Wifi extending issue as well as NAS off-site.
Having a couple of issues I'm trying to work around. Hope someone here can help me out. I'm not sure if this is a two part question or can be combined.
I have a garden office which I'm about to start working from. It's about 30-35m from the back of my house and wifi for some reason is barely 1 bar once it reaches the office. I've had power installed to the office recently via armored cable which is conncted to the house mains but no phone line or Ethernet. Running an Ethernet cable at this point isn't really an option and this also being London it's really wet so the damp will eat though it in no time. The router is also located at the very rear of the house and the only thing between it and the garden shed is a set of glass doors and 30m of open space.
Due to security I'd also like to keep my QNAP NAS inside the house and not with the system and be able to backup remotly without having to transport the system. So needing suggestions on connecting to it from my tower as well please.
I did recently buy an Apple Airport Extreme thinking it would be as simple as that but sadly the range was was even shorter then with my standard router. I left it connected for a week to see if it would condition itself eventually but to no avail. I simply couldn't even get a connection at all with it.
I'm in desperate need of getting it up and running and not sure where to go or start with this.
This worked for me and wifi is back up and working... bluetooth is still out...

I have an internet extender for our WIFI and the light is blinking and I can't figure out what to do to update or deal with it?? This is driving me crazy. I see it on the Utility menu that there is an issue but even when I plug it in in close proximity to the router i get nothing? Do I need to hardwire it to update it?
Ok, thank you for providing the additional base station information.
Note: Your 2nd generation 802.11n AirPort Express base stations can only extend one of the Extreme's Wi-Fi networks. That is because, you have a 1st generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme, which can only operate on one of the radios (2.4 or 5 GHz) at a time. Most likely, the Express base stations will only be extending the 2.4 GHz radio. If you want both radios extended, you will have to upgrade your Extreme to a 3rd generation model or later that supports simultaneous dual-band operation.
I would suggest the following:
Power-down all of your AirPort base stations.
Bring both extender (Express) base stations into the same room as the Extreme.
Perform a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations.
Temporarily plug both Express base stations into the available LAN (opposing arrows) ports of the Extreme. Do not plug either Express base station into power just yet.
Power-up the AirPort Extreme. Wait for it to initialize.
Verify that you can get Internet access from both wired and wireless clients connected to the Extreme.
Power-up one of the AirPort Express base stations.
Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Express to extend the Extreme.
Allow the Express to restart. Verify that you can still gain Internet access with the extended network.
Power-down the Express; place it at the desired location, and then, power-up the Express; allow it time to reinitialize.
Verify that both the Extreme and the Express have solid green status LEDs.
Power-up the second Express. Again use the linked procedure to configure it to extend the Extreme. Allow time for the Express to restart and initialize.
Verify that all three base stations have solid green status LEDs.
Power-down the second Express, and then, place it at the desired location.
Power-up the Express and allow it time to initialize.
Again, verify that all three base stations have a solid green status LED.
Finally, verify that you can gain Internet access from your extended network. -
has anyone with sprint had time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turn itself off?
Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed. -
Can you help with why my Ipad, when streaming with Airplay, drops off my wifi extender?
Hi, I use a wifi extender to get better coverage down the back of my house. When close to my router, I use airplay from my ipad on my regular network, streaming to my marantz sr5007. It works perfectly. When I'm in the backroom, I choose the extender network for my ipad (network.ext) to stream music using airplay. After a few minutes (normally 3 but it's been up to 20minutes), the music stops and the ipad shows it's back on it's own speaker. No music is playing. I can then choose the marantz again, the music will start. Two minutes later the same thing happens.
This only happens when on the SSID of the extender. Strangely, when I use itunes on my pc to stream music, and place it on the extender SSID, it's stable and keeps the connection to the marantz.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks very much. I'm going to contact Netgear when I get home to see if they've got any ideas.
I'll also try to use a static IP for the marantz. That seems to have helped a couple of people.
Thanks again. -
Hi, I have iPad 2, when I buy it it has old iOS. Then I update it now it has 5.1.1 iOS and modern firmware 4.12.01. After update my wifi is not working. Only searching for wifi. 3G working well. But wifi olso worked with old iOS. So what can do ? Pls

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Step #5 DO a back up recovery from the last back up you did onto your computer not Icloud ok!!
Step #6 after you recovered your phone from last back up on your computer it will atumaticaly have service and WiFi conection like before..
I hope i did explained well to you i did work for me after 7 hours of doing reset and back up =) -
Home Wifi Network Issue using Airport and 2 BT Hub...
I'm having problems getting my home network set up without IP conflicts. Any advice much appreciated...
Here's what I've currently got:
BT Broadband Unlimted
Hub 2.0 connected to broadband line - wireless network switched off
Apple Airport Time Capsule connected to Hub 2.0 by WAN cable (Airport running in Bridge mode)
Various Apple devices (MBP, iMac, iPhones, iPads, iPod), PS3 and Sony Surround Sound connected to Airport with wifi.
Wifi extender connected to Airport by wifi (obviously) for upstairs - PS3 and occassionally MBP connected to that)
Ethernet cable from Airport to a Hub 1.5 in the Garden Office with MBP and HP Printer then connected to Hub 1.5 with wifi.
HDD connected to Airport with USB cable.
Everything was working fine until I ran the ethernet cable to the office and connected the Hub 1.5. It worked fine in the office, wifi connected, I could see the internet and the Airport and the connected HDD.
However, at this point, the iMac back in the house, which connects to the Airport wifi network, sometimes connects to the internet, sometimes doesn't. It connected to the Wifi fine, just won't connect to the Internet. It was stopping at the Hub2.0 "Default Gateway" (according to traceroute). Switching wifi networks on the iMac (e.g. Airport 2.5Ghz to Airport 5GHz, or Airport to FON or Airport to the Office Wifi) fixes the internet connection problem, until next time I try to connect.
This only affects the iMac. The MBPs, iPhones etc have no problems connecting to wither wifi or the Internet...
I figured it must be an IP addressing problem due to the Hub1.5 conflicting with the IP address range configured for the Hub2.0, so I tried to re-configure this on the Hub1.5 in the Office.
However, to get to the Hub Manager, I had to disconnect the Ehternet cable (otherwise it just went to the Hub2.0 Hub Manager). Once I did this and reset the Hub1.5 to factory settings, I could see the Hub1.5 Manager. However, if I click on Advanced and enter the password (after restting it with the SN) I can't see any of the advances menu options in the left hand panel (e.g. IP Addresses). So I can't change the IP address range.
Any ideas how I can get to see the IP Address options on the Hub1.5?
I also tried setting a static IP address on the iMAC, but it won't let me - just says IP address already in use when I try to change it to one in the range set on the Hub2.
Worse thing is, now that I've reset the Hub1.5, the Internet connection keeps dropping on that as well now. It works fine for a few minutes then drops and I have to turn wifi off and on again, or disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable to get the Internet to connect again, then it drops after a few minutes.
So, I've gone from the iMac not working to the iMac and the office hub1.5 not working properly, and all I've really done is reset the hub1.5 to factory settings...
Shall I just get rid of the 1.5 and buy a different wifi router for the office?
Should I be able to change the IP address range on the 1.5?
Any other ideas?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.Have you tried running the TC not in bridge mode?
In airport utility, instead of selecting bridge mode, select share a public ip address. You will get an advisory warning from the TC but just opt to ignore it.
This way all of the DHCP is handled by the TC and the HH1.5 and none by the HH2.
Otherwise a replacement for the HH1.5 might be called for - perhaps and airport extreme. -
Wireless Homeplugs or WiFi extender?
Hi, I want to improve the Wifi range in my home. Would I be best off with Wireless Homeplugs or a WiFi extender? It'd be mainly for connecting our Android devices in rooms lacking a decent Wifi signal....I have no knowledge of either (didn't know they existed untill I'd seen them mentioned on this site). Don't need anything too extravagent as its only for internet surfing, a bit of YouTube streaming on our tablets/mobiles.
I'm on Infinity 80/20 with HH4 if that would make a difference
ThanksThere are a number of options on these pages.
Wireless connection problems
Network connection problems and possible solutions
I think that the roaming issue has been fixed with the HH4, so an additional wireless access point, or Powerline wifi devices should work fine.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Problem using Apple TV with TP-Link Wifi Extender
Hi,
I have been having problems connecting my Macbook Pro to my Apple TV via airplay and I believe it is due to the new wifi extender that I have installed in my home. Basically, the wifi extender uses the powerlines in the walls to extend the connection from my office at one end of the house, to my living room at the other. I am sitting here with my Macbook Pro in front of the TV using Apple TV, both connected to the same wifi SSID but still no option to mirror or extend my desktop onto the Apple TV. Can anyone help? Please? This is also affecting my Homesharing. It's as if the wifi extender is actually technically a second wifi network and my devices are getting confused and not finding each other.
JoeI have the same Activity set up for my Harmony One. (First, I believe you mean "Devices," not "Components.") You appear to have some of your buttons customized wrong for the Apple TV Activity, since you said other Activities work fine, like Watch TV, etc. Within the Harmony software, go to the Activities (NOT Devices) tab, choose Watch Apple TV (or whatever you have named this activity), and then choose Customize Buttons. Then click the Standard Buttons tab, and then go down the whole list (of dropdown menus) to assign, re-assign, or confirm that all the proper Commands are assigned to all the proper Devices. For example, to correct your volume control issue, choose your Receiver to control the volume up and down Commands, etc. If this is done correctly, you won't have to go to Devices (for the receiver) any more on your remote to control the volume. It will all be controlled within the remote's Activity function, as you've requested. It has to work, since your other Activites are finding your receiver properly. If not, then Logitech's Harmony support has been helpful to me in the past, assuming you're still in warranty, etc. I hope this helps. Good luck!

HP Slate 21 Pro: WiFi connection issues
Hi,
I recently ordered two HP Slate 21 Pro devices. Unfortunately, both of them have WiFi connection issues. After some time the properly configured WiFi connection will be dropped, which results in connectionless devices. The WiFi AP is disabled after this, and so a timed reconnect will not succeed.
After inspecting the Logcat I found following lines:

Especially this line:
12-05 08:56:59.080 D/ConnectivityService(675): ConnectivityChange for WIFI: DISCONNECTED/DISCONNECTED
Is this issue already known? Has someone a solution for me?
Thanks in advance,
ChristianThat really shouldn't affect it.
I'm a little stumped because I haven't seen this issue with this device before. The only similar issue I found was this, and it's unresolved.
Have you tried doing a hard reboot of the Slate 21?

Wifi performance issues on macbook pro
Hello, I have an older MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5 that is having serious wifi issues (really slow browsing and accessing sites) and even regularly appears to drop the wifi connection. It also has trouble printing to our HP wireless printer. I am confident the issue is with the Macbook as we have 2 other windows laptops that work fine (and can print reliably), as well as iPads and iphones that all seem to be working OK.
We are using a Timecapsule wifi router that is located close-by, and all the other devices seem to be reliably connecting.
If anyone has any suggestion or diagnostics I can run on the Macbook to help diagnose the problem it would be really appreciated.
ThankyouHold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
PHY Mode
Channel
Security
Signal/Noise or RSSI
Transmit Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select

since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?
I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy! -
