Hardware :: Running Wireless N And G Simultaneously?
Sep 11, 2009
I currently have 3 computers in my house.. 2 macs and a windows PC. The two macs are capable of running on a wireless N network... the PC on a wireless G.. I am currently running a netgear router at wireless G..
My question: I have a Airport Express which is capable of being a wireless N base station.. Is there anyway I can run my macs on wireless N through the Airport Express base station and my PC on wireless G through the Netgear router? I don't need for my PC to talk to any of my macs.. just need access to the internet..
I am fairly sure the airport express defaults to the slower of the devices connecting (G or N)..
I installed windows 7 on Basecamp but I can't figure out how to configure it to work wirelessly with my airport base station. Is there a specific driver to install? If yes would it be on apple or windows website? If this helps I'm using an AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x93) card that came with the MBP.
I cannot seem to connect to the wireless connection when running bootcamp. It says something like the signal is too weak or whatever, but when I run it on OS X, it works perfectly fine.
I just bought my MacBook Pro 13.3 inch and it is amazing. I just have one problem. The net is running very slow on wireless. I have a NetGear router that has always had PCs. It works fine through Ethernet.
I am having a huge issue with my wireless dropping once connected to my MacBook Pro (Model A1278) 13.3". Wireless connections are not dropping on my iPad/Laptops/Iphone. Running Leopard 10.6.8 and have updated everything. It started about a month ago and is inconsistent in terms of how long I stay connected, but never more than 10mins. Luckily I run an SSD and can reboot in 10seconds.
I just got an iMac running 10.6.1 And I still have a Mac Mini running 10.4.11, which allows me to access several apps running under Classic. I'd like to still access them on the glossy new monitor, with the wireless Magic Mouse. Since the iMac has no monitor input port, how do I hook up a KVM switch? Which brand do you recommend?
1. MAC OS X iAtkos 10.5.7 updated to the latest version. 2. GygaByte GA-EP43-DS3L 3. nVidia GeForce 8500 GT 256 Mb 4. Nec AccuSync LCD 223WM (LCD 23 ") 5. LaCie Electron 22 Blue IV (CRT 22 ")
Problem: When connected to two monitors, one of them displays a welcome screen, and then both turned off.
Hoping for some help with this I would like to use my macbook and a Dell monitor simultaneously controlled through an external keyboard/mouse. What do I need to set this up?
I want to double the amount of "screen space" and use a keyboard and mouse for both.
I want to hook up two external webcams to a Macbook or an iMac and be able to display a live view of both camera images at the same time.
It doesn't matter if the live view is a single app showing both cameras or two separate windows, as long as both images can be viewed simultaneously on the desktop.
Can anyone recommend the hardware (webcams) and software I would need to accomplish this?
I read a post recently? about a program which enabled you to open two finder windows simultaneously, one above the other. Does anybody know the name of this program or can they recommend similar.
I want a widget that displays the current temperature in C and F without having to keep going to the options to switch over. This is just so I can get a feel for Celsius and Fahrenheit differences
I have a Canon 9950F scanner and an external G-Technology 1TB HD. I connect them through Firewire (800 for the HD and 400 for the scanner) and can use either of them separately with no problem, but recently I tried to use them simultaneously and found out that turning on the HD while using the scanner interrupts communication with the scanner. This happens with both a 2008 Mac Pro or a 2008 MBP.
Apple says this could be caused by the Canon scanner driver. Canon says it is an Apple problem. I can get around by connecting either peripheral through USB but I prefer to use the FW connections (800 for the HD and 400 for the scanner). Any thoughts?
I am looking for some software for mac that allows me to record from up to 4 webcams at one time. So far I've only found this one called EvoCam, but I don't feel like paying that much and it's got way more features then I need so it's not worth it. I don't mind paying a bit of money but 95% of the features in EvoCam are useless to me.
I guess my question is has anyone attempted or tried say put 2 graphics cards in the mac pro and install osx on one separate hdd and vista on a separate hdd of its own and simultaneously run both os on each of the monitors. Wouldnt that be cool?
Recently, my 14" iBook running tiger 10.4.11 has been acting really strange.
First, my bookmarks toolbar disappeared from firefox. Tried reinstalling, but now firefox crashes while launching, every time. I have deleted all related files, reinstalling different versions, same result.
Trying to learn to live without firefox, I now find my other apps crashing randomly and simultaneously. I will have 5,6,7 apps crashing in one go, each popping up with a message saying that the crash won't affect other apps Sometimes half the open apps crash, and the other half follows 3 minutes later
I've repaired permissions and zapped pram.
I did a complete formatting and reinstalling OSX three months ago, because of other quirks, nothing like this.
With an external HD that has both firewire and usb 2.0, is it possible to use both at the same time? Can you plug firewire into your MBP and USB into another computer or router? Just wondering if there are any downsides to this. I would hate to be sucked into a black hole by plugging in both at the same time!
I bought my Mac a few weeks ago, and now I have successfully installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. But what my question is, if it is possible to run both operating systems simultaneously without having to shut down computer and hold down alt to choose. For example, I want to be able to just press a key when I am in Snow Leopard, and it should take me to XP.
And of course from XP to Snow Leopard, while I still run programs on the computer. Is this possible?
I just had a quick questions that i've spent all day trying to research, maybe i'm not hitting the right key words. I have a wired xbox 360 and using wireless on my computer. The internet is a university internet that I put in an ethernet address to configure to. So I connect the internet from wall to time capsule. Anyways, Whenever I use xbox live I cannot hit my wireless at all. My iPhone cannot connect to my wireless at anytime despite xbox live or not. So it seems the case that one connection is being strictly devoted to. I have my time capsule on bridge mode, but haven't had any luck switching to shared or anything without errors. Is bridge mode the right setting, does anyone know if both connections can run together? It has always worked just fine for me but recently my time capsule broke and I had to get it replaced and since then I can't get things going smooth again.
Is it possible to project 2 different screens (not mirrors) and have the presenter display with both on the LCD with Keynote? I am using a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT) and Keynote '09.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.3), Keynote 09
just wanted to know if there was any way to: - Connect to my Time Capsule via Ethernet (no connection to modem) - Connect to Virgin Media Router via WiFi
I can't connect my Time Capsule to my modem (i did think of that lol), any advice would be appreciated Regards, skate71290
Is there a hard drive that i would be able to connect both to my mac pro and windows computer at the same time and be able to access them from both computers?
I want to view pages and text editor simultaneously, but every time I open one the other one closes (verses minimizes). I assume it is a setting issue.
