Range expander not displayed in network device list from Router

My range expander seems to be working properly, blue lights, and improved signal in dead zone. However, I noticed when viewing my network devices from the router settings it did not list anything located at 192.168.1.240. I was wondering why that would be when the expander is working properly? Shouldn't the router show it as a connected device?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wouldn't worry about it. Mine doesn't either. I assume because it is set up like the router as a repeater that it is kinda like a "ghost". I know it is there because I can ping it and access it at 192.168.1.240 in the browser. If you want, you can download the LELA network management software. That will pick it up.

ENET/100 GPIB0 not displayed in MAX device list

I configured the GPIB0 device as an ENET/100 through the win2k control panel. The unit is on our subnet and passes the diagnostic. However, it does not appear in the Max device list. When I try to add a device manually, ENET/100 is not in the list.

Hello Art,
It sounds like you are using NI-488.2 version 1.2. Version 1.2 does not have MAX support for the enet. NI-488.2 ver 2.0 has MAX support on Win 2k for the enet.

HT3624 additional airport express not showing in wireless device list

I have an additional AX to extend my WiFi but it's not showing in wireless device list; it is plugged in, next to base AX, did a hard-reset, amber light is blinking. Everything was working fine for a more than a year. Thank you for your help.

I don't use Xserve but when this happens to me:
I reset the express. I use a wireless Mac to "find" the Express. Need to select the network under the Airport icon. If not there then System prefs/netwrok/status/airport then drop down menu to preferred. If there select it and then select apply then back to that airport icon and finish by using the Airport Utility or in your case Admin utility. If not found in preferred then use the + button. I have never failed to "find" my "lost" network using this counter measure.
If you don't have a wireless Mac then do it with an ethernet connection.

A Camcorder that's not on the "Qualified Devices List.." Still work?

I everyone. I own a Sony DCR-TRV-250 Digital 8 Hanycam Camcorder and I am looking into Final Cut Express HD, but I noticed that my camcorder is not on the qualified devices list. For those of you who know about this, is there a possibility that my camcorder may still work? Your Support Is *GREATLY* appreciated! Thanks so much.

To use a camera with FCE, it needs to be DV and have a FireWire connection. Your TRV250 does both. Digital8 is a Sony thing, but under the covers it is a DV codec recording on a Digital8 cassette. There are some technical differences in the tape transport speed and how the magnetic recording is made on the tape compared to miniDV tapes, but the codec itself is DV, and the output via the FireWire connection is also DV. So, it should work with FCE, and iMovie too.
The only way to know for sure is to give it a try. Find your local Apple store and take your camera there & try it. That's the same advice we'd give anyone, regarding any camera.
Oh, and by the way, I noticed that your profile says you are running 10.0.x - for FCE-HD you need at least 10.4.6 and QT 7.0.4 - check the full specs here.

Site not displaying on tablet devices

Why is my muse site amyweilpaintings.com not displaying on tablet devices? If no tablet layout was designed for it shouldn't it default to the desktop design when using a tablet?

Did you figure this out yet? If not, you could try unchecking "Redirect From Desktop" under Site Properties, under File.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Range Expander not working .. Desperately needed HELP

I just bought the wireless expander yesterday. At first, i followed the instructions which came with it. As my network is WPA-enabled, i insert the CDrom to start the utility. Everything went well and the utility was able to find my network and the wireless expander. My network had a boosted range after that. However, after one of my family members accidentally pressed the auto configuration button, everything went haywired.
I tried to reset the wireless expander and start the utility again. However, this time, the utility wasn't able to find the wireless expander.I tried it over and over again , to no avail.
I came to this forum and realized that quite a lot of people are facing the same problems as me. I followed the solutions as stated. I was able to get 2 blue lights lit after that. However, my laptop kept prompting something abt ip (can't remember the exact words) And i can't used the internet at all. I went on the forum and found the solution to it. I did what it says but it's still the same. So i decided to reset the wireless expander and at the same time taking note of the ip problem.
However, after i reset the wireless expander, whatever i did wasn't able to get the 2 blue lights lit. I have been at this for 6 hrs and on my way to madness.
Can someone help me out here?
My Modem : Motorola ( Can't remember the exact model)
My wireless router : NetGear WGR614 v5
My wireless expander : Linksys WRE54G v2
What i did :
1) I connected the wireless expander to my laptop using an ethernet cable. Thus, getting a lan connection.
2) I changed the static ip address of it
IP -- 192.168.1.155
Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
Default gateway -- 192.168.1.1
3) I was able to access to http://192.168.1.240
4) I changed the settings
ok -- here's the problem ..
When i run cmd --> ipconfig /all --> i get ip: 192.168.1.137
                                                               subnetmask : 255.255.255.0
                                                        default gateway : 192.168.1.1
When i went to my wireless router settings it was IP : 222.164.18.197
                                                                   Subnet mask : 255.255.248.0
                                                                   Default gateway: 222.164.16.1
I do not know which one to use , so i tried both settings. For the 1st one, everything went fine , until after the power cycle. The blue lights still did not lit up .
For the 2nd IP , i can't even get the webpage to change my settings.
I have tried a combination of things. Set the SSID to the same as my wireless router SSID . I have download the firmware and yet when i tried it , all 3 trys were used and nothing happened.
I have tried doing this over and over again , looking for a step that i might have missed , but i think that i have reached my wit's end..
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

MINdReAdEr, yep you are in trouble with the unit. The WRE54G does a good job but it can be quirky to set up. When I bought mine from Amazon, i went first to the Customer reviews for info and I there found the right way(s) to install the unit. First of all, of course, forget about the CD instructions. Too frustrating when they start to backfire. ************************************ Better ways - got from Amazon (in fact, go there and search for WRE54G and see all review): ************************************ 1. The one below outlines easy installation if your network/wireless router are on the SAME SUBNET AS THE WRE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, i.e. 192.168.1.xx 279 of 285 people found the following review helpful: It does what it's supposed to, once you can set it up, August 1, 2004 By Anthony Taylor (Sherman Oaks, CA) - See all my reviews If you're having trouble setting it up, definitely call the 800 number as opposed to going online. I tried with three different people through their website online and none could help. Right before I sent it back I decided to try phone support and it got the expander a reprieve. I've copied some instructions that Y.A. Escalante was kind enough to leave in his review, but corrected and elaborated some of the items based on my experience. I would've given this 4 stars, but I deducted 1 for it not having clear enough instructions with its initial shipping. (Would've saved Linksys some headaches) Here goes: 1-Disable WEP on your Router or AP 2-Hold the auto-configuration button for 30 seconds(if everything goes well both lights on the expander will turn blue) and unplug while still holding button. Plug back in after 10-15 secs. 3-open your Internet explorer browser and type 192.168.1.240 (default ip of expander), a window will pop up. leave the user name blank and put admin as a password (this is default password). 4-make sure that the default gateway and subnet mask settings are identical with your Router or AP,change password on the expander if desired & save settings. (all settings should be correct due to auto configuration) 5-Enable WEP on the expander, once again remember use same settings as in your Router or AP, save settings again. 6-Go to your Router or Ap settings and enable WEP. Bang you're DONE. Enjoy Hope this helps some of you...if not call the 800 number on the box and be patient. ******************************** 2. The one I put together with help from forums and amazon customer reviews applies to cases where the Router and the network are on a DIFFERENT subnet than the WRE out of the box (mine for example is 192.168.0.xx), and also when you want to install the WRE WITHOUT doing anything to the wireless router on your network (I like that!): 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: WRE54G: as usual w. Linksys product, installation is rough, January 16, 2007 By Roger J. Thomas "WirelessInn" (ZUNI, NM United States) - See all my reviews I am getting to think that I buy Linksys products just because I am getting used to their idiosynchrasis - i.e. the products' installation instructions are basically somehow flawed (even though I am sure they work if one makes a few adjustments to what the manuals say!) I must also say that product reviews by users on Amazon.com are an excellent source of technical info/help. My setup consists of a Satellite (Hughes) internet service with corresponding modem, feeding into a WRT54G Linksys Wireless Router which in turn is connected via cat5 to a Desktop and wirelessly to a Dell Laptop. I have to mention that the range of the WRT54G (a stock v.5 unit) is very good as it is. I want to use the WRE54G to extend range. 0. DO NOTHING to your wireless router (mine is a WRT54G - see above) - leave Router's IP address/channel alone and encryption (WPA or WPE) in place if you are using such protection. That's what I like about those steps: no disruption of the wireless network's settings in use! Also, my wireless laptop is at WRE54G install time in range of the Wireless Router. NOTE: That Laptop can actually be any computer. Preferably however one normally used as wireless unit on the network including the Internet connection>B'Band Modem > Wireless router > and now the WRE54G. 1. Change the IP of that computer/laptop you are using to setup the WRE54G if needed - i.e. if that computer's IP (from the local LAN NIC, not the wireless card) is on another subnet than 192.168.1.xx. Use something like 192.168.1.1 for example. This is necessary to access the WRE54G's internal web screen (default: 192.168.1.240). Disable wireless on the computer you are usng to set up the WRE54G. 2. MAKE SURE that your internet connection DOES NOT at this time do through a proxy - mine normally does (Satellite Internet provider=Direcway/Hughes - proxy server advised/required). You have to dig really deep into Linksys EsyAnswer/KB site to even see that suggestion!! Momentarily disable proxy server in IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings. I.e. the wired LAN connection you are using to set up the WRE54G must not go thru any TCP/IP proxy. 3. Power up and connect the WRE (I have version 3) to that computer's newly re-IP'd LAN port (the WRE54G comes with a short cat5 cable). So, at this point, BOTH the WRE54G and your LAN connection are on 192.168.1.xx subnets. 4. Just to make sure that a LAN connection has been established, ping the WRE thus connected. Should return satisfactory result. (Again, the computer wireless connection should be disabled at this point) 5. Access the WRE's web screen via 192.168.1.240. Screen should come up. Defaut PW is of course admin at this time. 6. And now we are ready to enter specific information pertaining to your own wireless network, as follows: a. Enter - if necessary - the IP address you want the WRE54G to have on your wireless network - to be on same subnet as Wireless router used for your wireless network. My network is on subnet 192.168.0.xx: I set the WRE54G on IP address 192.168.0.240. b. Same with subnet and gateway c. Check mode (mixed/b or g only) d. SAME CHANNEL as the router e. Enter new SSID and enable/disable broadcast - same settings as Wireless Router's. 7. Now it is time to select/enter Wireless Security settings for the WRE54G: actually exact same settings as your Wireless Router's. 8. Change the WRE54G password while you are at it! Save settings and that's it! Finally unplug the WRE54G from power outlet AND LAN connection to the computer used to set up the Extender; locate/power up the WRE54G somewhere appropriatly a bit away from the laptop, in range of the Wireless Router, and in sight from the wireless laptop for initial testing (just so you can actually see if the blue lights come on: they should in the following sequence - top blue > top red/bottom blue > both blue if everything is OK.) To initially test-drive everything, I placed the WRE54g about 30ft from the Wireless Router and 20ft from the wireless laptop (which I make sure still connects to the Wireless Router.) 9. Now re-enable the wireless connection on the computer used to set up the WRE54G. Experiment with the new connection with the WRE54G. It should kick in as the stronger connection right away (if you are CLOSER to the WRE54G then the router). You'll see that when you are connecting to/using the WRE54G to connect to your Wireless Router, the signal strength is indeed higher. In fact, if you can run NetStumbler (free wireless detection software) and thus run a Site Survey, you'll see that two APs show up, same network SSID (i.e. the Wireless Router and the WRE54G, now considered as an AP itself). Of course the WRE54G will show much stronger signals. 10. Then if all is OK, experiment with placing the WRE54G as suggested otherwise - i.e. at the periphery of the wireless range obtained by just using the Wireless Router. 11. Seems to work so far. I do not otherwise detect loss of signal or b'band speed. This thing does work. I have placed the WRE54G in many different locations and I am truly AMAZED at its range extension potential. NOTE: I assume that in case of presence of signals from BOTH the Wireless Router and the WRE54G at a given location (since both devices are on same channel/SSID/Protection scheme), one might have to reset the wireless connection on the remote(s) laptops (or to reboot) to allow it(them) to pick just one (the stronger of course) connection. I was looking all along for a way to set up the WRE54G without having to go thru the rigamarole of changing other settings elsewhere on the network, using the dreaded Install CD or other cumbersome procedure! As I change my encryption WPA code often, I'll just have to change that info in one more device (besides my WRT54G and the Linksys wireless bridge WET54G - another excellent, not cheap Linksys product which i recommend also and which I use to make my Sat internet service available to another building on my business premises). Simple enough however! Note: you can also use that device to allow a web access to a computer that does not have a wireless card: plug the WRE54G into elect outlet, make sure that the unit is in range of the wireless network, connect a LAN cable from the WRE54G to the card-less computer, and voila, ths computer can get online. **************************************** Hoping this helps! - Roger T

Range Expander Not Working with MAC

Have been using two WRE54G Range Expanders for over two years. However, I wanted to add WEP to my system, but when I did that, the Range Expanders lights went RED. I tried to access the SETUP, but for some reason I am unable to access it. In any event, made the classic mistake of trying to fix something that really wasn't broken. Have spent three chat sessions trying to resolve all the issues and of course, after solving one, another cropped up. Here's where I'm at right now. Still cannot access the Range Expander SETUP, but more importantly one of the Range Expanders is now no longer working with the MAC's that we have at home. My wireless PC works fine, but each time I try to log in one of the MAC's, in the expander territory, it tells me that it's a secure connection, which it's not. For now, I've unplugged one of the expanders and am only using one downstairs and while I have connectivity upstairs, it's not as good as when the expander was working.
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

OK, my problem has now shifted to another issue. I did as 'quack' suggested and got both expanders to apparently work, both had two blue lights. I tried two of the MAC's we have, the third is out of the house at the moment. Also tried my PC laptop, that worked as well.
I then decided to activate WEP on the wireless router Linksys WRT54G. Here is where it gets confusing. Both expanders now have one blue light and one red light, but when trying to connect either of the MAC's it does prompt me for the network key, which once entered, both computers get on the Internet. It took a while and a re-start for the PC to recognize the network as secure, but once it did and I entered the network key, it too worked.
What continues to baffle me is that there is no way I'm able to access the web setup for the extenders. The other routers/etc in my network connect via http://192.168.49.xxx, however when I try this using '240' and/or '241' for the expanders, nothing happens. If I try to ping those addresses, I get no reply.
What furthers confuses me, in that reading some of the other posts it seems that the expander actually showed up in your list of 'AVAILABLE WIRLESS NETWORKS', that is not the way mine is now, nor was it ever in that list. I guess I should just leave well enough alone, since everything seems to be working, but I get the sense, it's not working properly.

Apple TV does not show up in device list

I've read all the post with the same subject but still can not get the Apple TV to show up in the device list of itunes.
I have multiple computers on a wired/wireless network, one is a windows XP laptop machine and it sees the Apple TV fine, can sync with itunes works great. This machine is connected via wireless connection. This machine does not have my music or photos that I want to sync so I want to sync the Apple TV with my desktop, I was just using the laptop as a diagnostic tool and to better understand the interaction between itunes and the Apple TV. I have tried all the steps given and still can not get the Apple TV to show up as a device on the desktop.
I originally had norton firewall on the desktop, uninstalled that so it would not be in the way, did not help. Windows firewall is not enabled.
I have sharing enabled in itunes and I have look for Apple TVs enabled. I have rebooted the router, Apple TV, computers etc. Reinstalled itunes.
I have a linksys wreless router in the system. I have tried connectnig the desktop via a wired connection as well as a wireless connection, no difference. The Apple TV can get on the wireless network fine, it can access the internet fine to play movie trailer etc. I have also connected it directly to the router via a cable, does not help. I tried connecting the desktop to the Apple TV directly with a crossed ethernet cable, did not work.
The desktop can ping the Apple TV.
I am assuming I do not have a problem with ports as the laptop sees the Apple TV fine?
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums.
To summarise and for clarity: You have set up your laptop itunes library and it works as it should with the tv, now you are trying to add your desktop and it doesn't see the tv.
First point: the Laptop is your primary library, you can only have one primary library and if you wish to sync from the desktop you will need to make that your primary library instead of the laptop. You will need to turn of syncing for the laptop and register the desktop with the tv for syncing first and then the laptop as a secondary (streaming only) library. If you are trying to use your desktop without de-registering the laptop it will only ever be a secondary (streaming) library.
You may have realised this and if so all well and good, but if not you might want to continue to establish your desktop as a secondary library and satisfy yourself that all is well before turning off your laptop and setting everything up again.
On the assumption you are setting up the desktop as a secondary library at this time, how far have you got with registering the desktop, have you successfully entered the pass codes, did the tv show in the device list at any stage. As a secondary library itunes will only show the tv in it's device list when that itunes library is selected as the source library from the tv itself, could this be why you are unable to see it in the device list.

Apple TV not showing up in device list in iTunes

Apple TV stopped showing up in the devices list in iTunes when I tried to sync my movies, and iTunes froze in mid-sync. Since there is no "eject" button for Apple TV in iTunes, the only thing to do was to close iTunes. When I opened it up again...no more Apple TV under devices. Apple TV works as a stand-alone and I can purchase and view using controls in Apple TV, but I can't sync iTunes with Apple TV, so all my previous purchases are stuck in iTunes until I can sync again. I have tried all the work-arounds suggested by Apple. This is my second Apple TV. The first one did the same thing before the returns deadline kicked in. Hey Apple!! Wake up and fix this!!! If I can't sync with iTunes then I am not putting any money into movie rentals or purchases!! This is costing YOU $$$$$$$$!!

I had this problem and tried most of the suggested solutions. I could ping the ATV, so I had not network problems. Finally, this is the suggestion that worked for me (Windows 7 user running iTunes 9.1.0.79):
- power off the ATV
- open iTunes on the computer;
- ensure "Share my library on local network is enabled in iTunes (Edit--Preferences--Sharing);
- power on the ATV;
- go to "Add Shared iTunes Library" on the ATV (Setting-->Computer menu, second line of the menu) which puts up a new passcode on the screen;
- DON'T proceed with inputting the passcode number to add the shared iTunes Library, but instead press "menu" button on ATV remote to exit the "Add Library" function and return to the ATV setting menu;
- this step seems to wake up the ATV<-->iTunes connection and at this point the ATV device reappeared on iTunes!;
- on the ATV (Setting--Computer menu) I was then able to connect to the nominated iTunes library (top line of the menu) and enter the passcode required by that screen.

TV not showing up in device list

I've always had problems with my TV disconnecting from the network but yesterday and today is the worst it's ever been. I ran the update yesterday. After that I tried to stream an HD version of Body of Lies from my computer (about 2.5 GB). I only got 18 min into it with constant disconnects. After several attempts to get this streaming to work correctly I decided to try and sync the video to TV so I wouldn't have to worry about the signal breaking down any more. At this point, the TV disappeared from the devices list and has not shown back up in my iTunes. I've factory restored it and updated it again and nothing. Any ideas?
Also, this may have to do with ******** networking. My roommate messed with the wireless settings (manual vs dhcp blah blah) and may have ****** it all up though I'm not sure. The service in general (Zoomtown DSL) just isn't very good.

Have you tried linking your iTunes account with your Apple TV?

EA4500 Router Device not showing up in device list - Please Help

Hi all
I have an EA4500 and am using Cisco Connect Cloud software. Its working mostly fine except that I have one device on the network that will not show up in the device list. This is not an issue in itself and normally I would ignore (although it used to show up when I forst got the router) however.......
The device is a WDTVLive media unit and required access to windows shares on a media server. Now the WDTVLive device is server an ip address by the router and is available from everywhere on my network but every couple of days it loses the capacity to search windows shares.
I know what you are thinking and I initially thought the same, this is an issue with the WDTVLive box. However one day I spent a few hours trying to resolve (Am an IT Consultant and know a little about networks) and found that I could not fix the issue. I then rebooted the router and it started working. I have since confirmed that every time it breaks I have to reboot the router.
So I kind of think the two issues are linked.
Sorry for the ramble. Can anyone help please.
Thanks in advance
Alan

Further to this issue which I ignored as it did not really cause any issues, I recently clicked a samsung tv device which thinks that is three different devices. It has three lan addresses listed. One of the addresses listed is the original device that will not show up so I suspect that this is why it does not show up.
It seems that I have a conflict but I can find nothing anywhere to allow me to resolve.
I cannot even delete the Samsung TV device as its x button is not editable.
Should I just try removing the cloud connect software. I must admit that I am starting to think that I made a bad decision with this router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB. No problem with my iPhone. Anyone else with this problem? Any solution? (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it. Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link. So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

IPhone not showing up in devices list

I have an iPhone 3Gs and a 27" iMac i7. I downloaded the remote app from the store, and the setup worked the first time I tried it. I added an AppleTV to this mix, and now the phone won't show up in the devices list (and can't find my library). The TV does, but the phone doesn't. When I look in the iTunes preferences, the TV says syncing even though it appears to be done. The "look for remotes" box is still checked on the devices tab. I tried resetting everything, and even deleted and re-added (and re-synced) the TV. It still says "syncing" in the preferences. Everything is on the same wireless network. It's annoying since it worked fine before I added the TV. Although, even when I unplug the TV the app doesn't work.

Download the current iTunes installation and re-install it over the existing - not need to uninstall iTunes first.
