Trick to setting up Wake on Wireless?

My MP is setup for Remote Management, login, file sharing, & printer sharing. I can do anything remotely as long as it's not sleeping. Once it goes to sleep -- nothing.
I use the current Airport Extreme for my wireless which, incidentally, has random signal drops/self-resets, so maybe the problem isn't my MP but my Airport Extreme.
Is there a comprehensive setup checklist or troubleshooting checklist somewhere to make it easier to figure out where I'm going wrong?

Why don't you just open Energy Saver prefs and set the sleep slider to Never?
I use to do that but 1) it's wasted energy/$ for the two seconds I need to access it to transfer a file or print a doc, and 2) I'd like my machines to work as they are suppose to. Keeping it on never sleep is a workaround and also so 2005.
Anyway, I checked out the page you linked to and looks llke everything that is suppose to be checked off is, so I'm increasingly think this issue is w/ the Airport Extreme, which has been less than stellar. I also noticed I don't have the latest Airport Extreme. It seems Apple did a silent update late last year if fix the hardware issues w/ the original dual-band. I'm thinking maybe I should put the Airport up on eBay and buy a new one.

Set up a Foscam wireless webcam through BaseStation 7.71 inside and outside of my home network.

I bought a X10 wireless Security Camera last year and it took me months to figure out how to set it up to access the video both inside my home and through my iPhone remotely, even on my Mac at my office. I thought I would provide my process of getting this done to help those trying something similar. Yes the X10 camera works as a Foscam Camera. I am very happy with the result. The biggest challenge was Port Forwarding the Apple Basestation but now that I figured it out, it is easy.
"How I set up a Foscam wireless webcam through Apple Hardware and software to work inside and outside of my home network seemlessly."
What you need:
-Foscam or compatible camera, (iPad or iPhone or Mac or better all three)!
-Service Provider Router.
-Apple Base Station, Extreme or Express. 7.71
-'ip scanner' (software for Mac, app for iPad/iPhone.
-CCTV Camera pros port scanner app for iPhone.
First REMOTE ACCESS
Go to www.dyndns.org and set up an account. For about $20/yr you can have 30 host websites. Write down the user name and password as you will need it later.
You need this service to have a stable website to see your camera outside your network later as 'ip' addresses can change but this site will remain stable.
Then after you log back in, create a 'host website' from the menu. When you are creating the host site, dyndns will give you lots of web address choices or you can create your own. Just pick one. Also, you will need the 'ip' of the server where the camera will be. Luckily the dyndns website tells you this, just select it. Write down the web address, click create and you are done this part.
Next you need to set up the camera.
CAMERA SET UP
Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Apple Base Station to your web cam.
You will need to run 'ip scanner' to see the 'ip' address for the web cam. Write down the 'ip'. Select it, then select "open device in". Pick browser.
A web page will be launched and you are given 3 choices. I picked the middle, 'push browser'. You are then asked for the user name and password for the camera. By default the user is 'administrator' and there is no password. Just click log in. You now will see a menu along the left, at the bottom it should say 'device management'. Select that. Another page will show and there are several important things to do here.
1. Alias - give a name to the camera.
2. Set the time from a server.
3. Users - set a user and password. Write this down as you will need it.
4. Basic network. Either check to 'Obtain IP from DHCP Server' or specify an IP you want to stay the same. You need the subnet and main DNS server and the Gateway (same thing like 192.168.0.?or 10.0.0.? or 172.16.0.?)
Decide on a port you want use. Write this down. The camera will reboot, you will need to log in. In the browser enter IP then : the port#. Like 192.168.0.?:80 you will need the camera user name and password.
5. Wireless-scan for the nearby network list. Pick your network, enter your password, click submit. It will reboot.
6. UPnP-check to use.
7. DDNS Service (this allows remote viewing) pick DynDns.org
Enter your DynDns user name and password.
Enter the long DynDns Host website you wrote down. Click Submit. It will reboot.
APPLE Basestation set up
Run Airport Utility on Mac or iPad or iPhone.
Tap basestation, tap edit, tap advanced, tap Port Settings, tap 'new entry', in description enter a name, enter HTTP port number you picked when setting up the camera in all 4 spots: public and private UDP and TCP. Enter the IP address you picked in the camera setup. Click done and again until the Basestation updates.
Run the CCTV app, pick 'tools', pick 'Port forwarding Checker'. Enter the port you selected to see if it shows open then you are good. If not go back through the steps.
Set up Foscam App on the iPad and iPhone.
Run App, tap Add Camera,
Label- enter a name
User- Camera user name
Password- Camera
Local camera address-the IP address eg 192.168.0.?
Port- the one you specified.
If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
Remote address- the long one from DynDns.
Port- the one you specified.
If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
Tap done.
If everything is entered correctly it will all work.
Trouble shooting, make sure the IP address for the camera is listed correctly in the Apple Router. If it changes on the network, just go into the Airport Utility and update that. Also make sure the dyndns address is correctly listed in the Camera set up.
If questions, just let me know.

Ok.. you have to work out the way you are going to access the TC..
There are basically three methods..
1. Direct access using AFP.. you need a static public IP and the TC as the main internet router.. then you need to turn on internet access and password the hard disk. The college has to have port 548 open.
If you do not have a static public IP then you can use ddns service but there is no client in the TC.. so you will have to figure out a way to update the service.
2. Use BTMM with icloud. This is the Apple method. It actually uses vpn..(the vpn is locked to apple use only but it is not available to end user).. The requirements are 7.6.1 firmware and lion or ML on a Mac computer. I am not sure of the ports because the link to the Apple cloud is separate from the vpn to your home system.
3. VPN.. that means you need to bridge the TC and use a decent quality vpn modem / router or combo thereof.
VPN are not for the faint of heart.. it can take a lot of work to get running but offers the best security.. you will need to change the network equipment in your house more than likely.. using a pc / mac as a vpn server is possible.. but messy.
There are also easy ways to at least access the home computer.. teamviewer for example. This is likely blocked by the college though.
Double NAT is where you put a router on a private IP behind another router on a private IP.. that makes port forwarding close to impossible.

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

thank you!

Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

Setting up a second wireless network with TC

Hi All
Am shiny new to these communities and a recent convert from PC/Windows to MAC/OS and have so far been loving a simple, easy to use home computer life!
I've scoured through to see if i could find an answer to my question but couldn’t see anything so my apologies if I’ve missed it and it has been answered before.
As part of our upgrade to MAC I also invested in a TC to enable us to make use of Time Machine and securely back up pictures and videos etc. it's been working like a dream and have had no problems. but now i want to get a bit clever.....i think
Apologies for the impending "book"....
My current home set up is as follows:
BB is provided via cable so the router and modem are required to sit by the TV giving me some issues in getting a clear wifi signal in those far to reach corners of the house. To overcome the occasional signal interruption I have used Power line Network Adaptors throughout the house.
Downstairs
Cable Modem/Router - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Media streamer - Plugged directly into Router
Office
Mac mini - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Airprint Printer - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Windows Laptop - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Upstairs
WD my Book Live - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Media Streamer - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
TC - Plugged into Power line Network adaptor
Currently the WD NAS holds our media content for streaming to the media streamers downstairs and in the bedroom. While i could use the WD NAS to hold my Time Machine backups I was worried about available space and i didn’t want to put everything into one place in case the worst happens and it's ever stolen etc. So i elected to get a TC as a second NAS drive purely for time machine backups which then meant our family pics etc were safe and in the event of us ever getting broken in to its unlikely any would-be burglar would find both NAS's, if either.
But here in lays my issue.
My wireless range upstairs is fairly weak and i wanted to use the TC to "extend" my current wireless network upstairs. meaning iPads, iPhones etc will still get the benefit of a good signal and printing can still be down via airport etc.
I've tried to set it up via Time Machine that the wireless is turned on but the back ups are done over Ethernet (for obvious speed reasons) but for some reason i can’t seem to have the TC doing both. If i have it plugged in to the Power line Network adaptor but set it up with wireless enabled i don’t get any better wireless signal upstairs. But the backup still seems to be going over the Ethernet Power line Network adaptors.
What am i not doing? Or is what i want to achieve not possible?
Apologies for the novel and i hope I’ve explained my set up correctly for someone to point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks in advance for any help or pointers

I have a similar issue I guess.
I have the DSL(or cable modem, tried both) connected to the TC. The TC then shares the Internet wirelessly on the first and second floor(since the iMac is on the first, right next to the TC that is not a problem).
I want to get reliable network connectivity to the third floor so i have connected the TC to a Powerline adapter on the first floor and the second powerline on the third floor is connected to an Airport Express to extend the network up there.
However, the only way i could get it to work was to bridge with the AE on 3rd which creates a new network. It works great, as long as the devices are in the room from the startup of the network. If say i take the iphone or laptop down to 2nd or 1st floor and they access the wireless network from the TC with no problem, when I return them to the 3rd floor, they see the 3rd floor network but I cannot get them assigned an IP address and they are stuck wth a self-assigned IP until I go back down to the first floor and unplug/replug the powerline there.
Ideally, I'd like it to be one network so there is no switch over, and therefore no need to reset, alternatively, I need some sort of solution to let the devices get a new IP address when they return to the third floor.
Baffled.

Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,

Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

Same with my new mac mini.
Got it brand new via the online shop.
Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
THIS S.U.C.K.S. !!!
No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
Works fine now.

Update printer with the latest firmware. They need the latest firmware to Airprint.

My ipad2 recognizes my hp c410a printer (which supports air print) but nothing prints. Printer is set up on a wireless network. Printer sees, nothing prints.

The router is a Linksys WRTU54G-TM. The Ipad recognizes the printer and spools the print job but there is no action at the printer. E-Print works.

Set Lenovo Wake On LAN BIOS Settings

According to http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/wmi_dtdeploymentguide.pdf, under "Set a single BIOS setting on the local computer", I have to set the property "Wake on LAN” to "Disable" in the Lenovo_SetBiosSetting instance in the root\wmi WMI namepspace to disable Wake On LAN in the BIOS.
However, there is no such property in the Lenovo_SetBiosSetting instance and creating the property WakeOnLAN in the Lenovo_SetBiosSetting instance has no effect on the Wake On LAN BIOS status.
Does anyone know how to use WMI to set the Wake On LAN BIOS status for Lenovo computers? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Ability to set 8500A for both wireless & USB

I am home officed & have to VPN into my work server. I also have set up a home wireless network which the printer is on.
The printer will print on the wireless network as long as I'm not VPN into my work server. How do I set it up so it can print when VPN into my work server.

Good question and you have the solution! The printer will simultaneously support wireless and USB with no problems.
You probably have the printer listed in Control Panel > Printers already, but that is a wireless instance of the printer. We need to add a USB instance of the printer.
Plug in the printer to your PC with the USB cable.
Go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > OfficeJet 8500A > Add a Device (or similar words, not sure exactly). Run that program to add a USB instance of the printer. Name the printer something different than its default. Pick something clever like "OfficeJet 8500A - USB". When you are done rename the other instance of the printer to something like "OfficeJet 8500A - Network".

Wake On Wireless under Windows 7

Has anyone been able to get a Mac to wake on wireless while booted into Windows 7? I have a Unibody Macbook (Late 2008) and was trying to get this to work, but the option to "Allow this device to wake the computer" on the WLAN card settings is grayed out.
It appears that this machine supports the same functionality under Snow Leopard, though I haven't tested it out yet.
Any experiences here?
