RE1000 - setup issues and REDUCED range

The "easy" setup disk made me wait for several minutes to report a failure with no explanation. I was using a Cisco E3000 router and new Cisco issued W510 laptop. Then there are no manual installation procedures to fall back on. After searchng the web I manually configured the extender from the ethernet cable. This was constantly interrupted by login requests and failures but eventually it did provision after about 25 minutes.
After that there was a slight extension of range (20-30 feet) directly away from the router. All other locations showed a significant reduction of signal level and throughput.
Maybe I got a bad one but mine was garbage that wasted my time. I tried factory reset and this did not help.
Product Usage: Media Streaming to TV

In order to get the full through put from the RE1000 you need to do certain settings. You must first identify the following wireless settings of your router:
• Wireless Network Name (SSID)
• Wireless Channel
• Wireless Security Mode (WPA/WPA2 Personal or WEP)
• Network Key or Passphrase
Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000…
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=206954591ff54e36884bb4636fcfd3d9_Manually_configur...
Most importantly, remember that in order to get the best performance from an RE1000 you need to place the extender in an area where you still have at least 50% signal strength to your router when you place it in the final location where the RE1000 will be used. To configure the RE1000 you will need to login to the UI after you have put the RE1000 in the final location to verify the signal strength below is a reminder about signal bars and what they mean as a reminder
For ALL configurations you should have between 2-3 bars of signal at the very least. If you have less we will need to move the RE1000 closer to the router. You can also check the status on the status page of the RE1000 as well. On the status page it measures both Signal Strength and Signal Quality. If either set of bars is red you must move the RE1000 closer to the Router.
Second, if the concern still persists then to get the best result you have to optimize the wireless settings on the router as well.
1. Connect to your router's admin interface. Usually 192.168.1.1. The default user-name is blank; default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
2. Click on the Wireless tab and do the following changes.
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
3. Click on Save settings.

8520 Email Setup Issues and App Download Issue

Hey there
I got my first Blackberry ever yesterday. I've been wanting one for years but I finally got it and I cannot set up my email or download any apps.
Each time I got to setup the email the only option is 'I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server'
But I don't. And I know to download apps you have to download the app world. I did it via the desktop but apparently my phone is compatible?
I'm so confused and I don't know who to ask to help me.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
Good luck!

Reduce time to build setup project and size of .msi

I have noticed that since we started working with Crystal 2008 (previously we used version 8.5), the merge module added to the Visual Studio 2005 setup project seems to cause the build process to take much longer than before (nearly 10 minutes), and the resulting .msi has ballooned from a few megs into around 54MB.
I think that this is because it is included language support for all languages, even though the only language we need is English. I might be misunderstanding the cause - this is just my best guess.
Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the amount of time to build, and reduce the size of the .msi?
Thank you for any help.. shannon

Thank you for the response..
My Visual Studio 2005 solution is configured to not build the setup project automatically. I only build it manually when I need to do a test deployment on the development server. As I am approaching the end of the development cycle, I am having to deploy to the dev server pretty frequently - this is why the long build process is becoming more of a problem for me. It is making the testing process very cumbersome.
To be honest, the size of the .msi file doesn't cause any problem for me, but I am guessing that if there were a way to reduce the size, it would also reduce the time, since it seems to take a long time to pack everything into that .msi during the setup project build.

Page Setup Issue with InDesign CS3 and Xerox DC240 w/ external Fiery

Running on OS 10.4.11
Printing to Xerox DC2400 w/ External Fiery (driver v1.1 v3016.102)
Application InDesign CS3 v. 5.0.2
When I send a document in CS3 to print, I have to constantly go to the page setup and select the proper paper size and orientation in order to print properly. In CS2, I was able to set all this by simply going to the Setup window and designating my paper size and orientation there. Does anyone have the same or similar issue? Were you able to resolve it? All suggestions are welcomed. I have contacted Xerox and they say that this is not an issue with their driver, they say that this is an application level issue!!
Thank you.

I think I may have figured it out by trial and error. In the Pages palette, there's an option in the pulldown called "Panel Options". I set both sizes to "Small" and turned off "Thumbnails". Seems to have worked - knock wood. Presumably when thumbnails is turned on, InDesign is updating the contents of the document AND the pages palette thumbnail simultaneously. Anyway, that seems to have fixed it. Just wanted to post this solution FYI for anyone else who may be having this problem.

WRT310N Setup issues after firmware update and factory reset

Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my firmware to v2 on my WRT310N and found that I could no longer connect my PC to my router. Whenever I run the setup software that came with the router it goes through all the steps but errors out when it looks for the router. I think the error number I am getting is 322.
I tried to reset the router to the factory defaults, but I am still having the same issues.
When I plug my Cable modem directly into my PC I have no issues and have full internet connectivity. I have tried to navigate manually to the 192.168.1.1 to do a manual setup of the router but I can't get to the router main page.
I'm running windows XP SP3 and I had no issues up until I did the firmware upgrade. I can't think of what I am doing wrong and am stuck.
Any thoughts?

Make sure that the cable modem is connected to the Internet port of the router. Your computer should be connected to one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the router. If your computer is connected to the port 1 of the router then port 1 light on the router will lit up. Also make sure that the Power light on the router is steady and not flashing. If the power light on the router is flashing then try to reset and power cycle the router again.
Once the power light on the router is steady then check the IP address of the computer.
Go to Start >> Click Run >> Type cmd and click Ok. You will get the command prompt window opened. In the command prompt type ipconfig and hit Enter on your keyboard. You will see the IP address of your computer. The IP address of the computer will be like 192.168.1.xxx and Default gateway will be 192.168.1.1.
Now open the Internet browser and in the address bar type the number 192.168.1.1.
It will ask you to enter the User name and password for the router. Leave the user name blank and in the password type admin. It will open the Linksys router setup page.
Under the setup tab you will find Mac address Clone sub-tab. Enable the MAC addres clone and click on the button Clone my PC's MAC. Save the changes. Try to access the Internet on your main computer.
If not able to access the Internet then unplug the power cable to the router and modem. Plug in the power to the modem first. Wait for a minute and then plug in the power to the router. Try to access the Internet.
Once your main computer is able to go on line then you can change the wireless settings of the router.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

Compilation of Lenovo X120e issues and solutions

Just thought a compilation of issues may be beneficial for folks who own an X120e.
Screen adjusts brightness automatically without user input depending on content on screen:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X100e-screen-brightness-increasing-by-itself/td...
This is caused by Vari-Bright being enabled in the Catalyst Control Center. With this option enabled, the screen will automatically adjust its brightness depending on what is shown on the screen. The display brightness is increased when the screen is predominantly white while the display brightness is decreased when the screen is predominantly dark. An easiest way to see this effect happening is to have two tabs opened in a web browser window. Set one tab to display a website that is mainly filled with white pixels (such as this Lenovo Forum) and another tab to display a website that is mainly filled with dark pixels (such as http://www.krijtenberg.nl/ ). Switch between the two, pausing a few seconds in each tab.
Solution:
Open the Catalyst Control Center and select the PowerPlay option in the Power section. Uncheck the Vari-Bright option (or adjust the slider) and click Apply. Verify that the automatic adjustment is no longer occuring by doing the two tab experiment described above.
Function keys for brightness control not working after waking from sleep / hibernation in some instances:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Funtion-keys-for-brightness-not-working/t...
For my X120e, whenever I have it sleeping or hibernating and change the power source (such as initiating sleep when on power and then waking it up while on battery, or vice versa), the function keys for brightness controls do not work.
Solution:
Restarting the machine will bring back functionality of the brightness control keys...
A way to prevent this from happening in the first place is to wake the X120e in the same power state that the X120e was put to sleep in (wake up from power adapter if slept while connected to power adapter, or wake up from battery if slept while on battery).
All we can do now is wait for Lenovo to come up with a fix on their side of things.
AMD SATA Controller and TRIM for SSD:
The AMD SATA Controller provided by Lenovo does not support passing of TRIM command according to http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/450343-post35.html for SSDs. The Lenovo provided AMD SATA Controller is 1.2.1.197, before the official TRIM support in 1.2.1.263. If you're using a HDD, this is of no concern.
Solution:
In order to have support for passing of TRIM command, one has to update the AMD SATA Controller to any version above 1.2.1.263 ( http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#3 for Windows 7 64-bit, for example) or uninstall the AMD SATA Controller to revert back to Microsoft's Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller.
Disclaimer: Since the AMD SATA Controller driver linked is not from Lenovo themselves, I'm sure they won't provide any support if something is to occur so try at your own risk.
As HP79 mentions below, at least according to the update notes, TRIM implementation is implemented for Hudson chipsets as of 1.2.001.263.
Audio Stutter / Slurring occuring during playback of video/audio:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Stuttering-Audio/td-p/389023
This issue can be reproduced (at least on my X120e) by waking the X120e after putting it to sleep. The symptom is the audio repeating a sound over a span of a second or two during playback and is quite noticable.
Solution:
uEFI Bios version 1.11 seems to deal with the audio stuttering issue. So far, results lead to positive outcomes.
Old Solution:
PWMTR64V.DLL that is loaded at Startup seems to be causing this issue. Disabling it from launching when starting up seems to cure the Audio Stutter (even after waking up from sleep which was seen to be a pretty reliable way to get the issue to repro). Start Menu > Launch MSCONFIG from the Search Bar > Select Startup Tab from the System Configuration window > Uncheck Thinkpad Power Manager > Restart.
This does not seem to turn off the power manager application itself so settings in Power Manager can be saved and it seems to still be in effect. However, opening up Power Manager from the notification / taskbar can cause audio stuttering and mouse movement slowdown while it is launching and/or when applying settings. This is only temporary and is gone when Power Manager is closed. (Thanks kns7977 for the find)
Pending to see if those who uninstalled Power Manager are able to turn off the offending startup .dll.
Mouse seems to stutter or stay in place for a moment when moving:
This seems to be caused by the same issue causing the Audio Stutter / Slurring. At least at this time, the cause of the issue and solution seems to be the same.
Emulating Middle Mouse Button with Trackpoint:
One can set up the middle button between the left and right click button for the TrackPoint to act like pressing a middle mouse button on a standard mouse by changing the scrolling type to Smooth instead of the default Standard.
Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Mouse > UltraNav Tab > Setting for TrackPoint > Setting for Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function > Smooth.
Trackpad's two finger gesture being hit or miss:
The trackpad's two finger scrolling is very hit and miss.
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-Touchpad-issues/td-p/393751
Solution: Turning off Gesture Filtering may alleviate the problem. As mentioned in http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/561751-x120e-owners-thread-24.html#post7323293, it seems that the Gesture Filtering is counteracting any sort of two finger input.
Get to Mouse Properties by Fn + F8, select Manage Settings. At Mouse Properties, select the UltraNav tab > Settings for TouchPad. Expand the Smart Check Settings, highlight Gesture Filtering, and uncheck the Enable Gesture Filtering box and Apply.
Screen flickers lines:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Flickering/td-p/389523
Had this issue occur on me once, but never seen it happen again. Unsure what caused or cured it.
Solution:
If the flickering is occuring, a restart is all that is needed to alleviate the problem. Haven't tested if hibernation fixes it, but neither sleep nor turning off the screen with the Power Manager dealt with the flickering.
3-Cell Battery mentioned as a 40Wh in the Order Page of Lenovo X120e when it is actually rated as 32Wh according to Power Manager:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-3-cell-40Wh-battery-reported-as-32Wh-by-P...
Yeah...
Solution:
Accept that it's a 32Wh you will get when selecting 3-Cell or go for the 6-Cell if you want more than 32Wh.
2x2 ABGN Driver from Lenovo triggering Error Code 10:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-ABGN-Driver-issue-in-Windows-7-Pro-x64/td...
The Wireless driver from Lenovo's site seems to not work with the 2x2 ABGN wireless when installed on a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64.
Solution:
Not really quite a solution, but one can bypass this by either installing the 32-bit Windows 7 and installing the 32-bit driver, or using the factory recovery disc to install 64 bit windows 7 to have it install drivers that work for x64 windows 7.
X120e bluescreens after installing LAN Realtek 7.26.902.2010 drivers from Lenovo's Driver download site.
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-bluescreen-when-installing-lan-drivers/td...
The drivers doesn't seem to work and it causes a bluescreen on fresh installed Windows 7 x64.
Solution:
As Clicq suggests, Realtek's own drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTy... seems to deal with the issue.
Screen quality on the X120e:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-poor-LCD-quality-viewing-angles/td-p/3945...
The quality of the screen on an X120e is below expectations.
This is common with low-quality TN panels not helped by glossy displays. My personal X120e screen likes to bleed certain colors of red.
Solution (not really):
One can use the Windows 7 built-in color calibration tool to adjust the colors to make it more tolerable. Adjusting your own viewing angle in relation to the screen might deal with some color issues (hard to figure out what's the correct viewing angle because of TN panel's small range of optimal viewing angles). Also, changing the refresh rate to 60Hz may deal with some headaches due to the screen (as it did for me).
HDMI Overscan to HDTV issue:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/HDMI-overscan-to-HDTV-issue-on-x120e/m-p/395335
There is a black border when outputting to HDTV through HDMI.
Solution:
AMD's CCC by default sets a specific value for overscan / underscan. One can http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Output-to-TV-via-HDMI-port-black-border-on-the-... while the device is connected via HDMI (the option is hidden if the HDMI port is not used) and adjust the slider to an acceptable value.
Skype asserts after 10-20 seconds of video chat:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Skype-quits-after-10-20-seconds-of-video/...
When doing a video chat, the video feed will freeze and then skype will crash to desktop.
Solution:
Version 5.3 of Skype seems to be the culprit. Until Skype itself is fixed, one can use Skype 5.2.60.113 from http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/changelog/9465/ to bypass this issue. Just reject any offer to update to 5.3 after installing 5.2, for now.
If there is anything I missed, please respond and I'll update this post with new information. These are the ones that I have encountered so far with my Lenovo X120e. Don't get me wrong, I like my X120e... it's just been a "learning" experience lol

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

OS 10.3.1 Update - issues and question on how to uninstall / rollback

Hi.
Up front, I'm trying to remain calm, professional, objective. Pretty sure I've missed the mark, but, then, read on...
I'm having some issues with OS 10.3.1 update. Before anyone says search the boards, I have. For hours. On various websites. I'd appreciate (but am not hopeful for) an official response from BlackBerry.
1. I am using a Z30. Carrier is Rogers Wireless (Canada) Updates are set to off. Yet, unbelievably, the update came down anyway, when I was driving, didn't know until I got home. Device rebooted and now 10.3.1xxxx is on my smartphone.
ISSUES:
1. The screen blacks out. EVERY TIME I wake it, the display is zoomed in. I have to gesture and gesture and gesture to get the display to fit the screen so I can unlock the phone.
2. The home screen is not customisable, and is the default. Now I have to swipe to get to either the hub or my applications. Twice the work = 1/2 the productivity.
3. The much-vaunted Assistant does what, exactly? All I know is when I did voice dialing via Bluetooth earpiece, the call would (75% of the time) be made. The other 25% of the time, I have to tell it "Call Mom Home" is not the same as "search battery charge". Yeah, my bluetooth is a very expensive, highly-rated one that has no issues in recognition with any other device. Now, the Voice part (Assistant?) doesn't make ANY calls. At best, it offers me suggestions, usually not related (Linda <> Tom) and wastes my time reading out multiple PHONE NUMBERS. Good grief, If I knew the darn phone number, I'd just tell it, Call (phone number). It'd be faster than sitting through all that. Otherwise, Voice Assistant whatever doesn't do much of anything for me. I have it set, as far as I can tell, to do the minimum, not interact with everything on my phone.
4. Although the new Camera app now (finally!) renders colours more-or-less correctly, whereas before everything was tinted blue, I'm not a fan of the new positioning of the controls. Putting the video button beside the "Take picture" button is ridiculous. The touch sensitivity is so off, that I find myself recording video rather than taking a wanted picture --- and the moment is lost. I really miss being able to tap the screen to take a picture. Now I have to aim for a small dot at the bottom. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone!
5. More on the Camera front, it's now difficult to get to photos. As in, I touch the icon to bring up the list of photos, and the latest shot never appears. I have to swipe to find it. And in a different direction now.
6. In the Hub, especially, the "select multiple" used to be right in the middle of the menu. Now I have to scroll down to find and activate it.
7. What's with the honking battery drain? More tinkering required on my part to get it back to the 4-day standby I used to enjoy?
MISSED FEATURES UPDATES:
1. I was really hoping this latest update with display the NUMBER of the phone entry. Such as Work 1, Work 2, etc. I find it useful to assign direct number always as Work 1, then toll free as Work 2, Main reception as Work 3, Home as Work 4, and so on. Then it's easy to use (or used to be) voice dialling to call the number I want without knowing what the number actually is. I was also hoping the update would eliminate that so offensive message "next time, just say call xxxxx Mobile 2" or whatever. Which I darn well would, if there was anything in the contacts to display the sequence of numbers.
2. Calendar. Seriously, why can't I set a reminder for somewhere between 3 and 7 days???? I'm so tired of setting one for (7-3) days, doing the calculation in my head to bypass weekends or other events) then having to update the reminder when I get to the BlackBerry-approved 3 day range. Other smart phones allow any custom setting. Allow me to also ask, put the custom reminder FIRST. Don't make us scroll all the way to the bottom to find it!
3. Allow me to put my most-used icons on the fricking HOME SCREEN! I don't care about the cutesy pictures. I care about getting my job done as quickly and conveniently as possible.
4. Fix the darn voice control mechanism. I bought expensive Bluetooth pieces. All I want to do is do voice dialling. That's it.
5. Give me some control over the spell check. There's no way to edit the words that are "learnt" through monitoring usage.
6. Enough with the US-marketing. Mountain Time is Mountain Time. Not US-Mountain Time. I'm not picking something like that, I don't care who that offends. It's as dumb as as settting time zones (as Apple used to) to "Calgary, Alberta." I don't live in Calgary. I do live in the GENERIC Mountain time Zone.
7. Speaking of, I also speak English. Not US-English with US-spelling. How about giving Canada some love
8. Give me the option to rollback the update. Or at least choose which parts I want.
9. Expand support for file formats. At this point, I can only load documents onto my smartphone if they're Adobe or Microsoft Office. Here's the thing - I operate in the Corel WordPerfect universe. So the Z30 is limited in what I can / can't do with it. Why on earth can't I just copy my FILES to my phone? Even if I can't edit them, I can use the whopping 64 GB memory chip as a flash drive to take my files with me when I travel. I don't always take a computer ...sometimes I use what's at destination. Plus having them on the phone SHOULD allow me to email them or send in other ways...whether or nor BlackBerry can read them.
===================
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:
Better - release an immediate UPDATE to fix these problems and add the features I've noted above. Surely I'm not the only one struggling with the built-in limitations of the interface and info-displays.
Please tell me how I can rollback / uninstall / whatever this "update".
I shudder to think the only solution is to backup, restore, then reload the Z30. Others have tried and have not been successful.
MORE VENTING;
The only reason I'm still on BlackBerry is that the issues and to an extent a difference in perspective regarding phone layout / features are still less problematic on BB Z30 than they are on ios or android platforms. Absolutely in my opinion. But then, I'm the one with a frustration level well into the redline.
Thanks for reading. I'll be even more grateful for some resolution.

A POSSIBLE FIX FOR RE1000 CONNECTION ISSUES!

My Amazon Review for the Linksys RE1000:
I have been an Amazon customer for several years and this is my first review ever. I'm only taking the time to post this review due to my utter frustration with this product.
Here are the bullet points of my experience.
1) I consider myself to be extremely tech savvy and pride myself on having the patience to eventually get technology to work.
2) I have purchased two of these units. I returned the first one out of frustration (also wanted to rule out a defective unit) and spent countless hours trying to make the second one work. As many reviewers have stated this unit constantly drops the router/internet connection. Mine never lasted for more than two minutes at best. It just constantly cycled the connection on and off over and over again.
3) Linksys Tech Support is provided by foreign nations and proved totally worthless.
4) I literally tried every tech suggestion I could find online via Google. I did my best to leave no stone unturned assuming somewhere there had to be an answer. If you can find a suggestion online, believe me, I tried it.
5) After 6 hours with my second unit, VICTORY! Through a rigorous trial and error process I FINALLY GOT MY UNIT TO WORK!!!
6) My solution (not sure if it's going to be everyone's): 1 - Flash the unit with the most updated firmware via the support site (using an Ethernet cable). 2 - Download the auto setup program from the Linksys website and run it following all the instructions. 3 - Here's the MAGIC TRICK that worked for me. Once you have it set up and running you are free to change any setting in the firmware EXCEPT "WPS" under "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" which is under "Basic Wireless Settings". I REPEAT in the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" under "Basic Wireless Settings", "WPS" must REMAIN ENABLED and LEFT SET AS IT IS during the auto setup. 4 - Use a static IP address and 20 Mhz only for channel width to ensure a stable connection and to minimize wireless interference. 5 - Verify the proper strength and quality of the signal under "WLAN Statistics" and reposition the unit (and/or change the router channel) as necessary.
7) I have TESTED this multiple times, turning the WPS on and off repeatedly. My connection drops or stays active based ONLY upon this setting (even after plugging and unplugging the unit from the electrical socket). I can literally set my watch by it. No other setting has this negative effect and I've changed them all.
8) I suspect half of the reviews are positive regarding this unit because many are simply using the auto setup successfully and then leaving their settings untouched. Unwittingly touch the wrong setting (WPS) and you're back to square one with a useless gray box.
9) This unit has the potential to be an excellent product, instead it's a nightmare to deal with. My guess is it's a victim of lousy firmware and lousy quality control via Linksys. The shame is it could probably be quickly fixed with a simple firmware update.
10) I hope this review helps others with their frustrations. I'd be curious to know.

PS: One last tip! If you really want to play it safe, be sure set your router's LAN IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.107.1 for example). That is the default address for the RE1000 and it's been known to cause an IP conflict with many routers that use the same default IP address. Apparently changing the static IP address on the RE1000 is not enough, as the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 still adheres to the RE1000 (hidden somehow) even after the fact for some unknown reason.

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade. No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all. I gave in and tried the hair dryer method. Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute. Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again. That was 2 days ago. Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again! Hopefully this will last. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try. Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

you will be fine if you have warranty
If not Apple won't want to know
I know I've tried but they will not help.
I've email bbc watchdog the consumer
Programme to see if they can help.

Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled. Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
I've had iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

MacBook Japanes keyboard issue (and very poor Apple customer service)

I AM A BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED APPLE CUSTOMER / USER.
Over the past 3 years I have been a loyal purchaser and user of Apple products. I have bought a PowerBook G4 17", 2 Airport Extremes, 2 Airport press, 2 Ipods, 2 Nanos, 1 Shuffle, Aperture, various accessories and more recently a black MacBook.
I have relocated to Japan with my job in the past few month where I purchased my MacBook from an official large retailer (Yodobashi in Tokyo) because I was buying many other household items at the same time. My laptop works beautifully but is equipped with a Japanese keyboard (katakana) which is proving very confusing for all non Japanese users (incl. myself).
I visited the Apple flagship store in Ginza (Tokyo)to share my request. I was informed that they could swap the keyboards but only for laptops purchased in the flagship store. I believe that my Apple product merits the same level of customer care as an Apple product purchased in that store.
With this in mind, I am still seekigng a solution to my issue and would be grateful for some help. I believe that as a loyal customer and an English speaking user, I am entitled to being able to swap my keyboard (particularly as the service is provided).
Does anyone have any useful hints as to how I get my keyboard swapped (by Apple preferably to avoid voiding the warranty).
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10) x

Hi desalaberry.
Welcome to macbook forum.
I am not to familiar with Japan authorized service center and their apple store policy, you also can check this:
http://www.apple.com/jp/store/english/
Keyboard and Mac OS Language
Your Mac can be ordered with an English language (U.S.) style keyboard, or Japanese - the choice is yours. The Mac OS X operating system supplied with your Mac is multilingual so can be set up in English and a large range of international languages.
If your macbook still returnable, just return that to the original store and order one with english layout on apple store at Ginza or other near you:
http://www.apple.com/jp/retail/business/
(scroll down to bottom)
Other way is to buy wired or wireless english layout mac keyboard and connect that to your macbook.
Hope ypu can talk it out with them.
Good Luck

Ongoing WiFi issues and Apple Support's lack of support!

Hi All,
I bought my MacBook Air in July/August 2012 (i7, 8GB RAM, 256 GB HDD, Mountain Lion). Since the first day, I have had issues with wifi connectivity. My primary use was at the university in Australia, where I had frequent drop outs and at times no connection at all. the university does not officially support Apple products and I was stuck with Apple support asking me to check with network administrators. I was also advised to re-install the OS, reset PRAM etc with no improvements. Then I had a 4 month stint as an exchange student in an Indian university. As i was not using my laptop at the university, I couldnt monitor the WiFi connectivity in these 4 months. Once back in Australia in January 2013, the issue surfaced again. Multiple conversations with Apple Support led me to another 4 re-installations and replacing my router with an uber expensive one. The reasons given by Apple were either the router's quality or interference from other networks. The new router supported 5Ghz band and had no intereference what so ever. I started to notice that the connectivity is far better with the wifi signal showing full range, but internet does not work. All is well if I am sitting right next to the router. The minute i move 5-8 metres away, Internet becomes super slow (from 12-14 Mbps to 1-2 Mbps on speedtest.net) and eventually does not load. At the same time, all other devices, including my iphone 5, ipad 2, ipad mini and other PCs in the apartment works perfectly fine.
On speaking to Apple Support, i was asked to conduct SNR checks and found out that the SNR readings fluctuate like ****. From 1-2 to 25-30. The Signal strength on my MacBook Air stays at -75dB to -65 dB. Armed with this info, the Airport card was replaced. But the issue still persists. The MacBook Air is presently at Apple waiting to get its display (antennas are embedded here) replaced. But I have lost total confidence in Apple. Is there anyone who had similar issues and found a stable solution? Other symptoms which may be connected are Mail becoming nonresposive intermitently, Power Nap function not working, battery life never more than 4 hours.
Apple Support has been appalling in a very courteous manner. Even though the commincation and care they took to talk to me, the issue hasnt been solved and its been 11 months!!
Any comments, advices and support will be appreciated.
Thank You!

I am sorry, maybe my comment was vague. I am an engineer too albiet in the medical devices sector. Problem for me is that, I have been talking to Apple for about 11 months now. If you know where I live and how far the Apple Store is, you'd understand my frustration. I have been accomodating so far and do love the customer service experience I get from Apple. I am a proud owner of 2 iPads, an iPad mini, an iPod classic, an iPod Touch, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 besides the MacBook Air. They are the most courteous and receptive Customer Service Reps out there. But all the courtesy does not hide the fact that my MBA is 11 months old and still having an issue starting 11 monthds ago. I had taken this machine to the stores numerous times. With the last week, i was getting to a point where I felt I have done enough to try everything except replacement of the machine to try fixing this issue. But now, Apple wont play ball. the rep said, i quote "your machine is almost a year old and you cant expect Apple to replace it". they have support call documents to prove that i have been talking to them about the issue since 11 months and to top it all, I have also purchased the $279 extended warranty. At the time of purchase the rep promised me that 'I would be send a box containing a loan machine while yours can be sent to us and fixed'. if you go through my posts here in mac forum, I had raised the issue here as well.
Now coming to the question, I have exhausted my options with Apple support and wanted to know if anyone else had the same issue and found a fix. With that maybe i can stop pulling my hair apart - realistically, stop myself from making another long trip to the Apple Store.

Hi,
Did you find a solution to this? We are running into the same issue since upgrading to Weblogic 9.2.3 for WebCT Vista 8.0.4.
Thanks,
Ron

Why do I get this error when trying to use my bluetooth headset as a listening device? There was an error connecting to your audio device. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.
