Apple TV as an Ethernet Bridge

I currently have an Airport Extreme (802.11g) router next to my cable modem. In the living room I have an Airport Express which is acting as a music streaming device, as well as an ethernet bridge for my xbox 360. I can't remember how I set it up, something about expanding my airport network. But the airport express shares the wireless internet connection over ethernet so the xbox 360 can access xbox live.
Anyway, I'd like to have my Apple TV do the same thing. I'd like to have my apple TV sync and access the internet wirelessly and share the internet connection over ethernet for the xbox 360 much like the Airport Express has been doing for a year.
Is this possible?

Apple TV will not do that, it is not a router similar to the Extreme or the Express.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge not recognised

    I have an original Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge (TEB) for my brand new MBP 13" retina Mid 2014 edition and I am running Yosemite 10.10.2. I connect to the internet via ethernet regularly to play online video games. I recently plugged in my TEB and found that it wasn't connecting me to the internet. I checked network preferences and tried to run diagnostics but in the network preferences it says there is nothing plugged into the Thunderbolt port. However, when I go to system information and under the hardware tab I selected Thunderbolt, with the TEB connected there is a little drop down menu named Thunderbolt bus and under it it says Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If I remove the TEB, this drop down option is not there, which gives me the impression that the computer is recognising the TEB, but somehow something is wrong with the software that isn't allowing me to connect.
    Further information before any of you suggest something simple because I've tried all the simple solutions
    I went to the apple store with my TEB and asked them to check if it was working, they confirmed that there is nothing wrong.
    I've also used a brand new ethernet cable, one that I know is working to connect to the modem. And obviously my internet is working because otherwise I wouldnt be writing this.
    So if anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem please help!
    I've used the app EtreCheck and here were the results, doesn't seem like anything is wrong

  • Request: Provide Ethernet Bridging to NON-WDS Networks!!!

    I realize that the topic I am adding here has been discussed quite a few times and also that many comments were made on the issue at least as often. What I am trying to understand is this:
    Why did the initial design of the Airport Express turn off or not provide Ethernet bridging in client mode?
    My brother gave me the AE as a gift over a year ago and just recently I got a wireless router and dsl modem (in one unit) and was able to install the AE for the following usage (which I consider reasonable and 100% compliant to what was written on the box):
    - stream airtunes to the stereo in the living room (ok)
    - get my playstation2 online using the ethernet port (no way)
    Now that I have gone through hours of internet searching regarding WDS, I see that Apple has not intended the AE for this usage as it is only possible using Airport units. Don't get me wrong, but I am not going to go out and buy another base station in the form of any other Airport unit (especially after reading the other threads regarding their reliability!) just to get the funtionality of an Ethernet bridge.
    Bridging requires little to no additional intelligence in the unit other than mirroring the network traffic it is hearing on the wireless side. And that is obviously available since the WDS configuration offers that. I am aware of technical details (I built up the internals of a wireless ethernet bridge in a Hiperlan/2 network over three years ago at a research facility) and want to know why this is not done by default?? The AE is heating my living room as it is and I consider this a reasonable request for a new firmware edition - those who don't use ethernet bridging wouldn't notice a difference and the AE would finally fulfil what is promised on the box.
    Thanks for your time and perhaps persuasion in handling this issue - I hope my AE lasts long enough to experience this firmware edition if it ever gets out there.

  • Using Older Airport Express as an wireless/ethernet bridge

    Hi there,
    I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.
    Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?
    I read online that one could set up a WDS network, but I am having -no- luck doing that. Each time I try, I am prompted to enter other nodes on the WDS network, but there's a chicken and egg problem since the first node I am trying to set up keeps requiring other nodes before applying the changes to the configuration it is very frustrating.
    I have an Airport Extreme (b/g) and two airport expresses (b/g) and would very very much like to connect an ethernet-run skype phone to one of the expresses. I currently use one as an AirTunes node, and the other (the one I want to use for the skype ophone) as a wireless printer node. Is it possible to use the latter as an ethernet bridge? Can I do that without setting up a WDS network? If I have to have a WDS network, what are the step by step instructions I should follow to do that for all the hardware listed above?
    This seems a lot harder than it should be.

    +I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.+
    +Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?+
    It is only possible with the older Express if you also have an Apple main router and setup all the devices in a WDS arrangement. If you are having difficulty setting up the WDS on your network, reference pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide for a step by step procedure of this. Or, perhaps you might want to use one of the excellent posts by Tesserax for this as well. See this post.

  • AEBS and AExpress N ethernet bridge disconnects when I sleep MBP??

    Hi all this is my first post but im a long time mac user having grown up in a mac house.
    anyways im an it guy by profession and ive been working at this issue to no avail so I figured I might come on there and see if any of you have experienced this issue
    the issue I get is that when I close/sleep my MBP it disconnects the Airport Express ethernet bridge clients
    NETWORK Info
    I run a small business from my home thus I have FiOS (yay 20/20) with a block of 13 static ips that i distribute via DHCP and MAC reservation to allow remote access to my network as well as keep things consistent.
    I currently run cat6 from my FiOS ONT to my Airport Extreme Base Station, which i use on a strict N only in 5ghz range as my area is flooded with b/g networks but no n networks (yay again).
    I recently acquired an N Airport Express to provide a wireless to ethernet bridge thus extending my network to my entertainment center (ps3 xbox etc)
    (extra info: im using n here because i found that b/g limits my internet connection speeds to 7-9 mbps where as my connection is capable of 20. On my n speed network I can get my full bandwidth wirelessly, yes I know there is obviously some bandwidth and throughput loss by going wireless but not as much as a b/g network was giving me)
    NETWORK SETTINGS
    On my n network I distribute a range of IP addresses from my static block. I have tried a few different dhcp lease times which definitely improved my initial problem which seemed that it would log me out when the key rotated every 20 min. Currently ive bumped that up to 1 day (i know not as secure id like to set it back to 20min but it seems that when it rotates that it logs me out) and haven't had that specific issue revolving around key rotation again. ive tried the WDS, Extend a network and join a network options with no real difference in behavior when I shut my laptop and for example my GF is playing rock-band online she gets disconnected also worth noting that it seems there is an intermittent DNS issue on the express ie cant find time server even though at that time ethernet clients are able to connect and get dns response
    Below is my log from my express base station when the disconnect occurs

  • Want to use linksys wrt300n as a ethernet bridge while the router is a time capsule.

    The time capsule is connect to my modem and my wrt300 is downstairs. What I want to do I use my time capsule a my router and the wrt300 as my ethernet bridge. How do I set my wrt recieve the single from my time capsule. The wrt300. Is running dd-wrt firmware. The reason I want to do this is that I have a slingbox and it needs to be connected by Ethernet. By using the wrt as a Ethernet bridge it should work. I just need to know how.

    All sounds good.. tend to use the older dd-wrt firmware to do this.. 2.4 linux kernel is far more successful than later 2.6 versions of dd-wrt.
    You must manually setup wireless.. plainly only 2.4ghz is going to work.
    So jump into the airport utility manual setup.. and go to the wireless page.
    Depending on how old your TC is, setup a wireless name.. no spaces no special characters.. very short also is just as useful as very long. tc24 will do nicely.. Change the name of the 5ghz if it is later model to something also similarly simple.. tc5 might be nice. Call the TC a nice name again no spaces.. which it will have by default.. no special characters pure alphanumeric. TC is nice simple name.. Hard to forget really.
    Set manual channels for the 2.4ghz.. this is utterly important.. repeater or bridge does not work with auto bouncing all around the place. Choose a suitable channel out of 1, 6, 11.
    5ghz won't matter so you can leave that on auto if you want.
    Lastly security..
    Let me suggest to start leave security off. Get it setup so you know it works then come back and test the security levels.
    I am not sure what to select here.. you want wpa but the dd-wrt says not wpa+wpa2..and apple do not offer straight wpa as the bridge cannot resolve which to use.. you might need to use wpa2.. but that doesn't work on some routers with repeater.. or bridge.. you are going to have a bit of trial and error here.
    Make the password something nice.. you guessed it pure alphanumeric.. no spaces, no special characters.
    be creative and simple.. tc24passkeynot5 .. of course use what you like.. I am giving examples to make it easier. Update the TC.
    Now just do the bridge setup on the WRT300.. there are two kinds of bridge.. client bridge and wireless bridge.. there is also repeater. Client bridge has no routing .. that is what you want. But it does other things which may make you go back. Please note bridges are strange beasts.. this is going to hide clients behind the Linksys MAC address.. and it can lead to issues.
    Anyway read the setup tutorial. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged
    You will find earlier one if you use the index.. this is also useful to read. And is more extensive.
    http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge
    There are several scattered around and I can point you to others.
    When you are finished you will often need to reboot both boxes to get the bridge to establish.
    Once you are done. See how it goes..
    I tend to advise people that wireless bridges are flakey and will do down at the moment you want them to work. You can get EOP adapters which tend to be more reliable and use the WRT300n in wan bypass as a switch and WAP.. This is much more reliable.

  • Airport Express Ethernet Bridging

    I have a Mac mini connected to my flat panel TV and I used to use a Graphite base station to connect to it from my iBook G4, naturally the iBook can see the mini but not vice versa (**** Apple firmware).
    I have an Airport Express that I stopped using as a print server and wanted to hook it up the same way I had the Graphite Base Station, HOWEVER, it doesn't work. It SAYS in the Airport Admin Utility that Airport to Ethernet bridging is supposed to be in effect, BUT, it doesn't work the way the Graphite Base Station does. Is this another example of Apple creating an artificial limitation in a product, or will this work?
    iBook G4 1.33   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mid-2005 Model

    I have tried this and it does work. You can do this manually from the station you want to use as the relay, but it is a royal pain. Let Airport Admin do the work; set up the relay from the main base station.
    To enable bridging mode on the express (ie: the express is connected to a machine with ethernet and you want to then connect the express to the main base so the machine has internet access)
    Install your main and remote base stations and power them up (easiest if the remote is reset to factory state)
    Launch Airport Admin Utility and connect to the main base station for your network.
    On the "WDS" tab, enable the station as a WDS main base station and allow wireless clients.
    Click the "+" button to add a remote base station and select your airport express. Leave checked, or check the "Auto configure..." box.
    Click "OK" then "Update"
    Read and enter the requested information on the drawer that appears; you are setting information for the remote/bridging station.
    Wait for the stations to restart and build the network (about 1-2 minutes).

  • Can't get ethernet bridge to connect to network

    Hi
    I am trying to connect my old iMac G3 (10.2) to my airport express network with an Aeropad Mini (an ethernet bridge powered by USB hub on my mac - made by Macsense).
    The network is seen successfully by an iMac G5, an Intel Macbook and a PC. The connection occasionally works but more often than not it does not see my airport express - instead it connects to a self-assigned IP. Sometimes it connects then drops off halfway through. Other times it just will not connect at all.
    There are no drivers and you set it up via your browser. I can connect to the status and set-up page (192.168.1.50), after entering all the Aeropad info manually, and most times it can see my Airport Express (via the Site Survey on the set-up pages). but sometimes it does not even get that far. I reset the aeropad and restart the mac many times, and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
    I'm using channel 11 and it's WAP-encrypted.
    Things I've tried:
    updating the firmware from the macsense website
    checking it's on client mode
    manually entering the DNS address of my router - 10.0.1.1.
    Trashing the internetconfig preferences from the library
    making sure that ethernet is at the top of my network port configurations
    Plugging it into a powered USB hub
    Trying it on my MacBook (running Leopard).
    Still can't connect - just a self-assigned IP - even on on the new macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated as I really can't get this to work and it's beginning to take over my life!. I thought it was working after I entered the DNS address but it just went down again the next day.
    Thanks.

    This is probably repeating the steps which you have taken already, but I thought I'd put them in one place just in case.
    Problem:
    If you're able to see other wireless networks but not your own. (And it works with AppleTV version 1.x)
    It can be any of the following:
    1. No wireless signal/out of range (check your multicast setting and put this as low as possible, check the range with other wireless devices/moving your appletv closer)
    2. The wireless SSID is set to invisible/private (use "Other" on AppleTV and enter the SSID manually.)
    3. The AppleTV doesn't support the channel used. (Tune the wireless to use a lower channel such as those under 10.)
    4. The AppleTV is not supporting the security of your encryption.
    Troubleshooting:
    1. First try setting up a basic wireless network with no security, no frills such as a high multicast rate or high channel number and as a basic wireless b or g network. Position the AppleTV next to the basestation and then attempt to make the appletv connect to it. (Do not use an AdHoc network with your mac, as the AppleTV doesn't see these.) At this stage you're just trying to see if the AppleTV is even able to connect to your hardware. If this doesn't work there is possibly a larger problem at hand.
    2. If this works, then move the devices to their desired locations. (This checks that it's not a range/interference issue.)
    3. If this is still working, then the problem lays in a configuration setting. Firstly enable a security protocol, avoid WEP. Keep adding settings, keeping changes from the default to a minimum.
    If you can't get past step 1, then it could be an issue with your wifi base station. Try getting the AppleTV to connect to a different wireless basestation (perhaps borrow one from a friend or a neighbour's unsecured network.)

  • How do you determine the IP address of an ethernet bridge?

    I've got a US Robotics ethernet bridge connected to a Mac running OS 10.3.9, and I'm trying to access the bridge's web browser interface. (Once I get to that interface, I'll be home free.)
    The bridge does not have a default IP address, the connection software on its CD-ROM is PC-only, and USR tech support is baffled. So how can I find out its address?
    I've tried looking in System Preferences -> Network, in System Profiler and in Network Utility, but it appears that they only display the computer's address, not the bridge's.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I presume you are taking about the USR5430?
    No, it's the USR5432, which unfortunately doesn't have a default IP address (unlike the 5430). The USR site has this to say about connecting to the 5432:
    Macintosh and Linux Users
    The networking device that the Bridge is connected to probably has some form of Web User Interface where you can view a client list. Refer to your networking device's documentation to determine how to view this information.
    When you find the client list, locate the Bridge. You can do this by verifying the LAN MAC address that is on the bottom label of the Bridge and what appears in the client list. Write down the IP address of the Bridge for future reference.
    Open a Web browser, type in the IP address of the Bridge, and then press Enter. This will open the Web User Interface of the Bridge.
    The bridge only has an IP address when it is in
    configuration mode.
    That makes sense. And I am in fact trying to locate the bridge's address in order to configure it.
    Nevertheless, thank you for the suggestion.

  • Setting up router with ethernet bridge

    I have a new computer and want to re-setup my Linksys Model BEFSX41 Version 2 broadband firewall router with the Linksys Model WET11 wireless-b ethernet bridge to use my laptop wirelessly.  I don't want the desktop pc to be wireless, just the laptop.  Do I follow the steps in the FAQ "Hos do I setup my Cable modem with my Linksys Router?".  Then are there more instructions for the ethernet bridge?
    The pc is in the basement with the cable modem and Linksys router.  The ethernet bridge is upstairs where the laptop is.  Is this easy enough do to, or am I better off paying $75 to a computer tech to come to my house to do it?
    Thank you for any suggestions.
    Diane

    You cannot do the job that you described with the equipment that you listed.
    It is not clear from your note how you intend to use the WET11.  A wireless bridge is designed to receive a wireless signal (from a wireless router) and send it to a computer that is wired to the WET11.
    For example, the following setup would work:
    modem -- wireless router )))      ((( Wet11 -- computer
    but you never mentioned that you have a wireless router.
    Note that your WET11 cannot broadcast a network, for example, the following DOES NOT work:
    modem -- BEFSX41 -- WET11 )))      ((( wireless computer
    However, instead of (incorrectly) trying to use the WET11 to broadcast a network, you could use a WAP (wireless access point) to broadcast your network.   For example, the following would work:
    modem--BEFSX41--WAP )))   ((( wireless computer
                                      and/or   ((( WET11--wired computer
    For a WAP, you could use a WAP54G or a WAP200.
    Hope this helps.

  • Web-based utility will not load on new wet54g ethernet bridge

    I just got a WET54g ethernet bridge to connect my bluray player to my existing network (wrt54gs router).  I cannot get the setup cd to recognize the bridge connected to the laptop or the router.  I thought that it would be no problem, just use web-based set-up.  When attempting to access 192.168.1.226 I have to enter the password three times and then a blank page is loaded.  Chat support ended up getting disconnected, so no luck there.  Supposedly some of the steps chat wallked me through updated the firmware through ftp download, but I feel like nothing was done since you can't access the set-up page. Any suggestions are welcome.  I'm running vista if that helps.

    Start it from Scratch...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WET54G(ethernet bridge), wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Follow the link here to re-configure the WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Also under the configuration type select Static IP Address : For IP Address enter : 192.168.1.226, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and save the settings...
    After doing these you can unplug the Ethernet Bridge from the router and power cycle your router and the ethernet bridge both...Connect your ethernet bridge to your bluray player and test for active connection...

  • WRT610N v2- Which Ethernet Bridge to buy to go with it for LG BD370 BluRay player?

    I have a WRT610N v2 router, which I LOVE.  I need an ethernet bridge (to connect a LG BD370) Blu-Ray DVD player.  I've spoken with Linksys tech support & I'm sad to say, got misinformed.  I'd actually ordered a PLS300 (which I cancelled) when I found out there weren't any updates for it.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. 
    The tech support person first told me I needed a WET610N & then changed her mind.
    The WRT610N is located in the office about 15 yards from where I need to connect the  ethernet support to the entertainment system.   I also have a wireless printer (Lexmark Platinum PRO905 that is about 5 feet from the LG Blu ray player.  Is the ethernet bridge going to interfere with the Blu ray player?
    I'm just wanting to get connected to NetFlix.  I've paid for this service since last spring but am just now getting around to sorting this out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA 

    Thanks, Gollum!  I've now got the WET610N ordered & the EZXS55W ethernet switch.  They both should be here by Friday.
    The WRT610N router is in my office, hardwired to the HughesNet modem & HP Desktop running Windows XP Pro.  The two new laptops (HP dv7-3078nr and HP dv8t-1000 (both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)) and the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 AIO are in my den (about 30 feet away).  Right now, the dv8 (my main laptop I keep on continuosly & the Lexmark Pro905 are both here in the den, connected wirelessly to the WRT610N.
    Here is the configuration of the entertainment system:
    LG 50PS60 Plasma HDTV
    LG LHT854 Surround Sound
    LG ACC97WK-R Wireless Rear Speaker
    LG BD370 BluRay DVD Player
    I have DISH network with a 722K DVR
    Do I need to connect the WET610N first?  Then add the bridge?  This is where I am afraid I am going to mess up. 
    Right now, everything is working GREAT. 
    Do you think I need to hardwire the Lexmark printer into the switch? 
    Could someone please advise (in very simple steps) what I need to do to get the WET610N & ethernet bridge connected?
    All I want to do is be able to download NetFlix movies!  I am scared that the (((HughesNet))) is going to be the problem due to their low FAP cap.  Due to my location (I am 25 miles from the closest town with wireless (Verizon, Sprint, etc) offices & have already tried 3 different wireless cards here (none of which worked due to our location).
    I'm beginning to think it would have been simpler to just buy the LG BD390 (wifi already installed) & put my BD370 on eBay! LOL
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA

  • Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge

    I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room.  Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info.  The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.    
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem solved and improved on
    Thanks Klatch,
    The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz.  I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router.  This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands.  (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
    To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars).  The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is.  Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge.  You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port.  The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled.  I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player).  All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands.  The first floor coverage is excellent.   I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
    If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!!    The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet!  So..  If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router.   Anything can be done with a little effort.  Thanks

  • Airport Express as an Ethernet Bridge....Can it be done?

    I have both a Airport Extreme Base Station and a Express Base Station. I need to connect my TV to the internet (TV has no Wi-Fi, but is internet capable). Can I use my Express Base as an Ethernet Bridge? I already have both "Stations" on one network allowing me to play music from my computer through my home theater system and use the internet at the same time.

    If you have the newer Airport Extreme with "n", not the flying saucer style, then you would probably be better off in the long run to buy the newer "n" version of the Airport Express.
    That way your network would run faster overall then the older b/g series.
    I sold all 3 of my older Airport Express units on eBay and replaced them with the newer "n' models.
