Need better reception with WRT54GS

I just purchased a WRT54GS Wireless Router. I am very disappointed in it's range. It get low signal upstairs in my house making wireless connection very poor to non existence. My question is: is there a antenna booster or bigger antenna that I can purchase to improve its range? Thanks

If your atennas are verticle, then most of the signal is horizonally braodcasted.
Little to none of the signal goes verticle.
If you want the signal to go upstairs, try repositioning the antennas on the router to be horizontal, thus the signal goes veritcal.

Desperately need your help with WRT54G

I have WRT54G which connect to my desktop and a wireless laptop. The security was set as WEP. Everything works fine. I learned that WAP is more secured than WEP so I went to linksys router webpage setup and change it to WAP aes.
Now I have a problem. My wireless laptop can not access to the internet anymore. I could not remmemer what I did and exactly where but I did enter the WAP password on my wireless laptop. Sometimes, it shows connection is limitted and sometimes, it shows connected. But the wireless laptop can not access the internet (it just a blank webpage). So I changed it back to WEP and still unable to connect to the internet like before. Please show me the steps to make my wireless laptop to be able to connect to the internet (from the very beginning steps like I just bought the laptop today). A friend of mine helped me with connection before but he is not here now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Finally, I got the wireless laptop connected to the internet now. I entered a new passphrase and generated a new set of wep key on the linksys setup webpage. I then use the 1st wep key there to enter it on the laptop. I want to use the passphrase (easy to remember) when I set up on the laptop but it would not work unless I enter the wep key. So what is the passphrase for? to generate those wep keys? What can I do so that I do not have to use the wep key when set up the wireless laptop? it's just too long to remember. When my friends come over, I have to actually visit the linksys setup webpage to get the long wep key. I would like to use the passphrase if possible since it's much easier to remember.

Help needed - using AG241 with WRT54GS

Hey,recently i had successfully been using this set up.The wireless worked perfectly without any problems.However,setting it up to work was not so easy.
And now my wireless routers setting were restored to default and I am unable to get the two working together.Can you guys give me some advice please?
ie Should the WRT54GS be operating in router mode or gateway mode and should both have DHCP turned on?
thanks for your time.

and I forgot to mention I'd like to be able to send and recieve audio and midi between the 3 daws like using one to sequence another and say be able to export midi/audio to ableton and start it playing.
I also dj so I would ultimately prefer to be creating and compiling drum and synth loops and easily pass them to ableton whether in the studio or at a gig.

I need better performance from my computer. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I do a lot of video editing for work. I am currently using the Creative Cloud, and the programs I use most frequently are Premiere Pro CS6, Photoshop CS6, and Encore. My issue is that when I am rendering video in Premiere Pro, and most importantly, transcoding in Encore for BluRay discs, I am getting severe lag from my computer. It basically uses the majority of my computer's resources and doesn't allow me to do much else. This means, that I can't do other work while stuff is rendering or transcoding. I had this computer built specifically for video editing and need to know which direction to go in for an upgrade to get some better performance, and allow me to do other work.
For the record, I do have MPE: GPU Acceleration turned ON, and I have 12GBs of RAM alloted for Adobe in Premiere Pro's settings, and 4GBs left for "other".
Here is my computer:
- Dell Precision T7600
- Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
- DUAL Intel Xeon CPU E-2620 - 2.0GHz 6-core Processors
- 16GBs of RAM
- 256GB SSD as my primary drive. This is where the majority of my work is performed.
- Three 2TB secondary drives in a RAID5 configuration. This is solely for backing up data after I have worked on it. I don't really use this to work off of.
- nVidia Quadro 4000 2GB video card
When I am rendering or transcoding, my processor(s) performance fluctuates between 50%-70%, with all 12 cores active and being used. My physical memory is basically ALL used up while this is happening.
Here is where I am at on the issue. I put in a request for more RAM (32GBs), this way I can allot around 25GBs of RAM to the Adobe suite, leaving more than enough to do other things. I was told that this was not the right direction to go in. I was told that since my CPUs are working around 50-70%, it means that my video card isn't pulling enough weight. I was told that the first step in upgrading this machine that we should take, is to replace my 2GB video card with a 4GB video card, and that will fix these performance issues that I am having, not RAM.
This is the first machine that has been built over here for this purpose, so it is a learning process for us. I was hoping someone here could give a little insight to my situation.
Thanks for any help.

You have a couple of issues with this system:
Slow E5-2620's. You would be much better off with E5-2687W's
Limited memory. 32 GB is around bare minimum for a dual processor system.
Outdated Quadro 4000 card, which is very slow in comparison to newer cards and is generally not used when transcoding.
Far insufficient disk setup. You need way more disks.
A software raid5 carries a lot of overhead.
The crippled BIOS of Dell does not allow overclocking.
The SSD may suffer from severe 'stable state' performance degradation, reducing performance even more.
You would not be the first to leave a Dell in the configuration it came in. If that is the case, you need a lot of tuning to get it to run decently.
Second thing to consider is what source material are you transcoding to what destination format? If you start with AVCHD material and your destination is MPEG2-DVD, the internal workings of PR may look like this:
Convert AVCHD material to an internal intermediate, which is solely CPU bound. No GPU involvement.
Rescale the internal intermediate to DVD dimensions, which is MPE accelerated, so heavy GPU involvement.
Adjust the frame rate from 29.97 to 23.976, which again is MPE accelerated, so GPU bound.
Recode the rescaled and frame-blended internal intermediate to MPEG2-DVD codec, which is again solely CPU bound.
Apply effects to the MPEG2-DVD encoded material, which can be CPU bound for non-accelerated effects and GPU bound for accelerated effects.
Write the end result to disk, which is disk performance related.
If you export AVCHD to H.264-BR the GPU is out of the game altogether, since all transcoding is purely CPU based, assuming there is no frame blending going on. Then all the limitations of the Dell show up, as you noticed.

Need sample code with RV_INVOICE_CREATE used

Hi everybody!
I need sample code with RV_INVOICE_CREATE or similar FMs used.
The thing is that I do not know how to populate parametres of this and other invoicing FMs....
For example, there are some tables to be passed to RV_INVOICE_CREATE
 TABLES
 XKOMFK = XKOMFK
 XKOMV = XKOMV
 XTHEAD = XTHEAD
 XVBFS = XVBFS
 XVBPA = XVBPA
 XVBRK = XVBRK
 XVBRP = XVBRP
 XVBSS = XVBSS
How to populate them? I mean how to fill them with needed values?
Useful answers will be awarded.
Kind regards, M.

RV_INVOICE_CREATE is the function module to create invoice based on delivery .
when you pass delivery number ,it will create invoice ,see the invoice number in vf02,vf03 transaction. and also see the data vbrk,vbrp tables
I have done this development and i have cancelled invoice,reverse goods issue,updated the delivery and again i am createing invoice..see the below progrm to get better understanding.

Better off with ADSL???????

I have posted on here before about speed issues with my Infinity service, and thought I'd have another 'say' about the service. Original speed estimate was 35 Meg which was never even achievable according to Openreach Engineer (Chris.......... cheers you have tried your best). Had a connection of 23 Meg briefly which was unstable and was knocked back to 18 with this software thing (it should be known as malware in my opinion), my sync speed has dropped steadily and HAVE A CONNECTION OF 10.8 MEGS WITH ERRORS. I used to get 6.5 on Broadband
The engineer has been back today following reporting of the fault. The line is Aluminium so there is the reason for my !"£$ service, buffering on iplayer on sd settings, kids complaining of lag whilst gaming etc. etc.
'Can you justify the cost of Infinity?' says the engineer.

Hi CypherMike,
I 'm afraid you need to configure your Teaming mode to "Switch Dependent" "Address Hash" ,also the physical switch ports need corresponding configuration .
Specifically, I've seen the following usage scenarios arise where a switch dependent team mode is needed:
Physical servers with heavy inbound AND outbound network load
Virtual Machines that have a network load
greater than the bandwidth capacity of one NIC in the team
In these scenarios, you can configure the NIC team to use one of the "Switch Dependent" team modes by configuring the "Teaming Mode" to either of the following values:
LACP - if your network switch supports the Link Aggregation Control Protocol ( aka., 802.1ax ) for dynamic link aggregation.
Static - if your network switch doesn't support LACP and requires a static link aggregation configuration
Note that when configuring one of these "Switch Dependent" modes, you'll also need to configure your network switch to appropriately handle traffic the network team.
Please refer to following blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2012/10/16/nic-teaming-in-windows-server-2012-do-i-need-to-configure-my-switch.aspx#.UsU-6ySQ-M9

No it does not, as long as you do as follows: (Instructions are copied over from my previous posts on the subject)
How to manually change the Windows HAL:
Use the following command: "expand d:\i386\halacpi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll"
Whereas: d: is your CD-ROM letter, or where you Windows XP Installation resides.
halacpi.dl_ can be any of the following depending on what you want to install:
"Standard PC", Non-ACPI PIC HAL (Hal.dll)</LI>
"MPS Uniprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halapic.dl_)</LI>
"MPS Multiprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halm
ps.
dl_)</LI>
"Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Uniprocessor PC", ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halaacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Multiprocessor PC", ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmacpi.dl_)
</LI>
Offcourse, the HAL you should change to is Standard PC. You will lose Dual Core or HT support in the process, but I strongly believe it can help. As per above, you can switch back to your previous HAL without reinstalling. You will be most prolably asked for the drivers of your devices, but on my setup, it didn't, as they were already stored in Windows' System Folders.

Need some help with threads...

Hello all,
I am working on a project at work, and I am not the best programmer in the world. I have been trying to get my head around this for a couple of days and just cannot get it to work.
I am writing an instrumentation control program that will have three threads. One is the GUI, one will receive control information and set up the hardware, and one will check the hardware status and report it to the GUI periodically. I plan on using the invokeLater() method to communicate the status to the GUI and change the status display in the GUI. Communication from the GUI to the controller thread and from the status thread to the controller thread I had planned on being piped input/output stream as appropriate. I have a control class and a status class that need to be communicated over these piped streams. In some trial code I have been unable to wrap the piped input/output streams with object input/output streams. I really need some help with this. Here is the main thread code:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;*
*public class PlayingWithThreads1 {*
public static void main(String[] args) {*
* PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();*
* ObjectOutputStream oos = null;*
* ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);*
// Start the thread -- First try*
* Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
t.start();*
// Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream*
try*
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);*
catch (IOException e)*
System.out.println(e);*
// Start the thread -- Second try*
//Thread t = new Thread(rt);*
//t.start();*
/** Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
class that contains control or status information */

I read somewhere that it matters where you start the thread relative to where you wrap piped streams with the object streams. So, I tried the two places I felt were obvious to start the thread. These are noted in the comments. Here is the code for the thread.
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
try
inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
public void run()
System.out.println("Thread started");
try
if (inputObject.available() > 0)
System.out.println(inputObject.read());
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
Through testing I have determined that no matter where I start the thread, the thread never gets past the "inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);" assignment.
Could someone please help me with this? There are other ways for me to write this program, but this is the one that I would like to make work.
Many thanks in advance,

Thanks for the help, but that did not work. I tried flushing the ObjectOutputStream and it is still hanging when initializing the thread.
Here is a better look at the code since I was helped to figure out how to insert it:
The main method:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class PlayingWithThreads1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PipedOutputStream outputPipe = new PipedOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream oos = null;
        ReceiverThread rt = new ReceiverThread(outputPipe);
        // Start the thread -- First try
        //Thread t = new Thread(rt);
        //t.start();
        // Wrap the output pipe with an ObjectOutputStream
        try
            oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outputPipe);
            oos.flush();
        catch (IOException e)
            System.out.println(e);
        // Start the thread -- Second try
        Thread t = new Thread(rt);
        t.start();
        /* Send an object over the pipe. In reality this object will be a
         * class that contains control or status information */
        try
            if (!oos.equals(null))
                oos.writeObject(new String ("Test"));
                oos.flush();
        catch (IOException e)
            System.out.pringln(e);
        try
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        catch (InterruptedException e)
}The thread code:
package playingwiththreads1;
import java.io.*;
public class ReceiverThread implements Runnable {
    private PipedInputStream inputPipe = new PipedInputStream();
    private ObjectInputStream inputObject;
    ReceiverThread (PipedOutputStream outputPipe)
        System.out.println("Thread initialization - start");
        try
            inputPipe.connect(outputPipe);
            inputObject = new ObjectInputStream(inputPipe);
        catch (IOException e)
            System.out.println(e);
        System.out.println("Thread initialization - complete");
    public void run()
        System.out.println("Thread started");
        try
            if (inputObject.available() > 0)
                System.out.println(inputObject.read());
        catch (IOException e)
            System.out.println(e);
}Does anyone else have and ideas?

Is there a number for us to call Apple support urgently.. I need to contact with them soonest to waiver off the amount

Is there a number for us to call Apple support urgently.. I need to contact with them soonest to waiver off the amount..
Trying many ways to contact Apple, but looks like they are not contactable...

It's not very clear exactly what your problem is, but if it's to do with any sort of purchase other than in iTunes or renewal your best bet is to ring the Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page.
If it's an iTunes purchase go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column.

Better Integration with Audition

I'd like to see better integration with Audition. How about being able to use Place to open a sound clip and place it in a multitrack session? Just like when using InDesign, the cursor would change to show a "loaded" state and the clip would be inserted wherever I place my cursor.

Maybe it will be seen, maybe it won't. The only way to be sure your suggestion is received by the Motion development team is to use the FEEDBACK section in the Motion menu.
Menu Bar>Motion>Provide Motion Feedback. When the webpage opens, select Motion from the software list.
Of course, you need to be connected to the internet.
Good luck.

Would I be better off with a 7200rpm HD or a SSHD for Logic?

I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive in my Macbook Pro and I'm curious as to whether an SSHD would be beneficial over a standard hard drive. The two options I'm looking at are either a 7200rpm hard drive or an SSHD hybrid drive that combines an 8GB SSD with a 5400rpm drive.
SSHD's are slightly more expensive and they seem like a good idea but I'm not sure if I'd get the benefit of the small SSD portion for using Logic or if I'd be better off with a 7200rpm drive.
I should add that I also need at least 500GB of storage so I've ruled out SSD's at this point.

I would say that it depends what you're doing, For my audio work i used to run a Mac Pro, then went to an iMac, and now do virtually everything from a Mac book pro with the standard 5400rpm hard drive. I had plans to put an SSD in there, but i thought i would see how it went first.
I use predominately hardware synths, real guitars and vocals.. The only real sampling software i've used in the past has been Steve slate drums. Recently i got into Omnisphere.. And i've got to say that i've never once had an issue with the 5400 drive.
On average i would say that i have around 4 guitar tracks, 3 vocal, 3-4 synth and a drum track playing at once, and never experienced a drop out in 18 months (The life of my MBP so far)... Obviously these tracks are spread out into more, but at any one time i can't imagine much more playing simulatenously.
So.. If you're my end of the scale don't go spending out too early.
Take Art's advice too, Firewire is a great option, i use that for video work where the HDD speed has been an issue in the past, and the FW drives are simply superb performers.
Big sample based soft synths that stream direct from disk... If you're using those, then i will second the FW Drives for audio work.. However, looking at the specs in your sig if you're running from a 2.26 Core2Duo machine i would imagine the processor would go before the drive on any heavy softsynths.
Probably best to go up to 8gb if you can on that machine?
Also, having performed a 7200rpm upgrade on an older macbook 5/6 years ago, be aware that it can add unwanted vibration and noise, have a negative effect on battery life and/or cause heat build up. Drives are much more efficient nowadays however, so not sure how many of those issues still exist.
It's not just down to cost why the 5400's go into a macbook.
Have you also considered stripping the DVD Drive out and placing an SSD in there? If i was to do any change on my MBP that would be the one i would perform.

AT&T Incompatible with WRT54G v8.0.0.7?

I recently upgraded the firmware of my WRT54G from v8.0.0.2 to v8.0.0.7 so that I could use it with my PS3 at school.
I'm home for spring break, and, naturally, I brought my router with me, as my parent's router (a WRT54G v8.0.0.2) won't work with the PS3.
I plug it in, get full bars on my laptop, and nothing. It doesn't work. PS3 is still in the box. I shut everything down, reset the router, blah blah blah, still nothing. Full bars, but pages won't load.
Now, the v8.0.0.2 here at the house works just fine; as soon as I plug it in, I can immediately navigate pages. But as soon as I plug in my v8.0.0.7, it stops working. However, I use it at school all the time, for everything with no problems. It works at my friends house as well.
The only difference between here and there is that we have Charter at school (and my friend's house) and AT&T at home.
Is v.8.0.0.7 incompatible with AT&T DSL for some reason? I can find no other explanation.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Derp.
Charter's router at school only needs a router with DHCP Auto-Config turned on to run.
AT&T uses PPPoE, so all I had to do was plug in my parent's name and password, and it worked. That simple. I overthought this to the max, it was such an easy fix.

Better Reception when Plugged in?

Has anyone else noticed that the IPhone has much better reception when it is plugged in? Normally (in my hand) when at home my Iphone is only at 1 bar reception on standby or between calls and drops my calls frequently...I am in a bad area for AT&T. When the Iphone is in the cradle the reception goes up to 4-5 bars during and between calls and never loses calls. I have 3 cradles around the house and the reception is great when plugged into all of them, but poor otherwise.
Is it possible that the cell phone radio is cranked down a notch to save on battery life but is on max when plugged in? If so, wouldn't it be nice to have this as a sliding option, best reception is the worst for battery life and vice versa?

There have been several threads in this forum about this phenomenom, but I have yet to see a real answer, other than the USB cord, plugged in or not, acts as an external antenna for the iPhone, thus improving reception. I know this is the case at my house. I have decent reception everywhere except in my home office. There I have to use the phone in the dock either with the headset, or on speakerphone to make calls.
Inconvenient, but oh well! It works great everywhere else for me.

Digitize Beta tape with Sony UVW 1800 Betacam SP deck

Hi guys
I'm trying to digitize Beta tape with using Sony UVW 1800 Betacam SP deck. We've tried so many ways but still no luck.....If anybody has successful experience with this, please share the wisdom...!!!
I wrote what we've tried so far.
From Sony UVW 1800 Betacam sp deck to Sony media converter DVMC-DA2:
-S video cable, From BNC to RCA video cable, Audio cable connected with RCA cable.
(I've tried S video cable and BNC-RCA video cable at a time and one at a time.)
From Sony media converter DVMC-DA2 to Macbook pro:
-Firewire 400w/ firewire 800
FCP 7 settings:
-DV-NTSC easy setup
-Device control preset: We've tried Non controllable device, Firewire NTSC, Sony RS-422
Sony UVW 1800 betacam sp Settings:
-VTR setting(Local/Remote) is on Local
Sometimes we've also tried Keyspan adapter with keyspan driver. Keyspan serial assistant found Keyspan device but doesn't seem like I can have deck control on my mac...We used Rs422 cable to Mini din8 cable to connect Betacam deck and Keyspan.
But in FCP, it keep saying 'no communication'....sometimes it says 'not threaded'.
We've hooked Betacam Deck to Sony monitor to see if we can see pictures but we can't see anything or hear anything.....We can see just timecode. We have PVM-14N6U monitor and we used BNC cable to connect those.
Again, if anyone knows any small thing about this problem, please help me.
Thank you!!!!
P.S:
Even about cheap and good Betacam repair shop info is really helpful to me...!:)
Does anybody know any store which can offer service like sending a person to fix Betacam deck?
Thanks again!!

OK...this hits me:
We've hooked Betacam Deck to Sony monitor to see if we can see pictures but we can't see anything or hear anything.....We can see just timecode. We have PVM-14N6U monitor and we used BNC cable to connect those.
You connect the deck to a monitor and don't see or hear anything. OK...is the deck WORKING? Perhaps you can't capture anything because you aren't getting a signal from the deck. The deck will have 2 possible outputs....BNC that's a COMPOSITE signal (meaning SD video, a complete, but low end video signal), and three separate ones known as COMPOSITE...R-Y, B-Y and G-Y. Try both of those on the monitor. There's also one called SUPER. This is a COMPOSITE signal that also displays timecode. If you can see timecode on the monitor, that means you are plugged into this. BUT, if you see timecode and no video image...that means that the tape is bad, or the video heads are bad....because you are getting a video signal from the deck, but no image from the tape.
So we aren't even talking about the Sony converter...right now just trying to get a good signal...and you can't even do that, right? Might need to try another deck.
