Can anyone recommend an ethernet modem for AirPort Express?

Well I think I want an ethernet modem as I don't know the differences between those and routers or whatever. I just want to access my broadband ADSL Demon account wirelessly with my AirPort Express. I'm currently 'using' an XBridgeDSL bought from the Apple store, but it's proving unreliable (I constantly have to reset it by turning the power on and off). The only other one Apple sell which seems suitable is the D-Link but that apparently only works if one computer is using the connection. Any ideas?

The only true Ethernet Modem that passes the IP address to the Express is the X-Modem but unfortunately it is as yet still not available due to manufacturing delays. However you can use an ADSL Router by switching off the distribute IP addresses in the Airport Express. The only down side to that is that you may have to configure port forwarding rules in the router if you want to do iChat AV conferencing etc.

  • Best Compatible Ethernet Modem for Airport Express

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying an AirPort Express. I've had one before but it broke. I used it in conjunction with a D-Link modem however it would not work well if i was running more than one computer. Basically I just want a modem that is easy to set up and works great. Any Ideas?
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Thanks for your reply. Basically I want to create a wireless network with the airport express to run more than one computer off. so what else would I need? Previously I used the airport express and a D-Link 300-T ADSL Modem. However I had trouble running more than one computer off it.
    Thanks

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

  • Is it Possible in JSF? Can anyone recommend any java Technology for this?

    I am doing Post Graduate Degree in Computer Science. This is my final semester and doing project work.
    Any body having idea about my requirment, help and guide to me
    My description and questions are as follows:
    Current Approach:
    PHP has been used to achieve the flexibility of creating custom images on-the-fly. Using this approach we were able to create a web-interface similar to the application client, where we could display links and get the exact look and feel of the application client.
    Drawback:
    This approach forces us to use two different technologies Java and PHP, since our system uses 'Java' accessing all the API's from PHP becomes a problem. while PHP provides a way to invoke any java method. It comes with a draw back, the method calls are little slow. This delay's are loading of web-page.
    Requirment:
    1. Creating custom images on various locations of the screen
    2. The Exact look and feel of the application map should be achieved
    3. Place elements and links correctly as in application-client reflect any changes
    4. Generation events on the Links and Elements
    5. Setting Backgroud images for different maps
    Questions:
    1. is it possible in JavaServer Faces (BETA)?
    2. If it is possible is JavaServer Faces(BETA) How to create custom images and create interfaces among them?
    3.Can anyone recommend any java Technology for doing this?
    Anybody having idea, help and guide me for doing my project

    hi,
    I think you can use JSF

  • Can anyone recommend a quality microphone for recording instruments?

    Hey,
    I'm a Garageband and digital audio newbie. I understand you can connect a microphone to record in, instead of using the built-in mic. Can anyone recommend a couple different good quality mics? I want to record an acoustic guitar. Or maybe a web link that discusses how to do this?
    Also, in the Garageband Help it describes as an alternative using an audio interface between the mic and the computer. Can anyone recommend something for this? Again, maybe an online article that discusses this in more detail?
    I can't really find any specific information to help with this other than the vague sales and Help material.

    My personal fav's for the sound quality and price point are the Apex 415 and Apex 460. Both are condenser mic's so then need phantom power, but the 460 comes with a phantom powered preamp so you should be good to go assuming you have an appropriate interface to your mac. Price on them is ~$160CDN for the 415 and ~$260CDN for the 460. The sound quality on these is stunning - rich, warm, and exceptionally detailed, especially compared to the shure SM57's. I will agree though that the SM57 is a terrific all-purpose mic (the design hasn't changed in 20 years, it's hard to argue the accepted capability of these mic's!), but I've found that it just hasn't been able to do justice to the rich sound of my Mesa/Boogie MarkIV. Last night I was practicing with my band and was testing out an Apex 415 in place of the SM57 I usually use to mic my guitar cabinet, and when I played the sound back, I commented to the drummer that it sounded really good. He was looking directly at me, listened, and after a second realized that I wasn't actually playing my guitar and was instead playing back the recording. The expression on his face was priceless..."holy $hit that sounds good, I thought you were actually playing!".

  • Can anyone recommend a good app for designing and printing labels?

    I have just switched from pc to mac and have pages on my macbook but it does not have a label function (please apple sort this out its the only major flaw!) so can anyone recommend a good app that will do what a pc does? I do not really want to pay £85+ for office for mac just for the word program

    One way to find an app at the App Store is to use keywords.
    Type   print labels   in the search field top right corner of the App Store window then press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
    Click one of the apps listed. Always check Requirements under Information and definitely read customer reviews before purchasing and make sure there is a support link available in case you need to contact the app developer for questions.
    This forum is mainly for troubleshooting the App Store.
    For feedback for software designed for printing labels, try posting your topic in the Mac OS X community here.

  • Can anyone recommend a notebook cooler for a 17" Unibody MBP?

    Hi,
    I've been looking at notebook/laptop coolers for my Macbook Pro. Can anyone recommend what the best pad might be?
    I've been doing quite a bit of research and see it's not entirely straightforward. For instance, the Zalman ZM-NC1500 has the grill/fans in the wrong place for my MBP - really the cooling area needs to be at the screen end, to directly cool the GPU and CPU.
    Likewise quite a few of the better notebook coolers don't seem to be available in the UK, such as the Vizo Ninja 2.
    Any ideas what I could go for?

    I bought my MBP as a desktop replacement and it gets far hotter than my Powerbook did at peak load. I'm looking to get something to elevate the machine whist cooling the bottom of the unit.
    I've seen the NZXT Cryo Lx is well reviewed and actually seems to do a good job. Can't find a UK supplier with stock though.

  • Can anyone recommend a simple example for displacementmapfilter? I just want a simple expand effect.

    As the title says, can anyone recommend any simple displacementmapfilter examples?
    I have a bitmap image of a sleeping animal that I would like to add a small effect to that will make it look like it is breathing. I'm guessing this should be pretty simple with displacementmapfilter - a spherical distortion tweened over time over the animal's chest.
    Any suggestions?

    i don't think there's anything simple about the displacementmapfilter. i've tried to explain it before but i've never had the feeling that i was able to convey understanding.
    here's the displacementmapfilter at work:  www.kglad.com, click snippets, click displacement.
    here's the source code:  www.kglad.com/Files/forums/displacementMapFilter_AS3.fla
    p.s.  there's commented-out code in there that used a squeeze and bulge function during my early experiments that could probably be used by you.

  • Anyone recommend an ADSL modem for use with iChatAV?

    Hi,
    I have recently bought an iSight to run with my iBook 700mhz & 1mbps Broadband connection, and intend to get an airport express shortly.
    I have accepted that I must ditch my current Netgear DM602 Modem/Router because it simply wont work with iChatAV no matter what you do with the ports.. and trust me I have fiddled extensively.
    I was thinking of Airport Express because the Airtunes sounds pretty cool and it's also one more Apple link in the chain which further reduces native connectivity conflicts..
    Anyway. I am looking to get a new ADSL modem that is all but garunteed to work well with iChatAV (using my iSight) and Airport Express..
    I have searched the net but cant find anything terribly useful.
    Does anyone out there have a good reliable - not too expensive - ADSL modem that works with that setup that they can recommend?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    SW

    Hey,
    No Firewalls running no.. Well no software ones, just the hardware one in the DM602.
    Incidentally I managed to find another DM602 user who said to me that the Modem / Router in 'Modem Only' mode works fine.. just using the Airport Express/Extreme set up as the router.
    Will have to wait and see once I have bought the Airport Express as Modem Only mode without another Router caused me all kinds of confusion and left me unable to connect to the net or even to the Modem/Router directly when I was fiddling around with it.
    But yeah, I agree that it's odd that Mac make everything else BUT the modem to connect to an ADSL line.. and then recommend rubbish 3rd party hardware that wont allow it's customers to use it's own well designed software..
    Bit annoying.. you try and be a good Mac disciple and model consumer - Mac all the way, and still run into grief..

  • Which ADSL Modem for Airport Express?

    OK. This is simple... or so I thought.
    Here's the situation: I have just subscribed to Demon's broadband service (in the UK) and I want to create an AirPort Express wireless network in my home. I have a Windows-based laptop and an iMac G5 (with an AirPort card factory-installed) that I wish to share this connection.
    I know that the USB modem that Demon supply will be useless and that I need to buy an ADSL Ethernet modem to connect to the AirPort Express base station, but can anyone advise which one I need?
    I've read loads on this matter and there seems to be some controversy surrounding which ADSL Ethernet modems work with AX, especially when wishing to connect more than one computer to the conenction. I'd be really grateful if anyone could tell me which ADSL Ethernet modem to buy to fulfil my wish!
    Also, any recommendations on which wireless networking adapter card to buy for my non Wi-Fi laptop to work with the above set-up?
    AirPort Express   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    My flatmate and I faced exactly the same dilemma two months ago, and while I can't give you a comparison of different brands, I can tell you that we ended up buying a SafeCom modem router, which works perfectly with our airport express, providing internet connectivity to two and sometimes three laptops at the same time.
    I will warn you (and you may already have discovered this) that High Street electronics stores will pretend not to know what you are asking for if you say you want an ethernet-out device; they want to sell you non-Apple wireless transmitters.
    The modem router we bought was far and away the cheapest alternative on the market (at £25), which doubtless contributed to the reluctance of retailers to dig it out of the dark corners of their topmost shelves for us. The set up was a breeze (as compared with the set up for the USB modem that came with our broadband service) and we haven't had any problems at all. No interruptions of service, no slowdowns, nothing.
    (I'm not sure whether my user info indicates this, but I live in the U.K.)

  • What to use as an ADSL modem for Airport Express/Extreme?

    I am in the UK.  My broadband comes down the telephone line.  What modem should I use to connect to an Airport Express or Airport Extreme router?

    My ISP is Demon, which is now owned by Vodafone.  I telephoned Demon and was told (a) that it only supplies the Technicolor TG582n as a courtesy (b) that it supplies no other hardware (c) that I might be able to make the TG582n work in bridge mode but that Demon provides no support for that - meaning no help or advice either (d) that any router bought off-the-shelf in the UK which supports ADSL 2+ will be compatible with Demon's service and (e) that any modem which supports ADSL 2+ should also therefore work.  Pressed by me for the names of routers that other clients of Demon's use, I was told that these included routers manufactured by Netgear, Cisco and Draytek but that this is not an exhaustive list.
    In summary, Demon says that any off-the-shelf modem that supports ADSL 2+ should work.
    To return to the question that I first asked, therefore, I would be grateful if anyone can give me the names of any ADSL 2+ modems which work optimally with Airports Express or Extreme.
    If anyone reading this post has any experience they can share, that would be very kind and much appreciated.
    If any ADSL 2+ modem will do as well as another, it would be helpful to know that also.
