Looking for e4200 range extender options?

I'm using the e4200 in a big old house with lots of walls, including rooms separated with brick. Wiring access points would be difficult given the problem of pulling wires. I do have lots of kids and devices connected including DirecTv, iphones, ipads, laptops, and PS3.
Is there a range extender that someone might recommend? Do I care if an extender only supports 2.4Mhz if I use the same SSID anyway?
Other suggestions?
Thanks for your input!

It looks like the AV500 is a Belkin which is one of the majors. I'm using the 200 series Trendnet, I know Trendnet was fairly quick to move on to the 500 series and I think the Cisco units were recently reviewed at www.smallnetbuilder.com
But the wiring and set up is important in determining if the powerline will work for you. One Item that I always thought odd with the trendnet's is they specifically state that you will not be able to use the units plugged into a UPS or even surge protector (the filters affect the ability for the units to synch with each other).
Good Luck hope you can find one that works for you.
One other note in the 200 series day there were two different types (Trendnet use one type and D-link used a different) off hand I don't recall which type Belkin used.

Range extending options for ibook?

I've been spending a lot of time at an office in Brooklyn that has excellent wifi reception - by the window. However, 20 feet away, at my desk, the reception stinks.
So my question is, what's the best way to get the reception by the window over to my desk? Right now, I'm thinking of using an external antenna and a long cable, but I'm open to anything. (Does anyone know if a long cable is a problem?)
I have an ibook, btw, so hooking up the external antenna will require a slight mod, but I think it'll be worth it. I can't stand carrying it back and forth to the window anymore.
Any suggestions, urls, etc., would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,
William

You might want to check out the following Apple article that describes causes/solutions for WiFi interference. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58543)
An external antenna, as you already pointed out, would be another option. (ref: http://www.quickertek.com/transceivers.php)

Looking for "label" in view options

This seems like such a no-brainer that I must be missing something, but is there no way to have "label" as one of the view options? For a lot of music, particularly older stuff, or 50's and 60's soul stuff, even modern indie, really everything, being able to sort by label (record label) should be an everyday option.
Maybe I want to listen to just Dial records today, or King, or Fame, or Norton or Ace...
Can this feature be added, post-haste? Or have I missed it?

Personally, I never think about the record label and can't understand why it would matter. But that's just me.
You can have more than one thing in the comments field and still use Smart Playlists to select items that have the name of the record label in the comments field.
You might want to submit your suggestions to Apple:

Best of luck.

Looking For 2009 Xserve SSD Option Parts

I just purchased a "new" fully loaded 2009 Xserve that has everything except the SSD option and I need it. Anybody here have a source for the 3 parts besides eBay and Amazon? The part numbers are...
661-5067 (SSD)
992-8958 (SSD Cable)
992-8959 (SSD Bracket)
Thanks,
Chuck

Chris,
Have you used Impact before? I have attempted to order these parts from 2 vendors now who have advertised them as "in stock" only to have them subsequently cancel my order after putting holds on my bank account funds because they didn't really have the parts to begin with. Apparently it's accepted behavior to advertise the entirety of Apple's part catalog and hope somebody will order something, whether you have the things you have advertised or not. The picture Impact has posted of the drive isn't even close to the specs of the real drive, so I'm suspicious.
After the 2 disappointments, I went ahead and bought the cable from an eBay vendor and I bought the exact same Samsung drive but without the Apple logo, also from an eBay vendor. I got the drive today and the cable should arrive tomorrow. If it all works, I'll go after the bracket next week.
I'll post the results.
Thanks,
Chuck

W7 64 Home: Task Scheduler looking for remote computer, can't defrag.

Needed to defragment HD, went to task scheduler, found that it is looking for a remote computer and options to schedule tasks are grayed out.
The option in the right panel for the local computer was selected (there are no "apply" buttons or such). Closed Task Scheduler, reopened, found that it is still looking for a remote computer, options to schedule tasks still grayed out.
Logged in as Admin. Not on a network.
Thank you

In Windows 7, Disk Defragmenter runs at regular intervals when your computer is turned on, so you don't have to remember to run it. It's scheduled to run once a week at an early hour in the morning. However, you can change how often Disk Defragmenter runs,
and at what time of the day.
Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Start button .
In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click Disk
Defragmenter.‌ If you're
prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Configure schedule, and then do one of the following:
To change how often Disk Defragmenter runs, click the menu next to Frequency, and then click Daily, Weekly,
orMonthly.
If you set the frequency to Weekly or Monthly,
click the menu next to Day to choose the day of the week or month that you want Disk Defragmenter to run.
To change the time of day when Disk Defragmenter runs, click the menu next to Time, and then choose a time.
To change the volumes that are scheduled to be defragmented, click Select disks, and then follow the instructions.
Click OK.

RE2000 N300 Range Extender

hello,
My Internet provider is Bell, fiber optic with TV and phone. There is one room where the signal is week so I purchased a Range Extender (Linksys Wireless-N Range Extender, N300 Dual Band). For the last three months everything was working fine until last week when I woke up to no Internet. I did a few reboots on the router and nothing worked. I then remembered that I had an Extender so I unplugged it and then my Internet came back. I tried and tried to reinstall the Extender but without success and when I thought it was going to work, it would erase all the information on the router. I would have to call Bell over and over again to get them to reprogram the router. I called Linksys support and they couldn`t get it to work either. I exchange the Extender for new one but I get the same result

Hi Gerarld,
This can be caused by an interference. Try changing the wireless channel of your router to avoid some conflict. For the Range Extender try to do another reset again. Make sure that the firmware of the Range Extender is up to date. You may also do the following steps:
1. Press and hold the reset button until the power light blinks
2. Hardwired the computer to the router
3. If you are using a laptop, disabled the wireless adapter or turn off the wireless switch
4. Open a browser (Chrome, Firefox or IE)
5. Type 192.168.1.1 or refer to this LINK on how to manually configure it
6. Once done configuring the range extender, check if you can get online wired to it. If you can, that means it is already communicating to the router.

HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2. But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work. What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good. Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension. Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express. But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet. Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it. I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty. I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

I finally got it working. I was trying to set it up ethernet. My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode. So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'. Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it. So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
So here's the weird part. When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options. One would be 'ethernet' extended. So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem. This is when I got frustrated. I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options. One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was). And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful. I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from. It will work if only 3 options come up. And success if only verified by the big checkmark. Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it. Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with. It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
Thanks for the response. I really do appreciate it.
Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
- configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
Using Airport 5.6.1
1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
2) Following restart, Select Continue
3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
- if 4 options are present, may not work
4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger. The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
Thanks again.

Range extender for Cisco M20?

Hi,
I have a customer with a very large house and another building. The other building is connected by ethernet to the house.
I installed a Cisco M20 in the house (downstairs room) and put another M20 in the other building, turning off DHCP so it works as an AP only.
The upstairs of the house has a very low signal so I purchased a Linksys E2000 (found the M20 is no longer for sale) and went to install tonight as a 3rd AP and found the upstairs where he thought there were ethernet jacks are just phone jacks.
I'd like to put a range extender upstairs but it looks like Linksys/Cisco does not make one that supports N? Any recommendations? I see other companies make them. I guess I could just buy a G.
Thanks

You already have E2000 as a seconds wireless access point. So I think you can connect WET610N to the E2000 and let WET to pick up wireless signal from the main router.
Main router ==> wireless <== WET610N + E2000.
Or you can try WAP4410N which has a repeater mode.

HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Arup

This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.
