Before you splash out on a new keyboard/mouse, you may find the issues you have with your present one are possible to resolve with a small amount of jiggling locations. For example, if you can move the location of the cordless receiver, you will likely find a position where the signal it picks up is better.
Other than that, due to the frequencies in use and the limitations in power, there is little to choose between different brands and models of cordless keyboards and mice in terms of effective range, and while it may be that the Kensington model you link to is recommended by many, the only way to know if it will help in your situation, with whatever range and potential interference issues you have, is really by trying it yourself.

  • New Kensington Pilotboard wireless desktop - numerous issues Anyone else??

    I just got a G4 500 AGP and also picked up a new Kensington Pilot Board wireless desktop on sale at Compxxx and it has given me fits and was wondering if anyone else had similar issues??
    Here is what I have going on :
    1) Random keys not responding at all mostly towards right side of keyboard
    2) MASSIVE system slowdown which seemed to go away after going back to a generic keyboard/mouse that are wired
    3) Horrible lag when typing and I am not a fast typer by ANY standards
    I put 2 new and fresh sets of batteries in both keyboard and mouse and re-synched about 10 times and restarted several times and un-installed and re-installed software as well with same problems persisting. Is this just a junk product or did I get a lemon??

    Tim, welcome, I have the same keyboard and it work just fine. And yes, new batteries really make a huge difference. Try Repairing Permissions and see if that solves the issue. Also if the USB cable is plug into a PCI card move it to one of the computer outlets and try moving the censor to a new location.
    The tracking speed of the mouse can be adjusted but this should not effect the OS performance at all.

  • Wireless Printing set up

    Hi,
    My printer is no longer on my network because we've upgraded the Modem, etc.  When I was ready to reconnect it to the network in order to print wirelessly the SET UP ASSITANT is showing on the bottom of the screen as an interrogation mark icon.  Was it deleted? what happened? and how do I get it back so to get my printer working again?
    Thank you
    Monica

    Hello @MGTess!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to provide some assistance regarding your HP Photosmart C4380 and wireless printing on the Mac.  If you have upgraded the modem then you will want to ensure the printer is reconnected to the Wi-Fi.  
    To reconnect the printer to the Wi-Fi you must run the HP software.  You are not going to be able to do this on your Mac computer running 10.10 operating system.  there is no HP software available for the Photosmart C4380.  in order to get your printer back on the network you will need to use a Mac running 10.6 or lower or use a computer running Windows.  If you do not have them available you should be able to use the printer with the USB cable for now.
    when you have a computer available with a computable operating system version run the HP Software and when prompted by the software plug in the USB cable. the computer will configure the printer Wi-Fi and the software will then ask you to remove the USB cable.  Follow the on screen instructions to finish the setup.  Once the printer is back on the network  go back onto the Mac and add the printer by following these steps: Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
    Please post back and let me know if it worked for you!

  • Need network security settings for wireless printer set-up

    I have an older airpot extreme base station. I'm trying to set-up my wireless brother printer and it says that I need the following network information:
    SSID- I know this one
    Authentication Method (open system/shared key/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
    Encription Mode (None/WEP/TKIP/AES/CKIP)
    Encryption Key (WEP key/Passphrase)
    From what I've found, I believe that I should be using WPA-PSK and TKIP, but what is that passphrase that I'm supposed to use or where can I find out that information?

    I am also trying to set up a wireless printer set up. I have an Airport Extreme and a new Brother wireless printer. Sounds perfect, right? Well, I am so confused right now. I bought an Airport Extreme while overseas a bunch of years ago and am now using it in the States. I have no memory of any info such as what is being asked from me to set up wireless printing. I don't remember the wireless security password, authenication method, or either of the Encryption thingies. I don't know where to find this information, whether it be on my computer somewhere or online. Please advise. Plus I don't use any security settings as I live pretty far from other humans in my neighborhood. Does that matter in the big picture?
    Please help a girl out!

  • How to change desktop setting on a Mac?

    When attempting to download latest version of Firefox, a window pops up to say I need to change the desktop setting. I don't know how to do this. Thanks

    You can change your password by restarting and holding the Command and R keys so you restart on the Recovery Hard Drive.  Then select the Utilities drop down from the menu bar, and Terminal.  When Terminal opens, type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.
    When the Reset Password window opens, select the hard drive, highlight the user name, and type a new password twice.  Do not enter a Hint.  Select Save, and accept the next window that opens.  At the bottom of the Reset Password window, Reset the home directory permissions, quit the Reset Password, and click the apple left side of the menu bar and Restart.

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

  • Wireless Desktop not detecting E2000

    I recently upgraded from an old WRT54G2 router to a E2000, and while it's solved a few problems, it's also caused a few. My wireless desktop will not pick up the E2000. It picks up signals around it so I know the wireless card is working, and our new laptop also picks up the network without a problem. When I try to connect to a network, our SSID just will not show up on the desktop as it does on the laptop. Does anyone know why? It worked amazingly until I upgraded the router.

    Try changing the SSID on your E2000 router, dont use the default. Also try using different channels on your router and see which channel suits your network environment - a chnnel that your desktop detects. how far is this computer from the router, btw?

  • HP Wireless Desktop C6400

    Hello,
    I buyed a HP Wireless Desktop C6400 thinking it included a standard windows keyboard.
    It is almost good, but there are no F1-F12 Key.
    Is there a ways to solve that ?
    A new or customizable firmware ?
    A trick to emulate these keys on Windows (7)?
    I would to keep that keyboard, so any help would be welcome !
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi @3Pi , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are unable to get F key functionality from your keyboard.
    You may be able to hold down the Fn key in the bottom left, and then press the action keys at the top to get F key functions. The magnifying glass should start F1.
    Let me know if that works.

  • I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

    I am replacing my iMac with a Windows 7 OS Wireless Desktop. What storage capabilities will the TC provide?

    You are a brave man posting that sort of info around here.
    The TC is still a good router with storage ability you can use on Win7. It is slow and more suited to the wireless backup for laptops, which is what it was ideal for. So if you don't yet own a TC, don't buy one.
    You can do as well with a USB hard drive on a router. But if  you already have it, it is usable, albeit slow.

  • "All Desktops" setting gets lost

    Has anyone else had a problem with the "All Desktops" setting in the Dock/Spaces in Lion? When I restart my computer (a 2010-vintage MacBook Pro; OS X 10.7.1), the All Desktops setting seems to become lost. Specifically: "All Desktops" is still selected in the Options submenu you get by right-clicking the app in the Dock, but the application shows up only in desktop 1. Selecting "This desktop" and then reselecting "All desktops" makes the application visible everywhere once again, until the next restart.
    A minor nuisance, but a nuisance nontheless.
    The 10.7.1 update didin't fix the problem.
    Has anyone (a) seen this problem; (b) figured out its cause; (c)_ stumbled across a fix?

    Although there appear to be many here who would love to have the power to adjust the OS software, we are all just users like you.  Send your observation here:

  • New Intel Wireless Pro set let bypass PEAP user authentication

    Hello.
    I have a critical situation. We use PEAP/MSCHAPv2 for client and user authentication. Wireless users and clients will be authenticated by the ACS by asking a ADS usergroup membership. Valid users and clients have access to LAN ressources protected by the wlan controller. If the wireless client use the WZC and the logged on user is not a member of the user group he will not be authenticated and have no access through the wlan controller. But if the wireless client can use the actual "Intel Wireless Pro Set" and the user is not a member of the ADS group the ACS drop the user authentication request. But some seconds later the user will have nevertheless access to internal resources.
    In this case I think the user authentication request will not right handled by the ACS so authenticated client will have access through the wlan controller and a not ACS authenticated user will have access to lan ressources by his local cached user credentials.
    Is there a possible security leak or have I a configuration problem?
    Best regards
    Olaf Bachmann

    Hi irisrios.
    PEAP "Fast Reconect" is disabled on ACS side.
    But in the meantime we made some tests with cisco ACS and nortel wlan controller. If the wlan client use a wireless profile, generated with the Intel Proset (!! full installation incl. andmin tools and pre-logon authentication!!) then a user who is not a member of the wlan user group have access to lan resources.

  • Best wireless channel setting for desktop PC, PC l...

Appearently channel 1 and 11 are recommended channels, but still not working. Network interface setting 802.11 b/g/n. Now given up all manual channel setting, back to automatic setting. Now my desktop PC currently without wireless network - back to sqaure one !!!

    Hi
    Thanks for all your advice. As it is currently set to auto, when I checked this morning, it is set on Channel 6 (spot on!). My desktop PC wireless connection icon is showing "X" with no bars (like mobile signal) - meaning no connection, but when I check the browser and Outlook, everything seem to be working fine. All my i devices all working fine so far as well. 
    It seem be a happy ending for this! BT wanted to charge £30 for checking the devices!!! 
    Great community! Thanks! 

  • Slow connection on my desktop with a wireless router set up.

    I don't know anything about this, but my desktop has been really slow. I have a Wireless G- Broadband Router and it is a WRK54G model. I have Frontier DSL as my internet. Lately my internet has been really slow, takes a lot of time to load up images and websites and going to check my mail. Anyone know what's wrong? I set up a WEP password also. That's all I know how to do. I have like 4-5 family members using the wireless, but before my desktop still ran fast, just started being slow a couple of days ago.

    Check the connection first from the Modem itself ..... if getting disconnected .... have a word with the Internet Service Provder ....
    If not then router need reconfiguration ....
