Airport Extreme to extend wireless – How best to set this up?

I added an Airport Extreme to my ISP Service provider box in order to extend my home / home office networking capabilities. Currently I have a MBP (May 2010 model) with ethernet & wireless; a PBG4 (Feb 2005 model) with ethernet & wireless; an eMac (Feb 2005 model) with JUST ethernet; and an iPad3 (March 2012) with of course just wireless. But I am not certain that I have set this up optimally. Here's what I have done and if anyone could comment on this it would be greatly appreciated!
I have my ISP's modem "B-box" (which has 2 ethernet ports OUT plus its own Wireless) which I have used the past year. The problem is range for wireless and extending ethernet (via cable) to the 3 levels of the house. So I added an Airport Extreme to solve that issue and believe I am almost there! The house has 3 levels and I will call them Level A (basement, underground); Level B (ground floor) and Level C (upstairs). Without Airport Extreme it is possible to get wireless on on 3 levels, but it drops-out often in my main, office (Level-A) location so that was the incentive to get good wireless everywhere using the Airport Extreme.
Here's my setup today:
ISP "B-box" (as it is called) located on Level B and emits a wireless signal and I have called that SteveBelWiFi     ---There is an ethernet cable that goes down to Level A.
On Level A I have my home office with a MacBook Pro-13" (May 2010) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The Ethernet cable from the B-box arrives in my office and is plugged into the WAN port of my new Airport Extreme.
From this Airport extreme I have the following setup: (there are 3 ethernet out ports on the Airport Extreme - 5th generation - most recent model)
Ethernet cable #1 plugged into my MBP
Ethernet cable #2 running to Level C where it is plugged into an eMac (Feb 2005)
A USB cable going from the USB Out port on the Apple Extreme to an unpowered USB hub
From the hub, one USB cable to my Canon MP640 Printer/Scanner*
From the hub, one USB cable to a 300 mb LaCie external Hard Drive
Ethernet cable #3 plugged into the ethernet port of my Canon MP630 Printer/Scanner *(Needed because when one attaches a printer/scanner to the Airport Extreme via USB it can only print, not scan, so I configured the scanner portion of the MP640 to run via ethernet…)
WIRELESS: I used Airport Utility to CREATE A WIRELESS NETWORK (not "extend a wireless network") and so I now have these 2 additional wireless network choices for my Macs or iPad: Steve Airport WiFi     and also via the Airport Extreme:   Steve Airport WiFi 5GHz
What I would prefer is to have ONE wireless choice instead of 3. So I am guessing that I could re-setup the Airport Extreme by choosing "Extend a wireless network" (instead of what I did "create a wireless network") so that the SteveBelWiFi is then simply the ONLY wireless choice. BUT how will this work? The B-box is still emitting a signal on level B -- correct? If I "extend" the wireless, I see that I get to choose an existing wireless so I would choose SteveBelWiFi
WELL NOW I'VE GONE AND MESSED-UP EVERYTHING!!!!!!   Before submitting this questions I decided to try to change to "extend a wireless connection" and I chose the      only to get a warning message that this couldn't be done and then a yellow triangle with an "!" inside next to my Airport Extreme. I did a "factory reset" like this:
To perform a factory default reset on the AirPort Extreme:
First remove power from the Extreme.
Using a paperclip or similar object, depress the reset button, and while still depressed plug the Extreme into power.
Keep the reset button depressed until the status light on the Extreme starts flashing rapidly, and then, release the reset button.
BUT NOTHING-- Airport Utility DOES NOT FIND my Airport Extreme - the only way I can now connect to the internet is to plug-in my B-Box ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro. Everything else-- gone.
WHY WON'T Airport Utility re-find my Airport Extreme when I do the reset? I let it glow with the amber button for over 10 minutes, - NOTHING.
Really lost, depressed and fully not understanding this now…
Truly need serious HELP here-- I'm almost shut-down…
Thanks anyone,
Best regards,
Steve Schulte
Thursday 10 January 2013

I left-out one thing: Prior to the factory when I was trying to choose "Extend a wireless Network" I of course chose SteveBelWiFi

Steve

VISTA & WIRELESS : HOW TO SOLVE LOCAL ACCESS ONLY?

Thank you for your reading and possible answer(s),
UNABLE TO GET "LOCAL AND INTERNET ACCESS" UNDER VISTA, WHILE IT WAS POSSIBLE UNDER XP
I used to get connected "home-like" with XP to a "secondary wireless router" (SSID: Wlancomtrend - no authentication needed, no work group, signal strength: Excellent), which gets the internet signal from a "main wireless router", plugged to the DSL line (SSID: Wireless - no authenticatin needed, no work group, signal strength: Good / Low).
I am not the administrator of these routers. I used to get DNS automatically under TCPIP properties.
VISTA DOESN'T LET ME ACCESS THE INTERNET, THOUGH I MANAGE TO CONNECT TO THE SAME ROUTER
It says: "Access: local only"; and under Network and sharing center it says "unidentified network". I gess I'm a bit unfamiliar with this OS and do not master all its settings. I also marked off security essentials like Firewall under Windows security center, to prevent any possible internet access blocking. My laptop power plan is also set to "High performance".
- I suspect my ID network is not well configured. Under System properties (right click on the "My computer icon") > Computer name > network ID > Join a Domain or Workgroup: I'm trying to keep the "This is a home computer" setting, but it goes back to "This computer is part of a business network" all the time, even after reboot. How to fix this, by the way?
- Under Network and Sharing center > Customize the current connection > location type > i set it to "public".
Other factors maybe irrelevant: / Sharing discovery > Network discovery: "On" / > file sharing: "On".
I get DNS automatically under TCPIP properties (as with XP).
A couple of days ago, VISTA managed to get internet with the "main wireless router" (SSID: Wireless - no authentication needed, signal strength: Good / Low). I just tried to set ID network to "This is a home computer" and rebooted. Under the network window, I also tried to tick a network location or workgroup. This may not be important, though.
I STILL JUST GET LOCAL ACCESS ONLY WITH MY WIRELESS CONNECTION UNDER VISTA
Any help? Molta mercé / Many thanks
Also tried:
- Automatically Detect Settings checked in internet options
- Obtain an IP address automatically under TCPIP properties
- Enable DHCP
- Disable User Account Control in Security Center
- Disable most of the Vista security stuff
- Remove and set up all connections
- IPv6 off
- etc.

Well, I have been thoroughly frustrated by this networking problem in Vista. What is so INSIDIOUS about it, is that it can happen spontaneously/periodically. When it first started happening, I could go for hours with
no problems. And then all of the sudden, it's "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY." I'd even lose my Internet connection completely, but then it would come back momentarily. Lately though, the problem got worse. It would happen every 5-10 minutes.
What really drove me nuts originally is that I had set up a new wireless router: a TP-Link TL-WR941N. Very nice and powerful. It can reach up 3 stories in a multi-story home. I have my computer up on the 3rd floor. My Internet
connection was no problem... for MONTHS. And then, all of the sudden, this "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY" problem started cropping up. My network connection would change to this, then after a few moments, go back to "LOCAL AND INTERNET".
I figured it was some kind of "momentary atmospheric problem". But no. It continued on, for days and days after it had started. Why? Why would this start happening when nothing else had changed?
Ah, but that's where I was amiss. You see, Vista gets updated frequently by the powers that be at Microsoft. And who knows what things they really do? You don't get a full report. You just keep getting "important security updates".
Well, I suspect that at some point, they introduced some changes which affect the networking capability of Vista. And so, since that point, you'll have periodic problems as I have.
Microsoft is so focused on Windows-7, that they really can't be bothered with Vista. AND... I really wonder if they leave defects like this around to give incentive for people to upgrade to Windows-7. I wouldn't put it past them.
Well, the main thing is that each person's situation is different. Some people have 3rd party software that is tripping it up (like Norton or McAfee). I think a lot of the problem depends upon the type of wireless router you're connected with
and the type of network (e.g. G vs. N). So that's why some fixes proposed solve the problem while others do nothing.
If you try any settings changes, I strongly recommend that you do them one at a time. Also, keep note of what you've applied. It is important to be able to roll back those changes if need be.
So, this was the first friendly user tip that helped me:
Over the course of several days, I made only one change at a time, then waited to see if the failure occurred again. I'm an IT networking professional so I based my decisions on my familiarity with network protocols, impact, risk, ease of
implementation and fallback positions.
These are the steps I took:
1. Installed Teracopy, which takes over the file copying function of Windows.
http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php
2. Disabled IPv6 (Control Panel -> Network Connections -> <your connection> -> Properties)
3. Disabled Link Layer Topology Discovery Mapper and Responder (Control Panel -> Network Connections -> <your connection> -> Properties)
4. Set Power settings to high performance (Control Panel -> Power Options) and disabled the screensaver (Control Panel -> Personalization -> Screen Saver)
5. Reduced my Linksys router's MTU to 1480 (although I doubt this was part of the solution)
6. Enabled ECN with the following command "netsh interface tcp set global ecncapability=enabled" from command line (Start -> cmd)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726965.aspx
Possibly step 6 is all you really need to do. Please post if this works for you.
Well, I figured I'd give step #6 a shot. Why not? There are a few other command line settings recommended, but I decided to try it alone first:
   netsh interface tcp set global ecncapability=enabled
At first, this seemed to be the only thing I needed to do. My "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY" problem seemed to stop happening, observed over a 20 minute period. It happened again for a moment, but then Internet Access returned right away. I thought
the problem was solved... But then "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY" came back and stayed. I had to run these commands as well:
   netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
   netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
This WORKED! I seem to sustain my Internet connection for much longer periods. LOCAL ACCESS ONLY does pop up sometimes, but it is very brief. I think it's something to do with my router going into "sleep mode" on the
connection. If I try to make a connection to a website, it comes back to life and I have Internet Access again.
LASTLY...
There is one other thing I want to mention, in case someone else reading this has the same problem.
One day after a severe storm that caused a power outage, I started getting "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY." The wireless router was there and I'd connect to it, but no Internet. I connected directly to it, hardwired, and STILL had the same problem. I
rebooted the router, the cable modem, you name it. Same problem. Being directly connected to the cable modem was fine. Did my router get fried from a power surge during the storm? It seemed perfectly fine in all other respects. I
eventually contacted the TP-LINK customer support. I learned something new... the problem was with the IP ADDRESS of the router conflicting with the cable modem.
By default, your wireless router will take IP address 192.168.1.1. In some cases, this will be a problem if the cable modem is taking the same IP address
and is finicky about the address of the wireless router. It was fine for almost 6 months... why did it become a problem all of the sudden? Bizarre. Suspicion was that the ISP changed some things (they remotely reprogram
the modems from time to time, you know). The solution? Give the wireless router a different address (e.g. 192.168.2.1). It worked!  I was able to get Internet access after that. Worked fine for several months,
too... until I started getting that periodic "LOCAL ACCESS ONLY" again. But the solution above seems to have addressed it.
Good luck to those having problems. I sure wish Microsoft would be more dedicated to its customer base. But thankfully we've got forums like this which bring people together to help solve each others problems. :-)

ITS.ear Wireless -- how to remove appl from embedded OC4J config JDev b4157

The embedded container configuration currently includes ITS.ear; I'd like to remove this from the default applications started by embedded container.
The JDev (10.1.3.41.57) Tools .. Embedded OC4J Server Preferences .. Applications list includes ITS. The input fields and buttons to change or Delete this web application are greyed out. Removing the <application> entry from the server.xml file in c:/JDev_4157/jdev/system/oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.41.57/embedded-oc4j/config/ only removes ITS application temporarily -- it reappeared.
I've not been able to locate a configuration that causes this to be added to the default datatags and current-workspace-app applications.
Thanks.

Thanks for reading and checking your installation.
Don't believe it's automatic in the standard install; I only noticed it recently but I have no idea how it got activated or how to unactivate it. (You can find the EAR file in <your-JDEV-root>/wirelss/ITS.ear.) Is there a binary JDev config file storing a preference to include this in the IDE and/or container?
The <application> tag appeared in my \JDev_4157\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.41.57/embedded-oc4j/config/server.xml unexpectedly but its tag's path was incorrect and so it would not auto-deploy during container start-up. When I copied the ear file from the wireless directory to the embedded-oc4j/applications folder it deployed next time I started the embedded container.
Even though I removed tags in server.xml and the default-web-site.xml in the container's config folder, and deleted the ear file and the deployed subdirectories, it continued to re-appear. Possibly I didn't always get all of these pieces. It doesn't alway reappear on the first restart; sometimes not until after the 3rd restart. That doesn't make sense to me but I haven't discerned the pattern for when it re-creates itself.

Wired slower than wireless- how can that be? WRT54GS-6

I cannot understand how this is possible. On my Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster - WRT54GS - 6, the ethernet port is significantly slower than the the wireless? Do I have to change some setting?

When you say that your "ethernet" is slower that your "wireless" , what do you mean ? IS the ethernet slower that the wireless when you are surfing the web, or is it slow when you want to transfer files from one PC to another in your network ?
In case your ethernet is slower than the wireless when surfing the web,I'd suggest that you upgrade the firmware of the router.
Also ensure that you do not have any kind of firewalls running on your PC.

Only send and receive emails while connecetd to Desktop Manager, wireless how?

Hello,
We have a user taht we are trying to setup with our BES server. The Wireless sync did not work so we are trying to do it manually through DM. We have got as far as getting the syncronizatiobn to be done while he is connected with the USB cable. But how we can do so this is done wirelesly.
By looking at your helpfull forum I know I have to be tinkering with some short of options. Any documentation link will be very helpfull.
Thank you very much,
Carlos Cavia

Greetings
I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well.
(A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

Wireless -- how to find a public accesspoint

i have a wireless mini_pci builtin in my laptop and configured the modules (orinoco_pci) fine; with iwconfig i can find out that it works fine --- i also tried successfully to have a laptop to laptop connection configured with iwconfig commands
now to larger things:
i want to try out connecting to a public accesspoint ... the funny thing is: people using this way to connect to internet told me i can go to control panel in my windows and search for the accesspoint --- the thing is: i have no windows running on this laptop; only archlinux :-) .. but want to search for it in the same way
=> how do you search for available accesspoints on archlinux?

ok, i tried ... but now i'm at home and probably there is no public accesspoint around --- but the feedback i got from kismet is not so clear:

Connected to wireless, how to configure isp

I am visiting a friend and their are multiple people living in the house. The owner as a wireless router (belkin) but requires each occupant to have their own isp account. Therefore, the DSL modem does not have a single user id and password for access. The DSL is simply serving as transport.
I have set up a Windows XP PC to connect to the wireless router and then to connect to a broadband isp account.
I cannot figure out how to do this on the macbook. I can connect to the wireless just fine. And if I connect the macbook to an ethernet port on the hub connected to the dsl router I can connect to the internet via PPPoE. But how can I connect the Macbook to the wireless router and then connect to the ISP with my user id and password?

Actually, here is the scenario. The incumbent carrier is providing the DSL circuit without ISP services. There are four people with different accounts with an ISP. All four of us can connect to the ISP at the same time (much like a dial up account). The people using Microsoft connect to the wireless router then have created a broadband connection that is accessed much like a dial up account. The Mac people have to be connected to an ethernet cable connected to a switch connected to the router. I haven't come across a way for the Macbook to connect to the wireless router and then connect to the broadband account.
The issue is not if it will work with a separate DSL and ISP. That is working fine. The issue is connecting the Macbook to the wireless router and then accessing the broadband connection rather than having to be wired to the switch.
Hope this is making sense.

On my hp officejet pro 2000 wireless, how do I find the "printer code" so I can set up eprint??

printer is installed and working well, but I want now to set up eprinting so I can print from my ipad. i have installed the free app on my ipad, but seems I also need to enter a printer code to set it up. the 2000 does not have a screen so I cannot see any info there. How can I discover the printer code?

How old is the printer? I am not finding any support paged for the Officejet 2000. Here is a link to a document that goes over the supported printers for cloud services. There is a dropdown for HP Officejet products, click on that drop down and it will produce a chart that will show which models are capable of ePrint and other cloud services. I hope that this helps.
I am a former employee of HP...

Officejet 4500 G510n-z (all in one wireless) - how to eliminate power save option?

My Officejet 4500 G510n-z (All in one, wireless) works fine until it sits idle - then it goes into power save mode and won't "wake up". I have tried every button on the control panel - and nothing gets it out of power save idle. In this state, you cannot even turn the printer off with the on/off button - to get the unit to work again, you must unplug it, wait, then reconnect the electric cord. Then, it all works fine until the next time it goes into a long power save mode. I've gone through all the help manuals without finding any information about power save options.

Hi there,
