LaPastenague can you help? TC is refusing to work with existing modem/router

My home office network setup is driving me mad!  I've identified the issue - my TC is competing with my modem/router.  What I haven't been able to do is fix the problem.  I've tried setting it up as a bridge, tried turning off wireless and nothing has worked.  Are you able to help before I throw an almighty tantrum?
Here's my set up:
* Primary computer is a MacBook Air which is on wireless 24/7
* Secondary computer is a MacBook Pro, also operating on wireless
* Time capsule is used as a server of sorts, to store all our files which are then accessed via the laptops.  It's only a few months old.
* Router is also new (yes, someone sold us incompatible devices).  It's a Netgear D6200. 
* We've set up both a 5G and a 2.4G wireless network, but operate on 5G 99% of the time
* There are 2 x Airport Express in the house - one connected to the printer, one connected to the surround sound system
* There are also 2 x Apple TVs and 1 x iPhone connected to the network
Are you able to help me figure out the best setup?  I know it's possible - I just can't figure out how to do it

I presume the modems you've suggested are all compatible with my apple devices?  I read somewhere amidst your recommendations that apple doesn't play nicely with non-apple modem/routers.
Depends on brands.. Netgear is near the bottom.. overall TP-Link is pretty good.. they are certainly aware of the need to test against Apple products and special protocols, and tweak here and there to get better results.
It is important to understand though.. what I want you to do is basically turn the modem router into a dumb modem.. it will have no part in the network other than translation of ethernet packets to ATM phone networking packets. All the routing will be handled by the Apple router.
Yes, the Netgear is a wifi/DSL modem & router.  I'm using wireless on the Netgear.  I didn't turn wireless off on this device as I assumed I should be relying on that as my router given it was recommended instore.  I'll give that a go now.
Shakes head::
Never ever believe what the salesman in the store tells you. He always has one at home that works perfectly with every piece of equipment you happen to have. And it fixes warts and herpes.. and most everything.. the bottle says snake oil. Apply liberally to dumb customers.
The reason I suggest a very cheap modem.. is that it will do nothing .. except translate packets. Ethernet to ATM.. ATM to Ethernet.. completely dumb.. You can bridge the Netgear but that seems a horrible waste.. I would prefer you to return it to the store for refund.. or at worst sell it off..
Even if you need to use it as a router.. which we are still getting to.. there is no need to use its wireless.
Anyway keep in touch with how it goes.

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.

  • How can you configure a WD external to work with Time Machine??

    I have an 1TB external WD MyBook drive that is connected to my network through my Linksys wireless router and am trying to figure out how to format the drive to use with Time Machine.
    I currently use the drive to store files from both my PC and my MacBook but can't seem to select the drive to use with Time Machine. I figured that I could just format the drive through the Disk Utility program, but the drive doesn't show up in Disk Utility. This may be because it is a drive connected through my router and not directly to my MacBook?!
    Here are a few questions...
    Any ideas on how to format the drive so it will work with Time Machine?
    Once formatted to use with TM, can I still use the drive to store other files from both my Mac and PC? or do I need to partition for this??
    Is it possible to set up an automatic backup schedule that will happen via my home wireless connection?
    Thanks in advance,
    Todd.

    You cannot use the drive with TM as you have it set up. TM will not work with a networked drive except a Time Capsule or a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station (current version.)
    If you wish to use this drive for TM backups it must be connected directly to the computer. Other computers on the network can access the drive for TM backups if you turn on file sharing for the drive (select drive, press COMMAND-I, check the box labeled "Shared Folder," click on the Enable button.) The shared drive will have to be mounted on the other computers in order for them to use it as a TM backup drive.

  • How  can you avoid that an ABAB-Function works with an  EXPORT_PARAMETER

    Hello everybody,
    I have to call the ABAP-Function ECATT_EXECUTE via JCO.
    In SAP 7.0 there is a new EXPORT_PARAMETER for the function ECATT_EXECUTE, which is called E_RESULT_XML.
    There is a statement "IF E_RESULT_XML is requested" which gives always TRUE, so that the function tried to fill this Parmeter and an error occurred while processing.
    How you can avoid this ?
    What you can do, that this IF-Statement gives FALSE ?
    Every helpful hint is welcome !

    Hi Klaus,
    It may be because when calling a function via JCO all import/export/table parameters are always passed with the call.  Have you tried running the function from a test ABAP program and NOT requesting the parameter E_RESULT_XML?  If that works ok, the simple solution is to create a custom wrapper function module that you can call from JCO, which will call ECATT_EXECUTE for you ignoring E_RESULT_XML and then return the results to your Java.
    Hope this helps,
    Gareth.

  • Why can you reveal and dock panels when working with new blur filters ?

    Hi all,
    It's purely an academic question, but I've been working through the new CS6 blur Filters and I notice you can customise the UI Panel layout as you would with the main Panels in Photoshop. I notice that you can also reveal and add any other Photoshop Panels from the Window menu, though they're non functional.
    Is there any significance behind this, beyond providing a slightly different UI layout ?
    As an aside, I'm liking many of the new features, but like others have noted, I'm finding the Adjustments Panel now pretty redundant and have reverted to the pre-CS4 way of creating Adjustment Layers - from the menu at the bottom of the Layers Panel.
    Thanks

    I noticed that too.  It appears the Photoshop engineers have sort of repurposed the named Workspace layout process during the execution of certain filters.
    I can see that this has both good aspects and bad.  Personally, if Adobe is going to change everything around entirely, I think I would personally prefer a "filter" (plug-in) style dialog.  I really dislike things that change.  In my case, I normally edit with images on my left monitor and all the panels on my right.  But for filter/plug-in dialogs, I put them on the right monitor.  If nothing else, it gives me an at-a-glance "before" version of the image to look at, and in some cases the filters actually update the overall image, so I can be looking at the plug-in dialog at high magnification and also see what the filter has done to the image overall.
    Maybe with one monitor the new approach is better, I don't know.  The way I work I'm not too fond of it.

  • HT204384 my sd slot card of my mac don't work . i don't know why! can you help me

    my sd slot card of my mac don't work . i don't know why! can you help me

    If it doesn't work with any sd card you insert into it then you can try a smc reset and a pram reset but if that doesn't work then the slot has failed. the only way to get that fixed is to replace the main circuit board, the logic board, which is very expensive. That is unless your mac still has a warranty on it then it would be free.
    If you have no more warranty then just buy a sd card reader that connects to the computer by usb port.

  • HT5622 I bougt some game, but don't arive in my applications, can you help me?

    I bought some game, but this game don't arive in my iphone, can you help me?

    Is it compatible with your iPhone e.g. it's not an iPad-only app ? If it is compatible then does it show in the Purchased tab (via the 'Updates' tab) in the App Store app on your phone ? If it has 'open' against it then it's somewhere on your phone, in which case if you've just bought it then it might be on your last homescreen - though there is a limit of 11 visible homescreens, if it's on the 12th then you can use the phone's spotlight search screen to search for it and open it.

    I use the operating system Mac os x 10.10.2 and would like me like to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 am with but not sure because is specified in the system requirement only os x 10.9. Can you help me?

    Yes, it works. Download the trial and see for yourself. Adobe never updates the system requirements after any version is released, so that is what was available last Sept. when PSE 13 was released.

    Also you need to do something better with your activatable references than just bind them. You need to serialize them to a file so that you can restart the system without redoing the registration.
