My friend needs a new router and their while family uses PC's.
So as you can tell from my topic, my friend is upgrading his router, and they only have PC based computer, and I suggested he should get an airport extreme. With the new beamforming technology and the reviews, i figured u cant really go wrong. However, I was reading online that you can't set up one of the new airport extremes without an Apple device, is this true? And if you can install one without a mac, would an airport extreme be a good choice for him, or should he stick to netgear or products like that.
A "new" AirPort Exteme cannot be configured using a PC....but could be configured using an iPad or iPhone.
If your friend does not have an iPad or iPhone, then you should not recommend an AirPort Extreme for him/her.

Do I need a new router or an extender
I have a new HP laptop and am using a Netgear N WnR 2000 v2 wireless router that is about 2 years old. Everything is fine except in one bedroom. Most of the time i get 2 to 4 bars which is fine. However there are times mostly at night when the signal drops or drops to 1 bar. It seems to be worse when neighbors wireless is showing on my network My router is on one end. of the house and the bedroom is on the other end There are several walls between the two.. The main problem is streaming movies (Netflix etc}. Do I need a new router or a range extender. I am cosidering the netgear universal extender.Wwill a dual band router take care of my situation. I am not real pc savvy so plain answers are best
ThanksI'd go with a new router because its about the same price as an extender. I'd recommend a dual band router from Cisco, this one in particular.

We should have them readily available at our local store in your area. If not, we can do an online order or an order that allows you to pay at one store and pick up at a store that has it in stock.
I hope this helps.

I need a new router for my MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.3
Need a new router for OS 10.9.3 and found that Linksys E2500 is not compatible. Any suggestions for a moderately priced router that will work for a 2300 square foot home and patio? Thanks!
It depends on what your idea of moderately priced is... however, I would go with the 6th generation Apple AirPort Extreme -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/ME918LL/A/airport-extreme?fnode=4d.
It's a joy of a router and so simple to configure with the AirPort Utility. Unlike some routers, where the setup takes a network genius to configure and maintain, you can access all the settings you need through the utility. I've had dozens of routers in my lifetime but the 6th generation AirPort Extreme beats them all, hands down, and is well worth the extra money that it may cost. It's also 'future-proof,' so if you buy a machine that utilizes 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, you'll be set.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Just put in a new router and now my ipad 1 will not connect to the server. It is connected to the wifi though. Does this mean my ipad is too old? Any suggestions on what to do?
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
Do i need a new SWCV and a business system
Hi Friends
Do i need a new SWCV and Business suystem for every scenario .
Let us say i created one file to iDOC scenario with the same sender and same target system
and now for the same Sender and Reciever i want to create one more scenario which is again a file to idoc
So for this do i have to do all the stuff in SLD again.
ThanksNo you need not create a new technical and business system. You can use the existing technical and business system defined for the same source and target system. You just need to go to the "Objects" tab in ID and add the business system to your scenario.
As far as technical and business sytem info:
SLD is based on the CIM model ( Common Information model)
this model clasiifies the system in terms of SWC, Product, TS, BS to list down....
TS--> Technical details of the system likeserver name, IP etc....it mostly identifies the system with it's technically ( this gives option to change the TS in future suupose you change the server or its configuration etc)
BS---> represents the BS usuage identity suppose youa re using the SAP r/3 clnt 100 is sued for develoment activity 200 for QA here the R/3 palys the TS system and 100 200 plays int he Business system....for that particular business wht'a the role of this system......
Do award points if you feel your query is answered.
Thanx

I just installed a new router and cannot connect with my ipad now. I have no idea what settings I shold be looking at or how to do this
you likely need to setup your router using an eathernet cable and a computer to turn on the wifi part and set an encryption level and password or the likes
if you havent do such things before you may require help from somebody who have
the router likely comes with an instruction manual how you set it up the first time -
Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself. -
I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine. My MacBook Pro does not. I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect. And, it isn't! Very frustrating. What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router. Again, only on the Mac. Thanks!
If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.

I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?
You cannot do this. iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

I purchased a new router and can not connect my IPHONE 4S to it. All my other devices connect fine including my IPAD. HELP! I am not a techie!! I am a newbie
My guess is that when you see the router on your phone, you press the blue arrow on the right - thats why you see all the IP stuff. Don't press the blue arrow. Press further to the left. You should be prompted for a password then.

I have an iphone 4, and it's the first edition... I need a new phone and the latest is the iPhone 5. I'm wondering if apple will release a new iphone soon or should i go with the iphone 5?
No one here would know Apple's plans. But, if past history holds true, expect a new model iPhone sometime between now & the fall.

I purchased a new router and now I can not connect to my time capsule. What should I do?
In the past, I have just used my time capsule to back up my macbook pro. It connected wirelessly and everything worked great. I recently purchased a new router and now I cannot connect to the time capsule. Please help!
Is that other router the "main" one? If so, you'll have to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network created by that router. The details of how to do that and whether it's possible may depend on the brand and model of that router, but I have no details on that.
