Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Bridging from Wi-Fi to Ethernet is no trivial matter.  Typically the Wi-Fi 
device must be an access point.  In your scenario the only way to go is NAT, 
i.e. using the sharing method you actually described, which really ought to be 
working.  In Windows there are a panoply of different solutions, some including 
driver support from the Wi-Fi card, some just emulating the access point 
function in software.  But on Mac, alas, this is much less true.  And, 
honestly, that’s just as well, because software solutions are pretty lame and 
flaky anyway.

I would look at your router, yes.  Specifically, I would look at throwing it in 
the bin, and getting an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express, but that’s just 
my preference.  There are other approaches, such as HomePlug, which may very 
well do what you need without much of the expense (but with much more toxic 
effects on radio spectrum).

It’s over to you.  What do you want to do?

Need Pointers Regarding OSX Software Developement Environment (SDE)

[Bill Gallik]

Knowing that the underlying operating system in OSX is some version of UNIX, I 
have some quite detailed  curiosities about how to design, code, compile and 
manage software I may want to develop personally.

Specifically:

- is there a native C compiler available for OSX?

- are make/nmake available as well?
- are software management tools readily available?
- are GUI based tools accessible via VoiceOver?

I don't know, but Xcode can compile C++ just fine. I can't imagine it won't do 
C as well, but you can check on that. Of course, you can install any command 
line compiler you wish, and GCC as part of Terminal may still be included as 
part of Xcode (I never use it so don't know for certain).

Again, I'm not sure, but those would probably get installed with any compiler. 
I've never dealt much with C, sorry.

Xcode is free. It's big, a little over 5GB, but will let you play with C++, 
Objective-C, and Swift (see my note about C, above).

> - are GUI based tools accessible via VoiceOver?
Xcode is mostly accessible, though I haven't done advanced debugging, used 
breakpoints, or anything like that. I think Tyler and Barry have, so hopefully 
they can jump in here.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Thank you Brian for your help with this.  I really really appreciate it.

As for #2, the old laptop is definitely not getting an internet connection, nor 
a valid IP either.

You're correct about the receiver probably not having a built in dhcp server.  
This said, I don't know how exactly I'd confirm this.  Your theory does make 
sense though.  Although, if that is the case, then it doesn't exactly explain 
why it worked under both Win XP, and under Win 7, or, does it?

As for this ethernet cable, I don't think it's a crossover.

Chris.

  1.  you likely have a port on reciever which is not auto sensing so it will 
never connect to anything unless you use  a ethernet cross over cable since you 
are connecting to a computer rather than a port on a switch or router.

  that is the most likely cause.  While most gear is auto sensing, it is likely 
that your reciever is not.

  this would cause dhcp requests to time out since it can't get an ip from a 
router it can't reach.

  2.  to test the connection between your wifi and ethernet on the mac, plug in 
your old laptop and see if that gets an ip instead of the reciever.  I can't 
comment on this internet sharing thing as I have never used it but bridging is 
a fairly simple operation and should work.

  how is your ethernet interface on the mac getting an ip?  is that port not 
connected directly to the reciever?  if so, it should also not get an ip unless 
it is configured statically or your reciever has a dhcp server which I doubt 
because it is intended as an end point device and not designed to bridge 
anything.

  3.  for about 30 bucks you can get a proper bridge device.  this is smaller 
than my hand so could be placed anywhere which would bridge the ethernet on the 
reciever to your wifi network.

  so in order.

  1.  ensure you are using a cross over cable or that both devices on the ends 
of the ethernet connection are auto-sensing.

  2. connect something else to the reciever end of the ethernet connection and 
see if it gets an ip.  then you can test if the bridge is functioning properly.

So, here's the issue.  The receiver doesn't have wifi capability.  It's

Excellent!  I'll definitely give that a try.  My only question really remains 
is, do I have to use the utility to configure things, or is there a way I can 
log into the router as well via a web based admin interface?  Also, do you know

  When you get the Airport Express home, Launch Airport Utility and you'll see 
it in the list of additional devices.  I have a Time Capsule, so it detects my 
network automatically and extends it.  I don't know if this works with a 3rd 
party router though.  At any rate, it is a simple procedure to make the 
necessary entries inside Airport Utility to have the Express extend your wifi.

Brilliant.  I may just go that route, as to be frankly honest with you, I'd 
actually been looking at getting an Airport Express.  Would an Express work, or 
do I need an Extreme.
 If the Express will support extender bridging ability, then that's all I 
need.  Do you have specific directions on how to set the router up as an 
extender?  If it's not too expensive, I'll just go buy one come Friday when I 
get my paycheck, no worries.

I understand better now what you're saying to do.  that actually makes

I think you have to use Airport Utility to set it up; I do not know if there is 
a web interface.  There is no default username/password...It isn't secured 
until you do the setup.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I'm gonna try a suggestion given by a list member on another list I also 
posted to, as he/she might be on to something.  If that doesn't work though, 
then my next, and final resort will definitely be to get an Airport Express. 
I just hope it'll play nice with my Linksys router.  If it won't, then it'll 
probably take me two months to afford an Extreme as well as an Express.


I might also look into some hardware network bridges.  I knew all along that 
would work, but I was really trying to save the trouble of having to go that 
avenue.  It's beginning more and more to look like I don't have much choice 
though.

Bridging from Wi-Fi to Ethernet is no trivial matter.  Typically the Wi-Fi 
device must be an access point.  In your scenario the only way to go is NAT, 
i.e. using the sharing method you actually described, which really ought to 
be working.  In Windows there are a panoply of different solutions, some 
including driver support from the Wi-Fi card, some just emulating the access 
point function in software.  But on Mac, alas, this is much less true.  And, 
honestly, that’s just as well, because software solutions are pretty lame 
and flaky anyway.


I would look at your router, yes.  Specifically, I would look at throwing it 
in the bin, and getting an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express, but that’s 
just my preference.  There are other approaches, such as HomePlug, which may 
very well do what you need without much of the expense (but with much more 
toxic effects on radio spectrum).


It’s over to you.  What do you want to do?

ReadKit RSS app not clearing all read items?

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I regularly use Lire on iOS and ReadKit on OS X to read my RSS feeds. The way I 
have things set, any article I read (or mark as read) gets cleared, so that 
when I open either app, only articles that are new will appear. However, 
ReadKit has randomly decided to hang on to a bunch of articles, and the "clear 
read items" command that has, in the past, cleared all the read items, is 
suddenly clearing all read items except these. It's not a huge problem, and 
Lire is re-downloading these items, it's just kind of strange. Has anyone run 
into this, and is there a way I can clear these articles? I use Feedly to sync 
things behind the scenes, if that matters. Thanks.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Then, how do you make sure it's detecting your Airport, and not someone elses 
by mistake?  I don't think anyone else around here has  one, but just in 
case...  Is it one of these things, I'm gonna start by connecting it via 
ethernet, not wifi?  If so, then that answers my question entirely.

  When you get the Airport Express home, Launch Airport Utility and you'll 
see it in the list of additional devices.  I have a Time Capsule, so it detects 
my network automatically and extends it.  I don't know if this works with a 3rd

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Jeff Berwick]

When you go into Airport Utility, you will see an option for devices not on 
your network.  It will be a hexadecimal name (I think) and you click it and 
then edit it.  You'll go through the setup process like that.  Anybody else' 
Express will already be configured, so it won't show up for you--I don't think. 
 At any rate, I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

Re: Need Pointers Regarding OSX Software Developement Environment (SDE)

[Tyler Thompson]

Alex is pretty much dead on.  Xcode is your best bet for an accessible GUI 
based tool that will compile in C/C++. make/nmake are theoretically available 
but you’ll need a wine wrapper, see this stack overflow post: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3483146/using-nmake-on-osx 
 

Xcode also comes with a set of command-line tools that you’ll need if you’re 
determined to write programs in C.

Now to expand on your question a little I would say it really sounds like 
you’re wanting to just write software on the mac. While you can definitely do 
this in c and c++ you’ll find it much more efficient to use Objective-C and 
(when they work out a few more kinks) swift. Xcode is hailed as one of most 
advanced IDE’s available and the fact that it’s free certainly adds to it’s 
appeal. My advice would be to think of OS X as it’s own operating system rather 
than UNIX with a skin on top. Yes it’s technically true but if you take it as 
it’s own independent platform and treat it as such while you’re coding you’ll 
find it works smoother and responds better than if you try to treat it like a 
UNIX machine.

Re: Need Pointers Regarding OSX Software Developement Environment (SDE)

[Barry Hadder]

Just install Xcode and you will have a complete development environment.  Clang 
is now the native C/C++/OBJC/Swift compiler for BSD systems   including of 
course  OS X.  The BSD project abandoned the GCC tool chain because of a 
revision in GPL version 3.  That being said, you still get flex and bison with 
the Xcode command line tools.  You can still install gcc through macports or 
home brew.
Xcode is  totally accessible to vo but quirky.

Cross imaging?

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

This question has been briefly discussed before, but not in very great detail.

Here is my situation.  I own a copy both of Carbon Copy Cloner, as well as 
Super Dooper.  With these type imaging apps, is it possible to do a cross 
restoration?  In other words, let’s say that I make an image of my mac mini.  
Could I then, in theory, turn around, take the external hard drive which I 
backed the macintosh HD up to, plug it into my macbook, and boot successfully 
to it, and copy it back over to the macbook’s internal drive?  I totally get 
that I could image the mac mini backup on to another mac mini, but can I cross 
restore from one model device to another, or will I then run into driver 
hardware issues?  I’m just not sure how OSX does that as far as drivers are 
concerned.  Does OSX only install the drivers needed for your set hardware when 
you do a clean installation, or does it actually install all drivers for all 
model systems, but then only use the ones that it actually needs?  I hope my 
question makes sense what I’m asking.

Chris.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I guess, here is my ultimate question:  what are the differences in the 
Express, the Extreme, and the Time Capsle?  I’m considering which I want to 
get.  I know the Express would work for my purpose, but I’m wonderring down the 
road if having the Extreme or what not might be beneficial over having this 
Linksys router.  I love my Linksys, don’t get me wrong, really I do, and seeing 
it was a birthday gift last year to me, I won’t get rid of it, but I just 
wonder if I could expand the functionality of my network from the bigger 
picture if I had an extreme instead of an Express.

Also, I do a lot of audio production work, and therefore need a ton, and I do 
mean a ton of hard disk space, as my work is all uncompressed.  OK, yes, I’ll 
eventually compress to an mp3, but not right away.  Anyway, my point is, would 
it work for me to get a time capsal?  I hear that even though those things are 
mainly used for Time Machine backups, do they have to be?  In other words, 
theoretically, could I use the storage drives on the device as  just that… 
storage drives?  Then, connect to them over the network in my Finder from any 
computer in the house?  If so, that would be absolutely brilliant!

Re: Which macbook

About XP, yes that’s true, but its the only OS I’ve found that is already

I only ask because unless you absolutely need to put windows on the mac, 
there's no use for it.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Tim Kilburn]

Chris,

Your scenario should work as you outlined.

1.  Make sure you have an active Wi-Fi connection to the Internet on the Mac.
2.  Make sure Internet Sharing is not checked.
3.  Set the Share from pop-up menu to “Wi-Fi”.
4.  Check the Ethernet checkbox within the ports table.
5.  Check the box to turn on Internet Sharing.

A few things to note.  This is normally done the opposite direction whereby 
your Mac becomes a make-shift Wi-Fi basestation, but the above scenario does 
work.  Changing the order of your network services shouldn’t be needed as when 
your Ethernet port is configured for Internet Sharing, it will automatically be 
pushed down from the top of the list.  The DHCP service is handled through the 
Mac itself and will assign a 192.168.2.* IP to whatever devices connect to it 
via ethernet.  A crossover cable is also unnecessary as the Mac will take care 
of any necessary port switching.

I have performed this operation numerous times in the “Mac becomes Wi-Fi 
Basestation” model, but did test the “Mac becomes Ethernet Bridge” model that 
you appear to need, and it did work properly as well. One thing that you may 
need to confirm is that the ethernet port is the only port checked within that 
table.  Sometimes, you’ll find that Bluetooth is also checked, make sure it isn 
not and that no others are besides ethernet.  If the Bluetooth PAN port is 
checked,, it will take precedent over the ethernet port, and since it doesn’t 
have a connection, ethernet will get the self-assigned IP.

Now, the suggestion by Jeff of using an Airport Express is actually a more 
reliable method in my opinion.  You can connect the Express wirelessly to your 
existing network, connect the receiver to the Express with the ethernet cable 
and you’re set.  This also allows you to use the Express to stream iTunes music 
to your sound system either with a digital or analog cable.  I also agree that 
the Airport Extreme to Airport Express is even better, but this will work with 
your existing router.

Later...

 At any rate, I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

 When you get the Airport Express home, Launch Airport Utility and you'll 
 see it in the list of additional devices.  I have a Time Capsule, so it 
 detects my network automatically and extends it.  I don't know if this 
 works with a 3rd party router though.  At any rate, it is a simple 
 procedure to make the necessary entries inside Airport Utility to have the 
 Express extend your wifi.

Re: Which macbook

[sadam ahmed]

Hi, 

I’ve recently upgraded from the clasic MacBook Pro 13-inch to the Retina 
MacBook pro  mid-2014  with 512GB and 8GB of RAM. 

Absolutely loving the difference! 

If there’s an Apple Store close to you try to get some hands on  time with the 
Mac portables.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Jeff Berwick]

The main difference between the three, as I remember, is:

1.  Airport Express is simply an extender,
2.  The Extreme is a router and wifi and,
3.  The Time Capsule is a router, wifi and disk drive.

I suspect you can use the drive as a regular drive, but I'm only using mine for 
time machine backups, so can't really say for sure.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Actually, the base functionality of all three devices is the same.  The 
Express, the Extreme and the Time Capsule can all be used as routers, thus, can 
serve as your connection from the Internet to your home network.

the Time Capsule is actually just an Extreme with a built-in HD.  Yes, you can 
use it as a network storage device, but you’ll use up space that would normally 
be used for Time Machine backups.  I’ve found the time Capsule to be a little 
expensive for what you get, so in my network, I have the Extreme with a USB 
connected HD.  I was able to purchase a 4 TB HD, connect it to the USB port, 
and the computers think that it’s a Time Capsule when you set up the Time 
Machine backup schedule.

Regarding the Express,it has a less powerful processor in it, so, it cannot 
handle as many devices and won’t process whatever’s happening quite as quickly. 
 If you have less than 10 connected devices, you may not notice any difference, 
but it is there.  The bonus feature of the Express, in my opinion, is the 
ability to stream digital quality music to your sound system.  When configuring 
the Express within an existing network, you can have it extend the network or 
simply join it and provide other services such as streaming..

So, as I mentioned earlier, I like the Extreme to Express scenario as it is a 
fast, reliable network that handles my internet needs, my music streaming 
desires, my Apple TV streaming, and keeps everything secure though it’s 
firewall abilities.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Yes, Time Capsule is definitely very pricey, but I ended up buying one anyway 
because the USB port of the Extreme is only USB 2 and I could easily saturate 
the bandwidth to it over gigabit Ethernet.  If this isn’t really a concern for 
you, then using an Extreme together with an Express is a very awesome setup.  
You can turn your DSL modem into a bridge and handle your Internet connection 
on the Extreme, extending it with an Express, and providing two remote Ethernet 
ports over WDS.

Hello Myrna and Kawal.
No, the watch itself does not have braille support, but you can
control most, if not all, aspects of the watch through the iPhone app.
Myrna: I think the store on west 14th is my favorite in Manhatton,
followed by the one up by Central park. I was a bit underwhelmed at
the store in Grand Central.

Continued issues with Safari

[KristeenHughes]

Hello All,
I ran Clamsav yesterday and got one message that an infection was found. It was 
some kind of a fishing filter infection and came from E-mail. I deleted it. 
However, Safari still comes up with a window every time I open a page. It says 
that it sees I am a comcast customer and asks me if I am worried that my OS10 
machine may have security problems. It gives me a toll free number to call. 
Does anyone know why this is coming up and how I can stop it?

Well one problem I'm noticing with the Watch and Braiolle is that now
none of my notifications are coming to the phone. They all come to the
watch, but since there's no Braille support for the Watch they'd be
lost altogether if I couldn't use the speech. I lov ete haptic
feedback that I have a notification, but it's a little harder to get
to them on the phone now.

Re: Continued issues with Safari

[Grant Hardy]

I’d be tempted to simply back up your data, erase the hard drive, then 
reinstall from scratch, making sure you are careful and selective when 
restoring from your backup. You only want to restore personal files like 
documents and music, but not applications, preference files or anything of that 
sort. Otherwise, you could become re-infected. I know this sounds overkill, and 
is certainly opinion-based on my part, but you really don’t know what malware 
might be on your machine and what it is doing behind the scenes or what it has 
tampered with. Be sure in the future to only install apps from legitimate 
sources, like the App Store or from a trusted site. When installing apps from 
outside of the App Store, try to download directly from the app developer and 
avoid large download repository sites as they often bundle unwanted adware with 
your download. Finally, if you’re asked to download unexpected security 
software that you weren’t expecting, like while browsing in Safari and reading 
Email, close the window in question and don’t download the software as it is 
likely not legit.

If you don’t want to wipe your system, you could try running AdwareMedic, which 
can be downloaded here: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php. Note that I have 
never had reason to try this app myself, but I believe it is a fairly well 
trusted source. The author has also written out manual removal instructions for 
the malware included in AdwareMedic’s definitions, in case you don’t want to 
install the app. But again, I’d wipe your system if at all possible.

The author of AdwareMedic has also published a guide on Mac malware, which can 
be read here: http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg/

Good luck,

Grant

Re: Which macbook

[Grant]

Hi Devin, if you’re going to use VMWare to virtualize Windows, you don’t have 
to mess around with the Windows Setup. VMWare can install Windows for you. You 
supply all the needed information such as your desired username in the VMWare 
interface itself, which is fully accessible. Shortly thereafter, Windows will 
boot up and you can immediately fire up Narrator. In fact, since you can share 
files and folders seamlessly between Windows and Mac, you could immediately 
open up File Explorer, browse to the setup program for your desired screen 
reader, and run it. It’s really quite elegant, actually. It is probably the 
easiest way of installing Windows that I’ve ever encountered. Going with 
Windows 8.1 will make sure your system is as secure as possible, as security 
updates are no longer being offered for XP.

Re: Problems with Safari

[KristeenHughes]

Jonathan, I tried your fix, but when I went back into Safari after turning my 
WIFI back on, I received the Mac support window and a man named Jake began a 
live chat with me. He asked me if I was experiencing problems with my Mac as a 
Michigan Comcast customer. He told me he was there to help me but recommended I 
call the toll free number. I didn’t know I was having problems and don’t 
understand what’s going on. I will open a page and in the middle of the regular 
links on the page this link appears for Mac global deals and a link to close 
it. I do that and then I get the Mac support message, which until Jake tried to 
chat with me has always been a loop I couldn’t get out of unless I force quit 
safari with command+option+escape.

Re: organising by threaded conversations on Mac

[Grant]

Hi Daniel, there isn’t really a setting for doing this, but if you change your 
verbosity level to low, then “disclosure triangle” will no longer be announced. 
You’ll then simply here “x conversation collapsed” or “x conversation 
expanded”. You can set this up as an activity that only runs when you’re in the 
mail app.

Re: Seeking Recommendations for Check Writing Software

Hi, 

My question regarding Checkbook is: Can you print checks from it? I thought a

supported. I believe at the time that there wasn’t any Mac app that had that 
feature. That’s one reason why I have BootCamp installed on my Mac. JMO.

Re: Major trouble with internet: Warning: not for the basic user!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Tim,

I presume that I need to go in on my router and set its subnet to use 
192.168.2.X instead of 192.168.1.X for all things.  Right?  I say this because 
I did precisely what you said, and it doesn't work.  The only thing I can think 
is to change that subnet.

Let me look up with Linksys smart wifi how to do it.

Chris.

  Chris,


  Your scenario should work as you outlined.


  1.  Make sure you have an active Wi-Fi connection to the Internet on the Mac.
  2.  Make sure Internet Sharing is not checked.
  3.  Set the Share from pop-up menu to “Wi-Fi”.
  4.  Check the Ethernet checkbox within the ports table.
  5.  Check the box to turn on Internet Sharing.


  A few things to note.  This is normally done the opposite direction whereby 
your Mac becomes a make-shift Wi-Fi basestation, but the above scenario does 
work.  Changing the order of your network services shouldn’t be needed as when 
your Ethernet port is configured for Internet Sharing, it will automatically be 
pushed down from the top of the list.  The DHCP service is handled through the 
Mac itself and will assign a 192.168.2.* IP to whatever devices connect to it 
via ethernet.  A crossover cable is also unnecessary as the Mac will take care 
of any necessary port switching.


  I have performed this operation numerous times in the “Mac becomes Wi-Fi 
Basestation” model, but did test the “Mac becomes Ethernet Bridge” model that 
you appear to need, and it did work properly as well. One thing that you may 
need to confirm is that the ethernet port is the only port checked within that 
table.  Sometimes, you’ll find that Bluetooth is also checked, make sure it isn 
not and that no others are besides ethernet.  If the Bluetooth PAN port is 
checked,, it will take precedent over the ethernet port, and since it doesn’t 
have a connection, ethernet will get the self-assigned IP.


  Now, the suggestion by Jeff of using an Airport Express is actually a more 
reliable method in my opinion.  You can connect the Express wirelessly to your 
existing network, connect the receiver to the Express with the ethernet cable 
and you’re set.  This also allows you to use the Express to stream iTunes music 
to your sound system either with a digital or analog cable.  I also agree that 
the Airport Extreme to Airport Express is even better, but this will work with 
your existing router.

Re: Which macbook

[Grant]

Hi Devin, when you press COMMAND+N to create a new virtual machine, the option 
should be offered fairly early in the wizard once you browse to an ISO file. It 
should give you the choice to use "easy install". This is the automatic install 
process that I described. Now, when I tried the first preview build of Windows 
10, VMWare didn't support Easy Install for Windows 10 yet as it was still so 
new. You had to do the installation manually. However, with the latest update 
to VMWare and the latest build of Windows 10, I believe it should now be 
supported. Let me know if this works. Check for updates first and make sure you 
have the latest version of VMWare Fusion.

  The main difference between the three, as I remember, is:


  1.  Airport Express is simply an extender,
  2.  The Extreme is a router and wifi and,
  3.  The Time Capsule is a router, wifi and disk drive.


  I suspect you can use the drive as a regular drive, but I'm only using mine 
for time machine backups, so can't really say for sure.

it was a birthday gift last year to me, I won’t get rid of it, but I just 
wonder if I could expand the functionality of my network from the bigger

Also, I do a lot of audio production work, and therefore need a ton, and I

I’ll eventually compress to an mp3, but not right away.  Anyway, my point is, 
would it work for me to get a time capsal?  I hear that even though those 
things are mainly used for Time Machine backups, do they have to be?  In other

Re: ripping DVDs

[Juliette Swiler]

OK,
I got all the episodes ripped. But once I chose TV show under options for each 
episode, it shows one TV show under TV shows tab. So, when I clicked get info 
to fill in the information, it said editing multiple items. So how do I ensure 
that each episode is properly labeled? Do I put comas in between each name? Or 
am I not interacting with the right area? Thanks.

Re: my first night with the Apple watch - what NOT to do!

[Donna Goodin]

Actually, I like flicking through them.  Like I said, probably a subjective 
thing.  It depends on what I want to do, too.  the other thing I've done is put 
a lot of the relevant info on the clock face, such as battery info, activities, 
weather, and time.  Makes the times when I have to either go to the home screen 
or go into glances much fewer.
Cheers,
Donna

  The main difference between the three, as I remember, is:


  1.  Airport Express is simply an extender,
  2.  The Extreme is a router and wifi and,
  3.  The Time Capsule is a router, wifi and disk drive.
