Will extending with an Express drop the throughput of an Extreme

I just bought a new Extreme base station and discovered that it doesn't have the range I need. If I buy an Express to extend the range, will I lose the benefit of the "n" throughput?
Thanks
macbook 13" core 2 duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

...so could I locate the AEBS in one place and use the LAN to connect the AE somewhere else? Would this mean I would "not incur this degradation" ie I'd get the "n" throughput.
Yes and yes
2. Is there any hope that Apple will come out with a new AE that is "n" compatible any time soon?

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

Extend with 2nd Express?

I have a studio apartment behind my house. It is across a 20' patio and tree. I have an airport extreme in my front room, and an airport express in the back room of the house closest to the studio. I want to provide my tenant with wireless. She is only able to get two out of four bars on her signal strength. We live in an urban area, and there is lots of "noise" -- mac stumbler shows a signal in my house of 63 - 98 with noise around 52 at most times. I don't know if this is the problem... can I extend the first express with a second? Perhaps actually in her apartment?
powerbook G4 Titanium Mac OS X (10.2.x)

She is only
able to get two out of four bars on her signal
strength.
That should be fine, I am sending this to the forum with 1 bar going on 2!
Remember that if you put an Airport Express (AX) in her apartment though her Mac will get a stronger signal, the AX will only be receiving the poor signal she can get already.

6500 with SLB blade dropped the packets from HA device.

A weird behavior observed in 6500 with SLB blade. the topology is as below:
client--HA---6500 with SLB----server farm
The first Syn packet reached the 6500 with client MAC address as source MAC and can be forwarded to the server correctly. But due to HA vendor special behavior, the second Syn packet's source MAC is rewritten to HA device MAC address and this Syn is dropped by the 6500.
Is this a special feature for 6500? And is it possible to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
1, HA device is from other vendor. It works as transparent mode and the session will be processed by 2 blades in the round-robin schedule.
The first SYN is processed by the master and reach the 6500 with client MAC as the source MAC. the second SYN is processed by the slave and the source MAC is rewritten to the slave's interface mac. This SYN packet is dropped by either 6500 or CSM, not quite sure.
2, The image on the 6500 is as below:

Airport Extreme (n-version) as base for extending with Airport Express(old)

I have a new Airport Extreme that I need to extend - meaning need an ethernet connection on the other side of the room, but I dont want to drag a wire across. I have an extra, and old, Express but I have spent the past couple of hours trying to get it to share/extend the network. Everything seems to configure properly (and I have tried all sorts of options - even setting up a WDS which doesnt seem to work), but when I plug in to the ethernet jack - and then this to my computer - it does not see anything. Help?

You'll need to check a few settings on the AirPort Extreme because you'll need the information to configure the AirPort Express correctly.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AirPort Extreme
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Jot down the exact name of your wireless network and the security setting that you have in place now. I assume that you already know your wireless network password.
Close AirPort Utility
"Hard reset" the AirPort Express (AX) by holding in the reset button on the AX until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly, keep holding the reset button when this occurs for another 4-5 seconds and then release
Connect the AX to one of the LAN <-> ports with the ethernet cable
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AX. You'll be prompted to Switch networks so that you can configure the AX
Click the Base Station tab (located under the row of icons) to name your AX, establish a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
Radio Mode = 802.11 b/g
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
Wireless Password = Same password as your AirPort Extreme network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon and check these main settings
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode0
Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored. The AX will restart in 30-40 seconds. Then restart your entire network by powering everything down. Wait a moment and start the modem first, then the AirPort Extreme, then the AirPort Express and your computers and devices.
If you decide to use the powerline adapter to allow the AX to be located wherever you want, the AX is already configured to so so.

Airport Extreme extended with Airport Express - extremely slow

I know this is not new. I have seen many discussions on this subject but no real answer.
My setup: ADSL modem connected to a AEBS (square, N compatible). Yesterday I got an older Airport Express (draft N) and extended the WiFi netowork.
I understand that this extension will reduce the speed but I didnt expect it to be that slow:
Download speeds:
- cable connection to the AEBS: >10 Mb/s
- wireless connection near the AEBS: 9.5 Mb/s
- wireless connection near the Airport Express: 0.2 Mb/s !!!
In the Airport Utility the Airport Express connection shows as GOOD.
Is it normal? Should I try to change configuration, channels, anything to improve this?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tonden

From my experience of setting up the Airport WiFi for family members and friends, I have learnt the following :-
1. Airport Express is not as good as Airport Extreme, for being as extender, the difference can be quite a lot.
2. There is always a dead cornor (bad reception) in a house
3. Even moving the Airport Extreme / AE a few inches, the performance can be improved quite significant
4. If possible, always choose 5G 802.11n than 2.4G, unless there are many thick walls.
My suggestion will be as follows :
1. Moving out the AEBS out of a closet, is a good idea
2. Always try to locate the AEBS in the centre of a area, instead of the two sides
3. Try to test the AEBS without an extender, and find the best location area (don't place on the floor, neither above 6 feet height)
4. After finding a best location, set the extender closer to the AEBS, and then moving apart from it (check the performance after every move), it is better that both devices can face each other.
5. I can't tell you the reason, and some people may not agree with me, the new 2013 Airport Exteme performance is better and may be is a good idea to replace your Airport Express, and use it to connect with your router, and old AEBS as an extender
6. Some Powerlinks (in case you can't use a wired ethernet connection between the two devices) work and some don't work with Apple Airport products, therefore, if possible, have an option to return them to the shop if they do not match
Good luck

Time Capsule Wireless Range Extended with AirPort Express

I recently was able to (finally) get my Time Capsule working with my previous 2WIRE modem/router (DSL through ATT). This took hours, but it was worth it! Time Capsule is now my primary router with it "bridged" with the 2WIRE device which is now only a modem. Back up is working fine with our three Apple laptops. However, the wireless signal is weaker than when it was set up with the 2WIRE alone. Our signal strength upstairs was weak making internet connection VERY slow and frustrating. I got an AirPort Express to see if I could use it to boost/extend the wireless signal from the Time Capsule unit. Set up was simple, and it is working great! I have it plugged into a wall outlet between the Time Capsule and the stairs leading upstairs. The wireless signal is now "full" everywhere in the house!

Wired Ethernet from the TC to the AirPort Extreme will result in much better performance. It sounds as if you are not configuring the AirPort Extreme correctly.
Please try the following steps carefully:
Unplug the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Exteme if it is not already unplugged. With the AirPort Extreme powered on, hold in the reset button on the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart
Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Extreme.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
The example below displays an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme.
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Exterme and click Next
Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
That's it. Pretty simple. Things should be working fine now.

HT4623 iOS7 is completely *****. Seriously ****** off with this heap of garbage they pass off as superior. Takes an age to download and now nothing will sync with it. What the **** is going on, Apple? I thought you were supposed to be the user friendly op

Update has now nbeen running for hours. Says only a minute left and has done for the last 45 minutes. Seriously crap. Then I try plugging into my £1,000 MacBook Pro: it tells me I can't sync as I need the 11.1 iTunes update on my phone. Hmmmm.
At this moment in time, I fecking loathe Apple's iOS7 update. It's created problems, not fixed them. What kind of research did they perform on this garbage? Any at all? Honestly, how the **** did it get this bad?
Mine is not an isolated incident either. Many, many of my frineds are MacHeads and they all report similar problems from slow upgrades to failed units. This is an extremely pathetic attempt, Apple.

Although i share your feelings and are not very happy with iOS 7 myself i think your should rethink how to express this anger. Since this is a user to user forum and apple will not directly read in here you can go to www.apple.com/feedback to tell them. If you lower the tone down a bit it is much more likely that your feedback will be considered.
Now bad feelings, though.

My IBM X220 does a better job accessing harddisks on apple extreme in wifi extended with apple express than my macbook Air

I have 2 harddisks connected to a Apple Extreme, and USB hub.
An apple express extends the wifi network. Both devices are located on 2 stages in the house.
I want to access the files on the HD from my Macbook Air downstairs. Maverick.
Totally impossible.
My IBM X220 does a far better job.
I Used 2,5 Ghz, 5Ghz. Different channels.
The router has a disabled wifi as the extreme takes care of it.
I'm at 4 meters from the express. This is ridiculous. If this is extending a network.
Any advise or tips on how to enable fluent audio access from my macbook air.
Thank you guys

I run in bridge off mode from the express.
So does the extreme.
Will changing to DHCP and / or NAT change anything ?

Outlook contacts how many will work with out slowing down the search

My new iphone will slow down or freeze when I look up a contach.
I have 8000 contacts, too many for the iphone to work?

Hello ofrills
The Samsung Rugby II unfortunately doesn't work on our network. It is set up to work only on AT&T's technology. The good news is we have several durable phones available. You can purchase a Verizon device and activate it on your line without a contract.
Here's an example: if your friend had a Verizon device that wasn't activated on a line. You could activate it under your telephone number without a contract extension. If you bought a Verizon device from a third party we could also activate it on your line for you.
Here's a link to our certified pre own device without a 2 year contract: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewAllPhones&deviceCategoryId=5
Please keep in mind signing a two year contract with us will greatly reduce the price of your new device. That time goes by very quickly. We have the best network and an awesome selection of phones!
Thank you

A mask on a layer with Button compo drops the label

Hi
I think its a bug , when i create a mask over a layer witch
contains a button component instance , the label of this button is
masked by the mask while the button it self is displayed fine .
any ideas ?
thanks
ps : it does the same with any text field (static or dynamic)
unless i embed the fonts and then its displayed fine .

It's under: Stuff that makes no sense... To clarify I
uploaded a quick example:
embedFont
First frame has a dynamic textfield, "HelveticaRounded Bold"
as font family (you can change that to whatever font you are using)
and 2 lines of code:
_global.style.setStyle("fontFamily" , "HelveticaRounded
Bold"); // change the HelveticaRounded Bold to the font embedded in
the first frame
_global.style.setStyle("embedFonts" , true);
The second frame has a button component masked.
Hope this helps.

My new Iphone 6 will pair with Range Rover but the phone will not work with bluetooth

Does anyone know if Apple is resolving this issue? The Range Rover service people don't know how to resolve this.

I Have the same issue. my phone worked until I updated to v8 software on iphone 5. Now it won't pick up contacts and I cannot make a hands free call while driving. My car dealer Taggerts of Motherwell have said the Range Rover software is not up to date and the phone won't work properly until it is.

Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

"You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
This is what I am trying to understand.
So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
Any thoughts?

XSU and CURSOR expression in the sql query

Platform: oracle 8.X on ibm aix and java client code from
windows NT.
JDBC DRIVER: JDBC Oracle thin driver version 1.2.
when i execute a Sql satement with Cursor expression from the
java client code with XSU it returns an XML DOM But if the
CURSOR EXPRESSION IN THE SQL QUERY RETURNS EMPTY ROWS i get
back an error node with "ORA-01001 Invalid Cursor" error
message.i had aslo set the setNullAttributes(true) property
on oraclexmlquery.
Interestingly, if i exceute the same query in the SQL plus
it returns the column names with no rows.
is there any way where i can get xml document with table
structure, when there are no rows instead of ORA error message.

Ok.
I assume that you have for one activity several asset PNR and for one asset several activity.
The factPNR is on this way a real bridge table. It's a way to be able to design a many-to-many relationship.
Have a look here for more detail on how to build a many-to-many relationship :
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dw/data_quality/relationships#many-to-many
Therefore I assume that you want this design :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < FactPNR >- DimPNR and you will have :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR How to build your bridge table ?
In the physical layer, :
* create a new table BridgeActivityPNR, open it and select "statement"
* enter your sql statement
SELECT DISTINCT A.ROW_WID ACTIVIDAD_WID, B.ROW_WID ASSET_WID
FROM W_ACTIVITY_F A,
W_ASSET_D B,
W_SRVREQ_D C,
X_S_CMPT_MTRC_F D,
X_S_ASSET_FEA_D E
WHERE A.X_SRA_SR_ID=C.INTEGRATION_ID AND
C.X_VLG_FLIGHT_ID=D.X_ROW_ID AND
D.X_ROW_ID=E.X_CM_ID AND
E.X_ASSET_ID=B.X_ROW_ID* add two columns in the column tab : ACTIVIDAD_WID and ASSET_WID
* create the physical join with the table FactActivity and DimPNR
* drag and drop in the business model your table BridgeActivityPNR
* in the BMM, create the complex join like this :
DimActivity -< FactActivity >- < BridgeTable >- DimPNR * open your logical bridge table and check the bridge table option.
And you are done if I didn't forget anything.
A complete example here :

Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between

I have an airport extreme and express setup. My extreme is in my 2nd floor office with windows facing the water. My dock is about 250 ft away down a very steep hill. I have the express about 100 ft down the hill in an electrical waterproof box attached to a tree as high as I could install. The signal is weak and I'm thinking I might have to buy another express. Any thoughts on the best setup for me. I ultimately want to control speakers(hard wired in) down at the dock with my iphone. I have a receiver coming with airplay built in.
Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between extreme and dock, no better. I unplugged the express between extreme and dock and there was no difference. So I believe I am connecting to the airport express or extreme that is inside the house. Again because when i approach express that is halfway I reconnect. so if you can understand my chaos, I believe the express in between is not really connecting to the extreme inside my house. Yes, No? So I need to know how to know if the express half way down the hill is getting the connection from the the extreme in the house. This is wearing me out!!!!!

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.
