More than 4 network Devices - how do i connect?

Hi,
I have a new Home Hub 4 and i am currently using all the outlets from my network devices. I now need another connection in my lounge for my blue ray player, but i obviously do not have anymore network connections available?
I have an old home hub 3, could i swap the connection to the spare LAN2 at my modem and put the hub 3 on the other end and then have 4 connections available instead of the original 1?
I am a novice as this and would appreciate any help to solve my current problem - diagrams would be very useful.
Regards
Rob

>Disable the wifi card on your computer/laptop as you dont want to change settings on master hub by accident.
>Power on old hub but do not connect to phone line just plug it into the wall and connect an ethernet cable from this to your computer.
>Navigate to 192.168.1.254 on your browser this will bring up your hub configuration page.
> Goto Advanced - Firewall - Configuration - Disable.
> HUB 4 AND 5 ONLY: Goto Advanced - Home network - Smart Setup - Disable.
> Goto Advanced - Home Network - IP addresses - In the IP address box type 192.168.1.10 and then click on DHCP server disable - apply. (Do both steps then hit apply or you will loose connection and it will be difficult to get back)
> Now plug the old Hub into the main hub via ethernet or powerline network plugs and voila you have an access point.
At this point you will have 2 seperate wireless networks broadcasting 2 names (ssid) and using 2 different wireless keys, which itself is not a problem just point your devices at the one you want to connect to and it will work, however now would be a good time to set yourself a nice custom SSID and wireless key that you can remember easily and to do this follow instructions below.
To set master Hub goto 192.168.1.254 in your browser
To set slave Hub goto 192.168.1.10 in your browser.
Instructions are the same for both.
Goto advanced - wireless - and now set SSID - Wireless key to a custom choice, if you are using the same SSID and Key for both hubs make sure you set the same security type or devices may not be able to connect to one or the other.
Below applies to secondary hubs only and your main hub will have the same status lights as normal.
On Hubs V2 and V3 you will be left with just the wireless and power lights illuminated the broadband light will be off.
Hub V4 your status light will be orange and your broadband light will flash constantly this is normal.
Hub V5 your status light will be orange and broadband light will flash constantly, however occaisionally the status light will flash as if its trying to connect, again this is normal and does not effect operation.

I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
Scroll down to DHCP Settings
You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
Username: tech
Password: t3lu5tv
... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

Why won't my Time Capsule allow me to connect more than one device to the network at a time?

Ok here is the shortest story I can come up with...
Several months ago lightening struck my house and ruined the power cord for my old AIR PORT EXTREME....after replacing the power cable my wireless network began to prohibit more than one device at a time to connect to the wireless network.
I replaced that network with a new TIME CAPSULE and it is doing the same thing. I took my old AirPort Extreme to my work and it works like a charm. My ISP says it is an Apple problem but I have had the same settings both at home and at work. Work is great, multiple devices connect but home is one at a time and in order to connect ANOTHER device I have to power down one, and reboot the router and fire up the device I wish to connect.
Any suggestions?

I am running off a Fiber line....the unit that is a battery back up and appears to be a modem as well is called CyberPower CS24U12V-NA3
Techincally, there is no "router" in my house, there is a LOCKED control box outside, a battery back up module in the garage that shows battery life and connection, then a cat5 outlet in my laundry room..All of which was installed by my ISP.
I am using a 2TB Time Capsule running DHCP in Bridge Mode. I can't find the software version but updated it while installing it within the last two months.
Under Network Tab
Enable NAT Port mapping is checked
Under the Wireless Tab
we have a 5ghz Network
Radio mode is set to: 802.11a/n-802.11b/g/n (Automatic)
2.4 GHz is Auto
5 Ghz is Auto
I hope this helps....

How do I use AE to allow more than one device with my cable modem?

I connected by AE to my cable modem at my house in Japan and it works fine on "bridge mode," but only for one device at a time (this laptop, but not my iPod Touch, or vice versa). As soon as I connect a new device, it will kick the other one off. It seems that my cable modem here will only allow one device. Is there a way that I can use my Airport Extreme to allow more than one device and not have to pay the Internet provider extra for multiple IP addresses? How do I go about this? Do I select "share a public IP address" or do I select "distribute a range of IP addresses?" I tried these options but obviously wasn't doing it correctly, because then I lost the connection for everything... Thanks!

It would be best if you "hard reset" the Airport Extreme to clear out the old and conflicting settings and then reconfigure it again.
Hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding for another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button. That will get the Extreme back to the original starting point.
After you have powered the modem back up after the full reset, you will need to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again. If you are using he guided setup in AirPort Utility, you will choose the option to "create a wireless network" during the setup.
If you are using the Manual Setup, the Wireless Mode will be "Create a wireless network" and the setting for Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address". Adjusting the Connection Sharing setting would be the last thing that you do before you click Update to save settings.
Here, I am assuming that you have a simple cable modem (it will have only one ethernet port), correct?

Can't connect more than one device.

I just bought an Airport Express 2 gen from a friend and I have two issues: I tried to reset it to factory settings and could not do it. Tried holding the reset button for 10 secs, unplugging and plugging back in while holding the reset button, holding the button for a longer time and nothing worked. I had no choice but to create another network. Once created, I can't connect more than one device. If I have my MacAir hooked up the network and I try to get my Ipad in, the minute I type the network pass in my Ipad, a screen pops up where I have to log in with my internet provider account. When I do that, it will connect, but my MacAir will disconnect automatically.
Appreciate any help!

Things are a bit different with the 2nd Gen AirPort Express and other newer AirPorts.
A Factory Default Reset is now the same as what was previously known as a "Hard Reset".
Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few minutes.
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the Express is operating correctly, it will be back to factory default settings at this time.
If you try the reset a few times and the Express will not return to default settings, the Express is defective.

Can Not Connect More Than One Device

Does anyone else have the issue of not being able to connect more than 1 device to your wireless network without it timing out and resetting the router? I pay extra to have what they say is the fastest internet but it never works. If Apple TV is streaming Netflix my iPad, my laptop and my desktop all have to be off and not connected to the WiFi or the router resets itself. My speed test actually timed out because it was taking so long both times I tried it, a month apart. I had the same issues before switching to X1 and getting my new WiFi modem. If I call I just get the run around and have my modem reset a dozen times with the exact same outcome...

It would help if you post the model of the device.
Also look over the troubleshooting tips and post the downstream RF power levels, downstream SNR and upstream power levels on all channels.

More than one device connected?

I am testing out a project for a mobile device and when I package the apk and attempt to launch it on my phone, I get an error message sying that it can't be done because I have more than one device connected. I only have one device connected.
I've tested this project before n my phone and it launched as it was supposed to, but I added a document class to the project and think that might be causing the problem. Previously, I added all of my action script to a keyframe on the timeline, and everything worked fine.
I'd like some feedback as to whether or no the document class issue is the likely problem and how to get around it. If that's not the problem, I'd like to what what might be going on. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

using a document class is not the problem (though your document class may be a problem if it has errors).
use a file explorer to see if your computer lists more than 1 connected device. or restart your computer to reset its external connections.

I have songs from icloud showing on more than one device but only want them on one so how do i delete them

Can some tell me how i can not have the songs showing on more than one device for my account

Krshrtr wrote:
it wont let you swipe to the left on songs that have the cloud next to them
That's correct - it only deletes them from your phone, not from iCloud
If you go into Settings, Music and set Show All Music to Off, you will only see the songs that are actually on the phone.
One other tip - once you've deleted the songs/lists you no longer want, restart the phone (hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears) to make sure the songs are gone.

If I try to open the item on my Overdrive account with a device other than the one I originally used when I downloaded the ebokk, it gives me an error code "Fullfill 2004. This license has already been fulfilled by another user". When I contacted Overdrive Media they explained that I need to contact Adobe to authorize my various devices to have access to my Overdrive account which utilizes Adobe digital editions 4.0

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

How can I get a E3000 or E4200 to manage more than 5 devices

How can I get a E3000 or E4200 to manage more than 5 devices? Come on Cisco, lets get real. EVERYONE has more than 5 devices to manage. The average family of 4 has 3 or 4 computers, 4 smart phones and at least a couple of tablets and maybe some TV or game consoles. Setting access control policies is a must for anyone who is a parent.
Does anyone know of a good router that has a reasonable set of access control features? I've always loved Cisco up to this point, but I'm frustrated by this significant limitation.

Fuggedaboutit. Cisco apparently has retreated from the more advanced Internet Access Policy (IAP) to leave users with their paltry Parental Controls (PC) instead. For example the E4200v1 had IAP+PC, and the E4200v2 has only PC.
And good luck trying to find a E4200v1. I spent the last week, ordered 3 of them from different sources, and every one of them was a V2 inside of a V1 box, even the last one I ordered directly from Linksys!
That's a very bizarre marketing scam they're pulling there. The sad thing is that I actually want to keep using their product line, but they are doing their best to push me away.
I too am now regrouping and looking for a competitor who does 2 things well:
(A) High performing dual-band wireless access point, w/ pswd-protected guest-mode
(B) Reliable & fairly full-featured Internet access control (parental control)
My basic requirements for "B" are:
(1) Allow restrictions by IP or better yet MAC address (Cisco PC's hostname list didn't work for me)
(2) Device list of at least 12 devices (obviously family size varies but Cisco's 5 is a joke)
(3) Restricty by days of week and time of day (hourly or half-hourly would be nice)
(4) Restrict by URL's and keywords, at least 12 per device or policy/rule
I wonder if there's a home router whose stock OS, meets these requirements. Otherwise I may have to look into using DD-WRT or similar.

How to set permissions to allow reading on more than one device

Our base permissions restrict reading to one device for 365 days with print 1 page and copy 1 page limits. For a new book we're adding to our online library, we want to allow people to read on more than one device, with a defined expiration date (January 15, 2012) and no printing and no copying. (The "more than one device" restriction is intended to allow users to transfer the book to iTunes and read it in Bluefire Reader.)
How do we set permissions for this new book? In particular, what Read settings for devices do we use? No selection? The options in the ACS Console are not clear to us (i.e., the choice between A Single Device and Specific Device Type) and the manual doesn't offer an example. ... I'm guessing the selections should be none -- i.e., do not specify any device setting. Yes?
Any help would be appreciated.

What I understand your current side restrictions to be (best if they are in a distribution right rather than base permission btw)
<permissions>
<display>
     <device />
     <duration>31536000</duration>
<display>
<print>
<count initial="1"/>
</print>
<excerpt>
    <count initial="1"/>
</excerpt>
</permissions>
What I think you want
<permissions>
<display>
     <device />
     <duration>31536000</duration>
</display>
<display>

</display>
<print>
<count initial="1"/>
</print>
<excerpt>
    <count initial="1"/>
</excerpt>
</permissions>
(these are looking at the raw permissions rather than the dialog in the admin console)
Which I would describe as allow viewing on the device which fulfilled the content for one year, and in addition allow viewing on any mobile or tethered device (Bluefire Reader iPad app, android app, Nook Color, etc...) until Jan 15, 2010 at midnight PST. One print and one copy is allowed (and can only be used on the device that fulfilled the content).

Airport disconnects when there's more than one device

I've got a really weird problem.. I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n 3rd Generation. Software version 7.6 When more than one device connecrts to the base station it will disconnect everyone and then all devices will go into a connect/disconnect loops. Rapidly. This occurs only with wireless device. I watched the radar on my iPhone (5.1), Macbook running Snow Leopard, Macbook Air running Lion, and iPad 2 (5.1) blinking on and off, on and off. The only way to resolve this is to just have ONE person connect at a time.
Things I've tried:
1) Updating all software on all devices
2) Updating Airport firmware
3) Reboot and then restoring factory settings on the Airport when the reboot didn't work
4) Turning off encryption (WP2)
5) Making sure there are enough IP's for all the devices, turning off robustness, making sure the router is visible.
Because I know someone will ask this: The Airport sits atop a credenza in the open air. Nothing on, around, or above it. It's been in this position for months with no problem. It's not overly warm to the touch and I even used compressed air to blow out the vents (just in case) when this problem began.
I read once upon a time that the router gets a cache built up and that can cause these types of issues, but I have no idea how to delete said cache or even if it exists. It's just odd this only happens when more than one wireless device tried to connect to the network.
Thoughts?

I've resolved this! For some odd reason Apple won't let me denote this so I'm adding this reply. Turns out the problem was POWER related. The Airport was plugged into a power strip with several other devices. I unplugged all of those leaving just the Airport and the problem has not returned. If I add on all the devices, regardless of the power strip used, the problem returns. So it appears the Airport was just not getting enough power.
I've got it on a UPS now and the problem has not returned.

Adding more than 2 devices to wifi

Could you please guide how to connect more than 2 devices? To use the 2 rd phone need to switch wifi on either the laptop or the other phone

You can connect any number of wireless devices. You do not need to switch off other devices.
Make sure you are connecting to your Homehub network and not BTWifi. Your Homehub network will be something like BTHomhub5-xxx
See link how to connect.
