Well, if it's 802.11G then it's not going to interfere with phones running at 5GHz. Maybe the device is reaching its end of life? I poked around in some forums and apparently there have been firmware updates for this device. Have you ever done a firmware update? Is this hardware supplied by you

Hi, the router is a Billion BiPac 7300G running 802.11G. Thanks again for the help. Max On 1 Apr 2014, at 8:24 am, Chris Blouch wrote: > What kind of router is it and can you tell what networking is it using > (802.11G or 802.11N)? 2007 is right about when the 802.11N routers came out > and ma

What kind of router is it and can you tell what networking is it using (802.11G or 802.11N)? 2007 is right about when the 802.11N routers came out and many of those were built using the draft standards which means they didn't get everything right. 802.11N also can run in the 5GHz range. CB On

Hi, I am reasonably sure that my phones are on 5GHZ band, so that shouldn’t be the problem. I am still having problems with the iPad continuing to play music. I called Apple but of course the problem did not occur when I was talking with them. Max On 1 Apr 2014, at 6:04 am, Chris Blouch wrote:

As some background, years ago I had an 802.11B or G router (can't recall which) that would drop connections when I used my particular Panasonic wireless phone. Apparently that phone ran on the same 2.4GHz radio band as the Wifi which is also the same band as my microwave oven. In other words, t

Hi, Nope. Your devices will just grab the signal they need no matter which channel is being broadcast. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Mar 27, 2014, at 5:43 PM, Agent086b wrote: > Thanks Tim, > the router is on channel 6. If I change it to 11, do I have to do anything to >

Thanks Tim, the router is on channel 6. If I change it to 11, do I have to do anything to other wireless devices using the network? Thanks again. Max On 28 Mar 2014, at 10:19 am, Tim Kilburn wrote: > Hi, > > It could have something to do with the signal your router is delivering, that > is,

Hi, It could have something to do with the signal your router is delivering, that is, B, G or N signal. If it is an older router and a newer iPad, they often don't like each other that much and this sort of thing isn't out of the ordinary. The other option is signal interference from things l

Hi, I have my Mac set to sleep after 3 hours. This is not an issue in this case as I was working on my computer and my wife was listening to music on the iPad. Yesterday it was dropping out after 15-20 minutes. Thanks for the help. Max On 28 Mar 2014, at 12:02 am, Tim Kilburn wrote: > Hi, > >

Hi, First, confirm that the computer delivering the Shared iTunes Library is not going to sleep. You can set those settings in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. Make sure that the computer never goes to sleep and that only the display goes to sleep. This should eliminate that as a

iPad drops contact with shared library

Hello, our iPad Air plays music happily for a time then just stops. It appears to loose contact with our shared library. If we restart the iPad we then can play music for a time. The iPad connects wirelessly to our network. The router I have was purchased in 2007. I am wondering if the router is
