What settings/channel should I choose to stop major overlap?

OK, to start, both my printers, iphone 5, macbook air, all accept 802.11n. I currently have a 5th generation airport extreme. For speed, and other reasons, I want all of my devices on the 802.11n frequency. But as you can see from the photo, (I live on campus housing), there are MANY wireless routers, many on the same channel, and it's causing some interference/slower speeds because of it. I need help finding the most optimal channel. MY SSID's are the 1st two in the pic. .maybe someone could help me so my airport only broadcasts "mode" "n" instead of "b/g/n", and "a/n" respectfully. and find the best channel to switch to, as you can see many people have channel have 1, 6, 11. help please! thanks!

i tried your suggestion corvus32, as you can see in the screen shot, but if you look at the second screen shot, it's still showing that I'm transmitting more than the "n" mode. I refreshed the wifi scanner to make sure that it was an accurate reading, but still not broadcasting ONLY "N" mode

  • Once and for all, how does one stop losing music on IPOD TOUCH? WHAT settings do you people use to stop losing music? Does anybody have any help with this? Does any body have any help at all? APPLE offers no help!!!!!!!!!

    I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I constantly loss my music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need help to stop this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First of all, is the music only disappearing from your iPod, or from your iTunes Library as well?
    From your other thread, I gather you swap between Manually Managing and Syncing. This is a bad idea, it will lead to confusion on your part about what should be on the iPod. You'll make a choice that iTunes later overrides - because you've told it to. Choose one method or the other, not both.
    Peresonally, I recommend using the iTunes Sync process. Using Sync will not prevent you from deciding what's on your iPod. You will still have a free and full choice in that. The Sync process will however, make it far easier for you to put everything back onto your iPod in the event that you need to Restore your iPod, or when you replace this iPod with a newer one.
    Back to your issue though. Is the music, missing from your iPod, still in your Library?

  • Ps CS6 Laptop - What Hard Drive should I choose?

    I'm going to be ordering a laptop for work very soon. I will need a laptop for travel and my company orders through Dell. Basically here is my build so far (below). I have read so many forums and articles about hard drive setups. But I'm limited to a laptop so I need to prioritize! Please offer some advice on my build so far, best Hard Drive, and any room for improvement, or even where I might have overkill (is that possible? haha). I get one internal hard drive and I want to choose the best one for my application. I will be working with files for print. I believe up to 48" x 64" x 600dpi multiple layers. I'm going to max out RAM to reduce scratch disk necessity. Also, when docked I will have dual 22" monitors.
    15.4” Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation
    Win 7 Pro, 64 bit
    Photoshop CS6
    Intel i7 Processor 2.8GHz
    NVIDIA Quadro K2000M w 2GB GDDR3
    32 GB RAM
    Hard Drive Options:
    512GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (very expensive)
    256GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (expensive)
    1TB 2.5" 5400rpm Hard Drive
    750GB 2.5" 7200rpm Hard Drive
    Thoughts? Thanks so much!

    Ok here's the problem its either 3 drives, no optical media, RAID  ***OR*** 1 drive, no RAID. I can't have 2 drives becuase I get the following "error" when choosing options on the dell site
    The No Raid RAID Configuration only allows a maximum of (1) 2.5" hard drive. If Primary Storage selected is 2.5" then Secondary Storage will need to be "NONE".
    SO with THESE LIMITATIONS what do you think is my best bet? 3 drives and no media (seems like a bad idea?) or 1 512 ssd? Also my boss thinks I need 2TB of space (which isn't even an option here) and so I think it will take some convincing to explain that a smaller faster more expensive SSD rive could be optimal over the 1TB or 750GB HDDs....
    With everyone's advice and suggestions I'm no closer to making a decision. I really need to work within these parameters. And keep in mind the 32 gb ram and other specs and what I'm doing. I'm not doing 3D animations or video production here. I don't even have Illustrator or other software, just PS CS6 (not to say I won't get Illustrator or other graphics software in the future but my job function should not change - just print work)
    Thanks

  • What frame-rate should I choose for iOS devices ?

    Hi there,
    I have my project set to 60FPS. everything looks smooth and fine  when testing on the iphone 4s.
    I don't have a 3G to test on yet, should I leave the framerate as 60FPS for 3g or lower it?
    I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it matters.
    Just after some clarification about what to set the framerate to.
    Thanks

    Yes release is same as non-debug
    Okay I finally get your question.
    The idea is to keep a value for fps that meets your requirement. Using a value higher than this wastes resources. A simple example would be running an application at 60 fps that is an enterprise application which is clearly wasteful. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is of 40 fps then keep framerate at 40. Now two things can happen either your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or it won't have. If it has the juice it will run at 40 fps no issues. But if it does not have enough juice then it won't and cause stutter. In such a case raising the framerate to 60 will serve no purpose, because that relatively slower device could not scroll at 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You should not concern yourself to keep different framerates for different devices. Keep the framerate at a value that meets your requirement, if the underlying device can play at that fps it will play, otherwise it will stutter.
    To answer your original question, no you will not get smoother scrolling on a lower frame rate.

  • What input channel should my sony bravia tv be on for apple tv to work?

    I am trying to plug our new apple tv into our Sony LCD Digital Color TV (KDL-V26XBR1) but I the tv instructions do not explain which input channel the tv needs to be set to to watch appletv.  I have purchased an HDMI cable which is plugged into the apple tv and the television.  Help...I'm a bit tech hopless.

    If you only have one HDMI connection, cycle through your input options until you reach HDMI, press any button on your Apple Tv and in a few moments you should see the Apple TV interface.
    If you have more than one HDMI connection, each HDMI port will usually have a number alongside it, discover the number of the HDMI port you are using and cycle to that input......

  • What size photo should I choose to send in an email.

    Hi you 'guys' with all the answers !!! When emailing a photo I am given the option of scaling the image. Do I choose Small (41.3KB), Medium (118 KB), Large (396 KB) or Actual Size. How do I know which option to choose and what is the difference? Does it affect sending time, quality or actual picture size.
    MANY THANKS.

    There is actually a reason for the three different sizes pf pictures, and it has to do with what you intend to to with the photo after it is sent.
    If you are sending a 'snapshot' to a friend to view on another smart phone or small format PC then small is fine. Essentially if it is intended to be viewed once or twice, then choose small. Works great for this use.
    If the viewer is going to be use a PC or other large format device, then the medium format if great. It has plenty of pixels to satisfy the display requirements of all but the most sophisticated monitor. This size is also good for printing at the 4x6 or maybe even a 5x7 size.
    If you intend to work with the photo with something like Photoshop, or if you intend to have the photo processed professionally (as compared to printing it on a 600 dpi photo printer), use the larger size picture.
    I use my iPhone camera, a point and shoot camera and a SLR high end camera a lot. If I am just fooling around, I will use the iPhone or pocket camera. If I am doing some serious photography (weddings, portraits, wildlife, etc.), I use my trusty SLR.
    I will admit that the quality of the iPhone camera and my point-and-shoot are blurring with the quality of the SLR, there is still a difference when you blow the picture up to 11x17 or larger. Also, I don't think a bride would accept any explanation for me showing up at her wedding to take photos with only my iPhone ;o)

  • Satellite L500D: What Win7 version should I choose: 32bit or 64bit?

    I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite L500D and upon starting it up it asks in the product recovery menu to choose either Windows 7 32-bit version or Windows 7 64-bit version.
    I am really not sure which option I should be selecting.
    Can some please assist??

    Hi
    Its your choice which version you choose! ;)
    But if you have 4GB or more RAM installed I would suggest choosing the 64bit version. Only this version can handle 4GB or more RAM.
    If you dont have 4GB RAM you can choose the 32bit version. Some older applications are require 32bit OS.
    Have fun with your new notebook! :)

  • What music format should I choose for a download?

    I am new to downloading music and haven't used iTunes. I bought a track at theclassicalshop.net and it is now asking what format I want to download it in: WMA, WAV, AIF. I don't have a clue which one. Then in another part of the screen I have a choice between WMA  and MP3.
    I have an iMac, iPhone and iPad; no W******.
    I would also like some background information on formats. I gather from other questions in the forum that iTunes uses AAC or something but that it is lossy, which doesn't sound good. But I also gather that iTunes can convert from and to other formats. Is there some reliable information on this subject somewheter someone could point me to? I would really appreciate it. I can't find anything on apple.com.

    MP3 and AAC (M4a) are both lossy. WAV and AIFF files are non-lossy but are very much larger - impracticably so for most downloading purposes. iTunes does not handle WMA files.
    MP3 and AAC quality can be perfectly reasonable as long as they are not compressed too much - purchased items are usually fine. You could download AIFF if you want to be fussy, though it's likely the difference won't be obvious unless you are using a good hifi system.
    You could download as AIFF or WAV and convert to MP3 or AAc but there's no point at all in doing that if you can download an MP3 version. Note that if you download an MP3 version there is no point in converting to AIFF - all you will do is make the file size larger, it won't improve the quality at all.
    AAC files are slightly better quality than MP3 at the equivalent bitrate, though again the difference is minimal and not likely to be obvious in most playback situations. You could compromise by downloading AIFF and converting to AAC if you want to keep the filesize on your Mac (and more to the point your iPod) down, though the download will be a long one as a result. This post explains how to do the conversion:

  • If I want to manually set the channel, what channel should that be?

    I received a tip to choose my channel manually, to get higher speed because of all the wifis in the area. What channel should i choose, and is there any difference wether i choose channel 1 or channel 13?

    In theory, you could use a utility like iStumber or other similar applications to survey the wireless networks in your area, see what channels are being used by those networks and choose a different channel for your wireless.
    Unfortunately, it is just not that simple. Other routers are looking for available channels and changing all the time, as does your Apple router. A "good" channel today may be overcrowded tomorrow or even an hour from now.
    On top of that, many users employ an option to "hide" their network so that its name and channel information is not displayed when you scan for other networks using a utility like iStumbler.
    So, there is a good chance that there are additional wireless networks that you cannot even "see" and it becomes virtually impossible to try to pick an open channel. The whole thing becomes a matter of daily guesswork to try find a good channel.
    Your TC is already programmed to automaticlly look for the best channel available. It's possible that you might be able to find a good channel manually, but which channel to choose? in the U.S, channels 1, 6 and 11 are the most crowded channels.
    Lupunus has an excellent suggestion in that you try the 5 GHz channels since there are very few 5 GHz wireless networks in operation.....for now.

  • Having issues with PC gaming and my Linksys AC1900 router! (What settings should I be using?)

    Well I recently purchased a linksys AC1900 for a better/faster connection with my internet. Sadly, I have been having issues with online gaming. I am attempting to play a blizzard game (Diablo 3) but its not letting my connect. I did a direct wired connection and it worked just perfect. However, I dont want to play in my garage...lol. Does anyone have any ideas what settings I should be using? It lets me connect to battlenet but when my character loads into the world I get disconnected. I tried opening ports, shutting off uPnP, and various other things. Is the the router or is it me? Someone please help!

    I got confused with your response. If you are still having the same challenge, make sure you have enough speed to play any online game. You may also try to reboot your PC and the router. If the result is the same, check if the firmware is up to date. You may try to manually update it on the Linksys Smart WiFi page. Here's how. Once accomplished, reset, reboot, and reconfigure the router. I hope this helps!

  • What settings control the excessive 'p' and 'f' sounds from USB mic?

    I'm recording a short intro to my Podcast and using a USB microphone. When playing it back, the 'puh' and 'fff' sounds when saying any word that has a 'p' or an 'f' in it are annoyingly exaggerated. I'm no sound engineer, so I don't know what settings I should be trying to change to make the recording sound normal.

    Is the waveform clipping at these p's? Then it will be hard to get rid of them completely, because there is distortion. But you can try:
    First of all, don't do it in GB, use an audio editor like Audacity or SoundStudio. (You could do it in GB, but audio editors are a lot more versatile). So export your GB track and open it in the audio editor. Find one of the p's (they're easy to see) and zoom in on it very closely. You'll see the wave that goes into the ceiling and is flattened at the top. Try to select just that p (between two zero points of the waveform). Bring down the volume of the selection so that it is about equal to the waves left and right of it.
    The second characteristic of the plosives is that they have very strong basses. So open up an equalizer, preferably a graphic one, and bring the lower frequencies down (again, only on that little selection).
    If you're lucky, your plop will hardly be audible after this operation.
