Airport Extreme and AT&T DSL Modem Settings?

I have given up!  Switched from Time Warner CAble Modem Internet connection with my AEBS network after 3 years without problems.  Moved and had to switch and get AT&T DSL High Speed Internet using their Modem (WESTELL REV: S, ADSL2+ ROUTER).  Ever since self-installing this "system", I have been totally unable to use my wireless network to connect to the Internet, as wired and configured like the TWC connection!  THE ONLY WAY TO GET ON THE INTERNET IS:
1)     TO TURN OFF AIRPORT (FROM MENU AT TOP OF SCREEN).
2)     CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE DIRECTLY INTO THE MACBOOK PRO 17" (MBP) ETHERNET PORT AND THE OTHER END DIRECTLY
        TO THE AT&T DSL MODEM (ITS ONLY ETHERNET PORT).
3)     The Internet then works fine.
I have thoroughly messed-up BOTH my MBP's Network settings and my AEBS' manual settings -- to the point I have no capability to remember the "correct" settings for the MBP Network Settings nor the settings for the AEBS!!!
In looking into the communication settings for the DSL MODEM (using Safari and its IP address -- 192.168.1.254 -- to access and look at them), I recorded them after activating the service online with AT&T and they are these settings:
Downstream Rate:               3008 Kbps
Upstream Rate:                    512 Kbps
Internet IP Address:              75.47.152.126
Internet Gateway Address:  151.164.186.1
DNS Servers:                        68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
                                               68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net
Mode:                                   PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)
Local Network
Modem IP Address:              192.168.1.254
Ethernet Status:                    Connected
Maybe you can tell, but I'm not sure if this modem is using PPPOe or DCHP OR NAT OR BOTH OR WHAT, but the "PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)" suggests it has its PPPOe settings internal with my Member ID so this modem can and does connect to the Internet -- BECAUSE WHEN CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MY MBP's ETHERNET PORT AND DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM's ETHERNET PORT, THE MBP IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (but I cannot utilize my AEBS features also like printing and allowing another notebook pc to wirelessly connect thru the AEBS to the Internet like the TWC method did)!
I know this may seem confusing, but I am desparately depending on your help with exactly what settings I need to make inside the AEBS and to make to the MBP's Network settings for both Airport and Ethernet usable!!!
SO, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME BY PROVIDING ME WITH EITHER (OR BOTH) OF THIS INFORMATION:
1)     COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH AND EVERY FIELD IN THE AEBS MANUAL SETUP AS WELL AS COMPLETE SETTINGS FOR EACH
        AND EVERY FIELD IN THE MBP NETWORK SETTINGS FOR THE AIRPORT PORT AND THE ETHERNET PORT.
2)     SEND ME FULL WEBSITE ADDRESSES AND TOPIC TO GO TO TO FIND OUT ALL OF THESE DATA TO BE ENTERED INTO MY SYSTEM.
I THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!!!!
LARRY W. HAMILTON

The AEBS defaults to 10.0.1.x for internal LAN IP addresses. I'm guessing the Callvantage defaults to 192.168.1.x
You'll have to find out how to access the admin webserver on the call Callvantage, set it to a fixed IP the AEBS would see and enable the Default Host option on the AEBS with the IP address you gave the Callvantage.
Default Host is Applespeak for DMZ.

  • No Internet via Airport Extreme and Speedtouch Ethernet DSL modem

    I've recently purchased a McBook pro and wanted to create a wireless network. I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and have successfully set that up, but with no internet connection!
    I can get a perfect connection by hardwiring either of my machines to the DSL Modem directly (via Ethernet cable), but when i connect the Airport Extreme to the DSL Modem via ethernet there is no internet.
    After a bit of research i'm wondering if there is a "bridge" issue... though i have no idea what that means or how to resolve it. Can anyone help?
    Details:
    Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Speedtouch DSL Modem (Thomson ST510 v6)
    G5 Power PC Tower (10.4.11) will connect to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, currently connects to the DSL modem via ethernet.
    MacBook Pro (10.6.4) will connect wirelessly. can currently connect to the internet through the DSL modem via ethernet.
    Dynamic IP via ISP connection via PPPoa

    Hi Steven, I know this question has been answered and is a couple of months old but I think you may be able to help with my set up? I have a Thomson speedtouch 510 v6 modem router provided by Karoo (UK). My other Belkin N modem router has just bust [again] so the Speedtouch is my old faithful backup device. Now, i've never been able to get on ichat with the Belkin as its a mimo n speed and this is apparently not compatible; So i'm now on ethernet with the st510 and have just set up ports for ichat thanks to a thread called http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2719419&#2719419.
    What I want to know from you (because I really need a wireless router to get me off this ethernet support system and back on airport) is how you're getting on with the st510 / airport extreme combo now and can you use ichat on it? If so does your connection doctor say full cone in network settings or something else? As I say, I really want to use ichat and have never been able to in 3 years of owning my Macbook Pro. Hope to hear back from you Steven. Regards Steph

  • Airport extreme stopped working with dsl modem was set on ppoe and changed to bridge then lost internet does not show up in utility

    No internet or discovery on airport extreme after trying to resolve a conflict. Switched ppoe setting to bridge as suggested by utility got solid green light but lost everything else to include discovery in utility.

    having similar problem.  Internet is dropping frequently.  Modem appears to work OK when I connect laptop via ethernet and configure modem to PPOE.  After resetting modem to bridge mode and connecting airport, it'll work for some time but then I'll lose a connection.  it'll sometimes reconnect but not always.  using airport extreme as base station
    recently added express as extender.  connected via ethernet and appeared to work for awhile.  still have drops.
    then deleted extreme from network and tried to run with just express.  again, worked a bit but dropped frequently.
    now back to extreme as base and express as extender.  with some fooling around, my Airport Utility still shows express as green.  Except it's unplugged.  so now airport utilitiy thinks there's a ghost router our there.  any usggestions on how to clear that?
    thx.  mc

  • Wireless connection airport extreme base station to dsl modem

    Attempting to set up a home network through an old Airport Extreme Base Station.  My old DSL modem (AT&T's 2 Wire Gateway) has one enthernet port that is taken up, and I want to know if there is a way to connect the DSL modem wirelessly to the AEBS.  I have a laptop PC, my wife has a MacBook, and a Mac Mini is connected to the HDTV.  Currently, the AEBS is only connected to a printer, and all computers can connect to it fine.  Want to home netweork for back up files, and to share movies, music and vidoes.  Just want to work with the equipment I have and not buy a new modem.

    Sorry, but no. You will not be able to connect the AEBS by wireless to the DSL wireless gateway to get the results you are looking for. Instead, you could either connect it directly to the gateway's Ethernet port, and then, connect whatever was connected to the gateway to the AEBS instead, OR connect an Ethernet switch to the Gateway, and in turn, connect the AEBS to the switch.

  • Regarding the product time capsule...is the modem the same as airport extreme and is the disk drive always running? I'm worried about it lasting for at least five years.

    John,
    I'd pay good money to bet it wouldn't last 5 years... I don't rate the in built power supply and as for "server grade hard disk" - Hmmmm..... The failure rate of all HD's on the market after 3 year is 60%.

  • Constant Activity between Airport Extreme and modem

    Hello all,
    I am the recent owner of an Airport Extreme. My Aiport Extreme is connected to my VDSL modem through the WAN port.
    In the Options menu, I set the option "Status Light" to "Flash on Activity".
    Doing so, I discovered that there is always activity between :
    1) the Airport Extreme           => I can see the green led flashing every 4-5 seconds
    2) the VDSL modem          => I can see the network led of the modem flashing every 4-5 seconds in sync with the Airport Extreme
    Initially, I thought it was "real traffic" coming either from wireless devices or ethernet devices... But after unplugging the ethernet cables (for the devices connected via cables) and after disabling the Wifi network of the Airport Extreme, the leds of both Airport Extreme and the modem were still flashing in sync every 4-5 seconds... Then, I also unchecked the "Set time automatically", and still, both leds were still flashing in sync at the same interval !
    I am a bit lost !
    I am wondering what there is traffic/activity happening every 4-5 seconds when no device (either via Ethernet or wifi) is connected.
    Do you also face the same issue ? Do you know the reason of the almost permanent activity between the Airport Extreme and my VDSL modem ?
    Thank you very much for your replies !
    Regards,
    trabala38

    Hello Bob Timmons,
    Thanks for your insight in this.
    Well, actually, to be logical, this traffic between the WAN port of the Airport Extreme and my modem could be coming from
    1) garbage/requests on the VDSL line from my ISP
    2) requests from the Airport Extreme to my modem
    If it is number 2, do you think that the Airport Extreme could query the modem every 4-5 seconds, i.e. to check that the Internet connection is alive ?
    Thanks for your feedback,
    Regards,

  • Recently bought airport Extreme and have connected the device to the modem. WIFI works. However when I connect the LAN port to a switch I do not see the LAN printer and my NAS. Which setting do I miss?

    I have installed my Airport Extreme and have conencted it directly to a modem. WIFI works fine. However I do not see my LAN network (printer. NAS,..).
    Analysis:
    Scen#1: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a switch (as input) and connect the other LAN devices also to the switch, those LAN devices do not have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the Airport Extreme I cannot find my LAN printer and other devices.
    Scen#2: When I connect the LAN port of the Airport Extreme to a router X (as input) and connect the router X to the same switch, and the LAN devices to the switch, those LAN devices do have access to the internet. Also connecting the iPAD with WIFI to the router X I can find my LAN printer and other devices in the LAN network.
    Question what has impacted the behaviour of the Airport Extreme, not to detect the devices in the LAN network. Why is the use of a switch directly behind the Airport Extreme not working (no internet access for the other devices and Airport Extreme is not the basis station for the LAN network)?

    Your scenario #1 is a correct configuration and should work. It seems as though your Extreme is not acting as a router as I believe you intend.
    Most likely, you need to reset your modem. Power it down and let it rest for a few moments. Some need longer than others. Then, I recommend you "hard reset" your Extreme (see below) and configure it again, after the modem has been reset. From then on do not change what is connected to your modem without powering it down first.
    Once configured, confirm your Extreme's wireless network works as expected and that your iPad and every other wireless device can load web pages. Then, connect the printer directly to one of the Extreme's LAN ports and confirm that it works as well. After that it should work equally well with a switch between it and the Extreme, as should every other wired device connected to the switch. This assumes your switch is an unmanaged device requiring no specific configuration.
    Scenario #2: Having a router connected downstream of another is not a normal configuration, so don't pursue that as a solution. It will only distract you from determining the problem. If you want to repurpose Router X as another device do so only after everything else is working to your satisfaction.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • How do airport extreme and airport express routers connect to modems?

    I've heard that airport extreme and airport express are wifi routers, not modems. if they are routers, they need to connect to my modem. Do they connect using a wire or wirelessly?

    It must be connected to your modem with an Ethernet cable.

  • Airport Extreme and external HDD - cannot be found under Windows (XP/Vista)

    Dear All,
    I am about to loose it. I have an Airport Extreme (7.4.2), most recent version (802.11n)connected to my cable modem. Attached is a 2TB HFS+ Formated HDD. I have a number of machines. My primary machine is a Dell XPS with Vista and MacDrive installed.
    Now: On my AirPort utilities through the Dell the different HDD's connected via USB (I have tried half a dozen) are all visible. They are shared and I have tried all options, e.g. "with Disk Password" etc, tried to give and deny access to guests etc.
    I have tried various things incl. switching off the firewall has not been a success either. I am basically ready to buy a Mac now, but I am worried that the problem will persist for all my Windows based PC's.
    Who can help with a step to step guide? tried the TCP/IP settings on the XP machine as well (entering the IP address of both Airport Extreme and Express).

    Hi!
    I've got the same problem as of Friday when I upgraded my Notebook from XP to Windows 7.
    It does not recognize the HDD anymore, neither on the Windows7 Notebook nor on 2 different XP- PC's.
    I disabled the password functionality and removed the HDD several times, no change.
    When I look to the data volumes overview in the system settings, all internal HDD's and the CD partition of the Toshiba drive are shown. The HDD partition of the drive is shown as "non allocated".
    Is there any workaround to get access to the data????
    Best regards,
    Helmut

  • Using an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule at the same time

    Guys I have had an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule running together for nearly a year now and over the last few days the TC has been behaving badly. I changed its settings and now I'm in a mess. No, I can't remember the previous settings
    Does anyone have a definitive list of the settings I need please? I have an ethernet cable modem, and the Airport Extreme is plugged into that as the main router. Two computers and the Time Capsule are plugged into the Airport Extreme using ethernet. The Time Capsule at the moment is just used as a network drive for Time Machine, but at some point I want to move it, with a long ethernet cable, and use it for extending the wifi in the house.
    1. Should I connect the TC using its WAN port or one of the other ethernet ports? At present it's one of the other ones.
    2. What TC settings should I use to have it function purely as a hard drive? At the moment there's some kind of conflict and my internet connection drops every 30 minutes.
    3. Then later, what settings will I need to get the ethernet connected TC to extend the range of my wifi?
    I read the Apple doc about WDS and tried setting the TC up that way. Then I discovered there is no WDS option in the AE Wireless settings. Only "Create a wireless network" or "extend a wireless network". The same setting on the TC has these options: "Create a wireless network" "Participate in a WDS network" or "extend a wireless network". Both devices have firmware 7.5.2. It didn't work with only the TC set for WDS, of course, but after that I can't get it back the way it was - which wasn't reliable anyway
    Any help in exactly what the Wireless and Internet settings should be would be massively useful. Thanks!

    If you use the extreme as a router then the tc should be connected via its wan port to one of the lan ports on the extreme. Tc should be set up in bridge mode. Basically you could set it up to create another wireless network beside the one created by the extreme. There is no need to use WDS or extend the other network.
    Use the same SSID and password for both machines. Computers will connect to the strongest signal.

  • Airport Extreme and Snow Leopard

    Hi All,
    Hello from Brazil. I just got a new 17" MacBook Pro with the intel Core i7 processor, and Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Love it! Very fast, low heat, and good battery life.
    I am trying to set up my old Airport Extreme MB053LL/A base station, but the install disc is not supported on SL. I have all the latest updates from Apple support but it still won't work. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding. I have figured out it is not a problem with the Airport software, but with the DSL modem and the Airport base station. I have the base connected to the modem in the "wan" port as directed, but when I attempt to connect to it using the Airport setup utility, it doesn't recognize it. It "scans" but does not see it.
    I previously had this base station connected to a cable modem on my wife's Macbook and it worked fine. I recently relocated to Brazil and I am wondering if the frequency the base station uses might be the problem. I think I will try resetting the modem as described in the trouble shooting section. If that doesn't work I guess I am sunk. I know my wireless card is working because I can see some other networks here in my neighborhood, and even was able to connect to one that was not secured. Everyone here uses PC. Some of the folks here have never even heard of the Mac!

  • Connecting AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express

    Hi, I have a windows 7 pc connected to the internet with a dsl modem/router (technicolor TG587n v3 made by Thomson) and a Mac computer that gets connected wirelessly, but now I have purchased an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express and I want to connect the new AirPorts to provide a more stable connection and also to extend the wifi signal and connect a non wifi USB printer to be accessible by the other computers in the household. Would it be possible for someone to spell out all of the steps to be taken to achieve this?  Many thanks

    No worries.  It was all to do with the sequence of events which happened as follows (bear in mind that I'm not a technical person).  First of all I've left the original moden/router's connection as it was, then I connected the Airport Extreme to the original modem with an ethernet cable.  After this I started Airport Utility and I chose to do a manual setup until it recognised the Extreme, once this was done I plugged the Express to a power point, then Airport Utility recognised the Express and once again I did a manual setup and voila! 
    The above steps are only a summary of what took place as I did get a little bit confused as the first person that attended to my enquiry was not an expert with creating networks.  The second person was amazing knowledgeable.

  • I have AirPort Extreme and cannot connect to the internet with a land line but the WiFi works

    I have an AirPort Extreme and have been using for several months successfully, but as of two weeks ago, the line that I have hooked up to my desktop no longer provides internet service, but the WiFi works fine for the I-Pad and I-Pod.
    I have checked with my service provider and my modem works successfully hooked up the the AirPort extreme or directly to the PC.  When I am hooked in from the modem directly to my PC, I have internet for my desktop, but of course no WiFi.
    If I connect the Modem to the Router and the router to my desktop, I have WiFi, but no internet service to my desktop.
    I have replaced the network cable but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    It appears that there may be something amiss with the Ethernet switch that is built-in the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or its configuration settings may be incorrect. I assume that you also tried using the other LAN ports on the AEBSn and the outcome was the same ... no Internet access via a wired connection.
    One thing to try is to change the Ethernet adapter settings on the PC. It is possible that its current settings may be appropriate when connected directly to the Internet modem, but may be off for connecting to the AEBSn. If your PC's Ethernet adapter has options to control Speed, Duplex, & MTU, I would change these to the following respectively: 1000 Mbps, Full duplex, & 1500

  • 802.11n AirPort Extreme and Express

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for all your help and replies, I truly appreciate it.
    I'm looking to purchase an 802.11n Airport Extreme and AirPort Express. I want to setup the Extreme next to my DSL modem and setup the Express in another room and have it extend the wireless network. The Express will also serve as an ethernet port from my DVR unit. I have read different posts that indicated that if I setup the Express to wirelessly connect to the Extreme, via WDS, or some other method, the wireless network will be downgraded to 802.11g. I currently have a 802.11g wireless network. I have one Buffalo Technology 802.11g wireless router and one Buffalo Technology 802.11g router (setup as an access point) and can do everything I need except connect a external HD via USB.
    If at all possible, I would like the entire network (Extreme and Express) to use the same SSID and password. Have the Extreme perform the MAC filtering, provide DHCP address, and service a guest network.
    So, do I understand what I have read correctly, that connecting an 802.11n Extreme and 802.11n Express via wireless (WDS, or other method) will downgrade the network to 802.11g? Are there any other recommendations on how I should connect these two devices and provide 802.11n service?
    Again, thank you in advance.
    --GMReed

    When using the "extend" feature with the new 802.11n base stations, the extended wireless network operates in the 802.11n mode. I believe you may be referring to one of two things that may have led you to that conclusion: 1) When extending a network with the older static version of a WDS, the extended network operates in the 802.11g mode. This is true when either or both base stations are 802.11g models, and 2) Non-"n" wireless clients, connected to a "n" network, will bring the network down to the lowest bandwidth level of the oldest standard. Although connecting these types of clients does affect the overall bandwidth available to "n" clients, it does NOT bring the overall wireless network down to "g" or "b" level.
    >If at all possible, I would like the entire network (Extreme and Express) to use the same SSID and password.
    By default, both base stations must uses the same Network Name or SSID and wireless password to work properly.
    >Have the Extreme perform the MAC filtering, provide DHCP address, and service a guest network.
    For MAC filtering in an extended network, both base stations must be configured with the same MAC addresses for all clients that you want access to the extended network. The Extreme would provide DHCP service, but (unfortunately) you cannot extend the guest network.

  • Setting up airport extreme and express

    i purchased both the airport extreme and the express. i have cable modem and use a router (to it i have connected vonage phone and an external drive). from the router, i have successfully hooked up my airport extreme.
    i now want to hook up my airport express in another room, so i can use it to connect to speakers and listen to music.
    when i plug in the airport express, i dont get a connextion (amber light blinking). i have not bought the speakers/system yet, so i dont have any cables hooked to it. could this be the reason as to why i am not getting a connetction?
    i also thought that i did not need to hook up anything to it, since this would just extend my wireless connection (i use a macbook and ibook)
    any thoughts?

    You will want to set up the AX as a wireless client...
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
