Showing two wireless networks cant use one

I have two routers in to differant metal buildings and a pc on each and three lap tops. one lap top well see bouth wireless but will not connect to one, but it well the outher weak one and it isnt the security.

Hi… What is the wireless encryption level you selected on your Network? If it is WPA or WPA2 then make sure your wireless adapter supports this encryption and selected algorithm (TKIP or AES). Also make sure that your OS supports the same. If you are using windows XP, then try installing the SP2 patch along with WPA2 patch.

I have two wireless networks want use ether one.

product = hp officejet 8500A premium
OS = win7 ultimate 64
I have (netgear 2.4gz and 5ghz) can i setup 8500a prem to use ether one? I have my laptop setup so I can choose ether of the two. the default is the 2.4 but sometime I sign on to the 5ghz. Can I get the 8500A to see both so I can print from which ever network im using?

Do you have a dual-band router or two routers? If it is is a dual band router, make sure each band uses the same network name and password. The printer can only connect to a 2.4GHz band.

Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
Here is my set-up:
Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
"Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
*Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
In case this helps:

Apple TV doesn't show any wireless networks

Hi,
I was using ATV with my Belkin router for connecting to my home network.Recently, I got timecapsule and setup wireless network which I am able to connect to using iphone and my macbook.I had also setup ATV to connect to wireless network created using timecapsule.Recently my ATV doesnt recognise any wireless networks. There are around 20 wireless networks shown on my macbook, but ATV shows none.I tried restarting timecapsule, ATV and everything.,
Can someone please help?

micro usb to the back of the apple tv into the comptuer, open itunes, select the apple tv from the left and follow the onscreen instructions....
if apple tv is 2nd generation just use the micro usb
if the apple tv is 3nd gen you need the power cable and the micro usb cable
hope this helps

If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

Using two wireless networks simultaneously

I have a Linksys WRT54G and a Time Capsule, and I want to be able to use the N speed of my TC for backups without it being wired to anything (I keep it hidden in the house somewhere).
What I'd like to do is to have the iMac join two networks, one for Internet and another for TC, but try as I might, I can't get that to work. It's like I can only turn on one network or the other. I have to have TC join the LinkSys' network as a G client.
Alternatively, if the TC could be a G client and a G+N provider, that would work, too.
So can anyone think of a way to get either of these scenarios set up?

Hi tamboril,
You cannot simultaneously join more than one wireless network so your first solution won't work. You could simultaneously connect wirelessly to your Linksys and wired to your TC (or vice versa) and, so long as only one of them supplied a default gateway and they supplied IP addresses on different subnets, then that would work.
I think that you may be able to use the TC as an 'extender' but I'm not sure if that requires a wired connection between the two APs or if it can be both client and base station. If it is possible to be a repeater then you may find that you don't get much benefit from running G to the Linksys and N to the client.
Rgds,
Guy

WRT610n my computer not showing 5GHz wireless network

WRT610 dual band wireless router. I set up 2 networks that are suppose to run simultaneously one at 2.4GHz and one at 5GHz. When I try to connect to a wireless network, my computer only shows the 2.4 network being available. Why? I have a Belkin wireless n USB network adapter. Also, will my 2.4 GHz network support wireless n?

You need an adapter that supports the 5GHz spectrum to use that band.
I don't think I know of any belkin adapters that support 5Ghz.
The 2.4Ghz band that you're seeing is more than likely N unless you've set the router to B/G, B only or G only. The only other option is N only or Mixed. Mixed allows B, G and N modes. N mode only, allows the adapter to only function in the N mode of that band.
The 5GHz band only allows A/N ie: Mixed 5GHz mode, where compatible adapters can function in A or N mode and A only or N only. Also, it's significantly less powerful than the 2.4GHz band. The first thing you may want to try is moving as close to the router as you can. If you still can't see the 5GHz SSID you picked, then you need to buy an adapter than supports 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands. They're known as Dual Band adapters, though some sneaky manuf. call older B/G products dual band now. Just make sure the product is advertised as being able to work on the 5Ghz band.
An example of one such product is the Linksys WUSB600N.
Good Luck.

How do I set up time capsule to just backup multiple macs on a wireless network without using the TC in the bridge mode?

I have an AT&T modem that serves as our home wireless network. I wanted to backup up our computer data so I got a time capsule to back up our three household MACs. After purchase, I found how that I needed to put the exising modem in "bridge mode" so the Time capsule would establish the network. Four frustrating hours later talking to 3 different people at Yahoo, I got the **** thing established. It worked fine for 4 months - then a power failure forced me to repeat the process again. I had to reestablish everything and it took another 4 hours. After 6 months, another power failure forced me to go through the entire process again. Now, of course, Yahoo is charging a fee to help you establish the TC as the network if you have one of their modems - and to make things interesting, they really don't understand MACs. After 5 hours, in frustration, I gave up and asked the Yahoo folks to just put their modem back in as the network hub and I unplugged the Time Capsule. Now after 3 months of looking at an expensive Time Capsule and searching the internet for help, I figured I try the Apple help network,
I just want to backup the data on my MACS. I have a network in the house that works just fine. How do I configure the TC to work as a backup on a wireless network? It seems like it should be simple, but it isn't. Can anybody help?

I have no idea about the modem and bridge mode (I don't do networking -- hopefully Bob Timmons, Tesserax, or one of the other networking gurus will drop in and address that).
But . . . you should be able to back up to the TC as long as it's on your network and recognized by your Macs. I think being in bridge mode means it will be rather slow, but it should work. Until/unless we hear otherwise, you might want to see #Q1 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.

How to show two queries/ aggregation levels in one Chart in Web Template

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding showing a graph in a Web Application template.
The graph has two elements on it. The key figure is average number of working days, but the requirement is to compare number of working days for a granular data level (time spent in each process stage per month) to the average across all process stages across the entire month.
So essentially what we have is a chart with one constant horizontal line across it, which is the overall average, across all process stages, for the whole month, and then underneath this horizontal line, a series of columns showing the average for each process stage, broken down.
I am having trouble getting the base query right for this requirement. It feels like for each process stage, I need two key figures (for the two data series); one average per stage, and the other should be the overall average, populated once for each stage.
I couldn't make this work using cells or replacement path, and I assume that you can only use one data provider per chart in the WAD.
Can anyone help me? Please let me know if you need more info. It's a shame I can't post a picture of the required graph in this post.
Thanks
Mischa

Hi Mischa,
If I am reading your description correctly you should be able to model your two Key Figures in the query by having the two Key Figures exactly the same, exept give one an exception aggregation to average with reference to characteristic 0CALMONTH.
So you have your business process and calendar month in your rows, and the two Key Figures in the columns one with standard aggregation and one with exception aggregation on month. This should give you the KF amount per process wthin each month as well as the average KF amount over the month.
Hope this helps,
Nick

How to show two or more PDF in one PDF-Reader / Concatenate PDF-Files

Hi,
I want to show two or more PDF files in one PDF reader window or to concatenate two or mor PDF files to one file.
We use WD4A and ADS.
Have someone an idea to solve this without an external program?
Thx in advance
Jürgen

We have done this successfully a few times using WDA - it wasn't easy - it took us 2 full weeks to figure it out, so i need to get full points for this one!
It's going to much easier to do this if you start a brand new WDA. If not, you'll have to re-do all your Context Node navigations within your methods.
The first thing you need to do is to define your Context properly:
You need a top level Node defined as 1:1 cardinality (as with all PDF development)
Next, you need another Container Node 1:n cardinality (this holds the collection of content nodes)
Finally, you have your PDF Content Node 1:n cardinality - This holds each instance of your PDF form
In our scenario, we are passed in a list of Project Numbers. We need to generate a PDF sheet for each project in the same PDF session.
pseudo code - i'm leaving out some of the unnessary details
Loop through the project number table.
ADD 1 TO v_cnt.
* navigate from <TOP> to <PDF_CONTAINER> via lead selection
    lo_nd_pdf_container = lo_nd_top->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_pdf_container ).
* This is the Important Part - we check to see if there is an element where index = v_cnt
* If not, we create one where we can store the new set of data
* get element via lead selection
    lo_el_pdf_container = lo_nd_pdf_container->get_element( index = v_cnt ).
    IF lo_el_pdf_container IS INITIAL.
      lo_el_pdf_container = lo_nd_pdf_container->create_element( ).
      lo_nd_pdf_container->bind_element( new_item = lo_el_pdf_container
                                           set_initial_elements = ' '   ).
    ENDIF.
    lo_nd_ideasheet_data = lo_el_pdf_container->get_child_node( 'IDEASHEET_DATA' ).
    lo_el_ideasheet_data = lo_nd_ideasheet_data->get_element( index = 1 ).
* fill all the data then bind the structure
Select * from XXX into lt_XXX
where project_number = lt_project-project_number.
* Move Data to appropriate fields/tables
* Bind the info back to the element
    lo_el_ideasheet_data->set_static_attributes( static_attributes =
                                              ls_ideasheet_data ).
Endloop.

Running two wireless networks simultaneously

I am running two independent 802.11n 5GHz networks simutaneously. Each has a unique SSID. The first network is using channels 36 & 40 and the second network is using channels 44 & 48. When the first network is transmitting data and the second network attemps to transmit, the second network must wait until the first is finished and then start its transmission. If the first network then needs to transmit, it must also wait until the second network is finished. They keep flip-flopping back and forth. Is this normal? I know they have to wait until the "channel" is clear before they can transmit, but I'm using unique channels and unique SSIDs. Anybody have any idea what's happening and how to get around it?

I agree. The Draft N Standard does provide for a "speed drop and wait" period if another N network is running in the same area. I would "guess" that if there is any possible way you can do so - and of course only you know your circumstances, etc., so it may not be an option for some very good reason- consider combining your two units into one network with two accesspoints available on it. This will eliminate the "stop and wait" stuff, give you better coverage than the two separate networks, and be far less sensitive to various slow-downs, etc. If you reason for separating them is because you're isolating the non-N equipment on one network, if you're lucky enough that it's maybe just one or two printers and/or a computer or two - see if you can hardwire them either back to the AEBS N Units or to a powered hub that's then connected to the Base Stations. Getting the 801.11 B&G units off the air and onto hard wired connections will speed them up greatly, and eliminate any problems with these units slowing down your blazingly fast N-network access. I know it sure as **** did so for me. I had two printers (one w/ Ethernet and 1 with USB Only) and I migrated both of them to hard wired connection at the AEBS-N/g. The one non-N computer was literally beside the base station/cable modem anyway - so plugging it into ethernet was no problem at all. The result is that the remaining five or six computers with an "N-spec" card in them jumped in speed to where they can easily outrun anything my Time Warner Cable modem can ever hope to deliver. My whole network suddenly feels like it's hard wired vs airport. Amazing benefit for getting two printers and one aging computer onto ethernet and off the airports.
Good luck! But I am afraid that as long as your networks are seeing another "N" network in the area they're going to do this slow down and wait routine to avoid collision of data and retrys resulting from that.
All the best,
MI
