Need help adding wifi to a wired network with multiple hardwired ethernet

Hello all ,
I have a question that I can't seem to find the exact answer for and so I solicit your help.
I am renovating a large old farm which has 4 main buildings, arranged in a line that spans 150 feet in length. I had installed hardwire ethernet to each of the buildings all connected to an ethernet Gigabit switch which is connected top the adsl modem/router. What I wish to do is to connect a wireless access point/borne/or whatever is needed to the ethernet access point in each building giving me wireless capacity in each . My main access point is 100 feet or more from the farthest building and since this a farm dating from 1845 , and made of stone , a 100% wireless networks doesn't seem feasable.
Do I need to use aps? ethernet bridges? any suggestions are very welcome
Saxman

It sounds, based on your network description, that you should be able to set up a "roaming" network by inserting a 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) in each of the farm buildings that are attached to the Ethernet backbone that you installed.
For more information about a roaming network see pages 40 - 41 in the following Apple document: Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility

  • Need help adding 2nd AExpress to wireless network

    hey peeps, i'm adding my second AE to my system, which contains a Macbook, a wireless DSL modem and another AExpress which is wireless and is connected to a stereo. I am having trouble connecting the 2nd AE to the system. Everytime i try to configure it it asks me if i want to switch networks, which i don't want to do. When i do that i lose my connection. I need to tie the new AE in to my current system.

    Ok, let's double-check the 2nd AX's configuration to join the wireless network provided by the 2wire.
    Temporarily connect AX to your Mac Pro using an Ethernet cable, and then, using the AirPort Utility check the following:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing 2wire's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

    I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

    I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
    I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
    I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
    As you can see, I'm low tech!
    Good luck!

  • Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

    Hi,
    I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
    Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
    This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
    Possible errors include:
    Bad gateway URL
    Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
    Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

    Do you have integration configured between the two systems?  It sounds like you don't from the error.  Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working.  If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

  • Airport Express and wired network with static IPs

    I have a wired network with static IPs. I have a block of free IPs I can use to connect to this network. Manually setting any of one IP from this block on my MacBook Pro via ethernet works great - full network connectivity including internet.
    What I wish to do is add an Airport Express in between my MBP and the network, so that I may have greater freedom (wireless opposed to wired). Is the AX capable of this? If yes, what are the correct settings? Keep in mind there is no DHCP server on the network.
    I have tried giving the AX an IP manually and then accessing it from the MBP having the AX share IP (effectively becoming it's own DHCP server?). This gives internet connectivity, but I can't see any of the servers on the network. I assume because I'm now on a new subnet.
    So I then changed the AX settings to not distribute an IP and gave the MBP another IP from the block (different from the AX). This gives me the network, but no internet.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, I made a mistake and forgot to set the DNS servers manually. It seems the second method works fine. I've set up WPA2 security as well - I'm assuming this is okay in this situation. What is the correct term for this setup? A wireless access point bridge? Is there anything more I should know about this setup? TIA

  • I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible

    Ok guys I am new to the iphone 4s. I just dumped my Blackberry after 10 years. I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible? Also I need it to automatically push email and appointments to my phone? I will buy any app just need to know which is best for work environment. Here is what I am thinking about doing. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-con tacts-with-google/ Is this the best way? For personal use I am using paid G whiz app

    I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone.  It works well for me for the past couple of years.
    As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
    As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

  • Extend wireless network with multiple airport express and netgear powerline

    I currently have the following network configuration:
    1. Using ATT u-verse (2-wire 3800HGV-B "modem") to internet
    2. Disabled the u-verse modem wireless router, and have connected an Apple Time Capsule wireless router (on a DMZ)
    3. Have four Netgear XAVB5001 powerline adapters connected to the time capsule (for our iMac desktops and the Apple TV)
    4. Have an Airport Express wirelessly connected to the time capsule to extend range (for our iPhones and iPad)
    All this is currently working. What I would like to do is the following, keeping 1-3 above the same:
    4. Connect the airport express to the time capsule via Netgear XAVB5101 powerline adapter (instead of wirelessly connecting to the time capsule as it is today) and use it to extend the wireless range of the time capsule
    5. Add ANOTHER airport express to the time capsule via powerline adapter (and extend the wireless range elsewhere in the house).
    Does anyone have any experience with this kind of setup and can assure that it would work? (I'm trying to decide whether to spring for a couple more powerline adapters and another airport express)
    Thanks in advance!
    Dave

    I had a VERY similar problem:  I was trying to extend my wireless network using a hardwired ethernet connection from Airport Extreme to my Time Capsule.  Every time I plugged in the wire to the TC, everything disappeared.  Unplugged, and boom.  Came back.
    Here's how I solved it:
    Go into Airport Utility and select the unit you are trying to use as a wireless extender and choose to edit it.  Then, on the wireless tab select CREATE a wireless network.  But, give it the exact same name and password.  This is completely counter-intuitive.  You would think to choose EXTEND, but this would be wrong.  Next choose the network tab.  And, select Router mode to Bridge (off).
    By choosing the same name and password, your phone, laptop, etc. will think it's on the same network and move seamlessly from one to the other.
    See if this fixes your issue.  Fixed mine instantly.  AND, it only took 3 painstaking hours of checking ethernet connections and rewiring jacks, etc. to figure it out.  LOL

  • Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

    I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
    I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.
