Non wifi interference

Do we need to enable the avoid persistent non wifi interference check box to include the non wifi interference in the DCA calculation

Hi ;
  This topic is quite confusing with the words
Step 6 Select the Avoid Foreign AP Interference check box to cause the controller's RRM algorithms to consider 802.11 traffic from foreign access points (those not included in your wireless network) when assigning channels to lightweight access points, or unselect it to disable this feature. For example, RRM may adjust the channel assignment to have access points avoid channels close to foreign access points. The default value is selected.
Step 7 Select the Avoid Cisco AP Load check box to cause the controller's RRM algorithms to consider 802.11 traffic from Cisco lightweight access points in your wireless network when assigning channels, or unselect it to disable this feature. For example, RRM can assign better reuse patterns to access points that carry a heavier traffic load. The default value is unselected.
Step 8 Select the Avoid Non-802.11a (802.11b) Noise check box to cause the controller's RRM algorithms to consider noise (non-802.11 traffic) in the channel when assigning channels to lightweight access points, or unselect it to disable this feature. For example, RRM may have access points avoid channels with significant interference from nonaccess point sources, such as microwave ovens. The default value is selected.
Step 9 Select the Avoid Persistent Non-WiFi Interference check box to enable the controller to ignore persistent non-WiFi interference. 
these statements are contradicting each other

  • WiFi Interference or TC Fail?

    My 3TB Time Capsule just passed its 1st birthday and has no Applecare. No lectures.
    For the past two weeks I have been experiencing odd WiFi failures on 2.4 GHz, usually 5 GHz connections remain solid.
    The other WiFi devices in the house are iPhones and MacBooks.
    All other TC functions remain solid: wired connections, printing, TC back ups. Wired AppleTV continues to work.
    I have a "Piper" that alerts me when it its connection drops (heartbeat to server systems die). The Piper is 2.4 GHz only. Here is a list of my recent alert times:
    Monday 6:41
    Monday 15:21
    Tuesday 1:01
    Friday 6:41
    Saturday 1:01
    Saturday 15:21
    Sunday 1:21
    I have been fixing this by changing the channel of my TC and updating it. Sometimes I cycle power on my whole network setup. Instantly the Piper announces it is connected. Until it isn't. All 2.4 GHz connections also die with the Piper. I started to move capable devices to 5 GHz and they continue working, but after a while, they too become problematical. Even then wired connections work just fine.
    I've been in denial that this is an actual death spiral of my TC. But it is increasingly hard to not put the blame on the TC hardware.
    I've searched for TC problems here and on Internet, this does not seem to be common. But articles on WiFi interference are. I did ask one neighbor if he sees WiFi problems and his answer is no. I have eliminated my household devices as sources of the problem as best as I can.
    So, is it the TC or is there any other possibility? See anything suspicious in the times listed?
    My next option is take down the TC wireless functions and use my decade old router for wireless.
    I don't to waste anymore money on TC hardware if I can't depend on it. No Applecare lectures.
    Cheers!

    I don't to waste anymore money on TC hardware if I can't depend on it. No Applecare lectures.
    One year warranty applies in some countries but others include what is called statutory warranty where the consumer protection insists on longer warranty on expensive products.. UK, Euro, Australia .. we all have at least 2 years.
    Assuming you are in the US.. and applecare cannot be purchased for TC anyway.. and there is a way around it if you have no suitable products within applecare now. This is not a Lecture about AppleCare.. please read it .. as it is a way to get applecare to work for you. It is copy and pasted from a general write up here. https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair/gen4-a1409-issues
    Which is concerned with previous model issues. And they also have proven to not be repairable.
    If you have applecare exercise it.. there are complex rules. But applecare on a computer or some other items.. Apple TV is key one, also cover the TC.
    If the TC is less than 2years old, buy an Apple TV and buy applecare for it. Do not unwrap the ATV .. you can sell it on ebay unopened.
    If you already own an ATV less than 12months old or a computer you can still qualify for AppleCare, then buy it.. The rule is the peripheral item must be purchased within 2 years of the item under applecare.
    So the total warranty is 3years; same as any computer you buy.
    iPad or iPod applecare does not cover a TC.. ATV does.
    Then get Apple to replace your TC as part of the AppleCare.. This seems to be the best solution. Please double check with Apple staff in the store..
    See if they consider 12month warranty adequate.. if they refuse to help you because you are 366 days into the purchase.. ask if I buy ATV with AppleCare will it cover the TC.
    Please relate your experiences on the apple discussions post.. as I think it helpful to share this around.
    In Australia at least the AppleCare for Apple TV is $35 which makes it cheap.. you can also buy applecare on a refurbished ATV so you might not even need to pay full price for it.. if you don't need it just sell it.
    Then exercise the warranty. The T&C clearly covers the Airport (which should include the TC). for up to two years before purchase and then within the applecare period.
    http://store.apple.com/au/product/MF219/apple-tv-applecare-protection-plan
    Apple staff will never suggest it to you.. but so far this has worked .. a printout of the T&C you can wave under some staff members nose is also a good idea. Know your rights. The TC will be replaced.
    I just recently purchased a TC so I can do some more work to find what is actually breaking down.. I suspect it is the power supply.
    My first TC lasted <1week before it died completely.. and although I would have loved to simply start.. it was too big a purchase to not exercise warranty .. so I have now just started running detailed info on my second TC.
    The fan is running faster than I thought.. still pretty well silent so it can obviously spin faster.

    I will continue posting info as it comes to hand.. assuming deletion of posts doesn't come prior to that.
    How hot is your TC getting? Some do seem to overheat.. and after one year.. the fan could well get clogged with dust.
    Unfortunately you cannot easily get the above info so you will need to just feel the outside temp at the top. My experience with the previous model TC would suggest to me that any fan driven cooling system running for a year will now be so filled with dust as to make it ineffective..
    Overheating is a typical issue that causes wireless to stop working.. but it may not exceed the temp setting that apple has for overheat warning. The hottest spot will be up the top of the TC which is right where the wifi amplifiers are located.
    You should do a wireless survey around your house with a wireless diagnostics program.. there is one built into all the OS since Mountain Lion.
    About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support
    I doubt you will have enough interference from a neighbour to so badly affect wireless but certainly if you have a laptop it should be used to survey near your "piper" device. Especially when things go bad.

  • Use A-express to connect non WiFi comptuter

    Can I use my Airport Express to connect a non WiFi enabled mac to my network and still run powered speakers from any of the Macs on the network wirelessly?
    Current config: SBC DSL modem/wired/WiFi router. Airport Express W/iTunes added to network. Powered speakers plugged into A-Express.
    What I want: Same thing plus other G4 that has no wireless card added to network via A-Express without losing ability to play sound from other computers to powered speakers.
    Thanks!

    buzzwig, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but that will not work since the SBC device isn't compatible with Apple's WDS. Without WDS you can not enable the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express (AX).

  • Can I use my non wifi Mac pro as my host computer?

    I have a Mac pro hard wired (ethernet) to my linksys router, I also have my Airport Extreme base station connected to the same router,
    my question is: can Apple TV see my NON WIFI Mac pro through the Airport base station and then through my router?,
    if so what kind of setup would I need to do?
    any advice would be great, cheers

    Smokerz, thanks for the reply, I should have been clearer, my Linksys is just an ethernet router not a wifi router,
    thats why I have the Airport base station, which is connected to the Linksys along with my other computers, the Linksys then connects to my Broadband cable modem.
    so my Airport base station is my only wireless reciever,
    cheers

  • Airport Express + iPod Touch + Hotel Room (non WiFi access)

    Just a question, since I tend to be the Mac guru at the office. Someone asked me if a hotel has non-WiFI internet access, can you connect to the web using only an Airport express and an iPod Touch?
    Since I don't have either I really couldn't give a good definitive answer. I told him it seemed like you should be able to plug in the APE, connect the eithernet cable, then find the signal with the iPod Touch.
    Anyone know if this is true, or is there some set-up that would need you to have a computer connected?

    Most of the time this will work. If the hotel uses some type of web page authorization it might not work.
    You may need a computer to configure the AirPort Express (AX) properly to connect to the hotel's Ethernet connection.

  • Magic Mouse Bluetooth Connection - WiFi Interference

    I have a macbook and recently purchased a magic mouse.  It constantly connects and disconnects.  I replaced the batteries, re-paired th BT connection, no luck.  I spent an hour on the phone with apple support and we tried everything they had in their database, no success.  I then took it to the genius bar at the local store with the same result.  Apple replaced the mouse with a new one, having the same problem.  The mouse only has issues in my apartment.  When I go to the conference room on the 1st floor, the mouse works fine.  I suspect my time capsule wifi 2.4ghz is causing interference with the bluetooth.  I tried to disable the 2.4ghz wifi and only use 5ghz, but I can't find a way to do it.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.

    I'm starting to have problems with the Bluetooth not recognizing the Magic Mouse even though 1) it's discoverable and 2) I favorited it. Does this have anything to do with the new Magic Prefs app?
    One other thing that could make a major difference is that I downloaded USB Overdrive in order to use a Logitech joystick. It really should have no bearing on something that is not a USB device, though that preference panel does recognize the Magic Mouse...in spirit if not in function. I cannot scroll with it or use the touch-specific functions of that device. If Bluetooth cannot read it, what good is it anyway?

  • How do i use my airport on a router that has a non wifi pc connected to it

    i am traveling to my parents and want to use my aiport to get wifi. my fathers computer is not running on wifi. what do i need to do to get my airport to work with his router

    If you have an AirPort Express, you can connect it to his router and create your own wireless "hotspot".
    You will need to configure its "connection sharing" to "off (bridge mode)".
    Make it look like this:

    HP just released a firmware update for my mp1212nf, which does not have wifi. What would be the step by step process t getting AirPrint going. I am using a comcast business class router, so the airport is in bridge mode. I cannot get the printer to obtain an ip address when it is hooked directly to the airport router and am wondering if it's the printer or the airport, because I've never used an airport in bridge mode and don't know if this setting prevents wired clients from joining the network.

    This is what is required for AiPrint,

  • Ethernet apple tv 2? Can I use the enthernet port on the apple tv to connect other non wifi item to my wifi network? Much like a Airport express?

    Is anyone using the apple tv 2 to connect other items to a home wifi network through the apple tvs ethernet port? I know you can use airport express to do this and I am already else where at home. Is this even possible? Can you run The HDMI cable to your tv and the optical cable to sound system at the same time?

    ATV2 has no router capabilities - it is a client device.

    yes.

  • FIVESPOT connected via wifi to non-wifi enabled computer.  What do I need?

    I have a fivespot.
    I own several devices and would like to be able to use them simultaneously.  I cannot do this right now because the fivespot has to be plugged in via USB to get internet on my desktop computer.  My desktop is not wifi enabled.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Questions About WiFi Interference

    I'm having connectivity issues. I upgraded to an 'n' router about 3-4 mos. ago (a Belkin N300) and was experiencing intermittent connectivity with my MBP and iBook G4, while my work computer (Windows) has had no issues.
    Switching to channel 11 seemed to take care of it for a couple of months, but the issue came back about 2 weeks ago. I've read through the support article about troubleshooting interference issues. And yet, it seems odd that the Windows machines are running without a hitch. So here are my questions:
    Is it common for channel interference to impact computers/ OS differently or is there something else going on?
    Short of switching to a dual band router, like the AEBS, is there something else I could/ shoud do to fix this problem?
    (Assuming I need to get a dual-band router, any recommendations are appreciated.)
    Thanks

    Much obliged, Aussie.
    Well, I'd say yes to that. Based on the fact that they might be in different locations physically, therefore be closer / further away from the interference.
    We do have cordless - one about 8 ft. away from where the MBP usually sits -but I've used the PCs in the same space and the close proximity of the phoneshas never been an issue for them (not to beat a dead horse).
    And for what it's worth, I've not noticed any correlation between theconnectivity issues and where the computer is sitting. Right now I'm sitting roughly20' away from the phone and still having connection issues where it will completely drop the connection and then comes back on its own after several minutes. I think the onlyother potential source of interference in this room is an old WinXP desktop that we hardly ever turn on.
    So if it's not dual-band, I'm presuming that you have it set to 'n compatible, so it will slow down to g if some g device connects to it? Force it onto n.
    Right now I have the router set to compatibility with b, g & n though the only 'g' computer we have in the house is my old iBook G4, which is rarely connected, much less used. Taking your advice would require getting a new 'n' adapter for the iBook, right? That is, unless I upgraded to a dual-band.
    And I'll just have a guess and say that you have cordless phones lying around the house. Remove them. Isolate anything outputting frequency.
    Doing away with the cordless phones doesn't seem likely to go over too well, so will probably upgrade to a dual band router.
    Once again, thanks for your guidance.

  • Bluetooth and wifi interference using old model airport?

    I have an older model airport express which operates only on 802.11g. I'm experiencing dropout on my playstation bluetooth headphones and controller.  I suspect these devices operate on the same frequency. Would upgrading my airport express to a new model solve this problem?
    Thanks

    Possibly. However, I would try changing Radio Channels on your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) first before making any new purchases. There are basically only three non-overlapping channels that I would suggest that you try: 1, 6, or 11 (Note: I am assuming that you are in the US.)
