Apple Airport Xpress and a USB Broadband modem

Can I use the USB port on the Airport Xpress to plug in a USB Broadband Modem? I'd like to use the Verizon or Sprint USB727 as my data connection and broadcast via the Airport Xpress.

Here is the solution. You can buy an adapter that has a female usb on one end and a mail ethernet on the other. I searched and only found it eBay and no where else. The seller is in Hong kong but has a long established history of great transactions. Here is the URL. I ordered one and can let everyone know how things turned out, if anyone is interested.

  • Apple AirPort Express and 3G USB stick

    Can I connect a 3G USB stick to AirPort Express in order to create a wifi network ?

    Sorry, this is not possible. The USB port on the AirPort Express will only work with a printer and Keyspan remote control device.

    I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key.  Where do I find it?

    You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
    Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
    **Edit
    Airport does support the WEP protocol.

    My family owns an Apple Airport router, and my question is that is there a were to remotely access the router and turn it off and on? Thanks

    Richard's suggestion will turn off and turn on the wireless function on your Mac computer......but.....it will not do anything as far as turning your Apple AirPort router on and off.......which seems to be the question that you are asking above.
    If this is the question that you are asking, it is not possible to power the Apple router on and off from either a local or remote location.

  • I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

    I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
    2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
    I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
    AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
    So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
    AT&T 2WIRE  > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
    - If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
    No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE.  If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
    - Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
    No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
    Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
    Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode.  If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
    That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
    You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

  • HT1331 I just bought a airport wireless router I have a time warner cable modem. I have hook up the modem correctly to my new apple airport router and my modem is not working with the apple airport router. what do i need to do?

    I just bought a airport wireless route and I have a time warner modem. My problem is my modem is not connecting to my apple airport router. What do I need to do?

    Power cycle the cable modem.. you may try leaving it off 5min.. might be enough.. sometimes you need 15min or even longer.. Followed by power cycle of the AE.
    Nothing else should be connected to the modem.. except the router that will get the public IP as they only hand out ONE>

  • Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

    Hello all,
    I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
    At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
    My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
    Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
    However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
    Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
    dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
    router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
    get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
    After all this I found that my Airport Express system
    couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
    router wireless connection pays no attention to
    Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
    wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
    wireless card in the Laptop.
    But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
    at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
    Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
    router. I tried is but it didn't work.
    Dell Laptop   Windows
    XP   Wireless card and Linksys
    router
    Dell
    Laptop   Windows XP   Wireless card and
    Linksys router
    Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
    The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
    The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
    The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.
    http://rgbdream.com/?p=44
    The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
    Hope this is some help.

  • Sharing Internet via Airport Extreme using a USB wireless modem

    I have had to go to NextG access using a USB modem (only option). We previously succesfully had the second iMac sharing the internet connection on an ethernet-connected wireless service. Now, I cannot get the other iMac to share the connection, because there is no option to choose the USB modem.
    Another problem is the USB modem is top-dog - it won't connect unless I turned off anything else using anything remotely looking like wireless (even when I have my bluetooth phone connected to another USB hub). I can connect to the NextG network after disconnecting everything else and THEN reconnect, but I just can't get the Internet sharing going. I have also had the iMac freezing, demanding a power-off-power-on (unheard of in my experience!).
    Is there any remedy for the Internet sharing at all? Configuring a different channel or something on Airport? Using one of the other config options?
    I think there are something like USB-to-Ethernet adaptors (pretty costly here in Australia) and don't want to shell out for one if it doesn't work. Same with a third-party router. I also wondered if I should just forget about using Airport completely and run a few metres of crossover cable?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    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 Express and Virgin 50mb broadband

    I am using Airport Express with Virgin 20mb broadband but will be upgrading to their 50mb service next week... Can the AE handle this 50mb service?

    Hi Guys
    I've just posted this elsewhere and tried to continue finding a solution - I haven't changed the modem to upgrade to the 50Mb (on 20Mb now) but I assume the upgraded modem was to support that in the future... but anyway, any ideas on how I can overcome the problem below?
    My previous Virgin modem (Scientific Atlanta) was connected to my Airport Time Capsule and worked perfectly well.
    Virgin sent me a new modem (just better performance I understand) recently. I did say to them that I'd heard there were some problems with this new modem and the Macs, but I was assured there were no issues....why did I believe them??
    They have registered the new MAC address for the new modem (that activates it) and the new modem itself is working fine (Virgin's modem, but says it is made by Ambit) and if I connect this old 10.4.11 MacBook Pro, I can get online and look for a solution (no luck so far) and create this post.
    The Time Capsule (version 7.4.1) is also working fine and sending out the signal, but the two don't appear to be talking to each other!?
    The Network Diagnostics report shows the three top Airport signals/settings as Green positive dots, but the ISP and internet connections below that are Red dots.
    When the Airport Utility window comes up (saying it has a problem) and I run through each page to try and remedy, I get to a stage where it states:
    "The Apple wireless device doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet."
    But there are two spaces below and one does have a DNS address in there (10.0.1.1).
    But if I click continue, the problem doesn't appear to have been resolved and it justs asks me to restart the modem... I do but it makes no difference and it's just a repetetive cycle after that!
    I need my computer online to work, so I am really stuck now. Virgin wipe their hands of this under the basis they do not support 3rd party routers... thanks a lot Virgin!!
    So any help on this would be v.much appreciated - thanks Mac people!

  • Apple Airport Card versus alt USB Wireless

    Hello,
    I own a Graphite IBOOK Clamshell G3 366mhz and I would like to give it to my nephew for 1st year university. It is not wireless - it has the Airport software. He needs wireless.
    Should I purchase an Apple Airport Card alt USB Wireless G3 G4 G5 OSX.3 or 4 from Ebay @ $39.99. Someone at a store in town stated that they were not reliable.
    OR
    Should I purchase NEW WIRELESS APPLE AIRPORT CARD - iBOOK iMAC G3 PB PM from Ebay @ $130.00
    and
    will that be all I need - aside from upgrading the system to 10.3.
    Thank you for your help.
    Hue

    USB wireless adapters need drivers to work. I don't know if there are any for OS 9. Many people find that the drivers don't work well with OS X. Therefore many people who try USB wireless adapters give up on them.
    The original AirPort card is the best solution.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Have installed OSX Mavericks and Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects despite reloading its software. Now cannot reinstall OSX Mountain Lion

    Upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects. Tried again after reinstalling latest Vodafone Modem software update for Mac OSX, but no use.

    Could somebody give a feedback about the solution proposed by Bokir?
    I am experiencing exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mavericks with the Huawei E220 modem.
    The connection is established for a few seconds, but no data is transfered, and the connection is then closing automatically.
    I left the modem plugged in and the Vodafone software set to Automatic, and after numerous attempts and 10 to 15 minutes, it appeared that the connection was finally established.
    That is of course no way to work.
    After running the VMB uninstaller, there are still a lot of stuff in library cache & preference folder that are pertaining to VMB and not removed.
    It is also strange that after uninstalling and reinstalling the VMB software, I am not requested to enter my pin code to establish a connection.
    It is obvious that there must be some other VMB files (probably corrupted) somewhere in the system that are not removed by the uninstaller.
    I have another macbook pro running VMB without problem and I am really afraid to install Mavericks on this laptop because of this issue.
    Thanks again for any feedback.

  • Hello, I just bought the apple Airport Express, and I am suffering from lots of difficulties. It is in the middle of out apartment and from a bedroom, it runs very slow and sometimes doesn't even load. I would like to know what might make it stronger.

    Hello, I just bought a Airport Express, and on the first day it has a a weak signal. It is very far from my working space and my apartment has very thick walls that might be blocking the signal. I would like to know if I can do anything to make it stronger or faster. If you know please reply.

    You need to move the AirPort Express closer to the bedroom.
    You can leave the modem at its current location and purchase a longer Ethernet cable to move the AirPort Express virtually anywhere that you want. The closer that you can locate the AirPort Express to your working space, the better the signal will be.
    Standard lengths of Ethernet cables are 6 feet (2 meters), 25 feet (8 meters), and 50 feet (15 meters). Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of Ethernet cable from which to choose.
