WRT1900AC Does this device work?

I've had this router for about 20 days now and I'm convinced it simply does not work. At $250, it's the worst purchase decision I've ever made. I've searched this forum, but it sounds like my experience is like others... Unboxed unit, set it up. Updated to the latest firmware. Connected a device. Nice it works! Connected a second and third device... why is that light flashing orange!?! Why are my family member complaining they lost thier connection? Let me contact support. Okay, download firmware, factory reset, update firmware, unplug stuff, plug it back in.. turn it on. I'll disconnect devices too, so I dont hear any more complaints. Hey, it worked! Ten days without a reboot! Let me start reconnecting devices again.... Wait, why is it rebooting? More complaints! People, be patient! Seems to me the device runs really well if nothing is connected to it! When I start actually using the router, I'm right back to 12 hour reboots. I build my own computers... if this thing isn't really fixed soon, they'll lose a customer for life AND I will tell everyone I know to stay away from this company. (Belkin and Linksys) Any advise (beside returning this piece of garbage) is appreciated - Bill

Mines been working great for me using the lastest FW. Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch? Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

MiFi2200 does this device work? not kidding is this technology ready to go?

I received mine 11/5/2010, it is now 11/22 /2010.
First unit micro USB connector pulled off device, Second unit has been 2- weeks with tech support, 2-trip to store and tech support. Last trip they actually connected to YAHOO, I went home end it was as before not working. I tried it at a neighbors in next town and my brothers 10 miles away, all just says connected to secure VErizon. I have great phone reception (metro - NJ).
I suspect that store tech support just connected to local wi-if and told me it works, They previously huddled for 35 minutes around my laptop looking mystified.
So seriously, pls LMK before I keep this {word filter avoidance} Can I ever expect this device to work. I'm thinking that I should just go back to a proven technology.... Cable or gulp DSL.

Call AppleCare and tell them you just want to know if your iPhone is unlocked and if not, who is it locked with. If it is locked contact the cell provider and ask them what their unlock process is and complete it if you qualify.

Hard drive caddy - T61 - How does this thing work?

I have a 200gig hard drive on my T61. Since my computer has died twice in a year I want to have a cloned hard drive handy to insert and not miss a beat and not fuss with reinstalling everything.
When I bought the machine I also bouht a hard drive caddy...
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
I bought a SATA 500 gig hard drive and inserted this into the hard drive caddy.
I inserted the caddy into the CD drive area.
Now what?
When I click on "My Computer" I do not see the drive listed?
Do I need special software to make a clone of my hard drive on here? Recommendations?
I thought Lenovo had one that came with it, but I do not see anything?
Should "My Computer" see this drive with the caddy?
All advice greatly appreciated!!

Good advice, same as the Lenovo Tech support. Unfortunately it does not see the new drive there either...
Right clicked My Computer
Manage
Disk Management
(Only C: drive shows)
This is the way to initialize drives, a step before cloning apparently to set up a new drive.
I ordered a SATA to USB cable from Amazon for $28. Hopefully this will work were yet another Lenovo periferal has failed.
Very frustrated with Lenovo, definitely my last one. After buying 3 in a year from Lenovo even with a warranty all I get is attitude from customer service. One guy told me that backing up was the same as cloning.
For anyone with the same problem trying to clone, I believe you will need a 3rd party software to make a clone.
Norton Ghost - $70
CloneZilla - Free
1. Get Hard Drive
2. Connect new hard drive
3. Initialize new hard drive
4. Get third party software
5. Clone

HOW DOES THIS FORUM WORK?

I'd be interested to know how this forum works - are there any moderators who read the posts. I posted earlier today regarding a problem I have on my printer - it hasn't even been viewed.
Quite frankly I'm feeling extremely let down by HP recently. I've always been an HP printer fan but I'm starting to wonder if it really is worth ALL my time and effort - Epson reviews next on th list!!!!

Cook book techs.
Follow a logic tree and hope that the questions asked were for the actual problem. The real problem is that words mean things and if we each have our own meaning.
Freeze--- 5 minutes I see no change? 10 minutes? 2 days later the computer has not done anything?
Hangs up - - no change in 5 minutes? no change in 10 minutes? no change in 30 seconds? 2 days later the screen is different it turned it's self off.
hesitates - - no change in 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 2 tv shows later there is something different.
I am a patient person. Hesitates no change 30 seconds; hangs 2 tv shows later; and freeze 2 days later. Some one else may react differently 2 seconds for hesitates, 30 seconds hangs, freezes 31 seconds.
So the cook book teck may ask whats your problem give you 4 answers to choose from. And each of us may give different answers from our unique prospective. Me it was hangs up where the same problem may be a hesitation or a freeze to another. Of course then the teck decides to enter another answer cos she don't think you know what you are talking about....

How does this programme work?

can someone please explain step by step how this programme workes? The code was developed by ian.f.k
Attachments:
graph_with_jpg-bkgd_01052003[1].vi ‏33 KB

A JPEG file is read from disk and written to a picture indicator (Read JPEG File and Draw Flattened Pixmap). The size of the rectangle (right and bottom items of the cluster) is checked to make sure that it is greater than zero. This is done by converting the cluster to an array and the Less or Equal function creates an array of Booleans for each comparison. The array of comparison results is ANDed together to verify that all elements are not TRUE (each element is not less or equal to zero). If each element is not less than or equal to zero, the size of the picture indicator is set to the same size as the JPEG file. If any element is less than or equal to zero, then the size of the picture indicator is set to a default width of 50 and height of 50.

I have a customer trying to setup an ipsec tunnel with me and they are not sure if their device will support it and to be honest, i'm not sure either, but I am leaning towards no. I need a better answer than my gut feeling though.

Where do I include Exchange domain in Mail setup?

Our company is running Exchange 2007, OWA enabled, EWS is setup, Auto discovery is enable. The only thing I haven't got an answer on is whether Service Pack 4 has been installed. The server is set up with a domain specified but I don't know where to include that in the Mail Account Setup. Mail seems to be locating the server fine but it says username or password can not be verified. I can only assume that it's because I haven't included the domain correctly.
iPad (and I assume iPhone/iTouch) have a field in their setup to include the domain and a coworker is connecting fine with to the company server. Where is it in Mail? I have tried to prepend it to my username (domain/username) but it hasn't worked. I can't recall all the variations I have tried of this, but unless I have the domain first in the username field, Mail won't even connect to the server. I've been all over these boards and dozens more and I can't find any answers to this problem.
Any here have any ideas? Thanks,

I still haven't found an answer to this. Anyone else have any ideas. Still waiting to hear back from out IT guys about the service pack issues.
Is there any way to attach a screen grab to a post? Thought it might help paint the picture in case I haven't stated it clearly.

Hi. I'm having precisely the same problem. My Exchange account works like a charm on my iPhone, but all permutations of the same settings simply don't work in OS X Mail (v. 4.3).
Has anyone out there set up an Exchange account with a domain? Can you tell us where you put it to get the account to work?

Enter your username as:

This is standard practice for Microsoft if there's no place to enter the domain name.

Thanks Asatoran. That turned out to be part of the solution for me. The other part was changing the port I used for the SSL connection -- it was set wrong at some point, either because the default was wrong, or because I forgot I had changed it in troubleshooting before trying the slash the way you suggest. Anyway, the port number for some reason doesn't show up on my iPhone settings, so it didn't occur to me to tweak it.2.0 GHz MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4GB RAM

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

Auto update of time mode? Does this ever work?

Hi,
I have just received a Nokia 6700 and previously had the Nokia 6300 and noticed on both that the Auto update of time just doesn't do anything? I am based in the UK on the Orange network. Even when I travel abroad and with this setting enabled, my phone time is not updated automatically? My current settings is with this off, zone set to GMT and daylight saving set to +1. I think these settings are protected when auto time is switched on.
Is this something that Orange needs to enable or assuming I have a data connection, does it just sync with one of the internet time servers (as PC's have done for years).

It only works if the network supports it. It's a feature that has been in many phones from many manufacturers for years, but to most people it is useless.
I'm not sure if many networks actually bother with this feature. I'm fairly certain that none of the UK networks support it but not sure about t-mobile.
There is no way to sync the time with a server on a standard phone like the 6700. For that feature you would need a smartphone and an extra bit of free software.
