Need help setting up MoCa for superior speed for upstair room in house

Hey guys i need some help. I just upgraded my plan to the 50/20 Fios and now i really want that speed upstairs to my gameroom. Before i had the 10/2 plan where wireless was sufficient (i could get 9mpbs download speed wirelessly everywhere i needed internet using the mi424wr)
But now this crappy (no offense ) router is just not sufficient for the 50mbps download speed. Even if my laptop is RIGHT NEXT to the router, i only get max speed of 20 - 23mpbs download. Whereas if im connected via ethernet, i get the full 50+Mbps download speed. For some reason the upload speed is fine at over 20mpbs. (Anyone has any explanation for this? If other 2.4ghz devices were causing interferences, shouldnt the upload speed be affected also?) And Yes, i have changed the channel to 11 (every other wifi network is on 6)
I also have this hawking high gain antenna connected to the router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164156
In any case i feel that MoCa would be a much cheaper and more reliable approach to achieve better speeds compared to buying a wireless n dual band router & adapter
Currently i have the ONT connect to the WAN Router VIA Coax
I also have Dish network for Tv services with the STB upstairs (same room where i want the Ethernet from MoCa to connect to PC,PS3). Not sure if relevent, but the dish is set up so that my downstair tv has acces to Dish tv VIA the coax connected to the STB upstairs. So ONE STB provides TV upstairs AND TV downstairs with dish services via Coax.
From the various articles i have read, this is my understanding of what i should do but of course im a newbie so i need your suggestions. I should add splitter the coax coming out of the ONT and connect one split to the router and the other split to the wall? then upstairs add a splitter to the coax connection from the wall and split one for dish STB and split one for MoCa actiontec which will then be connect to the internet and i could run ethernet from MoCa actiontec to ps3 and PC.
Is that anywhere even close to a working solution or im just dreaming that it would this easy? lol
Thanks for all the help!

The actiontec router is b/g mode only and I've changed it from mixed to g only. I wish they had upgraded my router with the services but nope still have the crappy actiontec router.
If you read my post I've already changed the channel most appropriate for me.
I've also read that post about interferences but if im literally ONE feet away from the router, I should atleast get above 40 mbps download speed. Why is my upload speed above 20mbps but Download speed can't exceed 23mbps?
Is there a possible solution for moca to coexist with dish services? A special splitter to seperate both lines? Or is powerline my only option?
Keep in mind, with Wireless you're limited by the fact that it is also a Half Duplex connection by design (can only send OR receive on a radio, can't do both like you can on Full Duplex Wired connections) which reduces speeds, and also protocol overhead which increases as you add additional devices to an access point.and increase traffic in a broad scale. So, if you're getting 22-25Mbps on Wireless G, that's about all you're going to get from it. 54Mbps is a theoretical limit with the assumption you've cut down all overhead, have a full duplex connection and are not encountering noise.
I recall seeing something on DSLReports about using MoCa with a Satellite TV provider, and it involved a lot of filtering within the coaxial to work. Ideally, you're best using a dedicated line for Coaxial if you're going to use MoCa to cut down on the complexity and risks caused by using a satellite system's coax.

  • Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

    Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
    This is the email sent with the proof today:
    "               I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you       visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17.       You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18       press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have       bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should       bleed.
    I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
    Printer Info:
    They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
    Requested bleed: 1/8
    They print out of Quark
    I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
    I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
    I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
    Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

    It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
    I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
    The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
    It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
    That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
    There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
    (This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
    Anyway....
    1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
    (Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
    2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
    Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
    Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
    3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
    4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
    5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
    6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
    7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
    DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
    Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
    Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
    8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired.  You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
    9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
    10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

  • WRVS4400N v2: Need help setting up VPN for Mac

    I'm having problems trying to establish a IP Sec tunnel from the office to home. All of our machines are Macs so I have been using the directions described in "How to create an IP Sec tunnel for MAC Clients, A QVPN alternative" but I still can't get it to work. My setup is as follows:
    The office is connected to the outside world through a MODEM (Sagemcom 2864 Connection Hub). This MODEM is also a wireless router. It's DHCP server provides addresses 192.168.2.x.
    The WRVS4400N's WAN port is connected to one of the LAN ports on the MODEM. It's IP address from the MODEM is 192.168.2.x. The WRVS4400N provides addresses 192.168.21.x to devices connected to it.
    We have a DynDNS account and are using the DDNS client on the WRVS4400N router to connect to it.
    At home, we have a DIR-655 router with IP Sec Passthru enabled. The router provides IP addresses 192.168.1.x for all devices connected to it. I am fairly sure there are no issues with the router setup at home since I am able to VPN into the office of my full-time job without any problems.
    I have tried just about everything I can think of but have not been able to get this to work. Can someone please help with setting up the Local and Remote Group Settings on the WRVS4400N and the IP address settings in IP Securitas?
    TIA

    Hi,
    If you need to establish a client vpn connection with the WRVS4400N, first you need to insure that the modem infront support IPSec Passthrough and that UDP ports 500 and 4500 are forwarded to the WAN IP of WRVS4400N.
    On WRVS4400N you have to configure IPSec VPN tunnel, and when configuring IPSecuritas insure that you have the same encryption as on the router.
    It could help if you enable the Local logs and see the error message.
    You can provide the log output and print screens of the IPSec configuration, also screenshot of configuration of IPsecuritas

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

    Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
    I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
    However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
    Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
    Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

    You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

    Teresa,
    I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
    I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

  • Need help setting up and configuring rsync

    Hello
    I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
    Here is what I would like to:
    - I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
    - The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
    - this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
    - hopefully this makes sense??
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    It's a lofty but unrealistic goal.  Rsync does not run automatically.  There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
    I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
    If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

  • Deperately need help setting up external midi devices

    I need help setting up external midi devices.....Motu828...Midi express...RolandXV3080....Motif rack.......HELP

    Theres not really much to setup. Assuming your synths are connected to the MIDI Express already..
    In Logic, make a new MIDI track. On the left hand side in the track inspector, among the parameters you'll see an option for MIDI Port and Channel. Just pick which port the track is going to, set the channel and device id and play (And be glad you never had to deal with setting up the old Environment window in Logic 5 and below).
    If you really wanna get into it and have all your MIDI ports named after the synth thats connected to it, open up Audio Midi Setup, create a device icon for each synth you have and draw the cables from each device to whatever port its connected to on the midi interface's icon.
    Then in Logic everytime you pick your MIDI port on your track, instead of MIDI Port 1, MIDI Port 2, etc.,
    it would be labelled XV-3080, Motif Rack, and so on.. I dont think theres anyway to do this within Logic itself (you can change the labels on your audio ins and outs, but not MIDI as far as I can recall)..
    If youre talking about having access to patch names and whatnot like Digital Performer and Cubase let you do, Logic doesnt use the xml patch lists everyone else does. The above steps are pretty much all there is to be done as far as MIDI.
    Heres my Audio Midi Setup window for reference.
    Now when I select MIDI Port 1 in Logic its named MWXT, port 2 is SR-16, etc..

  • CR 9 - Need HELP Setting Line Graph colors in the Chart Expert

    Post Author: desselle
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Hello,
    I created a Crystal Report (CR) based off an existing Trend Analysis report. I have created a VB6 application that calls the .RPT file I created for the report in CR.  The VB6 app sets the report recordset via code that corresponds to the .TTX file, and the parameters .  The report contains a Line graph that plots five pieces of data.  The report & graph work good.  The Problem: CR determines the color of each line on the graph.  However, I need to set the color for each line to correspond to the colors used on our existing reports.  The users are accustom to a certain color representing a certain set of data on the existing reports.   I have tried everything I can think of and from all documentation I can find, and nothing changes the line colors.   I have tried all of the following:
    1.) From the Chart Expert, Option tab, I click the Format button next to Color and setup conditional color settings per each piece of data.   However, when I run the report these conditional color settings are not reflected on the CR graph.     I am using formula fields (based off database fields in the recordset) to produce the report.  However, I only see the database fields to use in the conditional color formatting screen and not the formula fields.    I thought this would possibly be the cause why the colors wonu2019t change on the CR, but I canu2019t find a way to make the formula fields show up in the list.
    2.)Also, I tried right clicking the individual lines of the graph and change the selected item color, but this didnu2019t change the color either.  I do this in Design mode and Preview mode and neither one changes the color of the lines on the graph.
    3.)I have also looked into the CR object model to see if I can change the line colors of the graph via code and it doesn't look like I am given this flexibility.
    Do you know what I am doing wrong here?   I just want to be able to set the color of each line on the CR graph to the color I want instead of using the default colors.  Are there some Hot Fixes that I need to apply to my copy of CR?
    Thanks

    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Hello,
    I got the problem fixed w/ the line graph not making the data lines the same color on the report as on the frmPlot graph.   Compare the two screen shots below.   The problem was as follows:  When I created the graph (in the Chart Expert) the field u201CReadingDateu201D was not one of the Report Fields, and all the other fields were Report Fields (Reading, LowAlarm, UpperAlarm, LowerLimit, & UpperLimit). See the 3rd screen shot below.  ReadingDate does show up as a Report Field now but it wasnu2019t at first.   Originally, this field was only available in the Chart Expert as a recordset field.  When I changed this field to be a Report Field, the graph then allowed me to change the data series line colors.   This was not obvious at all.   From the beginning when I setup the graph and passed in the recordset from VB it graphed all of the data series fine.   The colors that the Chart Expert chose for each line just didnu2019t match what was on the frmPlot graph.   Anyway, it is working now.     I can at least say I learned (somethingu2019s to-do and somethingu2019s not to-do) a good bit about Crystal Reports in the process.
