Best way to set up AirPort Extreme with NetGear CG3100D-2

Hi All,
I Just purchased a Airport Extreme and what to use it on my current cable broadband network. But i have a few issues with doing this, due to my exsisting setup.
Here is my current set up.
NetGear CG3100D-2 which i have 2 Port forwards set up on this router (i have 2 CCTV DVR's connected via ethernet to this router, so i can remotley view DVR's).
2 Apple TV's  ( 1 connected via ethernet and 1 wifi)
Multiple wifi devices.
Here is what i would like to achieve on my Network.
I want to be able to remotley access my 2 CCTV DVR's and also be able to access my AEBS-USB External HDD Remotely.
I have tried so many ways of connecting AEBS but havent be able to achieve what i want from my network..
I have spent hours trying to do this so any help or information would be much appreciated.
If the solution is difficult to set up could i get some step by step direction on how to achive this if possible..
cheers.
oh and i have access to airport utility 5.6 and i am obviously running Mac (apple household)

My gut feel is that the bottleneck is the link from your home to your ISP.  Airport will not address that issue.
I'm not familiar with AT7T U-verse.  Is that DSL or cable.  If it's DSL, be aware of the following...  The nominal data rate is 700Kbps.  Optional (extra cost) versions are available at 3Mbps and 5Mbps.  In all cases, these nomal rates are valid only if you live in a tent on the phone company's central office.  Physical distance from the C.O. will reduce the actual rates.
Nominal cable rates range from around 3Mbps to as high as 30Mbps, depending on how much you're paying for the service.  Unlike DSL, these nominal data rates do not change with distance from the provider.  However, also unlike DSL, the cable data rates will change when neighbors are using the system as the facility is shared.  (With DSL, you have your own physical wire pair to the C.O.)

    what is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

    It sounds like you have the AirPort Extreme configured as the "main" router on your network.
    If that is the case, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    Power up the Time Capsule
    Connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications  > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode = Off
    Click the Internet icon, the click the Internet tab
    Insure that the setting for Connect Using = Ethernet
    Insure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off....order of power down does not matter
    Wait a minute
    Power up the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
    Power up the Time Capsule next and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
    You will need to reset the backup path from your Mac to the Time Capsule to get backups going again
    Open System Preference (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups or Use Disk and backups should begin again in a few minutes
    If you do not want to leave the Mac connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet, remove the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule, then log on to the AirPort Extreme wireless network

  • How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

    How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
    When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro.  What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
    For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green.  If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
    If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
    The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green.  Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
    WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
    NOTE:  If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
    Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did.  He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
    Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse. 
    THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
    First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
    down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up.  If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it.  Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).

    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.

    I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
    I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
    I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
    Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
    On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
    The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
    I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
    I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
    I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

  • Set up Airport Extreme with 2 Airport Express connected by CAT5??

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express. My plan was to use to Airtunes with my AV receiver in my basement. Unfortunately, because the distance between these two areas is long (and separated by two floors) I'm not able to get a strong enough signal with the Airport Express to use Airtunes. I bought another Airport Express to put on the middle floor of our house but the signal in the basement was still not strong enough even with this addition.
    I do have a way of connecting the middle floor of our house with the basement area by a CAT5 ethernet cable. My plan now is to connect the two Airport Express modules by their ethernet ports with this cable. The Airport Express on the middle floor connects with the Airport Extreme base station wirelessly without any problems. My question is what is the proper setup for the 2nd Airport Express connected by ethernet in my basement.
    Airport Tech support said this could be done. They recommended setting up a new wireless network with the 2nd Airport Express by "fooling" into thinking it was connected directly to the router but using the same network name with a different wireless channel as my Airport Extreme base station. This setup actually works for several hours but then the Airport Express module that is connected to the Airport Extreme blinks amber. Interestingly the 2nd Airport Express with usually remain with the green light on.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to set this up regarding network configuration with the Airport Utility?
    Thanks

    That will work with as long as the AirPort Express (AX) is connected via Ethernet. The only other setting you need to make is to configure it to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
    If this one looses connection, then something is wrong with the AX or the Ethernet connection (cable and/or connectors).

  • Best way to hook up Airport Express with a current Airport Extreme network

    I currently have an Airport Extreme (7.2 firmware, N version, but right now running mixed mode because all my clients are G, and using WPA/WPA2), and I am thinking about getting an Express to use it to share a printer and the Airtunes feature.
    My Extreme is on the top floor of a 3 floor house, and has good coverage over all the house. So I don't necessarily need the Express to extend the range on the bottom, but if it helps get a stronger signal, then why not. My stereo and printer will be on the bottom floor as well.
    There seems to be several ways to add the Express to the existing network, but I don't which one is the most appropriate or what will work the best.
    1) Do I use a WDS network?
    2) Do I extend the network?
    3) Or setup up the Express as just a wireless client for Airtunes/printer sharing?
    4) Can I put a USB hub on the Express and share a printer and a hard disk? (I would do this on my extreme base station, but its in a location that I can't attach it to a printer or hard disk)
    Thanks for any help.

    would this approach work if the extreme were in "n" mode and all you wanted to do was set up the express for air tunes? would "b" or "g" machines be able to "see" the air tunes "station?
    Since the AX is an 802.11g device you would need to run the AEBS in an 802.11g compatible mode for the AX to wirelessly connect. Therefore your 802.11b/g clients could join the AEBS's wireless network. The AX service would be available to any device connected to the network.
    if one had a dual band network (an extreme in "n" and an older snow base station for "b" and "g" connectivity), how would this affect the use of an express for air tunes?
    In a dual-band network one of the base stations is acting as a bridge. Therefore every device connected is on the same subnet and able to use the services of the AX. This is regardless to which base station they are connected or if they are connected wirelessly or via Ethernet.

  • How do I set up Airport Extreme with cable modem and router?

    Hi--
    I'm having a house built and all of the wiring for TV, phone, and internet will be centralized in a closet. The cable modem can be placed there as well. In one room in the basement I want to use my Airport Extreme for my iMac and USB external hard drives. In another location of the basement, I'd like to set up a Time Capsule for another desktop and USB printer. If the cat5e comes out of the wall at each location, I "think" I need a router at the closet location. I also thought I might need an Airport Express upstairs on first or second floor to boost signal for my laptop. The house isn't that big so maybe that's overkill. So beyond the router question, do I want to set up a roaming network and have the Airport Express connected via ethernet or just wireless if the thought is that I need this? Finally, if I should connect cable modem to router to Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, etc., in what order and ports does the equipment get connected? Many thanks!!

    Welcome to the discussions, Forum Girl!
    It would be best to position the cable modem and main router in the central location like the closet if possible. The other devices would connect via ethernet to the wall jacks in each room.
    If you could setup a "roaming" wireless network as you mention, this will give you better wireless performance and coverage. This is the way commercial establishments like airports, businesses, etc. are configured for wireless.
    The order of connection would go something like this: ethernet connection > cable modem >main router>devices. Devices could be computers, routers, a backup device, etc. Since the Extreme has only 3 LAN ports for ethernet connections, you will also need to plan to install an "ethernet switch" near the location of the main router to provide enough ethernet jacks. If you are planning to use DirectTV, etc or your audio/video devices require ethernet connections (most new products do for updates and extra features), be sure to plan for that as well.
    Make sure that CAT5e or CAT6 wiring is run so you will be able to take advantage of faster gigabit speeds.
    Finally, it would be a good idea to work with an IT specialist to go over your plans to make sure all the bases are covered. This would be money well spent.

  • Setting up airport extremes with mobile netbook cart

    I work in a school environment, running windows.  We have four mobile carts in the high school.  We have an airport extreme for each of the carts.  In our situation, the airport extremes are mobile.  They do not stay in one location all the time.  The teachers connect the airports to a wired connection in their classrooms.  We have the netbooks set up to automatically connect to an airport when in range.  I have each of the airports setup the same way; create a wireless network, each has it's own network name, radio mode is automatic, channel selection is automatic. Internet options are connect using ethernet, connection sharing is off (bridge mode) and tcp/ip is static.  There are a couple of issues we seem to be having.  One is that the airport with the stronger signal is not always the one the netbook connects to.  I could have one classroom of netbooks connecting to an airport that is located two classrooms down the hall when there is airport in the classroom that has a stronger signal. What could be causing this?  We push out settings to the netbooks via group policy, such as redirected desktop and network shares.  When a user logs in they don't seem to get the whole policy all of the time.  If you restart or logoff then login, the netbook gets the policy correctly.  Could this be a problem when multiple airports are in range of the netbook trying to access the network?  Is having the airports mobile, moving from one room to the next, a bad idea?  Thanks for the help.

    tried this but it didnt work that well, the distance between the main airport and the extenders is too long. Also, when choosing extending, it came bugging me with incorrect dhcp settings. Couldn't solve that.
    So i configured allt he extremes with creating a wireless network, same ssid and same wpa settings. Als bridgedsetting is disabled.
    That seems to work. Anyone with an opinion about this configuration?

  • Best way to set up home network with NAS

    I'm pretty novice with networking, but do have some knowledge and know what I am trying to accomplish, but the two just aren't clicking.
    Here's what I'd like to do: Have a storage central to our home office, which consists of two iMacs, a MacBook Pro, iPad, two wireless printers, two iPhones. I just purchased a 6TB Lacie 2big NAS and the 6th gen AirPort Extreme. Currently, I am able to access the storage wirelessly just fine, which is great, but I am working with large files (10gb-60gb) and needing to move them a little quicker. Most of the time, these files are being dumped onto the one iMac by way of Compact Flash cards via a highspeed card reader. I need to be able to access those files from (most importantly) the iMacs and (not so importantly) the MBP, which again, I can right now, but the transfer from CF card to iMac to NAS takes way too long wirelessly. So, what are my options? Do I get two more gigabit Ethernet cables and run them from the iMacs directly into the other two ports on the AirPort Extreme or should I purchase a separate gigabit switch then connect that with NAS and two iMacs or is there another option that will give me optimal transfer speeds from either iMac (including external HD's attached to the iMacs) to the NAS?
    Thank you so much in advance.

    should I have the base station set to run bridge vs route or does that not affecting anything?
    If you have the AirPort base station set to "bridge", then the signal will pass through the AirPort and on to your modem/router which will do the actual "routing". 
    That's OK, as long as the modem/router also has 1,000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports.
    However.....if the modem/router has slower 10/100 Mpbs ports, the Gigabit signal will slow down by a factor of 10 passing through your router, and file transfers will be much, much slower, as you can imagine.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that to get faster Gigabit speeds, everything has to be Gigabit capable.
    Unfortunately, Bridge Mode is the correct network setting for the AirPort Extreme if you have a modem/router "upstream" on the network.  Then you may get caught in a Catch 22 situation.
    if I opt to use a switch (so I can add another 2big NAS), will that result in slower sports vs going straight through the AirPort Extreme
    No, speed will not be affected either way, since it makes no difference how things are set up....so choose the setup that is easiest to implement.
    In other words, if it is easier to run a single Ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme to the Gigabit switch and plug other devices into the switch, then that is the way to go.  The performance will be the same as if you had run two separate Ethernet cables to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Best way to set up wireless Internet with my situation?

    Hello All,
    I am looking for a little help. I have a PBG4 and a new imac. I would like them both to have a wireless internet connection. Reason being is that there is no phone line/cable Internet connection in the room the imac is in. The cable internet comes into the living room where i often use my PBG4.
    Is there a way to set up my internet connection, so that the internet cable enters a router and both computers can access the wireless connection with no cabled attached. A USB printer port would be nice also. On paper it looks like the Airport Express can do this. Is this correct? Or am I missing something. I like the fact that is has the music/audio jack is well. While shopping for routers it looks like a lot of them need a home computer to be hard wired into them.
    What would my best option be?
    Thank you for your time in advance. Sorry about my lack of tech knowledge.

    No you're not.

    They can have a computer hard wired in, but for all routers it is not essential.

  • Trying to set up airport extreme with a dsl modem and get DSN server not found message .   Get a green light on airport but no internet modem and get

    Am attempting to set up a Wi Fi network with an airport extreme.    Get most of the way through the setup  (have a dsl modem) but get an error that it cannot connect to the internet.   Says I have a problem with a DSN server and asks for  what appears to be a series of numbers.    I had an old airport express working for some time and never saw this.  
    Decided to upgrade since the express was not powerful enough to work in the whole house.

    It is always a good idea when changing out networking hardware to perform a complete power recycle of all of your networking gear.
    Please try the following:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s). Leave them powered-off for at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to make sure that is has enough time to initialize.
    Power-up (plug into power) the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: The status light may continue to flash amber after this timeframe. This is ok as it may just be letting you know that some additional configuration items need to be taken care of like setting up wireless security.)
    Power-up the computer(s).
    Computers connected to the AEBS by either wire or wireless should now be able to access the Internet. Please post back your results.

  • How do I Set up airport extreme with existing fios wireles network

    Hello al, l I have an existing wireless network with an arcitonic  wireless router provider with my fios tv. Everything is working well. Now I want to add airport extreme to increase my network range and later add apple tv /net flicks  I,m not great with this stuff. Some wold be great.

    You will need to establish a permanent Ethernet cable connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Fios router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme and then configure the AriPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network".
    You can configure the AirPort Extreme to provide another separate wireless network if you wish, or if you assign the same wireless network name, and use the same security setting and password that the Fios is using, the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage....and you won't have to change wireless networks to connect to the wireless on the Extreme.
    Follow the guided setup using AirPort Utility to "create a wireless network". The setup will suggest that you configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode, which would be the correct setting when used with the Fios router.

  • Setting up Airport Extreme with Arescom MSN NetDSL 800 Modem

    Hi There,
    I helped a friend set up his new Airport Extreme yesterday and although we were able to get the network and internet working, we are getting the Double Nat error (amber blinking light). This was only after hours of trial and error and the only setting that gave us a successful internet connection and network was to set the Extreme to "Share a public IP address" with IPv4 configured manually and defining a DHCP range. Again, this results in a connectable network for all clients and gives access to the internet but the Extreme is telling us that there's a double NAT error.
    The only info I can find about the Arescom 800 modem is that it is designed for one connection and only has two IP addresses to distribute. One for itself and one for the computer or router connected to it. So while our setup seems to work and is the most logical of the choices, the Extreme still doesn't like it. It suggests using bridging mode but that results in no IPs being distributed past the first connection to the modem (the Extreme).
    Any ideas to get that beautiful green light instead of this amber error flasher?
    Thanks in advance.

    That's the plan for now. Thanks Duane! Although I hate seeing that eyesore amber blinking light. He may end up with a new DSL modem in the near future anyway because he's thinking of upgrading his DSL service. I guess he'll just have to ignore the light for now unless there's an easy configuration option I'm missing?
