Wireless Personal Area Network: UltraWide Band (UWB)

Hello,
I noticed the new T61p offers lately UWB as an option.
can this be retrofitted to 'oldish' T61p models (6459CTO in my case, just 3 months old)?
thanks,
andrea
T61p - 15.4" - T7700 - FX 570M 256MB - 4GB RAM - ST916023AS - 4965AGN - BT - FPR - 9 cell - Vista Ult. x86
T21p - 14" - PIII 850MHz - S3 Savage/IX 8MB - 512MB RAM - 100GB 7200rpm - WinXP x86

Apparently the answer to that is 'yes': see this thread for details

But it certainly is not a noob job... Not that I am implying that you are a noob, just a caveat.
I really don't think it is worth it, just to eliminate one cable (from notebook to wireless hub).  Self contained wireless USB devices are not commonly available yet, so you have to plug everything into a wireless hub.

  • Can netctl configure Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) interface?

    Having sorted out the (so I thought) most difficult part of setting up Bluetooth PAN networking, I am at the stage of being able to make a PAN connection from an Android phone to my Arch machine, which causes a new interface "bnep0" to appear:
    [root@alarm ~]# ip link show
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP. mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    pan0 is a "skeleton" interface created using "brctl addbr", which is then used to provide an org.bluez.NetworkServer for PAN clients to connect to.
    My question is: how can I configure the system (using a config file /etc/netctl/bnep0? or some other way?) so that bnep0 is automatically assigned a static IPv4 address when it comes up?
    I have a working /etc/netctl/eth0 config. file that assigns a static IP address, gateway, nameserver etc. to eth0, and I've tried various modifications of that file as /etc/netctl/bnep0 (e.g. connection type "bridge" or "dummy" instead of "ethernet"), but without success so far.
    thanks,

  • Bluetooth Personal Area Networking

    I am hoping the collective wisdom of the internet can solve this.
    I am trying to establish a network link between my MacBook running OS X 10.5.5 and my PC running Windows XP with a Bluetooth dongle (2.0 +EDR).
    I have tried establishing creating Bluetooth PAN on the Mac and getting the PC to connect to it, however the PC cannot discover a device that is PAN capable. (If I try and discover the device from the Bluetooth preferences on the PC, then it can discover it, however PAN on the PC still does not recognise it).
    I have run Bluetooth Explorer on the Mac and it under Class Of Device (Local Device Information), it shows Networking as unselected. I can select it and close the Bluetooth Explorer and it retains settings when restarted, however I don't think this is reflected in the hardware as hitting "Refresh All From Hardware" resets this to unchecked.
    Does ANYBODY have any experience at all in creating a network link between a Mac and PC using bluetooth? If anyone can point me to some documentation for either Mac, Windows, bluetooth in general or (hopefully) a recipe for doing what I want that would be great. Google has proven unsatisfactory so far.
    Cheers,
    Mike.

    Hi there @brutusnl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are having problems with lines on your display and sometimes a blue screen. I am happy to help you with this.
    From what you said you have tried you are using a newer driver from AMD. It may be part of the problem, only because the notebook manufacturers tend to customize the drivers for the hardware in the notebook. A notebook BIOS and the drivers designed for it, tend to have limits placed on some functions and others are disabled, to prevent damage to the hardware. A notebook being a more compact and enclosed environment is more susceptible to heat issues. You may want to try the original driver from the HP support site.  AMD Video Driver
    Also check through the following pages on resolving display issues:

  • Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) Missing

    According to many online sources, bluetooth PAN capability was added in OSX as of 10.4.9. Apparently, it comes in the form of a new port under "Network->Network Port Configurations". I'm told I should see a port called "Bluetooth PAN" in that screen. This is missing on my system and I have 10.4.10.
    Does anyone have ideas as to how I can get this back?

    Archive and Install, stopping the updates ith the 10.4.9 Combo, but I think it should be there in 10.4.10 and beyond, is on mine, and I have no Bluetooth Devives!
    It can be a munged file or permissions that is stopping it. The files that CAN affect that are...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
    Try repairing permissions first, or better yet, get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.

  • Does Pixi's Bluetooth Support PAN (Personal Area Network)?

    I was told that since Pixi doesn't have Wifi, which is needed for PocketMirror (for syncing Pixi w/ MS Outlook), that a PAN via Bluetooth would allow PocketMirror to connect between Pixi and my computer.  There is information out on the net that says that Pre supports PAN, and I'm not certain that info is valid.  Regardless, my interest is in the Pixi.  Anyone been able to set up PAN between Pixi and computer?

  • TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

    my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Problems wirelessly extending 5Ghz network with Time Capsule

    Summary:
    My Time Capsule wirelessly extends a 5Ghz "n" network provided by my Airport Extreme, but the Time Capsule frequently fails and stops providing Internet access to connected computers. I'm not sure if the problem is with the Time Capsule or with the Airport Extreme it's connecting to.
    Setup:
    Airport Extreme (dual band) connected to cable modem. It provides a 5Ghz "n" network and a 2.5Ghz "b-g-n" network. This is in the bedroom.
    Time Capsule (non-dual band) joins the 5Ghz network and extends it. This is in the office, maybe 40 feet away, line-of-sight. There is a laser printer connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet.
    My MacBook is set to join the 5 Ghz network, and since it's in the office, it ends up joining via the Time Capsule. This is the desired behavior, as connecting through the Time Capsule seems to result in the fastest possible backup speed.
    There are no wireless devices, such as cordless phones, in the house. The microwave is NOT in use when the problems arise.
    *The Problem:*
    Frequently, the MacBook loses its Internet connection, though it is still connected to the 5Ghz network through the Time Capsule. When this happens, it can only see the Time Capsule it's connected through (and other devices that are connected to it) but no other devices on the network.
    When this happens, other devices that are connecting to the 5Ghz network through the Airport Extreme can no longer see the Time Capsule or any devices connected to it, such as the laser printer or my MacBook. This includes the living room computer, which has never been able to complete a backup due to this problem.
    The Time Capsule's and the Airport Extreme's indicator lights both stay green.
    If I change the Macbook's connection to the 2.5Ghz network, it can see the devices connected to the Airport Extreme, but can no longer reach the Time Capsule.
    *Unsuccessful Solutions:*
    This was happening in a previous incarnation of the network, when I had a non-dual band Airport Extreme providing the main network, the Time Capsule connected via 5Ghz, and an Airport Express connected via ethernet to the Time Capsule to provide a b-g network.
    I replaced the Airport Extreme with a new dual-band unit to simplify the setup, but it did not solve the problem.
    Since the Time Capsule seemed to be the weak link in the network, I reported the problem and got the unit replaced, but the problem still persists.
    I've reset both the Airport Extreme and the Time Capsule to their factory settings numerous times, and set them up again from scratch (no imported settings). I've gone in and made sure that there were no WDS settings leftover from the earlier configuration, as the 5Ghz network does not need it to extend itself.
    *Plea for help:*
    Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

    Update
    The other day, I modified the setup so that the Time Capsule doesn't extend the wireless network wirelessly, only through Ethernet (so the attached printer will work, but the computers will connect directly to the AEBS. The Time Capsule stayed connected long enough for me to do a full backup (125GB) from the downstairs computer.
    I thought I had it "solved" (though extending the 5Ghz network would be preferable so the office computers can have faster backup speeds.)
    But yesterday, I went to print to the Ethernet-attached printer, and it got only one page out before it disappeared off the network again, and the print job failed. I noticed it did it again, today.
    So the problem is not tied to wirelessly extending the network.

  • How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

    How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
    Question for 4/18 experts ...
    Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
    I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011.  Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
    Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band.  It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band  5GHZ wireless N.   I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
    I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001.  In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230.  Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card.   I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030.  So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem.  Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
    So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s.   And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it. 
    But will it work??
    First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts,  work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific  laptop.  I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance.   I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
    Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's.  When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires.  And it worked.   I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230.   Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
    Thanks for any suggestions.  The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards. 

    I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7.  It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz.  Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list".  Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards.  I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem. 

  • Wireless Expander WRE54G and Dual Band router WRT610N

    I used to have a band G-type network with a Linksys Router and a Wireless Expander WRE54G. It worked fine.
    Now I have a WRT610 N Dual Band router. I am trying to connect the WRE54G to the netowrk (using the G-band of course) but it doesn't work. Runnig the Setup utility from the CD (og the Range Expander) ends in a "Site survey" which terminates with an error "Site survey fail". Maybe the installation program is not able to handle the WRT610N.
    Any suggestions?

    Press and hold the reset button on WRE for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
    Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
    Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240. Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
    Once you get to the set-up page,change the Expander Settings...While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex.Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1),Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
    After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router) ...Your Expander should be configured...

  • New laptop won't print wirelessly to a network printer

    I just bought a new laptop running windows 7, and it wont print to my photosmart c5580 that is networked and wired through my computer (desktop) and shared running windows XP. I also know that my computer has to be on for this to happen, I also know that the printer is networked correctly cause I have another desktop that prints fine wirelessly through the network. The laptop recognizes the printer as well as other files that are being shared, I have also downloaded the windows 7 driver for that printer, as well as change the name of the workgroup to match the rest of the computers on the network. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    There is a challenge sharing a 32 bit driver from XP to a 64 bit version of Windows 7, as a software installation defaults to 64 bit. The exact opposite happens on a 64 bit XP to 32 bit Windows 7. The solution is to use Add a device, and check the x86 box when prompted. Here are the links to HP documents which should help you resolve the issue:

    I'm not familiar with HH (I use a third party router) but it looks as though the HH is set to NOT broadcast the SSID. I'm sure that if you go into the HH settings (the address foe the HH should be 192.168.1.254) you should find somewhere a check box or whatever that allows the router to b'cast the SSID or not. Some would argue that you should not b'cast the SSID but IMHO it makes no difference as the SSID is so easy to discover even if it's not being b'cast.
    Just another thought is that you might have to set the wireless connection up as a separate connection to the wired connection. I don't know which OS you are using but if Win 7 then go into 'Network and Sharing centre' and then select 'connect to a network' and take it from there. If not on Win 7 then, if I recall correctly, right click on the networking icon in the system tray and there should be an option to connect to a network.
    Hope this helps, if not then I'm sure there are other HH users on this forum who will provide advice.

  • Local area network disable internet connection

    Hello,
    i have a strange problem, i explain
    Computer A  win XP   ip 192.168.2.231 with onboard network card
    Computer B  win 98   ip 192.168.2.232 with pci network card
    Router Linksys WRT54GS, with ip 192.168.2.230, but i use it just like a hub because i don't have here internet connection
    both computers connected with cable and all work nice.
    Then i added a wireless/USB Planet because i want to connect it to another router in another building to get internet connection, so i connected this Planet wireless/USB to computer A, all work nice, i get signal internet connection and ip 192.168.1.102
    but ..... and that is the problem, when i connect computer B win local area it disable my internet connection, i try to ping some domain name from computer A, where Planet adaptor is installed, but it try to find this domain name in local area instead to route in internet connection, if i deactivate local area ..... internet connection work like a charm.
    I tried to change several ip groups, all in 192.168.1.x, tried to disable, enable DHCP server in router, tried to change subnet mask, tried to use proxy, to play with router configuration...... nothing it not work.
    So i think something about network onboard conflicts, so i installed a new pci card in computer A, ouffff nothing when i active local network i stop to have internet connection, i tried also to install another USB wireless adaptor and connect it via wireless with router, nothing ... when i active local network i stop to get internet connections
    So the only way to get internet connection is do disable local network oufffff
    any suggestions about ?
    tks

    Via wileress USB Planet adaptor  i want to connect to another router WRT54GS located in another building, all work nice, i get internet etc... my problem is local are, when i active it .. internet connection stop to work

  • Wireless to wired networks?

    Hi all,
    basically I have a netgear wireless modem router that is situated in one room. I have in another room several computers, consoles etc (that don't have wireless) which are all connected together by a switch. Now I would like these computers/consoles to be able to access the internet (provided through the netgear).
    So currently I have an airport express (just g, not newest n), and I was wondering if I can somehow plug it into the switch in the other room and have it connect to the netgear's wireless network (and as such provide internet to the other computers/consoles connected to the switch).
    I am not too sure where to go from here, I can get the express to join the wireless network, but the other computers/consoles still cannot see the internet (or the dhcp server provided netgear router)? Any one have any suggestions?

    Yes it's not available with the 802.11g version. Sorry, I misread your post.
    The other option would be to try to create a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the AX & the Belkin. Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS...so it very unlikely that your Belkin router can be extended wirelessly with the AX.
    The only Belkins that are known to work are the Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231.
