Limit on devices that can be connected?

We just got FIOS installed a few weeks ago. 3 STBs are connected, 1 Blackberry (as wireless device), 1 laptop (wireless), 1 desktop (wireless, but shows as ethernet in MyNetwork status), 1 DSi (wireless, but shows as ethernet).
Now I am trying to connect an additional laptop with wireless card and it won't show in MyNetwork. If I do ipconfig on the laptop I see the IP address that I assigned (192.168.1.50), but I cannot ping the router or any other device on the network.
Is there a maximum number of connections allowed on the router?  Why don't I see the added laptop? And why do 2 wireless devices show as ethernet vs. wireless?
Thank you for your help.

You shouldn't be assigning ip addresses to your devices as they are being assigned by dhcp from the router.  If you are going to assign your own fxed ip addresses you should make sure to exclude those addresses from the dhcp server assigned range on the router.  You should also be aware that the router reserves a range of addresses for the STBs.
If you're assigning an ip address because the laptop isn't aquiring an address from the router it means that the laptop isn't seeing the router, either there is not enough signal, the wifi nic is misconfigured or the key you used is incorrect.

  • What is the maximum number of devices that can be connected with FaceTime?

    I have tried to find in theh Apple web pages the maximum number of devices that one can connect to with FaceTime. Specifically, how many iPad2 or iPad (new) devices can connect to each other with FaceTime? What about an older iMac running Mountain Lion with iPads? Or, iPhone4s and iPads? Thanks for any information you can provide.

    I don't know of any limit, as long as each device has its own individual identification ( e-mail address, or phone number for iphones)

  • Number of USB devices that can be connected

    Hi,
    On my MacBook Pro (just before the unibody and all USB ports on the same side), I have connected:
    1- on the left USB port a 1 TB external HD
    2- on the right USB a USB hub with 4 ports:
    2-1- a 320 GB HD used for TimeMachine
    2-2- a DVD drive
    2-3- a printer
    2-4- a mighty mouse
    Sometimes the Mac doesn't detect the RIGHT side group, I have to disconnect and reconnect the hub up to three times to get my devices recognized by OS X: is this normal? is there a maximum of devices a MacBook Pro can handle?
    Thanks
    Replaced left by right of course, thanks Limnos

    HI,
    Try Resetting the PRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the SMC
    If that doesn't help either, run the Apple Hardware Test just in case.

    Actually, that is for devices that have been set to automatically download or you have used to redownload previously purchased items.
    They will show until you delete them.

  • My iPod was stolen today around 12 o'clock today and I don't have a device that can help me tract it so please app can you locate my iPod please. Where I had it last before someone stole it from me was somewhere around Compton but not there. Email or call

    Apple hi my ipo was stolen today and I had it or 4 to 5 years I jut or new music on it and I didn't sync it to my conputer in a long time so I won't have slot of things please if you can lock it and tell them the their to cally number or activation location for my because I don't have a backup new device that can help me sorry if there are slot of mistakes back connection oh and if you could report in in for me a lock it or what not.  Also if you can save my things then delete it from that device so they don't do anything that I can't take back thank you and please help me. Oh and the iPod is a 4th generation iPod if they are trying to sell it with a purple case it crashes alot and I have cloud on it. My personal info and pics are in it and they are probably gonna blakmail me eventhough I don't know them please report this in for me. 

    If you have a iCloud account set up you may be able to disable it, I'm not entirely sure about the earlier iPods. Even a poor thief will have already changed your settings. You can report it as stolen and change all passwords associated with this iPod to prevent a thief from accessing your accounts, computer, etc. As for the blackmail stuff, be careful what you have on your devices! Nothing is that secure. Good luck.

  • Is apple tv the only item that can be connected to a tv for airplay to work?  Looking for something smaller for the office

    Is apple tv the only item that can be connected to a tv for airplay to work?  Looking for something smaller for the office

    How big do you believe an ATV is?  They are tiny compared to most devices.
    The ATV is the only AirPlay receiver, short of an actual AV receiver with AirPlay support, but those are MUCH larger.

  • Maximum number of CAT3560's that can be connected

    What is the maximum number of Cat 3560 switches that can be connected together. Using all Fiber ports the max number would be 5, does this series of switch have a design limitation on how many can be connected together?

    you could theoretically connect a switch to every port of the 3560.
    this may not be best design for STP and broadcast domain purposes but would be possible. (depending on what you're trying to accomplish)
    do you mean how many max daisy-chained one after the other??

  • Why I couldn't buy items in games, even thought I filled all of information in Payment. When I bought "gems" in Clash of Clan, it said that " can not connect with itunes store". Someone help me, please!

    Whenever I buy something in game, it says that " can not connect to itunes store". Why???? I fill all my payment information in app Store, bt I couldnt buy any thing. Why???

    Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/  When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin.  Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here.  In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D
