Range Extender Unable to Setup on Mac...No Update for OSX 10.10.2

Just bought this extended brand new but it's worthless as your software for setup won't run on my Mac running OSX 10.10.2.
What are we supposed to do???
Please advise before I return!
Thanks!!

Do you have one of the latest Linksys range extenders? Not sure if you've gone through the same steps, but the following link shows how to set it up through MacOSX wirelessly: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=d018a91cc2cd425ba837bf2be5ad9fb9_Setting_up_your_L...

IPod setup on Mac now needed for PC with Vista

I have had my iPod setup on a Mac and now am using a PC with Vista. I installed iTunes 8.x and when I connected my iPod I was informed that it had to be reformatted for use with Windows.
This iPod is packed with music. Is there any way to salvage the content on this iPod?
Any help greatly appreciated!

You might be able to do something with a 3rd-party ipod manager, but I suspect they are also either Mac or Windows-based, as in either/or and not "works with both". Here is a good page to start researching it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodmanagers
I would steer clear of the free ones. Also, and contact the company who sells whichever one you choose to make sure it can do what you want.
And you could see if any of your friends have a Mac, just to get the music files off the iPod and then put back on after you've Windows-formatted it.

Mac 10.5.8 unable to connect to Mac 10.4 for file sharing purpose

I'm currently using Mac 10.5.8, when i tried to connect to my friend Mac 10.4. It just show connecting status only. My friend already turn on the file sharing. Firewall turn off. Restarted and tried again also no use. His machine able to connect to my machine for file sharing. Previously we able to do file sharing for both way, but now only one way work (his can connect to mine). This problem happen since 2 weeks ago.
I will appreciate if any Mac expect can give me some ideal how to resolve this problem.
Thanking you in advance.

Are you doing this local or over the net(ports opened on router/modem?)? And try connecting by menu bar, Go, Network if you are currently trying by menu bar, Go, Connect to Server. And what does System log show by Console or Terminal. This is Leopard connecting by LAN to my Tiger machine:

Setup a Mac mini server for small business

Im trying to come up with a solution for a families small business.
theres two of them that operate it out of their home and need something central to access all the company data and documents.
one travels and one stays back, so the one traveling all they do is forward an email and thats the current documentation they have is in email, no database or file archiving.
we also want to get their old files and documents scanned in and accessible too, instead of digging through boxes of stuff.
they also would like remote access while on the road to access their data, i presume they may use macbooks and possibly iOS devices.
I was thinking a mac mini, and an airport/time capsule for backup purposes and remote accessibility.
any suggestions on file management and remote access?
thank you!

Thanks for those suggestions.
They need file sharing on the road, away from the home office. I think I understand the concept, but aside from my own personal set-up of OS X server and back to my mac type things, its not really business-y in my opinion to offer them.
Unless they believe it will good enough.
So how would i set-up dyDNS? i have a test system i can work with if there are steps you'd recommend?
I just want to offer them a way to access their documents while traveling to sites through the Apple ecosystem.
BackBlaze, i hear about this, my only concern is if this company disappears then what? yknow. Crash plan is a nice alternative, but I'm looking for inside the Apple box methods here if possible.
i really appreciate the ideas.

DM for Mac device updates for Pearl 8130

hello!
i discovered the DM for mac today when searching for ways to update the device software on my pearl 8130. i downloaded it and have had no trouble backing up or synching, but am supremely frustrated with the device update process.
i am currently running 4.3.0.97 and the core apps and system software are in the 4.5 range. when i select these updates and attempt to run them -- regardless of whether i choose to include system or third-party app backups in the process -- everything's cool until the DM says it's "Loading OS..."
my pearl reboots itself every time i get to this point, which causes a "DM cannot connect to your device. Reconnect and try again" message from the DM. i've taken out the battery, rebooted the DM -- nothing is working.
does anyone know why this auto-reboot is happening and what i can do about it? alternatively, does anyone know how i can download system updates WITHOUT DM, but still using a mac?
thanks!

I had the same problem and gave up. I did my updates using the Windows XP version of DM using Bootcamp on the mac to launch XP. I tried XP via Parallels first but it seemed to have issues with XP seeing the 8130 via USB. I didn't bother troubleshooting and went straight to Bootcamp and running the MAC as an XP only machine.
Hopefully with everything updated I can use the Mac DM alone but I'm having problems and starting to regret I didn't stick with Missing Sync until MAC DM is more mature.

Can't find Range Extender after installing firmware upgrade to fix the 802.11n bug

I got my RE1000 shortly after Christmas but had trouble after a while where devices would claim they were connected to my wifi network but not really have a connection.
I discovered by doing a network scan that my router was broacasting/accepting B/G/N... all of my devices support N, so they were connecting on N... but the RE1000 wasn't broadcasting/accepting N... only G.
Since the RE was on G, this caused major issues trying to connect.
So in late Jan / early Feb I updated the firmware on the device as per instructions from the Cisco rep... but didn't have a chance to plug it back in and test until now.
Now when I plug it in, it lights up all solid green... but in the setup (Windows 7 / PC) the setup can't find the device. My laptop and the RE are within 25 feet of the router... and the laptop and RE are about 6-10 feet apart (I tested different distances to ensure it wasn't too close)
So now I'm stuck... I can't even verify if the RE1000 is properly updated.
What can I do or do I need to return this unit?

scunliffe,
What is the model number of your router? Is it a Linksys device too? You can configure the RE1000 manually, you will have to connect your laptop straight to the RE1000 via ethernet cable and access its setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 on your browser.

Scenario 1 is applicable for you: Using a wired computer.
You may need to disable the WiFi capability on your laptop while doing this to make sure that it is not connected wirelessly to any network. You may need to have both the RE1000 and the laptop at least 6-10 feet away from your router.
I would say you are fmiliar with the wireless settings on your router, right? You will need those information to configure the RE1000 (SSID, Channel Width, Security Mode, and Passphrase).

Setup Airport express network range extender for Time Capsule

Please help me to set up my AE to work as a range extender for my TC.
Anyone that can help me with step-by-step setup information? Your help would be much appreciated as I'm totally lost by now...
TC <--> AE <--> iPodTouch (i.e)

Welcome to the discussions!
You might want to follow Apple's step by step guide for setting up the "extend a wireless network" feature. I assume that you have an AirPort Express(n).
Reference pages 43-44 in the AirPort Neworks Guide.

Setup airport express (1st gen) as range extender wired

So here's the situation.
I have a 1st gen airport express, and I want to use it as a range extender for my wireless network (uses a technicolor TG582n).
I am planning on connecting the airport express with ethernet cable to the remote location where I would like it to be a range extender.
I also want it to be an airplay speaker for the computer connected to the router.
I know I can only configure this device with an old version of Airport Utility, but aside from that I cannot get this to work.
Does anyone know if it is possible, and how I would go about doing it?
Many thanks

Apple sold a version of the AirPort Express long before they introduced what is known as a 1st Generation model, so as you might imagine, there is a great deal of confusion about which version of the Express is which.
Please look on the side of the AirPort Express that you have and post back with the Model No that you see there so we will know exactly what you have.
In order to configure the Expess to "extend" the wireless network provided by the TG582n device that you have, you will need to know 3 things about the wireless network that the TG582n device provides.
1) Wireless network name
2) Wireless network password
3) Exact settings for wireless security
Most users know 1) and 2) regarding their wireless network, but you will also need to know 3) to be able to configure the Expess to work correctly with your network. If you do not know exactly what type of wireless security the TB582n is using, it will not be possible to configure the Express with the correct settings.
In that case, you will need to be able to access the settings of the TB582n to find out what exact setting that it is using for the wireless security on the network.
What version of AirPort Utility will you be using to configure the Express? If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left corner of the screen and then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with that version number.

Using airport express as range extender?

I have a airport express that I use as my primary router.
I also have the direct plug in airport express that I'd like to use as a range extender. I'd like to make this one fully wireless so that I can connect in an another room. However, I'm not sure that's possible. Does anyone know how to go about using this as an extender ?

Temporarily, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the older A1264 AirPort Express
Power up the older Express for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the side of the Express for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
Click on the Other Wi-Fi Devices button, then click on AirPort Express xxxxxxx
AirPort Setup will open up and take a minute to analyze the network and announce that the A1264 Express will be configured to extend the new AirPort Express network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the older Express and click Next
AirPort Setup will configure the older Express for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
Now you can disconnect the Ethernet cable that you used for the setup and move the older Express to a location that is about half way between the new Express and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Power up the older Express and you should be all set.

Use WAP54G v3.1 as range extender for WRT54G

I followed the protocol on http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/1NZA81HP757TD for doing this setup. I tried to configure the WAP54G v.3.1 by using Fred's approach of connecting the laptop (with the wireless adaptor disabled) to the WAP and talking on the wired net adapter (on 192.168.1.200). However, I could only get the web interface in offline mode with no confirmation of the settings I made. When I connected the AP to the WRT with the wire, I was able to configure the AP as follows: I set the AP mode to “Wireless Repeater” with the Wireless MAC address from the WRT (from the Wireless Tab under the Status tab). I set the same security setting as the WRT (ie. WPA-Personal, Encription: TKIP with the same key phrase). The SSID is the same for both units with a 2 appended to the AP ssid. I did all this one time leaving the AP with Static IP address at 192.168.1.245. When I leave the wire connected I happily see and can connect to both the AP or the WRT. However, when I disconnect the wire to move the AP to act as a range extender, the ACT light on the front panel goes out and I can still "see" the AP, but I get "limited or no connectivity" and when I try to repair, it get's stuck at getting a new IP address. I get same thing when I removed security from the AP.

i updated w/ v3.04....all that's available on the linksys site... no change. and I was wrong above, it's not the Act light that goes out but the link. It's clear the WAP is not receiving a wireless signal from the WRT...

HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

Setup VPN on Mac Mini Server running OSX through a BT Hub Router

Hello everyone,
I know this question has been posted several times and I have looked at the suggested solutions, trying each of them. I think this is really down to my lack of knowledge hence hoping someone out there could point me to the right direction for more resources / information, please.
I am trying to setup a Mac Mini Server with VPN access. My server sits behind a BT Hub router. These are the steps that I have been through:
1. I am using the server app and after registering a free account with no-ip, I got myself a host name <myname>.ddns.net.
2. Then I setup the server using a domain name
3. I configured the DNS by first setting up a primary zone - zone: ddns.net. Then added machine record host name: <myname> pointing to my server which I have configured my router to assign a static ip address to it at 192.168.x.x
4. Then, I configured the VPN setting up for L2TP and PPTP, setup the shared secret, change the ip address range to match that of the DHCP range on my router. My router by default has a DHCP range between 64 - 253.
5. Then, I also configured my router to port forward 500, 1701, 1723, and 4500 to my server at 192.168.x.x (I selected both TCP and UDP).
6. Finally, setup a user account with account name test and password abcd12345
7. Gone on my "client" machine which is basically my Samsung S4 handphone, selected VPN -> PPTP -> server address: <myname>.ddns.net -> entered account name test and password abcd12345.
This didn't work.
Then, I read some post about manually configure DHCP on the server app. Went on the server app, turned on DHCP and setup a network named TestDHCP. Assigned ip address range between that of the default DHCP range on my BT Hub router.
This does not work either.
Could someone please kindly help me with it? I am completely lost.
Thank you in advance.

To run a public VPN server behind an NAT gateway, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
If your router is an Apple device, select the Network tab in AirPort Utility and click Network Options. In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
Allow incoming IPSec authentication
if it's not already checked, and save the change.
With a third-party router, there may be a similar setting.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.
5. Each client must have an address on a netblock that doesn't overlap the one assigned by the VPN endpoint. For example, if the endpoint assigns addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and the client has an address on a local network in the 10.0.1.0/24 range, that's OK, but if the local network is 10.0.1.0/16, there will be a conflict. To lessen the chance of such conflicts, it's best to assign addresses in a random sub-block of 10.0.0.0./0 with a 24-bit netmask.
6. "Back to My Mac" is incompatible with the VPN service. It must be disabled both on the server and on an AirPort router, if applicable.
If the server is directly connected to the Internet, see this blog post.

2 Airport extremes, one as base and one as a range extender?

Hope someone can help. I have 2 aiport extremes n version. I want to use one as a base station (which it is already) and another as 'range extender'. Airport utility only seems to allow a set up as a base station but I just what to open up a new bit of our house...any wireless wizz's out there?

You can check your critical settings as follows using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup:
On the "main" AirPort Extreme
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Make sure you have a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Update to save settings
On the "remote Airport Extreme
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as "Main" network
Check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as "Main" network
Wireless Password = Exact password as "Main" network
Update to save settings
You may need to experiment to find the best placement for the "remote" AirPort Extreme. Start with it positioned approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between the "Main" router and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
