Connecting Airport to AT&t 2wire residential gateway

Has anyone found an easy solution to this problem?

Good point, AirPort Extreme
So, you have an AirPort Extreme connected to the 2-Wire modem/router using an Ethernet connection, correct?
And the AirPort Extreme is providing your wireless network?
Or is the 2-Wire providing the wireless network?
Or are both the AirPort Extreme and 2-Wire providing wireless signals?
if I could add an Aiport Express as the router it would improve.
If the AirPort Extreme is providing your wireless network at the present time, you could add an AirPort Express to "extend' the signal for greater range.
But, if you have a wireless interference problem now.....and you likely may if both the 2-Wire and AirPort Extreme are setup to provide a wireless network......then adding an AirPort Express will likely not help....it may make things worse.

How do I connect Airport Extreme to U-verse Internet Gateway: Motorola Model NVG510

I tried to set up a new network with the Airport Extreme and get no Internet connectivity from the AT&T gateway. The Extreme network sets up fine and I can access it from all my devices, but no Internet.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mick Jones

It will only take a minute to check the Ethernet cable. Just connect it from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to the Ethernet port on a computer. Turn off the wireless on the computer and see if you can get a good Internet connection that way.
If you can, great. You cannot, then you either have a bad Ethernet cable or the port on the gateway may not be working correctly.
Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes
Then, hold in the reset button on the AirPort Extreme for 10-12 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on Other WiFi Devices
Click AirPort Extreme
The utility will open up automatically, take a minute to analyze things, then suggest that the AirPort will be configured to create a new network. The window will look like the example below, except that you will see an AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express.
Network Name......type in a short, simple name that you want to call your wireless network
Base Station Name.....type in a short, simple name that you want to use to identify the AirPort Extreme
Password......type in a password that will be used for both the Base Station and Wireless Network
Verify the password
Click Next
You should have a green light on the AirPort Extreme in a minute or two, and you should be able to log on to the new network and get an Internet connection.

Can't connect to a majority of webpages using the RG54gs residential gateway

I'm stumped with the MSI Residential Gateway.
We primarily got it as a gift for my father-in-law who had just aquired a centrino laptop. He started complaining that he was not being able to download his e-mails. Found out later, it was because the gateway shuts off the connection after some time of inactivity and on occassion after a few minutes. There was some improvement after I installed the new firmware (feb release) but it was still there.
I decided to bring it home and test it on my network. I immediately noticed that I couldn't visit all the sites I used to. It seemed that all the secondary sites were no longer available. An example is, opened google (can connect), google searched for RG54gs and come up with the msi website but when I click on the link to the msi website, I get a page not available error. This is also the same thing that happens to the rest of the links. I hooked all connections back to my accton router and I'm able to access all site again.
Can't figure out what the problem is?
There was a suggestion that for Ppoe connection you're suppose to leave the "connect on demand" button disabled. I found a little improvement when it was enabled. All this is using the wired part. Using the wireless is totally useless with almost everything unaccessible even though the signal is excellent.
Sorry for the long story but it's really got me to a point where I don't know what else to do.

Are you sure that this did not happen on the morning of June 15th when the major web sites were actually unavailable due to Akami problems?
Check the RG54GS configuration and see what DNS server it is using. Check the configuration of the PC and make sure it is using the RG54GS as the DNS server.
You don't mention if you are ADSL or cable. An incorrect MTU length (guess at 1400 if your service does not tell you) can cause connections to be dropped.
I use ADSL and could not connect at all until I got the new firmware, since then things have been OK. I am on a very marginal ADSL connection.

E2500 and Motorola RG2200C Residential Gateway

I am trying to setup a Linksys E2500 router with a Motorola RG2200C Residential Gateway. The Motorola box provides TV and DSL output. Currently a Linksys BEFSR81 router is connected and works fine. With the E2500, running Cisco Connect it gets to 90% complete and then times out. I'm guessing at that point it is trying to connect to the Internet. Support had me download the latest Cisco Connect, but it had the same problem. I have tried various things manually configuring the router with no success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I made some progress, but am still having some issues.
It turns out my Internet connection requires Static IP. Entering that manually I can access the internet through the router with a wired connection. The problem is if I try to use Cisco Connect to finish the setup, it erases the Static IP settings and goes back to Automatic DHCP. The setup program stops at 90% as it did previously.
Cisco online chat stepped me through manually setting up the SSID, password, and wireless settings. My wireless laptop will connect to the router using the main SSID, but it will not connect to the wireless LAN (internet). The strange thing is that I can connect to the internet wirelessly using the SSID-Guest connection.
So, two problems left:
- Is there any way to use Cisco Connect without losing my Static IP settings? (Online chat did not know.)
- Any suggestions on what would cause the main wireless connection to not connect to the internet, but as a Guest it works?
Thanks,
Kevin

How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows

How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows?

First the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot share out an external HDD attached to its USB port unless it is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT16/32. It will not work if the HDD is formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT.
If the HDD is formatted properly, when you access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility, does the HDD show up properly on the Disks tab of the utility?
If it does, then you would access the HDD as any other network share, using the following format: //servername/sharename. In the case of the AirPort Disk (a HDD attached to the USB port of either an Extreme or Time Capsule), the "servername" would be the Extreme's Base Station Name, and the "sharename" would be the volumename of the HDD.

How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
So here's the situation:
Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
(Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
Some pointers:
- When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
- I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.

Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
Thanks

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to air card

How do you connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to Verizon Air Card?

Sorry, but the Air Card cannot be used with the USB port on the AirPort Extreme because that port will only work with a hard drive and/or a printer.
Suggest that you check with Verizon to see if they have an adapter or wireless router for the Air Card that will provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme.

Cable needed to connect airport extreme?

How do I connect airport extreme to older speakers which are connected to older receiver amp? Do I need USB to radio jack? Have Itunes on IMAC , os 10.4.11. I know I need to update os sy to 10.5. I have new Iphone. I want to use remote app to send music to speakers.

There is not an audio port on the AirPort Extreme, so it cannot be used to stream audio per your question.
An AirPort Express will do the job.

Wifi connection AirPort Extreme with IP-camera

I can't establish wifi connection Airport Extreme with IP-camera. At the same time cable connection is fine, but wifi not.
Please, give me an advise.

You need to create a wireless network on the AirPort Extreme, and then you probably will want to assign a compatible static LAN IP address to the camera so that you can port-forward from the router to the camera.

Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.

Connecting Airport Extreme to a DSL

I have recently acquired an Airport Extreme which is connected to the DSL via an old Linksys Router. Signal keeps dropping and is slow especially in distant rooms. What is the best way to connect airport to DSL.
Does the Linksys wireless need to be disabled, if so please advise me how to do it.
Thank you.

If you add an AirPort Extreme to your existing Frontier Net network and permanently connect the AirPort Extreme to the Frontier wireless router using a wired Ethernet cable connection...
AND......you locate the AirPort Extreme in another part of your house where you need more wireless signal strength and coverage.......
AND......you configure the AirPort Extreme to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Frontier wireless network.......
Then, you will have a much "bigger" wireless network with much greater range with higher wireless speeds throughout the house.
That would be be a good investment if your goal is to have a much bigger wireless network with greater range and speed throughout the house.

Connect computer to phone as an audio gateway

Is it possible to have all audio from my E90-2, sent through bluetooth to my computer? Instead of connecting a bluetooth headset to my phone, I would like to be able to connect my computer to my phone.
I am able to get the phone and computers to connect, briefly. If I connect and then quickly dial a number, the audio comes out of my computer speakers. If I do not act quickly the computer disconnects the phone(within 2-3 seconds), but the phone still says it's connected. If a number is dialed while the phone says it's connected, but the computer says it's not, it informs me that it was just disconnected from the bluetooth connection and would I like to use the handset instead. If I answer no, then the only way to hang up the call is to turn off the phone.
I have two bluetooth dongles, one with the broadcom stack, and the other with the Toshiba stack. The above was done using the broadcom stack. Toshiba stack doesn't even give me the option of connecting to my phone as an audio gateway.

Plug the phone into a wall outlet, as this can take several hours. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Once finished, plug it into your computer, iTunes running, name it what you want & sync whatever content you want to it. Here's a support document on managing multiple devices on one computer:
