Routers for dsl

I have dsl hook up for my emac, however there are two other computers in the house and we bought a router and tried to hook it up and were unsuccessful in getting the internet to connect on my emac, is there a certain set up I need to do in order for my emac to be connected through a router rather than directly to the dsl unit? Please help.

What DSL device do you have? As I just posted in another thread to another user, if you signed up recently, you may already have a DSL modem/router combo unit, maybe even a wireless one. Does it have an antenna?
Do you have an airport card on your eMac or are you using Ethernet cabling?

  • Looking for a way to optimize firefox for dsl

    i recently switched from cable to dsl.
    during the setup a small app from at&t tweaked ie8 to optimize the browser for dsl.
    ie8 now loads pages faster than firefox 3.6.8!
    is there an add on or set of tweaks that i can apply to optimize firefox ?

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers
    Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

    Be careful with extensions like Fasterfox that make significant changes to network prefs. Not all sites may work well with such tweaks and by making too many connections to a server you may annoy administrators and get banned.

  • Solaris 8 config for DSL

    I want to reconfigure my standalone SunBlade100 for DSL service. The OS is Solaris 8 10/01, and is currently configured for dial-up access to an ISP.
    I've edited the etc/hosts, etc/resolve.conf, and etc/nsswitch.conf files, and I created an etc/defaultrouter file containing the gateway IP address.
    Sun PPPD 4.0 is installed, and includes PPPoE.
    My question is what else do I need to do in order to complete the configuration?
    Are there any good references for Solaris DSL configuration?
    Thanks in advance?

    Hello,
    I supose that its an errata but its /etc/resolv.conf and not /etc/resolve.conf.
    Your access internet via a router. I don�t know about DSL but if it�s a standar router you shoudn�t have to configure pppd, just a normal network access with the routing and the naming service properly configured.
    If you edit /etc/defaultrouter, the changes will take effect on the next reboot, so maybe you�ll have to add a route manually if you cannot shutdown the machine:
    route add default your_router_ip
    This way you should ping your router, if the routing is properly configured your dns server too (specifying it�s IP) and finally if the naming service is well configured, any Full Qualyfied Domainame on internet.
    Try this and post the results. Bye,

  • Using two wireless routers for two separate networks

    I have one WRT54G router and a newly purchased E2000 router that replaced the WRT54G . I have one DSL connection coming into the house.
    I have the DSL going directly into my main E2000 router which runs my existing wireless home network and it does this wonderfully. My son wanted the older WRT54G router to create his own network where he has it set up for his own purposes so I gave it to him. He has everything set up to where we have two functioning networks that do not conflict which is great however he ran an Ethernet cable from the e2000 to the WRT54G to make this happen. This cable is a problem since it basically is about 50 feet of ugly cable running up my stairs to his room. Is there a way to have the routers still work in tandem as they are now to manage two separate networks but to instead have them connected wirelessly and eliminate the existing wired setup?

    You would need a third party firmware like DDWRT to do that (it will void the warranty too)
    Or you need a wireless bridge like the WET54G or WAP54G set to bridged mode

  • Using 2 routers for only 1 network

    Hey,
         I am new to this stuff, so please guys explain in terms that will be easy for a novice to understand. 
    I have a qwest router connected to dsl.  It currently provides a wireless g signal and I have my entire house wired or wirelessly connected to my network( 3 DTV receivers, sony ps3, sony blu ray, laptop, computer,network drive, etc.).  I have a linksys wrt160n that I connected to my network and wanted to just have one network.  Right now it seems that I have part of my house connected to one network and the other part to the other network.  Both routers are connected to each other downstairs and I wanted to use the wrt160n for use (1 as a switch? and 2 a stronger better wireless signal that I can connect with my laptop and other wireless devices in my house). I have 3 directv receivers, sony ps3, and sony blu ray connected via ethernet cables.  I didn't need the powerline adapters this way, I recently finished my basement and ran the ethernet wiring throughout the entire house. So, everything, almost is connected to the one router, I ran out of ports on the back of my router, so I set up the other router and plugged it into the qwest router.  I have 2 wireless signals and 2 networks?  I think that I should be able to use the wrt160n as a switch to the qwest and also use the stronger, better wireless n signal throughout my entire house.  So I wont have my printer wirelessly connected to one network, while I am connected to the other.  This seems like it would be possible, is it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have been monkeying with this for some time and it seems as though it may be an easy fix.
    Thanks

    If you want to cascade both the router together and want to create the single network then,connect the quest router to the linksys router on the Ethernet port and change the ip address of the linksys router in the range of the quest router.

  • Two WRT54G routers One DSL Connection?

    Thank you for reading my request.
    Situation:  I have one Internet connection and I have need of two networks.  One filtered with OpenDNS and the other unfiltered.  I have a Speedstream DSL router provided by ISP for connecting to Internet.  I have two WRT54G's and would like to utilize them to form two networks.  The Speedstream is a router with a gateway address of 192.168.1.254.
    From that Speedstream (only one network plug) I would like to go to a 5port switch.  From that switch, I would like to configure the two WRT's to be two different networks (one using OpenDNS settings for filtering) with one having a 192.168.1.x address scheme and the other (no Internet filtering) having a 192.168.10.x scheme.  Both would have DHCP enabled for their networks and the Speedstream would have DHCP disabled.  There is not a need (at this point) to have the networks communicate.
    Is this possible and if so, is there some semblence of a walkthrough for it?
    Thank you again for reading my request.

    Yes, this setup is possible. As long as the modem will be able to support more than one connection, then you may connect the 2 routers thru the switch. 
    The only thing that I see as a possible concern is about double NATting. If ever there is a need for you to open any ports in the router, then you will have to do double port forwarding or open a port in both the router and modem.
    You may check this link how to cascade routers (follow Cascading a Linksys Router to a Linksys Cable Gateway with Internet-to-LAN Connection):

  • Need help!! for DSL Modem to airport

    My brother (hes in SC I'm in NY) called looking for help and I can't figure this situation out. SO I'm here for all the help here
    He has DSL line. Into a modem that is all a DHCP NAT distributer. He has an Airport Extreme dual band and wants to set it up so the Guest network works. It is currently setup in Bridge mode.
    So far I have failed in figuring this out. If we turn off the DSL modem as DHCP, and setup the Airport to be a DHCP - it doesn't have the internet. We haven't even gotten to the Guest part yet.
    I know I'm asking a lot but is there some setting I'm missing?
    Once DSL modem set to not be DHCP, so I use the Airport WAN port or still just into and ethernet port?
    Thanks. I am posting this first before I goggle. Thissite usually faster and right.

    I would think that the Gateway device (combo modem/router) might have an option to reconfigure it as a bridge, but without any information on the exact make/model of this device I can't offer much advice. Most non-AirPort routers typically use a web-based interface for administering them.
    The AirPort must have NAT enabled for it to provide a Guest network. Only one option; Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address, will do so.

  • Is there Any way to pay for faster Upload for DSL?

    Keep in mind that I'm ignorant to the way these things work so if it's not possible for a technical reason then I wouldn't know. So yeah, the question, is it possible? 768kbps up is just too slow for me when I upload a lot of gaming HD videos on youtube. For 1080p at 8,100 kbps (cut down from 13,500 bitrate which yube doesn't even process it would seem) I get a file size of 900MB. I tracked the upload speed several times and I get up 300MB in 1 hour. Some can't even do that so I'm really not complaining I just want to go faster. Anyway, so a 900MB file takes 3 hours. If you're uploading a playthrough it takes a couple weeks. Sure cutting the bitrate to 5,000 and dimensions to 1280 x 720 will save 1 hour but  it's still a long time. Okay I'm rambling here.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Whether you can get more speed than you have today depends upon two things.
    1). Does Verizon have the Central Office Capacity upstream.
    2). How good (or bad) is the copper pair that connects you to the Central Office.
    Item 1 there really isn't anyway to know about.
    Item 2 you can establish by looking at your Tranceiver Statistics. You can get them by connecting to your Modem/Router (http://192.168.1.1 ) and loging in as the administrator. If you post those stats, there are people here who can tell you exactly what your copper pair should be capable of.  The quality of the pair is a fuction of both the age of the cabling, and the wireline distance between you and the Central Office.
    If your line can support a higher data rate, and Verizon has the backhaul capacity in the Central Office, Verizon will be very happy to sell you faster service.
    If the pair is good enough, you might be able to actually get 7+ mbps on the downlink, but that generally requires a pretty short copper pair (under a mile), and cabling that isn't a lot older than you are.
    The ultimate solution to this problem is to hope that FiOS is coming to you neighborhood soon. FiOS speeds leave DSL in the dust.

  • Using two routers for the same SSID

    So here's my story. I have a standard Actiontec router in my basment, connected straight to the coax outlet, and connected by LAN Ethernet to a crappy computer nobody uses. It gives off a WPA2 wifi network, let's call it MyNetwork. For the longest time it's been the only router in the house. The coax outlet is on a splitter, splitting the coax outlet into one wire that goes to the Actiontec modem/router and the other to my TV STB. Recently we installed a new coax outlet on the other side of my house and next to it we have a brand new desktop computer that we use often. It has no wifi so and we can't run an ethernet cable throughout the entire house so we got a new Actiontec modem/router from our neighbor who just moved out. It's the exact same Actiontec device.
    What we want to do is make it so that both routers give off signal on the same MyNetwork we have to make it a wider reaching signal, and so that I can connect the new desktop computer to the new router with an ethernet cable. I've read so many guides and they're all so confusing and it's such a mess that I almost completely screwed over my network. it seems like the two routers are completely independent of one another, not even aware of the others' existence. The new router is definitely in range of the old one. I've logged into 192.168.1.1 on the new computer and the new router seems to think it IS the old router (or so I think). It showed me all the same devices that have connected to MyNetwork and such, but then again it's always hard to be certain exactly which device is which. After messing around I must have changed some IP address or something, but it seems that 192.168.1.1 doesn't take me to the Verizon login screen, but 192.168.2.1 does. Can I reset those IP addresses?
    And of course, can somone please provide a clean, easy to follow course of action as to how to set up two routers on one network?

    I suspect it might be a good idea to step back reconsider your ultimate layout.  Essentially you now have two (or if the STB is also included, three) coax drops connected to the ONT.  It seems that you desire that one of these service the STB, and the other two each service a desktop and a wireless access point.  If this is the case, continue reading.
    There is no need to consider the original Actiontec router as the primary router, wireless or otherwise.  Use the new coax location to connect to the primary Actiontec router (you can use either router).  For starters, reset both routers to their factory defaults using the reset switch on the back of each device (for details, do a search).
    Once the primary router has been located (or relocated) to the new coax drop, just connect the new desktop there using an Ethernet cable connected to one of the LAN ports on the back of the router.  Then set up your primary wireless network based on this router (once again, do a search on these forums for specifics on setting up a basic wireless home network).
    Now use the original coax outlet where the first router was located to set up another access point.  This access point will provide Ethernet connections plus an additional wireless network (if it's still needed).  However you cannot have two wireless devices on a single home network with the same SSID (i.e., network name).  Here are details on some methods to do this:

    Take a careful look at these suggestions and references to decide if this is what you want.  Then report back if there are remaining questions.  Good luck.

  • Need help  - Ethernet question for DSL

    Hi, hoping someone can help me. We are looking into getting Verizon DSL internet, and don't know if we have the Ethernet specifications. We have a flat screen 17" iMac 1Ghz, Dh said he knows we have an ethernet connection but doesn't know about the card. What Verizon says we need is a "10-Base-T Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)". How would I find out if we have this? (We are not eligible for the 24hr online chat support and I don't want to pay $49+ for one question)! Thanks,
    Erica

    Tom & Erica,
    You should have very little trouble connecting with Verizon. I have multiple Verizon accounts and they have always been very helpful in getting you set up, even if they need to come out to test/adjust the line-in to your home. You will get a package from them which will include DSL modem, filters, cables and so on.
    Don't hesitate to call them for help in setting it up - BUT, tell them at your first opportunity that you are running on a Mac. They will switch you immediately to a Mac person who can walk you thru just about any OS configuration.
    And no I don't work for Verizon...Just Kidding
    GOOD LUCK
    John
    Oh, of course you will want to call Verizon and have them test the line prior to/or at the time of your order. They can do that while you are on the line with them and at no charge.

  • Best place for DSL wireless router to aquire strongest signal

    Hi all
    I have a Westell DSL wireless router sitting on a Kensington surge protection base with antennas pointing straight up. Is this ok? My wireless internet connection is ok for now. What's the best place for my wireless router for the strongest possible signal?
    Thanks for your help
    Web dude

    Place it clear of HVAC ducting and away from any microwave or cordless phone base stations(s) in the house - these are the primary causes of wifi interference/noise and signal outages. Consider the area you want to cover (including any outdoor areas) and place the unit as near the center as possible.
    Download a copy of AP Grapher and observe the signal quality in your intended reception area(s) to help place the router optimally for best signal and lowest noise, including rotating the antennas if needed - vertical is perfectly OK, but you may get marginally better signal or lower noise by rotating them.
    AP Grapher can be downloaded from http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/apgrapher/

  • Unable to configure PPPoE in Cisco 877 for DSL connectivity

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup a DSL connection with Cisco 877 as the CPE. The CLI does not list the option of PPPoE for protocol in the vpdn group config prompt. If i manually enter PPPoE as the encapsulation, the vpdn group configured vanishes from the config!
    Any clues? Has anyone got a sample config for a cisco 877 connecting to DSL through PPPoE. I followed the sample config in the TAC website giving the example for cisco 827-pppoe -DSL.
    Some more inputs - as soon as i connect the DSL line the ATM interface line protocol comes up but unable to see anything in debug vpdn or debug ppp auth. The router IOS feature set is Advanced Security services.

  • Two actiontec routers for WIRELESS use

    Hi-
    I have read the other threads that I could find re: two routers but they all seem to pertain to something other than what I am looking for.
    My problem: I have the FIOS big white box (is this the ONT?)  in my basement. I have the Actiontec router on the 1st floor in a room that is an extension (no basement access). I have an office in my basement and use the wireless from the 1st floor for interntet. The wireless signal from the actiontec used to be full blast in the basement but since I had the basement "redone" I now have literally no signal. My contractor thinks that maybe it is the double thickness drywall (soundproofing).
    I called VZ and they offered me a new router, so that is coming in the mail. However, I am pretty certain it is not the router as my signal in the rest of the house is excellent.
    Question 1) Can I hook ANYTHING to that big white box? Either my Mac that is down there via ethernet or a second Actiontec?
    Question 2) I would love to have wireless down there. Can I have a second Actiontec down there that has either the same or a different wireless network?
    Note: I do have a tv connection in my living room on the first floor. If it were possible to move my router to there and split the coax between the tv box and the router, I could possibly run a hardwire through the floor into the basement if that was the best way to get wireless down there again.

    I don't have much to add as far as solutions. (Looks like the others pretty much have that covered anyway.)
    I am curious though. Why did you put "redone" in quotes and why does it need to be soundproof? What exactly are you planning on dong in your, uh, office?
