Network questions/concerns... please help

Hi, I need some networking help/advice.  My neighbor asked if she can use my wifi to stream tv/movies only. I couldn't say no because I felt bad and didn't want to say i didnt trust them.  So I hooked up a Netgear router for the wifi while connecting my gaming systems by ethernet to my modem…  I tested the wifi from the Netgear system and it seemed to be working.  I stepped a way for a while and decided to check it again & was able to connect to the NETGEAR but not the internet anymore…..  I know I made no changes but couldn’t find the problem until i ran the network diagnostics on my MacBook….  it created a diagnostic log and suddenly repaired the connection. Is it possible the neighbor was trying to access my local network and caused problems to the wifi?…  how do I find something like this and is there a way to give her access without exposing any of my devices?… and is the way i’ve chosen to do it even protecting at all??…. 

You have posted your question in a forum and section devoted to Apple and in particular to the MacBook Air. You may get an answer here -- but you may want to consider posting it somewhere that dedicated to networking issues where it may attract an answer from people with more expertise and interest in that type of issue.

  • Network Dropout Problems - Please Help

    Hi everyone,
    I bought my lovely Z10 from Bell and am using it paired with the Bell (supposed to be) 4G LTE network.  However, despite the fact that I have a 4G LTE SIM, live in a prime 4G LTE reception area (smack in the middle of Metro Vancouver), and having spent several hours with Bell techs trying to get my phone to work with the 4G LTE network the best that I can get is H (not even H+ or 4G).  Nothing that they have tried or that I have tried works.  So far I have used two SIM cards, one LTE and one regular and both times the best I can get for service is H.  Please do keep in mind that my Bold 9900 which I still have gets H+ with full bars on the exact same spot where I get only H with 4 bars with the Z10.
    Further to this, using the 4G LTE SIM if I toggle the mobile network off and then on, the phone will quickly establish a connection with H, then after about 30 seconds it will drop back down to h with 2 bars, then switch to 4G LTE for about 5-10 seconds and then drop the network entirely (no connection at all, emergency calls only), and then finally after about 30 seconds to a minute it will recover and settle on H only.
    What the heck is going on here?  I am going to go to a Bell store today on the advice of Bell techs and get them to test my 4G LTE SIM in one of their phones to determine if it is my SIM or the device itself.
    Can anyone share their experience?  Any problems being reported?  The best I could find on the net in this regard are the issues that a lot of iPhone 5 users were having but the causes and fixes are spotty.  Many remedied the problem by replacing their hardware pointing to a hardware issue instead of network issue.  Others continue to have issues to this day.  There are no reports that I can find on Z10s and extremely limited information on Android devices (only a few people reporting SGS3s with similar problems).
    Please help

    I have a similar problem with a Z10 and M1 provider.
    I notice an erratic behaviour of the data connection. Often the data connection drop, move from H+ to G to nothing back to H.. If I try to browse the web it is incredibly slow and half of the time I get the error message it can't load the page.
    I connected the Z10 to the laptop using the hotspot function. A simple ping to the M1 DNS or www.google.com shows 50% packets loss. Half of the time a DNS lookup return a time-out.
    I found this on the web http://www.berryqa.com/vodafone-facing-issues-with-the-blackberry-z10-data/
    It seems the same problem I am having.

  • Network connection problems, please help!

    I have had an iPod Touch (4th generation) for over a year now and it worked fine. Today, something went wrong with my network connection. One moment it says that I'm connected to a network, and a few seconds later it says I'm not connected... Then a few seconds later it's connected again. I have full wifi bars, and it does it throughout my whole house. The wifi symbol keeps going on and off. I tried turning my Verizon Westell Model 6100G Modem off and back on because this normally fixes my wifi connection problems. This didn't work. Then I tried turning my iPod off and back on. This didn't work. I tried turning the wifi off and back on. This didn't work. I tried forgetting my network and signing back in. This didn't work. I also tried resetting the network, and this didn't work either. I'm not having any connection problems with my laptop, it's working fine. It's only my iPod. I'm still able to use the wifi, but for a split second, it will not work. I'm not sure what else to do. It's very annoying! I'm going to see if it does this at other peoples houses with their wifi. Can any one tell me what's wrong and how I should fix it? My only theory is a broken antenna...Please help! Thanks!

    I have two things you could try.
    1. Plug your iPod into the host computer that which the network is based around because sometimes the network has trouble identifying a device if it has been a while since you plugged it into the computer.
    2. Find some way to get your network information (IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS numbers) from another device on the network (e.g. laptop). Then go to Settings > Wi-FI and find your router and tap the blue arrow to the right of the name and tap the tab that says "Static" and enter this information accordingly. Then exit back to the network names menu and re-enter your passcode for your network (assuming you have a passcode)

  • When I try to download songs from itunes it says I have to answer my security questions(which i made a year ago) I can't remember them, and I can't get on my email to reset the questions.. please help ASAP!

    I recieved an ipod 5 for a early christmas present a day ago, I already owned an ipod 4 so i just used my info from that ipod as a back up for my 5g. but now when i try to download music from itunes it says i must use my security questions (which i made over a year ago) I can't remember the answers and i can't get on the email that it sends the reset info to. i don't know what to do and its really frustrating. please help ASAP!

    You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
    Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

  • I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.​Please help me for that.

    I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
    1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
    ible?
    (2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
    (3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
    (4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

    Hi Vishal,
    I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
    1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
    2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
    3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
    4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
    Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.
    Ron
