What disturbs me most about Apple's tweaking of the airport reception bars is that it implies that 4 reception bars on the iBook are no longer the same as 4 bars on the powerbooks.…

Mine has been fluctuating all morning--and I am five feet from the extreme base station. very annoying, and from what I can tell, the fluctuations bear no connection to my actual c…

The bars on my 1ghz ti are far more accurate than it was in the past.

Hmmm. I changed the channel on the base station, and now they are totally solid. I still can't tell any difference, either way, in throughput.

odd... at my desk at home, i've been getting a solid 4 bars (where i used to get 3-to-4), but at my girlfriends house, where i'd get 3 bars, i now am getting 1 or 2...!

I'm seeing a significant improvement on my 867 Mhz TiBook. I have my router in the basement on one of my house and before I could not get any signal upstairs on the other end of t…

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet using an Airport Extreme base station and a Powerbook G4 with Tiger. I'm able to connect wireless to other wireless connections, but …

When you're connecting to a home or office network using your AirPort card, your computer is not "connecting to the Internet." It's connecting to a LAN. You apparently have your …

My computer is configured to connect to the airport base, i've spoken to apple support and they checked all of the settings which appear to be ok, they used the same settings to su…

Have you considered reworking the base station's setup? If you're getting any sort of PPPoE message, (and you have the base station log you into your DSL connection) your base sta…

Hi all, I'm a complete noob to networking, and need some help! This is probably an easy scenario, but I'm confused what I need to buy for one part of the network, and I need to k…

Anyone???

You plan looks good to me. I don't think the WRT54GC will bridge to the Airport Express, but the WRT54GS5 should. Chris

I think you want the wireless router downstairs, connected directly to the ADSL Modem. The Airport Express should go upstairs and be uplinked to a hub or switch. If you had an Airp…

Nice diagram!

I just installed a Belkin 750VA UPS and tried to use the Bulldog software (downloaded the latest version 3.0.4). It disconnects before I even login, and I can't get it to see the U…

Did you try using the UPS without the Belkin driver? All but the very oldest versions of Mac OS X (as well as Mac OS 9.0.4 and later) have built-in support for USB UPSes. tooki

That's what I thought, but when I uninstalled the Belkin software, I didn't see any UPS options in System Prefs. Maybe there's something wrong with the UPS?
