Are the apartment's interior walls brick? That would be a difficulty for any wireless system-not a fatal one, but a difficulty nonetheless. However, an AirPort Base Station comes…

Yes, the interior walls are brick as opposed to the 2x4 and drywall construction in the US. The router should be able to cover the two main rooms of teh apartment which are next to…

I am not saying use Sveasoft or anything, but I have used it on 8 Linksys routers and all are running flawlessly. I will say, however, that by not being very careful and methodica…

It is probably nothing that you will even notice if you havent already. Linksys really did not care if you modded their product. Yes, they did not support it, but whatever made y…

Can you give an example of a few features that are locked out like this? It'd be nice if there was a FAQ on ths stuff.

Actually most of the functions you can get with third-party firmware are "advanced," not stuff most people want, need, or even know how to use. For example, you can crank up the o…

Wireless networking is done according to international standards. NOTHING about basic wirless networking-or wired networking, for that matter-is platform dependent.

All, Since installing a wireless router (D-Link DI-624) I can no longer FTP into my remote web server. My setup: I live in the sticks, so I have a wireless internet provider (Mo…

You have to set the Mac you want to use as a FTP server to a fixed local IP address. Set the Airport TCP/IP prefs in the G4 as follows: Connect Manully IP address = 192.168.0.20 G…

[Sorry, I misunderstood. To FTP to your ISP set your FTP client to Passive Mode (PASV). If you haven't tried it already, try RBrowser: http://www.rbrowser.com/download.html whic…

I have my 12" Powerbook 1.33Ghz with Airport using a D-Link DI-624 with WEP password and have no problems. A friend said he had a more powerful router that I could use. It's an A…

I'll address WEP later. First, how are you entering the password in your PowerBook? The "WEP password" is really a key, and for the entire rest of the industry defaults to hexade…

I am guessing a few people have read his book and might be able to help me out with this challenge. For those who have not read the book, the challenge is to add a button to a pref…

You are passing registerDefaults: an argument that is a NSUserDefaults object, but it expects an NSDictionary. Look at the API here: http://developer.apple.com/documenta...isterDe…

I don't think registerDefaults: is what you want at all. That sets default settings — what will be used if the user hasn't changed any settings. It won't override preferences. You …
