Connect MTNL ADSL Modem to Airport Extreme

Hey All,
I have a MTNL ADSL WIRELESS MODEM ROUTER. The range from that router is not great and therefore planning to get another router (adsl or non) and thus make use the connectivity to the maximum. My problem is that in my house i do not get good connectivity due to concrete walls.
i want to buy AIRPORT EXTREME (N-dualband) because i can then connect my mac, ipad and iphones seamlessly and also create a NAS with a HDD attached to Extreme via USB.  I want to use the airport extreme to connect to the MNTL WIRELESS ROUTER  and extend the network with connecting the LAN cable to the MTNL MODEM ROUTER .I have read that  i need to work around some techincal aspecs for this (DHCP, PPPoE, reconfiguring IP, etc.). I am not a pro at all this therefore need a simple solution. Please do advice me on how to go about this procedure as i am really confused about this whole thing.
What i need is :
MTNL Modem Router + Connect Airport Extreme, so that i can use the capabilites of the Airport Extreme rather then the MTnl rOUTER.
WOULD REQUEST AN URGENT HELP ON THIS BECAUSE I STILL HAVE NOT BOUGHT THE AIRPORT EXTREME AND IF THE SOLUTION COMES ACROSS THEN WILL BUY IT. OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE (WHICH I DONT WANT TO).

Sorry, but I cannot tell from the information in your post what it is that you want to do.
You mention both an AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme in your post. Will the AirPort Extreme connect to the modem/router using an Ethernet connection and provide a wireless network that the AirPort Express will extend?
If yes, how will the AirPort Express "extend" the signal from the AirPort Extreme?  Will it connect using wireless?.....or.....Will it connect using an Ethernet cable connection?

  • Please help me connect eMac, cable modem, and Airport Extreme Base Station

    I connected Ethernet cord from cable modem to Airport Extreme Base Station and then another Ethernet cord from Airport Extreme Base Station to eMac, but I could not get internet access on my eMac that way. I'm only getting internet access by directly connecting eMac to cable modem. Can someone please help me with a step by step explanation of how to set these 3 machines up so that I can have internet access on both my eMac and, wirelessly, on my new MacBook. Thank you very much in advance.

    jenngee, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Ensure that you power off the cable modem for a minute or so when you switch it to another Ethernet device.
    Ensure that you are connecting the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the cable modem. The eMac should connect to the LAN port.
    The steps for setting this up can be found in the "Designing AirPort Networks" (direct PDF link) document. Look through that document and try to get it setup. Then return here if you have more questions. Don't forget to post what you tried and the issues you encountered.

  • USB ADSL Modem and Airport Extreme?

    I have an ADSL modem that I use to connect my Powerbook, using a USB connection. I have now got an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have only managed to connect to my ADSL modem directly to my computer (sitting on an uncomfortable floor) if I want to use broadband; OR connect wirelessly to the internet with Airport but using the dial-up phone line.
    Main Q: How do I connect to broad band wirelessly?
    Q1: Do I need to buy an ADSL modem with an ethernet port connection to connect into the base station
    Q2: if so, which one should i get?
    OR
    Q3: Can the USB port on the base station be used with my current ADSL modem?
    Q4: Am I asking the impossible or missing something?

    You will need a new ethernet equipped modem to connect to any router, either Apple's or another manufacturer. USB modems cannot be networked. There are adsl modem/wireless router combos, or you can get an ethernet adsl modem and connect it to any wireless router, or ethernet router with an attached wireless access point.
    Q1: Do I need to buy an ADSL modem with an ethernet
    port connection to connect into the base station
    Yes.
    Q2: if so, which one should i get?
    These guys provide excellent Mac support, including AirPort:

    If you intend on trying to network using a usb modem, you are asking the impossible. Wireless networking is easy, given the right kit.

  • How to connect a ADSL router to AirPort Extreme?

    Hallo,
    my local internet service provider forces all costumers to use their modem/router to connect to the Internet using a DSL connection.
    I have one external public IP (v4) and the router has an editable IP for the LAN set to 192.168.1.1 .
    The ISP router can act as DHCP server and NAT; I can disable the DHCP.
    What I would like to do is connect it to the Airport Extreme WAN port and give all the control to the Airport extreme: I want to use his DHCP server, NAT, port forwarding etc.
    My problem is that I am able to have Internet connection only if the ISP router has DHCP control and Airport Extreme is set to Bridge mode.
    In this configuration, in the Airport Internet configuration panel, the connection is set to Ethernet, IPv4 is using DHCP, Airport IP is 192.168.1.133 and the ISP router has 192.168.1.1 . I also have the DNS IPs set to the ones suggested by the ISP and Bridge mode.
    In this way it works: all computers can share Internet connection.
    What I am trying to do is:
    - disable DHCP in the ISP router;
    - in the Airport extreme Internet panel I choose to manually setup IPv4 and I type the same vales it is getting when set to DHCP mode: 192.168.1.133 for the Base and 192.168.1.1 for the router using the ISP dns and I select Share pubblic IP. In the DHCP panel I choose 10.0.1 class.
    I save changes and... I got that Internet is no working anymore and I cannot access the ISP router control panel.
    Does anybody have suggestion about things to try to not use ISP router DHCP or configuration changes I could try?
    Thanks in advance for any help about it!

    Thanks for the reply,
    at the end it seems that my airport extreme works too BUT with an error message saying "double NAT" and the front led turned to yellow. I have ignored such error because things seems to work and so the led color goes to green.
    What I had to do here is:
    - set previous router to IP 192.168.1.1
    - turn off DHCP on my previous router;
    - leave on the NAPT (NAT) service on previous router and set it with start and stop address to the same IP I am using for the Airport Extreme (192.168.1.100);
    - open all ports and services on previous router by faking the mac address of the Computer's NIC I was using to configure router. I say faking because previous router wants to know for which computer the ports have to be open, so I had to use the same mac address of the Airport extreme. I cannot type it, previous router will get it automatically when configuring it.
    - on the Airport Extreme, Internet side, I had to manually configure Internet options using Ethernet mode: I set the IP 192.168.1.100 for the Airport base. Then I have enabled DHCP on class 10.0.1.x .
    Airport extreme seems to work with all features now, I hope that "double NAT" warning will not create any trouble. Anybody knows about that?

  • Wired connection to cable modem.  Airport extreme has to connect to internet if computer goes to screen saver.  Any way around this?

    Airport extreme has to connect to internet if computer goes to screen saver.  Any way around this?

    Describe the issue in more detail.. as it doesn't currently make sense.. the AE should always be connected to the internet. It should never disconnect.. but the computer can fail to connect to wireless after sleep.. that is common problem.
    See Tesserax docos if you have wireless connect issues after sleep.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    My Internet (Safari) problems kept recurring. Slow and incomplete loading of pages, especially special pages - banks etc. I tried all the recommended solutions - delete lists, etc, etc.
    Various times the pages would load (usually after reconfiguration with restarts).
    After some time (within 24 hours) the problem would resurface.
    When the pages don't load it occurred both on the powerPC and the Intel machines.
    Also with wireless as well as ethernet cable. Also with Safari and Firefox.
    Also with my original Airport express and the new Airport extreme.
    I bought am Airport Extreme and connected it. First everything was OK.
    The next day same problem.
    I restarted modem, router, airport and computer. Worked again!
    Today same problem. Tried restart scenario but no go.
    I finally realized that the amber light was on on the airport. Message was NO INTERNET CONNECTION because no valid IP address for the airport.
    I was however connected! Only some pages didn't load.
    I did the restart with router and airport FIRST and then the modem. GREEN LIGHT and the pages loaded! CRAZY.
    By evening the problem gradually began again.
    This morning I restarted again router and airport FIRST and then the modem then computer.
    Low and behold GREEN LIGHT and the pages loaded!
    Today I plugged the power of modem, router and Airport extreme into the same power strip, thus starting them all at the same time.
    All the pages loaded normally.
    Could there be an incompatibility or communication interference between modem, router, airport extreme and computer?
    Any suggestion?

    I now have the Airport Extreme, apparently I have to turn off the wi fi on my netgear router, I was wondering how you do that,
    I have logged in to my netgear smart wizard, I have chosen wireless settings, and in there i have a heading
    Wireless Access Point
    Under that heading I have 2 box's checked, The first box checked is   Enable Wireless Access Point.
    The other box checked is Allow Broadcast of Name ( SSID )  And the third box which is unchecked is Wireless Isolation
    Is it just a case of unchecking the box Enable Wireless Access Point,  or is the off switch somewhere else.
    Thanks

  • How to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)

    how to connect a hard drive on Airport Extreme (second edition)? Does it need a special format? It is now fromat on FAT32, but i don't see it ??

    The USB port your Mac is high powered. The port on the AirPort Extreme is not.
    So, it tends to be borderline as far as its ability to supply sufficient power to a hard drive...even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    Often, users...including me....need to use a powered USB hub when they attach any drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    You might want to give that a try. Double check to make sure that the drive is formatted in FAT32 as well, since Windows NTFS or exFAT will not work with the AirPort Extreme.
    Powering down and restarting the entire network.....modem first, then router, etc.....is something that you would always want to do after any change or addition to a network.

  • Using ARD remotely connecting to work computer with Airport Extreme...

    So I've looked through the forums, over the interwebs, through the ARD PDF manuals online and I'm coming up short. Ugh.
    I want to connect from my home laptop to my desktop at my small business where we're using an Airport Extreme for a router. I can NOT figure out how to get this configured to work. We use ARD within the business, so on the same network, no problems. With the router, I'm guessing I need to get the computer setup to have a locked in IP and whatnot but no where can I find the instructions that tell me EVERTHING I need to do. Can someone here point me in the right direction please or hit me over the head with a 2x4 of exact instructions!
    Thanks for your time! Shawn

    Hi Shawn,
    So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
    That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
    If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
    Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
    Open Airport Utility:
    go to the dock
    Click on the finder
    go to the menu bar
    Click on the "Go" menu
    Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
    double Click on "AirPort Utility"
    Access the Base Station:
    Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
    a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
    Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
    Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
    Click on the "DHCP" tab
    For "DHCP Reservations:"  Click on the "+" button
    For the "Description" put "ARD"
    For "Reserve Address by:"  set "DHCP Client ID"
    Click the "Continue" button
    For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
    write down the number in "IPv4" address field
    Click the "Done" Button
    Configure routing to ARD computer:
    Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
    Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
    Click on the "+" button
    for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "Update" button.
    wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
    Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
    Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
    On that computer, Go to the menu bar
    Chose the "Apple" menu bar
    Chose "System Preferences…"
    Click on the "Show All" button
    Click on the "Network" icon
    For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
    Clock on the "Advanced…" button
    Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
    for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
    Click the "OK" button
    Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Find out what your public internet IP address is.
    On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, goto http://whatismyipaddress.com/
    when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
    At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
    connect to the internet from another location.
    open Apple Remote Desktop
    go to the file menu
    chose connect to computer using ip address
    set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
    use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
    So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
    Also some network connections change.  When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
    Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
    Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
    ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
    This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

  • Power backup for dsl modem and Airport Extreme

    Does anyone here have backup power for a dsl modem and Airport Extreme that is successful? I have a name brand power backup and when the power goes off both the dsl modem and Airport Extreme remain on; however, the network connection is lost so the fact that they remain on doesn't help. I have been unable to find anything about this problem on the internet generally and consultation with a well-known squad person has not helped. Any thoughts about this will be welcome.

    Yes, I agree. But since the backup power keeps the modem powered, why doesn't the dsl connection continue? The squad person I talked with told me that the speed with which the backup power units replace power during an outage is about the same across different backup brands/units (I don't recall the speed but it was in milliseconds) and should be quick enough to retain the dsl connection. Doesn't happen.

  • HT4262 How can I connect 6 computers simultaneously to Airport extreme?

    Matt
    Is it possible to speak on the phone?  The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem.  After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?

  • Connecting Time Capsule wirelessly to Airport Extreme

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a Time Capsule v7.3.1. I am trying to have my Airport Extreme connect wirelessly to my Time Capsule and then use the ethernet connection "wired" to my Xbox. I am unable to get an ethernet address that works when connected via ethernet. I had two Airport extreme's previously connected via wireless and had my Xbox connected via Ethernet on my one Extreme and things worked fine. It seems that my Time Capsule when connected via wireless to my Airport Extreme isn't getting a valid ethernet DHCP address and I cannot get it to work. When I use the wireless connection on my Airport Extreme it seems to work fine when I access the wireless connection to the Airport Extreme. However, wired does not.. Time Capsule

    your secondary router should be placed using the manual button once Airport Utility is launched in "bridge" mode. then configure your ethernet and wireless.

  • Windows can't find harddisk (connected through usb-hub to airport extreme) although airport utility can

    windows can't find harddisk (connected through usb-hub to airport extreme) although airport utility can

    There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup
