Change to cable from DSL

I changed internet providers from DSL to cable and I have a Linksys E2000 router. Now, none of my wireless devices will connect---doesn't even show my network in the list of available networks. I have 2 laptops, PS3, and Xbox's that I have wireless. The weird thing is---my MacBook connected flawlessly so I know the router is working. What is going on?

look in the router basic the on the web UI. what do you see for the parameters?
what service provider are you with?
what modem do you use?

Changed to Uverse from DSL, TC won't work

We recently switched our home business network from AT&T DSL service to Uverse. I can't get the Time Capsule to stop flashing amber. I have tried to configure it through our computers (including while directly wired from the Uverse router) and they simply won't recognize the TC. Can I plug it in direct to a Max via the TC USB port and configure it that way?

Can I plug it in direct to a Max via the TC USB port and configure it that way?
No, this will not work.
Whenever you make a major change on a network....like changing a modem.... you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TC to get it back to a known starting point, and then recconfigure it again. This Apple support document has all the details on how to perform the Factory Default Reset:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
Once the TC has been reset, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Uverse router to the WAN "O" port on the TC and then reconfigure it again using AirPort Utility on your Mac. You can use the same device name and passwords for the TC as before if you wish.

Can signal from ethernet cable from DSL modem be split? to AX and G4

Due to desktop airport going blind to wireless base station AX, want to give it ethernet feed from DSL modem, same time as continuing to connect the AX base station which will serve other computers? What is the best splitter if there is such a thing (analogous to a phone or cable tv splitter)?

There is a product you can use to share an internet connection, most likely
w/ high-speed (dsl/cable) and it is generally known as a cable/DSL internet
router -- some have 4 or 8, etc port switches. I'm not sure which one to get
or exactly how they work. I did find some additional products and ideas in
a search: [ DSL Cable internet switch router share internet ]
They have wired models and also wireless ones. To retain your own AX
unit, you'd probably want a (wired) ethernet model. I'd be willing to bet
some of the wireless ones have a pass-through port so a wired computer
could be used, too. There are several models out there; LinkSys and others.
Best of luck in isolating the correct product and then configuring a system!

How do I change my airport extreme from dsl to cable?

I have recently changed my ISP from AT&T dsl to Comcast cable and don't know how to change the settings to my Airport Extreme. Please help.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Click the Wireless Options tab near the bottom of the window
Select the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels that you want to use
Click Update to save the new settings
Assuming that the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly, the router will automatically scan to find the best available 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels to use.
It is possible that you might be able to guess as well as the utility, but you may not be able to guess better unless your scanning equipment will reveal "hidden" networks in your area.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n WiFi is blinking amber after changing from cable to DSL. Everything works well; but light used to be solid green.

I changed from cable to DSL yesterday. Technician connected the new modem and all is working excellently, except that the light on my AirPort Extreme which used to be a solid green, is now blinking amber. I know this is not right, yet everything else is working well. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

We need to do some troubleshooting to find out why the amber light is blinking, and to do that we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC.
If you have a Mac, and are not sure what operating system it is using, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

Change from dsl to cable

i changed from dsl to a cable modem and now the airport express will not connect to the new modem, is there a way to fix this issue, thanks Ron

Reset and start over.. whenever you change modem you need a full factory reset of the apple router.
Cable system is tricky in that authentication is to the Modem MAC address usually.. and the first device that plugs in captures the public IP, which will not be released until the dhcp lease time expires. Since that might be days.. you need to power down the modem.. it can take afew minutes.. up to 20min to release the address.
It does depend on if the modem is also a router.. but mostly cable companies still use pure modems.. watch out if it has phone service as well though because they often have battery backup. And you therefore need to pull the battery out as well to power down the modem.
Pure modem then the express has to be in router mode.. And wan is by dhcp not pppoe like adsl.
If the modem is also a router then the power cycling is not necessary and the express just needs to be in bridge mode.

Changed from DSL to Cable

I have recently changed from DSL to Cable. WRT54G was working flawlessly with DSL now that I am on cable the router drops connection and I have to do the power cycle again and again every after 30 to 45 minutes.
Both my desktop and my laptop are on wireless. If I wire them directly to the modem it works fine and never drops connection. But when I feel confident of my connection and go wireless then the cycle of 30 to 45 minutes starts all over again.
Appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks

Many cable companies register the MAC address of the computer or router that connects to them. If you later connect an unregisterer MAC address, they kick you off the system, typically within an hour or so of when you log in.
Connect your router to your cable modem. Reboot entire system. Then call your cable company and tell them you have a new router. Ask them to reset their system to accept your new MAC address.
If they tell you that they only record the MAC address of your modem, and not the MAC address of your computer or router, then ask them to monitor your line, and see if they see any reason that your connection is dropping.
Hopefully this will correct your problem. If not, let us know.

Changing Router from Cable to DSL?

I made the switch and everything works fine unless its run through the router. I have a wireless-B (BEFW11S4). Is there some way to reset or restart the router? Not even sure if that would work

Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power
light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power
cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router &
then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are
solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out
it will definately work!!

HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL. Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?

Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address".

Switched from DSL to cable and now can't find apple tv in itunesdevice list

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now for whatever reason I cannot find my apple tv in the itunes device list on my desktop computer. If I use another laptop through the same wireless router I can see the apple tv no problem. My apple tv can see my wireless router and connect to the internet and watch youtube/trailers/etc.
I have tried restoring the apple tv, and have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes on the desktop. I also reset the wireless router...none of the above seem to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this has been crazy frustrating...thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule, you need to use the AirPort utility to access it. Otherwise, your router has a control panel that you can access by entering the router's IP address into your web browser. You'll have to check your router's documentation for the default login name and password, but it's often admin admin or root root (which is why you should at least change the password as soon as possible).

Switched from DSL to cable, need help getting TC back on line.

I just switched from dsl to a cable modem to access the internet and my service provider doesn't offer support for my TC. Where can I find out how to change my settings (I guess from PPPOE to DHCP) to allow internet access from my wireless network? It seems like a matter of plugging the right numbers into the right place but I don't know where to find the numbers or where to put them exactly. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Sivad72. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest that you first perform a "hard" reset on your Time Capsule (TC). Then, perform a complete power recycle of your network components to get them "talking" again.
Power Recycling Steps
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
o Power-off the modem, TC, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Upgraded to cable internet from DSL created a disaster

Today I switched from dsl to cable. I was very excited to run a spped test through the ethernet cable before the cable guy left. The disaster part starts here. I tried to hook the new cable router into my airport extreme (running most recent firmware). I can now only wirelessly access the internet through my macbook pro. When my airport was plugged into the dsl I was able to join the wi-fi with imac, iphone 4s, ipad2, airbook, macbook, and pc laptops. The network looks fine through the macbook but the only devices are not able to connect. I feel like it must be a setting I am missing in the airport utlility somewhere. All of my devices "find" my new network, but that's it. I reset the modem and airport. Any help would be great.

Anytime you change ISPs or networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Switched from DSL to Cable, Can't connect to the internet

After switching to cable modem (Motorola SB5120 SURFboard) from DSL, I can't connect to the internet using my airport express. Everything is green - modem and airport, and the signal on my computer looks like I have full access, but there is a scrolling message... looking for PPPoe host. I have unplugged everything and restarted per the instructions on this site, but get the same result every time. My computer connects just fine using direct connection to the modem. I saw a download for a firm ware update for the express, but don't know how to apply that, either. Any help out there?
Thanks!

Hello mom2gr82. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
Setup the AX
Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, try these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: Not enabled
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
Change Wireless Security
o Wireless Security: WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal
o Encryption Type: WPA and WPA2
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
o Enable Ethernet Port (checked)
o Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
o Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
o Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)

Computer won't CONNECT to c4480 after move from DSL to cable

I have a Photosmart C4480 operating under Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
It worked fine I could print/scan and read and write to a card
I moved so disconneted it packed it. When I got to the new place set up the computer
hooked up the USB cable and connected it between the printer and the computer.
When I tried to print nothing happened. I Opened Windows Explored and discoverd
that the computer could not see the printer I checked the cable thats Ok tried reinstalling drivers
when it finished it said "connect USB cable" meaning that it could not see the printer.
Other than that there were no error messages
The only thing that changed was at the old location I was using DSL now I am on cable
Do I need a new printer?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

BAC0296, if I understand your issue correctly, you recently moved and now your USB connected printer is no longer recognized by the computer. Is this correct? If so, don't worry about moving from DSL to cable, it shouldn't effect a USB connection.
To start, I would unplug the USB cable from the printer and the computer. Then go to your Devices and Printers folder and delete the copies of the printer there. We're going to start fresh from here.
Once they are all removed, go to your start menu and then to All Programs and find the "HP" folder. In that folder there shold be another folder for your c4480. In that folder there should be an item listed for the printer setup and installation. Go through this process and when you are prompted plug the USB cable into the printer and the comptuer. Finish the installation from here.
Let me know if this helps!
