Wireless solution advice needed.pls.

hi there,
I have a macbook pro, c2d..and my question is as fallows.
For one, i am unclear about this upgrade for the macbook pros for the network cards, if someone could clearify that would be great.
I live in a building where internet is provided, i dont have access to the router. I do on the other hand have a pc desktop, and my question is; can i buy a wireless router and run that from my desktop (eventough there is already another router in the building), and if so, should i get the new ones offerd from apple....and upgrade that 'thing' in my MBP?
Any and all suggestions would be great!
macbookpro C2D 15 inch, 2gig ram, 256 vidcard.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Tristan, the answer to my question is on your PC, you don't need access to the building's router. If you check the network settings on your PC you have basically two ways of setting it up. You can set it up with a fixed IP address provided to you by the people of the building or your you can set it up to receive an IP address automatically, what is referred to as DHCP.
Those same settings are what you would use when you set up your wireless router as it will take the place of the PC. Then you will connect the PC to the router in which case you will set it up to receive an IP address automatically, it will get it from the new wireless router. The Mac will be set up similarly to use DHCP and get its address from the wireless router.
Like I said, you can buy any brand wireless router you want, they all follow the same standards that allow them to connect to 802.11b/g devices that the Mac can connect to. It is just that your newer MacBook Pro can use a new standard (802.11n) which is a higher speed and more reliable then the previous standards but the new standard has not been ratified yet. There is no guarantee that the MacBook Pro will be able to use this new standard with these other routers (it will fall back to the previous 802.11b/g if it can't.) I can guarantee it does work with the new Apple router as I have one working now. Your desktop PC will work with it also but since it will be directly connected using ethernet this is a non issue.

  • Newbie Setting up a Wireless Network - Advice Needed

    Before I run out and drop $$$ on stuff that won't work for me, I thought I'd better get some advice.
    Here goes:
    I have an older 1.25 GHz G4 iMac running OS X 10.5.1, no airport card installed yet, a Lacie 500 GB external HD, an Epson R200 printer and a cable modem. I want to create a wireless network that I can hook my XBox into as well. The computer and peripherals all in the same room except the XBox which is two floors below (about 30 to 40 feet away).
    My question is: Should I get the previous generation Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g or the latest Extreme 802.11n. WHich would work best for me? Which Airport card should I get, and which will my iMac support? How do I hook everything up to produce the fastest possible speed? The XBox wireless adapter is not compatible so far with 802.11n.
    Thanks!

    FG. Kelly, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The computer and peripherals all in the same room except the XBox which is two floors below (about 30 to 40 feet away).
    Going through 2 floors may be tough depending on the building material used.
    Should I get the previous generation Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g or the latest Extreme 802.11n.
    Apple now only sells the square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Which Airport card should I get, and which will my iMac support?
    The 1.25 GHz iMac G4 is only compatible with the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme card.
    How do I hook everything up to produce the fastest possible speed?
    Use Ethernet for the fastest speed.

  • DropBox v TimeCapsule (advice needed, pls help)

    Hi everyone,
    I need advice on how to set up my home system in terms of using Dropbox, Hard drive usage and home networking.
    Please bear with me while i explain my situation. I run my own Graphic Design business from a home office, I have an 27" iMac and i have a 13" Alu Late 2008 Macbook which i use for my work. I mainly work on my iMac most of the time and then use my macbook in evenings (in front of TV) and when out of the house/office. My iMac has a 1TB hard drive and my Macbook has a 160GB hard drive. I also have a 3TB Lacie external hard drive storing all of my files.
    I have a Pro Dropbox account so i have just over a 1TB of storage there too. My plan was to use the Dropbox as my main file storage so it syncs all the files on bot macs and i don't have to waste time dragging files to different backups (i can also use files remotely when i am on my Macbook out of the office or downstairs etc), get a program like Crash Plan to make a backup of everything and then have a physical copy on my Lacie drive just to ensure i am safe every which way.
    The problem i have is that my macbook's hard drive is only 160gb and as i use a lot of large files my dropbox just eats up my hard drive and i can't use all the files i have on my dropbox. I have tried to think of lots of ways around syncing but the way Dropbox works is exactly what i want to do. I have considered changing my plan and buying a TimeCapsule and use that as a home network then use Dropbox if i need anything out of the house. So i suppose my questions are:
    Do i buy a TC and use that for my home network to save on hard drive space and mean i can work in any room but still sync?
    Or, do i buy a new 1TB hard drive for my 2008 macbook so Dropbox can save on there and sync files?
    Or, buy a new macbook pro (only problem is the new ones use a flash drive which won't hold the dropbox), i can really afford this option either at the moment?
    Please help me out guys as i need things to just work as i am pretty busy and can't decide which to do to help me out...any suggestions welcome.

    Once you boot a computer from SSD you will never go back to mechanical disks ... at least for boot.
    Buy the biggest you can afford.. 500GB SSD are now around $270 here.. you don't need the best.. buy the samsung 840 evo. It might not last as long as the more expensive pro series but that does mean much for a 2008 laptop. You are stretching it already.
    I have a 256GB SSD in a 2011 MBP 15" with a high res screen I got on ebay cheap. It is a great machine.. or was until i put Mavericks on it.. I will take it back to Mountain Lion when I get a chance. I run an i7 mini also 2011 with the small video card they had..
    I got it cheap from ebay.. of course.. It has a 256GB sandisk drive.
      Media Name: SanDisk SDSSDH2256G Media
    I just got another one of these with the original 750GB hard disk and it feels so so slow.. you end up totally spoiled.. everything opens and closes instantly in the mini with SSD and the other one is so so slow. It is getting the new 500GB SSD.
    I have done a few of these now for friends.. it does end up costing more than a current model mini.. but other than missing USB3 which is a pity.. they are a great little computer. And with SSD only near totally silent.. it occasionally spins the fan up if it has been running hard for a while. I am getting old and grumpy and noisy rattling computer fans are more than I can stand.
    I have done some research into the Seagate SSHD and it seems that it isn't ideal for people looking to crunch larger files which would probably be me
    Yes, I warned you the SSHD is not much good for very large files.. Even so a modern 7200rpm drive should work a lot better.
    Note the DVD drive will be sata 1 so yes the SSD should replace the current hdd.

  • Need Help on Cisco Wireless Solution!

    Hello Netpros!
    I have some issues that probably most of wireless implementers faced after implementing a wireless solution. This is an actual feedback from the customer and These issues can be broken down to the following:
    1. The wireless Network is slow! (wireless performance)
    The customer has Airtight in placed and airtight reports that users are mostly connected to the wireless network on 2 mbps speed. Users also says that their network experience using wireless are slow compared to wired network.
    My question is what reports or guides that cisco wireless cotroller system or WLC can shows that proves the network is working as it is intended. Any guides on how to improve the user experience? Any guide from Cisco IT?
    During these slowness, what reports from WCS or WLC that can best shows the problems and helps us implementers to mitigate the problem?
    2. Baseline Wireless Performance.
    When asked about a baseline performance of wireless network, what reports from the WCS or WLC that can show this and what is the acceptable or baseline values?
    3. Is there a general guideline on how to use WCS or WLC reporting tools to troubleshoot a wireless performance issue? What reports to see? and how to translate that to say to the customer that the wireless network is under performing?
    The main reasons i am asking these questions is because i cannot find any useful documents in cisco that guides the wireless implementers on how to use the reports generated by WCS or WLC when it concerns the performance of the wireless.
    Most of the reports WCS generate that relates to the performance normally rounds up the AP performance, channel, noise, but how to translate that to user concerns is another matter.
    Perhaps these issues are partly due to user expectations or maybe the wireless setup need to be tweaked or even might requires a spectrum analyzer to pinpoint interferences.
    In either cases, I hope netpros can help direct me to good documentation albeit from cisco or other sources that can best outline wireless performance reporting using cisco wcs and wlc.
    Background information:
    The wireless network setup has one WCS, one location appliance, 4 WLCs and around 150 to 200 APs, most running Local and some running HREAP. Most of the issues concerns the local type APs.
    Thanking all in advance!
    maldin

    Yup,
    thats what we told the customer and even showed them the wlc/wcs reports.
    Unfortunately, these customers are lacking in wireless knowledge and they want a streamlined, documented steps to generate the reports and also to help them understand in laymen terms.
    At the moment we are formulating a holistic approach to the customer to get them understand wireless first, get them to have a policy and enforce and then drill down to management, reporting and troubleshooting.
    The thing is, the wireless is always working fine, but sometimes so it happens some bigshots unable to connect to the wireless network in meeting rooms or somewhere and the become jumpy and pointing fingers.
    So the IT manager wants to reduces the finger pointing by having the WLC/WCS to produce reports to them.

  • Enterprise wide wireless solution

    Hi All
    I got task to design enterprise wide wireless solution for my client. There are 50+ offices from 20-600 users. Offices are mostly connected as a hub and spoke by MPLS or VPN IPsec. Most of the office will have one or more WLC but some will have AP (H-REAP) only. User should be able to roam everywhere. Certificate must be deployed (EAP-TLS) on client and server. I’m not sure how to deploy Radius. Just primary and secondary centrally located or somehow distributed. Any suggestion re this whole scenario will be appreciated
    Thank you

    I agree with Stephen/Steve's post.  Get someone to do the design, pre-installation survey, implementation and post-implementation survey.  There are alot of things that can go wrong and there are misconceptions that need to be ironed out.  For example:
    There are 50+ offices from 20-600 users.
    Ok.  There's no biggie with the statement above.  But it will not "gell" with the statement below:
    User should be able to roam everywhere.
    Alot of executives believe (incorrectly) that WLAN roaming and mobile/cell phone roaming are synonymous.  This perception needs to be taken with caution.
    You have 50+ offices.  Ok, I get this.  Now unless you are going to tell me that the "open space" between each offices will be covered with your WLAN then there's no such thing as "roaming".  You will get the feeling of "roaming" when you are, for example, in an office with wall-to-wall wireless and you walk from one end of the building to the opposite end and you are still continuously on the wireless.  This is possible because your client was able to continuously connect to the same WLAN and the WLAN handed your client from one WAP to another. 

  • What wireless solutions does the video pod support?

    For a future webcast, I have a need to shoot a demonstration of chest x-ray equipment, suturing methods, and other "allied health" related procedures.  A simple webcam is not enough.  I have been looking at wireless camera technologies, and there are myriads (e.g., JVC's line of wifi camcorders).  But what type of wireless solution does Adobe Connect (version 9) support for the video pod?  Or what type of workaround?  And how?  I need to find specifications in order to purchase the right products to do the job. 
    I so appreciate your help in finding the right solution.

    No, that was the question I wanted to ask.  I've been hoping that some(one, how, where) would know of a solution that I envision as a portable webcam that sends video, wirelessly, to a type of base station that would connect to a computer with a USB hub.  Alas, there may not be such a species but I can hope.  Logitech came close with the Mac and iOS supported "Broadcaster". 
    You're probably right about using the Connect mobile app and a smart phone, and I have been pondering the same solution.  But this would involve equipment my university does not control, and students whom I would, in all candor, not want to rely upon.  But before I close this with yours as the correct answer I'm hoping that someone out there may have the "epiphany" I'm looking for. 
    Thanks, though; I value your opinion.

  • Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

    Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

    Hi Joao,
    The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
    The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
    Overview of WCS
    The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
    WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
    The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
    WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

  • WIreless solution with WDS/Active Directory/mutiple ssid

    I'm in a project where the mail goal is to implement a wireless solution for our company.
    I will try to explain our dimention.
    We want two kinds of wireless solutions based on the same AP, secure and unsecure.
    The unsecure is a "guest" net for Internet-access. We want a solution where the users have to contact our reseption to be given a username/password to access this network (same kind you find in airports, some hotels and so on). It has to be able to give a permanent access, access by the hour/day. Username/password can be random, but don't have to be.
    The secure is a "work" net for our company computer services. We want the wireless network to be encrypted (a good standard) and the computer itself has to have some kind of certificate. We also want the user to authenticate itself using Microsoft Active Directory.
    These two wireless networks should have their own SSID with different security levels. Both of them should support WDS.
    Can somebody give me some information on which equipment we need, what kind of server services needes and so on.
    The solution has to be robust, but of course the cost aspect is hanging over us as a ghost... ;-)
    Regards
    Eirik

    Guest solution and secured wireless solution is very much possible with Cisco Unified wireless solution. The document available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008070ba8f.shtml explains how to setup guest and internal WLAN in a network. This should help.

  • Getting existing wireless solution working with Windows 7 client

    A bit new to this so need some help
    I have been asked to do some innovation around an existing operational wireless solution.
    Setup is;
    1. Wireless client - running Juniper Odyssey client. This authenticates user on logon to Windows using username / SecurID token / pin. Configuration via WAP / TKIP
    2. Cisco Aironet Wireless Access Point
    3. Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN controller
    4. Cisco ACS v4.1 - configured as RADIUS server with connection to external RSA Authentication Manager 6.1
    As part of a transformation programme I have been asked to investigate whether this existing wireless infrsatructure will work with Windows 7 as the client operating system. Also to look whether the wireless functions in Windows 7 will allow the Odyssey client to be removed.
    I am unsure what client if any I need to install on the Windows 7 client in order to try and get this working. Do I need the VPN client from Cisco, the RSA EAP client or will Win 7 allow me to do this.
    Any help appreciated.

    I am still struggling with this concept of suplicants
    I have tried to set this up with the wireless capabilities in Windows 7 to no avail. I see that Windows 7 only supports certin EAP types - how can I find out what my EAP type is on the ACS server?

  • The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    The Norton Toolbar 4.6 is disabled in Firefox 4 while it is working in previous version of Firefox. In Firefox 4 it opens with massage Norton Toolbar is incompatible in firefox 4. Is this problem have any solution?? pls tell me.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

    hi there,
    I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
    I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
    All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
    This is the mac unit I have.
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB

    Thanks for you time.
    regards

    You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
    Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

  • Meraki vs Cisco Wireless Solutions

    Can anybody out there share any information on company called Meraki? We currently have a Cisco wireless solution but our administration has suddenly been looking into Meraki as a replacement. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks...

    I actually have both product sets running- our main campus network has over 3,000 APs (Cisco) and we have a 6-month old Meraki installation on our London campus with 35 MR16 APs. While our lightwieght Cisco deployment has been mostly fine on the client-facing side of life, we have had a lot of angst with controllers (we've been in the game since 2006 on LWAPP/CAPWAP, with hundreds of Aeronet fat APs prior) and various code versions through the years. I also follow the industry pretty closely as an IT writer, and so have watched the likes of Aerohive get more interesting (also controllerless) and architectures like Motorola's WiNG 5 greatly de-emphasize the controller. Personally, I've become a lot more open-minded about the cloud and cynical about the expense and grief of controllers. But it's far from black and white- there is no "this is clearly better than that", especially when you've got a wild mix of client devices that just want the network to work and could care less whose label is on the AP.
    Bake-offs have validity, but more so (to me) on the "how easy is it to administer" perspective than "will it work for clients?" front. Both our Meraki and Cisco environments nicely serve our clients in dense environments- if they didn't, they wouldn't stay in business. The interference detection and reporting is somewhat overmarketed (again, my opinion) as often interference sources are fleeting and you can't possibly react to every one. Meraki has provided a lot of for things like rate limiting, firewalling, a great guest portal (I can't speak favorably of Cisco's guest portal at all, and BlueSocket has the absolute best I've seen yet) that our Cisco controllers don't do without help from outside boxes- but if you already have those boxes you may not care. I do take Cisco to task on really clunky debug in the CAPWAP world, and there are often gaps between what you can do with WCS/NCS and what you have to do on the controllers directly. The point? Again, it's just not black and white.
    For me, I would certainly go with Meraki again for deployments up to a certain size- like a few hundred APs- as one who is living the Meraki life currently and cringes at the price controllers fetch. It does flawless with 802.1x and has a pretty robust feature set in it (not sure why someone above is saying it doesn't)- if you need it. I've had zero problems since putting Meraki in where as I can't wait to get rid of my WiSMs in favor of 5508s (but really wish cisco would provide a VM-based controller like Bluesocket does), but both products have warts at times on the UI. Things I've griped about Meraki was quick to address or put on the short road map, Cisco not so much but eventually they resond to enough grousing. (Yes- my opinion only)
    Enough rambling- I'd say visit customers that have both, and don't discount either until you do. Cisco has market share, Meraki is part of the interesting new guard that dares to do things differently. They both work, but you have to find what's right for you.

  • I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time  Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on  what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and  how to configure that disk

    I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
    Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
    what other
    external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
    how to configure that disk.
    A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
    Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
    Machine is not backing up my files
    on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
    is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
    the Fusion virtual machine.

    If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
    You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas  series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
    Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
    TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
    You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows.
