Airport tmcpsle 2tb as network with cellular modem for internet

Just purchased an Airport Timcapsule 2TB to use with iMac.  I only have 4G internet access with an AT&T Unite hotspot.  The want to use the airport as my home network and use the AT&T Unite through the Airport through the USB connection.  Is this possible?

No, you cannot use USB for modems or routers or any other device except a printer and/or hard disk.
The TC needs ethernet if you want to use it for your home network.. it can become a dumb client.. using join a wireless network. but it will not provide anything but hard disk access to the network.. albeit slowly.

  • Trouble connecting Cisco router with cable modem for Internet purposes

    So I am requesting help from the Cisco community on this issue as the cable company states there equipment is working fine.  At all my facilities I have a guest Internet service setup through a local Internet provide to provide Internet services to the residents and guests.  I have the cable modem usually a Motorola SBG6580 or a SMC 8014 (both provided by cable company) connected to my router on a FE or GE interface.  I am using static IPs and using the cable modem just as a modem (bridge mode).  Over the past several months these connections have just stopped working.  I have not made any drastic changes to my router configs; however, the cable company has updated the firmware on these modems.  I am wondering if that could affected how the modem and router talk.  I was told by the cable company that the modem sees the Cisco router but that the port is inactive.  My router shows the port is active and traffic passing.  Does anyone have any ideas that could point where the problem lies?  I will post a basic config to one that currently does not work.  I am using a VRF to route a certain group out, using NAT.  Please let me know if I need to post additional info.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

  • Airport Extreme & Express WDS Network with 5Ghz possible?

    Hi Guys,
    is it possible to run an Airport WDS Network with 5Ghz? I´m using an Airport Extreme Base and a Express, but its only possible to run it with Draft N in 2,4 Ghz... so thats not enough... for IPTV.
    any ideas...
    thanks
    Simon

    Simon2207, Welcome to the discussion area!
    No. WDS is an 802.11g feature and 802.11g only operates at 2.4 GHz.

  • AirPort Express AirPlay over network with extender

    I'm running a wireless network which includes a Netgear signal extender.  With the extender, I have two wireless networks visable:
    network name (primary wireless router) & network name_EXT (extended wireless signal)
    I purchased the AE for AirPlay and have it hard-wired (RJ-45) into my router.  When our devices are connected to the primary wireless network the AirPlay function works perfectly, but when the devices (iPad and iPhones) connect to the extended network (network name_EXT), the AirPlay doesn't work. 
    The AE is connected by an RJ-45 cable and is on the same network... it seems to me the wireless network shouldn't matter. 
    Any suggestions to get this to work on the _EXT network?
    Thanks.
    T

    It seems as though, from my experimentation, that Airplay connects to another device through the MAC address and *not* the IP address. There are benefits of using both types of connections (which I won't get into), but the biggest problem with using the MAC address in this case is the that, on most networks (practically everything except for those using WDS), the MAC address of the device in question gets masked as the same MAC address of the router it is connected to. This is bad because when the computer looks for a specific device, (again assuming that Airplay checks for MAC addresses) it will only see the router's MAC address instead of real device's MAC address.
    To clarify, say you have two networks, A and B, where A is where the IP addresses are assigned from, usually the router that is either connected to the modem or is the modem itself. Each has its own SSID, A and B respectively. Wireless device WA, which has Airplay, is connected to network A. Wireless device WB is connected to network B and is trying to wirelessly connect to WA. As I mentioned previously, most networks won't be set up with WDS (which preserves the MAC addresses). As WB looks for WA to send the music over Airplay, it won't be able to fully connect because it is trying to send it to the wrong MAC address (of router A) despite it seeing the device. I suspect WB sees WA because it can see WA's IP address.
    Now, I haven't been able to confirm this theory with any Apple representative because, after all, they are mostly not knowledgeable in the intricacies of the devices networking. I'm sure if they forwarded the question to an Apple engineer, we would be able to get a concise answer as to why we are having this issue...
    I can only hope they will fix this issue before we are forced to buy more hardware to support WDS
    But again, this is just my theory, I have no evidence except for knowing that my network is all on the same subnet but the MAC addresses are transformed... it may have something to do with the DD-WRT set-up I have.

    I just purchased the latest Airport Extreme (6th Gen) base station to be my main wifi router.  I have two airport express models that I used in the past to extend my network with my (very) old retired Airport Extreme (2nd Gen): the 2nd Gen model A1264 (you plug into the wall directly) - I've had it for several years, and the newest 3rd Gen model A1362 (small square that lies on a desk or table) - I just purchaed a couple of months ago.
    My question is - will extending my network with either of these Airport Express models diminish my overall network speed (Especially the older model)? 
    I don't have any AC capable clients yet - so everything is running on the "n" band - and the older Express is an "n" model, but I just have this (perhaps irrational) fear that attaching older routers will slow everything down.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    will extending my network with either of these Airport Express models diminish my overall network speed (Especially the older model)?
    The A1264 model will be able to extend only one band of the new dual band AirPort Extreme. Normally, the A1264 will extend the 2.4 GHz band since it is stronger than the 5 GHz signal.
    The A1392 will be able to extend both bands since it is also a dual band model, providing that it is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the new AirPort Extreme.
    Here, I am assuming that you are asking about extending wirelessly.
    You might want to keep in mind that extending wirelessly always involves compromises and loss of bandwidth. The main reason for this is that an extending device can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    The wireless signal from the new AirPort Exterme will slow down and lose strength the further that it moves away from the main AirPort. So, the extending device gets a slower, weaker signal to extend. The result is signficantly slower wireless performance in the extended areas.
    The way to solve this is connect the extending AirPorts to the main AirPort using a permanent wired Ethernet connection.  There is no signal loss in a wire, so the extending AirPort receives a full bandwidth signal to broadcast. The result is higher and more uniform speed on the entire network.

  • Airport Express and wired network with static IPs

    I have a wired network with static IPs. I have a block of free IPs I can use to connect to this network. Manually setting any of one IP from this block on my MacBook Pro via ethernet works great - full network connectivity including internet.
    What I wish to do is add an Airport Express in between my MBP and the network, so that I may have greater freedom (wireless opposed to wired). Is the AX capable of this? If yes, what are the correct settings? Keep in mind there is no DHCP server on the network.
    I have tried giving the AX an IP manually and then accessing it from the MBP having the AX share IP (effectively becoming it's own DHCP server?). This gives internet connectivity, but I can't see any of the servers on the network. I assume because I'm now on a new subnet.
    So I then changed the AX settings to not distribute an IP and gave the MBP another IP from the block (different from the AX). This gives me the network, but no internet.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Okay, I made a mistake and forgot to set the DNS servers manually. It seems the second method works fine. I've set up WPA2 security as well - I'm assuming this is okay in this situation. What is the correct term for this setup? A wireless access point bridge? Is there anything more I should know about this setup? TIA

  • Airport "forgetting" my wireless network with CD2 iMac

    I never had this problem with my Core Duo iMac, but now with a Core Duo 2, I have to manually enter my home wireless network periodically after waking the computer from sleep. Is there any way to "save" a network?

    Try this:
    If you use "Preferred Networks," instead of "Automatic" for your "By default, join" setting, try the following:
    - Delete all preferred networks with encryption
    - Add them again after manually connecting
    It will be faster if you turn on "Automatically add new networks to preferred networks list" under "Options" of the AirPort network connection.

  • Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

    I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

    Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
    The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
    do I turn off DHCP on the router,
    No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

  • Airport card not joining Networks with passwords?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having this problem where my computer WILL NOT let me join any network with a WPA password or WEP.
    It only works when I take off the password to my router, and I don't want people stealing my internet.
    I installed every update I could possibly do, but still nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I used a decent password and it was converted to abunch of random numbers, I entered those in three possible ways
    (without spaces,with spaces,with all the letters not capitalized,with them all capitalized, etc)
    and it STILL WON'T LET ME IN!!!!!
    on the WPA whenever I put the password in it does the same, won't let me in.
    It had WPA2 which was WPA compatible.
    and it's a belkin N+ router.

  • How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

    I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

    Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
    Yes
    As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
    Yes
