what good is it to have a router that doesn't block mac addresses like its supposed too!!!

At 10:30pm I think I'd like to talk this out....Lemme give you some more details and lets get some hardware programmers involved. I think this is a cross-platform conflict or at the remote a outdated hardware problem. What do you need from me to track this issue down? I have been patient and have waited over 1yr or maybe 2, waiting for an update to correct this issue. Alas, there has been no solution to this problem. I have 13 seperate MAC addy's on the network. 1 wired and the the rest wireless(some constant, others random). All on a schedule(some timed access, some all the time). I have macBooks, Labtops, Desktops, Ipads, Ipods, DSIs, Windows7, WindowsXP Pro, PS3, AppleTV and a few random BlueTooths. Not that much.
Anyways, I think somehow there is a hole because of cross-platfom compatability that is making my daughter able to get on the net unless I change the wireless password......
No I have no proof...It's just a feeling

Router MI424WR - Device Names to MAC Addresses Question

I have Verizon FiOS with an ActionTec MI424WR Router. I have many devices connected to it on our home network: ipods, ipads, nook, kindles, laptop, roku, and a desktop.
For each device, I found its MAC address. Then I logged into the router and went to "My Network." There, I renamed each device (for example, from "android-alsdfjl3kljasdf" to "JonKindle" and "new-host-4" to "MaryIpad"). That way, I'll be able to go to the parental controls rules screen and assign each device to rules as I like.
Problem:
The names keep changing back to "android-alsdfjl3kljasdf" and "new-host-4". Not only that, but somehow, the MAC addresses keep changing. Is there a way to keep that from happening?
I thought MAC addresses were assigned to a piece of hardward and didn't change. Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks,
smy

The trick to make the [name, MAC address] permanent is to assign a static DHCP lease to each device. Otherwise, when the lease expires and the device is no longer active, the router forgets everything about it.
As for changing MAC address, you are correct, they shouldn't change.
If you have multiple "Android-xxx" devices they may be coming up in a different order, thus creating the appearance of changing addresses. Make a list of every active MAC address and attempt to correlate it to your devices. The next time you think one changed, look and see if it's on your list.
MAC addresses can be changed by the user on some devices, however this is typically only done to "play" with a network or circumvent security features.
Good Luck.

How to block mac address in 2800 router

sir
how to block mac addresses in cisco 2800 router

Hi,
To block mac addresses you can simply create Mac based ACLs which ranges between
700 to 799
Example:
access-list 700 deny xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
access-list 700 permit yyyy.yyyy.yyyy.yyyy
now you can apply it on interface:
int f0/0
access-group 700 in
exit

What GOOD or NEW things have you noticed after the update?

What good things have you noticed since the update that were not mentioned in the update video?
One or two of these may have been already there, I might just be taking a closer look.
Faster screen switching in Phone mode
Ability to specify ports in email settings
Slightly smoother scrolling in Contacts

More ways to spend money on iTunes. Nothing else. Guess we'll have to wait till OS 10.5 for possible inclusion of any real useful features.

Blocking MAC-Address on Cisco Router

Can anyone tell me how to block a particular mac-address on cisco router 2900 series? There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow. Can anyone help me out with this?
Regards,
Abhishek

With your problem-description
There are few pc's in the network which i dont want to get them into the network anyhow
the strategy of using the router to block them is the wrong way because the PCs are already on the network and the blocking has to be done at the entry-points which are the switches.
But if you want to stop them leaving your network on the router by filtering the MAC, you could also use modified QoS-mechanisms:
class-map match-any UNWANTED-PCs
match source-address mac AAAA.BBBB.CCCC
match source-address mac DDDD.EEEE.FFFF
policy-map IN-POLICY
class UNWANTED-PCs
drop
int GigabitEthernet0/0
description LAN-Interface
service-policy input IN-POLICY

When will VZ have a Router that can be accessed via an Extender

I have the Actiontec ME424WR GigE Rev I router, and would love to be able to use an Extender to reach my garage, which is two floors below my Unit in an MDU. I was on the verge of ordering Amped Wireless Exterder, either REC10 or SR10000, until I learned from an Amazon chat on same that none of there extenders can be used by any Actiontec router. I'm thinking now that no extender can be used with the Actiontec routers. Might this be true?
All Ethernet port are occupied (I have no option to release a port). Even if I could, I'm not able to drill through two floors to get to the garage. I can connect wirelessly with my garage computer and my smartphone, but the signal is extremely weak, and drops out often, and the smartphone regularly switches from WiFi to 4G/3G because of this weak signal.
I read posts hear and elsewhere regarding work-arounds (e.g., WAP, etc.), but these are not options for me.
That said, is any one aware of a near future release of a Router to be released by Verizon that supports the use of extenders, or perhaps, another way to get a WiFi signal and speed down to my garage.
Thanks for any value-add anyone might provide.

Well, after extensive research and escalated discussions with Verizon's techs and a supervisor, here is what I found:
The Actiontec MI424WR works poorly, if not at all with any extender aside from the Actiontec "The Ultimate Network Extender," "Dual-Band Wireless Network Extender + Ethernet over Coax (MoCA) Kit."
I ordered it, it just arrived and I've yet to install it. I need to take the time to do so, but will update this thread when I do so. Here is an image of said Actiontec Network Extender.
You may wish to search it out on the net, should you be to anxious to know more before I complete the installation. This device comes with an "Ethernet over Coax Adapter," should you not have an unused Coax providing your TV service. Of course, mine is Verizon FiOS, which I love. Supposedly, this network extender avoids the drop in bandwidth experienced by other extenders, even though they provide a stronge signal at the output antenna of the
extender at the remote location. The reason being, I understand is that this Actiontec Extender receives the full bandwidth at the device via the coax. We shall see. Stand by mates.

HT1420 What if I no longer have the computers that need to be deauthorized?

I have had a new computer since Christmas. I no longer have any of the other computers I once used for itunes. Everything transferred fine and I have been using my account for my phone X2, i-pod and now my Ipad. But tonight I tried to reinstall an app that froze on the ipad and I got a message that I need to deauthorize one of my computers. - I no longer have the old computer, how can I procede?

Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

IMovie11, I cannot alter the border in PIP. What setting have I changed that doesn't permit me to define the border size or type?

I am using iMovie11 & when I use the Picture in a Picture feature, I cannot find the way to alter the border width or selection. It does not show in the Inspector window. When I first started to use iMovie, this feature showed in inspector, so where do I find how to reinstate this feature?

Great work, thanks for the report/fix!

Updated to 5.0.1 and now i have a battery that doesn't even last half the time it did. I DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE FIX to this problem or help me downgrade to 5.0

what a waste of an update, someone needs a pay reduction in that place.

my battery life is significantly worse since installing ios 5.0.1
I have the 4S, 32 gig and initially had battery drain issue, daining around 10% an hour on standby. I switched off most of the location based services, most of the notifications, siwthced off all the system services, switched off wifi ad bluetooth and just kept the basic functions and it worked great! was going down 1-2% an hour on standby and last me the entire day with light use.
I thought the 5.0.1 would further improve battery life but since dowloading it, im draining at around 5-7% an hour on standy and quicker when i use the phone.
It is a lot worse now cuz there is nothing else i can swtich off (apart from the effing phone itself!)
So no, not only 5.0.1 didnt help, it has made it significantly worse.
Any ways i can revert it back to 5.0?

Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

Greetings:
I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
My situation is this....
Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
At issue, however are several matters:
--the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
--the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
Thanks for your help.

You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
The following Apple document will give you all the options:

I have an app that says installed on the ipad but its not there

Any ideas?

Could you be more specific?
Does it have attachments? What does it have in it? Did you do a restart?
