ADSL Modem For EA3500

I have an EA3500 Router. I have ADSL service into our office. What Cisco modem (or product) do you recommend that will present Broadband to the EA3500? I called Cisco and they said 'buy an X3000'. I don't see the point of buying another modem/router to feed the EA3500 Router! All I need to do is to present the EA3500 with 'Broadband'. Thanks....Peter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you able to get internet connection service in your office without a modem? If not, then you need a modem first before you can use the router. The reason why they mentioned the X3000 because it is already a modem/router (combo) and that it is designed to work for ADSL connection.

HT1178 How setup and configure time capsule with ADSL modem for WiFi internet

For my first time time capsule 2TB set up,would like to know about configuration time capsule with ADSL modem for use WiFi internet!

You will want to turn off the WiFi on your modem (if there is WiFi on your modem). Connect the TC and the modem together with an Ethernet cable. Then, turn on your TC and set it up to be in bridged mode, connection type 'Ethernet'.

Best ADSL modem for Time Capsule

Hi all,
Just about to buy Time Capsule and wondered what would be the best ADSL modem to use. Looking for something compact and fairly inexpensive.
Are the Zoom X3 and X4's any good?
Thanks.

Hi Ketty
No replies? Unfortunately Im in the same situation.. Haven't had any luck finding the perfect modem..

ADSL Modem for WRV210

HI All,
What is a good ADSL modem to go with the WRV210.
Im setting up a customer wilth a small office and they have a DLINK, and I cannot get virtual server / port forwarding to work at all.
I was thinking of just using the Linksys ADSL Modem AM300.
Also with this modem would the you connect to the internet port and use the PPOE setting in the wrv or connect to one of the switch ports and let the adsl modem do PPOE and static ip address.
Regards,
Ian DS

For Verizon ADSL, we usually use the Westell 6110F modems. They actually work correctly with Cisco products we deploy, such as the UC520 and 871, but this modem should work with other Cisco products. This modem should work with the WRV210.
For AT&T ADSL, a Netopia 3347 router is typically used, with the ADSL circuit connected to it. We often receive a block of public IP's from AT&T for AT&T circuits, and we enter in the correct static IP addresses in the Netopia ADSL router, and we also have NAT turned off on the Netopia 3347 router.

Anyone recommend an ADSL modem for use with iChatAV?

Hi,
I have recently bought an iSight to run with my iBook 700mhz & 1mbps Broadband connection, and intend to get an airport express shortly.
I have accepted that I must ditch my current Netgear DM602 Modem/Router because it simply wont work with iChatAV no matter what you do with the ports.. and trust me I have fiddled extensively.
I was thinking of Airport Express because the Airtunes sounds pretty cool and it's also one more Apple link in the chain which further reduces native connectivity conflicts..
Anyway. I am looking to get a new ADSL modem that is all but garunteed to work well with iChatAV (using my iSight) and Airport Express..
I have searched the net but cant find anything terribly useful.
Does anyone out there have a good reliable - not too expensive - ADSL modem that works with that setup that they can recommend?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
No Firewalls running no.. Well no software ones, just the hardware one in the DM602.
Incidentally I managed to find another DM602 user who said to me that the Modem / Router in 'Modem Only' mode works fine.. just using the Airport Express/Extreme set up as the router.
Will have to wait and see once I have bought the Airport Express as Modem Only mode without another Router caused me all kinds of confusion and left me unable to connect to the net or even to the Modem/Router directly when I was fiddling around with it.
But yeah, I agree that it's odd that Mac make everything else BUT the modem to connect to an ADSL line.. and then recommend rubbish 3rd party hardware that wont allow it's customers to use it's own well designed software..
Bit annoying.. you try and be a good Mac disciple and model consumer - Mac all the way, and still run into grief..

What to use as an ADSL modem for Airport Express/Extreme?

I am in the UK. My broadband comes down the telephone line. What modem should I use to connect to an Airport Express or Airport Extreme router?

My ISP is Demon, which is now owned by Vodafone. I telephoned Demon and was told (a) that it only supplies the Technicolor TG582n as a courtesy (b) that it supplies no other hardware (c) that I might be able to make the TG582n work in bridge mode but that Demon provides no support for that - meaning no help or advice either (d) that any router bought off-the-shelf in the UK which supports ADSL 2+ will be compatible with Demon's service and (e) that any modem which supports ADSL 2+ should also therefore work. Pressed by me for the names of routers that other clients of Demon's use, I was told that these included routers manufactured by Netgear, Cisco and Draytek but that this is not an exhaustive list.
In summary, Demon says that any off-the-shelf modem that supports ADSL 2+ should work.
To return to the question that I first asked, therefore, I would be grateful if anyone can give me the names of any ADSL 2+ modems which work optimally with Airports Express or Extreme.
If anyone reading this post has any experience they can share, that would be very kind and much appreciated.
If any ADSL 2+ modem will do as well as another, it would be helpful to know that also.

Which ADSL Modem for Airport Express?

OK. This is simple... or so I thought.
Here's the situation: I have just subscribed to Demon's broadband service (in the UK) and I want to create an AirPort Express wireless network in my home. I have a Windows-based laptop and an iMac G5 (with an AirPort card factory-installed) that I wish to share this connection.
I know that the USB modem that Demon supply will be useless and that I need to buy an ADSL Ethernet modem to connect to the AirPort Express base station, but can anyone advise which one I need?
I've read loads on this matter and there seems to be some controversy surrounding which ADSL Ethernet modems work with AX, especially when wishing to connect more than one computer to the conenction. I'd be really grateful if anyone could tell me which ADSL Ethernet modem to buy to fulfil my wish!
Also, any recommendations on which wireless networking adapter card to buy for my non Wi-Fi laptop to work with the above set-up?
AirPort Express Mac OS X (10.4)

My flatmate and I faced exactly the same dilemma two months ago, and while I can't give you a comparison of different brands, I can tell you that we ended up buying a SafeCom modem router, which works perfectly with our airport express, providing internet connectivity to two and sometimes three laptops at the same time.
I will warn you (and you may already have discovered this) that High Street electronics stores will pretend not to know what you are asking for if you say you want an ethernet-out device; they want to sell you non-Apple wireless transmitters.
The modem router we bought was far and away the cheapest alternative on the market (at £25), which doubtless contributed to the reluctance of retailers to dig it out of the dark corners of their topmost shelves for us. The set up was a breeze (as compared with the set up for the USB modem that came with our broadband service) and we haven't had any problems at all. No interruptions of service, no slowdowns, nothing.
(I'm not sure whether my user info indicates this, but I live in the U.K.)

Usb adsl modem for intel Mac?

I just discovered that my speedtouch 330 usb modem will not work with the new Imac I have just purchased. I am looking for a reliable inexpensive usb or ethernet dsl modem (not a router). Many models I have checked are not mac/intel compatible. Has antone elso had this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance

Hi
If you are going to use iChat stay away from speedtouch(known problems).
Get yourself a Netgear DG834 http://www.netgear.co.uk/wiredbroadband_routerdg834.php or if you need wireless a DG834GT http://www.netgear.co.uk/wirelessbroadband_routerdg834gt.php

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.
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.

Which Ethernet DSL Modem for Airport Extreme?

I was lucky enough to receive an Airport Extreme Base Station for Christmas and would like to know opinions and experiences with DSL Ethernet Modems and which are compatible. Most seem to have a download bandwidth limit of 8Mbps which is what I currently receive but eventually I would hope to get a higher speed without having to replace the modem again.
I currently have a Netgear DG834PN wireless router/modem which has a WAN port. Until I get a new modem would it be possible to connect the Airport Extreme to this after turning off the router side on the Netgear? If this is possible is this a better solution to buying a modem or will I benefit from just having a dedicated modem.
Thanks in advance for any replies and Happy Christmas.

As a disclaimer, I reside in New Zealand, but the findings should still bear relevance.
I have used Alcatel (also marketed under the 'Thomson' name) ADSL modems for the last 7-8 years, and haven't had an issue. One of the reasons I choose Alcatel is they are the leading manufacturer of the DSLAMs which sit on the ISPs side of the connection.
We've just upgraded from an Alcatel One Touch Pro to a Thomson SpeedTouch 546(i) v6, and I'm very impressed. Testing shows the modem syncs at a higher speed than other brands such as D-Link, Netgear, etc and is more tolerant of line noise. I've never experienced the drop outs which certain brands featuring the Texas Instruments AR7 chip do - for more on this, take a look here.
I recommend talking to your more tech savvy neighbours and friends (preferably using the same ISP) and see what their experiences are.

Which ADSL Router for TC?

I've just bought Time Capsule to discover it doesn't include a ADSL router. I don't have one - can anyone recommend a decent one that will be easy to set up with TC?
Thanks
Acculess

You are much better off with an Ethernet ADSL modem for use with a Time Capsule as the TC is a router itself. Something like the X-Modem M3 would mean that you don't have to mess about with port forwarding an suchlike on an ADSL router.

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.

Best Modem for BT ADSL?

I'm trying to find the best equipment for a bad performing ADSL line (1-2mbps).
Originally it was 0.9mb download, using a D-Link 320 modem, but using a TalkTalk brand D-Link router (DSL-2780), it has jumped up to 1.6mb. I then bought a Draytek Vigor 120 modem, as I've read this is a very good modem. But again I only experience under 1mb of download. Also tried a Sky router which also gave under 1mb speeds. So it seems the equipment I use has a big influence on the speed.
Are there any settings that could explain the differences? The DrayTek is supposed to be one of (if not the) best ADSL modem (£50!), so I'm surprised it's not getting the best speeds.
I'm guessing I could try a Home Hub off eBay, but I don't see why that would work better than other brands, unless it comes preloaded with certain settings..
I've also eliminated other factors, as I'm just swapping out the modem between speed tests so that's the only thing changing.
Thanks for any info!
(ps. I tried tech support but that was going nowhere..)

The speed goes up as well as down however. I can swap to and from the TalkTalk and it's consistently sub-1mb with other equipment, but always goes back up to 1.5-1.8 on the TalkTalk router. I've tried several times in a row with same results.
If it was a line noise issue, I would have thought the problem would carry over to the following speed tests.
Do modems do anything fancy with regards to negociating a signal?
I've read about chipset matching modems to ISPs equipment, as they (supposedly!) talk to each other to work out an optimal signal strength/setting.
Trouble is I need to work out if this DrayTek is gonna be any good fairly soon, as I need to return within 7 day cooling off if not.

USB ADSL Modem Driver for Huawei MT841 for Solaris Express

Hello Everyone
After initial hiccups of installing Solaris Express in a multiboot system and partition mania,i finally installed Solaris Express on my system.First i installed Developer Edition and upgraded it to Express thinking that Developer Edition doesnt have networking capabilities.
All said and done now i'm unable to access the internet.I'm using Broadband USB ADSL Modem from Huawei,type MT841 with four ethernet ports and one USB port.I dont have ethernet card so i use USB port to connect.
The thing is the modem cd doesnt have a driver for Solaris,but for linux it does.
Where can i find the driver for ADSL modem and how to install it,if i find it?
Is there any alternate way?Expecting a reply(because my last post about multiboot didnt)
Thanks in advance

Problem Solved!
Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
Thanks for your help.

Best for ADSL modem or Time Capsule to do NAT?

I'm hoping to pick up a Time Capsule in the very near future (like tonight if they have the new ones in) and wanted to ask a general question about set-up.
I have a ADSL router/modem which will be connected to the Time Capsule. Is there a general rule as to whether it best to let the Time Capsule or the ADSL modem/router do the NAT etc.? My hunch is that for maximum chance of everything working nicely, such as "Back to my Mac", it would be best to use the modem to do as little as possible and get the Time Capsule to do as much as possible (NAT, firewall etc.).
Any comments?

Start with this and do some exploring if you are interested. http://www.dlink.com.au/
You'll need to find the model number of your modem and there may be another number that's usually on a label on the bottom of the product that you may need as well.
Look for the instructions to reset the modem back to factory defaults. There will be a default user name like "admin" and a default password which you can change when you get into the setup of the modem.
This link may help as well. http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=DSLmodemS1008
10.1.1.1 is indeed one of the addresses for D-Link, but there are others like a 192.168.xxx.xxx type of number. To set up the modem, you will hook it up directly to your computer.
