Airport Extreme: How to connect a Linksys VOIP device via ethernet

Hi there!
I am trying to connect Linksys PAP2T device via ethernet to my Aiport Extreme. It gets an address assigned 10.0.1.2 but when I access the device, I am not able to connect to internet. Do I need to key in my network password anywhere?

Okay, so to answer my own question after considerable sleuthing . . . for anyone else trying to do this:
Connect your computer to the bridge using an ethernet cable, then open a browser and enter the following address: http://169.254.1.250
This will take you to a login page: leave the username field blank, enter "admin" in the password.
You will see the Cisco setup page. I selected manual setup and entered the name of my network and password. I got a progress bar and finally the wireless network light on the bridge started flickering.

  • Airport Extreme Sharing printer to Leopard and Windows 7 via Ethernet port.

    Hello!
    My home office is in a mixed environment, 1 iMac with Leopard 10.5.8, and the other iMac running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on bootcamp. Both computers are connected to the Airport Extreme (dual band version, firmware 7.4.2) via Ethernet. I attached the HP LaserJet P1006 to the Airport's usb port in order to share the printer to both platforms.
    My problem is that, I got the printer installed on Win 7 by using bonjour print service v2.02 without any problem as it said works in both Ethernet and wireless, I sent a print test from win 7 successfully, then I did another test from leopard ( as I presumed it should works also), however, it says "the printer is in use". and wouldn't print. I tried restart the Airport Extreme and tried print from leopard again and that was fine but then Win 7 couldn't print.
    Is there any solution for Mac + Win environment like my description? If I have 2 computers running on OS X they print perfectly well. Thanks all!
    My solution for now is to physically plugging the printer to where I need to print from. I use Ethernet wired both computers is because I want to take the advantage of the gigabyte lan port for speedy files transfer between both computers.

    If networking isn't working out for you, you may want to try out a swtich. Best Buy sells one by IOGEAR that allows for two USB connections to tie into one computer. So long as windows 7 can either download its own driver for the printer for basic features, or if you want to download canon's driver this solution will work. The only draw back is having to bring the laptop near the printer when you need to print.

  • Connect to Linksys Cable Gateway via AirPort Extreme Base Station?

    Thank you in advance for any replies.
    I have the following new setup:
    A G3 Blue tower running OS X 10.4.10 is successfully connected to the internet via a Linksys WCG200 Cable Gateway connected to RCN's cable internet service. The WCG200 unit has wireless capacity though it's connected to the G3 tower via ethernet cable.
    A second Mac (G3 iMac DV running OS X 10.4.10) is in another room in the office. I'd like to set it up with internet by wirelessly connecting with the existing WCG200 unit using an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) I've recently acquired. To ensure a smooth process, I reset the AEBS to factory settings and installed the AEBS software (version 4.2) onto the iMac DV. Finally I plugged in the AEBS into the iMac DV using an ethernet cable plugged into the AEBS's WAN port (AirPort Admin Utility advised me to do so).
    That's the hardware configuration. Working out the software and configuration details is proving 'niggly'.
    First, I used the AirPort Setup Assistant to configure the AEBS. I told it to Set up a new Base Station, then to set it up as connecting to the internet using a Cable modem (the top option of two—the second was to set it up with internet through a LAN). I set up the name and passwords for the Base Station and had the utility configure the AEBS accordingly.
    No internet connection occurred. I tried using the Internet Connect utility in the Applications folder, but no button or visible option for connecting via AirPort appeared, as the Setup Guide indicated it should, only a button for a VPN appeared.
    I called Apple and asked whether it was even possible to connect to the internet using the AEBS talking wirelessly to the WCG200 unit. A tech told me it could be done by going into the AirPort Administration Utility, going into Configuration, clicking on the WDS tab and inputting the MAC address for the WCG200 unit, then going into the Airport tab and typing in the channel that the WCG200 is using. Note that the WCG200 unit has 3 MAC addresses listed; one each for “modem MAC address,” “WAN-MAN MAC address,” and “WAN-DATA MAC address”. I used the “modem MAC address.
    The Apple tech added that it might need further tweaking, but that Apple couldn’t provide this tweaking and that I might check various forums if need be.
    I followed the Tech’s advice, at which point the utility informed me that it couldn't use DHCP or NAT with this setup’ and to make sure that the "Distribute IP Addresses" checkbox was deselected under the Internet tab. This I did, but it was already deselected. I told the utility to update the AEBS accordingly, and restarted everything, including the 2 Macs and the WCG200.
    Result:
    No connection.
    Tried it again with the Ethernet plugged into the AEBSs LAN port, still no connection.
    Help! Can’t I get the AEBS to even see the WCG200? I know wireless is properly functioning in the WCG200 because another user with a Windows laptop connects to it wirelessly. The Mac Tech also mentioned that this could be relatively easy with an AirPort Express piece of hardware (Card? Base station?) but that it would be difficult with the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    At this point we’re willing to spend $100 on getting this up. What would be our best option in terms of equipment, or can connectivity be accomplished with what we have?
    Thanks again,

    skyheart, Welcome to the discussion area!
    In theory using WDS would provide what you need.
    In reality the Linksys device is not compatible with Apple's WDS and therefore this will not work.

  • Airport Extreme Doesn't Connect Wirelessly with TC

    When I first bought the Time Capsule I was told that I would be able to plug the Time Capsule to the Ethernet modem and then use my Airport Extreme wirelessly (meaning all I have to do was plug in the A/C adapter) to extend the network. So, I went ahead and created a new network with the TC in the first floor and then attempted to set up the Airport Extreme upstairs, but when I started to set it up it kept on asking me to connect an ethernet cable and it did not give me the option to add it to the TC wirelessly, so I had to bring it back down to the first floor and connect it to the TC via ethernet. My question is: Is this how is supposed to be? How can I take the Airport Extreme upstairs without running any cables? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok, and that is why you are having this problem. I hate to say it, but your situation would be much simpler if you just left all your networking equipment on. Besides they consume very little power and were designed to operate 24x7. Constantly recycling power can actually cause more harm via voltage spikes which can wear down the equipment over time.
    Obviously, there are two sides to this "leave on vs. power-off" argument, and I respect both ... but, your networking requirements really do make more sense just leaving them on.

  • I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it?

    I want to replace a four year old Time Capsule for a new Airport Extreme, how difficult is it? The ADSL connection come from a Modern Router provide by the local Telephone company.

    Reply back when you get the new device, but in short, you'll have to put your extreme in bridge mode and just connect the same wires as your current TC.

  • Make AirPort Extreme share internet connection with Time Capsule

    Hello,
    This is the situation: in one room there's an old Mac, the modem which delivers the internet and the AirPort Extreme which is connected to the modem.
    In another room there's the Mac Pro, the Time Capsule which is connected to the Mac Pro with an ethernet cable and to a printer via USB.
    I want the AirPort Extreme to wirelessly share it's internet connection with the Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule can share the printer with all three Macs (old Mac, Mac Pro and Macbook Pro), the Mac Pro can use the Time Capsule for Time Machine functionality and maybe the Macbook Pro too.
    And just using the Time Capsule for internet.
    How can I do this?
    At the moment the AirPort Extreme is disconnected and the Time Capsule is used instead, but this way I can't share the printer...
    Thanks!

    Is that AirPort Extreme "flat" or dome-shaped?  If it's flat (802.11n-capable), you should be able to configure the "main" router to "Allow this network to be extended" and the other to "Join a wireless network".  If the Extreme is dome-shaped, then you need a more-complicated "WDS" arrangement.  In either case it shouldn't matter much which router plays which role.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "And just using the Time Capsule for internet."

    Is the printer connected to the USB port of the Time Capsule?  Can you see the printer in the "Printer" panel of AirPort Utility?  What happens when you try to use it from one of the Macs?

  • Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
    Wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now try to configure the AirPort again.  If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

  • My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

    My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

    I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme.  The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine.  I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

  • Airport extreme unable to connect to new router

    We just received a new router from our cable company. The old router worked with our airport extreme just fine.  After hooking up the new router the airport extreme could not connect to it.  I received the following error "error occurred while trying to access the apple wireless device.  Make sure your connection is valid Error -6753" So then I tried to power off and reset the Airport extreme.  The button was stuck on my reset button.  I did figure that out and was able to click the button.  But even if I would hear the audible click when i held down the reset button the amber light never flashed rapidly?  Not sure what else to do.  I have turned off the modem, unplugged the router, plugged them back in. etc.   I just don't know where to go from here.
    Thanks!
    jodi

    Were you able to get the AirPort Extreme to reset back to factory default settings, as LaPastenague detailed?
    The amber light needs to flash rapidly for about 6-8 seconds during the process to indicate that the reset is taking place correctly. Once you release the reset button, the light will stay solid amber for 15-20 seconds or so, then change to slow blinking amber.
    We are a bit confused as well, since in your first post you mention that you received a new router from the cable company, then later in the post, you mention that you have a (separate?) modem.
    In the most recent post, you mention that you have a new modem. Is the new router from the cable company the same device as the new modem?  Or, do you have a new modem and another new router in addition to the AirPort Extreme?
    Can you clarify on exactly what devices that you have? Make and model numbers would help. We know that you have an AirPort A1408.

  • Airport Extreme won't connect with my cable modem (Time Warner)

    OK, I'm tired of staring at a blinking amber light. I'm reaching out to anyone out there who's had this problem. I've got everything connected right, the software loaded, the connections set on my laptop (Macbok Pro). But still my Airport Extreme won't connect to the Internet. I've tried different cables, rebooting both my modem and my Airport. For the record, I've had a Mac IT guy from my advertising agency come by my house and make sure that everything's installed and hooked up right. But it still keeps saying that my IP address is invalid, even though I can connect (wired) using the modem.
    I suspect I'll just have to take it to the Genius Bar or something. But anybody got any ideas? I really want to join the 'n' generation....

    Did you power off the cable modem when switching the Ethernet connection from laptop to AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)? This is usually required.

  • Using AirPort Extreme hub to connect to stereo

    Is it possible to use a second Airport Extreme hub to connect to stereo speakers?
    If it is, what kind of cable might one use to do this?
    Thanks

    No, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not have any type of audio output.
    Are you thinking of the AirPort Express which does have an audio output?

    Airport extreme has to connect to internet if computer goes to screen saver.  Any way around this?

    Describe the issue in more detail.. as it doesn't currently make sense.. the AE should always be connected to the internet. It should never disconnect.. but the computer can fail to connect to wireless after sleep.. that is common problem.
    See Tesserax docos if you have wireless connect issues after sleep.

  • My airport extreme only will connect with computer or ipad not both

    my airport extreme only will connect with computer or ipad not both

    We need just a bit more information, please before we can begin to accurately troubleshoot this issue.
    1) What is the make and model number of your modem?
    2) What operating system are you using on the MacBook Pro at this time. Your tagline indicates that you are using OS X (10.4.8), but this is about 6-7 years out of date.
    If you are no sure which operating system your Mac is using......click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • Internet connection is through airport extreme is not connected

    internet connection through airport extreme is not connected maybe there is a problem setting it up

    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
    to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
    correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    Yes.
    Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

  • Issue with Airport Extreme and 100mbps connection

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded my connection to 100mbps. Using a ARRIS TM 502G cable modem and the Airport Extreme I am able to get the 100mbps connection via either ethernet or wifi on my main MacBook Pro. However, the Mac Mini in the loungeroom (10 metres away from the Airport Extreme) is only getting speeds of around 25mbps.
    Does anyone know why this might be or what I can do to resolve it?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    The Mini was connecting at 20 - 25mbps via wifi.
    The Macbook Pro was connecting at 80 - 90mbps via wifi (when in same room as Airport Extreme) and getting anywhere from 80 to 140mbps via a wired connection.
    I've moved the Airport Extreme so it has the best "line of sight" to the Mini, and also disconnected a cordless phone I had in the room which was interfering with the signal.
    After these changes I'm able to get speeds of 30 - 45mbps on the mini and similar speeds on my macbook if I move it next to the mini. It looks as though that's the best I'm going to be able to get without hard wiring the mini - which is disappointing ... unless of course you clever people have any other ideas?
