Connect RE1000 via wired not wireless

Can the RE1000 connect to the network via the Ethernet jack? We've got a big house with plaster/metal lath walls and it doesn't seem to be picking up the wireless signal of the E4200 V2 once I configure it in the same room, then move it to the other side of the house. Can it be connected via wired Ethernet (we've got jacks throughout the house), or is that not how a range extender works? If not, is there any other solution, like re-install my old WRT54G and use that as well as the E4200?

Most likely I'd use the RE1000 it as an access point. But it doens't really matter if one way works and works more easily so I can get WiFi though the house with the E4200V2 at one end and the RE1000 at the other.

  • HT202157 My Apple TV will not update and it is connected via ether not wireless

    I have an earlier version Apple TV and I have tried to update it several times using several methods.  I am connected to the internet via ether and not wireless and teh signal is good. I can stream without any issues ever.  the update is downloaded fine but not installed.  I get a failure to update message.  I have tried to updat normally, restore, reset, etc...... I have no more ideas.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Bro.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • How to access the hard drive in my Time Capsule via ethernet, not wireless

    I have a new Netgear 802.11ac router with ethernet ports. I also have an older (4 years old) Time Capsule that I replaced with the new Netgear router. My iPhoto library was recently corrupted (long story there). I don't have a backup except on my Time Capsule. How do I access the Time Capsule's hard drive over ethernet so that I can copy the iPhoto Library off of it and onto my Thunderbolt external hard drive? It's the only chance I have to save years of photos (my iPhoto library is 258 Gb large). I don't want to do this wirelessly. I've tried using ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook Pro and to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router, but to no avail. I'm sure it's got to be simple but I've almost given up trying different configurations.

    Plug the TC directly into the netgear by ethernet.
    Then do a factory reset. This will not harm your existing backups in any way.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Connect to the TC by wireless.. this is just to do the setup..
    Put the TC in bridge mode.
    The TC will now appear as a client in the Netgear and should be accessible.. if not there is something else going on.. the Netgear may not be working properly with the TC. It happens.
    I am not sure what equipment you have.. but if you have a thunderbolt connected hard drive.. how are you then connecting by ethernet to the Netgear.. as I understand it, unless your hard disk has a thunderbolt passthough port.. and you have tested and found the ethernet does still work with the hard disk in the chain.
    There is no reason you cannot do it direct to the TC if you have enough ports. But the TC should be reset as above so it is in router mode. That is the only way you can connect to it as otherwise it is bridged.

  • Connection problem w/ wired and wireless

    My internet service comes in via cable and goes to my modem. In then goes to my Belkin router. At a friends suggestion, I added an Airlink switch. From there, I split off to a wired G4 and an Airport Express.
    Despite several system resets, I can't get any connection on my wired G4. When I take the switch out of the chain, I can connect the G4 and the Airport Express but, the AE connect goes dead when the G4 is shutdown.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hey jrmprod
    Modem>belkin router> Airlink switch < split to AE and ethernet .</div>
    Hmm, very interesting post. Your existing Ethernet network already has a router sharing your Internet connection, so you simply need to switch the AirPort Express into bridge mode. See this Apple Article for more info ... http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21540 & more info about the AE ... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1515?viewlocale=en_US

  • ITunes through AX via Ethernet (not wireless) won't work

    I cannot seem to play music through my AirPort Express (from an iMac G5) unless I join it's wireless network. The AX and the iMac are wired to the same Ethernet network, but I the AX is accessible through iTunes only if I select the AX's wireless network. Shouldn't I be able to play music from iTunes through the AX over Ethernet?

    Yes you can.
    If your "wired network" already has a router on it, the best solution is to disable the router built into the Airport Express (which is currently blocking Airtunes access to the Express via its ethernet port).
    To do this - run the Airport Admin Utility, select to view the configuration of the Express, and click on the Network tab. Uncheck the box next to "Distribute IP addreses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Finally (very important) restart any computers that were previously connected wirelessly to the Airport Express.
    That's it!

  • Can't Connect to WVC54GC wired or wireless

    I'v e had this camera for year and had no issues until I changed my router from a Belkin F5D7231-4 to D-Link DIR-825. Ive reset camera to default but can't ping 192.168.1.115. I turn off my Firewall and still no luck. Any help would be greatfull!

    Is your new router working with the old subnet now, or have you changed the whole subnet to the new D-Link IPs?
    The best way is to run setup again from the "Viewer and Recording Utility", let it discover the cameras, click on each one and enter Username/password again.
    Before you do this, give the cameras a series of pings, to make sure that they're awake.
    Cheers
    Further to the firewall section of your router:
    "ICMP must be enabled" means, the service must NOT be blocked or filtered. In the D-Link, that may mean to UNTICK the firewall rule. I don't have that router, so I don't exactly know, how the wording is crafted within the GUI.
    In any case, ICMP has to be allowed.
    If you can see your cameras in the browser, you should have no trouble with the Utility either.
    Just make sure, the cameras are not asleep. Maybe you want to read this thread for some pinging instructions:
    http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Cameras&thread.id=7298
    You may have to move the cameras closer to the router/access point for wireless setup through the Utility.

  • Internet connection if hard wired not wifi

    I could do with some help connecting my ipod touch to the internet. No wifi at home, just hard wired through router. Anyone who can help please!

    Does your computer have wifi capabilities? If so, you may be able to share the internet connection that way. Without some kind of wifi, you can't connect the Touch to the Internet.

  • Can I have wired and wireless simultaneously - and connect via another Mac?

    Here's my problem: My eMac (Feb 2005 running Leopard 10.5.8) is great except that it drops the ethernet cable internet every 15 minutes or so. "Sleep and wake" and I'm back on the internet for another 10-20 minutes, but this is not a long-term solution.
    OK so I say that I will get a D-Link wireless USB adapter for the eMac (it has bluetooth, but not WiFi). Fine, except then the D-Link DIR-635 router that sends the WiFi signal is too far away and too weak. But I have another computer to which I can plug-in the Ethernet CABLE. Can I then connect the eMac via a wireless (airport) sharing? NOTE: At this time the ISP Modem goes to a DIR-635 router (a wired and wireless router) and the cable goes up 2 flights of stairs to the eMac. I'd plan to then plug-in the PBG4-12" to the cable instead of the eMac; and then connect the eMac via wireless sharing if that is possible. (The PBG4 does NOT drop the signal via wired ethernet - it is a problem with the eMac not the cable or router).
    BUT then how to print? My MP640 printer is set-up for wired printing only right now. And for a number of reasons, I really want to keep it on wired (not wireless)-- I use this with another computer etc. etc. and wired gives me more selections for printing...
    Any comments on this possibility and then I'll reply with comments and/or ideas-- THANKS!
    Best regards,

    If you use two routers then you should have the main one (connected to modem) as the official router. The second one should be configured to extend the existing network (you will need to consult its manual to find out how that's done.) If you try using two routers independently, then they will tend to interfere with each other because both are trying to deliver IP numbers on the network. So if the printer ends up on the secondary router then a machine connected to the main router may not be able to connect to the printer.

  • Slow wired and wireless connections on new Mac Pro

    I have a new 6-core Mac Pro with 64GB RAM that I seem to be having major network issues with. When I restart or first switch the machine on it's fine but after a few minutes the network (web browsing) become painfully slow - when I run a speed test it come out at ~2Mbit/s. This is the same whether I connect on a wired or wireless connection. I've tried various connections including a complete bypass of my time capsule to a direct wall connection that should be giving 100Mbit/s. When i run a speed test on my iPhone connected to the time capsule via 5GHz I comfortably get >60MBit/s.
    Is there a bug in the latest OS 10.9.4 my MBAir also seems to require a lot of restarting to keep up even basic web browsing???

    Your Macs are always looking for a better connection. To that end, they are evaluating every possible way to get to the Internet.
    It is very important that you limit those choices to only the ones you actually want to connect to, and indicate that the other are "off the list", literally.
    For example, to test your wired network connection, Ethernet must be at the top of the list AND WiFI must be OFF. (Otherwise, your Mac will be checking WiFi to see if it seems to be getting a better connection over WiFi. In the screenshot below, Ethernet is at the top of the list, so it is likely to be used, but since WiFi is still ON, it may be used instead.
    To check YOUR WiFi connection (and not your neighbors' connections), you need to BOTH check that the "ask to Join new Networks" box is checked:
    and that the Networks you wish to join are shown in the order you wish to join them. All extraneous networks should be removed from this list:

  • AEBS won't assign IP via Wired ports, but it does assign IP Wirelessly

    I'm having the strangest problem, my AEBS will assign an IP address in the 192.168.1.X range when connected to it wirelessly, but when I connect to it via one of the wired ethernet ports in the back I get a bad IP (169.XXX.XXX.XX).
    This started happening over the weekend and I have tried reseting the unit and still can't get the AEBS to assign the correct IP over Wired ports, not even to a Airport Extreme connected via wired ethernet on another room (all I get is the amber flashing light on the AX).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Black MacBook, Intel iMac & Mini Dual Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Hi Duane,
    Yes I did configure my AEBS to give IP's in the range of 192.168.1.XXX. But when I connect my MacBook via Airport I get the correct 192.168.1.XXX IP, but if I connect it via Wired Ethernet i get the other 169.XXX.XXX.XXX address. This also happens with my Airport Express that it also gets an IP in the 169.XXX.XXX.XXX range which is consistent when a device doesn't issue a correct IP address.
    Any help is much appreciated

  • WRT54G2 keeps dropping connection, wired and wireless

    I have a Scientific Atlanta modem with WRT54G2 wireless router. Both are around 2 years old. In the past few months, I keep getting periodic connection drop, couple times a day, day on day off. I have 2 wired connections and 3 wireless connections to the router. I check with my internet provider, Cox, they say my connection is fine. So I guess it's the router or modem problem.
    The funny thing is when connection drop, I cannot access any web sites via wired and wireless. However, my downloads in iTune are still running fine at full speed. I have to unplug and replug both router and modem for it to work again.
    Is there a way to fix this? or do i need to buy a new router or modem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's possible that Cox only recognizes the router's MAC address, probably the reason why you can't connect directly.
    Anyway, try to lower the MTU settings on the router.

  • Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

    Hi all
    My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
    Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
    If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
    The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.

  • Unable to connect C4780 with Mac Pro wirelessly

    When i tried to conner Printer C4780 wirelessly to Mac pro it says that the  selected printer software isn't from the manufacturer and may not let you use all the features of your printer. The software that i installed is one which i received when in brought printer in PC World in UK. It does connect with USB but not wireless.

    Hi @Krish1840 , and thanks for the reply!
    Do the pages come out blank when making a copy as well?
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer via OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    Good luck and please let me know how it goes!

  • Itunes not connecting via airplay on wired and wireless network

    I have some computers on the wired part of my network, and others on wireless. My appletv2 shows in itunes on ALL (both wired and wireless) computers that there exists an AppleTv airplay speaker, but only the computers on the same "side" of the network (wired, or wireless) can actually connect and use the appletv as an airplay device. I have Bell Fibe25 and they provide 2 devices to achieve wireless connectivity, the main VDSL unit that has 4 lan ports on the back, and a basic Cisco WAP610N that connects into one of the lan ports on the VDSL unit for the wireless part.
    My firewall is turned off as well.
    Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? My MacPro does not have wireless, and it would not be practical to connect my AppleTV2 to Ethernet cable.
    Thanks in advance,
    S

    I have Windows 7 and the same resolution fixed my problem but you do it in a slightly different way:
    Open Control Panel.
    Network and Internet
    Network and Sharing Center
    On the left menu bar select "Change adapter Settings"
    Right Click on Network Adapter (Might be Wireless or Wired or change Both) select Properties
    Under "The connection uses the following items:" UNCHECK - Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
    Click OK
    Restart Itunes and refresh Connection!
