RE: Airport questions

That would make sense And it would then use your ISP's router to push IP addressing out to all devices and through the bridge So treat the airport device like an access point. -Original Message- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries Sent: Monday, 11 November 2019 4:02 PM To: macvi

RE: Airport questions

Hi donna, Re the speed I'm not sure of but as for the change from TCp-IP to bridge, That makes no sense to me. TCP is related to where your device gets the IP address for the devices on the network, Bridge is more a device in the middle of the system. -Original Message- From: 'Donna Goo

If you use iTunes heavily or have a nice library. stay with Mojave. It is rare I may say this but, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. iTunes was fine until Apple broke it into 3 pieces. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. Wha

Not quite sure, but with newer Macintosh computers with the security chip, by default only the current MacOS and Windows can be booted into. This can be adjusted in recovery mode. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Nov 4, 2019, at 12:47 PM, 'Rob' via MacVisionaries > wrote: >

I have been waiting to upgrade also, mostly because Tidbits.com on the recommendation of Spam Sieve and others is telling people to wait as there have been instances where E-Mail gets lost in Catalina. I am running into an issue with AirPods and Mojave where VoiceOver stop

Hi Mark, not really a reason to update but one to wait for 10.15.2 or later: Using VoiceOver keyboard shortcuts in combination with Option don’t work anymore. Apple is aware of this and as far as I could find out they are working on a solution. That’s the only reason I haven’t updated my iMac y

Thanks, Tim. I will change the Airport to Bridge mode. When I checked the speed check, both the HomePod and sonos were playing. They are both on the first floor, while the Airport is on the second floor. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 10, 2019, at 2:39 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: >

Re: Airport questions

If the Bridged mode is what I think it is, it is probably because your ISP is using NAT and then your AIRPORT Extreme is using NAT. In some circumstances mostly when attempting to use VPN software, this double NATTING can cause problems. If you switch the AIRPORT to Bridged mode, then all of you

Re: Airport questions

Hi, For #1, it all depends on the location of the HomePod with respect to the Extreme. If it's in a different room, separated by a wall then that can affect the signal. Distance away from the Extreme can also affect the level of signal. Your HomePod will be connecting using the 5 GHz channel
