Need help extending my current wireless connection

Hi guys,
I'd like to extend my current connection so that it reaches the two back bedrooms in the house. At the moment, we're lucky if we see one bar there. A friend spent a few hours this week trying to figure this out and finally gave up.
Our internet provider currently has us set up with a:
Huawei router HG655b
As options, I currently have access to an airport express (802.11n) as well as a Linksys E1000 wireless-N router and wonder if either could be used simply to extend the current wifi signal to reach the back bedrooms(mostly for ipads and ipods) OR completely replace the current Huawei router with either device to increase the current router's poor signal range.
I do most of my work in one of the rooms adjacent to the back two bedrooms and currently have a macbook pro connected by ethernet cable. I'd like to use this room to set up the airport express or linksys router if need be. On another note, the only system we have here with cd access is the macbook pro with Lion OS X. When I tried to install the Linksys router, we got an error message saying it wasn't compatible with Lion yet. Attempts to set it up without the cd have proven futile.
Thanks for any help in advance guys, we're totally clueless at the moment....

Hi again huluvu,
Changing the security settings on my Huawei didn't seem to make any difference unfortunately. I'm really not sure what the problem could be with my express. I am living in the middle east at the moment but I don't think this should matter as I know lots of others here who are using various airport products.
The good news is that I was able to increase the signal strength by setting up and creating a new network on the Linksys router. We're now able to get two bars(hey, it's better than one) and I'm wondering if I can physically move the router to another room closer or actually in one of the bedrooms. I currently have the Linksys router sitting next to and connected to the Huawei by ethernet cable. I haven't tried it yet as I'm worried about causing problems with the newly created network but I wonder if I could now unplug the ethernet cable on the Linksys and move it and plug it in in one of the back bedrooms(without ethernet cable) or does it need to be connected to the Huawei by ethernet. If so, I guess I could run the ethernet cable into the bedroom as well but would prefer not to unless need be.
Thanks again for the detailed info. I had the iStumbler app before but am now using the KisMAC app which I believe does pretty much the same thing. I'm going to look at the "wifi scanner" app now.
Cheers!

Need help configuring Cisco/Linksys wireless router to extend wi-fi signal to living room

My U-verse wireless gateway is in the back of our house. We live in an old 1920's home with solid wood walls. For our macbooks, we get a pretty decent signal, but my wife's iPad 2 get's poor wi-fi speeds. I bought a Cisco/Linksys WRT160N wireless N broadband router. I have a wired connection in my living room (going to a 4 port switch) then connected to my DVR. I tried hooking up the new router but ended up getting no signal on the iPad. In fact, it caused other issues. I ended up disconnecting it and re-booting my gateway. All came back fine. This wireless router replaces a similar unit that went out in after a power failure, so I know this can be done, but I forget exactly how I confiured the old one. I would like it to "extend" my signal to the living room, but I am also willing to create a new network (different SSID). Do I need to turn of DHCP? Are there any web sites that can assist me in configuring the router? I wish I didn't have to deal with this. The signal from the RG is great when you are in the back room (20+ down). But my wife gets about 3 down on her iPad in the living room. Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I was doing some research on how this can be done. It does not appear there is an option in the Cisco router to set it up as an access point, but there are several options you can do to extend your network.
The first thing you can do is just set it up as a router behind router setup, and you will just have two separate networks. Make sure the DHCP pool does not conflict with the U-verse's gateway of 192.168.1.x.
The second thing you can do is connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on your Cisco router instead of using the internet port. This should make it work like a smart switch.
With both setups, you want to probably change the SSID, network key, and wireless security settings to the same thing for wireless roaming abilities. That way, anyone that configures their wireless connection will be connected to both networks. Just make sure the wireless channels are not the same, and I would suggest having them at least 5 apart.
Hope this helps.

Help!!! Need to extend the airport wireless range for my place of business

I was recently moved to an area in my place of business where my wireless connection is just out of range from my macbook pro. My job requires me to be connected constantly to the internet and am stuck on how I can reconnect to our companies wifi network access. Are there any 3rd party products that can help me boost the wifi signal from my macbook? Please keep in mind that for a better part of the day im in my pickup so I can't use something like an airport express since I don't have an outlet to connect it to.
TY in advance.
P.S. Im about 200 feet away from our networks closest access point.

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Katman

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

I need help getting a Novatel Wireless Merlin S720 to work on my G4 PB

I need help with "Sprint Mobile Broadband Card Novatel Wireless Merlin S720.
I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running 10.4.8 as follows:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook3,3
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 667 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.9f1
I was told by a "Sprint PCS Level 2" Tech that if
I got one of the "Sprint" cards that I would have to
set it up on a "Windows" Laptop and then call a
"Sprint PCS Level 2" tech and have them walk me
through setting it up on my PowerBook G4...
I purchased a "PanTech PX500"... set it up on my
"Windows" laptop and called to be told that I should
have purchased a "Novatel S720" and the the "PanTech"
would NOT work in my Powerbook...
I took the "PanTech" back and finally (after of month of looking
for one in a Sprint Store to no avail) ordered on from Sprint's
Tel-Sales unit...
When it arrived I set it up on my "Windows" laptop and called
back to a Sprint Level 2 Tech... I got a tech that was very helpful,
however, was NOT able to get the "Novatel S720" to work... He
told me I should have purchased a "PanTech PX500"!!!
This morning I went to a "Sprint Store" and was told that they had
sold several "Novatel S720's" to Mac owners and suggested that
I keep the "Novatel S720" and even though they could not set it up
on my Mac... they suggested that I call back to another Level 2 tech...
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this working???
Many Thanks In Advance!!!

I went to the Sprint Store in St Peters MO and one of the Sprint
Associates told me that she had sold several Sprint cards including
20 or so S720's to a customer of her's..
A large graphics house based in St Louis.
She emailed the Senior VP there and ask that he contact me
if he could/would help...
I received an email from him in less than 4 hours and he
directed me to their in-house tech dept!
I called and talked to the person that he had directed me to
and that person told me that it was a little tricky... You have to do
some modification of the "Code" in the Kernel...
He said if would bring my Mac & the card over the next day
at 10AM it would take him about 10 minutes to get me up and
running!!!
I ask what the charge would be??? He said... "The Boss is a
real Mac Guy... Just Bring it over and we'll get you fixed
up!!! It's a Mac thing!!!"
It works Great!!! I've used it in several areas around the MidWest
and my next road trip will include IN, IL, MO (KC), KY, TN, AL, FL,
GA and SC... That will be the test!!!
I'm finding that I'm able to get on line with the Sprint Card in places
that I don't get very good Sprint PCS Cel service...Must be the
Sprint/NEXTEL combination!
I've been a Mac owner/user/teacher since early '84... It's
GREAT to me a Mac Person!!!
Thanks for your reply and taking the time to help!!!

Need help setting up eyeHome - Wireless with AX

Hi all,
I am trying to setup eyeHome over a wireless connection using Aiport Xtreme.
I have no problem connecting to the internet through AX and my D-Link ethernet modem (thanks to Apple Support), works perfectly.
But when I try and add eyeHome to this equation everything seems to stop working and I have to reset my AX and start all over again.
The problem seems to occur when I setup try to set up WDS over, I get an error about not being able to configure the base. Elgato's (eyeHome's makers) instructions on how to setup the device arent clear.
Please help me out on this. Cheers.

A little confused actually. Why does D-Link DSL- 300T have to support WDS, when it is the wireless adapter provided by Elgato which is having problems being configured. The setup is as follows?
WITHOUT ELGATO WIRELESS ADAPTOR ATTACHED:
ADSL LINE --via rj cable----> DLINK MODEM
DLINK MODEM ---via ethernet cable----> AIRPORT EXPRESS
AIRPORT EXPRESS - ----> iMac G5
WITH ELGATO WIRELESS ADAPTOR ATTACHED:
ADSL LINE --via rj cable----> DLINK MODEM
DLINK MODEM ---via ethernet cable----> AIRPORT EXPRESS
AIRPORT EXPRESS - ----> iMac G5
EYEHOME BOX ----via scart----->TV
WIRELESS ADAPTOR----via elgato's ethernet cable---> EYEHOME BOX
EYEHOME BOX---communicates via WIRELESS ADAPTOR through AX--->iMac
Hope this makes sense

Need help encrypting, etc - New Wireless User

I need help encrypting my network, I notice there are 5 wireless networks within range and they are all secure except mine. I also wonder why my signal is just "fair" .. I don't really understand this whole wireless thing, so any help anyone could give me would be appreciated.

First and foremost... what is the exact model number of your wireless device?
Anyway, let's use a hardwired PC to configure everything. On the hardwired PC, open up IE and on the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)...
Go the wireless tab do these steps:
► change the SSID (that will be the name of your wireless network... use any name you would want to use)...
► for proper signal propagation choose channel 11
Then to secure your network:
► go the wireless security subtab
► choose WPA personal
► input on the shared key box your desired wireless password (should be at least 8 characters long)....

I need to extend the power/thunderbolt connection to my airmac

i need to extend the power and thunderbolt cables to my airmac

The battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, so there is no harm you can do. In fact, it's better to use your MacBook Pro plugged most of the time (but don't forget to use the battery daily).

Need help extending wireless signal.

Hey all. So here at home we have the BT Home Hub 4 with BT Infinity. Our house is three stories tall, and the router is on the first floor. On the first floor, the connection is fast and reliable. Up here on the third floor (where my bedroom is), the connection to my PC is okay (slower than downstairs but reliable and stays connected), but the connection to any mobile devices is very unreliable and slow (very common disconnects).
I'd like to consider my options about boosting the signal so it's stronger on the third floor. What type of devices can I get to do this? Lets exclude a wired connection for now to save me running cable around the house (I don't know how practical that would be). I saw that BT are selling devices which you plug into the mains and run a cable from that to your device. Out of interest, would that offer any increase in speed if I plugged it in here in my bedroom? Surely because the original signal has the same distance to travel, it wouldn't make a difference? Failing that option, what else is there? I've heard about wireless boosters/repeaters but i'm not sure how well they work and if I need any extra kit to use them.
Also as a side question, does anyone know why my PC can pick up a reliable signal on the third floor, but my phone/games console struggle to do so? My wireless adapter connected to my PC is like 10 years old, so you'd think my newer devices would have better receiving capabilities.
Thanks for any help.

The BT devices you are referring to send the ethernet signal through your mains wiring, so you get a "wired" system without having to install any new wiring. You can get models that just have an ethernet socket, or ones that have a WiFi hotspot as well. Be aware that the speed you get through them is very much dependent on the nature of your mains wiring. The claimed 500Mbps speed is only achievable under laboratory conditions.
If you go for the WiFi ones, you get a second wireless point in your home, and your devices can connect to whichever gives the best signal. Most gadgets can remember multiple WiFi passwords, so it's easy to hop between your Home Hub and the hotspot.
For your side question, it will depend to a large extent on the size and orientation of the wireless antenna. As gadgets keep getting smaller, the antennas do as well, which may well wipe out the gains from the more advanced circuitry.

I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
Please help a new person to Apple!

why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

Need help with WRT54GL, can't connect on wireless just cable

Hello,
I have a WRT54GL, firmware 4.30.5. It is connected to a cable modem. I have two computers, one mac and one pc using XP SP2. Mac works great with its airport adapter but the pc only works with the cable. I tried two separate wireless USB adapters but can't get it to connect to the internet.
I can connect to the router but it keeps getting stock at the acquiring network address. I already set the Mac filter and the connection is Excellent but no internet.
Router is set to Auto DHCP. I appreciate any help.
Thank you all,
Nicko

Thanks for your help. Actually late last night I installed the EasyConnect Utility from Linksys.com and it managed to connect to the wireless router and connected to the Internet. But now my problem is the connection is VERY SLOW. The signal strength is Excellent but it takes a long while to download any page with flash or images. I did a Speakeasy.net speed test and it came our under 100K for download and about 200K for upload. When I connect a network cable directly to the router then the speed shoots up to over 1.5M+
Thanks again,
Nicko
