What configuration will allow me to run at optimal proformance?

I just recently purchased an airport extreme and I have found that there are many different settings in the airport utility. Options such as; 802.11n b/g compatible, 802.11n 2.4 GHz 802.11n 5 GHz, and different multicast rates. I really don't know much about these setting, but I hope (with your help) that I can configure my airport to function as fast and secure as possible.
If anyone could help explain some of these setting and lead me toward the best connection for me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

The reason for my question is that you will get the best throughput performance by configuring the AEBSn to use the "802.11n only (5 GHz)" radio mode, no wireless encryption, "interference robustness" disabled, and transmit power @ 100%. However, these settings may not be practical, security conscience or functional with 802.11n or non-802.11n devices connected to the wireless network.
I'm assuming that your PC is currently 802.11g wireless capable, and that you don't want your neighbors to "share" your Internet connection. If that's the case, your best performance bet would be use either the "802.11b/g compatible" or "802.11g only" radio modes and WPA encryption. (Note: Although you will get slightly better performance using WEP, it's no longer considered secure.)

    What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive? I recently purchased an external disc drive and when testing it discovered that it only played the audio of the DVD, not the video.  Very frustrated.

    Are you referrring to a commercial DVD movie, or a disk with digital movies, such as mpeg files?

  • What software will allow me to burn dvd/cd's from copyright-for backup?

    I have a computer with DVD/CD burning/reading capacity. But when I try to make a copy of something I want to back-up-such as an exercise DVD - I can't. Apple support says I have to get software that will allow me to copy a copyrighted disk-and they recommended I come to this site. What can I use that is totally compatible and won't crash my computer? Thanks

    LOL. No one will answer... It's kind of illegal...

    This morningI tried to use the above dongle with an HDMI cable to watch a Hulu show on my flat screen.  The picture was fine, but I didn't get any sound.  I have the latest MBA 11".  Instead, the sound continured to come from the MBA.  Any ideas why?

  • What settings will allow Adobe to display as a thumbnail in Explorer

    This question has probably been answered many times before but bear with me as I cannot find out what settings are required to allow Adobe to display as a thumbnail, of the files contents, instead of the red PDF orbital image. I have a lot of craft images, papers etc and I used to have a proportion of the files that displayed as an thumbnail image but could never make all my Adobe files display the same and since I have updated to Adobe Reader XI I no longer have any files that display as thumbnails. As it makes it easier to see an image instead of opening each document every time to see the image it would be useful to be able to  convert back to thumbnails. I would hope that this is still possible as if it isn't it is certainly a retrograde step.
    This is on a PC / Laptop running Windows 7
    Thanks to anyone who can come up with an answer

    It has been my experience that with all 64-bit Windows (I use 7 and 8.1), thumbnail preview does not work well. I've had some success with:
    Fixes for 64-bit Adobe Reader preview handler and thumbnails
    With this fix, preview works correctly for a time and then stops working. I have no idea why it stops.
    I've looked for an alternative to Adobe Reader (I use the free version). Only one seems to work and it is Foxit Reader. I understand that you wanted a fix for Adobe Reader. So do I. For now at least, I have set Free Foxit Reader as default so that thumbnails work and use "right-click/open with" to open in Adobe Reader.
    Hope this helps

  • What extenstion will allow me to capture streaming audio/videos?

    I am trying to capture a streaming video of a program broadcast by Fox News which is not protected. I understand that in the past versions of Firefox some of the extensions or free applications would allow the video to be captured (per CNET). What is the application or extension I need to capture streaming videos using the FLV format or any of the other popular formats?

    Hi Pat,
    What I want to do is download the on-line videos/live streaming video but the source of them doesn't make them available as download files.
    As regards Flash Player Pro, apparently I was looking at something else entirely.  Sorry for the misleading statement.

  • Is there an OSX application which will allow me to run iOS apps on my iMac?

    I'm consistently finding great new apps for my iOS devices to control any number of household utilities and entertainment systems. Is there an emulator tool for OSX for which I can use my apple id to load and access all of those great iOS apps on my OSX based iMac?
    For example I have apps which control my pool, home scale measurements, lighting, entertainment system, etc. It would be really convenient to have access to all of those tools on my iMac rather than always having to find an iOS device.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Check w/each manufacturer to see if they make an OS equivalent.  It's what I do when I see an iOS app that I  am interested in to use on a Mac. 

  • What settings will allow use of shopping lists on my retail accounts

    In the past i have created & added to my shopping lists on various retail online accounts. example: Walmart, pet stores, etc. Now i am unable to add products to any of my various accounts. I get kicked back to a login prompt even though i am already logged in. Since it happens on different websites, i think changes in my Firefox settings may be the problem.

  • What is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?

    Buying a used iPad... what is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?
    Thanks

    An iPad 2 will do it...for awhile. Realize that it's seemingly on it's last legs as far as iOS updates go and performance will not be great enough for today's demanding games. Also realize that a big part of running apps smoothly is how much system RAM (the memory area that the apps actually run in) the device has. The iPad 2 has 512 MB which is adequate for most apps but not for some. The iPads above the iPad 2 all have 1 GB of system RAM and the iPad Air 2 has 2 GB.
    The time will come when the iPad 2 can no longer be updated past a certain iOS version (as the iPad 1 is) so it will be more difficult to keep up with apps that you want to be using. This will eventually happen to ALL devices so you'll have to judge if you want to be at the tail-end of iOS updates or at least have a bigger buffer with a newer iPad.
