Splitting Fios signal and using a repeater

I have FIOS and just purchased a flat screen for my office, which I want to hang on the wall.  Issue - Set Box  and where to place it.  I understand I can move the box to a another space and use a repeater to transmit the signal from the box to the TV.  I want to place the box on a shelf under my desk about 5 ft from the tv and out of the way.  Questions:
1.  Rather than run a new FIOS cable to where I want the Box under the desk, can I simply "split" the FIOS sifnal coming in for my internet and run a cable to the box?
2.  Any experience in using the Radio Shack repeaters?
Thanks

1. Should work fine. Radio Shack bidirectional splitters work fine here.
2. I could not recommend any type of repeater or amplfier on the coax, because it would not be bidirectional and support the IP frequencies of the STB. Assuming you mean on the COAX.

  • Is it possible to split a song and use different chords?

    Hi there, I have the following question. I see that I can choose a chord type for the song (eg C Maj or C Min).
    However, if I want to change this further in the song it changes for the full song.
    How can I include a split in the song in such a way that I can use multiple tone types through the song?
    I now do this through transponing up and down but that is probably not the proper way.
    Thanks,
    Arnoud

    The "Transposition Track" will allow you to transpose selected measures to a new key for all tracks and loops in parallel.  Add the transposition track from the menu bar: Track > Show Transposition Track.
    Then command-click in the track to create contro points and drag the line between the control ppoints up or down to transpose that region of the song.
    For example, to transpose a part of a song by a fifth:
    Or, if you only want to transpose a part of a rhythm track, transpose selected loops in the track for a chord progression.

  • How to split an image and use one half and the reverse together?

    Dear Forum,
    I would like to take face pictures and split the faces in half. After that, I would like to use the left side of the face and match it to the reverse left side face together(having 2 left sides which will look like a normal face after the 2 sides will be brought together).
    So:
    1. picture of a human face (head)
    2. slipt the face in half
    3. remove the right side
    4. highlight the left side and make a reverse image
    5. put together the real left side and the reverse left side in one face
    How that is possible with Photoshop?

    Thanks ! Sounds easy. I should have posted the question BEFORE the several hours spent trying to figure it out. I appreciate the time and effort.

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
    Apple AirPort Networks
    Designing AirPort Networks
    AirPort Express Setup Guide
    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • I am trying to conect a wrv200 to a WRT54GS v4 and use the WRT54GS as a repeater?

    i am trying to connect a wrv200 v1 to a WRT54GS v4 and use the WRT54GS as a repeater? Can this be done i have latest firmware in both.

    you cannot use router as a repeater... router has only AP mode it will broadcast the signals but it will not repeate wireless signals.

  • Computer wont start up, goes to BSOD for split second, restarts and repeats cycle

    Had an HP laptop for a few months, everything was working fine until today when I was using my laptop in the car using spotify, then spotify froze and my comp froze so I restarted and to my dismay my computer would not boot. After pressing the on button, my computer would display the starting windows text and logo for an abnormal amount of time and then show the blue screen of death for a split second. Then it would repeat the cycle again and again
    I tried to system restore using the f11 button on startup, it would say loading files and then starting windows and then I end up at a grey screen with only the cursor and nothing else. Can move the cursor but theres nothing to click on
    Help!! How to fix or do a system restore to factory settings

  • New to FiOS, can I use my own modem and router

    I saw several questions similar to mine, but none that I saw answered my question for my scenario. I am sorry if this is a duplicate. I am new to FiOS. I have no other services from Verizon and do not plan to get any. No phone, no television, nothing. Just Internet. God willing, the installation will take place in two days. My house already has coaxial cabling. I have my own cable modem, a SURFboard SB6121, which goes to my router, a TP Link TL-WR941ND. None of my equipment advertises that it is FiOS compatible. I've seen other people asking about using their own modem and router, but in those cases the scenario involved other bundled services, and I understand a FiOS router is necessary to forward ports to television, phone, and computers. However, in my very simple scenario, can the Verizon optical network terminal simply feed its output to my coax, from there to my modem, then router, then comptuers? Is there any reason that wouldn't work? Verizon technical support just gave me a machine that wanted to help me troubleshoot my Internet connection, and I couldn't get from there to a human. Thanks in advance for the help!

    Banish the word and the device called "modem" from your home when using FiOS.  FiOS does not use modems.  Your cable modem is useless with FiOS.  Do not plug it in. FiOS uses routers.  The router connects to the ONT's WAN port using MoCA (coax) or Ethernet.  The installer will enable one of the ONT's WAN ports.  If you order 150Mbps or higher speeds, they will have to use Ethernet.  For slower speeds, coax is the default.  Many installers will use Ethernet if you ask nicely, but usually only if it isn't too much work.  Make sure it's easy to connect a router to the ONT using Ethernet, and you should be okay.  If Ethernet needs to be run through the walls, your best choice is get it done ahead of time.  You can always call later and get the ONT's WAN port switched. The only routers available with a MoCA WAN port are the Verizon models.  The Verizon routers are good devices for most users.  People who like to tweak their networking gear don't like them as many advanced features are limited or locked down.  You can't run any other router firmware on them.  WiFi range is decent, but not great.  I'm quite happy with my Quantum router.  YMMV. If you get Ethernet WAN enabled, you can use any router you want.  However, know that Verizon provides zero support for any other router.  They won't even mention it as an option.  That doesn't mean you can't use one, simply that you must do so without Verizon's help. There are reports that they won't even complete an install without one of their routers to verify service.  If you don't use one of their routers, consider renting one for a month to complete the install or even buying a used one.  If you own a Verizon router, you can install it if you ever suspect Verizon networking issues.  This will allow you to call their support. This FAQ is very helpful:http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 Good Luck.

  • HT3819 I am a teacher. I have an iPhone and iPad for personal use.  I also have an iPod and now an iPad for school use.  Would it be best for me to use home sharing on all 4 devices, or should I split my account and have separate accounts for home & schoo

    My first i device was an iPod touch that I was given for use in my classroom.  Then I got an iPhone for personal use.  Both items are listed under the same username and account.  Since then I now have 2 iPads, one for home and one for work.  I have many apps that are only for work like Math Zombie and Science Facts, and many that are for personal use, like Facebook and YouVersion.  I know that I can synch each device and tell iTunes which apps go on which device.  However at home I use a Mac, and my school computer is a PC.  I am wondering if I should split my account and keep personal separate from work.  Then I can synch all school related devices on the PC and home devices on the Mac.  I realize that there maybe the rare occaision that I might want one app for both accounts.  That's the chance I take on splitting my account.  Are there ay benefits one way or the other?

    Will you be the person paying for apps on both accounts?
    Are you the only person that will use both of the iPads?
    Is there a chance students will be using the work iPad and if so, do you want personal data stored on it?
    If you're the only one using it I'd keep the same account just to have the flexibility of having access to everything on all devices. If your students will be using it or if the school is paying for the school apps I'd keep separate accounts. It all depends on how often you will use school apps from home, and home apps at school. Just some things to consider...

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • How to SEE and USE Pulse Counter Output signal INSIDE my VI?????

    Hello.
    I am using a 6216 AOM board and I currently need to generate a 50 kHz signal for an external AOM, and this has been no problem.
    However, I also need to be able to SEE and USE this signal in my VI
    (for example, to be able to view the signal in a graph, and more
    importantly, to be able to use the signal as an input for a software
    based Lock-In Amplifier).
    How can I do this?
    I've been reading about routing signals and I believe I can do this,
    however, the routing does not solve the problem that I need to be able
    to see and use the signal inside my software.
    Please help!
    Sincerely
    JSL

    HI JSL!
    When you route the signal, you can “see” in an input channel the signal been generating by the output channels being routed, but you need to create the code for the acquisition and this code must have synchronization (start trigger and same sample rate) with the generation code. Then we can use it.
    If this is what you need, please let me know so that we can work on generating a little example. Can you give me more details about how is the signal (sample rates, etc.)?
    Please let me know in case I misunderstood your problem.
