AirPort to AT&T Unite Pro (Netgear AirCard) - how to?

I just switched from a cellular based Internet provider (that used an "in the antenna" based modem that terminated in an RJ45 Ethernet cable) to an AT&T hotspot (Unite Pro / Netgear AirCard).
How does one set up the AirPort (TimeCapsule) to grab the AT&T hotspot signal (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz) to run through the AirPort? I have an extended network of Airport and AirPort Express units around the house and barn and simply need to get the baste AirPort / Time Capsule unit to grab the AT&T signal. For whatever reasons, since being dropped by the old ISP the AirPort doesn't seem to even want to be recognized by the AirPort Utility. Very confusing (not to mention frustrating).

With the proper setup, it should be possible to use a wireless Ethernet bridge for the communication with the Wi-Fi portion of the hotspot. The wireless Ethernet bridge could then be connected to the WAN port of a Time Capsule by cable. There are wireless Ethernet bridge devices from several manufacturers (examples include Linksys WET610N and Netgear WNCE2001). Some AirPort Express models can also be configured to act as a wireless Ethernet bridge.

  • Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
    Wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now try to configure the AirPort again.  If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

  • AT&T Unite Pro

    I have an AT&T Unite Pro that I use as my home internet.  Sure, the limit isn't huge but I have bought a dock for it (See: http://amzn.to/1OeN5lJ).  Since it's my home internet, it is always-on.  I currently have it bridged from USB to Ethernet on a old laptop, having the ethernet go into a normal wifi router to have a home network.  That being said, I have the unite pro running on the computer USB power only.  Was wondering if it would also run off just AC power on the dock also.  This doesn't damage the hotspot using AC power only with the battery out does it? As I'd rather not shorten the life of the battery having it charging all day.  Thanks!

    Ok, but running the hotspot on AC power won't damage it. Correct?

  • Airport gets weak on macbook pro

    All over the sudden my airport gets weak on macbook pro. Now I have to be very close to router to get steady connection. How to check if my AirPort is still ok and if is not, what should I do to make it better?

    I gave up the airport. I have EnGenius installed. Everything works perfect. Internet is faster than ever (with the same router). I am getting more and more disappointed about Mac in general. During the past 4 years I changed battery twice, the power cable once and I cannot use my DVD drive at all for a year already. Now Airport. It never worked well anyway.
    External things never get bad, it is always my MacBook Pro I have problems with.
    Should I assume that if I had PC I would have more problems to deal with?
    Now, I said that. I feel much better. Thanks for listening.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

  • AirPort Utility on a Mac Pro can't administer AirPort Extreme

    Hi,
    I have had an AirPort Extreme from Day 1 and have been happy with it with one problem:
    When I run the AirPort Utility on my Mac Pro I can see the base station but when I click on it to see the details and administer it it just sits there "forever" and doesn't open it up. My Mac Pro is connected to the AirPort Extreme via Ethernet, it doesn't have a wireless card in it.
    The utility works fine on my MacBook Pro C2D (Wireless) and Mac Mini (wired).
    Anyone seen this issue and maybe have a solution?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    If you have a PC, AirPort Utillity would probably be under Start > Programs > AirPort Utility.
    If you don't have AirPort Utility, you can download a current (and recommended) version from here:

  • I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and a Netgear VPN Switch for wired connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect?

    I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and also have a Netgear VPN Switch (FV5318) for internal wired ethernet connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect to each other?

    Tesserax, I would like to keep the Airport Extreme in nplace before the Netgear FVS318 switch because I am using all of the 8 ethernet outputs distributed to 8 differerent locationsl  This way I can just use one of the LAN outputs from the Airport to feed the FVS318.  Here is what I think I am hearing you say:
    Tne reason why the wired and wireless devices are not communicating is because the FVS318G is also a DHCP server and in conflict with the AEBS.
    To remedy the situastion here is probably what I need to do in order:
    1. Change the LAN IP Address of the Netgear FVS318G to be the same subnet of the Airport Extreme.
    2. Then, disable the Netgear FVS318G as a DHCP server.
    3. Make sure the ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Airport Extreme connectis to the LAN port of the Netgear FVS318G.
    4. Restart everything.
    Can you provide me the steps I need to take to get the right IP addresses from the Airport Extreme to put into the Netgear to fix the conflict?  I have the Airport Utility.  I also have two airport express hot spots, and two Apple TVs in addition to computers attached to the 8 ethernet lines.
    Thank you.

  • Will my new 100GB Summer Sim work with netgear aircard ac785

    Hello, I've just been on the phone to EE's technical support, and i was told it is NOT possible to plug-in the pay as you go SIM with the summer offer of 100GB per month into my Mobile Hotspot (netgear aircard ac785). Is this true? I've read confilcting posts on here. If it's not allowed, could i tether my laptop to my mobile phone then? Or would EE now block that? I don't mind paying for a data only SIM specifically for hotpots, but the maximum data is 25GB, not nearly enough.Many thanks in advance, cheers. Best regards, Carlstair

    That's fair enough, the reason i ask is i bought another operators unlimited data pay as you go SIM last month, it worked for a week and then they blocked it :/ .... Do you know how long they've been using it for? Cheers.

  • Airport Utility supported in Mac Pro??

    I have recently tried installing an Airport Extreme, but I receive the error message: "You cannot open the Airport Utility because it is not supported on this architecture"
    I have a Intel Xeon Mac Pro, running Mac OS X.4.10. Shouldn't I have the necessary hardware to connect to the airport extreme??
    Thanks!

    Ok, I got clarification. Now the story is (after I requested they send me written statement that my Mac Pro processor isn't compadible with the 802.11n technology) that my Airport Card (in the Mac Pro) is an older card that supports .N but won't work like the newer cards. So basically the internet connection will be non-existent and network connection will be random at best. I asked if I could go to the Apple store and get a new card and I was told that they would put a new old card because the airport card I have is specific to each machine. I was also told that the airport cards are specific to the machine and that my new iMac from Dec 08 will have a completely different airport card than the Mac Pro or a laptop. I asked if I upgrade to a new Mac Pro would that fix the problem. I was told maybe but it would depend if the Airport card was a new spec like the iMac.
    Bottom line, I'm getting the feeling that .N technology is overrated for my needs and I really need to hard wire my connection to the internet to get the performance and consistency I need.
    2 reasons I went to the .N Base Station:
    1) Reliable connection (getting bumped on 2.4 ghz connection)
    2) Hopefully a speed bump in connection speed over the net
    Here are specs based on speednet testing:
    Mac Pro
    5ghz (when I can connect)
    Download 1500 kbs
    Upload 510 kbs
    2.4 ghz
    Download 5500 kbs

    System Preferences/Accounts is where usernames and login behaviour are defined ...
    But before you rush to change anything there be advised that it's better if you create a new username and transfer your users folder data files across rather than trying to edit the long and short usernames you set up initially.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

    I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
    Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
    How do I rectify
    Paul

    you can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
    Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
    But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
    Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
    The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port.

    Well then when you erased your hard drive, your erased the Recovery partition, also.
    Use Internet Recovery to either restore from your Time Machine backup or reinstall the OS if you don't have a TM Backup.
    It will install the OS that shipped on that Mac. You can then upgrade via the App Store.
