Connecting a WAP54G to a Cable Modem

How do I connect and configure my WAP54G wireless access point to my new Cable Modem? I have it connected to the modem but I cannot access it to configure it. It appears to be working but before I got the cable modem I had it connected to a router and it was set-up with a static IP address. With my new ISP, I no longer have a static IP address so I am trying to configure the WAP54G to use DHCP. Trying to access it thru the internet at 192.168.1.245 does not work. I'm puzzled.

Hi waltbros42 ,
Since you’ll be connecting it directly to the modem, make sure to reset the access point first (this will set everything to default). You can access the articles below as your reference.
Make sure firmware of your access point is updated: You can download firmware here http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/accesspoints/WAP54G. And here’s the link on how to update it http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=b8b7668ed4e94d519593ca0d51adcf41_1510.xml&pid=80&r....

I hope this helps.

  • Airport Express not connecting to the internet via cable modem

    Hi. I need help. I just bought an airport express to get wireless internet and airtunes. I connected everything and ran the airport utility. Everything is good, so it says. I can play music through my stereo using airtunes, but when I try to get on the internet I get nothing. My macbook recognizes the network, but I can't load any pages. I've tried unhooking the ethernet from the express and unplugging the power from my modem, then plugging my modem back after about 30 seconds, then reconnecting the ethernet to the airport after another 30 seconds but still, nothing.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly? When I connect my macbook directly to the modem via ethernet I'm on the internet just fine. Thanks!!!!

    Do you have the Express setup to distribute IP addresses?
    If you do, you might turn it off in the Airport Utility.
    Also check you IP address on your MacBook.
    Make sure it is not self-assigned or something different than what your provider (cable modem) usually assigns you...

  • Trouble connecting AEBS with Cox & Motorola cable modem

    I am able to set up my new AEBS however I cannot connect to internet. I am told via Airport Utility that I have set up correctly and have the steady green light and the wireless connection however it just won't pick up the Internet. I've called my ISP Cox Communications and they told me it's an issue w/my router. I noticed a similar problem in discussion boards with Comcast and followed the same instructions and it did not resolve. I've tried to power off cable modem for 10 sec, 2 min and 10 min and just no luck. I immediately plug back in my Linksys router and am able to connect to internet just fine.
    Anyone know what to do?

    Anyone know what to do?
    Power off your cable modem for at leat 10 HOURS! Cox like every other ISP "caches" the MAC address of your router. The only way to "reset" this and allow a new MAC address to be accepted, is to turn off the cable modem overnight for 8-10 hours.
    Some routers have the ability to "clone" a previous router MAC address, therefore not requiring the above process, but the AEBSn does NOT have this capability.

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,           
                                                 laser printers,                 
                                                   Apple TVs                     
    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • My new airport extrem wont connect with my time warner cable modem

    My new aiport extrem wontconnect tomy time warner cable modem

    Have you power cycled the modem for long enough to deregister the previous client/router MAC address.. it can take 20min or longer off time. If the cable modem is also a router then the AE has to be in bridge mode.
    Sometimes there are connection issues.. modem to WAN port of the AE..
    Exactly what modem do you have?
    Are the connectivity lights on when you plug in ethernet?

  • MBP connects to internet directly via cable modem, but airport wifi not working

    Today I came home to a broken wifi. I think Time Warner Cable had an outage in my area which confused my modem and airport router, but anyway. After a short while I was able to connect to the internet if I plug the cable directly from the modem to my laptop (which is how I am currently posting this question). But if I instead connect the cable to my airport and try to connect via my usual wifi network, I don't have any internet.  Here is what I have tried:
    - cycle cable modem several times
    - hard reset as well as factory reset of Airport
    - trying to connect the cable modem to the airport via both WAN and Ethernet entry, power cycling the Airport, waiting several minutes on each to see whether I get internet
    - Using Network > Assistant to create a new location and network
    Under airport utility, the status messages I get are as follows:
    - Internet Connection (tells me to cycle my cable modem, which I have tried)
    - No DNS Servers (I haven't touched any DNS addresses, but this has never been an issue that prevents me from connecting to wifi)
    - Ethernet unplugged (since I'm using the cable to write this message...)
    My hardware is:
    - MBP early 2011
    - ubee cable modem (standard issue from TWC)
    - Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation).
    My laptop is able to connect to other wifi networks, so that is not the issue.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.

    ...And now it all of a sudden works. However, as I can't delete this post I hope others who have had similar problems may have solutions for future issues.

  • Printer crashes with 0xB845D7DC when connect to UPC Ubee EVW3226 cable modem/router

  • HT1126 I've just connected to a Time Warner cable modem and am no longer able to connect to the internet using our Airport Express.

    Would love some suggestions as to ho to get thi airport working again!

    I too just got time warner. I now have a motorola surfboard sb 6141 attached to my airport extreme. I have had problems with the AE when I was on DSL. I had to unplug it on average every 2 days to reset it as I would loose my WIFI connection. I've updated it to the most recent firmware and I reset it to factory condition when I joined Time warner today.
    The modem and router are in the kichen and if I'm on my laptop there the connection is almost alway great. But occasionally it becomes bad. In my office on the iMac the eventhough the signal strength is excellent the speed is either great or exceedingly slow. If I unplug the router and plug it back it, it becomes speedy again in the office. So I guess I need a new router, but this one is only a year old. Any suggestions?

  • How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

    I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet.    There is only one ethernet port on the modem.   
    I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed.    Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
    If I need a router, what kind?
    Thanks.

    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
    The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
    Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
    Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
    There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

    The Problem
    Cannot get an internet connection attempting to install a Linksys WRT54G router between an Arris TM402P/100 cable modem and the local network.
    Prior Configuration
    Previously had DSL, with the Linksys WRT54G wireless router between the DSL modem and the local network, which worked perfectly.
    New Configuration
    This friend recently changed his broadband from DSL to Comcast cable, and he also has phone and television service over the same connection.  The installation tech connected the cable modem directly to a desktop computer and left the Linksys router out.
    The direct connection between the cable modem and the computer works fine, but he and his wife each have laptops and would like to us the Linksys router to connect wirelessly.

    I cannot find a configuration on the Linksys WRT54G that will allow me to connect to the internet through the Arris TM402P/110 modem.  Have tried (1) setting the Linksys to use a dynamic WAN address, (2) setting the Linksys to static IP 67.185.155.0 with TCP/IP settings taken from the above configuration, (3) cloning the MAC address of the desktop computer's NIC and trying both (1) and (2) again.
    The error message says that the network cable is not connected.  Is it possible that the connection between the router and cable modem requires a cross-over cable?
    Any suggestions?

    on the router's ui... keep the internet type to dhcp....clone the mac address and then do a power cycle...ensure that the modem is completely powered off during the power cycle...if you have a battery back - up , remove the battery...after a minute , put back the battery and then plug in the power cable in the modem...   
    let me know if this helps you....

  • Losing internet connection (Ethernet, cable modem)

    Hi,
    Lately (the past month or two), I am tending to lose my internet connection. (I never would before.) I connect via Ethernet to my cable modem. My ISP tells me that if I am getting 4 steady lights on my modem (with the 5th flickering), it isn't the modem. (I was thinking of replacing it.)
    Rebooting the computer will fix it. One minute it's fine, the next it may have lost the connection. When I lose connection, Network Diagnostics* says my built in ethernet and network settings are ok (green). The rest will vary (going on memory here), ISP, may or may not be green, Internet and server will be definitely out, when this happens.
    * I have dragged it out of wherever it was buried and have it now on my desktop. It is VERY convenient to check what is going on with my connection problems. (I guess I have created an applet?) I recommend this to all.
    I am considering re-installing the OS (archive and install) but am hoping someone can offer some suggestions for me to try short of that.
    Disk Utility and Tech Tool Deluxe don't indicate any problems. I can try the Apple Hardware Test. I am hoping this isn't a hardware issue as I cannot afford a new Mac or other repairs. I can live with rebooting if I have to.
    Thank you.
    John L

    The colors refer to what Network Diagnostics shows. Network Diagnostics is an Apple app that pops up when Safari has trouble connecting. I don't use Safari but loved having Network Diagnostics pop up so I figured out a way to use it independently of Safari. I dragged it out of wherever it was buried, put it on my desktop where it became an app and I use it at will to see why I am not connecting.
    It will show green, yellow or red as an indication of each aspect of the connection: built in ethernet, network settings, ISP, Internet and server (being Apple's server). Right now, all are green. When I can't connect, I'll have several going from server backwards that are red. If it can't figure out the status I get a yellow light.
    When I've asked my ISP why I am getting disconnected, they said if all 4 lights of the modem are steady (and the yellow one flickering), which they always have been when I've been disconnected, then it isn't the modem or them. They have good tech support and I trust them.
    I have replaced the modem once in the past and that fixed things. I may do it again.
    So, I don't know. I haven't tried the Safe Mode approach yet. I'll see if I can do that.
    Cheers,
    John
