Wireless Equipment for 1 or 2 Km.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect two places for my customer, the distance is 1 or 2Km.
What model of wireless equipment I can use for this link ?.
We'll have, VoIP, Video and data.
Do you have any recommendation ?.
Thank you.

First, you can probably use 1242 APs with patch antennas, but if the distance is more than 1km, it will probably not work.
Next is a 1300 series with an integrated antenna. Before selecting this bridge, I would suggest you make sure that there is little or no interference in the 2.4 GHz range at both of your locations (Has only G radio). AIR-BR1310G-A-K9 part number.
Last and best, are the 1400 series with an integrated antenna, we have had no issues with those running at 8 miles. (54mbps 28dBi dish). AIR-BR1410A-A-K9 part number. This is a 5.8 GHz bridge.
For either 1300 or 1400, make sure to order proper length power injector cables and any other accessories:

Do i have the right equipment for CCNA-Wireless?

Hello community i am Adan Ramirez, an aspiring Cisco Tech, and I'm trying to get the right equipment for the ccna wireless.
Here is my shopping list:
1. 2 Cisco LWAP 1252
3. NME-WLC6-K9 module card
Here is what i already have at home:
1. 1841(2x) - iOS 12.4(24)
2. 2811(2x) - iOS 15.something something...
3. 3560 - iOS 15.something something
4. 2960 - iOS 15.something something
Problem: I don't know if the NME needs the latest iOS, the one i saw on eBay says it's version 4.2 something something. I don't have three thousand dollars to buy a brand new module with iOS 7.0 or $ 12,000 to buy a 5500 WLC. I'm a broke college student T_T, help!
and thanks!

Hi,
This is sufficient for your CCNA wireless studies. Probably I would add a VM which can run WCS.
If you really need a WLC, you can buy 4400 series controller (can run upto 7.0.x) for ~200-300 USD. This is the version tested in CCIEv2.0 lab exam as well.
This is the Cisco forum you should follow for this CCNA-Wireless studies

Wireless equipment and setup for Mac Book Pros

I've recently bought a Mac Book Pro after having used PC's since the 80's. Like it so much, I ordered a second machine for my wife.
Question: Using my Linksys wireless router used originally with our PC's, I've made several attempts to wireless network the two Macs using our same DSL connection but have failed each time.
Can someone tell me what I need in terms of equipment and also where to find the instructions to set up both Macs via the wireless mode.
Apparently, I'm clueless.
Thank you.
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Your Macs should work with the same wireless equipment as your Windows PCs.
But, in my experience, there have been some problems with some versions of OS X and some versions wireless router firmware - specifically in the area of WPA wireless security.
The first thing I would try is reconfiguring the Linksys to run an open network, with no security. If the MacBook Pro is able to connect correctly, reconfigure the Linksys with a new SSID (wireless network name) and enable WEP security. If that works correctly, reconfigure the Linksys with a new SSID and WPA2 security.
I suggest using different SSID's for these tests because the Mac saves information about the wireless connections based on the SSID; using different SSID's for the different security settings reduces the chance the Mac will get confused by the security changes.

I want to exchange all my equipment for the newest model available.

I've been a steady customer since Feb. 2008. I want to exchange all of my equipment for the latest model available. How do I go about that?

It's my understanding that I'm a grandfathered "original" customer, whatever that means. My answers might be different from what you'll get.
If you have Motorola 1200, 1215 (DVR) or 1225 (DVR) boxes, I agree. These boxes are obsolete and slow. They'll still get updates, but it's like trying to run Windows 8.1 on something that was purchased with Windows XP on it... it may work, but it'll take a long time to do a very simple task. A few years ago, when the update was pushed out to AT&T boxes that introduced the spinning circle in the lower right corner and "poster view" for movies, those boxes I mentioned basically started running very slowly.
It's my understanding those boxes are obsolete and are being junked when they're returned to AT&T.
AT&T has two types of modern non-DVR boxes... wireless and wired. I had a tech come out and he was able to waive the $49 fee to get one wireless box. If you call AT&T and let them know your boxes "broke" because of an update they pushed out, and if you're nice and polite, you should be able to get them to waive the $49 fee... actually, you may have to pay it, but your next bill will get a $49 credit...that's what they did in my case.
I don't think that was 100% free as my taxes and fees were *a bit* higher on one bill and I don't know if they were that much lower on the next bill...but whatever.
When I added a second wireless box, I had it shipped via UPS and installed it myself. I was able to get them to credit the $49 fee off the next bill. Once again, I paid $49 on one bill and my next bill had the $49 credit.
Now...if you want the newer wired boxes, there shouldn't be any sort of fee. Like I said before, it was AT&T that pushed out newer software. IMO, a customer shouldn't pay when AT&T's update "breaks" a customer's equipment.
As for the DVR, yes, you will lose recordings. What you *can* do is either buy a Slingbox and put the DVR and Slingbox by theirselves or just put the DVR on a TV you don't watch a whole lot.
My silver remotes still work absolutely fine. If you want a newer "basic" remote, keep in mind that some buttons have changed. Those should be free, at least they are when mine stop working and I know for a fact they have new batteries.

Equipment for legal videography?

Need advice on equipment for legal videography. A camera that shoots HD and records onto an SD card has been recommended. I'll also need DVR recorder (I believe) and mics.
Anyone with experience in this field have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Terry D

What is legally required for depositions can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but the basics are:
Wireless lav mics: Have at least 4 or 5 systems available. One for the witness and one for each attorney. There will be times that a third (or fourth) attorney will be present so it helps to have extras.
Audio mixer: With that many mics, you'll need an outboard audio mixer. The output from the mixer then goes to the camera. I also recommend using a compressor/limiter.
Headphones: Use good quality headphones for monitoring the audio you're recording.
DVD recorder: In most instances, the deposition will be shown with absolutely no editing - even when objections are raised during the deposition. And many judges won't allow an edited copy to even be presented in open court. So you'll need to have an "original" recording available. Note that even today, some courts still only have VHS players so ask before each deposition what their needed delivery method will be. If it is VHS, have a VHS VCR ready to go.
Tripod: A good, steady tripod is a must!
Camera: I'd recommend a tape-based camera so the other original recording (other than the DVD or VHS) can be easily archived. Some cases can drag on for months (or even years) so you really need to have an original recording available - sometimes (but not often) a certified, unedited copy will suffice. Of course, sometimes the judge will allow certain parts of a deposition to be edited, especially when an attorney makes an objection. Since the case may not go to court for months, keeping the needed SD cards would be costly - on the other hand, tape is cheap.
The camera must also have the ability to record date/time in the recording - not just as metadata. Check the jurisdiction in which you'll be working to see if they have other legal requirements. And even though you may be recording the deposition locally, the actual trial may be held in another state. So you'll need to know the specific legal requirements for the jurisdiction where the trial is being held - not necessarily where the deposition takes place.
I highly recommend that if the client that hires you is representing the plaintiff, get your money up front. Plaintiff's attorneys are notorious for not wanting to pay until the case is settled or heard. They often don't get paid unless they win, so there's a darned good chance they won't want to pay you until they get paid. And as I said above, that could be months or years away.
The reasoning behind recording two originals at the same time is that when the deposition is over, you can hand one (the DVD or VHS) to the attorney that is paying you. You keep the other in the event that editing is needed or certified copies are requested by opposing council.

Good Wireless Router for iMac

I just ordered my first Mac, an 20" iMac G5. Now I need a good wireless router for it. I looked at the Airport Extreme Base Station, but it sure is pricey. Any suggestions on some more reasonably priced wireless routers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Clayton,
Although a bit pricey, the next router I buy will be the "AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes". It is a full featured router that is certainly compatable with any other AirPort equiped Mac -- including WPA excryption. That router has the added Apple AirTunes feature that you will not find on any other router.
If you want to go the cheaper route (no pun intended) then I have had good luck setting up friends with several different models of both DLink and Linksys routers including my current DLink DI-624. I have had nothing but success connecting several Apple PowerBooks with old and new versions of AirPort cards to several different makes/models of these routers and can't say I have ever had difficulties.
One thing to watch when using WPA is that you choose exactly the same settings on both the Mac and the router such as "WPA-Personal" using "TKIP". Note that some routers such as Linksys may call the same settings "WPA-PSK" and preselect "AES" instead of "TKIP". As long as all of your protocols match and your network name and preshared key match then everything should work as expected.
Also, when choosing a model don't be fooled into paying for any of the "Xtreme", "Speedbooster", "SRX", "pre-n", or "MIMO" routers. Unless you have special needs the vast majority of home users simply need a basic 802.11g router.
The one last bit of advice I have is to NOT install the software that comes with home wireless routers (except for Apples'). Instead, simply use your web browser to connect to the routers IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and then use the built-in web configuration to make all needed settings including the minimum: 1) changing default password, 2) turn off SSID broadcast, 3) set up wireless network name and WPA encryption, and 4) turn on NAT firewall.
Best of luck,
Tim

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. Can anybody help?

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine. Can anybody help?

Just tested something and it worked.
If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
It's probably this crappy headphones.
If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

My Time Capsule has stopped backing up. I have an Apple Time Capsule which backs up by wireless. For the last 3 days it has not backed up. I get this message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.

I have gone into Mac Help and followed this down to stage 4:
under shared it lists my time capsule and my husband's iMac - both use the time machine but we have switched his off temporarily. Clicking on my Time capsule I get "Connected" and "Sharepoint" - I didn't have to enter connect or password
I don't understand stage 5: how and where do I select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups ? How do I know which it is? My disk utility lists 160.04 TOSHIBA MK... with sub-heading Macintosh HD. It also lists (with a "CD" icon) HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS22N
Under stage 6, how and where do I Locate your backup ? I try dragging my Time capsule from Finder to the Disk Utility side panel but it won't go. What is my computer's name?
Please someone help! I'm completely stumped.
Thanks,

Mac Help says:
If you back up to a Time Capsule or network disk:
Open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and slide the switch to Off.
Open Time Machine preferences
Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open Disk Utility
Make sure the Time Capsule or network disk is turned on and available.
Open a Finder window, select your Time Capsule or network disk in the Shared section of the sidebar, and click Connect. If necessary, enter your user name and password.
On the Time Capsule or network disk, select the disk or volume that contains Time Machine backups. Depending on how your Time Capsule is set up, there may be one or more disks or volumes.
Locate your backup, and drag it to the Disk Utility sidebar.You can identify your backup by looking for your computer’s name in the backup’s filename.

Using the Mac as a wireless Bridge for the Xbox 360

Want to use your Mac essentially as a wireless adapter for an Xbox 360 or any console? plug in the ethernet cable between the two devices and follow the setup process!
Wireless Bridge setup process
1. Open system Preferences.
2. Clisk sharing, then the internet tab and select Airport as the “share your connection from” then select the Built-in Ethernet in the list.
3. Open up the terminal Application and type ifconfig en0 in the window it sohuld display an outcome like this
ifconfig en0
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
ether 00:16:cb:cc:80:aa
media: autoselect status: inactive
supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none
4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
So For the Average setup you will use:
IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

How do I use Airport Extreme to act as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro?

Hello -
I'm trying to use an Airport Extreme (1st Generation) as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro but I can't figure out how. My main modem / wireless router (non-Apple) is upstairs. My Mac Pro is down stairs. I'm looking to get internet connection for that Mac Pro downstairs. Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
Thanks for the help.
Nathan

Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
Unfortunately, Apple designed their routers to work with other Apple routers. It would be extremely unilikely that the AirPort Exteme could be configured to work with a router from another manufacturer.
The AirPort Extreme would need to be configured to "Extend a wireless network", but an error message is almost surely to occur when you try this.
There are other alternatives, but they would involve more hardware. Post back if you are interested.

HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection??? Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

Hey @matt4,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
What's my Model Number?
I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
1. Turn your printer on
2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
Click Print & Scan.
Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
Click HTMLConfig.
Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the () plus sign and select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

Welcome to the HP Forums dcfrk,
I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network.
I can help you with this.
If the issue is that the HTML won't load, please follow these steps for 10.8 or lower:
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Close out all applications.
You can access the HTML from this location:
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, Mac Harddrive, library, printers, HP,Laserjet, P1100_P1560_P1600Series, open HTML config.

arrow button to move the network name over to the left side, fill in passwords, apply.
You should get a solid blue wireless light in about 1 minute.
Then go to the Apple, system preferences, print & scan, highlight the P1102w and click the minus at bottom left
corner to delete it, then disconnect USB cable, click the plus sign in bottom left corner and highlight the P1102w bonjour printer, beside Use: make sure it shows the proper printer name and not Airprint, (Airprint is a preinstalled Apple driver with basic functionality) click on the add button. You might have to click on the drop down to select your printer.
Test the printer.

Where can I find a wireless card for my early 2009 Mac Pro (MB871LL/A, MacPro4,1)?

Where on on earth can I purchase a wireless card for my Mac Pro?
Apple is of no help. Their "Geniuses" told me that it is impossible for them sell one to me because Apple will not supply wireless cards or memory for previous generation computers. That is totally absurd. If I want to get a wireless card for my 2 year young computer I can't? I have to buy a brand new computer with one previously installed. Ridiculous!
Any help or suggestions would be of great value to me.

Well I found what I think is the correct card on B&H.
Hopefully it works....

Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.
