Query regarding internet connection on PB

I have a PB but dont have a wifi or BB smartphone with me. Thinking to buy one smartphone may be samsung note or S2.. Jut wanted 2 know if its compulsory to have BB smartphoone to bridge with PB for accessing internet on PB or even with other smartphones like Samsung Note or S2 also i can access internet on Playbook...

Yes the Samsung Galaxy Note allows you to create a personal hotspot to enable the PB to connect to use the internet.
I was able to do so successfully on my son's Samsung Galaxy.
For that matter any smart phones like the iPhone 4s will work too.

  • Regarding internet connection problem during sending e-mail

    Hello,
    I have done 1 java mail application. Sending/Receiving e-mails are working fine. But during the sending, if suppose, internet connection disconnected, how can I handle and re-connect or how can i give the information to user like "internet connection failed. please try to send again"
    please advise.
    thanks

    You'll get an exception, usually a MessagingException with an embedded
    IOException indicating the problem. You can also attach a listener to the
    Store or Transport object.
    Note that, in general, you'll only learn that the network has disconnected
    when you're trying to use it.

  • N82 Query: Which internet connection option to use...

    I have a data bolt on with O2 for 120 mb of monthly internet use. Which of these shall I use to access the web: 02 MMS, O2 MOBILE WEB, 02 WAP GPRS or O2 WAP GPRS STREAM.
    Thanks for any help

    Best would be to use the setting with no proxies or ports. Those work the best for internet.
    Normally labeled "WEB" or "Internet" as the connection name.
    Otherwise simply get your networks APN, create a new connection and simply put in the Acess Point Name you aquired and it should work perfectly.

  • Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection

    This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
    I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
    Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
    I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
    Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
    thanks a bunch

    Well, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
    I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems.

  • My internet connection keeps reverting back to using a manual proxy server configuration pointing at 127.0.0.1 Port 55414. I've tried the help regarding the user.js and prefs.js files but still it continues to revert to the manual proxy configuration!

    I know how to change my network settings to fix my internet connection, I just select "Auto-detect network settings for this network" under Tools, Options, Network, Settings. However every time I close down Firefox it reverts to the manual proxy configuration pointing to 127.0.0.1 Port 55414.
    I've tried all the suggestions under saving your preferences but this hasn't worked so I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't sort this I'll have to revert back to Internet Explorer as this doesn't have this problem!

  • Internet connection problem after migrating from Powerbook G4

    After starting up my friend's new Macbook 2ghz for the first time, I migrated everything from his old Powerbook G4. However on starting the machine for the first time, although the Internet Status suggested his Airport connection to his Netgear router was working and that he was connected to the Internet, this was not the case, as the registration info could not be sent to Apple, the time/date wouldn't update and he could not browse or check e-mail.
    Initially it occurred to me that perhaps the Netgear router didn't like the fact that the same Network settings (IP address) had been given to the Macbook when it had a different MAC address. However this didn't seem to be the case as I was able to add the new Macbook to the list of trusted devices and turn on Access Control, but this still didn't work
    Eventually when I turned off the security settings, so that the password was set to "none", instead of WPA/PSK and then did likewise for the named network on the computer, I was able to get online at long last
    However I don't want to leave the wi-fi system without any password protection for obvious reasons. His Netgear router is a newer model than mine and it had a choice of WPA2, and when I tried this and did likewise on the Macbook it was still working. Yet the matter gets more complicated as he also has a PC on the same wi-fi network and this would not accept the WPA2 setting on the router and I could not get online with the PC
    I dont understand why WPA2 worked on the Macbook but WPA didn't and I need to find a password setting that works for both computers. I don't really understand the WEP option as the encryption choices are 64 and 128 but there's no 64 on the Macbook. More importantly I don't have the foggiest how to get a desired password, as when you put in a "passphrase' and click "generate" the router produces four different keys which are all decidedly impossible to remember and so totally impractical if you need to use these to log on.
    I appreciate that this is a bit of a confusing query but if anyone can offer any assistance., I would be extremely grateful, as after all the time it took me today to suss out actually getting his new Macbook online, I am loathe to mess around without really knowing what I am doing and so I need to find a security option that can be used by the Macbook, his older Powerbook and a PC running Windows XP
    With my utmost thanks in advance for any help you can offer, but please bear in mind I'm a bit of a techno-nincompoop so please be gentle with me
    Many thanks
    Bernard

    Thanks a million for bothering to reply, it's very much appreciated. I rarely seem to get much success when I try searching in Apple support but I guess that must be because I choose the wrong search terms.
    Since all the equipment is relatively new and quite high spec, I believe I should be able to use the WPA format and it's a matter of finding an arrangement that works with both the PC and the Macs. What I don't understand is why the Macbook appeared to be connected to the internet with a WPA password, but wouldn't in fact get online, until I either changed to no password, or to WPA2?
    However I'm extremely grateful to you because those docs all proved well worth reading, if only so I might understand some of the technical gobbledigook (the avoidance of which was one of the principal reasons I became a Mac evangelist in the first place), as the whole password encryption thing has always been a complete mystery to me, hence for my own wi-fi set-up, I long ago settled for hiding the network and turning on the trusted devices access control, just to avoid having to deal with any of this technobabble. However my mate wants people to be able to log on to his network if they turn up with a laptop, but at the same time prevent totally open access to his internet connection to all and sundry, so this is not an option.
    What really bugs me is that the interface for the Netgear modem/router (and any other router I've had experience with) never seems to work properly on an Apple, no matter what browser I use and having sold his family on the whole Apple experience, it's usually a bit embarrassing to have to squeeze my mercifully narrow backside into a baby's chair in order to use their PC to resolve any router issues (as the PC is only there for the kids to play games). But invariably it's only by using the browser interface on the PC that all the various options seem to work
    Again much appreciate you going to the bother and the fact that there is relevant stuff in the support library leads me to believe I should attempt to find some more details which might resolve the WPA difficulties I've experienced with the new Macbook.
    Meanwhile, although I am not so keen on the new glossy screen on the Macbook (I'm amazed you can't have the option of a matt one unless you get a bigger Macbook Pro), you've no idea how envious I am having to set up his new toy when I can't afford one myself. Mind you, the last time I told this bloke that if he wanted decent support for his iPod, he'd have to buy me one, he returned from the US with a 60gb model to match his (sadly pre-video iPods), so perhaps I should make matters more complicated by installing Boot Camp and Windows, so that I have to tell him that I can't offer support over the phone without one of my own
    Kind Regards

  • New FIOS customer with dropped VOIP calls and Internet connection

    I am a new FIOS customer. Got my 50/25 connection a week ago, switching from a TWC 6/1 connection. Ever since the new connection, I've had numerous issues.
    My VOIP (Ooma) connection constantly drops and re-connects during conversations
    I've had random Internet connection losses, which picks up again after a few minutes
    My home alarm starts chirping every once in a while
    I've contacted Verizon several times due to these problems and have received varying answers with no resolution of the problem.
    The first time I spoke with support, the tech logged into my router and changed the WiFi channel saying that would fix the problem. It didn’t.
    The second time I contacted them, the tech ran a bunch of diagnostics and said everything looked fine so it must be an IP address conflict with my devices, because I had a couple devices using static IP addresses. He said everythinf should be DHCP and the last two digits could not be higher than 99 (192.168.1.99). He said FIOS does not support 3-digit numbers at the end.
    So I changed all my devices to DHCP and ran some online VOIP tests. It showed a packet loss of 2-5% and MOS score of 1 (which is bad). I was still getting dropped connections, so I disconnected all devices and connected just one computer to the router and tested again. I was still getting packet loss.
    Then I called support a third time, this time the tech said there were no 2-digit IP restrictions and that he was detecting there was no UPS baterry backup for the ONT which was probably causing the problem, so he dispatched a field tech to my house.
    Today the field tech came (same guy as before), he took one look at the box and said it was too close to my Electric meter and the RF from the meter was causing interference to the FIOS connection and resulting in dropped connection.
    He moved the ONT to another location and said that should fix it.
    Well, I'm still seeing packet loss and low MOS score when I run the VOIP test.
    I don't know how much of what the techs are saying is true and how much is made up stuff.
    Has anyone had similar issues and have thoughts on solutions or likely causes for dropped VOIP calls and connections? Could RF be causing this?
    I thought going from a 6/1 Cable connection to a 50/25 FIOS connection would be awesome, but this has turned out to be a nightmare, and I may have to switch back to cable if the problem is not resolved.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    Don't know where the packet loss is happening. I ran the VOIP test on myspeed.visualware.com and it shows a packet loss of 2-5% at different times and a MOS score of 1.
    The report says MOS should be around 4 for good VOIP calls.
    The Verizon tech who came to the house just blamed the electric meter box for RF interference and move the ONT farther away.
    My concern is that I'm getting different answers from different techs at Verizon.
    Regarding IP addresses. The Router shows a DHCP range from 192.162.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 as available for devices on the network. So, if I need to assign a static IP to a device should I use a number below 99 or above 151?
    Thanks!

  • WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router

    Hello.  Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length...  I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please...  I am sorry...):  Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily.  My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all. 
    I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers...  They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer.  I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely.  I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else.  They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access.  Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband. 
    Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix.  Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately.  Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made?  I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running.  Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection?  The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune.  I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please... 
    It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations:  Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.). 
    I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work.  I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please...  When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct.  I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help.  IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X 
    I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade.  But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware.  However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD.  McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why. 
       I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported.  I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections.  Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean?  Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file?  I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it.  My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems... 
    Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
    (Router product page:  http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
    Actual file:  http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
    to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router.  I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options:  Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband.  I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing. 
       It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process.  I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding.  The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again."  How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing?  I'm entirely confused.  Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again?  Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard?  Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup? 
    Update of sorts:  I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable.  Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router.  However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.).  Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done. 
    Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot: 
    IP Address    = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
    Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255
    DNS Servers = 68.28.90.91
                               68.28.82.91
    Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in router: 
    IP Address    = 192.168.1.1XX
    Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
    DHCP Server      = 192.168.1.1
    DNS Servers      = 192.168.1.1
    Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard.  I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?).  On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded.  I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not.  On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it.  My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X). 
    Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways:  I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL.  Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens...  AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be.  I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK.  Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts.  Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert.  I didn't change any settings anywhere. 
       I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100   It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?).  During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works.  I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else.  I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior.  Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is... 
    Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please...  Thank you! 
    Solved!

    Hello.  It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry.  There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me...  You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed.  I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry... 
    After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans.  One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router.  I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since...  Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did.  There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement. 
    Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco.  Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds.  I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please.  I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters. 
    I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things.  I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time.  Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning. 
    That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again.  It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this.  To answer the first very good idea you made:  Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time).  I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember...  It was a brilliant idea though, thank you... 
    I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it...  Thank you...  I think, and hope this matter is solved.  It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it.  Thank you...  Peace... 

  • Using HP ePrint with mobile phone internet connection

    Hello, I have a peculiar problem.
    I have an HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One series printer and I want to set up HP ePrint.
    I have internet connection for my laptop computer, which is the computer I use. It too is a HP. To set up your HP ePrint account you need the printer's code number which can be printed from the printer's control panel. Once you have the printer code, you can then enter it in to your account to add your device. My problem is that my interent connection is the mobile phone which I use to connect my laptop to the internet. The printer is then connected to the computer using either the direct wireless feature or using the supplied USB cable. Because of this, I can't obtain the printer's code, from the printer's control panel. I do not use landline internet connection as the mobile phone is used as a modem.
    What do I do?????????
    Can I just phone technical support and ask them to email my printer code??????

    Hi,
    No, this is not going to work and WON'T work at all. Your printer MUST be connected to the internet to allow ePrint to work. No point to send an email to printer and it is NOT there.

First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • Internet Connection Sporadically Drops Out

    This problem has been ongoing for several months now.  Usually one or more times a day the internet connection will drop out, usually for a few minutes at a time.  Sometimes I get the yellow triangle in the taskbar, other times I don't.  I've gone back and forth with customer service several times.  Earlier this week they replaced my router to no avail.  They now tell me there are no connection drops or errors in the event logs and have tried to blame my computer/NIC.  I explained to them that it's not the connection between my NIC and the router that is breaking, but rather the connection between the router and the internet, or the connection between the router and the FiOS box.  Either way it's on the other side of the router.  I don't know why it doesn't show up in the event logs, but it is just about a daily occurrence.  So far the haven't even offered to sent a tech out.  I've gone back and forth like four or five times now, and I know the customer service reps are just trying to help, but so far it hasn't done any good.  The issue obviously needs to be escalated, so I figured I'd try here first.  Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?  Has anyone else ever experienced this problem and been told there's no flags or errors in the event logs?  Thank you for your help.

  • Question regarding ONT connection via Ethernet and Cable cards

    Hi,
    We recently upgraded to Fios Quation 150Mbps/65  plan. We are not getting the advertised speeds (we only get like 5mbps upload) so verizon is sending a tech to switch the ONT connection from coax to ethernet.
    I have 2 questions regarding this new setup:
    1. If the ONT communicates with the Fios Actiontect router via ethernet instead of coax from now on, How will the set top boxes and Tivo-esque cable card powered device I currently have connected to coax, talk to the verizon system from now on, if coax is taken out of the equation? Will fios signal still flow through the internal coax wiring of the house? And moreover, I was under the impression that coax was the way set top boxes communicated and derived independent ip addresses from the Fios router, for on deman purposes and what not. How will this work from now on?
    Quiestion 2.
    Right next to the wall where the ONT sits, theres's a basement office where we have a PC that connects to the Fios system  via an Actiontect MoCa adapter (ECB2500C) which I assume derives it internet connection from the Fios Actiontec router which sits upstairs in the living room. 
    Again, with the Coax about to be disabled next Friday in favor of ethernet connection from the ONT, I assume this PC will be left without internet because of the lack of internet signal in the coax? Is this correct? 
    Question 2.5 If my above assumption is correct, since this office is right on the other side of the wall where the ONT sits outside the house, would it be possible to run an ethernet wire through the wall that connects straight from the ONT to an ethernet switch inside the office, from which I would derive a connection for this basement PC (properly firewalled of course) and then, from said switch, continue running the ethernet wire that would ultimately reach the Actiontec Fios router upstairs from which the rest of the house derives it's internet?  and would this setup affect in any way the propper functioning of the cable boxes in the house?
    I'd appreciate your input and any help you can provide so I can have a ballpark idea of what to tell the Fios guy to do when he comes on Friday.
    Cheers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's not valid to have two devices connected to the ONT, PC and VZ Router.  Must be a single device. The ONT locks onto the MAC Address of the first device it sees. Since you have TV you should have the VZ router as the internet facing router.
    Other options:
    1.  Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement and then use Wireless for all other PC's.
    2.  Have the VZ Router located next to the PC in the basement but run one wire upstairs and connect a switch where other PCs and devices can connect via a wire.
    Hope that helps.

  • "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"

    I have both a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a new Samsung Tab 3.   After a recent software upgrade, I was having connectivity issues to wireless routers.   The message I got when connecting to a secure wireless network was "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow".   I determined that I had no issues with either my phone or tablet on either an unsecure router (WiFi hotspot), or with any older router that broadcast WPA2 personal with either aes OR tkip security.   I do have a problem with connecting to any new router that broadcasts BOTH aes and tkip at the same time.   When I change the routers under my control to broadcast only aes or tkip, then I can immediately connect both my phone and tablet to the router.   There are obviously a lot of routers over which I have no control, so this needs to be fixed.  I am pretty sure that there is a problem with the latest Android software upgrade in this regard

    I am having the same problem with my Galaxy 3S since the upgrade. Have searched for settings, etc. but haven't found anything I can control. My home network is getting 54.4 down and 5.7 up! Have had this issue nearly everywhere I am connected.
    I think it needs a fix - noticed today that Verizon has doubled my DATA for free. May need it if this continues.

  • Cisco ASA 5505 - Keeps dropping internet connection

    Hi,
    We are having some issues with our Cisco ASA 5505 unit, it intermittently drops the outside interface connection. Internally the network appears to be working correctly with no issues. Even though the outside interface indicates it is 'up' access to the internet is lost from our LAN. This seems to be ocourring more and more often! This is happening for all users on the network too. Reloading the ASA seems to correct the problem temporally but this isn't really an option during peak periods in the day as this would obviously hinder work being carried out by employees.
    Any ideas?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    What happens when you assign eth0 as internal interface and eth1 as outside if?
    Also configure logging (/debugging) to see if there are hardware issues or something else.
    And it seems you have a range of public addresses. What happens when you connect a device, e.g. a laptop directly on the internet access device and send continue ping to an internet host.
    When you loose internet connectivity, is the laptop still pinging to that host?
    Hopefully this helps you,
    Kind regards,
