Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

My Verizon fios system was recently installed. My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms. The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine. Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router. Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both. Any suggestions?
One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal. In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router). Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections. So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
The network password will appear in the box.
Quit Keychain Access.

Home Network and printer sharing with XP and Vista

   I have a home network and printer wired on my PC desktop which runs XP. My Vista laptop has been connected to internet and printer through the home network for past 6 years flawlessly. However, since October my Vista laptop cannot
connect to the network printer, but internet has been working fine.
   I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, update drivers, connect via TCP/IP but printer isn't located by add printer wizard. When I plug printer directly into laptop via USB it works fine. I also have tried another xp desktop in the house
and that cannot locate the printer also.     Help!
Thanks in advance,
Medic

N80 home network and WWW

I have recently purchased an n80 and I am trying to get the home networking and internet functional through my wirless router. So far I have had little success. I have enabled upnp on my d-link router/modem . I have installed The simple center software on my laptop and uploaded files to share. I have setup an access point on my n80 and I have enabled sharing. The shared folders on the n80 have also been selected to share all files. The simple center software has been allowed to operate through xp's firewall. THe only thing I am not sure about is the port forwarding on the router. I have a trigger port and a public port in the applications gateway section of my router . I have entered the ports listed in the simple centers setting section (1900,49153,49154,49152). I have these numbers in both the trigger port and the public port on the TCP protocol.
Occasionally I can connet to the internet. However when I close the connection down and try to start it up again sometimes it does not work , showing 'unable to perform operation'. The only way to re-establish the connection is to power the router down then backup(reset).
The same goes for the home networking. I had no success a all on the first day of trying. Went to work. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectlly ?? Now on the third day it is working ocassionally.
Anyone else had simmilar problems ? If so any soultions would be appreciated ! The phone itself seems to be pretty glitcy. And battery life isnt the best either. Apart from that eh !

Forget that - just sussed it out...
I'm using v3.0617.0.6 (03-05-2006) RM-92, Nokia N80 (31.01)
I can't seem to get anything using the browser - I constantly get "Out of memory" errors, even when trying to use GPRS.

You don't download anything at all. The feature is built into the iPhone 4 already. Your carrier has to support the feature and there might be an extra charge to use it.

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

Can't connect to Home Network and Printer

hi,
I just bought my first mac, its a macbook with leopard, and am having quite a bit of trouble connecting it to our home network. I'm not much of a computer whiz, so i have no idea what to do. Our network doesn't have any security, but does need a password, and each time i try to connect it after putting in my name and password it says "The Volume cannot be Mounted" and then comes up with an error message saying "an unexpected error occurred". And because i cannot connect to the network i cannot connect to our printers and need them desperately, i start uni in a week!
what can i do?
thanks
dan
if more details are needed let me know...

What version of Leopard are you using? I asked because Apple just released 10.5.2.
Plus if you are adding a lone Mac to a windows network then read the user reports at MacWindows.com (you should have the site bookmark if you are going to mix Macs into PC networks).

IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Ipad disconnected from home network and now is not showing it for me to connect to again

I live in a student house where 5 of us are all connected to the same house network. The other day both my Ipad and my laptop lost connection to the internet and I was unable to see my home group as an option to connect to on my laptop, but once i restarted the router I was able to connect again. However my Ipad still is not showing the option of my home network, even though it was previously connected to it for a couple of months prior. I know how to make all assessed networks appear on your laptop, but I have no idea how on my Ipad. Any suggestions please?

Try restting your iPad.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".
If that doesn't cure the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
