Porblem with WGXB102 (wireless range extender) and imac

Everytime my imac sleeps it can't access the internet using the WGXB102, however I can switch directly to the router with my old setup and the internet works. The only way I get the extender to work is to reset the main netgear router. How can I get the extender to work after the computer goes to sleep?

Yes there are some issues with the Wireless Range Extender version 3.0 ...related to IP Conflict ... but they can be resolved by upgrading the firmware of the Range Extender .....
You can use Range Extedner version 2.0 & 3.0 ....

WUMC710 could play as wireless range extender & Bridge role at same time?

If using bridge WUMC710, could it play the role as a wireless range extender for my wireless devices and at same time also as bridge to connect wired devices such as internet ready TV with router?

Hi,
The WUMC710 is only designed as a wireless bridge. There's no option to set it up as a repeater - bridge. Even DD-WRT don't have it on their compatible hardware list - only WAP54G. You might be interested on this DD-WRT Wiki article: Linking Routers: Repeater Bridge.
Check this table for comparison with current Linksys wireless bridges:

Express or Extreme better wireless range extender?

I own the latest Airport Extreme as my base station. I also own a prior, 5th generation Extreme 802.11n, and a prior generation Airport Express 802.11n (the one that plugs directly into the wall). Two questions:
-- Which of these two would be a more effective wireless range extender for my base station?
-- Would there be any disadvantage (eg diluting the signal) to using them both, in different locations in my house?
Thanks.

-- Which of these two would be a more effective wireless range extender for my base station?
The AirPort Extreme has a better antenna arrangement, so it would normally work better.
-- Would there be any disadvantage (eg diluting the signal) to using them both, in different locations in my house?
The network slows down a bit with each wireless device, but the effect of having greater wireless coverage will probably disguise that.
Most users would rather have better wireless range, even if they must give up a bit of speed.

Wireless range extender

I am connecting wirelessly using a range extender and am finding media streaming a problem. When I connect direct to the router everything is fine, but media is slow and buffers going through the range extender. I can't find a problem, tried various different channels but no joy. My download speed is the same though the extender too.

I was having some issues with my range so I got a range extender(Wireless N Router). I got a wired line from verizon router and connect new router. Everything is perfect. However maximum connection I can get is 24 MBPS, my line is 50 and I do get them when I connect with wired line. Just wondering if anything I could do so I can get more then 25 MBPS using wireless. New device is N so it can do more I know.
Should I upgrade verizon Fios router?
Make the security wpa2 aes and set the connection to be wireles-n only

Using Airport as a range extender and LAN bridge.

Does the airport express act as a range extender and provide a LAN access bridge at the same time? I want to use it to connect my blu ray player to wifi, but also as a range extender for my google tv.

The AirPort Express can extend the wireless range of another AirPort: Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule. The Express can also perform as a wireless Ethernet bridge. As an Ethernet bridge, the Express can join another wireless network and its Ethernet port can provide network connectivity for wired clients.

TS3048 I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac

I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac. Sometimes the keys seem to have a life of their own and I get a string of the same letter or symbol even though I only pressed the key once. Does anyone know how to rectify this?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
If that does not help, the KB is probably failing.

Frustration! I have all igoods in order to use all, fully as should be. But looks like Softbank does no agree with any connection between iPhone and iMac... What in the world! How Apple let that happen???

Belkin Wireless Range Extender (F5D7132)?

I've just bought a Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender (model: F5D7132) and am trying to get it to extend the range of our D-Link wireless network.
According to Belkin's installation guide, I simply need to place the unit next to my current wireless modem/router, hold down an 'Auto Connect Button' for 10 seconds, and the Belkin unit will then automatically extend the range of the D-Link.
Sadly, this hasn't happened, and Belkin's help pages are of zero use.
Does anybody have this unit? If so, are you able to point me in the correct direction to connect the unit to wirelessly extend my D-Link unit?

Hello, thanks BDAcqua, it is encouraging to hear from you. I will try to clarify the problem I am having. It is fairly simple to describe: Whenever I place my laptop within range of our Access Point(repeater), my Internet connection fails, server fails, etc., everything fails concerning Internet access, even though my Airport is showing full reception of the wireless signal. The wireless signal is coming through loud and clear, I am just unable to use it for anything whatsoever. Only if I remove my laptop from the range of the AP and place myself close to the 'main' wireless router am I able to go online(wirelessly). I can go online with Airport successfully anywhere I get reception except with the new AP we have set up here. The new AP at present works fine only with Windows OS.
I tried what you suggest in your reply and entered the two DNS server numbers, but no change yet.
I can still just get online if I stay very close to our primary router's signal. Any idea what I could try next? I did connect to Apple at router, but not at the AP.
Does this define the problem I'm having more clearly?
Thanks, jb

Verizon Wireless Network Extender and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Customer Service experience

It was a dark and stormy night...
For the past eight years, I had been happy with Verizon wireless service. Great coverage and rarely a dropped call. However, all of that changed when I moved into a lovely mid-century modern condominium. The solid concrete walls and ceilings were blocking my attempts to communicate with the outside world (i.e. order pizza).
Enter the Verizon Wireless Network Extender! My own personal cell tower! Alas, the VWNE was $250, which was a lot of money. So, being the resourceful recycling advocate that I am, I procured a refurbished one and hooked it up to my network. Then I called Verizon to begin what would soon become one of the Bottom 10 Least Enjoyable Experiences in customer service history (note: obvious foreshadowing).
The first technician I spoke with was Benjamin, who was actually quite helpful. He noted the VWNE's MAC address and other information before attempting to allow me to access my unit. But he could not. Why? Apparently the unit was still registered to another Verizon customer. He told me the matter would be forwarded to "Verizon Correspondence Support" who would contact the registered owner and get their approval to reassign the unit.
A week later, I called in to ask about the status of my request, but was told by Darryl (another tech from the VWNE department) that the "Verizon Correspondence Support" department did not exist. Did. Not. Exist? Fine, I explained the situation again, and Darryl eventually told me he would submit a special access form which may resolve the problem. He apologized for the mixup, thanked me for my patience, and told me to wait 24-48 hours for his return call with the results.
120 hours later, I called to ask about the status of the change access form because I had not received a callback. Michelle, another representative of VWNE support, told me there was no record of this form having been submitted. No. Record...? After which, she made no effort to help me after reading through my transcript. In fact, quite the opposite. To paraphrase...
"I'm sorry we wasted two weeks of your time leading you to believe we had a solution. Actually, there is no Verizon Correspondence Department, there is no special access form, and no tech will be calling you back. Furthermore, I will not allow you to use our unit because the previous owner hasn't filled out Release Form 27B stroke 6. For all I know it might have been stolen. Perhaps by you? I guess we'll never know for sure, because I won't contact the owner for any reason. In fact, there is nothing I can do to help you whatsoever. But if you like, feel free to throw our network adapter in a landfill. Thank you and have a nice day."
OK Michelle, here's the deal. I don't even WANT this doohickey. You see, all I want is for my phone to work. That's why I am calling you. To get THIS piece of your equipment working, at my expense, so that I can continue to be a Verizon customer. Seems like I'm doing my part. Why is this so difficult?
"Sorry"
Lesson of the story? DON'T BE A MICHELLE. If a customer is in trouble and you can't solve his/her problem, contact a supervisor and work out an alternative. In my example, perhaps Verizon could have provided me with an "official" VWNE? At a discount? Or have a technician sent out to examine the signal? Really, *anything* is better than being brushed off. After being brushed off.
After being brushed off.

Follow up: I acquired another VWNE from a local seller, just in case he had to be contacted for the Nuclear Priority Phone Release Code (geez). Ironically, it wasn't necessary, because said fellow had already left Verizon after too many negative customer service issues. Oops.
The good news is that Verizon was able to properly activate the second unit. I was connected to a VWNE tech named Bertha who was VERY helpful and treated me like a human being. Which made all the difference and restored my faith in humanity. I requested that my story be relayed to upper management so that the hordes of secondhand VWNE buyers wouldn't also get burned by Verizon's "hands off and look elsewhere" policy. Bingo. Finally. Done.
Epilogue: Until Verizon eases up on their needlessly stringent policy, beware the unchecked VWNE! Be sure to get the MAC code and check it with a local store/tech support before buying it.

Range extender and wired connection - which setup

Hi,
I would like to realize the following. I have a main router which creates a wireless network on the first floor. There are two problems I want to solve. The first is I want to extend the wireless network on the second floor (it should have the same SSID). The second thing is that I want to connect my laptop and two NAS to the same network via cable, because I want gigabit speed. Unfortunately i can't attach the NAS to the main router because I have to keep them on the second floor.
Is this possible? Which linksys devices do I need?
Kind regards.

You could get this:
http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/rangeexpanders/RE6500
or use one of these to bridge for best performance and use Gb connection rates:
http://store.linksys.com/Linksys-WRT1900AC-Open-Source-Wireless-Router_stcVVproductId158014980VVcatI...
or
http://store.linksys.com/Routers/Linksys-EA6900-App-Enabled-AC1900-Dual-Band-Wireless-Router-with-Gi...
as I believe these are both wireless bridged able and do support Gb connected rates on the LAN ports.
These might depend on how good your main host router is. What is the Mfr and model of the main host router?
Any chance of running a LAN cable upstairs to a GB switch instead? Thats a preferred method for best performance for NAS and video streaming.

Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
My current setup in my house is:
- A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
- A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
Can you help me out?

No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

Printing problem with Photoshop CS 6 extended and HP printer

Hi all, long time browser, first time poster.
This is a weird issue, it should be noted from the first that I only have weird computer issues. I work at a technical High School where we have the whole Adobe CS6 Extended suite installed. We are running it under a fully patched version of Windows 7 and all the CS6 updates have been applied on 25 machines that all have the same issue. The problem is that when the students go to print to our HP Color Laser jet CP6015DN, the job can been seen loading into the queue, it races up to about 45MB, then sort of strolls to load the rest of the document, usually about 59 to 75 MB's in size. Then I watch the message go to processing, the front panel of the printer says processing, then the print job disappears from the printer queue and the printer and there is no print out. I printed out the usage job log and it shows none of the failed attempts to print and I check the event log page which does not show the errors either.
Looks like a bad printer driver, right? So I download the new HP Universal printer driver, I normally do not do the Universal driver route as so many of my older printers have problems with it, but the CP6015DN seems to have trouble accessing the extended tray 5 with the specific drivers, but I have the same printing issue with the new Universal driver and the PS driver. So I wander through the HP manual and it suggests using profiles to print to the printer and move the color handling from Printer Manages Colors to Photoshop manages colors and I track down the ICC profiles for the printer on the HP site as the link in the book is dead, so try the CP6015srgb_d50.icc, CP6015_cmyk_d50.icc and CP6015.icc, I try all of these profiles with the newest PS printer driver and the same error, goes to the printer and into the bit bucket. Still no printout or error message.
Strange thing is that if I do a test print, it prints fine, if I open a tif file in Photoshop, it prints fine, now the teacher says if they print to the Xeorx 7760 in the next room, it also prints out fine. It should be noted that we had so many issues with configuring the Xerox and adjusting controls it was the reason we purchased a HP proofing printer in the first place. But the next door lab is all Apple, which doesn't seem to have this issue. So I open the test document and save it as a PDF file instead the native Photoshop format, and it prints fine, which from what I've been reading on the internet may be the preferred way of printing proofs, I don't know, I've never really used Photoshop, but the teacher says this isn't an acceptable fix and the students should be expected to manage a number of revisions saved to PDF format, me I just go up a number at the end of the file name for every correction when editing documents.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Windows 7 X64
Photoshop version 13.0.1 x64
HP Color Laserjet CP6015 DN model number Q3932A
Dell Optiplex 980 i5-650, 3.2Ghz, 8 GB RAM.

Yes, Photoshop is up to date at Version 13.0.6. I have even gone so far as to uninstall CS 6 and put CS 5 back on and still the same thing. This is really frustrating, the people at Canon try to be helpful but wind up saying it's an Adobe problem and of course you can't talk to real people anymore about CS 6. My research on the Internet has turned up nothing so I'm stuck.

Just bought AC1200 or RE6500 range extender and it won't connect

I called Support and after a lengthy chat they assured me that the steady white light means it's working. However, it never asked for ANY setup or wifi password into my modem so I don't agree. Also, I have a dropcam that is the reason we bought this and it's not working any better than before...so how can I REALLY tell if the range extender is working?

This is a similar problem that I am having. My RE6500 appears to be working. I went through the setup process but once complete my laptop says I have no connection. However it shows that I am connected based on the Icon at the bottom of the screen. If I unplug the RE6500 then I am able to connect to the existing Wifi but otherwise if the RE6500 is turned on I cannot connect. I restored factory defauts and tried again and the same thing happened. One thing that I did not realize. I only have 2.4 Ghz. I do not have 5.0. Not sure if this relevant but it is a dual band extender.

Wifi range extender and iPad

Which wifi range extender works with i-pad OIS7.0.4? Netgear WN3000RP does not. Tnx

Thanks to the Apple technician I reached by phone, we found the solution. The solution is to tell the i-pad to forget the main network. The i-pad then then uses automatically the extended network only.
