Moden/Router in other room

I had another router and it went out last week; so bought new one, WRT54G. My modem is actully located in the den but my desktop is in the bedroom. I moved the modem to the BR so I could connect the router up and it's working fine here; BUT I want to move the modem back tothe den and use my wireless connection. My son had already done this once and the internet was working but then stopped. So I redid everything and now my son is not here to help me. If I move everything back to the den am I going to loose everything again?

If after moving the modem to Bedroom ...the wired & wireless connections are working fine in that case it would in den aslo .....
Unplug the power of modem & router .... take the modem to the den .... power on the modem first ...wait for the power light to be solid .....
Power on the router .... wait for 100% power on .....
Try going online with wired as well as wireless computer ..........

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now have this problem?
Did the iPod stay connected before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Could be a loose antenna connectin

Windows 8.1 finds printer in the other room but I have all sharing disabled.

I have everything I can see disabled for sharing. Everything in:
-Start > PC settings
-When I go to Start and type in 'homegroup', 'Network', 'workgroup', etc.
-This Computer > Network
-All file explorer folders and drives.
I think W8.1 installed like this.
I have a printer that's like 15 years old and worked fine in XP but couldn't get it to work with W8.1. I made a thread and we tried basically everything but I gave up and am getting a new printer. I'm waiting from the manufacturer if there's a universal
driver or if it definitely can't be used with W8.
But anyway, when I tried to print, Windows couldn't find the 15 year old printer and asked to 'install a printer?" When I hit yes, it tries to install the printer on a computer in the other room (I know because of the printer name). That printer IS
on a workgroup and can be printed from other computers here and most likely without a password or anything (but never printed from my PC using XP that I noticed).
I have "sharing and the ability to see other computers and devices on this network" turned off, so how did I
find the device? Is it because the device is set to share without a password and windows thinks it's doing me a favor by allowing me to see it despite it saying I have even seeing other devices blocked?
I don't want to share anything at all to the network/workgroup/homegroup. I installed W8.1 about a week ago and haven't retreived my XP data from my external because of possible unaware sharing.
And, I'm pretty sure the workgroup here is called WORKGROUP, and even though I don't think I'm sharing on it, it says I'm on WORKGROUP under my 'System', so I also changed that to random jumbled letters. Is that an extra step to insure no sharing or actually
prone to more accidental sharing, or it doesn't matter?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I might have figured it out sorta.
I could never get my Dell XPS 630 motherboard's onboard NIC to work with XP. Instead, I plugged my internet wire into a SMC1211TX add-on card that has a built-in driver and always worked.
In device manager, SMC1211TX is called "Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC". Device Manager shows the onboard NIC as "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" and it works with Windows 8.1.
I'm %98 sure that both cards don't have wireless capabilities. Although this site calls the SMC1211TX a wireless card and I read people installing drivers to make it wireless but I'm not sure if that requires additional hardware: [link]
All I can search out is people trying to add wireless to the Dell XPS 630's NVIDIA NIC and people saying that it does not come with wireless. I can't seem to find an exact model # for the onboard NVIDIA NIC to see if it has Ethernet, but according to this,
it has Ethernet [link]
Someone mentioned "Is the printer on Ethernet, or is it connected directly to a PC? If it's on Ethernet, anything on the local network can see it."
The printer has a fax line from the wall phone jack, power cords, and the data cable's USB'd to the computer in the other room. The printer has Wireless enabled. The computer that the printer's plugged into might have an Ethernet card (I checked network
controllers in Device Manager etc on that PC and didn't see the word Ethernet, but it might be). So, I turned off the computer in the other room that the printer's connected to, but I still found the printer when I tried to print when using my Realtek RTL8139/810x
Family Fast Ethernet NIC. So I'm thinking that maybe since that NIC has Ethernet that I'm also getting wireless by being connected to a wireless router and it picks up the wireless printer? And that this still doesn't breach me sharing anything from my computer
because everything's private right?
I also plugged into the onboard NVIDIA NIC. I tried to print and see if the onboard card would find the printer in the other room and it did; however, when I tried a few more times, it wouldn't find the printer anymore, so I thought maybe this card doesn't
have Ethernet and that's why I could still find the printer with the other Ethernet card. But then even after rebooting a few times, I could still find the printer with the NVIDIA NIC with the computer in the other room turned off, so I'm thinking that maybe
the NVIDIA NIC also has Ethernet? Or that maybe it doesn't and it only tried to install the printer because the info was cached from using the Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC?
Also worth mentioning that the first thing I did after installing 8.1 was download drivers (chipset first then BIOS then one or two others). The only chipset driver from Dell was for XP so I tried it anyway but it didn't install. The BIOS flash seemed to work.
I tried their automated assistant to find and install drivers but it just showed the same XP drivers.

Want to enhance wifi strength - router in one room, wifi capable computer in another

I need to enhance the wifi signal in my home in order to utilize a wifi ready computer on another floor. The wifi indicates 2 out of 5 bars on the wifi indicator, but frequently loses the signal completely. I have several coaxial ports around the house and have heard that there is an old school Motorola device out there that I can use to boost the wifi signal.
I am using the router in the room where the fios wire enters the residence and want to leave it there....any suggestions?

The "old school Motorola" device is MoCA bridge. It will provide an Ethernet port active on your LAN anywhere you have coax. You'd then need to plug a WiFi access point or router into the Ethernet port.
Or, you could pickup an old Actiontec WiFi router online and use it as a single bridge and access point.
There are lots of discussions of how to do this in these forums. Spend some time searching and looking around and you'll find them.

Multi room dvr not working in other rooms

My mr dvr is not working in any of my other rooms. It has never worked. I just don't have the time to sit on the phone with tech support.
I have 3 other sd stb in other rooms and I have programs recorded on the dvr that are not in H. So shouldn't i be able to watch these in the other rooms?
When I look at my Fios TV info online it states this "Your STB record cannot be found."
any help would be appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is listed on my bill under TV additional services. " home media dvr- high definition" is this just for the actual DVR unit? Do I have to pay for the unit and then pay an additional amount for special programing? If so why wouldn't I have opted for the regular DVR instead of the Multi room dvr? I guess I will be spending most of my night on the phone with verizon!!!!
thanks for your help.

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

Phone sockets in other rooms

Please can you advise the what cost is to have two extra sockets in two other rooms in my home. I do not want another line.

I think BT charge £127.99 for the engineer to visit and £90 (ish) per extension socket they install.
You can always ask a local electrician or telecoms engineer (look in the phonebook for some close to you) and you may be able to 'haggle' a better price, or as suggested try a DIY kit from a local building supllier (B&Q etc) or by a cordless phone with mulitple handsets.
I run a twin set of phones from 1 sockets and have no problems. I just use 2 electric sockets to power them ;-)

How to copy exact settings / IP reservations / passwords etc from one router to other

Hi everyone,
I'm using EA4200 for around 1.5 years now. It has buttons as "save configuration" and "restore configuration", which I'm assuming can be used to mirror exact settigs and config of EA4200 to other router.
I bought EA6700 few days back (I was considering Asus but bought Linksys just cause I thought it would be easier to move settings).
However now that I look at EA6700 Administration menu, I don't see any "save" "restore" similar buttons.
So I would like to know if there is a way to easily migrate from one router to other. (In this case both are Linksys).
Thanks

Yes. Copy them all down on a piece of paper. Install the new router and simple put the settings back in.

Airport Sharing Computer to Computer and to Other Rooms using Airport Expre

Hi
I am trying to link my Imac and Macbook to play my itunes music using the inbuilt airport, to save me putting all my songs on two computers as i have too many songs to put on my laptop. i have done this successfully, but wondered whether (and how) i could still play the music in other rooms utilising the 2 airport express plugs that i have. it seems that when i select the other speakers they do not work. i want to do this so i can select the music on my laptop from the comfort of my settee, but still play music in the other rooms.
Would be grateful for any help

Welcome to the discussions.
If I understand this correctly, you have music stored on 2 different computers, you want to sit in your setee, and access music from either computer to play.
You can of course share files from one to the other, but I am not sure it is possible to remotely access and control the iMac from the Macbook to play the music you have stored on the iMac.
You can transfer the files from the iMac to the Macbook and then extract them and play them.
This set up is not as straight forward and easy as it may seem.
I personaly do not know how to do it, if it is possible, I am not aware of any step by step instructions on how to do it.

BT Infinity - Modem and Router in separate rooms?

My house is somewhat unusual in that the master socket is in the loft. It has a faceplate splitter into which all the phone extensions and the ADSL cable connect. The plasterboard on the bedroom ceilings is metal backed and when I tried locating the Home Hub in the loft the WiFi reception was very poor. To get round this I extended the ADSL line from the front of the master socket using the CAT5 that runs from the loft into most of the rooms. This set-up is currently working great and the WiFi and ADSL performance are very good indeed.
What's I'd like to know is will I be able to use a similar set-up with Infinity? Ie extend the 'Infinity' side of the new master socket over CAT5 to the modem and router one floor below or (preferably) co-locate the Infinity modem with the master socket and run the modem - Home Hub connection over CAT5? The red BT Infinity socket on the back of Home Hub looks to be a regular RJ45 connection so I'm hoping the latter approach will work just fine, ie modem in the loft and Hub one floor below via CAT5.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first suggestion is fine, but you will have to use a lead that has RJ11 heads on both ends. The DSL port on the Openreach modem will only accept an RJ11 head. (The DSL port on the new master socket will accept both RJ11 / 45. Your latter suggestion is fine and seems to be less hassle of the two. I've done it for several customers who've had LAN connections throughout their home.
