Problem extending range

I live in new York and with cable vision boost am now able to get download speeds of over30 mb/s from time capsule as long as I am within the 2.4 ghz range - I got an older base station model mb053ll a to extend the range of the network but even though it is supposed to have a setting to repeat the the same speed it is returning only at 10 mb/s - I suspect it is set at the 5 ghz speed but cannot find any setting options -- any tips?

Welcome to the discussion area!
Is the older AirPort Extreme extending by using an ethernet connection or are you using wireless to connect?
If you are using wireless to connect, the extending device will automatically extend the signal that it receives. Therefore, if the speed has fallen off by the time the signal reaches the location of the Express, that is what will be extended. In other words, the device can only extend what it receives. It does not "boost" the speed, it extends the signal.
The device is no doubt extending the 2.4 GHz band. You can verify this by locating your Mac near the device and holding down the option key while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. You'll see the Channel that is currently being used. If it's 1-11, then it's using the 2.4 GHz band.

  • How to calculate query value on extended range of data

    Hi,
    This is my first post, so let me greet all forum users. I'm reading the forum for few weeks and I'm really impressed with the force of this community.
    My question is based on some real problems but I'll ask in general:
    In a BEx query - is it possible (and how?) in a result cell to obtain value that is calculated based on some more extended range of infoprovider records than it results from all the characteristics related to that cell?
    The question is somehow about a reverse case to the restriction in Selection. I'm asking about a kind of 'extension' of selection.
    Example for the question follows (it is somehow simple, I put it here just to picture the problem, note: the question is more general!)
    cube: ch: 0CALMONTH, 0MATERIAL, 0PLANT
          kf: 0QUANTITY (ex. of outgoing deliveries)
    What I need is to obtain in any query the SUM(0QUANTITY) over all 0PLANT (this can lead to knowing the 'activity' of the specific plant by calculating the share. that activity can be calculated at diferent level of detail).
    The 'dream' query would look like:
    rows: 0CALMONTH, 0MATERIAL, 0PLANT      
    cols: 0QUANTITY  SUM_OVER_0PLANT
    resulting in ex:
    0CALMONTH  0MATERIAL  0PLANT  0QUANTITY  SUM_OVER_0PLANT  PLANT_ACTIVITY
    2005.01    00001      P100    10         30               1/3

    2005.01    00002      P200    40         70               4/7

    P100    160        360              16/36
    P200    200        360              20/36
    For this specific case I investigated several solutions:
    1) using formula & function SUMCT (Result). This has a drawback that Result for 0PLANT must be present in right place (bottom level) in the resulting query. I don't like this.
    2) SUM can be directly precalculated in the cube. Well, I'd prefer Bex only...
    Please keep in mind also following:
    1) there may be a need to refer to the data that is outside prompt/filtering/restricting range.
    2) I want to preserve all the OLAP freedom, so all the solution should be a query with some tricky formula/kf/??? to be used by user in any situation and producing right result.
    I hope I'm not demanding to much...
    (now after this long example please have a look at the question again!)
    Regards,
    Mirek

    Hi Ashwin,
    while using SUMCT I loose the freedom of OLAP. SUMCT calculates properly SUM_OVER_0PLANT only when the 0PLANT is the lowest drillin level. If this is not the case (ie. some other ch is the lowest level or 0PLANT results are suppressed) the approach won't provide right result.
    sure I will reward all helpfull posts.
    regards,
    Mirek

    You need to enable VTP V3 on all the switches. If one of your switch is VTPV1 capable only, it will not able to inter-operate with VTP V3.
    Please look at these guidelines for 2960.

    Hi All,

    Database 11.2.0.3
    I am trying to extend the 3 VOs related to ViewReceiptsSearch.  I extended a seeded ViewReceiptsSearchVO view object.  I haven't made any changes yet, no columns added, nothing altered.  When I run this substitution, the "Received" column is null.  This column in the view used for the view object only selects NULL and uses the getter method for the attribute to populate the value.  The generated extension getter calls getAttributeInternal and skips the logic in the standard getter and the substituted view object is displaying the null in the screen.  The below discussion explains the problem very well except that the original posted had the issue in 11.5.10.2.  I am having this issue with 12.1.3.

  • Help Extending Range for Itunes music

    My goal is to get my itunes music from my computer out to my backyard which is over 125 feet away though a few walls. This is what I have: Verizon FiOS, a Time Capsule, newer Airport Express with 802n an an older Airport Express. I've been trying to connect them all to extend range but can't seem to get it to work. First, is it possible with what I have and Second can anyone give me step by step. The last thing I tried to do was use the "extend network" in airport utility. All three have green lights and they show up in the itunes windows but no sound is coming out. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello sierra111. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    My goal is to get my itunes music from my computer out to my backyard which is over 125 feet away though a few walls.
    To cover that distance, you would have to configure your base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS), using the Time Capsule (TC) as the main, one AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as the relay, and the other AX as the remote base station in this WDS.
    I've been trying to connect them all to extend range but can't seem to get it to work
    Unfortunately, you won't be able to take advantage of the "extend" feature as this is only available for the 802.11n AirPorts. Since you will adding an 802.11b/g model, you are limited to a WDS ... which only operates in the non-"n" radio mode.
    Here are the basic steps to set up the WDS:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
    Main Base Station Setup - TC
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
    o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    o Select the TC, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the relay base station (AX#1).
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Relay Base Station Setup - AX#1
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to join the wireless network created by AX#1.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select AX#1, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the TC from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS relay” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the TC in the Main AirPort ID field.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the remote base station (AX#2) this relay base station will connect to.
    o Click Update to transfer the new WDS settings to the relay and remote base stations.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AX#2
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by AX#2.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and again, choose the same channel as the TC.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of AX#1 in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Airport Express to Extend Range of Airport Extreme 802.11 ac???

    Hi:
    We just installed a new Airport Extreme 802.11 ac. I would like to extend range within the house with our older Airport Express. I plug in the Airport Express (model A1264) 1 m away from the Extreme, but the light just blinks yellow on the Express. When one turns to Airport Utility, the box in the top left (Other Wi-Fi Devices) shows no other discovered options. Is this 802.11 n Express not compatible with my new 802.11 ac extreme, or am I doing something stupid/wrong?
    Thanks!

    Tried soft and hard reboots on the Express.  I now have a slowly flashing yellow light.
    But, Airport Utility under the tab "Other Wi-Fi Devices" still lists nothing.
    Airport Utility in the main window has a globe with a green dot next to the word "Internet" under it.
    There is a vertical line under the globe going to an icon of my brand new Airport Extreme that has a green dot under it and the name of the Airport Extreme.
    My iMac is connected to the internet via an ethernet cable (Wi-Fi is off).
    This is the same configuration I had with my old Base Station, but for some reason the Airport Express doesn't show up in Airport Utility with my new Airport Extreme as the base station and I have no idea how to use Airport Express as a range extender.
    Again, thank you for your advice and help.

  • How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    How does one sync the new time capsule with the old airport extreme and airport express in order to extend range?

    Thanks for the additional information.
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Utility application in the Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems, which is used to configure the new Time Capsule does not support the older versions of the products that you have.
    Even if it did, there are no settings on the older AirPorts to "Extend a wireless network", so they are not compatible with the new Time Capsule if you intend to extend the network only using wireless connections.
    If you have the ability to connect each AirPort to the Time Capsule using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, it might be possible to use a complicated workaround to install an older version of AirPort Utility to configure the older AirPorts to work with the new Time Capsule.
    If you have another Mac there that is using the Leopard or Snow Leoapard operating system, things would likely be simpler. I have not done this type of procedure to mix a new Time Capsule with older AirPorts, so I would not be able to say whether this would work or not.

  • Problem with extending range

    I have two airport express routers connected wirelessly using extend a wireless network. one of them connects to a adsl modem via ethernet. The problem is that one of the routers (the one extending the range) needs to restart every day, sometomes twice a day. both are running 7.5.2. This is annoying anyone have a solution to avoid restarts?
    One of the routers is new (latest) while the other is a bit older(1 to 1.5  years old) could that be causing the problem?

    Without knowing anything about the distance involved between the two Expess devices, or the number and kind of obstructions that may be in the signal path, we can't provide much in the way of suggested improvements.
    In general, users tend to place the "extending" Express much too far away from the main router. A good starting point is a location that is about 1/2 the distance from the main router to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
    The reason for this is that the "extending" Express can only repeat or extend the bandwidth that it receives from the main router. It does not "boost" the signal....it makes the signal that it receives go further. In that regard, it acts much more like a repeater.
    If you want get a bit more scientific about things, the way to do that is conduct a survey of SNR or Signal to Noise Ratio at various points to find the best compromise location for the extending AirPort Express.
    Post back if you are interested in this.

  • How to set-up new Airport Express to extend range of Airport Extreme

    Purchased a new Airport Express to use it as a range extender on existing home network with an operating Airport Extreme base station. While I've read instructions, I'm unclear whether the Express needs to be connected by ethernet cable for its initial setup, or can I simply plug it and initialize it wirelessly onto the same household network? (I've tried the latter but without success).

    to edex67 and Bob Timmons:
    My objective is to extend the wireless range of the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly - so I do appreciate that the Airport Express would needsto be located haflway between the base station and the "dead zone" area.
    The suggestion of using a Powerline ethernet connection to the Airport Express has merit (especially as I have one available).
    I continue to use OSX 10.6.8 - does this affect my set-up in any way?
    My problem had been - and remains - how to configure the Airport Express in range extend mode - I did click these boxes on both the Extreme base station and the Express, however the Express still has flashing amber lights and error codes - one indicating no internet availability on the Airport Express.

  • How can I use AirportExtreme to extend range of iMac based AirportNetwork ?

    I've read a lot of infomation about using Airport Extreme or Express to extend a network that has an Airport Extreme base station as its 'hub' via WDS, but nothing about the case where the 'hub' (that creates the network and is connected to the internet) is not a base station, but a computer.
    I have a cable modem connected directly (Ethernet) to my iMac G5. My MacBookPro can connect to the internet via an Airport network created by the iMac, but i need to extend the range of this. A friend has given me an Airport Extreme that he isn't using and I have spent all day trying to get it to connect to the iMacs network ... to act as a 'relay', but can't see how to do it.
    (I can get the iMac, and MacBookPro to connect to a network created by the Airport Extreme with no problems, but not the other way round) .... Please help, i'm going crazy with this !

    Hi SGIII,
    I just wanted to say thanks for kick starting me. I am well on my way to accomplishing this task with some modifications to the Applescript source you provided. I figured out that I would need to loop through the input and lookup each individual character in the dictionary (so I created a separate service to handle simple dictionary lookup). I parse the definition using your suggested code wrapped into a function, and then append the output. Right now it's close but not perfect: showing this output for the characters above:
    "wǒshìAměiAguórén" (the A is wrong and the reason is that I need to change the delimiter to factor that some definitions will have a capital A in them). I will share the finished script on my pastebin.
    ----on run {input, parameters}
    set my_string to "我是美国人" --input
    set output to ""
    repeat with counter_variable_name from 1 to count of my_string
      set current_character to item counter_variable_name of my_string
      set current_definition to do shell script "automator -i " & current_character & " ~/Library/Services/GetChineseDefinition.workflow"
      set output to output & parseForPinyin(current_definition)

  • Extend range of unencrypted WLAN of third party router *without* using WDS

    Hello,
    Imagine the following scenario for which I would like to find a solution -- but I think it's impossible, so I'm looking for hints:
    My neighbour operates an open (unencrypted, unprotected) wireless network that I can use. He uses a third party WLAN router that does not support WDS. I have good reception only in a certain area in our house, so I would like to extend the range of the network, using my Airport Express station (or possibly other hardware).
    I cannot make changes to the configuration of my neighbours router anyway, because we don't know the password for the configuration pages (and we don't want to reset the device to factory defaults).
    I know that normally one would configure the two routers (his and mine) to use WDS (each knows the other's MAC address, uses the same channel, SSID and encryption setting etc.), but this is not possible here.
    I could join his network with my powerbook wirelessly and then set up sharing preferences on the powerbook such that the WLAN internet connection would be shared onto the ethernet port to which I would connect my Airport Express station to allow wireless access by other machines. This isn't the cleanest setup because I think my powerbook would have to distribute IP addresses using DHCP and NAT which my neighbour's router does, too, so we should not use the same IP range (e.g. would use 192.168.1.xxx and I would use 10.0.1.xxx) and probably we shouldn't use the same SSID, either.
    Because there's no WDS support, something like the above seems to be the only solution to me, namely: I would have to join his network as a normal client and the redistribute more or less separately (different subnet/different SSID/different IP address range/...).
    Now, the Airport Express can join an existing network as a client, but despite the displayed settings in Airport Admin Utility, bridging to the ehternet port or Airport Express does not work. I have read a lot of Apple documentation, and my understanding is that when setting up Airport Express to join an existing wireless network, the only purpose would be to use it as the receiving end for iTunes music streaming and possibly to connect a printer to it; but the ethernet is completely disabled. (It took me hours to figure this out because the Admin utility clearly suggests that the station would operate as WLAN-ethernet bridge in this setting, but it doesn't.)
    So do you have any other solutions to this problem? WOuld an AIrport Extreme station be capable of doing this?
    I don't want to use my powerbook as the 'bridge' to share the WLAN connection to the ethernet port as described above because that would require my powerbook to be on alll the time and be located in an inconvenient place.
    Thanks for your replies!
    P.S.: I do have some older/other wireless routers available, but I think they're not going to help because they won't allow this rather unusual setting. They're all very basic.
    Powerbook G4 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Airport Express

    WOuld an AIrport Extreme station be capable of doing this?
    No. The only way an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can wirelessly join a network is using WDS. It does not offer the wireless client mode like the AirPort Express (AX).
    Using your PowerBook as you suggested is the only solution using Apple's devices.
    There may be 3rd party repeaters that you can use but I have no experience with them.

Maybe you are looking for
