Wired Connection Set Up

Just bought an Apple TV and want to set it up via a wired connection. I have my PC connected directly to my modem so do I have to also connect my ATV directly to my modem OR can I connect it to my PC. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be very much appreciated

You'd connect it to the modem via ethernet (or wifi).
If your PC had a spare ethernet port you could connect but would end up having to configure things like internet sharing, and the PC woudl need to be always on for internet access on AppleTV.
It's designed to run standalone with internet content or to play local media from iTunes when PC running.

Can i set up a wired connection in another room?

Hello BT community forums
I am a BT customer using the BT homehub 2.0 connected to my main phone line.
My question is: Downstairs I have the typical setup with my computer for wireless to my sons bedroom in the newly built extentions but the wireless connection is poor and disconnects often. This extentions bedroom has a phoneline in aswell with a fully working BT homephone, would I be able to set up a wired connection to the computer in the extention bedroom using this phoneline so we can have a wired connection to my sons computer?
If any other information is required please ask and I will provide.
Thank you for any help and advice provided.

No you can't use the phone line to provide an Ethernet connection to your Son's computer. Also, you can't have two Routers on the same Telephone Line. Some options are:
Move the BT HH to a position nearer your Son's room
Use a pair of Powerline Ethernet adapters to provide Ethernet connection ove your Mains wiring
Run an Ethernet Cat5 cable from the Router to your Son's room
Set up a Wireless "repeater" using WDS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System
Is there a good reason why the Wireless performance is so poor? How far is the computer from the Router and how many/ what construction are the intervening walls?
Is it possible that there is another Wireless signal interfering with yours? Have you tried changing Wireless Channel?

Wired connection doesn't work if cable is not plugged in at boot time

Hey all,
I started using arch a few days ago and I simply love it, but I have a problem. The wired connection doesn't work if the cable is not plugged in at boot time, or if it was plugged in at boot time, then plugged out and in again. Switching it off and on again via the gui has the same effect. I am using NetworkManager with dhcpcd, NetworkManager is started via systemd, dhcpcd is not, I let NetworkManager do that. When I started investigating this problem there were some remnants of netctl, but now NetworkManager is the only networking-related service started at boot time. When the cable is plugged back in, NM-applet shows that it's connected, and an IP address is assigned, but the connection doesn't work.
Here's some information regarding the system:
It's a lenovo G50-70 laptop, it uses the r8169 driver for ethernet. (I dualboot it with windows 8.1, but arch is default and all this stuff happens also if i only use arch)
The router is a Linksys EA2700/N600

Try to use dhclient perhaps? Might I also suggest letting systemd deal with the dhcp issue and not NM. That may seem incongruous but it is possible NM is mis-handling the dhcp hand-off to the network card. I'm no guru but I got thinking about this when I saw this in your output:

How do I disconnect from Wireless to use wired connection?

Hi - I'm new to this and I apologize if this question is ridiculously easy.
I am using a cable modem in which I have plugged my WRT160Nv2 wireless router. I am supporting three computers here in my home; my laptop (both wired and wireless), my daughters laptop (wireless only), and my desktop (wired only).
Everything works great and I have to give all the credit to CISCO and the excellent software which automatically solves every connection problem that comes up.
My laptop and desktop are connected to the wireless router via cable.
My question is strictly about my laptop. When I leave my office in the house and go into another room, I establish the wireless connection. Now I am back in my home office room, I want to use my wired connection. How do I do this? Do I need to disable my wireless connection so that my wired connection takes over? Again, I do have my laptop connected to the wireless router via cat5.
I want to do this strictly for the speed of the connection. I've read that a wired connection is double if not more in Mbps.
This laptop is running Win XP Pro, SP3.
I hope this furnishes enough info to assist in an answer.
Thanks in advance.
John
P.S.. I really do want to educate myself regarding the equipment I am using and not have to ask such basic questions. Are there any books or websites you can recommend that can start me out and go as technical as I choose to?

Windows by default uses the fastest connection possible. If you have a wireless and wired connection active at the same time it depends on how fast both connections are rated. Wireless connections tend to change depending on the distance. Wireless 802.11g goes up to 54 Mbit/s. Wireless 802.11n can go up to some 300 Mbit/s. Wired connections are usually either gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) or fastethernet (100 Mbit/s).
Thus, which is picked depends on your computer. You should check the connection status of both connections in the network connections control panel. It shows you the current wireless and wired speed (the latter won't change of course). Very often, the wired connection is preferred to the wireless connection. Now with 802.11n connections the wireless connection is preferred if your wired connection is only fastethernet.
As your WRT160Nv2 has only FastEthernet LAN ports you have to check how fast the wireless connection is. If you have a 802.11n wireless adapter in your laptop it may show up the wireless connection faster then 100 Mbit/s. Depending on the setting it may change occassionally between 54 Mbit/s and speeds higher then 100 Mbit/s which would lead Windows to swap connections. If you see that problem it is better to switch off the wireless in the laptop while you have a wired connection...
A wired connection is more reliable and stable then a wireless connection. With wireless you can have interference. Thus, even though a wired connection may be slower then a wireless one you may prefer to use the wired connection anyway. And some people prefer to turn off the wireless to avoid radiation.
To sum up: usually you don't have to switch off the wireless, unless you experience problems because of the mentioned changing speeds of the wireless connection. The computer will always only use one connection. Not both.

How can i get an xbox 360 to connect to my time capsule via WIRED connection?

I have a Time Capsule and i need to connect my xbox 360 to it because my stepdad has the network in this house set up crazily. He gets mad if i ask him to change anything because it is how he wants it and it works with EVERYTHING ELSE. I do not have a wireless adapter so i need to connect the xbox to my time capsule via a wired connection
Thanks =]

Here is what I would look into.
Use iCloud and photo stream to upload pictures taken with the iPad.
Find a remote log in utility, or web based app to then remote to your computer.
Download the files from photo stream to your time capsule.
As far as recommending a remote log in utility. I have not experience in that area and would need to do research my self.

No longer able to use Express to extend wired connection

I have an airport extreme base station connected to a cable modem.
I have for some time used an airport express to make a wired connection to my xbox in another room.
Something happened the other night and I had to reset both the extreme and the express and set them up again.
But now, my express will no longer allow a wired connection to the xbox or even another Mac.
Everything is up-to-date software and firmware-wise. The airport extreme base station is feeding all the wireless computers in my house just fine.
The wired (ethernet cable) from my airport extreme base station to a computer works just fine as well.
Airplay works on the Express.
This is my configuration:
[Cable-Modem]--------[Airport Extreme Base Station] ))))))))))))))))))) [Airport Express]---------xbox DOESN'T WORK
[Cable-Modem]--------[Airport Extreme Base Station] ))))))))))))))))))) [Computer] WORKS FINE
[Cable-Modem]--------[Airport Extreme Base Station] ))))))))))))))))))) [Airport Express]---------[Computer] DOESN'T WORK
[Cable-Modem]--------[Airport Extreme Base Station] ))))))))))))))))))) [Airport Express]---------Stereo via Airplay WORKS FINE
[Cable-Modem]--------[Airport Extreme Base Station]---------xbox WORKS but AEBS is not normally in the same room as xbox & TV.
Any thoughts on why this is suddenly not working?
I have the box checked for Allow this network to be extended on the AEBS Under the Wireless tab
The Express is set up to join the AEBS and it has a green light.
Thanks,
Paul

The sole reason for the AX is to get an internet connection to the xbox. It's too far away from the AEBS to run an ethernet cord.
What's screwy is that it all worked before. It's not like I am trying a new configuration.
I'm going to go back to step one on both the AEBS and AX one more time today. Make sure that I didn't miss a step.
BTW, I originally got the MSxbox wireless connector. After a few months use, it failed. I foolishly went ahead and got a second one. It lasted about 9 months. Piece of MS&$t!

Apple Airprint to HP Officejet 6500A Plus via Wired Connection to Router

Hi There,
So I've done a considerable amount of research into this across the internet and this forum and I'm still struggling to find a satisfactory solution.
I have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus connected by ethernet into my BT Homehub 3.
It is my understanding that even though this is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet over through the airprint facility.
Unfortunately this is not the case. I only get the "No Airprint Printers Found" message on both devices. The only way I have managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect was to mannualy add using the IP address for the printer.
Can anyone give any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong? The printer is definitely connecting to the internet as I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.
Some might say well what is the problem, just use the HP app but this is not point. I believe if something has been implemented to make things easier then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this functionality so it's a little frustrating to find it so difficult to achieve the desired results.
Hope it's something straightforward and someone can help.
Thanks,
Steve
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Further to this request, and reading many more similar issues, I think I may resolved this.
I am not 100% sure but I have read some threads suggesting there are issues around BT's Homehub 3 and bonjour so this may be an issue.
I have tried the following over the past couple of days...
1) Completely reset my router (wiped all settings and started again) - No luck!
2) Tried changing from WPA2 to just WPA security - No luck!
3) Tried forwarding the bonjour ports to the printer - No luck!
4) Switched off router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back router, printer and then iOS devices - Printer appears on iOS devices but when print was selected, iOS device repeatedly returned Printer Not Connected error.
Finally, what seems to have done it (at least for now) was...
1) Unplugged ethernet from the Officejet and set it up as Wireless connection.
2) Powered down router, printer and all iOS devices then powered back up in the order stated earlier.
3) So far I have tried printing an email and a web page from my iOS devices and both have been sucessful.
Incidentally I had been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone and iPad until I started messing around with settings above and now this issue also seems to be resolved.
Due to variety of combinations (different printers, routers etc) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution which addresses an individual problem however I hope some of my experimenting and findings might help others in some way.

Wired Connection problem on Officejet Pro 8500 a909a

I am having what seems to be to be a strange problem.
I have lost connectivity to my printer (Officejet Pro 8500 a909a) through the network from my Windows 7 64bit computer. I found that it worked fine if I connect throught he USB port. Today, I have been trying to get back to being able to use it through the network.
I am able to get to the configuration on the printer through the network, at http://192.168.0.105 and that works fine.
I have downloaded the most recent software and when I run it, it doesn't detect the printer, even if I enter the ip address in the advanced search box.
I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and when it runs, I can see the printer, however i'm not sure why it shows 2 lines:
When I choose the last line and press next, all it does is goes to this page:
Your help is appreciated.

What operating system does the computer use?
What happens when you choose the network-wired option on that last screen? Since the printer is already installed, the software thinks you are wanting to install the printer again and presents the last screen.
Your printer is listed twice with two separate IP addresses. I suspect the issue may be that the IP address is changing to frequently for the detection protocol to keep up with it.
If the printer is on the network and you can access it by entering the printer's IP address in a web browser, you can try setting a static IP address for the wired connection. Click on the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection document from HP. The document is for wireless connections, but the same steps can be applied for a wired connection by substituting wired for any section that designates going to the wireless section of the printer.

I recovered my back up via a wired connection. now Time Machine does not recognise older back ups wirelessly and wants to do a first back up

I recovered a back up from my time machine via a wired connection after getting the 'white screen of death'. Now Time Machine does not recognise any back ups on the time machine when connected wirelessly and wants to do a first back up of the whole machine. How do I get my mac to recognise these older back ups? It connects to the wifi network the time machine creates fine, with the same name and password.

I recommend the following.
1. Reset the TC to factory.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Rename the TC to SMB standard.
That means short names.. 2-20 characters but less than 10 is excellent. eg TCGenx (use number for x that is actual generation of the TC)
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.
3. Ensure IPv6 is set to link-local..
Do the same thing for ethernet if that is used.
4. Manually mount the TC disk in Finder.
Use Go in the top menu.. connect to server.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local (where TCname is your new short name for the TC and local is default domain .. it helps using the domain I found).
You will then find the computer either can or cannot find the network resource.. if it fails something else is wrong with the actual network and you will need to fix that.
It will request the password if it is found.. password is public by default unless you changed it.. type in the password and check to keep it in your keychain.
5. Delete current TM setup and redo it with the newly named TC.
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If your backups cannot be found, try B6 again, now that you actually know that the disk has been properly discovered.

Problem - keep getting an intermittent connection (wired connection)

For the last few months our internet connection has been completely intermittent. Some days it will work perfectly fine all day long, other days like today it will disconnect / reconnect every 30 seconds - 5 minutes. I tried doing Live Chat several times and most of the times I can't even get through their questions before my net disconnects. One time I did manage to let them take over control of my computer to "fix" the problems, and at that given moment it worked. But literally as soon as the person disconnected from my computer my net died again.
Part of our setup uses Vonage, which means if the internet does not work our phone doesn't work. I hardly think Vonage is the problem because it works perfectly fine other days. Same goes with the Verizon people saying gaming can effect it which shouldn't be a problem either. I've tried to use my cell to call them but as soon as I go downstairs to mess with the modem / router my phone loses service.
It seems like this is a day to day problem. Last night my internet was perfectly fine, today it keeps disconnecting. Power cycles fix the problem for a few seconds to a few minutes, and letting it reset itself does the same thing. As i'm typing this post my internet has disconnected several times. I can't seem to figure out the problem and need some advice.

SNR Margin (Downstream/Upstream):23/12
Attenuation (Downstream/Upstream):18/12
I think those are the numbers you are talking about. At this moment in time my internet is working fine today, but that doesn't mean by later today/tonight or tomorrow it will be acting the same. Since it's an ongoing problem I'd like to try and fix whatever may be causing it anyway.
I'll have to figure out how exactly our lines are configured before describing them, but i'll try and give you the entire setup of our network at least. So here it goes:
Our setup is in the basement:
Modem/Router - Actiontec GT704WG
No filter coming from main phone line to modem (Is this supposed to be filtered?)
Ethernet 1 -> Vonage -> Motorola VT2542-VD
-Phone line from Vonage goes to "Multi-line" box (I'm not sure if it is a filter itself..)
-From the multi-line 2 separate phone lines coming off with filters
-Those 2 connect into 2 possible filters, that connect into spiltters for the lines through the house.
House Phones:
-1st Floor - Kitchen phone is a regular phone (no filter)
-1st Floor - Living room has a 5.8GHz portable (no filter)
-1st Floor - Sun room has a portable set from the 5.8GHz
-2nd Floor - My room has a portable set from the 5.8GHz
-2nd Floor - Office has a regular phone (no filter)
-2nd Floor - Bedroom has 2 regular phones (no filters)
(I'm guessing the house phones don't need filters directly because they are already filtered?)
Ethernet 2 - My room, connection goes into a Linksys 10/100 5-port workgroup switch (model: EZXS55W). PS3, 360, and PC all wired connections to the switch.
Ethernet 3 - Brother's room, connection goes to his laptop (he doesn't use it wirelessly much in the house)
Ethernet 4 - Office room, connection goes to laptop (not used wirelessly either.)
Besides having an extremely complicated set of lines, I was wondering if the length of ALL the Ethernet and Phone lines matter? Also I read in the other topic that if they don't have Xbox / Playstation they should disable UPnP, and since I do, should i actually ENABLE it? I know that's un-related to my problem but if it makes online gaming connections better i'll do it. I used to have Static IP's for my PS3 / 360 / PC and "rules" setup that supposedly opened the Ports to make them better online but I didn't really notice any increased speeds when downloading off them or playing online.
If I need to provide more info please let me know. Or what should be the next step I take....

[Solved] Wired connection ok but wireless problem on Intel 5100

Here is how i solved the problem :
1 - get back to the wiki doing everything in order
2 - added dbus in attition to hal in the deamon line in rc.conf
3 - put wicd at the end of the deamon line
4 - then configured wicd for my wireless network at boot : no more dbus error, and connection perfectly ok
Thx very much for the superb wiki, certainly my fault if i messed up but i still have to learn
Hi
I've got a problem with the wireless connection on my toshiba R10
my wired connection is working flawlessly but i can't use my wifi card. I'm using arch 2009.8 i686
Here is what i've done following the wiki :
1 : installed ifplugd for the RJ45 connection + added the deamon on my rc.conf
2 : installed wireless-tools
3 : installed the driver intel 5100
# pacman -S iwlwifi-5000-ucode
set up my mod_autolog yes
here is my ifconfig -a
[me@arch ~]$ ifconfig -a

I have to say that I'm quite lost here, i hope someone will have an idea
thank you very much

Stab in the dark...the hal daemon should start dbus, but sometimes I've been encouraged to add the dbus DAEMON explicitly (before hal).
I don't really understand dbus too intimately, but I've come across situations where although dbus is running, I can't talk to it because the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_{ADDRESS,PID,WINDOWID} variables weren't visible in the environment I was working in. For instance, if dbus is started by xinitrc, and then some system-level daemon tries to talk to dbus, usually it fails for me, and I have to use some workaround.
Now I would expect wicd to be set up so that the ordinary user doesn't encounter any problems of this sort. On the other hand, the error you're getting does say that it's dbus communication which is failing. Perhaps you could try shutting down hald and dbus, open a terminal, su -, /etc/rc.d/dbus start, and then try from that command line to tell wicd to connect?

Itunes to sony bravia via hard wired connection

I have my pc connected to my sony bravia (hard wired) I want to see my itunes library - any ideas?

Try loading a utility into your laptop or notebook to do a wireless survey. Your new area may have multitudes of wireless going on. You can also check the signal level at the TV location.
Then try and set everything manually.. use a fixed channel (the least used one from your survey) for 2.4ghz and start with no security.. briefly as a test. If it still cannot connect set the speed down to a -b/g as it is far more compatible and see if that works.
Try a different ssid/wireless name. Sometimes a different name will force a new setup and get things working. Also you can check the log and see if there are any error messages in relation to the connection.

Wrt54g, no wired connection, vista? update goblin?

Hi, I have linksys router WRT54G version 6.....its wired into my desktop and i have a wireless link to my laptop, and even though I got a new computer with windows vista home premiun a week ago, its been working fine for that week......until today,nov 14, when windows did an automatic update and install and automatically restarted my computer. since then the router doesn't work for my wired connection to my desktop, it links up with the network but not the internet....i havent' checked my laptop yet, probably the same.....I disconnected from my router and hooked directly into my modem to scour the internet for help...its all a blur but i did a hard reset on my router, thinking , i'll just reset it from scratch....my installation disk asks me for a password at the last second for some reason, don't remember that the first time, don't know what it could be either, i tried admin and left if blank,nothing, just kept restarting the installation. can't get to http://192.168.1.1/. either...... any ideas? thanks

Connect the computer to the router using Ethernet cable ..... check the LAN IP ...... if getting any valid Ip in the range of 192.168.1.1 ....try to ping the gateway address
If geting any reply try opening set up page of rotuer .....
If you are not getting any valid Ip .....do power cycle for 1 minute ....then once again check the Ip ....
If still it is showing invalid Ip ...... unplug the modem from router ...leave the computer connected to router & reset the rotuer for 20-30 seconds ......
While holding the reset unplug the power cable ...wait for 10 seconds ...plug back the power cable & release the reset ....
Now once again check if getting any valid LAN ip address .....

Actiontec MI424WR dropping wireless connection intermittently; wired connection works

I've had this router for about two years, with no issues.
Beginning on Saturday, our two laptops and phones began losing their connection to our wireless network, dropping the signal every 30 seconds or so. I tested the wired connection by plugging the laptops directly into the router, and both computers functioned properly - no issues connecting or staying connected. I have my Roku hard-wired to the router, and that also has had no issue, so it'd definitely a problem with the wireless signal to my devices.
Spoke to a CS rep, who had me first check the internet signal (green, blinking sporadically, which I was told indicated no issue with the connection), then had me reset the router and unplug. No dice. She said the internet signal seemed fine, and that "everything looked good on her end", whatever that means. They're sending a new router which I'll receive today or tomorrow, but I have trepidation.
Has anyone else had this issue? I saw alot of router issues on the forums, but wasn't sure if everyone was having this specific problem (just wireless connect issues).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This turns out to be good advice. I changed the channel on my router settings to 11 (per an earlier post on a different thread), and I haven't had an issue since. Here's the original post: "01-21-2011 11:32 AM that type of problem doesn't sound like a router issue, but instead sounds like a wireless transmission issue. you may be able to resolve that fairly easily.. Try to change the wireless signal. you can do that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1, user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login successfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try. So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply., after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work."

Qos - giving wired connections priority over wireless connections

I have a WRT54G with revised firmware. I have one wireless connection and one wired connection. I'd like to set it up so that the wired connection uses the majority of the bandwidth. This way the resource intensive programs I use for work (CAD, GIS, etc accessing files remotely) will be guaranteed to have available more bandwith than my daughter on her laptop using IM, web cam and WOW-type game play. I don't mind her using these programs, but I have to make my work a priority.
It seems that I can shape traffic if each were a WIRED connection and also that the single QoS option for wireless will enhance WiFi MultiMedia. How can I assign a preference to the WIRED connection and provide a smaller but usable portion of bandwith to the wireless connection?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input, although I still am a bit lost. I apologize if my questions appear repetitive.

Make the Upstream Bandwidth service "manual" with the Kbps speed you want to dedicate to that application........

What do you mean by "dedicate to that application?" Do you mean the apps I am trying to give bandwidth priority too? If so, how much of the 512 kbs upstream bandwidth do I enter here? How does this affect the wireless connections?
You wrote:
==========
You can provide priority to Devcie with MAC address & also the Etherent Port on four ports with different priority .....
Use application name also .....
=============
Won't these only apply to the different ethernet ports and wired MAC addresses? I am trying to limit bandwith to the wireless side...
You wrote:
==========
Under Wireless QoS .... enable the service

Won't this provide the wireless connection with more efficient throughput? How will this help me in limiting the bandwith allocated to the wireless connection?
Thanks for your reply.
