Which wireless network to connect to?

Hi, thanks in advance for your help. Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched for quite some time!
I have my time capsule connected to my router via internet cable, and have the time capsule to set up a new wireless network.
Know when i choose which wireless to connect to I have two choises.
My Question is when using my macbook pro, Ipad or Iphone wirelessy to use the internet, For the best connection should i connect to the Time Capsule, Or should I connect to the main router.
I understand that when I want to backup my pro to the time capsule I should connect to that network.
But for just general use, or does it not really matter that much. I have Time Capsule setup to a 5ghz network but does that not really matter if the router it's connected to may not support 5ghz?
Thanks alot

The TC always transmits both 2.4ghz and 5ghz .. you cannot turn it off. You can set a different name for the two bands though so you can force connection to one or the other.

Correct.. it just doesn't matter. Whatever works best for you.
And in fact you can do a roaming network.
Simply set the 2.4ghz in the TC to the same wireless name.. ie SSID as the router. Same security.. both should be wpa2 with AES = WPA2 personal in the TC. Same password.
And leave the devices to choose which is the strongest signal.
I would use a different name for 5ghz on the TC as that allows you to force the connection for clients doing TM backup.. the speed on 5ghz is far better as long as you are close.

  • Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port?

    Can I use my Airport Express as an end point on a wireless network and connect a computer via the ethernet port? - I'm wanting to connect a computer that does not have wireless and is in another building.

    The requirements for this to work are:
    1) The AirPort Express must be the 802.11"n" version. Model Number is A1264
    2) There must be adequate wireless signal stength where the Express will be located
    3) The Express must be configured to "join" the wireless network with the option checked to activate the Ethernet port

  • Wired airport express to extend wireless network and connect network printer?

    Is it possible to configure and connect an Airport Express via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme base station in order to extend wireless network AND connect a network printer to it?  Here's the deal...The Airport Extreme is directly connected to my DSL modem and the wireless network is working fine in my house, but, the signal does not reach my detached studio/office.  I have a Cat5e cable (and phone line, more on this later) run between the two locations and trimmed out.  I would like to have wireless access and connect my network printer (Brother HL-2170W, wireless or wired) in my studio, be able to use printer from house also, and still have wireless access in house.
    So, ethernet connection from Extreme to Express, USB from Express to Printer, wireless access for all users.  Can anyone talk me through how to (re)configure the Express to do this?  Do I need to make changes to Extreme configuration also?

    Is it possible to configure and connect an Airport Express via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme base station in order to extend wireless network AND connect a network printer to it?
    Yes. Apple's instructions for this are here:

    Instead of a second AirPort Extreme as illustrated, you will be using the AirPort Express.

  • Macbook Pro can't see wireless network or connect to it, but iPhone can!?!?

    ok here"s the deal:
    I got my macbook pro in the states through school and it has been working fine ever since. I now just moved back home to Germany and for some odd reason the wireless network at home at my mom's won't appear in my "join network" list.
    I have tried diagnostics and advanced stuff, I have even typed in the network name and password into my preferred networks list manually... still nothing. When I connect the computer through an ethernet cable it works just fine. also searched and updated all my updates in case that was maybe the issue...
    here's the clue. my sister and her friend both also have macbooks (not pro's though) and both also run leopard and both of their laptops can see and connect to our wireless just fine. ALSO I have an iPhone, I purchased in the states and it can see and connect without any issues as well..
    I have called the German Apple support people, but they are absolutely useless and there are exactly 2 (!!!) genius bars here in Germany. one 4h and one 6h from where I live... sighs
    this is what I found in my about section, in case anybody knows what this means:
    +AirPort Card Information:+
    +Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8C)+
    +Wireless Card Locale: USA+
    +Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.21)+
    is it because it says "USA" and I am now in Germany? but how stupid would that be? other people that bring their American macs over don't have issues either... right???
    so yeah... HELP??? ANYBODY??? PLEASE???

    Hello,
    I had the same problem when I was traveling with my 2009 Macbook Pro. I am on a French ship and my MacBook was bought in the US. We have a wireless gaming network to play Call of Duty on that is set up on a LinkSys router. I was so frustrated because everyone else here could connect and play without a problem. My iPhone would even connect to the network but my MacBook Airport card wouldn't even recognize the network.
    It turns out that some countries use different Wifi channels. The Airport card in the US MacBook Pro is setup to only recognize channels 1-11. The European LinkSys router was broadcasting on channel 13 which is why my MacBook couldn't even see it. I changed the wireless channel on the router to 10 and now everything works great. I hope this works for you.
    Cheers
    P.S. - The US MBP can only recognize channels 1-11 on a standard 2.4GHz network. To see what channels your Airport Card will recognize, open System Profiler (located in the Utilities folder) and find the "Network" heading in the column on the left. Click "Airport" and it should display all of the supported channels in the info box to the right.

  • Why does my powerbook suddenly not recognize wireless network-no connection

    I did a software update yesterday (EFI Firmware Update, Bluetooth Firmware Update, Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4, iPhoto Update, Safari, iTunes, HP Printers Drivers Update) and now, suddenly, my connection fails. The computer can't recognise my wireless network, while other computers in the house do. I dont know if it;s related to keychains, i've unlocked them, but nothing works. Help? Thank you.

    FIXED!
    The IP address of the printer had changed. I printed a new Configuration Page from the printer, which contains the IP address. I then entered the new IP address into my iMac. The iMac was then able to 'see' the printer and I can now print.
    The HP forums solved this for me.

  • Computer "Forgets" Which Wireless Network it Should Join

    OK. So sometimes when I bring my laptop home from an excursion to a coffee shop or the library or whatnot, I find that it will incorrectly join a random open wireless network called "linksys" instead of remembering to connect to my own network. Now this isn't a huge problem because I can then just choose my own network from the list, but why can't it remember?
    Even stranger, my own wireless network gets full reception, but the one it keeps joining instead only shows up as 1 or 2 bars.

    I had a similar problem and I wish I had detailed the magic steps that fixed it. I remember I had to delete all my settings and redo them -- specifically the settings for the airport card and the password required to join the network. And then it wouldn't come back up quite right until I had logged out and back in. Somewhere in there it would forget, but there seems to be only one point in the process when the computer seems willing to remember. Try this: re-do all your network settings associated with the wireless network, then reboot. When you first join the network again, if there's any checkbox about remembering the network, click it.

  • Connected to Wireless Network, Not Connected to Internet...

    Hi All
    I recently had my NVIDIA graphics card replaced as it freaked right out the other day.
    I took my MacBook Pro home yesterday and everything was perfect. It connected to my wireless network @ home as normal, and was functional all night.
    I have come to work today, and it automatically joined up with the network here. Only problem is, that whilst it connects to the network here, and obtains an IP address as well, as soon as I try to connect to the internet, it says that I am not connected to the internet!!!
    Now the finer details:
    * I have reset EVERYTHING. Routers, Modems, Computers etc
    * All firmware is still the same as it was pre-nvidia fix up.
    * Distance is not a problem, I am sitting next to the wireless router.
    * An ethernet cable from the router to my computer ALLOWS access to the internet
    * My Iphone can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the internet.
    * A windows PC can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the net.
    * I can see that it is connected to the router AND given an IP address.
    Please help!!!

    I had the same problem. I sent my MBP to get a Logic Board/Nvidia fix and when it came back I could no longer connect to networks using DHCP. I have to manually put in my IP, Subnet, etc. for every network I join.
    Randomly about a week in I had some pop-up window show up asking me to allow incoming network connections for something and when i clicked on it I was able to us DHCP again. Just tonight it stopped working and I am once again in the position where i have to manually input IP info, etc.
    Super Frustrating

  • Can't connect to wireless network but connects if I move it 1 meter

    Hi all,
    I've had my 27" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo for over 3 months now with no issues, but suddenly over the weekend I can no longer connect to my network.
    Sometimes I can see my network listed (but the signal is now very weak when it used to be very strong) and when I try to connect I get a "Connection Timeout" error. Othertimes I can't even see my network.
    If I move my whole mac about 1 meter "closer" to the router (it sits downstairs, my mac upstairs) it connects fine. But as soon as I put it back on my desk, where it has been sitting for the past 3 months, the connection drops out or it can't find the network. (I can't leave it "closer" to the router, as that would mean I'm sitting on the floor right in my room doorway...)
    All other PC's, laptops, my MacBook and iPhone all connect fine. In the MacBooks case, it connects fine in exactly the same spot as where my mac had been sitting for the past 3 months.
    I'm using a Belkin N150 wireless router which is supposed to have a range of 300m (my house is definitely not that big!) and using a WPA2 Personal password security setting. As I said above, no issue before this past weekend (same router, same settings).
    I have tried the following:
    - restarting router, modem, computer (in various orders) to no avail
    - deleting the system configuration folder, re-starting, etc.
    Just wondering if there's something I'm missing? Or whether or not it's to do with the wider issue of connecting that people seem to have? I thought it may be different since I can connect if it sits somewhere else...
    Any help wold be appreciated since my support has run out!
    Thanks in advance!

    Yeah I've tried moving it but unfortunately I'm a bit constrained as to how far I can move it (aprox 20cms each way). There are lots of ethernet cables plugged in and they all run behind what is, a very solid, very big desk/shelving thing.
    However, the position of the router hasn't changed in the past 3 months.
    I've also tried disconnecting the cordless phone which sits in the same room and moving any extra cables around the router to no avail. But none of these things are new either.

  • My wireless network looses connection between airport express and modem.

    The indicator under the "Internet" icon in airport utility switches from green to amber every minute or so.  When it is amber I have no, or very slow speed.

    Interestingly the Linksys WRT-54G is one of the few non-Apple routers that are WDS-compatible with the earlier 802.11g AirPorts. There are a number of posts on the Internet (use the following search terms: Linksys AirPort WDS) where the authors described how they configured theirs to work.
    If; however, you don't want to "experiment," your suggestion to interconnect the two routers by Ethernet should work just fine. In this case, you would want to configure them both for a roaming network.

  • Brand new macbook pro cannot connect to wireless networks

    The first time I called apple tech, they thought it was a problem with my internet provider. I've called 4 times now, and I'm still getting the runaround.
    I have an old (2001) G4 sitting right next to my macbook pro which can see numerous wireless networks and connect to them all. A strong connection at that. However, my brand new (refurbished) Macbook Pro Intel etc,.... supposedly best computer ever made, . . . . can see the same wireless networks but has never been able to connect. As a student, I saved for a year to buy this notebook so I could work at cafe's & study with my friends. My friends with PC's can all connect to these wireless networks. My friends with older, less expensive notebooks can connect no problem. I have never been able to connect. Bought this peice of junk 2 1/2 months ago - only because I didn't want to be stuck at home anymore with my desktop. Stupid me to trust apple.
    I wish I could get my $ back, but I'm now being told that it's 30 days too late. Before they told me it was a minor thing and some software update could fix it. I did as told. downloaded and installed their 10.4.8 thingy - deleted all the keychain stuff - nothing. same peice of junk.
    Now they are telling me to go back to the genius bar where folks are just rude to me and tell me they can't help me becuase I bought a "refurbished" model that didn't even save me $25. What do you know.
    Anyone having problems like this? Anyone out there who can help me?

    Okay,
    I apologie for calling it a peice of junk. I know you all probably worship this machine. I'm just really frustrated. I noticed that this is a very common problem - though most of the posts identical to mine have dissapeared from apple.com - this well known defect is all over other discussion boards and websites like macdefect, etc,....
    So, can any of you tech gods help me with this very well known, common problem that I haven't been able to fix with 10.4.8 upgrade?
    Thanks for your time and assistance,

  • Upgraded to 10.4.10 and auto connect to last wireless network does not work

    Hi !
    just upgraded to 10.4.10 and now every time I boot I have to select my home wireless network to connect. This while I have the option automatic join selected, which worked until version 10.4.9.
    Anyone else experiencing this ?
    thanks for your time !

    Well, well,
    I downloaded the new Safari beta version and went (don't ask why, maybe insanity: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result) to System Preferences->Network again. There I deleted my wireless network (as I did the last time), but now I got immediately a message about KeyChain (which I didn't got before, so I did get a different result !!). And guess what, now the auto connect does work again !
    So, the upgrade to 10.4.10 messed with something that the beta upgrade did correct.

  • Can I extend my network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable? I have CAT5 cable throughout my house but have a wireless network w/ 3 airport expresses

    Can I extend my wireless network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable?  I have a wireless network with 3 airport expresses and 1 airport extreme functioning as the base station. I have CAT5 throughout my house.

    Welcome to the discussions, mib88!
    Can I extend the network a second time with another Airport Express...
    The short answer would be no. If you want more details, please continue to the next paragraph.
    Apple's "extend a wireless network" works just like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your main hub is either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express is at the end of a spoke. You can add more devices at the ends of other spokes, but these devices will communicate directly to the hub, not to another device at the end of a spoke.
    Apple does offer an option which is is known as a "static WDS", which can consist of a "main", "relay" and "remote" device. The problem here is that this type of setup has two huge drawbacks:
    1) All of your faster "n" devices will drop down to much slower "g" speeds
    2) The bandwidth or speed capability on the network will drop down to only 25% of the original bandwidth with a "main", "relay" and "remote" on the network.
    Don't think you want this on your network. Your best option is to connect the new AirPort Express to the "hub" using an ethernet connection. If you can't run the ethernet cable, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by sending the ethernet signal over the AC powerline in your home.

  • Connecting a wrt54g to an existing wireless network

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to create a second wireless network by connecting a wrt54g to our existing wireless network?
    Our main router is upstairs, connection in the downstairs office is terrible, plus it's being used by a team that would like their own network anyways. Can I plug the wrt54g into the main router, assign it a static external IP and create a second wireless network?
    thanks 

    great thread toomanydoughnuts, thanks!  all the hours I spend googling for an answer are such a waste when I can post a specific question and a human being answers me back  :-)
    I see that what I was trying to do is possible but before I start let me ask your opinion.
    My initial goal for a seperate network was to give Router 2 a static external IP and connect our server to router 2 so external users would always be able to access it at the same address in case Router 1 ever had an IP change (I don't have constant access to router 1 and am not supposed to be fiddling with it!)
     The secondary goal was to improve the wireless signal for those of us downstairs and I figure having Router 2 down there would provide a nice strong signal.
    I have realized now that dyndns can solve my issue with Router 1's IP changing (even if it's once a month it's an issue for remote users accessing our server). Dyndns will re-point our host name to the new IP if it ever changes.  
    But I still have the issue of a very weak signal in the downstairs office.
    Because I'm seeking the simplest, easiest to manage solution as I'm far from a network guru, do you think a better option may be to get a repeater or something like that for our downstairs office to just boost the signal from Router 1? If so, any recommendations?
    thanks in advance for your time 
    Oh, and if I did go the route of setting up Router 2, could I give Router 2 a static external IP address?

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.
