Recommendations for good wireless repeaters

I have a Linksys WRT610N router.  It works fine.  However, I have it at one end of my house, because that's where the phone line comes into the house and I've got DSL.  Therefore, the wireless signal gets weak towards the other end of the house, especially for 802.11g.  Today I learned that there's a thing called wireless repeaters.  This sounds like a great idea, and may help me with being able to get the G band to the rest of the house.  What makes/models of wireless repeaters would work best with my WRT610N router, especially for 802.11g?

  • Can anyone recommend a good wireless receiver? Airport dead

    My airport will only receive 56k speeds (see massive, 12,000 views+ thread which apple seem to be ignoring for more on this issue...). I've tried to shop around today for a wireless receiver to just plug into the USB port so i can disable the Airport altogether, but i'm really struggling to find a Mac compatible one. The only one i could find was one of those teeny tiny micro-sized USB plug-ins which are only really decent for very light web browsing. I need something which can download huge files without any trouble.
    I'd really appreciate any help. I'm so frustrated by this internet issue i'm thinking of just ebaying the damned thing and never looking back.

  • Can someone recommend a good wireless usb adapter for an iMac?

    I would rather use a wireless usb adapter instead of having to purchase an airport card. Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance,
    Christine

    This is the discussion area for Intel-based iMacs. Since you have an iMac G5 you probably want to make any future posts in the iMac G5 discussion area.
    Its probably cheaper to get an AirPort Extreme card but you might want to take a look at www.macwireless.com

  • Can anyone recommend a good wireless router for both Mac and PC?

    Hello! I am looking to purchase a wireless router, and was told that Linksys in general (and a specific model in particular) isn't Mac-friendly. I need a nuetral router that works well with my MacBook and my Dell laptop (which I need to purchase a wireless card for). I also have a PC but I can just connect it via Ethernet cable.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
    MacBook 1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    hi - Linksys wireless routers work fine with macs (i
    have one)...
    perhaps the reason you heard they're not mac friendly
    is because the software they give you to configure
    the router only runs under wintel.... but you really
    don't need that software...
    one can have total control over the setup simply by
    firing up a web browser (on a machine either directly
    connected to the router via ethernet or w/ a wireless
    connection) and going to http://192.168.1.1/
    that'll get you talking directly to the router...
    i'm actually not aware of any routers that really
    don't work well w/ macs... so i think you can just
    choose based on features & price...
    cheers
    p.s. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I currently am trying to set up a linksys router. Unfortunately, I dont know what to do once i am at the router's config page to make it start working. Can you help me out? thanks.

  • Your best recommend for a wireless headset/bluetooth for Skype

    Anyone found something that delivers?
    Thanks

    The Motorola HT820 works great. It is one of my all-time best purchases. http://direct.motorola.com/ens/BTStereoHSWebProductHome.asp?country=USA&language=ENS
    It works with my MB Pro, in Skype. It works with my iPod, using the iMuffs Bluetooth transceiver, from Wi-Gear. Naturally, it works with my Motorola phone. It also comes with a cable for use as a wired headset, so it works on the airplane, in place of the cheesy headphones that the airlines provide. That cable also allows you to use the headset as a wired headset for the Mac, while on the airplane. However, the cable option is only for headphones, so the mic does not work with the wired connection.
    You start by setting up a new Bluetooth headset, from your Bluetooth preferences panel and add it to your favorites. You only have to do this once. Note: You do NOT have to select the HT820 as your system sound device. You only need to do that in Skype.
    To use it in Skype, you make sure that the headset is off. Then, hold the power button (left side) down for about 8 seconds (till the blue light starts pulsing) to put it into "find-me" mode. Then, in the Skype preferences panel, select the HT820 for both the input and output. In a moment, you will be prompted for the security code. Type "0000" and hit "Return". You will hear a tone in the headset and the blue light stops pulsing. You are connected.
    To save battery on the headset, it is a good idea to go back and select the default input and output, when you are through using the headset.
    When you want to go back to using the HT820 on your cell phone, you will probably have to tell your cell phone to re-connect to the HT820. For me, this step requires only that the HT820 is turned on.
    Motorola now makes a much smaller version of this headset, as well. I have seen it, but I have not tried it out. The model is MOTOROKR S9. I have seen it at the Cingular/AT&T store and at Radio Shack. As I understand, the only difference is that it uses "bud" style speakers on the headset, instead of over-the-ear speakers and the Bluetooth electronics and battery are integrated in the headband, behind the neck, instead of in the speaker housings.
    I highly recommend the Motorola HT820. If you have an iPod with a dock connector, then I also recommend the iMuffs Bluetooth transceiver (MA110 - http://www.wi-gear.com/products/imuffs/ma110.php), to pair with the HT820, so you can go totally wireless. It is much smaller than the transceiver from Ten Technology. However, the Wi-Gear headset had problems and I had to return them.
    Good luck.

  • Recommendation for home wireless service in So Cal?

    I need to purchase wireless internet service for new home in Southern California.  I currently use ATT DSL.  After briefly switching to ATT Uverse on advice of ATT customer service when I wanted to upgrade to faster service and old airport apparently stopped working correctly, it was a disaster. (There is a separate conversation on the Apple Forum about the experience.) After much hassle I switched back to ATT DSL and bought a new airport.  Things have worked fine since, although my son still thinks it takes too long to download movies. We are a Big Mac household - iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone 5, two MacBook Airs, iTouch - and an oddball Droid phone. New home currently uses Verizon phone and internet service through Time Warner (I'm choosing to go with Direct TV). 
    So my questions - Does Verizon wireless internet service work well with a household full of Macs? I prefer to use an Airport. Is there a modem and/or router that Verizon uses that is good or bad? Fios or DSL? (I had a horrible experience with the modem/router with the Uverse disaster.) Has the modem/router/Mac connection improved with Uverse? Or should I just stick with what I know works for me - ATT DSL even though its not the fastest speed?
    I'm not technologically sophisticated (this is probably obvious), so would appreciate replies in plain English.  Thanks!

    DSL is yesterday's technology:
    BEST is Verizon FIOS (or ATT Uverse) depending if either has fiberoptic cable to your door (call each to find out; they will know from your address).  Be careful, ATT is now calling their non-fiberoptic service Uverse; so ask about fiberoptic!
    I use Time-Warner Internet at its fastest consumer speed.  I am currently uploading a 16GB file to an associate in UK and it will take 18 hours (remember upload is always much slower than download).  I think my service is 20 or 30 down and 1 up; at about $40/month.  I have multiple routers to connect it to many Macs, iPhones, AppleTVs, home entertainment systems, etc.
    Stay away from satellite; it is ONLY for internet service to the boonies...
    FYI: I use DirecTV (and a roof-top antenna) for TV and T-Mobile for both VoIP at home and iPhone 5. Everyone HATES the Time-Warner cable service due to their monopoly in So. Cal.
    T-Mobile has best monthly rates in So. Cal for iPhone 5 AND you can purchase additional data for tethering (using your iPhone as a WiFi HotSpot or with BlueTooth, as I use it at an off-line office that has no internet service).  AND you can talk and internet at the SAME TIME, unlike Verizon which on the iPhone is one or the other.
    Soon T-Mobile will implement their UMA/WiFi Calling feature for the iPhone; already implemented on Blackberry, Android and other phones.  This allows FULL T-Mobile talk and text coverage ANYWHERE in the world where you have access to WiFi.  I use it with my Blackberry on every trip to London or at my girlfriend's house in the hills above Santa Cruz by swapping the SIMM card, now with micro-SIMM adapter.

  • Recommendations for a wireless setup

    I have a Mac Pro, but it doesn't have any Bluetooth or wireless access. I've been thinking about remedying this so I can use the laptop in the other room or on the couch or... well, y'know. Freedom.
    The Mac Pro is attached to the internet via cable-modem setup.
    What would folks recommend to make the Mac Pro a wireless server for the laptop?
    Tony

    After the keynote today, I would recommend purchasing the new Time Capsule which is also an Airport Base station as well as a 500 GB or 1 TB NAS and wireless networking router and storage. That Time Capsule and its wireless networking and storage is so much more necessary than a cute MBA.!
    With that, you would hook it up to your cable modem and then ethernet to your MAC PRO that does not have its own wireless. Then you would have a new wireless and wired network which would allow your computers to talk to each other and the internet.

  • Recommendations for BYOD Wireless

    Hey Everyone,I am looking for the best/easiest way to incorporate a BYOD wireless network.This wireless network is solely for student and teacher home/non domain devices. A separate network will be setup for outside guest users. We run Active Directory here so I am thinking radius is the way to go. We have a Cisco WLC 5508 Controller with 3602 APs.I setup a network based on the directions in this link:https://networklessons.com/wireless/peap-and-eap-tls-on-server-2008-and-cisco-wlc/but found it somewhat cumbersome to use when connecting with an iOS device or Android device because of the certificates. What are my other options that might make the process easier? Is there a way to securly set this up without certificates?If certificates are needed will a certificate from a public CA make thejoin process easier for iOS users (we have a...

  • Recommendation for good sound card for test & measurem

    There are quite a lot sound card based oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, signal generator softwares, such as multi-instrument?. An ordinary?sound card?can only measurement signal within 20Hz~20000Hz range (with flat frequency response),? I would appreciate it very much if anyboday here could recommend a sound card that can extend the above frequency range as?wider as possible, towards both the lower end and higher end.

    Such software is pure bullhit, because every soundcard has its flaws, wich will render the results unuseable. And the next point: most soundcard- drivers and the OS itself are changing the signal in a different manner. Maybe vollume boost, or reverb effects, some signal changing to get better results in terms of audio quality and signal clarity, and so on. Get a Oscilloscope. Maybe you will need to sell your house for a good one, but this is the only good solution ^^?The best soundcard for this purpose is not a real soundcard, but a recording card. There are some expensi've models out there, especially terratec or EMU. (I dont know really if EMu is selling REAL recording cards)Message Edited by fffcmad on 0-5-20082:24 PM

  • Any recommendations for good handwriting recognition app?

    I've got an HP G3110 scanjet scanner and I'll be importing diaries. Any suggestions for a good application to do OCR for handwriting ( HWR - handwriting recognition)?

    I've grumbled quite a bit about Nike's handling of the Nike+ website, so it's nice to have something positive to say about the company...
    I went into my local Apple store and picked up a pair of Nike Flight headphones (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/1184000/wo/484La pM6sv1k3FyDEJH2vRI3ZMv/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.3.3) and I've been pleasantly surprised. The sound quality is reasonably good, and they're comfortable for me while jogging. (Since I know it was an issue for me, I'll mention that I wear glasses, and these are comfortable for me to run in with my glasses on.)
    Again, I'm not praising the sound quality as being stellar, just good enough. I still use my Grado headphones when at home. But the Nike's are comfortable while running, and they're reasonably priced.

  • Can anyone recommend a good wireless webcam?

    I wouldd like to set up a wireless web cam in my 8 month oldd son's room as a baby monitor, as the ones you can buy in the shops tend to interfere with my existing wireless network.
    I found a couple of suitably cheap ones (under £100) from Linksys, but they are only windows compatible (the video viewer is a windows app). DLink make some, but I am not sure if they will work with Safari.
    Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonably-priced wireless webcam thhat will definitely work with a Mac.

    I can't recommend a specific camera but do know which ones to avoid. As you have found out avoid cams that require windows to setup. Also avoid wireless cameras that don't support WPA security. Most cams don't have security or they use WEP this means anyone could be outside your house looking through your camera!.

  • Taking recommendations for good sync/backup program (other than Time Machine)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm on the lookout for a good file synchronization program (other than Time Machine) which I can use to make one-way backups of specific subdirectories. The ideal program would do the following:
    1) Do one-way synchronization of user-selectable subdirecotries within a directory A to directory B either on same hard drive or on external hard drive
    2) Can be set up to make sure that B has the exact subdirectories/files as A, deleting any that are not present in A and adding anything that is added to A or anything that has been changed in A
    3) Will not generate useless junk files that require me to manually clean up after them
    4) Will not alter files and directories in A in any way
    5) Will be inexpensive
    6) Will not interfere with Time Machine, which I already use to backup multiple volumes to a single external hard drive.
    I checked the App store first, but was disappointed that all three apps had mixed reviews, and none had recent reviews attesting to their efficacy (which I always interpret as a bad sign).
    I also did a quick search for third-party programs, but their websites will only have good reviews, so naturally I'm checking here first.
    Basically, I want this program so that I can use it to sychronize files to my Cloud (Box, Google Docs, Dropbox) directory to share with my friends, and also to make redundant backups of sensitive files to additional external hard drives not being utilized by Time Machine.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    CCC can be set up to copy just selected directories, or the entire disk.  It does not need to make a full clone (although a full clone is a good way to have*something* that functions in case of emergency).
    I take the approach of using a tool that can do much more than simple because it can do *that much more* in a pinch.
    I gave my best advice, and have not investigated in more specialized tools.
    Good luck to you.

  • Recommendations for good mouse pad for new Magic Mouse?

    Hi, I have several mouse pads with a microfiber, but my new Magic Mouse doesn't operate smoothly on them. Sometimes it hangs up, or is slower to move than at other times. I tried an expensive one made of coated glass, but the noise of the Magic Mouse (with its two long strips) rubbing on the coated surface was too much, so I returned it. Any recommendations? Thanks! Duncan

    I have one of these. Works great, looks cool next to the keyboard!
