3rd party router before or after TC

Quick question:
If I connect G wireless clients to my old TC, the speed drops to G for all clients. Does the same apply to wired clients, i.e. if I connect one 100mbit wired client, does the speed drop to 100mbit for the gigabit clients as well?
thanks,
Tom

No. Each LAN port on the TC is self-sensing and will operate at the speed of which the connected client is capable of.

Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

Accessing secure sites with 3rd party router

I want to use my original router "Buffalo WBMR G54" with BT and have been for a short while but cannot access online banking or barclaycard online, works ok with home hub. Tried both firefox and IE8, pages just hangs on both browsers.
Any techies around know why this is please? My Buffalo worked fine as a 3rd party router with talktalk

First check your Firewall is not blocking SSL port 443.
This thread contains most of the information you may need to change you PC MTU value, I don't think the Homehub MTU value can be easily changed?

Buffalo WHR-600D & Youview+ 3rd Party Router

Hi,
I have just received my youview+ box and am unable to view the extra channels and BT sport using my Buffalo WHR-600D router.
The BT HomeHub does not have the extra functionality I need so am looking for the settings I need for my router to make it work.
Many Thanks,

Use express as a wifi extension wirelessly with 3rd party router

Hello,
I've just purchased an Airport Express. I want to use it to extend the wifi range to upstairs of my Virgin Media Superhub (downstairs).
I have read that you need to connect the two together with an ethernet cable if using a 3rd party router (not Airport Extreme or Time Capsule). I have connected the AE it to my macbook pro via airport utility wirelessly (without an ethernet cable) and the light is green and the signal seems to have slightly extended. So it seems to have worked for my MBP.
The problem is when I use it with my iPhone 5, despite showing up on the airport utility app, when I go close to the Airport express (upstairs) it doesn't improve the wifi signal at all and sometinmes lose signal completely. The airplay also works with my MBP but cuts out with the iPhone.
Is it possible to connect it wirelessly like I have done or have I just been tricked into thinking the signal has improved?
I'm currently running OS 10.8.5 on MBP and iOS 7 on the iphone 5.
I've tried to articulate this easily and I'm sure someone has already asked this but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The trick would be to locate the Express where you need more wireless signal coverage and connect it back to the SuperHub using an Ethernet cable.
You can run an Ethernet cable up to 330 feet or 100 meters with no signal loss.
If you cannot run an Ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the AC powerlines in your home. The theory here is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
Any computer/electronics superstore will have a selection of powerline devices on hand from which to choose.
I doubt that you would notice any improvement at all if you located the Expess close the SuperHub, and it might actually interfere with the signal from the SuperHub, so that location would not be recommended.

3rd Party Router and an iMac with Airport card

Could someone assist me in setting up an older flat panel iMac 800Mhz with a airport card to a 3rd party router (Speedport W 500V). It was really easy to set up the DSL etc when connecting to an Airport Extreme base station, however I have upgraded and trying to get conencted at my parents place, which have DSL but with the Speedport W 500V modem/wireless combo - any assistance to get the two connected would be appreciated.

Is there a SW tool similar to the Airport Admin
Utility which will allow setting and management of
the third party router?
There may be (probably Windows only) or you need to use a web based configurator. It will depend on what the manufacturer of your router provides.
The manual which came with the router (it may be in electronic form) should provide guidance on how to configure the router via a browser.

3rd Party Plugins Have Disappeared After OS X Mavericks Update

Hi. I'm have a bit of a panic here.
I'm a sound engineer and I use Mainstage 2 frequently to run all FX live for a variety of artists.
After reading forums with regards to the Mavericks update, I found no evidence of it causing issues with Mainstage of Logic.
HOWEVER, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks yesterday and Mainstage has decided to throw a massive wobbly. When I load up my show, it says "The plug-in named 'XXXXX' is not available on your sysem." It's done this for every single 3rd-party plugin on my machine so I basically have nothing! Good one Apple!
I restored my machine to a backup I took just before the OS upgrade. Guess what.......it's even doing it there now! It's back on Snow Leopard. I've been into the folders and all the plugins are there. For some reason, Mainstage isn't finding them. I'm at a total loss and about to throw this thing out the window.
Can anybody save me???
Thanks.
Jonny

Verified and repaired disk permissions but still no luck.
I thought Time Machine was meant to put the computer back to its exact state at the time of back-up?!
Anybody know if there's a UK phone number for an expert on Logic/Mainstage?!
Thanks.

Working with a 3rd party router

I have a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and wish to use it rather than the gateway (3801HGV) that was provided. I realize that At&t doesn't support 3rd party routers, so I thought I'd ask here.The current setup is: Gateway>Netgear>devices. The netgear is connected as a DMZ port on the gateway. They also have separate subnets. Gateway is 192.168.1.x and netgear is 192.168.2.x. The Netgear has the ports open for Xbox Live. I have 3 devices on the network that don't seem to be working correctly. Two of those devices are TV receivers (wireless and wired) and the other is an Xbox One. The wired receiver and Xbox are connected to a Gigabit switch over by the TV. The TVs freeze and say they lose connection even though they show 10-30 seconds of the channel chosen.The Xbox is having issues keeping connected to party chat. Games and other apps work properly. To work on some troubleshooting, I connected the cables that go to the TVs to the gateway and the TVs are working properly, but I would like everything to be run through the netgear. I'm not the one who plays Xbox, so I am not yet able to test. Is there anything I can do to configure the Netgear or the gateway to allow all devices to be routed through the Netgear? Any help is appreciated.

As my thoughts has said, AT&T doesn't support sending IPTV traffic through a third party router. If you have a third party router that properly implements IGMPv3, then you may be able to do so, but understand that AT&T doesn't support it. I do not believe your router falls into this category anyway, so it's a moot point.
The symptoms of running your IPTV traffic through a router that doesn't support it is exactly what you've experienced, you get picture for 10-20 seconds after a channel change, then it's lost. I'm guessing that your issue is that you have only one Cat5e cable run between where the RG and router are and where a TV Receiver and the Xbox are and you need to run traffic for both over that same wire. Options are (a) get a Wireless Receiver, (b) use two VLAN with tagging capable gigabit switches to send the tagged traffic over the single cable, then separate it out at the remote switch.

Using a 3rd party router for Multicast

Hi all,
There’s a lot of feedback on this board about using third party routers with Multicast, so we’ve decided to put this information all in the one place for you.
NOTE: the workarounds below haven’t been tested by BT as we do not support 3rd party routers and we do not endorse any of them. Our recommended router remains the Home Hub.
With the above statement in mind, we know that a lot of you do choose to use other routers. The information contained here has come from fellow customers who have given their time to share this information in good faith. Thanks to all of the forum members who have helped make this information available to our community it is a great example of the wealth of information that a community can provide and we hope this encourages users to come back and visit us in the future.
A special mention goes to walkerx who has posted and prompted a lot of the provided information.
Hub configurations in alphabetical order:
Apple Airport Extreme
Put your Airport Extreme into Bridge Mode and turn the Home Hub's wireless off.

ASUS RT-N66U
You must configure 'Enable VPN + DHCP Connection' to 'No' under the WAN option.
Settings used were:
- Have router on the latest firmware: 3.0.0.4.374.130
- Use the following settings in LAN > IPTV:
- 'Select ISP Profile' = None
- 'Choose IPTV STB Port' = None
- 'Use DHCP routes' = Microsoft
- 'Enable multicast routing (IGMP Proxy) = Enable
- 'Enable efficient multicast forwarding (IGMP Snooping) = Enable
- 'UDB Proxy (Udpxy) = 0

Netgear R6300
Netgear R6300, but with the Home Hub 3.0 and 500Mbit Powerline adapters in the picture.
Modem -> HH3 -> R6300 -> Powerline -> 2 x Youview Boxes on other Powerlines.
To do this, configure the Home Hub 3.0 as 192.168.1.1, then disable its wireless and DHCP. Make sure that NAT and UPNP were enabled, and then set it to use the address 192.168.1.254 as a DMZ server.
Then configure the R6300 as the address 192.168.0.1, using the WAN IP address of 192.168.1.254, with 192.168.1.1 as the gateway and DNS server. The R6300 is then connected via WAN port to the HH3 Gigabit port.
In the R6300 settings switch on IGMP.
The above settings allow both YouView boxes to use on demand content and different streaming channels simultaneously, as well as giving the full features of the R6300 such as AC1750 wireless, network printing, and DLNA

TP-Link routers in general
How to configure Multicast on TP-Link routers (from the TP-Link website).
One of our posters also found the following:
He found that your router must be able to do the following for Multicast:
For an end user connected via Openreach GEA (FTTC and FTTH)
• The Residential Gateway will support:
– IPoE for multicast traffic and PPPoE for BB traffic;
– VLAN tag ID of 0 or no VLAN tag ID for multicast and BB traffic;
– Fork IGMP requests up multicast and BB paths.
For an end user connected to an MSAN (WBC copper)
• The Residential Gateway will support:
– A dual VC architecture;
– Accept TV Connect multicast traffic on ATM VP/VC 0/35 with IPoE and broadband traffic on ATM VP/VC 0/38 with PPPoE;
– Fork IGMP requests up multicast and broadband paths.
IGMP should v3 and will be in range from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

Changing router to 3rd party router

I've been thinking about upgrading my router to a 3rd party AC wireless router so I can use more of my bandwith on my laptop and other wireless gadgets. My question is can I change it and keep all my tv services. I was told I have to use verizon's as a bridge. If I can how would I go about doing it.

Check your new router's manual for how to put it into Access Point Mode. (most new AC routers just require changing a setting, some/ those without an explicit setting will require you turn off DCHP and make sure it is plugged in via one of its LAN ports ).* All your services will remain because your Actiontec will essentially be doing all the heavy lifting. You can even leave the WiFi on the old router on but I would recommend spacing out the channels to prevent interference. (also it is not very neighbor friendly if you live in an apartment)
Bridging the Actiontec is only needed if:
You have a pretty old one and want to do a lot of torrenting/ gaming (the older ones have small NAT tables ... I think any of the ones over 100,00 should be fine for most)
You want to use some specialized features besides WiFi on your new router (its firewall, advanced management of the usb port, ect.... Access Point mode disables some of these features)
You have time to waste
You have so much heavy traffic/ devices on your router that the cpu/ ram of your new router will make a difference (unlikely)
Anyway, if you do bridge (and it is a fun little project if you have the time), you can create a double bridge which shouldn't be much harder to fix the On Demand problem**. It is option 5 of this guide: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077
*Just plugging the router in normally without putting it in Access Point Mode means all your WiFi internet traffic has to go through two routers to reach the internet. It will likely work most of the time, but it may cause unnecessary problems with devices on your network communicating to each other and also port forwarding which is important to a lot of applications.
**Only On Demand and DVR will go away with a regular bridge... Not your entire TV service. (possibly the tv guide/ on screen caller ID but I've heard from multiple people that is not the case)

3rd party plugins crash Premiere after restart.

Yesterday, everything worked fine. I have a Sequence with clips and have been happily rendering from it for a week.
It has a mixture of Magic Bullet Looks, Film Convert and native effects across a range of clips.
Today, on opening Premiere I find that if any of the 3rd party plugins are enabled I can't render - worse, they crash Premiere.
I have not installed anything or changed anything since I was last using Premiere. I installed an update to the Creative Cloud desktop app this morning, but that was after I started having these issues.
I have tried restarting Premiere numerous times.
Rendering is fine with native Premiere plugins.
System:
Win 7 Pro
Core i7 950
12gb RAM
Quadro FX3800
Running Adobe CC, latest versions

It gets wierder. After the Creative Cloud desktop app was updated it said a whole bunch of programs needed updating so I updated Premiere.
On restart it now wont even recognise the .MTS files it was happily reading earlier.
Apparently it is now an Unsupported Compression Type, which it clearly wasn't earlier.
Windows plays the file fine so this is ANOTHER Premiere issue I'm having now...

3rd party authentication before ACS (TACACS+) auth

Dear experts,
I've been struggling to find out information on 3rd party authentication integration to the ACS. I know that ACS can use external databases, but this is not what I'm looking for.
I have someone, who wishes to use ACS for user authentication and at the same time develop real single sign-on to their corporate infrastructure. I have the product that can deliver this Single Sign-On, but thus far I've been able to reduce Sign-Ons to two (ACS and then Single Sign-On).
What I would like to know is, that can I implement a third party authentication _before_ ACS authentication. In this scenario the 3rd party authentication server would be the first point of contact. After successfully receiving the user credentials from the user, the authentication server would forward this inforamtion to ACS. So is there any kind of descriptions / API documentation on how to implement this? If this is possible, my customer could get real single sign-on to multitude of Intranet services and continue utilizing the ACS investment.

Here is a document on Monitoring and Reporting Tool Integration into Network Admission Control.

Airport Express and 3rd Party Router

I have a first generation Airport Express that I've been using for the past few years to stream music wirelessly to my stereo via my Belkin 54g router. At first I could not get the Airport Express to work with the Belkin Router but finally after posting on this discussion board, someone told me how to make it work.
Well, I finally decided to buy a new router with the N-protocol (Linksys E2000) and I cannot get it to recognize the Airport Express at all, even when I hook it up via ethernet cable. I cannot remember the steps I went through to get the Belkin router to work with the Airport Express. I hope someone can help me so I can get it working again.
Thanks,
Mark Brandenburg

Mark,
You need to "hard reset" the AirPort Express by holding in the reset button until the amber light begins to blink more quickly, hold another 3-4 seconds when you see this, then release the reset button.
Open AirPort Utility to reconfigure your AirPort Express to "Join" your Linksys wireless network. The AirPort Express should "see" the name of the Linksys network during the configuration, but the hard part is knowing exactly what type of wireless security that your Linksys router is using.
You must enter a matching setting on the AirPort Express to get it to "join" the network correctly, so you may need to check the settings on your Linksys router first if you are not sure of the exact security setting that it is using.
The other thing you need to check is to make sure that the Linksys is broadcasting a compatible signal so your older "g" AirPort Express will be able to join the network. If the Linksys produces an "n only" wireless network, the AirPort Express will not be able to join the network since it is a "g" device.

AX as remote WDS with 3rd party Router

Hi
I have a third party modem/router of which I would like to expand the wireless network with a new Airport Express
The router uses 802.11g so my understanding is that the only way to extend the network is using WDS
On the router I can enable WDS and scan for available access points. The Airport only shows up if previouslòy configured to create a wireless network, but not if is joined to the router current network, I believe this is expected behaviour but not sure.
If I enable WDS and add the Airport from the router config menu the Airport continues to distribute its own IP addresses (10.1...) while the router addresses are (192.168...) and no Internet available
I am sure I am missing some configuration on the Airport side regarding enabling as a remote WDS base station, I believe I can change the AX IP addresses to match those of the router(192.168...), also I have vague memories of needed NAT config as well... Doeas anyone have instructions on what needs to be configured on the Airport?
Many thanks
Francesco

WDS was never adopted as an official industry standard, so manufacturers were left to their own as far as the implementation of WDS.
The chances that an AirPort Express would be able to connect to a third party router using WDS settings are extremely small. Even if it might work, you will likely not be able to use any type of wireless security on the network.
Look over Apple's WDS instructions for connecting two Apple devices together to see if there might be a clue in there somewhere that you have overlooked.
Unfortunately, you may not even be able to "see" the WDS settings in AirPort Utility, since the instructions state than 802.11n devices like the new AirPort Express should not be used with WDS. Good luck!
