Ps3 and Xbox 360 already asked many times but no solution works
Hi,
first of all I'd like to share with all of you my real disappoint for having bought this Airport Extreme Base Station. I really hope that someone at Apple will read my post and come to my house because I would have just a few words to tell them.
After 4 years of proficuous cooperation my Netgear WI-Fi router left me and I immediately thought to replace it with an Apple product just to be sure that it would have been easy to install and on top of performances.
I chose the Airport Extreme which is much more expensive than quite all the other same product but I didn't care about it because I would have brang home an excellent product.....or...at least I thought it !
Once in my room the soap opera began. I'm not a genius but I consider myself a medium skilled user and, in any case, even it is not my real job, I configured many bigger LANs than my personal ones and I never had such kidn of problem.
I read many posts where people were asking for information because they couldn't connect their Airport Extreme to their PS3 or Xbox 360 but I never had such kind of problem. It really worked immediately and both consoles worked in few moments.
My REAL problem is that both of them are terribly slow and I can't do anything online. I can't see streming videos, I can't play online and I can't neither play videos that are on a LAN DLNA server !!!!! It takes about 35 seconds to play a video and some times it has to stop for empty buffering reason. This is really unacceptable.
I tried so many configurations and nothing changed and I also took a look at some guides but they had been written with old firmwares so they are quite unuseful for me.
After having asked a friend of mine to give me his router (a Netgear ones) for some days I finally made myself sure that the problem is the Airport Extreme.
It also has a very poor signal because my iPhone has difficulties to keep the connection in areas where my old router worked fully.
If only I could turn back time I'd never buy it again but now, having spent to useless my money, could you please let me know a working configuration for the latest firmware 7.4.2 ? I tried to use the previous firmware but I have the same problems.
There is only a wall separating the Airport Extreme from the PS3 and Xbox and both of them get a 100% of signal but I really don't know what to do.
Thanks for all the help you could provide me.
Bye.
Christian
Sorry but I have no way to measure the actual throughput for any of my devices (I have 2 Xboxes which have the same problem and even my iPhone suffer of a bad connection).
In any case I really can't understand why the connection is so bad. I can even get in touch with my ISP to ask them if there is some problem with the connection (maybe a coincidence and the Airport Extreme has nothing to do with it ?????) but the facts remain: even my DLNA server and PS3 connection is slow and I can't clearly see the movies I have in my intenal LAN and also the iPhone show a poor connection to the Airport Extreme and it is because of the Extreme for sure.
I really don't know what to do.

And disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone
My iPhone 4 is interpreting that the headset is conected even if it isnt. I've already reset it, conected and disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone in Canada. Does it have a garantee? Is there anything I'm missing in adjusting my iPhone?
It may not be your computer telling you this, it is probably the company providing the shows to you over the Internet. If that is the case, no setting on your computer can change it because the media company is going by your network address (IP address), which is where your Internet modem (cable or DSL) connects to the outside Internet. If the location of your Internet connection appears to be outside the US (even if it is mistake), media companies that distribute shows under contracts with geographical restrictions may lock you out.
If you use a service like a VPN service, you may have the ability to use IP addresses from other countries so that you can appear to be connecting from there. But it takes some setting up. -

i can't open video file in the page , i download and install flash many time but don't work , i use Firefox 5 and windows 7
My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say? -

I downloaded iOS7 in my iphone4 but to install I need to accept the Terms and Conditions. I accepted many times but it doesn't proceed. Stocked.
I updated the software on my iphone4 tonight and ran into this same endless loop - "itunes terms & conditions have been changed" - go to itunes, aceept - back to the "T&C have been changed message" with no ability to do anything in the app store until I accepted the new terms.
While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do). After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song. Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop.
Hope this helps!!! -

PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.
I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
Thanks,
Ryancheck out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3.. -
Help - WRT400n how do I get better hard wired speeds on PS3 and Xbox 360
I wanted to get better speeds while playing on-line on the PS3. I bought the WRT400n router (I had the WRT54G) and it seems to be working ok. I just hardwired the ps3 and the speeds are a little slower. Wireless I was getting 12.0 Mbps down and 1.0 Mbps up, now wired I am now gettiner 10.0Mbps down and 2.0 Mbps up. I numbers are lower wired, how come? I have a new Cat 5 cable and I just had a direct cable dedicated to the router put in. I thought I was going to see much better speeds. Can anyone help me out? I am very confused about the the speeds. People were telling me when I hardwired I would get get speeds up to 50 to 100. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks..............On your Router setup page, below change the MTU size to 1365 and below click on Save Settings, then click on the Wireless tab and below change the Wireless Channel to 11 and click on Save Settings, then click on the sub tab under wireless "Advance Wireless Settings" and below Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Once you are with this settings, then click on the 'Security" tab and below Uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings...
Now unplug the power from the Router and Modem,wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to the Modem and once all the lights are solid then plug the power to the Linksys Router. Now you can check the speed on your XBOX. -

"ace casino" so many times i make formting to iphone and some time restore bye itunes but these game wont to open whit may iphone . its open and close fast
so palse hlep meTry restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

It is any problem with the application vtok? Since I update my iPad2 system to iOS6.0 I was unable to use this application. The problem is when I tap on the vtok icon, the application opens and closes right away. I removed and reinstall the application twice, but this doesn't fix the problem. When I try to find the application on application store, it's give me a message that the vtok application is not available in USA.
Not available in Spain either. I can't find anything googling for this problem, Vtok's page and facebook page seem to be unmaintained.
It is strange such a widely used app doesn't show life signals.
Good luck -

Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360
Hello All,
I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
Thank you!By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.
