireless option still available to the homehub. Both the new modem and the homehub would need to be able to access my BT Broadband account.
If this is technically not possible I seem to have options of using an ethernet connection from the 'poor reception' room to my hub (not really practical as the house has solid floors and routing the cable would be a nightmare), or perhaps upgrading my hub (and wireless dongle) to a later version. Any advice would be very welcome.
thanks

Hi,
this looks good.
Would it be worth upgrading the hub and dongles at the same time or is this overkill
MalcDu
No, I would strongly advise that you keep using the home hub 1.5, as in my opinion, the version 1.0 and 1.5 are the most stable of the home hubs, and do not have some of the problems of the later versions.
If you want to add extra wireless coverage, then an additional wireless access point is the best option, connected to the far end of the powerline adapters.

  • Is it possible to make a broadband connection in iOS for ipad?

    Hi, is it possible to make a broadband connection on iPad using iOS 6.1.3 ?
    As I had this problem in my apple devices, I searched a lot and finally I found out how to make a broadband connection like what what we do on widows 7 or windows 8 on Mac OS X mountain Lion, but I still can't make it on iPad, I just want to know if it's possible.
    Thanks.

    For example, in the university where I study in order to use wi-Fi you are given a user name and a pass word first you connect to the Wi-Fi but you won't have access to the Internet if you just try to connect to the Wi-Fi after that you have to connect to the broadband you've made in your PC with that username and password, this is what I mean. Of course I have used Wi-Fi this way on windows and Mac but not in iOS.

  • Is possible to make Serializable a Connection object?

    Hi I would like to know if is possible to make Serializable a Connection Object, I would like to save the Connection object into a text file so other class can read it and execute a proper query. If is possible how can I do it?.
    Thanks.

    Actually, if a class isn't already Serializable, you can't make it become Serializable reliably. Consider the following case:
    class A
        int x = 0;
        public void setX(int new_x) { x = new_x; }
        public int getX() { return x; }
    class B extends A implements Serializable
        int y = 0;
        public void setY(int new_y) { y = new_y; }
        public int getY() { return y; }
    public static void main(String arg[]) throws Exception
        B b = new B();
        b.setX(10);
        b.setY(12);
        someObjectOutputStream.writeObject(b);
    }The problem with this is that the implementation of Serializable by class B does not affect class A. In the above example, the ObjectInputStream that obtains the instance of B will have a y value of 12, but an x value of 0 (not 10).
    Thus, unless the Connection object implemented Serializable to begin with, it can't become Serializable. And, as the above post has described, the implementers of the Connection object would not make it Serializable as the local Connection object uses underlying O/S resources which cannot simply be transformed into a byte array.

  • How To make/configure  Broadband connection in Sun java desktop system

    Hi all,
    I am using sun java desktop system Release 3 solaris 10 version in my sun ultra workstation. I have a problem with it. I can not make broadband connection , in it. so pls let me know how can i make broadband connection with my ADSL modem ?
    Thanks

    Try this:
    Log into a termina as rootl. (Select failsafe terminal or command login)
    To get the name of your network interface driver, type:
    /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a You'll see something like this:
    lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
    hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
    inet 129.156.226.245 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 129.156.226.255
    In my case it is hme0 so I create a file called /etc/dhcp.hme0:
    touch /etc/dhcp.hme0If you want to set a hostname, put it in a file called /etc/hostname.hme0 for example:
    rm /etc/hostname.hme0
    echo myhostname > /etc/hostname.hme0Most broadband providers preconfigure ADSL modems to default to DHCP so if you do this, connect the ultra 10 to the broadband modem and reboot, the ultra 10 should pick up an IP address and be connected to the internet.

  • Is it possible to make multiple playlists and set itunes so that it will not let you add a song to more than one playlist?

    I have a veryl large Itune library and want to make multiple playlists so that for example when driving long hours in the car I can change to another playlist and not have songs repeated.  I do realize if I noted down every song that was put in a playlist I would be able to accomplish this but it would be nice if there was some setting that I am unaware of that would keep track of this for me.  Any suggestions?

    To Clearify  for example I am wondering if their is a setting so that Itunes won't let me add a song to playlist A if it is alread on playlist B.  Any Suggestions?

  • Is it possible to make multiple subclips with overlap markers at one go ?

    I know to make subclips, we use MODIFY > MAKE SUBCLIPS but how do I do the following:
    Let's say I have captured some 20 mins of clips from my video camera & named this clip as MainClip in the the browser.
    When I double click MainClip in the browser, it will appear in the Viewer.
    _QUESTION 1:_
    How do I get 4 subclips from this with the following requirement:
    Subclip1: 2nd min to 3rd min
    Subclip2: 5th min to 6th min
    Subclip3: 8th min to 9th min
    Subclip4: 10th min to 12th min.
    How do I place In-point at 2nd, 5th, 8th & 10th min and Out-Point at 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th min ? How do I do it in one-go ?
    _QUESTION 2:_
    How do I get 4 subclips if the segments I want are overlap, for example if I want to create subclips having the following requirements:
    Subclip1: 2nd min to 3rd min
    Subclip2: 2.5th min to 6th min
    Subclip3: 5th min to 9th min
    Subclip4: 8th min to 12th min.
    NB: the In-point for subclip2 are now overlap and is in between the In-point and Out-Point of subclip1 (ie 2.5th min is in bewteen 2nd and 3rd min)

    Can I know what is the menu equivalent of Cmd-U ?
    Question 2: You cannot use the marker technique described above, you have to use In and Out points. You can't do this in one step.
    If I understand you correctly, what you are trying to say is the "press Cmd-U, mark new I/O, and press Cmd-U again" method will work even if the the clip overlap bcos everytime a Cmd-U is being pressed, a new set of I/O is being activated ?

  • Multiple http connection

    is it possible for me to make multiple http connection to server?
    I'm trying to send data for about 40kb, i send the data into 80 parts ( a part about 500 bytes)..
    is it possible to make about 80 thread in the same time??
    I do this way to reduce time consumption...
    Help me please..

    No, in this case, more threads will most likely slow down the data transfer:
    - more threads means more TCP connections, means more overhead
    - CPU scheduling will make it slower than using one thread, they can't work symultanious anyway
    - One thread is probably already capable of fully filling the network bandwidth with data

  • Is it possible to make connection for the VC application the SQL Server

    hi
    I have requirement like, We have some data available in SQL server as central repositoty. My client want to make the Anylatics application like showing graphs in VC based on the data available in SQL server.
    My question. Is there any possiblity to make the connection the sql server by creating some system object using some JDBC connection Like that.
    What is the possibility.
    can u any body tell what is the work around need to be for this requirement. Whether it is possible or not.
    Regards
    vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    In your other thread, I have given the link to the following doc which will help you to in configuring the JDBC Connector.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10
    That was the first step.
    In the second step, you need to create a JDBC System in the portal. Go through the following doc which explains how to create BI JDBC system for VC. All you need to change is that on Page 10, choose JDBC system instead of BI JDBC system, and do the necessary configurations.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6209b52e-0401-0010-6a9f-d40ec3a09424
    As rightly said by Marcel, you can use stored procedures as well as SQL statements. As far as stored procedures are concerned, all you need to do is go to Enterprise Manager, and create procedures in your database in the same way by which you create new tables and users (Refer my article). Then you can use these procedures in your Visual Composer provided you have properly created the JDBC system in portal properly.
    Also have a look at the following doc:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6339e7d4-0a01-0010-1c98-db00e52e989a

  • Is it possible to make MIRO against multiple documents???

    Dear experts ,
    Is it possible to make an invoice verification against multiple delivery notes / or multiple POs??
    Pls let ma  know
    Thanks & regards
    Anis

    HI,
    It is possible with Multiple allocation criteria in MIRO, but be sure multiple documents should possess the same vendor in the Purchase orders.
    Also it is really not advisable as because after posting if you found or want to rectify an error wrt to a single PO you need to cancel the Invoice document which will result in cancelling the document for the entire PO's listed and after correction you need to repeat the process again which will be a real cumbersome process.

  • How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

    Good morning everybody,
    I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
    What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
    What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
    1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
    show authentication sessions:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac   dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
    What I want to get is an output like this:
    Interface  MAC Address     Method   Domain   Status         Session ID          
    Fa0/23     0021.9b62.b79b  dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
    Fa0/23     b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x    DATA     Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
    Fa0/23     0015.655c.b912  dot1x    VOICE    Authz Success  C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
    I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
    The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
    interface FastEthernet0/x                                                      
     description Connection to DUMBswitch                                            
     switchport mode access                                                         
     switchport voice vlan XXX                                                      
     switchport port-security maximum 10                                            
     switchport port-security                                                       
     switchport port-security violation protect                                     
     authentication host-mode multi-auth                                            
     authentication priority dot1x                                                  
     authentication port-control auto                                               
     authentication timer reauthenticate 4000                                       
     authentication violation replace                                               
     dot1x pae authenticator                                                        
     dot1x timeout tx-period 10                                                     
     spanning-tree portfast                                                         
    The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
    - PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
    - When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
    Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
    Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
    Thank you
    Stoimen Hristov

    Hi Stoimen,
    I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
    From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
    1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
    2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
    Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

  • Home hub 3, broadband connection dropping

    Hi, just a few days ago I recived my new home hub 3. The reason I wanted the upgrade from the hub 1 is because the broadband connection would drop and also the old hub would reset it self constantly.
    The new hub is much better in terms of not resetting itself, if i try and watch something on 4od etc, youtube, it feels like any stress and the braodband connection drops, I had this on the old hub but it feels like its happening more now.
    So much so I decided to make a paint version of my wiring so someone can maybe help me out.
    http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r173/guysy1110/​routerproblem.png
    Sorry the paint image came out much smaller than I wanted.
    The main phone line is dowstairs in the lounge, its split into 2 using a 2 way splitter, one goes to the main phone which has a microfilter attached, the other plug leads up to the spare room and there a phone box (sorry not sure what its called) is in place, this box was split into another one because a long time ago there was a router that lived in the spare room (the split box is unused). Probably confusing people now, but the main box upstairs in the spare room is extended into my room and then a microfilter is used and then goes into the hub.
    The extension cable is FAR too long, possibly 10m of cable wound up and tucked behind the drawers. Could this be a problem? I guess so.
    So my main questions are, if both the router and main phone have new microfilters on, what other causes could keep my router dropping the broadband connection? the extension into my room is FAR too long possibly 10m which is wound up behind my drawers, first off im going to get a shorter cable. 
    Also the microfilter is closest to the hub, would it be better at the first source downstairs, or even in the spare room?
    Any suggestions would be great. thanks.

    Im reviving this thread, so far from the phone box upstairs Ive shortened the cable, It still goes into my room but now instead of having a ridiculous 15m amount of calbing unused Its a straight 3m from the other room to mine.
    This has slightly improoved things.
    However the hub still suffers and drops the broadband connection when under "stress" when the phone rings it sometimes drops, and when downloading files it drops halfway through if the file is large which is a massive pain.
    On the downstairs master socket I removed the facia and did a quiet line test on the inside socket, there was no noise. I used a corded phone. I wasnt sure if it mattered but I tested all other sockets using this method and none had any noise.
    I phoned BT and was advised to take the hub closest to the master socket, but if i do this I have no wireless card in my PC so cannot connect, The obvious option is to get a wireless card but that will cost money. As will buying the power lines.
    Any suggestions? I guess plugging the hub in downstairs and trying to connect to something is the best option.
    Any advice please?
