Using Belkin Dual-Band Wirleless Range Extender with Apple Ipad Air

Can I use the above Belkin Range Extender with the Apple Ipad on wi-fi? If so, which port do I hook up the extender to on the ipad? Thanks.

I wanted to chime in on this thread with my experince as it came up in a Google search while i had the same problem.
I actually got this working with an e4200v2 but only after hours of headache and dealing with tech support (both chat and phone)
First, I can tell you that support was nearly usless for me...the chat representative actually SIGNED OUT of chat after her intial troubleshooting steps failed to fix my problem. (This was not from lack of politeness or understanding on my end, I know it's just people trying to do their job.)
Phone support was much more thurough but still just walked me through steps I had already done on my own previously (I was formally a network tech.) This included running manual setup both wired to my e4200v2 and wireleslly. Attempting different channels and moving the RE1000 to various spots in my house. Their conclusion was that i needed to RMA the device.
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
It turns out the issue (for me at least) was not that the RE1000 was too weak but that the e4200v2 was too strong. The devices in my house that I wanted to use the RE1000 for were already getting roughly 2-3 bars (out of 5) signal and as such were not connecting to the RE1000. This means that even though the setup completed "successfuly" I wasn't getting any singal or speed improvement.
THE FIX:
So the way I ended up getting this to work was to run the setup software with the device in a location of my house were the RE1000 was only getting about 2-3 bars of service. (You can check this in the RE1000s firmware under "wireless").
I now have full signal and good speeds throughout my house.
I don't know if this is specific to the e4200v2 or just any router with a strong signal but my suggestion for fellow e4200v2 owners is to basically run setup with this guy as far away from your router (but within signal range) as possible.
Cheers,
G

External Seagate Hard Drive with Apple Ipad Air

I've just read that you can buy a Seagate Expansion 1TB Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 (Model Number: STBF500300) which is powered from the USB cable, so there is no need for an external power supply. However, I already own a Seagate 500 gigabyte desktop external hard drive which I've had for about a year. Anyone know whether it would be compatible with the Ipad Air?

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

Hi Im using OS Windows 7 Professional 32bit driver for apple ipad air in order to transfer photoes from ipad to hp laptop

Unable to transfer photoes from ipad to windows 7 laptop.
Error message
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

That is one heck of a post for a newcomer here. Your instructions worked like a charm, with one exception:
When uninstalling the Broadcom Device, I had to check the box to delete the driver, and then had to scan for new hardware to get the device to show back up. Then I was able to load the edited driver software.
I am not complaining, but very grateful, as I was pulling my hair out on this one.

Using a Range Extender with WLC & LWAP

Hi,
is it possible to use a Wireless range extender with a WLAN installation of LWAPs & WLC?
Is there a security setting in the WLC that prevents multiple clients connecting through the range extender?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chris

No.
Range extenders are horrible devices that kill your bandwitdh, increase the collision rate and would totally kill the radio management algorithm. For this reason they are not supported and you should not even look into them. They were more popular when you had very few IOS APs and the speed rates were low. I'm not sure that 11n range extenders actually exist.
Anyway, if you want to extend the range, you could look into bridging APs or mesh APs (AP not connected via wire, uses 5ghz band for backhaul transport to root AP and 2ghz to server clients).

Can i use a cisco RE1000 range extender with airport extreme

Can I use a Cisco R1000 range extender with airport extreme?

Apple's "extend a wireless network" function appears to be a proprietary feature that will only work with other Apple routers.
As far as we know, devices from other manufacturers are not compatible with this feature.
Bottom line....It would be extremely unlikely that this would work, but it's worth a try if you already have the products in hand.
Please post on your results.

I am trig to connect my apple range extender with my xfinity router

Hi
I am tryong to use my apple range extender with my xfinity rouder, is this possible

Apple range extender? There is no such thing... Do you have an Airport Express?
Plus you have Xfinity... owned by the nations most annoying and not loved ISP.
Good luck.
However, not all is lost, I recommend getting an Ethernet cable and run it between the two points you wish to cover with wifi.
Plug one end into the Xfinity LAN side, plug the other end into the Airport and configure the wifi name accordingly.

WRT 120N & WRT610N ......use the 12n as a range extender?

Hi all,
I have just changed my WRT120N for a WRT610N is there any way i can use the 120n as a range extender? the signal I get downstairs is quite weak and i was hoping to ba able to use the 120n downstairs to boost the signal.
thanks
Andrew
Never give up!

WRT120N is a router and can't be used a range extender. Although I'm not sure if you can put DD-WRT on it to make it a repeater.
What you can do, run a cable from WRT160N to WRT120N. You have to change the SSID to something unique and channel on WRT120N to prevent interference with WRT160N.

What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos? Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work. So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked. Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
Thank you for all your help.

Problems with my iPad Air

I am having so many problems with my iPad Air that I got for Christmas. It is not jailbroken. Sometimes it doesn't work. The internet keeps going out all the time but it's not with my network because I got my network checked out and it was perfectly fine. Safari never works even when I am connected to the internet. All of the apps keep crashing. On the app store it doesn't let me download anything. I still have about 15 gigabytes left on my iPad Air. It doesn't let me sent or recieve messages. On the mail app it doesn't let me check my email because it just says I'm not connected to the internet even though I have all 3 bars. It is so slow. When I am on any app that acually works then it takes about 10 minutes just to load one thing. I think there is an internal problem with it or it might just need to be restored. I never dropped it and I always keep it protected so I don't know what is going on.

The wifi icon only indicates he presence of a wifi signal, not that you are connected.
First do this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Some things to try first for internet/wifi connection:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

Actually have three questions.
1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
Thanks.
