Weak wifi signal or range... can't figure out which one.

I just set up my self-install kit today. Everything went well, until I tried to use the internet on my computer. The only place for the modem is downstairs, but my office is upstairs. I've had AT&T for over a year, and it has never been a problem, but with Comcast, my pages rarely load, and if they do, it takes an insane amount of time to do so. I switch back and forth between AT&T wireless and Comcast wireless to see the difference, and it def has something to do with Comcast. The signal strength ranges from "good" to -"very good", but there's not much of a change in connection. What are my options to fix thsi problem?? 

I assume you have one of the comcast gateway devices they are known for very poor performance. If you dont have there phone service i would return the gateway and buy your own modem and high quaility router and things will improve greatly and you will save 10.00 a month on rental fees. If you have there phone service you could also have the gateway placed in bridge mode and then use your own high quality router.

  • I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal for my Apple TV

    I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal so that my Apple TV will work?

    If you have an AirPort Extreme now, an AirPort Express could be added to your network to extend the range of the network.
    See the info about Extend an Existing Wireless Network.........http://www.apple.com/airport-express/
    Install the AirPort Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the point where the Apple TV will be located. The more that you can eliminate obstructions like walls, a ceiling or heavy furniture in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Apple TV, the better the network will perform.

  • HT4943 Newsstand shows a 1 but I can't figure out which magazine needs updating...help!

    Newsstand shows a "1" but I can't figure out which magazine needs updating.  Help?

    I have no idea why you are doing what you are doing so I will make a couple of related points.
    1. Put your table partition, and its indexes, into a single tablespace and leave them there. If you do not understand why there has been volumes written on the subject by everyone from Tom Kyte, Jonathan Lewis, Richard Foote, etc. Essentially the entire membership of the Oak Table Network has weighed in on this one.
    2. If you are going to create partitioned indexes leverage the built-in capabilities in DBMS_PCLXUTIL.

  • Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?

    Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?
    Should I just ignore the nay-sayers and go ahead with X Pro?
    Thanks in advance for anyone willing to bring me up to speed.

    I've taken a break from book design, layout, and publishing since finishing 10 books 2 years ago (Kalavinkapress.org). But now I'm back into the thick of it with a another flock of long-doc books in my lap.
    Result, I'm now faced with upgrading my IDCS3 & Acrobat 7 Pro. (I'm still OK with my P-shop & Illustrator versions), but am utterly clueless about the advisability of Acro X Pro over the still-available Acro 9 Pro. (I've seen some fairly loud squeaking about X Pro problems.)

    It depends a bit on what you're going to use it for. I do mostly forms work and have both versions, but do most of my work with Acrobat 9, and even use Acrobat 7 for some things. There are some initial bugs with Acrobat 10 that need to be worked out, but I'd probably recommend it for most folks.

    They sometimes have that information on the label. Otherwise, it's trial and error. The model you have is a Late 2009 13" MacBook. It came with a special version of 10.6.1 pre-installed.

  • I'm on Mac OS 10.9.2 and I can't figure out which Acrobat XI Standard to download!

    I can't figure out if I should buy monthly subscription of Acrobat XI Standard (it says Windows only) or actually buy it for $299.  Somewhere else it implies I can only buy the monthly subscription for Mac OS.  Very confusing!  Isn't there a way to talk with someone at Adobe?
    megCO

    There is no "Standard" application for Acrobat on Mac OS X and there hasn't been one for a very....very long time. Think before Mac OS X.   The Subscription exists but it DOES NOT include an Acrobat application for Mac OS X unless you are using a virtual machine for Windows.

    if you have a serial number, and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • How can if figure out which contacts are in both iCloud and on my Mac?

    I keep contacts on my Mac and on iCloud.  I want to see which ones are in both databases.  Some of them automatically "linked" and others did not.  The search for showing contacts that are both a member of "my Mac" and a member of "iCloud" does not seem to work.  I also want to figure out which contacts are not in a group and this has been difficult as well.

    If you change your preferences so that the defaul is not iCloud then you get two sections like this:
    When I don't have it set to On My Mac then I only get one section because all of my cards are in the cloud.

    I need help figuring out which is the correct AirPort card for my old emac. (see specs below)

    Any help/direction would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • I still can't figure out which archived Flash to use for nexus 7/firefox

    Details as to which one please

    Hey mhmiller,
    Please remember that flash is no longer supported on Android, therefore it may or may not work for you.

  • I can't figure out which add-on is crashing

    something is crashing in firefox, i don't think it's firefox itself. websites with text only continue working, icanhascheezeburger sites keep working, just the display portion - the picture itself, not the surrounding text adds, whatever, goes blank with a grey exclamation mark in it. if i force-close and restore it fixes it.
    but i have no idea what is crashing, i get no message, so i don't know how to fix this.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • My older iPod Touch has music from another Apple ID, but I have had multiple other Apple IDs and I can't find out which ones they are from.  I would also like to know how I can copy the music and have it saved to my computer as an audio file.

    So I have an iPod Touch, 2nd or 3rd gen., and it has music synced from multiple Apple IDs. I need to know how to copy that music as an audio file to save on my computer.

    You can copy iTunes purchased from a device to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - if the account is authorised on your computer's iTunes then you should be prompted to authorise it when trying to copy them.
    Or there are programs listed half-way down this page which can copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    You can then add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library, again you should be prompted to authorise the account if it's not already authorised.
    You can also find the account that a track is tied to be selecting/highlighting it in the My Music part of your library, or the Music section of 'OnMy Device' when you select the device, and doing 'get-info' (command-i) - it will show on one of the tabs on the popup
