4g Modem/Router

does verizon, sprint or ATT have a 4g modem/router that supports "Bridge Mode"

At this time, Verizon Wireless does not offer a 4G router. We do offer 4G modems, such as the LG VL600 or Pantech UML260 and the new VZW USB551L. 
Thanks,

  • How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

    I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
    I've made the following configuration:
    - fritz adsl modem / router
    - Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
    - Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
    - Lan-cable from TC to Mac
    - Lan-cable from TC to Printer
    When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
    I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

    You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
    The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
    But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
    Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
    Have I made the explanation worse??
    Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
    Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
    For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

  • Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router

    Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router
    1. I’m writing from a rural town in Southern Nepal, very close to India. I’m planning to create a new WI-FI network at a small monastery here.  Ideally, we will have two parallel wireless networks: the first network produced by an ADSL router/modem and a second network produced by another router in “repeater” mode.
    2. Earlier, someone suggested that, when I post a question, I should provide as many details as possible about the situation here.  Forgive me if there is “too much information”.  I have to make a trip to the US to buy new networking equipment, so I very much want to get this right.  Once I return here, I’ll be pretty much stuck with whatever I get in the US.
    3. The future routers will live next to each other in an office and could be linked by a cable (if this is the best route to go).  We do not wish to “expand” the network (in the sense of making a larger WI-FI network), but rather wish to simply have two networks, hence one ADSL router/modem and one router with the “repeater” function (out-of-the-box without any jerry rigging).  Both WI-FI signals need to travel approximately 100 (largely unobstructed) feet.
    4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX).  An Apple router would be ideal because my experience with Apple routers is happy: they are easy to set up, reliable, and secure. Moreover, we use Apple computers and iOS devices here (and the new AX has the “ac” thing which will be preferable as we replace old machines with new ones).
    5. Yet, from reading posts and having my prior questions answered on this website, it may be that with an ADSL modem/router, all the ease and happiness of the Apple ecosystem is lost: while Apple routers seem to connect with each other easily, problems appear to arise when users try to inter-marry our non-Apple products with Apples.
    6. Our current, super-crappy 2wire 2701hg-t (ADSL modem/router) covers the 100-foot distance without a problem when it is working and there is Ethernet flowing to us.  Frequently, our connection is very bad, and I may be unfairly judging the 2wire 2701hg-t.  But, based on user reviews on the America Amazon.com, the 2wire 2701hg-t is pretty terrible: first it is simply old and second, among other problems, it seems to have a poor quality power supply unit.  I do observe that it frequently seems to be recycling from scratch as if it had turned off and restarted.  In any case, we are replacing it since it may be about 4 or 5 years old.
    7. In previous posts on this forum, “LaPastenague” responded to some of my earlier questions about AX and ADSL.  Among other things, he pointed out that (1) line-attenuation may be contributing to our poor connection and (2) we must choose a modem/router that is suitable for “long lines.”  I’ve looked at our current modem/router statistics page; however, there are no statistics for line-attenuation or noise.  (As you will see below, my strategy is to get the “better” modem/router that is suitable for long lines.)
    8. Concerning our ADSL service, these are the facts I’ve gleaned from looking at the current router’s configuration pages:
    Connection Type: PPPoE
    Currently, the router is configured to use WPA-PSK security.
    Connection Speed: Incoming: 1024 kbps & Outgoing: 509 kbps
    (The following information may be unimportant at this time.)
    Broadband Link Diagnostics:
    DSL Synchronization: UP
    G.DMT Signal: UP
    PVC Connection: UP
    PPPoE Service: UP
    PPP Authentication: UP
    IP Connection: UP
    DNS Communication: UP
    9. The ISP (Nepal Telecom) doesn’t supply a modem/router; however, they do have a list of (at times ancient) hardware and hardware vendors:
    http://www.ntc.net.np/internet/adsl/adsl_vendersConf.php
    10. Concerning what equipment is available here, what I have observed is that generally the ADSL modem/routers for sale locally, and in the far-away capital Kathmandu, and in nearby India are often also available in the United States, but they are the cheaper, older models.  I will have to buy the new equipment in the US this year.  At a different institution nearby, they are using the TP-Link modem/router td-w89016 which they purchased locally, I believe.
    11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.
    Will this modem/router work EASILY with the Airport Extreme in the manner I’ve described?  That is, connecting the two with a cable and creating two WI-FI networks.
    12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755 
    13. In fact, does connecting them with a cable help alleviate some of the problems that can occur between the Apple device and the ADSL modem/router?
    14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)?  I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
    15.  Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered?  Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different.  But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
    16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
    I think there are a lot of good reasons to use an AX router. Of course, if it is just going to be very cumbersome then, we would be loosing one of the best parts of using Apple products.  So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple.   Apple can rest assured that I will buy other things from them!
    In that case, I’d likely buy a second TP-Link device to create a second network:
    TL-Wa801NP [AP Mode Multi-SSID Mode AP Client Mode Repeater Mode (WDS / Universal) AP+ Bridge mode (point-to-point / point to Multi-point)].
    Thank you in advance. Long live Apple!

    I am not sure if there are different interfaces but my 2wire does an excellent job with line info.
    I get into this from browser.. using main IP.. in my case 10.0.0.138/MDC
    In your case it should be whatever the IP of the 2wire is, followed by /mdc
    Give it a try.
    As you can see it shows vendor and loads of info about the line.
    I rate it the best domestic modem for line info.
    A good modem actually albeit a lousy router.
    MDC is the diagnostics and Management Console.

    You are not repeating.. you are simply setting up two routers which are interconnected, so one is dependent on the other.. ie one is your adsl modem router and that will take the main router function. Your second router is really not working as a router, but as wireless access point (and switch if you plug things in).
    That is perfectly fine. You are not roaming in this case since both routers are running different wireless names and networks.. but they are actually using same IP range.. all devices are on the one IP network with two different wireless access points.
    4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX). 
    Apple router is fine for this. Easy to configure out of the box.
    5.

    The problem arises when you try and interconnect using  wireless extend or repeater.. you are not using wireless to extend, you are using ethernet. Wired has no issues.
    11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.

    It is a good choice.. It should be fine considering how poor your line is.. this modem is proving to have a couple of bugs.. it does not handle torrents well but I would suggest your system is not being used for that purpose. It has some port forwarding issues. Again you are probably not going to overload it. 
    12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755
    Absolutely best.. only decent method. 
    14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)?  I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
    Bridge. Although if it gives issues there is another method, although rather complex to setup.. not something to worry about now.
    15.  Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered?  Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different.  But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
    Only the adsl modem has the ISP authentication.. it is the box that does the link. The TC just piggy backs.
    The passwords on the TC are for its Admin, wireless and disk access.
    16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
    For ADSL you must have the PPPoE authentication username and password.
    So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple.
    hmmm.. I am biased because I see the issues not all the good stories..
    The latest airport and Time Capsule seem to have a few pretty severe bugs.. if they happen to hit you, they are extremely hard to fix if you are in the middle of Nepal. And Apple service centre is a long long way away.
    I cannot answer your question from the point of view of a person on the ground in remote area. If the economics of the purchase works for you, great. Go for it.
    In terms of wireless coverage.. the Asus AC models or Netgear R7000 kill the Apple. Sorry but it is just fact.
    See reviews here.
    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/113-5-ghz-dn-c
    That is average.. if you look at the apple router in the worst location by changing the filters, it comes out worse again.
    I cannot post the URL to our local forum here.. (apple doesn't allow it). But in testing with apple clients the asus still beat Apple router soundly.
    Pure wireless range is not the only consideration.. but in a mixed environment and since the wireless on the 8980N is not too bad.. then buy Apple router for apple client devices makes good sense.
    Maybe the older Gen5.. or two of them.. would do a better job.. with a bit more tested and known hardware.
    One thing you do need to check.
    Routers from every other brand allow you to select country. Any country from anywhere in the world. Apple routers do not.
    If you buy an airport in North America it is coded to North America and offers just a few countries.. USA, Canada I suppose.. what else is North America??
    You cannot change it to Nepal.
    To get the one for Nepal you must buy the model that covers, South Asia I guess.. I am not sure which it is.
    See what the license information is for wifi in Nepal as it might be very different to US and therefore illegal for you to run it in Nepal.
    If only the whole world would just bow to America.. we could all follow the FCC regs..
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    This only applies to the Apple.. the TP-Link etc allows you to choose Nepal or correct country regulations for wifi.
    Buying modems has one tricky bit.. that the actual adsl ATM channel is different in different parts of the world. No modem is usually impossible to setup but some can be difficult if it is pre-configured for US.. this is easy to overcome generally as you can download a firmware for another locality, so you can have local settings.

  • F4580 and can't connect to new modem/router

    This printer was working ok with the old router but won't connect with new modem/router.

    Yup, this is expected.  You will have to re-install the printer.  Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page, run the installation and choose "Wireless" or "Network" when it asks.  You will have to temporarily use a USB cable to communicate with the printer.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Arup

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • How to use Airport Extreme to create a second wireless network with different IP addresses behind an existing modem/router?

    Hi,
    I have an existing modem/router from my ISP that does DHCP and NAT with base IP 192.168.1.1 distributed in the wireless network. I use this wireless network for our private devices. I could turn off the DHCP server in this first router, but there isn't a separate setting to turn off NAT.
    I want to connect my Airport Extreme (4th gen) to this existing router to create a separate wireless network for visiting guests, where IP addresses of 10.0.0.0 etc. are used. So I do not want to use the Airport Extreme in bridge mode, as I would like to keep the devices on the first network 'invisible' for those on the second network. (P.S. when connected in bridge mode, the Airport works well and can distribute a network with a different name from the first. It's just that I would feel more comfortable about our privacy if the Airport were to distribute a different IP range. False security, maybe?)
    I've tried doing this by 'Sharing a public IP address' in Airport Utility's Internet tab, leaving TCP/IP's setting to 'via DHCP', setting DHCP addresses to start with 10.0.0.2 up to 200 with all else blank, and not using a standard host nor NAT-PMP in the NAT tab.
    When I do this the Airport complains of a 'double NAT issue'. Internet connectivity seems to be OK, but when switching between the two networks on my Mac I get complaints about my IP address being in use by another device intermittently.
    Can anyone help in how to get the 'double NAT issue' resolved?
    Thanks!

    So if someone is connected to the modem/router network they will be able to see the HD I will have put in to the AirPort Extreme?
    As I said above.....since the modem/router and AirPort are bridged, devices on the modem/router wireless will be able to "see" devices on the AirPort wireless, and vice versa.....
    If they can see the HD connected to the AirPort Extreme, will they be able to access it
    Yes, unless you plan to password protect the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    or will they still need the password needed to get onto the AirPort Extreme network?
    The modem/router and AirPort Extreme are bridged. They are on the same network. All devices are on the same network when the modem/router and AirPort are bridged. Not sure how else that I can say this.
    Also, because it is bridged, I shouldn't have any problems accessing the HD I will have connected to the AirPort Extreme from an external location?
    Accessing devices from a remote location is never easy....and a topic for a different post/discussion. If you have a "static" Internet IP address from your provider, and have all the details on how to forward ports on your modem/router, you are off to a good start.
    Apparently there is some addressing issues because devices can be seen as "Double IP" because the modem/router would have allocated IP's as well as the AirPort allocating IP's thus making connections slower until resolved
    When you "bridge", all IP addresses are issued by one device. There will be no conflicts on the network, since they are bridged.
    Once again, in very simple terms, you have two doors (access points) that open into the same room (network).  One "door" is the modem/router and the other "door" is the AirPort Extreme. They are on the same network....("room") because they are bridged.

  • Connecting an Airport TC to a Cisco Modem/Router

    I have just moved and now have 5 people under one roof. So Im trying to figure out whats the best scenario. Our house will have up to 10 devices (Laptops, phones, Xbox, AppleTV.) all running on the same ISP at any given time.  I have a Cisco DCP3825 modem/router acting as a modem & router, using IPV4 with WLAN @ WPA2 personal - AES. and DHCP is on. Its running on N only, at 2.4GHz. Then I have it connected to my AirPort TC in Bridge Mode via Ethernet cable in the WAN port. I am connecting in DHCP mode with 2 DNS servers. I created both a 2.4 and 5GHz channel in WPA2 Personal. I use my TC for Time Machine and didnt want to have to fight for bandwidth while backing up. Since the modem can output its own network, I figured I would make my own and use it just for my Time Machine backups, syncing with my iPhone and general use on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this the best set up for the scenario tho. I guess my other options are to put the modem into bridge and Only use the AirPort TC. Or, I can make my AirPort TC extend the modem/routers current network. Keep in mind they are connected via Ethernet and sitting beside eachother on the desk.
    Any suggestions and opinions are greatly appreciated. I just want to have the best range and signal quality possible while dealing with so many devices on it at once, all while trying to use Time Machine and AppleTV.

    Yes, IMHO you are getting the best out of the equipment.. there is no need to run the TC in router mode.. no advantages really.
    You can of course use a long ethernet or EOP (homeplug) adapters and move the TC to some point in a different room to get coverage.
    If you have issues with people using more than their fair share.. buy a router with excellent QoS and bandwidth limiting and quota.. ie a cheap router and load gargoyle firmware on it.

  • Can I use Airport Express's Airtunes with a non-Apple modem/router?

    I am about to set up a network in our second home, so I am trying to do it as economically as possible. I will have a Verizon modem/router. The Verizon rep says the Verizon equipment is all I need for a computer network (no Airport Extreme Base Station needed). But I would also like to play music on Internet radio stations through iTunes on my Cambridge Soundworks system in a room that is different from the one where the Verizon modem/router will be. Can I purchase an Airport Express with Airtunes to plug in near the music system without also getting an Airport Extreme Base Station to which the Airport Express would be linked? If it is possible to go with just the AE, is it foolish to avoid getting the base station if I would also like to have wireless printing on my network? (I believe I would need the Airport Extreme Base Station for printing because it has the USB port.)

    The Airport Express will do what you want in addition to printing if your printer is compatible as it does have a USB port. Just configure the Express to "join" the wireless network that the Verizon router is creating.
    You will be able to stream AirTunes to the AirPort Express, which in turn will furnish an audio signal to your stereo system.
    If you want to be able to stream any audio source from your computer to the AirPort Express...not just iTunes audio sources...you might want to take a look at Airfoil.

  • How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
    The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
    Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
    Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
    Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
    The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.

    The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

    Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services 2  Hi folks.  Just purchased a new wireless cable modem/router from Telstra (Gateway Max - Netgear C6300BD-1TLAUS).  I've just noticed the following messages in the Event Log.  Is there something wrong and, if so, what's causing it? TimePriorityDescription Sun Jun 21 13:34:47 2015   Error (4)  DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sun Jun 21 11:44:19 2015   Critical (3)  Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sun Jun 21 09:34:47 2015   Error (4)  DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sun Jun 21 04:46:49 2015   Critical (3)  Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sun Jun 21 01:34:47 2015   Error (4)  DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sat Jun 20 16:12:38 2015   Critical (3)  Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  Sat Jun 20 13:34:47 2015   Error (4)  DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=25:2a:8c:de:74:e8;CMTS-MAC=00:00:84:a0:1b:54;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;  This is just a sample of the log file - it's much longer than this.  Appreciate any help you can provide.

    Hi Turbo, have u called and what was the response, if any? I have exactly the same error messages and my connection drops out every 24 to 48 hours without fail. Windows's Event Viewer and Intel's ProSet Diagnosis confirms that the computer was NOT being assigned an IP address. Setting a Static IP on the Local Machine does not help either. I have called them and they wanted to send out a tech. I refused because it seems very much to me that this is a software issue, either with the affected computer or with the Gateway's firmware. Doesn't sound like hardware or the pit in the street. The technician would have come and Telstra would have charged me for the visit I felt. Fred

  • HP Photosmart B209a no longer connecting to wireless since modem/router change

    I recently had to change from a Motorola Surfboard modem and Netgear router (both at least 5 years old). The new modem/router combo is a C3700 Docsis 3.0. My HP Photosmart Plus printer model B209a no longer connects to the wireless network.  I've tried both push button and pin. I get a WPS failed to connect. When I print network settings my network is listed but the printer shows as being offline with no active conection . Firmware is EIL1FNO926AR and shows up as the latest revision for the printer. Under 802.11 Wireless the mac address is given and status is disconnected.  By the way, the printer and modem/router are approximately 3 feet apart on the same desk.
    Any ideas as to what to do to get my printer back online or is incompatible with the new modem/router?
    Thanks

  • Officejet Pro 8500A unable to connect wirelessly to Ubee Modem/Router

    I recently upgraded to a new "all in one" Ubee Modem Router (Model DDW366) and have spent hours attempting to wirelessly (both using Wizard and entering info by hand) print, but nothing has worked.  The only way I am able to print at this time is by printer cable connected to my MacBook Pro.  I'm unable to print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad.  
    HP will not advise me on how to solve this problem as printer is no longer under warranty and Cox Cable who sold me the Modem/Router combo are not willing to assist with this problem.
    Can anyone advise me on how to print wirelessly again?

    Hello @drlogan0, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are encountering problems with getting your Officejet pro 8500A onto your new wireless network.
    I would like to help.
    i would try restoring the network defaults. This will help erase any 'old' information that may be stuck in the printers memory. I would like to give you specific steps for this, but I am unsure if you have the 8500A, 8500A wireless, or the 8500A premium.
    Basically the steps are, go into the network menu, and select restore network defaults.
    If you have tried restoring the network defaults already, please review the following troubleshooting documents.

  • Public ip behind modem/router - setup

    I have been reading this forum's topics thoroughly over the past few days - very helpful advice from some of the top posters.
    However, I have a very basic question which is beginning to make me tear my hair out - how do I give the external NIC a public IP address that's completely visible over the internet but that will still allow communication with my router/modem.
    Last week we decided to update our old G4 running OS X Server 10.3.8 to a brand new XServe. Our needs are very basic and the old server ran afp, nat, mail, firewall and vpn for a small workgroup of about 10 designers. Our ISP gave us a range of static public IP addresses of which we only used one for both our router address and mail (over smtp). ISP handles external DNS and sorted the MX records for this. A zoom modem/router was configured in half bridge mode to transparently send this IP address 83.xxx.89 to the OS X server via DHCP. Therefore external NIC was set up as DHCP and internal NIC was set up with local address 192.168.0.1. Because the 89 external address was also our mailgate address - mailgate.mydomain.com - our ISP could send down our mail, mobile users could log on via VPN, workers on the lan could browse the web and use afp etc. In other words, if worked perfectly for our small setup and was steady as a rock for about 3-4 years. I have noted comments about the lack of a hardware firewall - we are relying totally on Apple's firewall in OSX server but I am comfortable with this for my small workgroup.
    When we came to install the XServe in a similar fashion the external NIC would only pick up the external public IP address for about two minutes. After this it would drop and pick up a self assigned IP address - obviously all connection to the internet would be lost and the primary address would become 192.168.0.1 because the internal NIC would move up in rank. After talking to Apple support for a literally a couple of hours they seemed to draw a blank but suggested that I must change the external NIC to manual to stop it being overridden. I must also set up LOM correctly. Fair enough, I'm willing to try this and have now got my ISP to send our mail down to a different mailgate - 83.xxx.90. Therefore we have one public IP for the router and another for the mailserver (that happens to be doing a few other services too). Domain names for these are mailgate.mydomain.com and mailgate2.mydomain.com - in fact the original address will still act as a mailserver with a slightly higher priority because I want the option of switching back to my G4 until all this is resolved and don't want two new setups on my hands! Once the Xserve is setup the old server will no longer function.
    However, all the modems I have tried will only communicate with internal IP addresses on the LAN. Even the dmz instructions say I should configure with an internal IP address - is this correct? Turning off DHCP server and NAT on these devices doesn't seem to help either (I assumed this would be the answer but no). Can someone tell me where I am going wrong? I can't find anyone else asking about this so I can only assume that I have overlooked something really simple.
    Ideally I would like to keep the new two address setup but I am quite happy to go back to the single setup with the router in half bridge mode if the Xserve will hang on to it reliably.
    My set up is:
    Router:
    WAN static 83.xxx.89 subnet 255.255.255.248
    LAN 192.168.1.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 (don't really understand where this fits in).
    NAT off, DCHP off
    Xserve
    external NIC
    WAN static 83.xxx.90 subnet 255.255.255.248, router 83.xxx.89 or 192.168.1.1 (tried both and tried matching both subnets)
    internal NIC
    LAN 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0
    LOM (guessing here a bit because manual is awful)
    WAN static 83.xxx.91, subnet 255.255.255.248 (channel 1)
    LAN 192.168.0.50, subnet 255.255.255.0
    DNS on XServe will be setup up so that mailgate2.mydomain.com resolves to the internal 192.168.0.1 address. External DNS handled by ISP. Reading previous posts this seems correct.
    Router/modems are Belkin F5D9630uk4 (hopeless, support tell me it won't take a static WAN address so it's going back), Voyager 205 (seems quite configurable but won't let anything through if NAT is disabled), Zoom X5 (older 4 year model currently working succesfully in half bridge mode for my older setup - however only new models will work in full bridge mode which could be what I am looking for??)
    The realise the above modems/routers are more consumer models so I am willing to buy a more configurable expensive pro modem or router if this is what's needed. I stress though that I would like the Xserve to be acting as the firewall and NAT etc and don't really fancy having to have to forward loads of ports etc.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this through, I thought more detail would be helpful. I am also prepared to employ a professional to set this up for me but they (Apple knowledgeable) are rather thin on the ground in Glos UK. We did get a company in four years ago to set up the old server and they gave up after three weeks (a friend and I managed to crack it the following weekend - probably just lucky!).
    Any help would be really appreciated - what we're trying to do must be pretty common?
    17 G4 Laptop   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Now solved - bought myself a more professional router that has more user features and all has become clear. Router is Draytek 2800 which seems like a good piece of kit. I think that there are various ways of achieving what I wanted to do (I suspected this all along) but I chose to set up a 'second public lan subnet' in Draytek speak. See here for more:

  • Do you have to set up AE inBridge mode with existing wireless modem router?

    Hi
    I've just bought the AE and Apple TV. My plan was to basically use my existing Netgear wireless modem router for the internet only and set up the AE as the wireless router. I also bought the AE to boost the strength, print wirelessly and I thought it might work better with the Apple TV. The other things I use on my home network are ipad, iphone 4, HP DV6 Notebook, Toshiba Notebook and PS3.
    I've plugged the Netgear into the AE with an Ethernet cable. I initially started with the "replace existing access point with AE", as I thought I was replacing the Netgear with the AE. This option left me with internet working and a blinking amber light on the AE.
    I then did a hard reset and started again. I diabled the wireless on my old modem/router and chose the "create wireless network" option in airport utility. I think it worked because I have internet and a green light but to be honest I have no idea what I did. I know it's in bridge mode but only because I didn't know how to set up the other options.
    Also, I've ended up with three networks out of this process. The default network for the AE (but it has one of those yellow error icons next to it in the available network list), the one I set up and a 5ghz of the one I set up. Neither the default network of the 5ghz network show up in the Internet and Networking control panel, which is where I delete them. I just thought this was odd.
    What I'd like to know:
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    As you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing. I'm basically just clicking stuff and seeing if it works.
    Any help/advice is much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hello Jo Sugden. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    You don't have to but, most likely, it will be the best configuration choice when you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected to your main Internet router by Ethernet. In this configuration, all NAT & DHCP services will continue to be provided by the Netgear router. This will allow all wired or wireless clients connected to the AEBSn to get their IP address (and be on the same subnet) from the Netgear ... and this would allow clients connected to either router to "see" each other.
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If, for some reason, you wanted to create a separate subnet, configuring the AEBSn as a router would allow for this.
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    By default, your AEBSn will create two wireless networks with the same Network Name; one broadcasting in the 5 GHz band, and the other in the 2.4 GHz band. The default name for both of these will be Apple Network NNNNNN. You have the option, within the AirPort Utility, to change the names of each network.
    When connected by Ethernet, and in bridge mode, it would be beneficial to name your AEBSn's networks the same as that provided by the Netgear. This would create what is called a "roaming" network ... where you literally can roam with a laptop from one router to the other and still be on the "same" network. This also is a way to extend the wireless range of the Netgear.
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    As a minimum, you will have three wireless networks: one provided by the Netgear and two provided by the AEBSn. By giving them all the same Network Name, they will appear as one to any wireless client. However, they will all show up in a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar.
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    Yes. Operating a wireless network in the 802.11n Radio Mode in the 5 GHz Radio Band offers the best potential bandwidth ... around 300+ Mbps. The only real drawback of the higher frequency band is that the signal strength drops off more rapidly with distance than in the lower frequency band. Also higher frequencies cannot penetrate objects (like walls) as well.
    Ideally, you would want to place your Apple TV or other streaming devices in the same room as the 5 GHz network ... or connect them to the router by Ethernet.
