ADSL Modem Compatible with AEBS

I'd be grateful if anyone could recommend an ADSL modem compatible with AEBS. The NetGear ADSL 2+ Ethernet Modem advertised in the Online Store is very poorly rated.

Pretty much any ADSL modem that provides a regular internet connection with an RJ-45 cable would work with the AEBSn. More importantly you should ensure that the ADSL modem you purchase is compatible with your ISP ADSL connection. In most cases, the ISP provides a "custom" version of a ADSL retail modem with firmware modified for ISP tech support.

Is a D-Link 300T ADSL modem compatible with Airport Extreme?

I have tried to upgrade my existing Broadband (Ethernet) connection to WiFi and cannot get it to work. I have plugged the Extreme into the Ethernet port in the modem and gone through Airport Setup Assistant and it does not seem to work. I am using DHCP which seems to be capturing the IP address the service provider (Demon) gave me. Am I doing something wrong or is the modem incompatible? I have the latest Airport software upgrade 2005-001.
HELP

I have the same modem and it works fine with the AEBS
as long as you DON'T have the latest firmware update
(5.6)! Follow the various posts on these boards on
"updating" the firmware back to 5.5.1 and you should
- I hope - be OK.
Thanks very much for this. Am now away from the location in question, but will try your suggestion on my return.

Why do you feel that you need a USB modem? I would think that you should be able to use a standard ADSL modem, connecting it to your phone line on one end and via Ethernet to your Mac Pro at the other end.

ADSL modem/router and AEBS - how to setup?

G'Day all.
I've been using a Billion ADSL modem, with a 802.11g wireless feature for the last year or so. I have in my network:-
24" Core2Duo iMac
AppleTV
12" Powerbook
A few iPhones
Nintendo Wii
I now have a new AEBS and want to use that instead of the wireless in my ADSL modem. I can get the new wireless working, and still connect to the internet if I set up the AEBS in "bridge" mode, but the ports I had open/forwarded etc. before no longer work... (many apps that used to listen for connections can't be reached from "outside").
What I ideally want to do is:-
Use the ADSL modem for it's VoIP feature (inbuilt ATA), and QoS (throttles my internet connection during a VoIP call). I want to use the AEBS for everything else - wireless, NAT, etc. So, the ADSL modem is fairly "dumb" in this setup.
I figure that this way, both products can do what they are best at. When I need to use iChat etc., I know that it should pretty much just work, as long as I "enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" etc.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? If I turn off the just disable "NAT" on the ADSL modem, I can't get on the internet at all...
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Duane.
I'm still after the same features I mentioned. ADSL modem for being an ADSL modem, VoIP and QoS, AEBS for everything else.
I tried leaving the AEBS as a bridge, but couldn't reach any ports on anything behind the AEBS, even after putting it in a DMZ on the ADSL modem.
I do now have it working, in case it helps anyone else:-
Billion - NAT and DHCP on, VoIP configured and QoS to throttle everything when a call is active. Assigning a static IP to the AEBS, and putting that IP in the DMZ.
AEBS - NAT and DHCP on (share a public IP address), static IP to my main mac for forwarding some ports, and NAT PMP on which seems to work by auto-opening other ports as needed (i.e. iChat video works with it enabled, and not with it off).
So there 'ya go. May not be conventional (?), but all seems hunky dory.
Cheers.

AT&T DSL Modem compatible with Airport wireless router?

I recently switched from cable internet to at&t DSL. I connected the DSL modem directly to the computer and followed all instructions for set up (per instruction from AT&T). Now I need to connect the DSL modem directly to the airport router to get wireless, but when I do this the computer doesn't recognize any internet source. What do I need to change to make this work?
Thanks in advance!

"ATT tech support helped as I got it set up in BRIDGE mode so my Apple Time Capsule could be the router."
It sounds like you set the Time Capsule up in Bridge Mode, which would mean that the 2wire was doing the routing, not the Time Capsule.
To verify, open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup and click on the Internet icon. Check Connection Sharing at the bottom to see how your Time Capsule is configured.
I don't have a dual band Time Capsule, so I can't give you a good answer about whether using the TC in bridge mode would cause problems setting up the second "guest" network.
Since each network would require an IP address and the 2wire is assigning them, there might be an issue there. This would really be a question for Apple support or perhaps another user has configured their system this way and can provide some input.

ADSL Modem connection in the UK + Airport Express

I've searched throughout these discussion boards, and have found a lot of people with questions about ADSL modems inconjunction with the Airport Express. And have come to be quite confused about the best solution.
My network plan at this stage is for:
(Internet) -> ADSL Modem ->Airport Express -> iMac & Mac Mini (both wireless).
Most UK ISPs obviously offer bundles that include USB ADSL Modems, quite often now they include wireless functionality as well.
What i want to know is, what ADSL Modem can i buy, that will work with standard uk isps (haven't decided on one yet), and allow me to have the Airport Express distribute IP addresses, and provide AirTunes access?
Essentially, i want to use the Airport Express as much as possible, and for the ADSL modem to do no routing if possible, and to just provide the access to the internet.
What is the most plain / cheap adsl modem i can get for this task?
Thankyou for listening! and for any help you can give me!

Mischa,
Welcome to discussions.
I can only endorse the other posts regarding the use of an Ethernet DSL modem, rather than a USB one. If you're thinking of a new ISP, you could always ask them for a free Ethernet / Wireless DSL modem, if they try to fob you off with a USB one, insist on Ethernet. Some ISPs do have them, especially if explain you're wanting to connect more than one "family computer" to the internet.
I have the Netgear DG834G mentioned earlier. It's top dog. I also have an AE. Not what you'd want to hear, I put the Netgear above the AE. The DG834G also has wireless, so it's useful for operating in addition to the AE, I use an Ethernet cable between them and have the AE extend my wireless network.
A top link for help choosing what you want is:
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/
There's a network wizard on the left, answer the questions and it'll give you an idea of what is available and the UK prices. Or click on the type of modem you want to get there a lot quicker (ie. ADSL Modems and then ADSL Ethernet Modems). Buy from anywhere you like, this is just a guide.
I'm still a bit concerned that you want to leave the DHCP, NAT and firewall to the AE. Sure it's easy to do with Airport Admin Utility, but almost any ADSL Modem is configurable with a web browser. It's easy once you understand the concepts, which you will have to do to use it even with AE.

What is your DSL bandwidth?

What is the best ADSL modem to use with AEBS in the UK?

I'm currently using the Netgear DG834G with it's wireless functionality switched off, and my AEBS (gigabit) is set up as a bridge.
When I've tried to resolve various problems such as getting iChat AV working I've got the impression that I might have fewer problems if I let the AEBS do the routing, and simply had an ADSL modem connected to it (rather than a modem/router combo).
What do other people use in the UK, and what success do you have with Skype, iChat etc?
Is there a better way to configure my DG834G so it only acts as a modem? I don't have much technical knowledge in this area, though I have been through the Netgear control panel and sorted out fixed IP addresses.
In some respects, ie. internet browsing, streaming movie trailers on the Apple TV, OS X software updates, all perform perfectly. From that point of view, it seems that there cannot be too much wrong?
A couple of 'by the ways': I also have an Airport Express configured in bridge mode to use with my iPhone and 802.11g MacBook, so that I can keep the Airport Extreme (gigabit) set to work exclusively on 802.11n for maximum performance to the Apple TV. The Extreme and Express are using different frequencies.
I've just ordered the new Mac Pro, which has two Ethernet ports. Is there a way I can put these to good use, for example having a standard network separate from a gigabit network using jumbo frames? I'm sure this is too much to put in one thread, but in a way it's probably best to cover everything together!

I use the Linksys ADSL2MUE - which I managed to buy for £12.
I configured it in bridged mode - leaving the Apple Extreme do all the firewall and DHCP stuff.
It's not pretty but does the job.

Adsl, modem, router & AEBS

I have introduced a Level One broadband router on gateway mode between my x modem and the AEBS. THis seems to have caused the AEBS to start dropping the signal - the effect on the Macs is that on the airport menu we get the message 'airport scanning'. Previously we had a solid signal
Any thoughts? Is it in the setup - should the airport be in bridge mode?

Thanks Duane.

Conecting to bt broadband with a USB ADSL Modem :s

Hi! I really know nothing about computers so would be very grateful for some help
My grandma recently bought me a iBook G4 to take to uni with me. I have never used any kind of mac until now so have spent the last few months getting used to it. However, I am still having trouble conecting to the internet. We have a pc at home which uses broadband (a bt voyager 105, USB ADSL modem box thingy) and I have been trying to get my iBook to connect using this but it just doesnt seem to want to work at all! The iBook doesnt seem to realise that the broadband box thingy is plugged in although it is powering the BT modem box, its all very confusing to me. I have tried using the Network Setup Assistant but its got me no where.
I dont know if they are compatible or not or wether I need to get a different connection device or what! Any advice/help would be much appreciated
Many thanks, Amy

Hi Amy
Get a Netgear DG834 http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834
Or if you need wireless Netgear DG834GT http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834GT

MacBook Pro's wireless connectivity with ZTE 531 ADSL modem using BSNL broadband

I have tried to connect macbook pro with BSNL broadband internet connection using ZTE 531 ADSL modem. The connection using both wireless mode and ethernet mode failed repeatedly. Using the same modem, I am able to connect to internet through my Sony Viao running Windows 8 and HP630 running ubuntu (both in wireless mode and ethernet mode). I have tried the 'assist me->diagnostics' option in Macbook's network diagnostics. The first 4 indicators are green, but the remaining 2 (ISP and server) remains yellow. Repeated attempts were made by restarting the modem.
Surprisingly, the Macbook works fine with a newly purchased Dlink N150 ADSL2 modem. I have used the same WIFI settings ( as in the ZTE modem) in Dlink modem also. What could be the reason for this ?

Hello jayan_a_r,
From what you are talking about, it seems like you have done some good troubleshooting to attempt to sort it out. Try using a different Network Location as sometimes that could be an issue when trying to access the internet. Also make sure that modem is using the recommended settings for the wireless access.

Is Airport Express compatible with ADSL2 modem?

I already have an ADSL2 Modem (with both ethernet and usb cables) which was provided by the ISP. I am looking out for a router since my current Linksys router is giving problems. I am thinking of purchasing the Airport Express since it gives me the option of using my printer and ipod wirelessly as well.
I just wanted to clarify if the modem will be compatible with the Airport Express. Also, if the Airport Express can be used as a proper wireless router for accessing the internet wirelessly through my MacBook Air.
Can anyone help please!
Thanks.

Thanks. I checked on my modem setup page and PPP over Ethernet ( PPPoE ) is selected. Does the AirPort Express work with this? Also, how is the connectivity? What is the difference between G & N. Previously I had a Linksys Wireless G router. The Airport Express seems to be N router? Will that create any problems. I just want to clarify before I buy it.
Thanks a lot for answering.
