Can I replace the FiOS D-Link Wireless Router with an AEBS?

I have FiOS and the Verizon supplied D-Link Wireless a/g router that came with the service. I've been happy as a clam with the service but I just bought my first Mac (a 15" MBP) and an AEBS. Ideally it would be nice to replace the D-Link with the AEBS. I tried to do this and everything worked except for FiOS Video On Demand (VOD). It complained about some router issue. So my current setup includes using both the D-Link and the AEBS whereby I have wireless turned off on the D-Link and my AEBS bridged to the D-Link. This seems to be working fine in that wirless to the AEBS is working and my FiOS TV functions are working as expected.
Again, ideally, I'd like to just have AEBS in the mix and take out the D-Link router. Can this be done? It seems the Verizon supplied NIM box likes to only be plugged into the D-Link and not the AEBS.
BTW, I haven't found any definitive posts about how to do this. I've seen posts on the bridging aspect and when an ActionTec router is in the mix but not a D-Link.
Thanks in advance.

Having similar problem - not clear from your post...did you put the Actiontec in bridge mode and the AEBS Connection Sharing to distribute IP addresses? Or is the AEBS in bridge mode? I thought the Actiontec had to handle NAT, DHCP, etc. and the AEBS had to be in bridge mode. If you have the Actiontec in bridge mode and the AEBS doing the DHCP, NAT, etc., can you describe how you have it wired and the settings in more detail? I am trying to extend my network with an Airport Express using my AEBS as the base station, but can't seem to establish the WDS with the AEBS in bridge mode...am stuck right now with the AEBS in bridge mode and dead spots in the farther reaches of my house. Any ideas or help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Can I replace the keys on a MB air with keys of a different style?

    So I'm in the market for a MBA, but I'm not the hugest fan of the keyboard. What I am a huge fan of is this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg . I type on this keyboard every day, and it has quite literally become the highlight of my day. Something about it is just so... intuitive. For those who haven't used it, it uses the same key style as the white MacBooks of old, but with a metal background.
    My question is this: can I replace the stock keycaps on the MBA with the ones from the other Apple Keyboard?
    Will this require an extensive amount of service from Apple, or can I do it myself?
    Any and all help is appreciated- thanks for reading.

    I wouldnt suggest doing that type of modification.  Apple will not do that for you.  If you are intent on that keyboard and your MB Air has bluetooth spend the extra $20 and get the wireless one.

  • Can not connect the ipad 2 to wireless router. been working fine but some reason not working now being trying to solve this since 4pm today

    Can anyone help can not get my ipad to connect to wireless today. has been working fine but all of a sudden will not connect to Router. I have a kindle and a mobile and both of these will connect to the router wireless but the ipad will not.
    Been to my parents with the i pad and this will connect to their wireless router.
    Can not think of anything else to try

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Can you replace the HD in a macbook pro with a SSD?

    I recently got a new macbook pro 17" 2.2ghz i7 with 720gb SATA HD and was wondering if it would be easy enough (considering it is only a SATA) to replace the current SATA with like a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), or if its only designed to work with a SATA HD and i'm s.o.l.??

    Yes it works great doesn't it.  I replaced mine the day I got it.  I purchased the parts first and then bought the mac.  I got 2 intel 320's 600gb hard drives.  I purchased an optibay and then put both of the hard drives in the macbook pro and then did a raid 0, so now I have 1.2tb of space.  I also purchased 16gb of memory for it, so that couple with the quad-core i7 2.3Ghz processor it's blazing fast, it starts up in 7 seconds.  I love it.

  • Can I replace the motherboard in a late 2011 with a newer one

    I've been cursed with the dreaded 2011 video card nonsense. I need a solution and it has to be out of pocket, I don't have Applecare. But I don't want to do it more than once. So if I could use a newer motherboard, it might save me some money in the long run.

    You can certainly get a replacement board from Apple, but too many people have been stung that way, going through logic board after logic board.
    The only real 'fix' for the problem seems to be a BGA reballing. Some have had failure even after a reball so make certain that you select a shop that offers at least one year's warranty.
    Good luck,

  • Can i replace the optical drive in my G5 with a HDD

    I have a G4 and I was thinking of using the HDD from it to try to repair my G5, but it is IDE, and the only place it would go in a G5 is the superdrive slot. I know I could use target disk mode, but I seeem to have misplaced my FireWire cable.
    Cheers.

    What OS is on the G5? You can't do a Disk Utility repair on the hard drive you are booted on. Besides it's unlikely the G5 will boot using the OS installed on the G4 HD. Get another Firewire cable.
    Do you have the G5 Install/Restore DVD? If so, boot using it & use Disk Utility on it to do the repairs

  • How can I replace the previous owner's apple ID with my own apple ID?

    I recently bought a second hand iPod touch - maybe not the best idea. Anyway, as default setting the machine still has the previous owner's apple ID and email, so that I cannot download anything. How can I change this?

    Connect to iTunes and Restore the Device as New... Then it will truly be Yours...

  • Can I replace the optical drive in my iMac with a 2.5" HDD?

    mid-2007 Intel-based iMac
    optical drive is shot
    cant install winxp on bootcamp without it
    thought it'd be easier to have a separate (already windows-formatted) drive (pulled from my laptop) and choose to boot to either at startup.

    possibly, but you need an adapter like this for example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/ADPTADRV/
    Message was edited by: shldr2thewheel---not sure about how this would work with putting it in the optical drive slot.  It should work if put in the spot reserved for the HDD.

  • Can I replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro?

    Can I replace the airport extreme card (Wireless G) to the new N card that come in the new MBP?

    Yes. It has been done. I have heard that the wireless n card for the mac pro will fit the macbook pro. I haven't done it yet though...I'm undecided about whether to update my laptop so i'm going to wait a while before i void my warranty.
    An apple dealer have offered to perform the installation but can't guarantee it will work, and say it will void my warranty but that's up in a month anyway... I'll let you know if i do it.

  • Airport Express & D-LINK wireless router--can I extend?

    I have Rogers cable internet modem in my office. My D-LINK wireless router is attached to the modem. I was informed by the salesperson at Apple that I can extend the range of my wireless network even though I have a D-LINK router in the office and Airport Express in the living room.
    Can't find any info on the boards. D-LINK can't help, and neither can Apple.
    I figured out how to get the Airport Express to play iTunes, but I cannot get it to connect to the internet (talk to my D-LINK), thus not allowing me to extend the range.
    Does anyone know how to configure this set up so that I can extend the range of my wireless network?
    Buying another Airport Express or an Apple Base Station is the easy option--just seeing if there's a work around so I don't have to drop another $200 CAD.
    Cheers.

    Hi Joe,
    You got the short answer from
    b Henry B,
    which will save you lots of aggravation.
    But if you're as curious, as I was, here's some more info I came across. I thought naively that a simple wireless 'repeater' would be straightforward and would work across different vendors of wireless basestations.
    Maybe it would? But the Airport Express implements something called a
    b Wireless Distribution System
    b (WDS),
    which sounds to me more complicated than just a simple wireless repeater. Maybe it has something to do with also honouring the encryption in the wireless signal to be repeated, err extended? Apparently WDS implementations are not standardized and currently
    b rarely
    work across different brands of wireless basestations.
    Although apparently several folks have been successful extending the range of
    b linksys
    brand wireless basestations using an Airport Express,
    b IF
    they first update (swap out?) the linksys firmware with another (open source) version. Whew!
    Anyhooow, for your situation, a brute-force option might be to replace the Ethernet cord between the Rogers cable modem and the D-LINK with a longer cable, so you can move the D-LINK closer to Living Room. (Or possibly get a longer CATV cable and move both the cable modem and D-LINK). You could even try increasing the range of the PowerBook with one of those Quickertek antennas.
    But I expect it would be
    b cheaper and easier,
    if it came to that, to just replace the D-LINK with a 2nd Airport Express, which would then inter-work with the Airport Express in the Living room, using
    b WDS.
    best of luck,
    ...ben

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.

  • I can't change the colour of linked text?

    I have a black background on the side of my web page containing the menu bars which requires the link text to be white so it can be
    seen. I also have it set to change to yellow when you hover over it.
    The problem is that this setting seems universal throughout the website and I cannot get the links in general text (such as 'contact
    us' links, etc) on each page to change colour - they default to white which doesn't show up as the background is also white.
    i have tried creating a CSS rule for links in the body of a page but to no avail.
    Can I change the colour of links on different parts of the website?
    I am relatively new to dreamweaver with little knowledge of CSS, etc but I'm sure this must be possible.

    Yes it is possible to have differen coloured links..

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.
