WMP600N - weak connection and low signal - Windows 7 x64

I bought the WMP600N because Linksys and Microsoft listed it as 'compatible' for Windows 7 x64.
My experience:
- unstable and weak connection
- pings to websites like google.com drops, average: 1 out of 3
- low signal, on the same spot my three years old HP-laptop with 'a build in wireless card' has full signal strength in Windows 7
- it works well under Windows XP (32 bit)
I'am convinced that drivers for the WMP600N are not ready for Window 7 x64. Linksys (or Ralink, which developed the chipset), please release a proper driver for the WMP600N!

I'm not sure about you guys, but I use WMP600N and running Windows 7 64bit without any issues. The driver that I'm using now is Driver Version: 3.0.2.0, Driver Provider: Ralink Techonolgy Corp, Driver Date: 6/19/2009. Here's what I did when I upgrded my wireless adapter. 1. Uninstall the original wireless driver from device manager. 2. Turn off the computer and phisically removed the wireless adapter from my computer. 3. Pop in the new WMP600N and turn on the computer. 4. Windows 7 then automatically detects the new adapter and intall the proper driver for it. Well, that's all I did. The whole process is very simple and straight forward.

Slow WiFi transmission and low signal power (Airport Extreme extended by Airport Express)

I am experiencing slow wifi transmission between my notebooks and my base stations and I am hoping someone can help me fix it.
My wifi configuration is the following:
1 Airport Extreme base station (acting as router, wifi "creator" and DHCP server)
1 Airport Express base station (connected to Airport Extreme with a LAN cable, set up to extend wireless network)
1 Lenovo T410 notebook with Intel Centrino Ultimate N-6300 AGN WiFi antenna (I will call this one "Lenovo"), connected to wireless network, running Windows 7
1 MacBook Pro purchased in 2009 (I will call this one "Mac"), connected to wireless network, running Mac OS X Lion
1 QNAP T209-II NAS, connected to Airport Extreme via UTP cable
Airport Extreme (AXTRM) is creating a 802.11n wireless network with WPA2+PSK security with MAC address filtering. The other base station, Airport Express (AXPRS) is connected to AXTRM via a UTP cable. AXPRS is set to extend my wireless network.
My first problem is low signal power. My appartment is 90m2 in size and is in one floor. It is a new flat with high ceiling and modern layout, meaning little walls, big rooms and wide corridors. Still my notebooks, iPhones and iPad can barely reach AXTRM when I am on the other side of the flat. This was the reason why I purchased AXPRS and placed it in the middle of the appartment. My notebooks are placed just on the other side of the AXPRS's wall (less than 1 meter of distance and a simple 10cm brick wall in between), yet signal strength is only at about 80% (measured on my Lenovo using Lenovo Access Connections tool).
My first question is: Is it normal that in a 90m2 flat with not unusual obstacles, I need 2 base stations and even then have a rather poor reception?
My second problem is even more disturbing. I think I have catastrophic transfer speeds via wLAN. It takes over 1 hour to transfer cca. 1GB of files (average size 8MB) from my Lenovo or Mac to my QNAP. My Lenovo is showing about 250kb/s transfer rate when copying files. At the same time, Windows 7 show connection speed 144Mbps. This mean about 18MB/s. I know these numbers are theoretical and that actual transfer speeds are lower. But hey, 72 times lower? Furthermore, if I copy files from my Mac and my Lenovo at the same time, transfer speed is slightly lower. On the other hand, if I connect my notebooks to AXTRM via LAN cable and copy files to QNAP, transfer speeds are a few megabytes per second.
To make things even more confusing for me: if I transfer files from the internet, I get download speed at about 700kb/s, which is quite in line with my internet download speed. I don't understand why transfer speeds within my local network are so much lower.
Therefore, my second question is: How to set up my base stations and my routers to get a decent wifi connection?
I hope someone could help me. If you need any more information, just ask. Thanks!

From my experience of setting up the Airport WiFi for family members and friends, I have learnt the following :-
1. Airport Express is not as good as Airport Extreme, for being as extender, the difference can be quite a lot.
2. There is always a dead cornor (bad reception) in a house
3. Even moving the Airport Extreme / AE a few inches, the performance can be improved quite significant
4. If possible, always choose 5G 802.11n than 2.4G, unless there are many thick walls.
My suggestion will be as follows :
1. Moving out the AEBS out of a closet, is a good idea
2. Always try to locate the AEBS in the centre of a area, instead of the two sides
3. Try to test the AEBS without an extender, and find the best location area (don't place on the floor, neither above 6 feet height)
4. After finding a best location, set the extender closer to the AEBS, and then moving apart from it (check the performance after every move), it is better that both devices can face each other.
5. I can't tell you the reason, and some people may not agree with me, the new 2013 Airport Exteme performance is better and may be is a good idea to replace your Airport Express, and use it to connect with your router, and old AEBS as an extender
6. Some Powerlinks (in case you can't use a wired ethernet connection between the two devices) work and some don't work with Apple Airport products, therefore, if possible, have an option to return them to the shop if they do not match
Good luck

SAP Content Server and Maxdb on Windows x64

Hello,
We currently run MaxDB 7.6 and Content Server 6.40 on Windows 2003 32 bit. We'd like to upgrade this to 64bit, preferably Windows 2008 R2. However, we would use 2003 x64 if necessary.
Does anyone know if this is possible and where we'd find the software and installation instructions? The information in the Service Marketplace / PAM seems a bit vague in this area (unless we're looking in the wrong place).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Philip.

I'm getting a very low signal from my Blackbird interface. The fire wire connection is selected properly and track recording sliders set. However the recording level slider in the lower right corner is grayed out. How can I get better signal?

I'm getting a very low signal from my Blackbird interface. The fire wire connection is selected properly and track recording sliders set. However the recording level slider in the lower right corner is grayed out. How can I get better signal?

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Remote desktop connection not working in windows 7 Pro x64 bit sp1 3389 port not working

i have still facing same problem in last two week in my system RDC not working . i have installed in my system windows 7 x64 bit Pro sp1 then i check 3389 port working or not in my system use the command netstat -a -o command in
command prompt but this is my bad luck its not woking in my machine after i have decide to change RDC listening port via registry i have change it 3389 to 3391 after restart my system, and
after again testing using same command but no any change again rdc not listening . After i have search this issue on search engine google bing and microsoft , i have found more solutions but i have try one
uninstalled two microsoft updates first is kb KB2621440 second is KB2667402 and after again restart my system and again installed KB 2667402 But not change i have already enabled Remote Desktop connection in windows 7 and select the option

stinger tools to scan my machine to remove virus but stinger is not found any thread in system. ihave already run this command in my system sfc /scannow Please Can you help me to fix this issue.

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

HT4628 My ipad and iphone connect and recognize wifi signal, but my mac pro running 10.6.8 does not recognize or list the wiifi signal as option, any ideas?

Hi,
In Austria, iphone and ipad "see" and connect to wifi signal no problem but mac pro in same room will not even allow me to choose the same wifi signal. It seems almost blocked. Havectried everything it seems by restarting, deleting preferred accoints, etc. software is updated but running osx 10.6.8
Thanks for any help!

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Windows 7 64 bit USB external hard drives lose its connection and stops working.

This is a very serious error for users of WIN 7 64 bit only.
I have read hundreds of posts about this problem an not a word about it from MS.
We have tested this problem on four different computers and three different external hard drives using Win 7 Ultimate.
Even tried the RTM version.
If you connect "Any brand" external USB hard drive to "Any brand of computer" using Win 7 (64 bit only) and try to copy a large file like a movie from the internal drive to the external USB drive it loses the connection to the USB.
We even reverted back to Vista 64 bit on two computers for testing but Vista 64 works fine.
This occurs on all computers with different USB drives.
We have tried all the suggestions posted and none work.
It seems from all the posts that other USB devices are also having similar problems with the 64 bit.
Below is a more about this problem.
http://windows7tipsonline.com/USB_Problem.htm
If anyone knows how to resolve this please post a reply here.
Thanks

The link only refers to USB problems with nVidia chips, so it's not a universal problem. I have Win 7 x64 RTM installed and I just transfered 2 4GB DVD files and 1 18GB backup file from my internal SATA drive to my external USB drive
with no problems - no time-out!
<text>Since nVidia chipsets seem to be the culprit, nVidia and the motherboard manufacturers need to be told about the problem so that nVidia can correct the problem and not
Microsoft. If it's a nVidia chipset driver/software problem,
Microsoft is not going to fix anything since it's not a universal problem.</text>
I think this answer is a smoke screen, here's why. The issue of a USB HDD losing its connection AND not being recognized on a booting Win 7 x64 in any of its incarnations is a Microsoft issue, not nVidia. I have three PCs (actually 4 but one is in storage so
doesn't count) to see firsthand what happens with this issue. One, is a maxed out Toshiba with Windows Pro x64. Every now and then, it asks to format any number of my USB drives. I have Seagates, Iomegas, Western Digitals, and an OLD Maxtor. The Toshiba OS
will from time to time claim the Iomega and WD drives need formatting or have a wrong parameter etc. It doesn't do this with the Seagates or Maxtor. does the Tosh have nVidia chipsets? Yes. OK, now I attach these dives to my Dell Inspiron run by Windows Vista
Home Basic and intel Graphic Chip. The HDDs fire up right away. OK, I stick them into the ASUS G75VW-RS72, a DTR notebook on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. The machine has nVidia chipsets. Sometimes the HDDs fire up right away (Maxtor is never a problem), sometimes
they don't. What do I do? Unplug, replug-sometimes works sometimes not. Turn off the computer, turn it back on-sometimes works sometimes not. Unplug and put into another USB port-sometimes works sometimes not. Unplug and leave unplugged for anywhere
from 10 seconds to half an hour-sometimes works sometimes not. Switched to different external enlosure or the same or different brand-sometimes works sometimes not. Remove the HDD and put into a NetStar portable dock with its own power supply(http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/295).
Result? The computers NEVER, not EVER, even ONCE demonstrated an issue with the drive. Other times, I remove the HDD and employ a converter (http://www.sabrent.com/category/hard-drive-enclosures/USB-DSC5/). Result? The computers NEVER, not EVER, even ONCE
demonstrated an issue with the drive. So I think the evidence suggests Windows is finicky and Microsoft is passing the buck on this.

How do I connect and detect a high frquency pulse (0-3500hz) with a variable pulse voltage (0v low,5-10v high), on a SC-2345 connected to a PCI-6224?

How do I connect and detect a high frquency pulse (0-3500hz) with a variable pulse voltage (0v low,5-10v high), on a SC-2345 connected to a PCI-6224? Labview doesn't generate a waveform if I try to graph the signal, and my analog input doesn'y recognize that the signal is even pulsing, only that it has a voltage. Some advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Garrett

Hi Garrett,
It sounds like you want to do Frequency Measurements of a signal that is somewhat digital.
There are two ways you can really do this:
Wire your signal to the counter input and use the Digital Frequency examples (Help > Find Examples > Browse > Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Counter Measurements > Digital Frequency)
Continue taking analog measurements and use some sort of logic to determine where you are getting rising and falling edges.
I would recommend doing method #1, but you must determine which one is the best for your system.
If you want to connect to the counter pins then you will find the
terminals located on the side of your SC-2345. If you don't need
to condition your signals then simply wire everything into the proper
pins for your counter (below).
