Wireless setup for one place prevents wireless for another place?

I have an airport extreme at home, with WPA2 personal security and a hidden SSID. At work, I had to use the wireless over there today, which uses WPA2 enterprise with a 802.1X profile. It took some fidgeting (needed to throw away some old stuff from keychain and the "preferred networks" listing, but then it worked.
Getting home, I now cannot connect anymore to my home network. I've tried actively connecting to it (Join other network, providing name, security and pass), but it only gives me a time-out.
Any suggestions? Is there a possibility that somewhere under the hood, the two wireless setups are interfering?

You should simply setup a new location and not throw out all your previous settings.
In network preferences, select new location, call it work and set it up. It will have no effect on the other one which you should label home or something other than default.

  • Optimal Setup for New Time Capsule with Wireless AC

    I'm curious to see what the hypotehtical optimal setup for my Time Capsule.  I understand that wireless speeds depend on a ton of factors and that part of getting the best connection is just trying different options.  I have a new Time Capsule that's connected to the following devices: iPhone 5S; new MacBook Air with wireless AC; old iMac from 2007; old AirPort Express that only supports b/g and a newish Apple TV that supports wireless N, I believe.  I was connecting to the network (which was not designated with the 5ghz) and I recently chose the option to label the 5ghz.  I'm using that now to stream music with the new iPhone and the Apple TV with no problems, but I have no longer have the option of using the old Airport express because it's an old one.  I'm thinking of just getting a new Airport Express and leaving it at that, but wanted to know if anyone has some thoughts on this.  I'm sure there's a more concise and direct way to ask this question, but my knowledge is pretty limited here.  Thanks in advance.

    The Time Capsule is already set up for optimal performance when you open up the box.
    You can assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and point devices that are capable to that network. This works well if the device is located close to the Time Capsule.
    But, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so once you move a room or two away, or the signal has to pass through several walls, the 2.4 GHz will be stronger.....and probably faster as well.
    But...your device will try to stay locked on the 5 GHz network since you set it up that way.
    This type of setup may or may not work best for you.  For most users, it is simpler and more effective to use the default settings on the Time Capsule to have both bands use the same network name.
    Then, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the signal with the best quality. Best quality may not be the fastest signal since there are lot of factors involved with signal quality. But, if you think about it a bit more, don't you want to have your wireless device connect to the signal with the best quality?
    Some users swear by assigning a separate name to the 5 GHz band. I'm not one of them, but If it works well for them and they are happy, then there is no reason to change.
    An older AirPort on your network is going to drag down the speeds. You need the new AirPort Express, or better yet an AirPort Extreme if you want to be able to extend the new 802.11ac signal.

    I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? To create a personal cloud?
    Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:

    I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
    Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
    I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    (*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)

  • Can Wireless bridge be a transport bridge for another WLAN?

    Can I setup a bridge as a transport bridge between two bridges as following?

    How should I setup for root and non-root in this case?
    Can I do aggregation if I have 2 bridges in location 1 and 2 for redundancy?

    Instead of using the "Assist Me" mode, you will want to use the "Manual Setup" mode to configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network.
    Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
    If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.

    Heap size must be calculated according to the applications that are been deployed on each JVM.
    With no deployments, you dont need more than 256k for managed servers heap size and 512k for adminserver. As biggest its your heap size, longer will take your garbage collection. And if you can prevent it, better do it.

  • HT4557 whats the best itunes/appleID setup for family of 3 with 3 ipads, 3 iphones, one PC with all music on.  if we use 3 separate ones how do we share purchased and home content?

    been with apple for years.  one itunes/appleID in use for family - all purchases and downloads on the one account..
    now got 3 ipads, 3 iphones and when we update the software, we seem to get text/facetime issues due to multiple email addresses and phone numbers for the different devices that each individual uses.  For example, I send a text and it appears to have come from my wife or son to the recipient.  Not good !
    there seems to be direction from apple that each of us should use our own apple id, thogh how do I link the accounts so enable family sharing of music/media we have purchased etc - Id also like to be able to review and keep a private eye on what my son downloads as he is 11 yrs old ! I manage this currently as we allow him access to the password for itunes (as we all use the same id today)
    Am i better setting up accounts for my wife and son independent of my own, or not. Each of us would like access to the family content we have and the master library of synced content.  I just want the most simplistic approach that apple, or others would recommend. 
    Is there a better or optimum setup for a family as we cannot be alone.....

    Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
    My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
    Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea-  one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

    Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
    This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
    The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

  • DMZ setup for SBS 2011

    Any suggestions on a low end router capable of providing a decent firewall that would begin to meet the security requirements needed for a DMZ setup?  (example Cisco PIX 506 Firewall) 
    And whether it can be done with just a couple of wireless routers, one with an enabled DMZ?   My initial thought on this is that the standard consumer wireless routers have an eight character password which is far from secure enough to do
    much of anything. (brainstorm details below)
    Thought is to place a web form login page in the DMZ... add a read only file to test the web form access.  Nothing fancy and for now, it does nothing except verify that user can login or is denied login.   Verified login goes nowhere except
    "Success".  Build something later when the first part works (if it works).
    Plan is to exist over two lans (or IP sets within the domain - one set is 192.168.01.xxx and the other set is 192.168.02.xxx) and set up bypass rules between the two.  The Lan 192.168.01.xxx would house the DMZ (with HTTP port 80 access) and the
    Lan 192.168.02.xxx would house the internal domain (SBS 2011 DC running VPN, Sharepoint etc, HyperV server with virtuals running SQL and TFS, and laptop access).  The 192.168.01.xxx is a guest lan for non-domain (non-hostile) members.
    So my questions: 
    1) Can the HTTP header be forwarded from SBS 2011 router rules on the router firewall to hit the second lan (http requests from 192.168.02.xxx would be routed over to 192.168.01.xxx)?
    2) Can an inexpensive router like the PIX ($30 used) above solve the "crack the eight character router password issue?"  (Maybe I just need a newer router in general where the passwords are more secure?)
    Currently RWW open, SSL open, VPN (1723) open, 25 open... all other ports closed.  [Does this create any snafu's?]

    While all this is good information, I would clarify one point
    Port 80 should not be open and port forwarded as it's the single most commonly attacked port
    Users should be taught to come in via port 443, using https

    Hi,
    I have deployed similar setups for clients. The main thing is the quality of the router/firewall facing the internet. I assume when you talk about open ports, you mean open via NAT (network address translation) otherwise, you are leaving the firewall to
    do the hard work. I am a fan of Draytek 2830 adsl routers. They also have cable routers if you connect via cable. These are much more expensive than $30 - about £230 in the UK. Cheaper models by other manufacturers are available, but what you should look for
    is a fully customisable NAT server (also called virtual server on some cheaper models) Have a look at Zyxel and TP-Link professional routers. Passwords with these routers can be as complex as you need.
    I assume you have a static IP address or block of static IP addresses for your public wan address. Using dynamic DNS will create problems with spam filters if you are using an Exchange/smtp server on your SBS server to send email and is not recommended.
    SBS needs to be able to access your server via ports 25, 80, 443 and 987. You may also want to use 1726 if you need a VPN connection. Use NAT to map these ports from WAN to LAN. for example if your WAN address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and your LAN subnet
    is 192.168.1.0 with your SNS server IP address set to 192.168.1.1 and your router IP is 192.168.1.254, then you would add the following to the NAT address table:
    WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 25 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 25
    WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 80 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 80
    WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 443 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 43
    WAN XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 987 to LAN 192.168.1.1 port 987
    This will provide secure access to these ports from WAN to LAN and will enable SBS remote web access, SBS Exchange Email and Outlook Web Access. Computers connecting will require either a third party domain certificate (eg from Verisign or
    GoDaddy etc) or the self issued certificate (found in the public document folder on the SBS server) to be distributed to machines to enable them to use this remote access.
    For the non secure subnet, you will need another router connected to a LAN port on your main router. Configure the WAN address of the secondary router to be 192.168.1.253 and the LAN  subnet to be anything suitable but different from your primary
    LAN, eg 192.168.2.0. On your main router, set the WAN IP address of your secondary router (192.168.1.253) on the DMZ. This opens the WAN port of the secondary router to the internet but isolates it from your primary LAN subnet.
    This setup is suitable for a secure network with public wifi access via the secondary router. Use the secondary router to restrict bandwidth, download types adult content etc. to prevent public abuse of your Wifi network, but still making it suitble
    for smatphones to connect.
    I hope this is clear, but if you have any questions, post again.
    regards,
    Linda

  • Need advice on best setup for Extreme and Express w/ (n only) network

    I'd like to get some advice on the best setup for my situation. I've read a number of posts on WDS, Extending a Network, etc. and, unfortunately, I'm now more confused than ever.
    We have an Airport Extreme 802.11n using WPA2 Personal, 2.4Ghz (n only connection) which I've found to give us the best range/connection speeds for the following devices (all computers running 10.5.5, Apple TV's using most current update):
    (2) MacBooks
    iMac
    (2) AppleTVs
    The good news we have a large house, the bad news we have a large house. Meaning of course that I don't get the range in parts of the house I'd like to. I also have an older Mini (G4) connected to the AEBS thru ethernet (the Mini acts as the iTunes server for the ATVs).
    I just bought a new Airport Express with the desire to place it on the other side of the house to both enhance the range of the wireless network and to provide another wired to wireless connection to the network.
    I initially merely chose to "Extend a wireless network" but that seems to have a MAJOR adverse impact on the speeds of the wireless network. dropping the streaming to one of the ATV by like 90%. I would like to maintain the security settings I have as well as the 2.4Ghz (n only) since these provide the best speed/connection range on the AEBS.
    My question then is what is the best way to use the AX (WDS? Bridge?).

    The best way to use it is the option you chose "Extend a wireless network".
    WDS forces you to the much slower 802.11g and even cuts that bandwidth in half.
    Operating as a bridge has nothing to do with wirelessly extending a network. Changing this option won't have any effect on wireless bandwidth.

Maybe you are looking for
