I like lollipop a lot. I have it on my Nexus 5 phone (5.1) and Nexus 7 (2013) (5.0.2) tablet too. I can't tell you exactly what it is about lollipop that makes the difference, but there's a kind of quality 'feel' to it that I find appealing. On the Tab S 10.5 the upgrade from 4.4.2 to...

No suggestions? Ok, I'll experiment while my wife's away. I know, dangerous! I have seen others talking about installing other launchers on their phones/tablets and recalled that Google Now is a launcher as well. So I downloaded it from the Play Store and installed it on the Galaxy Tab S...

My wife is now the proud owner of a bronze Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet and as her in-house-tech-support I am now adjusting things in the tablet to make it meet her expectations. Her old tablet was the IPad 2 updated to IOS 7... It was running out of room and crashing fairly often. The...

azazel: their traffic is using UDP to traverse the network. Since they described it as having real time requirements that seems like a reasonable thing to me. ima: the question of VLAN's is moot at this point since it will take a major effort to re-create our network to make them possible...

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments and questions... I do recognize that I have given you limited information here. My knowledge of VLANs and the issues involved with them is limited and likely the source of the problem. Mea culpa. What I gather from the discussion is that...

Hi Jack, Its not editing, but video and audio capture and transmission. Cameras in one place and video/audio display in another. The real time requirement has to do with the way the equipment behaves on the network - it transmits a heart-beat and if not received in a given amount of time it...

I have a user who needs to use our LAN with some audio/video equipment that has some strict real-time requirements. Apparently our LAN is not meeting his needs and he has suggested that we create a VLAN to isolate a section of the LAN for his use. Now, while I am knowledgeable in things...

Thanks Jack, That's what I thought but wanted to make sure. ldw

Our church is just large enough that one WIFI access point will not do. Please imagine the following structure... cable modem / router __+ connects to a 32 port switch ____+ connects to nearby wired client systems ____+ connects to Access Point 1 _______+ connects to wireless client...

Thanks to both Jack and Emulex for your help. Now that I understand when to NOT use a router, and when to use and Access Point ... it leads me to another question.... which I'll post in a separate thread. Thanks again! ldw

Thanks for the help Emulex... What happens if I have two RT-AC66U's attached to the Cable modem/router, both connected by ethernet, both as APs? Let's say that the cable modem produces a network with addresses 192.168.0.x. Will the two AP's then be extensions of that same network? Or will...

I have an ASUS RT-AC56R at home and in the Administration tab it talks about 4 modes of operation: Router, Repeater, Access Point and Media Bridge. I'm confused on the differences between Router, Access point and Media Bridge... (I understand Repeater I think) the conditions under which each...
