@ Airport Express and BEWAN DSL MODEM : no internet ..why ?
Hello,
I connect a BEWAN ADSL Modem to my Airport Express and create a Airport network to have internet access for my Ibook.
I have choose "Ethernet" for Internet access with DHCP parameter.
Here's what i see : the Bewan ADSL modem give to the airport a public IP for the ip address (that comes from my Internet Provider), a netmask and a router ip that is 192.168.1.1.
On my Ibook, i could connect to the airport (printing is ok) but I couldn't have internet access : blank page under Safari...
My Airport Express has the last Firmware....
I think is a trouble between the BEwan ADSL modem and the Airport because I have Internet access when i directly connect the Bewan Modem to the Ibook.. a routing trouble ?
Do i have to manually enter IP parameter of my Airport ?
Have you the same configuration ?
Thanks for helping me fast.
ouba john,
I'd recomend trying a reset and reconfigure. Your setup sounds pretty simple. Hold in the reset button on your AE until the light blinks, let it restart, and choose your unmodified Airport express from the drop down menu. Run Airport Setup assistant from the Utilitiies menu and try to let that program do all the tweaking for you. Once it's up and running, you can go into the wireless settings with Airport admin and reconfigure security if you wish.
This is "just give this a try" advice. It seems I've heard odd things about ADSL modems, so good luck

Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together?
Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together at the same time?
I'm using AE purely for music distribution and have just bought a wireless modem for the internet (not a AE). However I can now only select either the AE network, OR the wireless internet network (it's BT HomeHub). Hence I can either play music or use the internet, but not together!
Any ideas anyone..??
Thanx
DavidYou should configure your AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network provided by the modem. The instructions are in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

Which one shoud do DHCP; Airport Express or Wired DSL Modem?
I have a wired DSL modem for my internet connection, and just purchased the Apple Airport Express to provide wireless to all 3 computers on the network (2 Mac, 1 PC). Which piece of hardware do I want to do the DHCP? I think right now it's set up on both, but I'm not sure. Any advise?
DHCP server is responsible for allocating IP addresses to the computers on your private network. In order to avoid duplicating addresses, you can only setup one DHCP server per subnet. It makes sense to set up the DHCP on the router that's also running the NAT (Network Address Translation), this will ensure both functions are going to use the same private IP address range. It will also simplify IP address reservation, and port mapping.

Airport Express to Verizon DSL Modem - Connectivity issue
I have Verizon DSL at home. I have an iMac G4 1.2GHZ w/o internal wireless. I'm trying to use the AX to join the DSL Wireless, and use the Ethernet on the AX to provide internet access to the iMac.
Setup:
Verizon DSL modem w/ build in Wireless G
MAC address authentication
AX MAC added to the MAC list
AX Sucessfully added to DSL Wireless (I can see it connected at the DSL modem web page
AX Status light is green (confirmed its getting an IP from the DSL Wireless)
iMac plugged into the AX via ethernet (confirmed its getting an IP from the AX)
No internet access on the iMac however.
I did notice in the Airport Utility that sometimes the AX is logging:
Connected to: <insert mac address here>
Disconnected from: <insert mac address here>
over and over at times....
The AX and the Wireless router are approx 15ft from each other.
I've also powered everything down, fired up DSL Router 1st, then AX, then Computer. Still no dice on internet to the iMac.
Any suggestions? I shouldn't have to add the iMac MAC address to the filtering...but maybe....didn't have time to try that lastnight/thismorning.
Thanks for any help!

Couple of thoughts here:
Check AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the icons
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable ethernet clients"
You are trying to use the AirPort Express in a configuration known as a ProxySTA.
The modem/router will need to be compatible with this function, so you should check with your ISP to see how this could be enabled on your modem/router. -
Airport Extreme and Westell DSL modem
Hi all,
I am a MCSE Certified Professional in Windows 2000.
I got a new Apple Airport Extreme router to replace my Sister's Netgear router. I kept having to reset it all the time. In setting up the Airport I found out that the Westell modem actually has a router built in. I did not know that before.
My question is whether to set this up as a router or a base station. I am know that setting up the Airport as a base station is the recommended way to go. But, I am thinking that it is also not as secure. Also I don't have as much control over port forwarding and VPN access, etc. Also how does the DHCP IP addressing work going only through the Westell modem? Right now I have the Airport setup as a router with NAT unchecked. And an IP address set to something other than 192.168.1.1. Which is what the Westell is set for.
The only think I dislike about the new Aiport Extreme is the fact that I can not change the gateway ip address. I can't understand why Apple decided to do it this way. In the Router configuration as described above the network is working very well so far.
What are your thoughts.
Thanks,
John GerardJohn,
The 6100 is an older product (~2006?). Depending on how long your unit has been in service, there may have been firmware updates released by Verizon which will greatly affect the appearance and contents of pages presented by its embedded server. I advise you to update the 6100 firmware if needed, before changing the configuration. Verizon will often ship out a current DSL router to Mac subscribers on request, since Westell routers can't be flashed from a Mac. (You'd probably get a 7500). If you do choose to continue configuring the 6100, look for an "Advanced" tab where you can turn-off IP address distribution for a private LAN. That should effectively put the 6100 into bridge mode. However, Verizon employs dynamically-assigned DNS servers; without locally-stored DNS entries, I'm uncertain about how well the 6100 will continue to negotiate DNS lookups in bridge mode.
I can't offer any more-specific advice about configuring the 6100 since I've never used the product. However, based on what I do know about Verizon's suport for their hardware, I still believe that you'll be creating extra challenges down the road by chosing to configure any DSL router as a bridge, since Verizon won't provide troubleshooting support for that configuration.
Now that this discussion has substantially drifted away from anything relating to an Apple AirPort, I believe you'll get better configuring advice from Verizon DSL tech support (800 567-6789) and/or Verizon's DSL "High-Speed Internet" Help pages. So that other forum visitors may benefit from reading this discussion, please come back and post a descrption of the solution that worked for you.
Thanks and good luck! -
Airport express and comcast telephony modem
I just had Comcast setup cable modem/telephony in my new home.
Technician set up and was only able to get the internet to work if plugged directly from modem into network card on the PC notebook.
I replaced that cable with the airport express, got a green light. both the PC and the mac found the wireless connection and I had internet access from both.
About 2 days later I lost my internet connection. Both machines still find the wireless and report strong connection. but no browser connections.
Interestingly enough, the PC wanted to download some MS updates and was able to do that, but still no connection via IE, Safari, Firefox.
Talked with several techs from Comcast, finally last night I just go the one direct connection with cable working again.
Any other experiences like this??? I want to use wireless and just need to know what the best way to proceed may be.
Thanks,
Bill
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) also running a powerbook g4Alexkywalker, Welcome to the discussion area!
Whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from a cable modem from one device to another you need to power down the modem. This will force the cable modem to forget the device it was talking with. The cable modem will then discover the new device and communicate with that.
BTW, the AirPort Express (AX) has an auto-sensing Ethernet port and therefore will work with any type of Ethernet cable. -
Configuring my Airport Express and Cisco DCP3008 modem
Hi,
I have an airport express version 7.6.1
and a cisco modem dcp3008 and having issues trying to connect the two. I have called cisco and they told me they would have to reconfigure it for 60 dollars. Is there anyone that has any suggestions for how I could manually figure this out?
My cable/internet service is Charter.... and they can't do anything ha ha.You can effectively extend the Cisco's wireless network by creating a roaming network with both routers. Note that this would require that both routers be interconnected by Ethernet. Since the Express will perform a new role, be sure to perform a "factory default" reset on it so that it will be in its "out-of-the-box" configuration.

I have the airport express and trying to set up internet service on my TV (Vizio) but having no luck.... I need a code to enter in order to connect! Can you help?
Hi - you might be getting full bars but a slow connection - games can be very sensitive to this - have you tried connecting via ethernet to see if it is better? - however if your wireless speed is good too then it could be a ps3 issue and a call to their support might help - otherwise there could be interference issues, radio channel conflicts, etc. - without knowing the specific aspects of your entire network environment it is hard to make any more suggestions.

Want to know about the AirPort Express and AirTunes
I have been contemplating purchasing an AirPort Express to stream music from my bedroom into the entertainment room in a 4 bedroom apartment. I have a wireless G D-link router which could be better but its not going to get better any time soon. As far as AirTunes goes, i have been researching it but still have questions on how it works exactly. Also, is it possible to play music through the speakers that are currently hooked up to my computer and through the stero in my living room simulaneously with this device.
So i have the airport express and i want to use internet at the same time as streaming my music to my stereo. I also have a router that i normally use for internet. My problem is, how do i use them at the same time because the airport run's or the router runs not both. I tried running a ethernet cord from the router to the airport express, and i can now recieve internet and stream music, but i want to be able to use my router instead of the express. also if i can't and have to go through the express, can i password protect the internet connection because i have no idea how to use settings for this device?

Earthlink, AirPort Express, and DSL
Hi,
Just upgraded my old AirPort Express to the 802.11g one. Since then, not sure why but I've been having trouble having other computers on the network to access the network. When it tries to do so, it gives an error, "The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer (172.16.1.13.) Enter your DSL Account Logon to switch the Internet connection to this computer."
I do so and then it gives me "The computer iss currently connected to the Internet. Close your browser and reopen to use your Earthlink Internet connection. To allow any machine on your local network to acess your Internet connection without entering the logon password, click "Release Connection" below."
I click on "Release Connection" and then it gives me "Your Internet connection is now released. Any computer in your home may now access the Internet. Open a browser and click on a link to use your Earthlink Internet connection."
BUT, when I go to another computer, it gives me the exact same series of questions and screens.
I'm not sure if this is an AirPort Express settings issue and how to change it - I really don't want to pay Earthlink the $9.95 they charge for home networking, though if that's what it requires, I'll suck it up and do it. Curious why this is happening only since upgrading to the new AirPort (old one was 802.11b).
Current Internet connection is Ethernet cable into AirPort Express and connecting via PPoE. I can connect one device to the wireless network, but any other device has the problem above...
Any thoughts out there?Would it be correct to assume that the ZyXEL DSL modem is a plain modem (without built-in wireless capabilities), and that the AirPort Express is used as your own base station connected to this modem? In principle, you could use the AirPort Express as a separate wireless base station. However, the modem (and perhaps other devices) may be locked to or owned by your Internet service provider. If this is true, another ISP (possibly with its own equipment) would be needed in order to provide Internet signals to the WAN port of a base station. It is probably wise to check the contract with your existing ISP for details.

I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.
Hi Jake,
Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

Airport Express and Internet Connection Sharing through XP
Hi all,
Quick question that I'm stumbling over a little.
I'm currently staying at a relative's house using their XP desktop, so I can't change the settings too much without seeming like a discourteous guest! Their PC is set up with a USB broadband modem, and no router. What I would like to do is share that internet connection with a couple of Macbooks wirelessly.
Internet -> USB modem -> XP desktop -> LAN cable -> Airport Express -> Wireless Macbooks
I have added an Airport Express and connected it straight into the PC's LAN port. The AE is in bridge mode, so it does not distribute IP addresses. Instead, the PC is distributing IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.xxx. This is working without a problem, as no fewer than four laptops and an iPhone have been designated unique IPs without problem.
Unfortunately, I don't know where to go from there, as nothing but the XP desktop will connect to the internet. Also, curiously, the XP machine can ping everything on the network, but the devices connecting to the AE wirelessly can only ping as far as the AE, and can't 'see' the XP desktop.
I feel like I'm not far from a solution, and any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!
Message was edited by: Sam RobertsNever mind! Figured it out myself. Turns out my relatives had McAffee running on their XP desktop. Disabled it, and everything works wonderfully.

I changed to Time Warner cable. Upon doing so, my Airport Express lost its connection to the Internet. When I run the Airport Utility, I am stuck at the first step, which says the AE doesn't have any DNS server addresses. What are they and how do I find out what they should be? And if I supply them, will that fix the problem?
Have you performed a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express?
If not, the Express is still remembering the settings that you programmed into it when you configured it to work with your old modem.
The Express is "looking" for your old modem, but it does not "see" 'it because it is no longer there...so it can't connect to the Internet.
If you have not already tried the Factory Default Reset and you need more info about this, post back for more details.
