I run apple’s mail app here and have never run into any problems with cox email services (residential or business). About the only issues I might have are usually something on their end and when they ask me what OS and client I am using, I always respond with windows and outlook. Since I know

If the range extender or the router supports bridging mode via the WAN port, then yes. Otherwise, it will depend on the device and it’s internal firmware. I have actually setup a router to do this very thing wherein it’s wan port was on a dedicated line to another router. That router was, in

Cox's email platform was recently upgraded, I'd check to see if you're using TLS instead of the SSL 3.0 and below. I would third the recommendation to get off of Cox's email platform, and I'm writing this sitting in Cox's Atlanta NOC. From what I've seen, our IT/Data side is moving away from

Power line networking is basically wifi over your power. If you have clean power then it's pretty good. If not it's worse than 3g. On Mon, Oct 14, 2019, 6:28 PM Carruth, Rusty wrote: > Well, I know someone who is extending his wifi from his office to his > house - WELL over ½ mile, and probably

Well, I know someone who is extending his wifi from his office to his house - WELL over ½ mile, and probably closer to 1 mile. So going next door should be not an issue, really. Think Pringles can antennas… On both ends. Not sure what else he uses. I’ll ask if you need more info.

Wireless is fairly strict, it's usually one client to one wireless association, even if using a client ethernet bridge inline - they usually only expect one mac address to pass (not if you have a client wifi bridge with 5 devices behind it). This is at least in the enterprise-world ala Cisco or

@Rusty Carruth — Ahh, I misunderstood what you were referring to. Actually, that first device is pretty much the same as what I mentioned originally — the Netgear EX2700, which is even mentioned in that page you referred to. So it looks like I’m on the right track. (BTW, you can chop off

The visual of that is pretty amusing, and yet possible if not awkward. I mostly include it for creating the means of being able to push a stronger signal to the endpoint. But it can also lead to an interesting understanding of what you can do with a wifi signal. My solution was to purchase the

My question is rooted in the fact that I don’t really understand what an “Access Point” can do — if they can serve as the source of an internet connection the same way as your cable modem’s internet device. It seems like they should. But there’s the question of how you log into them and set

Thanks but you can’t hook Pringle cans to things like Fire TV Sticks and Printers. :-) Here’s the crux of the question: If you have a WiFi range extender with an Ethernet port on it (that may or may not work as an Access Point), can you run an Ethernet cable from that range extender to the

If you Google cantenna you can get some very interesting research on long range wifi for cheap. The combination of that plus some of Eric's suggestions should be able to solve things for you. On Mon, Oct 14, 2019, 10:14 AM Eric Oyen wrote: > Um, > How about a high gain antenna (you can purchase
