TC / FiOS - Can I extend the range?

OK, I have replace the router that is supplied from Verizon for ViOS with my new Time Capsule. Called Verizon, had them break the DHCP lease and reset. All is well.
Now what I would like to do, is 'bridge' the old Verizon router off the TC, for extended range. Can this be done? What steps would I need to take?
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:
I didn't (couldn't) disable the Verizon Routers DHCP Server. When I do, the computer trying to connect does not get an IP assigned. But I did get it working... My set up is as follows:
Once again, I disconnected the Verizon Router (Router2) from the ONT The I connected the Time Capsule (Router1) to the ONT via the WAN port. Called Verizon, and them break the DHCP lease and reset it, and the TC is up and running beautifully.
Next, I went out a LAN port on the TC and into the WAN port on the Verizon Router.
In essence, I have two separate wireless networks with this configuration, and I have to join one or the other to get to the internet. No big deal, since my 2 iMacs are close to the TC and are always joined to it. When the need arises to use the work laptop, I can join it to the Verizon router

You can't. It's not your network.

How can I extend the range of my chart?

I've asked this question before on here, and found that shift-clicking for more cells has usually worked, but I have now run into a new problem...
My chart used to cover the range B5:P50. However, since moving a column it now only covers the cell range H5:P50. My chart is on a separate sheet. Usually if I want to add more to the range it will be downwards, so I just click on the chart, then click on the Main Sheet and shift-click to add more cells. Unfortunately, because the range I want is to the left of the highlighted area this time, I can't use shift-click.
How can I extend the range of my chart so it includes cells to the left of the currently selected range? In Excel I'd be able to just type the range in a box somewhere, rather than all this GUI-based clicking and dragging which is actually more difficult! Is there somewhere I can just type the range in that I want?
Thanks!

"I want to add some series that are missing from the chart. How do I do that?"
Here's a two step process to do that:
Select the chart to show the the data selection on the associated chart.
Click in the leftmost column of the data, and drag left to change (move) the selection (blue arrow) for the result below:
Grab the control handle (small circle) at the bottom right corner of the selection, and drag right, as indicated by the blue arrow.
Result shown below.
Reassign colours and do other formatting as desired.

Can I extend the range with an Airport Extreme?

Hi there,
Is it possible to extend a wireless network's range with an Airport Extreme (just like you can do with an Airport Express)? Currently I have a Billion wireless modem/router but need to extend the range so I can use my PS3 in my bedroom. I would rather get an Airport Extreme instead of an Express so I can take it with me when I move out. Just need to know if the Extreme will do this as it doesn't mention it on the website.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Daniel

Welcome to the discussions!
+Is it possible to extend a wireless network's range with an Airport Extreme (just like you can do with an Airport Express)?+
The AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and even the Time Capsule can "extend a wireless network", +but... they are only compatible if you have another Apple router as the main device.+
Sorry, but none of the Apple products would be compatible to extend the range of your Billion wireless router using wireless only. You might want to check to see if Billion has a "range extender" or similar compatible device.

Can Express extend the range of a wired router

Airport Express box reads "can extend the range only of an Airport Extreme or Airport Express wireless network". My daughter is moving into a college-town house that has (I think from the cable company) a 6 port wired router that sends a wall outlet ethernet connection to 6 rooms. If I don't or can't replace the router can I use the Airport Express and plug it near one of the 6 ethernet jacks? Can I use a Linksys Wireless Access Point device, or, is it like the Geek Squad wannabe salesman at Best Buy said, "It will be very hard for your daughter to configure this. You have to have the right settings".
Thanks for any suggestions.

Like I said it can be done, I would probably change there Router to a Multiport wireless router, and change it out.
There are several different options. you just need to decide what you want to do.
If you feel uncomfortable about doing it yourself, Get a hold of your friend that is a wizard and have him do it. It really is not that tough. but if you are not comfortable, or not sure what and how then leave it.
I can't believe it isn't already wireless.

Can I extend the range of my Time Capsule with an Airport Express?

I have read on Apple's description of the Airport Express that it is possible to extend the range of an existing network. I have the OLDER version of the Time Capsule (it is still wireless-N but it can only broadcast EITHER 2.4 or 5 gHZ at a given time) that does not have the simultaneous broadcasting. Can I still use the Airport Express to extend the range of my Time Capsule network?

i think you have the same concern as mine....
would the express extend the n or g networks? i am pretty sure it cant dual broadcast.....
my guess is that it would extend the n network by default, but if an iphone hooks up to the part of the network that the express is covering, it will probably slow down to a g speed.
i am one of those that suffer from my existing airport extreme and express slowing down when i turn on my ipod touch or iphone! the whole network slows down to the lowest common denominator.
by getting the new time capsule (or the new airport extreme), i will be fine in the part of the house that is being served by the new machines, but i am expecting the network to slow down where the express is in incharge!
this is all in preparation to buy a new TC...... is my understanding correct?

Can i extend the range of an airport extreme with another airport extreme and use the ports on the airport extreme i used to extend the network?

That seems like a complicated question.
I have a Time Capsule (which the HD *****, but that is matter for another discussion) and want to extend the range with an Airport Extreme because I have 2 devices in one room that do not do wireless but have Ethernet ports.
The room has iffy WiFy connectivity too.
I want to know if the 3 ports on the Airport Extreme still work after configuring it as an extender rather than a router.

The thing is that I want to know if I can put the Airport Extreme at the edge of the room where the existing Base does not reach.
This will not work.
Remember, an "extending" AirPort can only extend the quality of wireless signal that it receives. For that reason, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal in order to work effectively.
For example, let's say that your "main" router was on one end of the house and you want to extend the signal to reach the other end of the house. In this case, you would locate the "extending" AirPort about half way between the main router and the other side of the house.

How can I extend the range of my WESTELL 7500? Please help.

I installed a security camera outsite of my house and unfortunately the modem/router is on the opposite end. The camera would connect on and off as opposed to on all the time when it was mounted inside.
I am researching around and it looks like I can get an extender? Are there certain ones to look for in terms of compatibility issues?
Or can I upgrade the modem/router? The Westell 7500 was provided by Verizon at start of service.
Thanks in advance.

If you want a wireless extender, it must support 802.11b and 802.11g.

Can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express units?

I am using Airport Extreme as my basic router. I have connected 2 airport express units (all new since 12/09) to extend the network about 300 ft into another building to a PC. I am receiving about 65% signal and only one of the express units is extending the signal. Previously I was able to extend the network with a Netgear router and one D-Link extender and achieved 85%.
I would like to use the 2nd express to extend the signal of the 1st express which is extending the Extreme.
If this is not possible, can I use something other than an express with the extreme to extend the wireless network?

Here are the basic steps in setting up a static WDS. Please compare them to what you have done to see if there are any differences. Hopefully, this will give you a clue on what to try.
AEBSn - WDS Setup
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs (MAC addresses) for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS. The AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom/side of the base station.)
Main Base Station Setup
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
o Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the base station you want to connect to this base station.
o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.
Relay Base Station Setup
o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar to join the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the relay base station.
o Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
o Select the relay base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
o Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
o Click WDS and choose “WDS relay” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the Main AirPort ID field.
o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the remote base station this relay base station will connect to.
o Click Update to transfer the new WDS settings to the relay and remote base stations.

If you were able to access the AX using the AirPort Utility but your PC is still not able to connect. I would try performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to see if that helps before going to the store. This type of reset will put the AX back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration which would broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. If your PC still cannot "see" or connect to this network, then a visit to the store would be in order.

How can I extend the range of a WRT54GX4 V1 or replace it with something with a larger range?

I have a WRT54GX4 that acts as a wireless router for several PCs and a couple of Tivos. The Tivos are using the Tivo branded USB wireless-g adaptors. One of them appears to be at the outer limit of the WRT54G4 due to the presence of a number of nearby networks and wireless phones and keeps losing it's connection to the WRT54GX4.
I looked at the WRE54G but the latest version -- with the RJ45 port -- is not listed as being comptible with the WRT54GX4.
Do any of the other wireless routers have a stronger signal than the WRT54GX4? I don't need SRS as the Tivos don't support it and neither do the notebooks' built in adaptors.

There are many routers that are capable of giving a stronger or better signal than the WRT54GX4 router...
Example : WRT310N, WRT320N, WRT350N, WRT400N, WRT600N, WRT610N...

How can I extend the wireless range on my BT Hub 3

I currently have the BT hub 3 and find that as I have quite a rambling house and the broadband is located at one side rather than in the middle of the house I cannot get a signal in all areas. This is massively frustration for the children when they wish to do their homework in the peace of their own rooms - how can I extend the range, without having to pay through the nose, but easy enough for someone who is not massively technical? - Thanks in advance

How to extend the range on a apple tv 2 to an outdoor yard

i have zone two speakers from my receaver in my yard. my apple tv optical is going to my receaver for music. its nice to play music from my ipod touch but i have to be close to my house how can i extend the range a little

how can i extend the range a little
The normal approach would be to purchase a secondary WiFi device (Apple or third-party) to create a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) that extends/relays/repeats the range/signals of your primary device. (I.e., you create one or more remote access points nearer/within range of the location at which you wish to use the target device.)
ADDED: Oops—a bit slow typing...

Can somebody help how can I extend the carpet sample to fill out the hallway?

I would need to extend the piece of capret sample to replace the old plane carpet. I'm pretty new to PS and have trouble with the crazy carpet patter plus the room is getting narrower.
Can somebody give me some tips or any kind of help? I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Ok, the question is how can i extend the range with
my airport extreme base,
With an Airport Express or another Airport Extreme
I have A netgear WNP802, it
has a repeating feature.
Which won't work with your Airport Extreme
< But i am wanting to have the
netgear and the apple airport extreme talk to each
other so that i can put the net gear in a seperate
room to extend the range of signal. </div>
This is not possible.
How can i do this?
You can't.
Netgear and Apple use different chips which means they won't and can't talk to each other when it comes to extending networks.

Can i use my airport to extend the range of my wireless network?

I currently have a two wireless networks set up in my home. Network 1 is the wireless router provided by Verizon Fios. It has a stong signal in about half of my home. Network 2 - I attached my airport to one of the LAN ports in the the back of the Fios router. I want to use my airport as a way to extend the range of my Fios wireless network. Is this possible?

Network 2 can effectively "extend" Network 1 if the AirPort is permanently connected to the Fios router using an Ethernet connection.
You would configure the AirPort to "create a wireless network" using exactly the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Fios network. Additionally, the AirPort must be configured in Bridge Mode for this to work correctly.
The most difficult part of doing this will be to find the exact type of wireless security that the Fios router is using and then find a corresponding compatible match on the AirPort. If the settings do not match up exactly, you'll have two networks which will require separate log ons.
Configured correctly, your laptop will be able to "roam" from one area of the house to another and stay on the same network. That's why this type of setup is called a "roaming network".
If you can locate the security settings for the Fios router and post back with that info, we can provide you with a step by step configuration for the AirPort if you need it.
