How do I go about removing the child domain so that I can re-create the. I cannot add a new DC to the domain because it has no active servers to verify with. Try changing to one of those channels.I have a child domain that has no active DCs, the servers that the DCs were on have been deleted. Channel 1 bleeds up to channel 3, Channel 6 bleeds down to 4 and up to 8, 11 bleeds down to 9. While 802.11 channels are 22mhz wide, they are actually only 5.5mhz apart, so most bleed all over each other. You should only ever use channels 1, 6 and 11.

The other thing to look at is the channels being used by the wireless devices. Now, n networks can include AirTunes without the. Wireless cameras can also interfere with them. If you had an 802.11n router and 802.11n Macs, adding the pre-upgrade, 802.11g AirPort Extreme would have slowed your whole network down. In my house recently, we changed cordless phone positions and the WiFi went bad. try moving the unit, rotating it, moving the antennas, etc.Īlso, other items in the same area using the same frequencies can hurt the performance. To connect by Ethernet, assuming you have an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme in place. If you disconnect the Airport, does the MacBook speed up?Īlso note that the position of the antennas can and do make a difference. Connecting the devices by Ethernet usually gives the best result.

I can't help but wonder what speed the Airport is connecting to the Linksys at? On that Linksys, the speed of the link is the speed of the SLOWEST device that connects, so if it is connecting at a slower rate, everyone gets the slower rate.

So needless to say I'm confused as to why I can use a normal airport to connect his PC and/or the vonage device to my wireless network without problems, but not an airport extreme.

#BEST ETHERNET SWITCH FOR MAC AIRPORT EXTREME MANUAL#

I then tried to configure manually, but in manual configuration I don't get the option to join a network, instead I get the option to either create, or extend an existing wireless network, and if I tell it to extend the network and specify my wireless router, it says 'this network cannot be extended'.

and when it was all done it would hang upon reboot. When running the automated wizard, it asked if I would like to connect to an existing network, I specified the network, etc. Well turns out it's easier said than done. Enter a new name for the extended AirPort. The idea was to join the extreme to the network in the same manner we had done with the regular airport and hook both his laptop and the vonage device to the airport extreme via ethernet (just as we had done with the normal airport). Plug the other end into the WAN port on the Airport you want to use to extend the network.

We figured since the investment was the same we may as well return the normal airport and get the extreme (as an extreme costs the same as two normal airports).

#BEST ETHERNET SWITCH FOR MAC AIRPORT EXTREME UPGRADE#

we had two choices, to buy another airport (so we could have one for the vonage unit and another for his laptop), or to upgrade to an airport extreme. My router is a linksys wrt54g2.Īt the other end of the office is a vonage device that is not wireless, so to remedy the situation I purchased a normal airport, had it join my wireless network (which it did without a problem and it worked phenomenal) I then connected the vonage device directly to the airport using ethernet and voila, everything worked flawlessly and it could receive and make phone calls (faxes in this case since its connected to a fax).Ī few days later my coworker purchased a new apple laptop and noticed his wireless signal wasn't so great, so I disconnected the vonage device from the airport and plugged his laptop in, and found that his internet worked extremely well when it was connected to the airport. I need to connect a couple of devices on the other end of my office to my wireless network who's router resides in my room.
