Third party routers that need no firmware update

What are the best third party WiFi routers with LAN ethernet ports that need no firmware update to work with 10.4.8 and Windows XP?

Actually the extra ethernet ports is paramount.
Otherwise you don't know who is being secure to
whom. You end up having two routers to setup for
configuration of security. Simplicity is
important, since I want to be able to help set it up
for the friend, and forget it.
?? That doesn't make any sense - I think you're missing something fundemental here. The extra ethernet ports are on the LAN side of the secure connection. The firewall in the router isolates the internal, LAN network (wireless + ethernet) from the external WAN (aka the big bad internet). Whether or not you have a switch attached to one of the LAN ports makes no difference, security-wise - you are in control of the devices connected to the LAN side of the router. WEP/WPA/WPA2 security controls who is able to connect to the wireless LAN.
From a security standpoint, there is ABSOLUTELY no difference between buying a router with eight lan ports and buying a router with four lan ports plus plugging in a five-port switch to one of the lan ports. It's exactly the same thing.
What you don't control is the WAN side of things - the internet itself. You certainly wouldn't want to connect the switch to the WAN port on the router, at least not unless you wanted to run, say, a web server that is exposed to the internet itself. This wouldn't be a good idea in any case - there are better ways to set this up as well (either by setting up a DMZ, or by setting up port forwards)
There is absolutely no reason why you would want or need two routers for this setup - this is only an issue for extremely large networks.
The WRT54G has 1 WAN port and four LAN ports. You can have four hardwired devices (computers, printers, switches, etc) on these LAN ports - they are protected from the internet by the firewall in the router. You can also have any number of wireless devices on this same router; these, as well, are on the LAN side of the router, and are therefore protected.
Adding a switch to the LAN side of the router has absolutely no impact on security. No additional routers would be required.

  • Calling third party application that needs the HttpServletRequest parameter

    Hi,
    I am doing the customizations to the Webcenter portal(since the issue is specific to ADF, I am posting the thread in this group) wherein I need to invoke a Java API provided by third party. That Java API expects the HttpServletRequest parameter.
    To obtain the HttpServletRequest , I used the below code: -
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request =
    +(HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();+
    Besides, I need to set some parameters to the request, as the API needs those parameters to connect to the 3rd party application. Hence I have set the attributes as below: -
    request.setAttribute("HttpProxyHost", "https://thirdparty.com");
    request.setAttribute("HttpProxyPort", "2021");
    request.setAttribute("HttpProxyUser", "abcd");
    request.setAttribute("HttpProxyPass", "efgh");
    The call to the API works fine when tested standalone. But after deploying this to the application, I see the following issue.
    The ADF application interacts with other 3rd party applications too. Once the above code is executed, the application is trying to connect to the above host(https://thirdparty.com) only for the subsequent requests from any user of that application, even if the actual call is meant to connect to different hosts.
    Can I create a custom servlet class to invoke the Java API? If so, how can I call that servlet API from my ADF managed bean?
    Even if I create a custom servlet, the parameters that I set like HttpProxyHost will persist, right?
    Please provide any suggestions
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    1) what is the problem you think makes this specific to ADF?
    2) Have you tried : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/connecting.html
    Your requirement of changing a request that is in process sounds weird to be honest

    How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
    File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
    But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks.  See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

    Hello all,
    I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
    What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
    I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
    Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
    Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
    1. How to fix this?
    2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can  afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
    Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
    OSX 10.10.2
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Duncan.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • *** E51 GREAT PHONE BUT NEED A FIRMWARE UPDATE... ...

    Hi
    TO THE NOKIA FIRMWARE UPDATE STAFF:
    I bought that great phone NOKIA E51 but it needs a FIRMWARE UPDATE because the built'in camera gives photo(and videos too!) in VERY VERY "green" color that's too bad (MY OLD 6630 , so only 1,3 megapixel is best in photo quality against my actually E51..!)
    *** SO PLEASE REMOVE THE GREEN COLOR TENDENCY IN THE PHOTO! ***
    ANOTHER AND LAST problem I have noticed during mine along E51 testing is the integrate REAL PLAYER VERSION has VERY VERY big problems during *MP4* VIDEO PLAYBACK (MP4 VIDEOS MADE ON PURPOSE FOR MOBILE), VIDEO APPEARS In jerks (ESPECIALLY IN FULL SCREEN!) And SOME TIME IT BLOCKS DURING PLAYBACK!
    *** SO PLEASE A NEW VERSION OF REAL PLAYER IN THE NEXT E51 FIRMWARE ***
    FOR ALL THE REST THE E51 PHONE IS GREAT AND PRICE TOO (200€ IN ITALY), I BELIVE IT'LL BE A BEST SELLER -BUT- ONLY IF THE PROBLEMS I LISTED ABOVE WILL BE CORRECTED!!
    i got latest firmware version: 100.34.20

    Hi,
    I wrote to Nokia regarding this issue using the Nokia India site, and the Nokia for Business site. I also sent an email to [email protected]
    Here is the text of the email:
    Hi,
    I bought my Nokia E51 four days back, and I am VERY happy with the
    phone. However, I feel that there are some shortcomings with the
    phone, which need to be addressed by firmware upgrades. I am listing
    them here:
    1) The camera has a VERY noticeable green tint
    2) The video playback in full screen mode using RealPlayer is VERY
    slow and choppy
    3) In the "Missed Calls" part of the call log, there is NO way to
    determine WHICH number of the contact was the call missed - "Mobile
    Number", "Tel.(home)", "Tel.(office)" or what? The only way to
    determine is to call back using the same screen, which is VERY
    counterintuitive!
    You can have a look at some more people agreeing with me here -
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&​thread.id=14028
    and the problem 3) described in detail here -
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&​thread.id=15956
    Apart from these 3 problems, I am VERY VERY happy with the E51 - it
    lives up to all the promises it makes! Way to go, Nokia! I request you
    to address those 3 issues as fast as possible!
    Thanks and regards,
    I request ALL other users of the phone to please contact Nokia similarly, to have these issues resolved ASAP. If someone can suggest more ways of contacting Nokia regarding this issue, please tell me! Thanks!

  • I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party  vendor that would show up on by bill

    I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill.  What the heck?????

    Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
    If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
    An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

  • Third Party Routers & Airport

    I'm a noob. I just got an airport express for christmas (i love it). I would like to put it in my room (in client mode), and have another cheap router broadcasting the ethernet signal to it to repeat (WDS). Now, I know that apple says this can't be done but I read all over the internet that it can. All I need to do is change the ip adress and a few settings. My problem is that all of the threads i've read are old, and I need to know of a new compatable third party router that I can buy for cheap and I need to know if it works for sure.

    I disagree with Don's assertion. Certainly that is the first time that I have seen a post claiming that there is 100 devices compatible with Apple's WDS.
    If you are going to search Google for devices, use http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=WDS%2BRouters+%2BMac%2BCompatible&btnG=Search instead of Don's link. It combines search items instead of making them optional. It also greatly reduces the number of hits.
    The devices known to be compatible with Apple's WDS are:
    AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)
    AirPort Express
    Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
    Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    one specific model from SMC (don't know the model number)
    one specific model from Buffalo (don't know the model number)

  • After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

    After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?

    You do not want EFI 2.2, it bricked many 2011 MacBook Pro machines.
    EFI 2.3 is the fix. Software Update should install it if you need it, but it goes to the boot drive as that's where the hidden EFI resides.
    Check out this link of machines and their EFI versions
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Also if your SSD should be in the hard drive bay as it makes a better boot/applicaitions drive, not a good storage drive as it wears out with repeated use and is not "scrubbable" like a regular hard drive
    The hard drive should be in the optical bay and used as a storage drive, you have things all messed up inside your machine, Apple doesn't support or expect the optical drive to be used as such to begin with, then as a boot drive is just asking for trouble. So use the optical bay as storage and not as a boot bay.
    Also you can't install OS X or Windows or use a Firmware restore disk because it only works from a internal optical drive, which you have removed.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
    You need to learn all about cloning etc., as you have no other means to boot the machine.

  • SPI firewalls on third party routers may cause incorrect behavior

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    Some users have reported that image queries to sites such as Google Image Search, Google Maps and Bing do not display results in Snow Leopard. This is because of overaggressive "SYN Flood" protection in the firewalls of some third party routers.
    When image results are to be displayed, Safari and Firefox make multiple simultaneous connections to the host to retrieve them. This is usually faster than downloading one and moving on to the next and on and on.
    Safari in Mac OS X Snow Leopard may make as many as sixteen simultaneous connections to the Google image server's HTTP port within 0.0043 second to retrieve the data; in Mac OS X Leopard it may be as few as eight.
    Some consumer-level SPI firewalls misinterpret the attempt to open that many simultaneous connections to one server as a "SYN flood" and block the traffic. Not good, especially when the connections are being made from your machine to an outside host, so the firewall is effectively blocking you from perpetrating what it thinks is a SYN flood.
    Some Flickr users have experienced a similar issue.
    If your router allows configuration of its SPI firewall, you may be able to solve this problem if it has a setting labeled something like:
    Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host
    On those routers, this setting is often set to a default of "10"; simply increasing this value to a much higher value - many have had good luck with "20" - will allow accesses to work as desired and will also allow some room for possible future expansion in the number of simultaneous queries made.
    If your router does not offer such a setting, there's no solution other than to disable the firewall.
    Note that any operating system - Linux, Solaris, even perhaps Windows 7 - could trigger the same problem. You can even generate the same issue in Windows XP by applying "speed tweaks" such as this.
    (Some explanation from Microsoft is available as well.)
    In short, it's a bad assumption made on the part of the SPI firewall's designers, not by Apple.

    If your iPhone is truly unlocked - purchased as unlocked through Apple
    or through wireless provider that sells unlocked iPhones or unlocked
    by a wireless provider, then the update should not mess up your iPhone.
    If your iPhone was jailbroken or hacked to change wireless providers,
    then the update will relock it to the original wireless provider if you are lucky
    or turn it into a useless brick if unlucky.
    Back up first to protect against glitches or other problems.
