  • Which home hub gives the best wireless connection?

    Hello, I have the old home hub 1.0 (BT Total broadband option 3) and I am thinking about a wireless connection. Apparantly this home hub does have wireless ability but do the more recent hubs allow a better wireless connection?
    Thanks
    Adam

    The HH1 is fine, it really depends on what range you expect, as all of the home hubs have the same power output.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Has anybody solved the slow wireless connections speeds of the new Imacs

    I have just purchased the new imac...and was made aware of the disastrous connections speeds using wireless.. Does anybody know if apple have come up with a solution...or are they just not dealing with the problem?

    I am a brand new Mac user with a new 24 inch iMac purchase. Macs are supposed to be hassle free right? Right. No question I was about ready to throw it out the window because the wireless connection to the expensive AP base station was, oh, 100x slower than my Dell laptop side by side about 1 foot away. Nothing changed even if I connected directly to the AP using an ethernet cable. My connection consists of an Actiontec DSL gateway connected directly to my AP extreme that allows wireless to my PC laptop as well as my new iMac. Hours and hours go by until I find this help link on Mac Orchard Forums:

  • Is the iPad wireless connection safe for someone with a pacemaker?

    A friend of mine wants to purchase an iPad, but is worried that the wireless connection might interfere with her heart pacemaker.
    Normally, with other devices,  she disables their wireless interface and uses a wired connection instead, to avoid the risk.
    As I understand it, the iPad cannot be connected to the internet with a wire, only via a wireless link. Is that so?
    If a wireless connection must be used, do you have any recommendations for users with pacemakers, please?
    Many thanks.

    I believe you can connect it to a mac via usb and use the internet through the usb cable. That would defeat the purpose of it being mobile though. Like the others said I would consult a doctor and see if the wifi signals will have any effect. If she uses a cell phone those put out way more power than a typical wifi connection. That is why wifi uses less battery power than 3G
    No, actually you can't. The iPad is a mobile,device with no way to connect via USB other than to synch to iTunes.
    As previously suggested, the OP should advise the friend to consult her physician or the pacemaker manufacturer. However, considering that encountering radio waves of the type used for wireless network connections is COMPLETELY unavoidable is the friend has any mobility at all, I have difficulty thinking it would be an issue or a needed precaution. A quick Google search indicates a pacemaker is NOT adversely affected by wireless networks.

  • After the upgrade to the new firmware, time capsule disconnect the imac (wireless connection by airport) after few seconds. NEED HELP!

    I have:
    imac 24" (year 2008) OsX 10.6.8.
    Time Capsule  (year 2010) 2Tb.
    Wireles connectio by Airport v5.6.1
    Problem:
    Since the last firmware update of the time capsule, the connection is lost after a few seconds.
    Note: a windows 7 pc is connected to the time capsule too, without problems!
    Can someone help me, please!

    Go back to 7.6.1 at least.. do not use 7.6.3 firmware.. as it has wireless issues.
    You go back by selecting firmware update with option key held down.

  • My computer and phone both can not find the airport wireless connection even though the status light is green whats going on?

    I have cox as my internet provider and the last couple weeks i have been having a ton of connection problems. The status light on my airport express is green but my computer is saying the connection is timing out and my phone is having issues connecting to the internet even though it says it is still connected to my wireless network. is it my airport express or something else?

    Manually mount the TC in the computer..
    In finder use Go/Connect to server.
    Type in the name of the TC or its IP address.. I recommend you use all names of SMB standard.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric. That will give you much less trouble.
    So AFP://TCname.local (where you use the TCname replaced with the actual network name of the TC. local is the domain by default.
    You can use alternative AFP://TCIPaddress like AFP://10.0.1.1 (default IP of TC as router). This is only useful when the TC has a static IP.
    Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local in all the network adapters in the computer and the TC.
    Then go to TM preferences and you should see the TC listed as a possible target for TM.
    Read Pondini for other issues.

  • Nokia 5800 - Loses the wireless connection

    Hello.
    I have a Nokia 5800 cellphone from a week ago.
    I have a problem with the WIFI (Wireless connection).
    If I connect to a WIFI, in approximately 5 minutes the connection hangs, losing the connection. It seems random hangs.
    It happens in all applications, and I have to connect again.
    I tried with several different connections (WIFIs), and the same result.
    Sometimes it stays connected longer, but generally falls.
    Anybody know it can be, and the solution?
    Thank you very much.

    I have had this happen as well sitting right across from my router. Can be working fine and then all of a sudden kicks me out to the home screen. Since there is no connection failure message I have to conclude that it is a random bug, possibly with the built in browser. I have not tested this with Opera Mini yet to see if it is hardware or software related.
    If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

  • MAGIC MOUSE & WIRELESS KEYBOARD - LOST CONNECTION

    Hi guys,
    I get confused why the mouse and the wireless keyboard lost it's connection from time to time. I cannot explain it and I don't know what to do except wait for it to reconnect. It's kinda annoying. Is this an issue with the software or something?
    many thanks

    This disconnection problem seems to be a major problem with anything Apple! I have had this problem for months now, as have others and have tried everything that has been suggested in this Forum, all to no avail.
    On the assumption that may be, just may be, someone from Apple will read the myriad of problems associated with the constant disconnection of wireless products produced by/for them, they will get it sorted. But it has been going on for years it seems to me, and still there is no tangible work around or permanent fix.
    I am reaching the stage where I will be throwing my MM out the window soon along with any of the other wireless connected items I have. (Keyboard, Number Pad, MM and Track Pad.) There just does not seem to be any answer that works permanently. Never ever had this problem when I used the Windows system and am getting a wee bit miffed that I changed from Windows to Apple. The most unreliable piece of kit ever to come out of a Computer Shop!!

  • Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

    Hello,
    we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
    The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
    I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
    Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
    Any help is welcome.
    Regards,
    Michal

    The BIOS is 4.10.
    Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
    Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
    So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
    Regards,
    Michal

  • Start with the Option key down - Which port to connect the keyboard?

    When I need to start my Mac with the Option key down in order to select a boot volume, I have noticed that the system ignores the Option key press and boots into a previous boot volume if a USB keyboard is plugged into an external USB hub. That's understandable because the boot sequence may not detect the keyboard on the external USB bus fast enough for the system to recognize the Option key press.
    My Mac will always recognize the Option key press at a boot time if the USB keyboard is plugged into a USB port on the Mac.
    I want to know what if the boot sequence will detect the keyboard +soon enough+ to recognize the Option key press if the keyboard is connected to a USB port on a PCIe USB expansion card.
    If you know the answer, please let me know because, if the answer is no, I would not want to invest money into an expansion card.

    Even if it doesn't work with the card, you can plug the keyboard into a built-in port and use the card's ports for other USB devices. The total number of USB ports would be the same.

  • Losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

    Hi,
    Yesterday I purchased a 500GB Dual Band/Guest Networking Time Capsule (the newest model). The TC set up properly - I have it set up to join my wireless network and share my external HD - but during backups or streaming media from the external HD, it loses the wireless connection and stops. At this point, the TC is no longer viewable in the AirPort Utility and I have to reboot it.
    I've read other articles and threads stating that downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware version will correct problems like this, but because mine is a newer TC version, I can't do this (7.4.0 is the earliest available). Is there any way to solve the constant wireless connection loss?

    Leask, welcome to the discussions!
    The problems that you are experiencing are likely a combination of signal strength and interference from other networks and possibly cordless phones. You will need to experiment to find the best settings for your environment as there are no set rules or fixes for any given situation.
    Assuming that security settings are compatible within a network, good wireless performance depends on two main factors: adequate signal strength and lack of interference from outside sources and other networks.
    Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net, to get a look at your wireless network. The application will show you the signal strength of your network (and noise).
    If you have a laptop, move around your house to see how the signal strength at various points changes. If you find an area where the signal strength really starts to fall off rapidly, you either need to move your device closer to the broadcast point or consider purchasing an AirPort Express to "extend" the broadcast power of the Time Capsule.
    The signal strength indicator on your computer(s) or iPhone is generally not a very good indicator of the actual signal strength on your network.
    Perhaps more importantly, see if there are other networks in your area and identify what channels they are operating on. This is a primary source of interference in addition to cordless phones, microwave ovens, and some security cameras.
    If you find that there are other networks using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your network, use AirPort Utility to change the channel that Time Capsule is broadcasting on to another channel that is as far away from other channels as possible. This may be very difficult if you live in an area crowded with other networks.
    There are also features on many new wireless routers that enable a user to "hide" the network name, so it is possible that there are other wireless networks causing interference that you cannot identify.
    Your Time Capsule is capable of broadcasting a wireless signal at 5GHz, much higher than the normal crowded 2.4GHz networks. But, I'm not sure if your computer(s) are compatible with this setting. Wouldn't hurt to give this a try. A number of users have found that they have much less difficulty on the higher band since it is (for now) much less crowded.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

    I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
    My setup:
    1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
    1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
    1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
    1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
    1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
    1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
    The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
    The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
    The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
    Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
    It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
    Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
    From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
    The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
    i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
    ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
    iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
    iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
    Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
    Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
    Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
    The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
    So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
    When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
    The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
    Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
    - downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
    - turning off wireless security; no difference at all
    - changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
    - changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
    - rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
    - reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
    I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
    In other words, HELP!
    I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
    The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
    From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
    It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
    Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
    My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
    Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

    Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
    I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
    I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
    Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.
