Airport extreme wired AND wireless at the same time?

Very sorry for this newbie question. Can i have my iMac wired to my computer with ethernet and wireless at the same time?
If so, what ports to i plug what into?
My guess is modem-wan port on extreme and a cable going wired from the ethernet port on the extreme to the iMac?
Do i need to do any configuring?
Thanks!

The operatibe word here is EXPRESS
To the best of my knowledge the ethernet port on the express is for ethernet IN not out
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf The pertinent diagrams are like page 20 - 25
Now you can actually do what you are talking about with an extreme.. an extreme can, in theorey operate as an remote/relay taking incoming signal giving you one - four out bound ethernet ports
that info can be found in the manual on setting up a WDS
the only thing to remember is .. the weakest leg controls.. if your wireless signal to the relay is poor. any thing using the relay for access will also be poor
I have found out the hard way about that
hey you can get good price on bulk cat 5

  • How to use airport express wired and wireless at the same time

    Hi,
    I currently have FiOS with Verizon, they ran a coax cable to the Verizon router. I didn't ask them to switch to CAT6 cable since I have an airport extreme base station and an airport express base station (both are the newest generation). I ran a CAT6 cable from the Verizon FiOS router to my AEBS (extreme) to make it the default wireless router. The Verizon router and extreme are in one room. Now, the Airport express is in my living. I'd like to extend the wireless network from the extreme. However, I can't seem to find a way to use both wired and wireless from the airport express at the same time. It's now either via wired, or wiresless. So is there a way to get both work?

    Can you tell us if you used Apple's instructions for a "roaming" network?

    Although the instructions picture a 2nd AirPort Extreme in the illustrations, the setup instructions would be exactly the same for an AirPort Express.

  • Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

    Hi all
    My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
    Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
    If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
    The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.

  • Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

    Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time?  Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop.  It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work.  What should / can I do, if anything?

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • Officejet Pro L7780 Wired and wireless networking at same time

    I have an officejet pro L7780 printer that I would like to use wired and wireless networking at the same time.  It that possible.  The printer is connected directly to the network by ethernet, but I would like to print wirelessly with an ipad or iphone using HP ePrint Home and Biz.
    Thanks,
    Maurice Hawley

    The bad news: no it is not possible to have two connections active on your printer at once.
    The good news: the router will connect any device to the printer regardless of how the printer or the devices are connected.  So your iPad can print to a printer that is wired (with Ethernet) to your router.
    If it does not work, restart your router by pulling its power plug momentarily.

  • Airport Snow Network and Ethernet at the same time?

    Here's the setup. I've got a new Intel MacMini (10.4.6), G4 Sawtooth (10.3.9), iBook G3 and a Dell all using wireless on the Airport Snow router. I'm in the process of moving files over from the Sawtooth to the Mini. The Sawtooth and the Mini are within 2 feet of each other.
    Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network? Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes
    Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
    The Mac will use one OR the other if they are both connected.

  • Can psc2510 work connected and wireless at the same time?

    My PSC2510 all-in-one is connected to my desktop the old-fashioned way.  Can I get my laptop to print wirelessly from the same printer?

    I'm pretty sure that USB and wireless connections can work at the same time on this printer. Just make sure the same PC is not connected by both USB and wireless. The software will get "confused" as to which way to communicate with the printer.

  • Evdo and wireless at the same time?

    Hi,
    I cannot get my T500 to connect to the internet via internal mobile broadband card AND a local wireless network at the same time. When I connect to the wireless network (via Windows connection not thinkvantage) to use my printer or squeezebox, the internet connection disconnects.
    I am using Windows wireless connection to the wireless instead of Thinkvantage. Soapbox: thinkvantage is too domineering. I can't control my own computer because thinkvantage is like Hal and just takes it over. That being said, I just updated to the most recent version in hopes that this wireless/mobile broadband problem would be resolved. But no, the evdo still drops when I connect to use the wireless.  It's not immediate - I might get 3 or 4 minutes of dual connectivity  but it ultimately drops the evdo every time.
    I've picked the brains of the linksys folks. They gave it a really good effort. We went through all kinds of configuration gyrations but no luck. Here is that discussion if you want to review: http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread.id=149718 .
    Can anyone over here help me? Many many thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I am using thinkvantage to connect to WWAN. Vzaccess is really clunky. I suspect that this is the problem so I would like to connect to the wireless via thinkvantage. I realize I'm probably asking for a lot: use TV for one connection and Windows for another...

  • Airport Extreme - iMac and PC on the same network

    Hello, I have one iMac and one PC sharing the same Internet connection and both computers are getting IP addresses via DHCP, which is configured on the Airport Extreme, for the local network. The Internet connection is working fine for both computers. The iMac and the PC can also ping the Airport Extreme ip address with no problems. The issue is that the two computers cannot ping each other.
    Some facts:
    - On the DHCP I configured the DHCP lease starting from 192.168.1.2 and ending with 192.168.1.10. The router has ip address 192.168.1.1, the iMac has ip address 192.168.1.2 and the PC 192.168.1.3.
    - The iMac connects to the AE via wireless and the PC via cable. I already disabled the wireless network and connected the imac via cable without any change on the situation (iMac does not ping the PC and the PC does not ping the iMac).
    Any suggestion or hint is really appreciated!

    I can ping between Macs through my Time Capsule. You might check the firewall settings on both sides.

  • Can I use the HP 4630 with both the USB Connection and Wireless at the same time?

    Setup the HP 4630 and the wireless connection from the laptop works fine, but the USB connection on the desktop won't print.
    The printer is recognized and says it is online. When I unplugged the USB the priner status went to off-line, plugged it back in and said it was ready. Tried to print the test page and nothing. Tried to print from Word and nothing. Rebooted and shut down the printer. After reboot gat the same issue. Any suggestions?

  • Streaming wifi and bluetooth at the same time is it possible in air play from iPod

    Streaming bluetooth and wifi at the same. Is it possible?

    You are not able to send the music to two different streams, you can use the bluetooth and wireless at the same time but for different tasks.
    The best way I have seen for what you are attempting, is to buy a wired splitter and two bluetooth transmitters, and have each transmitter broadcast bluetooth sound to the two different locations.
    I have not found any other way except when using itunes on a desktop computer which allows the selection of multiple output destinations.

  • C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

    I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

    It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

    Of course. The AEBSn can support n, g and b devices at the same time.

  • My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

    My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.
