Maximum length of cable when I connect a Linksys Wireless router to another Linksys Wireless router?
HI,
I have 2 router
1. Main router for connect to internet with ADSL connection.
2. seccond router for client in another room/floor.
I try to connect both router together with UTP cable CAT5e length 40m. so seccond router client can not to receive IP address form DHCP of main router but when I bring seccound router near main router it can do, then i want to know how long of cable can do when conect routers together?
thank you
That mean 100ft * 12inc * 2.54cm / 100cm = 30.48m. right, so that mean my cable length is so longer then I can not receive DHCP IP information from main router.
I understand correct or not?
thank you

Print not response when i connect T1100 Epson to router RT-N16 ASUS with USB port???
For my macbook pro that I brought July 2010. I can print with T1100 Epson printer connect directly to my mac but when I connect T1100 to ASUS Router RT-N16 with USB port and I assign print to T1100 pass through wireless It's not response. How do we do please ???
Many Thanks for your answer...Hello Shawnondrums,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting down when attempting to connect to the wireless network.
A very important step that gets easily over looked is, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once the printer is back on, please use the on/off button to do a proper shut down and restart. This will also do a semi power reset on the printer.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

PLEASE HELP! ETHERNET CABLE IS NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY WITH FIOS ROUTER
I recently purchased a time capsule to use in conjunction with my mac. When I am prompted to connect the ethernet cable from the lan port on my fios router to the wan port on the tc, the cable will not connect properly to the lan port on the tc. If I connect it from the lan on the fios router to the lan on the tc the green indicator lights up to indicate a connection but this does not help the wan port situation. I am able to locate the network I created from my mac but this tc network is not connected to the internet as indicated by the amber blinking light on the front of the tc. Also since creating this non working tc network, my fios signal is almost non existant! I am new to all of this so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!
Don't worry about the cable. For now.
Set the TC to bridge mode.. In bridge there is no wan port.. so you can use any port on the TC.
Test with the TC plugged in FIOS.. use in turn all the ports to see if it will work.
Do not change any setting but bridge the TC from default.. ie do not set extend wireless.. that will totally foul it up. Do not use join wireless, that will triple foul it up. Absolute default.. set TC to bridge... plug into the FIOS.. ethernet to any port that the light goes on.
Do a snapshot of the TC setup from airport utility and post. -
Maximum length of digital optical cable
Hi.
I want to connect via Toslink optical cable my imac 2013 at a external DAC. As being the maximum length of cable that I can use? 10 meters (33 ft) is ok? thanksHi Schizoid75-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
I graduated from Worthington High School way back in the day, but I do digress.
This may help: Toslink.
It looks like the maximum run will be a little better than 30 feet.

What is maximum length of CAT5e cable that HH3 can...
The wireless signal is weak in our home office in the garden so I installed a CAT5e cable to give me a LAN connection to the computer. The cable is 30 m long and I have checked the connections (from the LAN connection lead into the router to the connection lead into the computer) with a suitable meter which gave me green lights throughout. However there is no signal at the computer. I have tried all 4 connections at the HH3. I have connected my laptop into the HH3 using the same lead that connects from the hub to the socket in the wall that connects to the CAT5e cable to the office and it works fine. I take the laptop to the office and but there it says there is no signal. According to BT website a CAT5e cable can be up to 100m and phone up to 150m. I cannot find any way of contacting BT that gets me to someone who might know (I did try their "typing conversation", with someone telling me it was 10 m and then eventually admitting they did not know anything about networks!).
Is the HH3 not man enough for the job or is there something wrong with it and I need to use snail mail to write to Mr Warren Buckley to complain?Maximum cable segment length:
According to the ANSI/TIA/EIA standard for category 5e copper cable (TIA/EIA 568-5-A), the maximum length for a cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet). If longer runs are required, the use of active hardware such as a repeater or switch is necessary.
I have a cable run of 50mtrs and it works no problem from a Homehub 2.
Are you using a patch cable or a crossover cable.Cables come in two flavors, straight through, also called a patch cable and a crossover cable. Normally when you connect Ethernet stuff like connecting a PC to a hub you would use a patch cable.
If you connect two like things together, PC to PC or Hub to Hub you need a crossover cable. -
When I connect my Macbook Pro to my Dell DLP projector, either via cable or wirelessly, I just see a dark screen with the mouse and mouse trails only, can any one help?
jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times. -
I am having trouble getting my macbook to connect to my tv. When I connect my mac to the tv via VGA I have no problem. It detects it right away. I just purchased a HDMI cable because I didn't want to have to use speakers when connect to my TV and it will not detect the computer. The HDMI is a good cable because it connects our apple tv to the tv, so I know it works.
When I connect the HDMI cable to the tv and my computer, the screen on my tv flickers once and it seems like it is connected. It then flickers one more time about 5 seconds after like it disconnects.
When I use my VGA it gives me an arrangement tab in the displays, I do not get that when I plug my HDMI in. I get nothing. Is there something else I could do?Never mind, I solved it. Didn't know the converter needed a power source to operate (duh!) Now I have that, it works just fine.......

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?
Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
Choose Sound
In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!
Mac Mini 2011 2.5Ghz 8 GB of RAM - Planar 17" VGA via display port adapter and Samsung 26" LCD TV via HDMI -
New 2012 Mac mini having issues in connecting to third party Monitors. Connected my mac mini to a 27" LG monitor. Text looks blurred. Tried connecting to the monitor using 3 options. 1) mini port to HDMI, then HDMI cable to LG monitor. 2) Mini port to VGA, then VGA cable to monitor 3) HDMI port on mini mac to DVI-D cable then DVI to DVI cable... In all cases text is not clear. Anyone has similar issues with latest mini mac. The monitor works fine when I connect to a windows 7 Samsung laptop. Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance
Why do you use always 2 cables? There's a lot that can go wrong.
1.) Hardware:
- Use only one cable, best an HDMI->HDMI cable. It doesn't need to be an expensive one, they've proven to be no worse than those "esoteric", expensive ones.
- Set the monitor to the HDMI input.
- The modes you are listing are only "picture modes" changing color/brightness/contrast settings, not resolution or the likes, so pick the one you like best later, or enter your own settings under Custom.
2.) OS X:
- Usually the Mac detects the screen itself and chooses the best settings, so by default you need to do nothing than make a proper hardware connection to get a decent image.
- However, there have been issues with new Mac Minis and particularly their HDMI ports. But reportedly they have been fixed with a software update. So, launch the App Store and check under Updates if there is one for you to install. If so, do it; otherwise you should be good to go.
- If you require, go to System Preferences -> Displays. In the Dispaly tab, by default, "Best for display" should be selected, and that is typically true. If you want, select "Scaled" and 1920x1080, plus a frequency from the list (where higher is usually better, but just pick the one that works best for you). If you can't see a change to the better, you best go back to "Best for display".
- If you are not happy with the colors on your screen, you'll find eventually more than one choice in the Color tab, though your particular screen should be in the list and its Display Profile should get you the best result. (Double-check picture modes on your display: if you're far off there, you won't make it much better with the Mac's settings). -
When i connect my iphone 5 to my pc using the usb cable, my device is not recognized yet when connected to a power source, it charges normally. What should i do to rectify the problem and read sth about debris being in the usb. How do i remove that?

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane. -
My time capsule seemed to have given up so I have just got a net gear router, I have no problem connecting wirelessly but when I connect an Ethernet cable it says it's connected but pages will not load
Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility. -

My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
WHAT to do? I got it today.When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

I have an iPod Nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod Loading error message. The cable works with the dealer's iPod which is a newer model. The cable came with the car when I purchased it. Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:
