What router would work best for my app?

Hi,
I have been looking at two Cisco routers for my home/work network. They are the 1811 and the 871 series.
My network consists of 1 2K3 SBS (It dose my DHCP, Domain Controller, Wins, and active directory.), 2 Cad stations, 1 Email/web PC, 1 Notebook, and I will have 3 people VPN'ing in at any point in time for files.
Also, my broadband connection is cable (8m/768k) as of right now and will soon see FiOS in my area and I am looking at possibly getting the 15m/2m tier or the 30m/5m tier if the price is right. So will aether of these routers handle this wan connection speed?

The 871 peaks at about 12mbps vs. 35mbps for the 1811.
Check out this document to compare all models.
Hope this helps. Please rate this post.
Thanks,
Brad

What amplifier would work best for Airport Express?

I have built in a ceiling speakers in all my rooms and all the rooms have their own apple macmini or laptop
All wiring of the speakers come to a central media room, and in this, I want to place 8 airport express to allow each room to be able to play through itunes onto their ceiling speaker. Effectively we could also put all speakers on from one room and create a party mode
The problem is that airport express requires powered speakers and these ceiling speakers are not powered of course. This means I would need to put an amplifier between the airport express and the speaker (I think)
Just wondering if anyone has successfully done this?
I have had a look at multi zone amplifier like
http://www.htd.com/whole-house-audio/mid-level-whole-house-audio/MCA-66-Audio-Co ntroller-Amplifier
Most multi zone amplifiers have their own keypad, but with apple you do not require this as you can control it straight from your mac! So what I want to do is control the INPUT level on the amplifier, and fix the output level on the amplifier, if I am thinking right..... as I thought this would work best ...
then if you put the volume control on the mac to MAX the amplifier would already be preset to max and the ceiling speakers would rock
Any suggestions or .....
Thanks

In this Macworld article, they just use multiple Parasound Zamps, which are single zone amps that turn on and off by themselves, depending on when sound is passing through. I'm planning on doing this with my new construction because it looks like a simple setup with no remotes needed save the iPhone, which I always have on me.

What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles?

What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles That Are Connected To The Same Broadband Internet Connection? My Two Cousins Aren't Able To Connect To The Same Lobby Party Together As I Am To Play COD MW3. They Have Tried Having Both Consoles Hardwired to the Router But The Same Problem Of Having Only One Of My Two Cousins To Be Able To Connect To The Lobby Party While The Other One Can't Connect. Thanks For Any Help With This Issue.

My router easily handles 2-4 PS3s at a time during Uncharted multiplayer and its a few years old. Its a Linksys Wireless N (model no. WRT150N). Like I said, its not the newest but it handles all our consoles just fine. My internet speed is 24mbps, maybe your cousins need a faster connection? Hope this helps.

Which imac would work best for Graphic Design?

I am a Graphic Designer, currently using Creative Suite 2 (soon to be upgraded to CS3) and I need a new Mac for home. A Powermac takes up too much space, so I'm thinking about an imac with a 24" monitor and I have a few questions for the experts:)
Which imac would work best for graphics?
Is the monitor acurate for Pantone color matching?
Is the 24"monitor on the imac clear and bright?
Is Leopard a stable OS?
I also need an (inexpensive) color laser printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 24" iMac uses a superior LCD panel to the 20" model and so is certainly better suited to your purposes. I don't know how badly having a piece of glass in front of the display would affect you as a designer though.
The display certainly is clear and bright. I use it on it's lowest brightness setting.
Leopard is stable but it's worth checking that drivers for any devices that you currently rely on are available. For example I have to go back to my 10.4.11 iMac G4 to use my scanner. Personally I can't get iCal to alarm in Leopard but that's a fairly minor gripe.
As this is the forum for much older iMacs I'd suggest re-posting in the Intel iMac forum and even Mac OS 10.5 Printing forums for better informed opinion:

What kind of wireless router would be best for my Westell B90?

I used to have linksys WRT54G router set up with my westell B90-21004 modem. It used to work fairly well until I've noticed that I've been getting intermittent internet connection. I've called verizon twice. First time, they asked me to switch the ends of the line connected to my modem. The problem continued. The second time, it was because the line between the modem and the phone jack was over 14 ft. I'm still getting intermittent problem. So I've been looking around for a solution and I figure it might be the router. As of right now, the modem is connected directly to the PC and it seems to be fine. When I tried to plug it back to the router, I can't even get online. What kind of router should I get? This was my second router. I used to have a netgear that didn't work at all. Is it even the router's fault? Maybe I did a bad setup or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Airport Express vs. Airport Extreme... which would work best for me?

Okay, I've owned a few Apple products over the years, but have recently replaced my laptop with a Macbook Pro. So, everything in our house that uses a wireless connection is made by Apple. The only reason I say that is because my wireless router is a few years old, and I seem to be having some issues with it. So, I am probably going to replace it. I also mentioned the all-apple status because it seems to be logical that I would buy an Apple router to go along with all of this. If that's a bad assumption, please let me know.
Here is what accesses our network each day. One Macbook Pro, an iMac, two iPads, 3 iPhones, an Apple TV (about to buy another one for upstairs), and a wireless printer. I occasionally use my XBox to play online, but not heavily. We also work with teenagers at our church, and often have a group of them over at our house....and they all use the network with their phones. I don't want to just buy the more expensive router so that they can use wifi... I just mentioned it to see if that would bring out any key differences in the two. Does one support more users than the other?
Which one would you guys suggest? I obviously like the price tag of the Express, but do not want to be disappointed... Thanks!

Compare the products here:
http://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/
If the primary use of the AirPort will be to provide a wireless connection to devices, then it would probably be OK.
But, you cannot connect a USB hard drive to the AirPort Express, and it does not have the better wireless antennas that are present in the AirPort Extreme.
If you need to connect Ethernet devices to the AirPort, the AirPort Extreme uses Gigabit Ethernet ports.....10 times faster than the ports on the Express. No contest there.
The AirPort Extreme will also provide a much faster 802.11ac wireless signal, but you will need to have an 802.11ac device like the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or iMac to realize the benefit. Other wireless devices will connect at the speeds at which they are capable.
Either the Express or the Extreme will support up to 50 wireless connections.
For me, the Extreme is a "no brainer" in terms of performance and future compatibility with newer wireless devices coming down the pike.....but if you don't need to connect a hard drive to the AirPort, you may disagree.

[Solved]What WM would be best for a dedicated console emulator box?

Hey all
So, using a recycled, slightly old small-form-factor computer, I am making a dedicated emulation box. It will run game console emulators for every game system I can think of. But anyways, that is what I intend to use this box for, and only that. I have been setting it up from an Arch Linux base install, aiming to consume the least resources I can (because it is an older box, and I want the best performance with my emulators). I need a recommendation on a Window manager that therefore:
-Does not have ANY sort of taskbars/titlebars/other stuff in the way.
-Consumes the least resources possible
Now, the current winner is just a default X11 shell that is seen when xinit is run. However, the shell does not cover the whole screen. I want the screen to be all one colour. Because I want the look of using this box with my friends to make it look put together.
Any recommendations?
Scott

I dunno about dwm, it has some bugs with fullscreen apps - funnily enough emulators seem to give it trouble, ScummVM will not run fullscreen on my install for instance.
I'd vote for Openbox, it has no taskbar or anything by default, windows will be initially themed but you can disable window borders and even the right click menu if you wish.
I was thinking openbox at first, because I use it on my main computer and know it pretty well. Thanks.
I was considering dwm, but thanks for the advisory about the fullscreen bugs.
I'll give evilwm a shot too. And give making the x11 shell bigger a shot too.
Thanks for the recommendations, but I have another quick question:
Is there any way to automatically login to the root account on the TTY without the use of X? This machine, once setup, will be only in my house and not connected to the internet, so the dangers of running as root are virtually 0. I want this because, on boot, I will just have to press power, and then without doing anything (aided by a bit of bash) I will be taken to a menu of sorts to select what console and game I want to play.

I have a new iphone 5. What security program works best for anti-viral protection? Thank You.

What computer would be best for me?

I am currently 13 years old, and ready to buy a new computer. But would a laptop be better for me? or a Desktop Computer?
I already have a laptop, but I will be replacing it with a new computer.
I don't think I should worry much about portability.
Price is very important, as my parents cannot afford a computer that is higher than $2000.
I do casually play online games, but will be mainly using it for surfing the web and doing homehork.
I would like to have a good size of memory and storage without having to pay a lot for it.
But the most important thing is to have a computer that will last for a couple of years without having to replace it.
And, if a laptop is better for me, should I get a Macbook Air or Pro?
Or, if a desktop computer is better, should I get an iMac or Mac Mini?
Thanks!

Hi and Welcome!
I concur with Allan. Go for an iMac. Go for the 21 inch screen models. I would go for either model, but you have to order either with the complete 16 GBs of RAM as you can add RAM at all, in the future, EVER!
If you can, for speed, get it with the 1 TB fusion drive option, also.
Good Luck and have fun!

Stupid question. How do you select -- in a Mac -- from which media to boot from? How would you get into BIOS?
Hey,
if i'm not mistaken you press the left alt key , right next to the cmd key.
I don't know how to get into the bios and i do not believe you can select an os to boot by default other than windows and mac os x, after you install grub it should be defaulted by efibootmgr but if you tell mac os x you'd rather boot from it you'll have to re bless grub :
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … g_blessing
if all this crap is too much for you, you can always go for refind which is really easy to install and remove. just google refind and install it in mac os x, uninstalling it is as easy as deleting it from the /EFI folder on the mac os x partition if i'm not mistaken.

I have a new (mid) 2011 imac and want to transfer my old records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for a new mac that would have compatible software for ripping to itunes?

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
Success, Jean

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,
