Still trying to find a BT router that works - Mod ...

Had BT Infinity 1 upgraded to 2, installed many moons ago with HH3 and external modem. Internet connection has always been ok but HH3 would never connect without crashing over 2.4Ghz to Apple iPhones. BT sent me both models A & B in attempts to resolve this but in the end I gave up, considered the HH3 not fit for purpose, bit the bullet and bought my own 3rd party router as there was no alternative solution from BT.
My 3rd party router has now failed and, as BT now has alternatives to the HH3, and I've NEVER had a router solution from BT that actually works properly, I'm looking to see if I can now get a solution from BT that should work... Now tempted to move from BT to a competitor which will shave a little off my monthly cost and get me a new router into the bargain.
BT "tech support" said they can only resolve the issue by charging me for a HH5. I don't see why I should have to pay again/more for the original solution BT have *never* been able to get to work, as I consider not being able to connect to an iPhone over standard Wifi without crashing the router as 'not a solution that works'. BT will send be yet another HH3 (!), which I would be fine with if only it worked, but having two so far that don't, just how many times do I have to receive more HH3's before BT find a solution that works/admit the HH3 is NOT a solution!?!
Can the Mods help out here? I'm not demanding a HH5 specfically for free, just a solution that actually works. I really don't think it's reasonable I should have to shell out again for another 3rd party router. I just want a solution that delivers 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi reliably, which is what BT promised their original solution was supposed to be capable of :-(

What makes you sure that it's the HH and not your Apple device?
I work with wireless devices all day, every day (I'm a WLAN consultant).  I've seen more iDevices cause issues than I've had hot dinners.
The problem is that Apple just don't seem to stick to standards.  They'll implement a technology and make some element of that technology work better with other Apple devices than they will with 3rd-party devices.
It's not just limited to Wifi either.  They do this with Bluetooth too.  I've got a Motorola TK30 Bluetooth Hands-Free system in my car.  My Windows and Android phones connect to it perfectly, every time, but my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 disconnect constantly.  When they do connect I have problems making and receiving calls via the 4S and the iPad streams music if it feels like it.  I installed the TK30 because my Parrot was... wait for it... not working with my iPhone!!
Sorry, but IMO the HH3 is fit for purpose.

  • I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad.  I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work?  Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running  10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad.  I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work?  Any suggestions?

    For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
    You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
    If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams  (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library.  And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay.  Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...

  • Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos.  I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

    Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Grandma still trying to find help!

    Want to thank Philly Phan, Brie Fly & Ali Brown for trying to help me last month. I'm still having the same problem. Can anyone tell me what could possibily cause iPhoto v2.0.1 to suddenly grayout all Mail: options except Apple's Mail (which I don't use)? And I cannot delete that option. I had AOL checked & it worked great. I did not change the preference, but something else must have. I have not updatd any software. I did install the software for my new Canon A620 camera. The software was Image Browser & Camera Window.
    I have tried trashing the preferences, Repaired Disk Permissions & ran TechTool Pro 4. I also changed the AOL icon to read America Online as suggested. NO luck.Is there anything else I can try? Help!

    Sylvia,
    "I also have tried trashing the preference for AOL."
    Exactly which AOL preferences have you trashed?
    "I have now trashed Apple’s Mail program..."
    Again, exactly what have you trashed?
    "BUT AOL will not except it and says there’s an error."
    What do you mean it will not except/accept? it?
    What is the error message?
    "And the Finder bounces in the dock"
    This is probably alerting you to the error message. Does it stop bouncing when you view the message?
    "Somewhere in this OSX system there is something that is making iPhoto and AOL not compatible."
    Maybe the camera software? Have you tried uninstalling that?
    "I’ve been told to trash AOL’s data, in the Users folder."
    What AOL data, and exactly where is it located?
    Redo this procedure.
    Quit iPhoto.
    While AOL is not loaded, open your Applications folder.
    Click on AOL under the icon. This should change AOL to an editable text field.
    Rename AOL to America Online.
    Be sure when you type America Online that you enter it exactly as it appears here, with no extra spaces before, in the middle, or after.

  • Still trying to get correct serial numbers that computer will accept

    round and round and round and round.  Keep coming back to here

    This appears to be one of three postings for the same problem ( two other forums ) and you are getting responses in those others but do not appear to be responding to them.
    You haven't provided any information in this version that would enable anyone to provide much more than the following possible information:
    To locate the serial number :

    Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC) :
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html ( http://adobe.ly/1aYjbSC )
    If that information doesn't help you get further alomg then it will help if you explain the software involved and what actions you have taken that are failing for you..

  • I have been trying to update the software to 3.6.17for a while now, but it just sits and churns and says it is connecting to the server. I have already had my computer on all night and return in the morning to see it is still trying to find the server.

    I have Firefox running on an IMAC machine. My current software version is 3.16.15. I am not that familiar with the firefox application since I am new to this application because of my bank requirements for estatements, so any help would be appreciated.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I'm trying to find the pdf files that I downloaded on my ipad3.

    i downloaded from tpt--a teaching website. i am sure they downloaded because a yellow bar appeared across the top of my screen. i have both acrobat reader and ibooks but the files are not there....

    You have to manually save the files into one of this apps when you download a PDF from Safari. You can tap and hold down on the open PDF file when it is on the screen and a button pops up - the Open In button. You have to select the app that you want to save the file into. There should be a button in the upper right corner of the open PDF than says Open In. If you do not see it - tap on the screen while the PDF is opened and it should appear.

  • Trying to find a class(es) that...

    Converts various measurements such as:
    Linear conversions (as feet to inches)
    Volume conversions (as gallons to liters, gallons to cubic inches)
    And
    Does anyone know if a class exists that calculates the volume of various shaped objects?

    I don't have one, but there are two approaches.
    1) Create a class with static methods like FeetToInches.
    2) Better yet, use OO design. Create object for the different measurements like inch, foot, mile, and then create constructors which take in the other types as parameters. this way, you would never have programatic confusion about what a number represents since it would always properly be what it is.

  • Still trying to find a good way of rotating an image for GUI

    All my efforts have rendered rotated images which have suffered greatly in quality, does anyone have any ideas?

    remember the aspect of the screen changes when you rotate, consequently you get squat images or elongations... rescale for the accurate aspect once you are done.
