Connecting Belkin N150 ADSL Router *** Modem with TimeCapsule

I have an N150 Belkin Wireless ADSL modem *** Router. I want to buy Timecapsule for automatic backup (for iPhone, PC, MBP) and to use the Dual Band
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router

Time capsule is not for backup of iphone.. there is no direct link.. apple uses itunes to backup the iphone, which can be either on your computer or icloud. Time Machine which is the smarts of the system is software in the Mac that will backup itunes to the TC. The TC is a hard disk in a router. .it has no smarts whatsoever.
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
Nobody but you can answer the question. TC is a more reliable unit for TM backup. 3rd party can work but lots of them have issues. Check via google if people have found the seagate NAS reliable for TM.. you need to use the exact model you want to purchase. The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for TM backups by laptops. If you store files on it, there is no way to backup the files without using another disk, like USB drive plugged into the TC and manually doing the backup.
5ghz is much faster than 2.4ghz but has very limited range.. ie it is for use in the same room and perhaps the next one.. no further than that. For many people buying 5ghz turns out to be a waste of time, unless you can arrange the router in the room you are working in.
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router
You can either keep your belkin as the main router.. and just bridge the TC.. that will not hinder its usage at all except for icloud where the TC needs to be the main router..
Or bridge the belkin and use the TC as main router. The ISP must support PPPoE authentication for this to work.. check your ISP.

SA 520 and ADSL router/modem

we have 3 sites that i wanteed to conect together using 3 SA520 1 site is cable modem and the 2 other sites are ADSL with a Router /Modem supplied by provider currently each site has a old firewall connected which i had planned to replace. My question is are these suitable for ADSL as well as cable

As long as the ADSL or cable modem has Ethernet ports, they should be able to connect to SA500.
SA500 has 10/100/1000 WAN ports. The SA500 also support PPPoE.

Xfintity router/modem with Airport extreme moderate/strict nat?

I switched to comcast xfinity and they gave me a modem with a router built in and we are trying to use the Airport Extreme to get better signal using Bridge Mode in Airport Utility. It all worked fine but then on my PS3 and Xbox 360 it says that I have a moderate/strict nat type any help on how to get a open nat?

Suggest that you double check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Settings should look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save any changes
When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off.
These services are being provided by the Comcast gateway, so any NAT issues rest with the Comcast gateway. You may need to call Comcast support to ask them about changing the NAT settings on the device.

Connecting Express to Cox Router/Modem ?

Hello,
    I have an iMac ( OS 10.8 ) connected via ethernet to a Cisco Router/Modem ( from Cox my ISP ), I have a network set up that all my iOS dervice can connect to with out a problem.
    on the second floor of my house I have an Older G4 ( OS 10.4 ,no Wifi just an Ethernet conenection ), I want to connect the Express to the G4 so it will conect to the internet.
     There are threads on this forum that suggest that this can not be doen and the olnly way I can use the express with my current set-up is to connect the express to the Cisco router/Modem and configure the express in bridge mode, this seems rather redundent as my Wifi network can be used throuthout my house.
     When I try to connect the express to the G4 via the ethernet connection, I only get the flashing amber light and none of my devies are able to see the express.
      Any help that you can offer would be great.
    Thank You
    John

After reading a bunch of stuff and not getting the results I wanted. I decided to try a different approach. My iMac is plugged into my router via Ethernet. I took my Apple Express and plugged in the power cord only and placed it on top of the Cox Router/Modem. Using Airport Utility I set the Express up as normal. when it was up and running I simply unplugged it, took it upstairs plugged it in and attached an Ethernet cable
to the Express and then to My G4 and it worked. I connected to the Internet then I downloaded the browser

This browser works really well with my old machine.
Hopefully someone will find this information helpful.

Can't get Time Capsule to access internet through 2wire router / modem with AT

I have internet service provided by AT&T Uverse. AT&T provides a 2 wire combination modem / router. My Time Capsule will connect to my internal network but will not connect to the internet. I have a steady green indicator light on the Time Capsule. Can anyone offer any assistance?

Time Capsule & AT&T 2Wire Gateway Model: 3800HGV-B
Instructions on connecting your Time Capsule to an AT&T 2Wire Modem Model: 3800HGV-B. I do know if these instructions will work for other models. Some 2Wire models require it to be set in “Bridge-Mode” or a “Router-Behind-Router”. The 3800HGV-B model does not have the ability to be put into “Bridge-Mode”. After hours of frustrating tech support calls, mine is finally working, so I thought I would share what worked for me. Why something like this isn’t already posted, I have no idea? Although I may not have all the terms correct, I think I can explain it in a way to help others the way I wish someone could have helped me. Something this simple, shouldn’t be so hard.
The Situation
Those with AT&T U-verse are unable to connect their Time Capsule to Network.
The Problem
Apple & AT&T’s Tech Support have failed to provide solutions.
The Solution
To configure the AT&T 2Wire with the Time Capsule the 2Wire must have its router disabled, in addition to disabling both the 2Wire and Time Capsule Firewalls. The goal is to get these two device to play well with each other. The challenge is that the 2Wire Modem is both a router and a modem. The Time Capsule is also a router, so they compete with each other, thus creating the headache many of us have experienced.
Step One: Create a wireless network.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port on your Time Capsule.
Open Airport Utility, select Time Capsule, and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to create your new network.
Once you have finished the above steps, make sure your screens look similar to mine. Once you have the Time Capsule set up according to the directions, you still won’t have internet connection. Be sure there is a “checkmark” next to your new newly created Network.
The Situation
This above process should have set the Time Capsule in a DHCP mode, thus making it ready to receive the signal/ IP address sent by the 2Wire.
Step Two: Allow DMZplus mode
    Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.254/ This will take you to the 2Wire settings. Select Settings, click Applications, Pinholes, and DMZ. At the bottom of the page, select Allow all applications (DMZplus mode). Click Save.
Note: Once DMZplus mode is selected and you click save, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.
The 2Wire Wireless Setting must be disabled. You don’t want the 2Wire to broadcast its wireless signal. You must shut off the “Router” abilities of 2Wire. In the U-verse 2Wire Settings, select the Firewall tab, click Applications, Pinholes and DMZ. At the bottom of the page select the radio button which Allows all applications (DMZplus mode).
You will know when you are successful at shutting the wireless down by selecting the Airport Signal in the upper right of your screen. If you see a network called 2Wirexxx, then your 2Wire is still broadcasting its signal.
The Time Capsule is setup in the DHCP mode, but isn’t able to get the IP Address because there are 2 Firewalls to address. There is the firewall of the 2Wire and one for the Time Capsule.
Step Three: Disable the Firewall.
    One thing all the other tech’s missed, was unchecking the “Enable default host at”. Your screen should look like the below screen shot, because this disables the other Firewall that is giving you trouble. Be sure and Update after you make your changes.
    Once the changes are complete, turn the Airport off. Shut down your computer. Unplug the 2Wire and the Time Capsule and let them sit for 5 min. Next, plug the 2Wire up first and let it begin its reboot process. Then, plug in the Time Capsule and let it start to reboot. Finally, turn on your computer and open Airport Utility.
   Finally, after a complete reboot of the system, try to connect the internet. You should now be capable of opening your system and enjoying your online experience.
I hope this helps!

I have a Synology NAS server and a Maxtor HD connected directly to my router. With Snow Leopard I was able to connect through finder directly to the devices and move files accordingly. Now with Lion I cannot connect to either device directly. Solution?

How do you connect to NAS/External HD on router directly with "connect to" command in Finder. Worked in Leopard, but not in Lion?

Belkin Surf Wireless Router / Modem

Just bought a Belkin Surf N150 Wireless Modem Router and discovered that my Curve 8520 won't connect to it - tried all processes.
Can I make any alterations to the router to make it work?
Can I make any alterations to the Curve to make it work?
Do I have to buy a different router and if so, what one works?
Thanks

The AirPort Expess (802.11n version) could be configured to "join" the Belkin wireless network using wireless only and then provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme. As I said before, this is a bit goofy, but it will work.
The weak point of this type of setup is that everything going through the AirPort Extreme will depend on a wireless "hop" back to your Bellkin router. Wireless can pick up interference, suffer slow downs, drop outs etc. as you are well aware. If you are planning to stream high definition video, wireless would be your last choice.
For about the same cost as an AirPort Extreme, I would suggest a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to establish an Ethernet connection between the Belkin and the Airport Extreme. Reason...you'll have a better, more reliable connection.
In order of connection quality, the order would look like this:
Ethernet cable
Powerline
Wireless
It's up to you.

I've replaced my 2Wire ATT DSL Router/Modem with a new AT

I'm trying to set up Time Capsule with my AT&T DSL modem, can I connect all PC's in the house wirelessly or does one need Ethernet?

If all of your PC's are wireless capable, you can certainly hook them all up via wireless......unless you have more than 50 PC's. That's the limit for wireless connections on the Time Capsule. You can add another 150 Ethernet devices, though.
However, if you are configuring the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode, it is the 2-Wire gateway than is controlling the number of devices that can connect.
You won't be able to remove the 2-Wire gateway from your network unless you replace it with a modem. The 2-Wire provides both modem and router functionality in one box. As you know, the Time Capsule does not have an on board modem.

Connecting together a Siemens router/modem and linksys E2500

Hi:
Unfortunately, I'm not good with this stuff but I think I can learn ...
I have a Siemens Gigaset SE567, which was set-up by my IP. I'm using its Modem via the #1 Ethernet port to my desktop. It broadcasts wifi but I got tired of paying $10 p/m for the wifi - so I canceled it. The wifi is still active but the IP password protected it.
I was given a used Linksys E2500. I have its password. I just don't know how to hook it up so I can still use the SE567 modem to my desktop but also use the E2500 wifi for my other wireless devices.
The SE567 has 1 attached client and 1 DHCP which is my desktop. My IP address is 192.168.254.1 and it's attached by Ethernet.
I didn't get any set-up CD with the Linksys. I don't know if I need set-up software or not.
Can someone give me a link or give me the steps to connect the 2 devices so they will both perform the way I described. Again, I'm not very computer literate so if you could use simple words it would help.
Thanks so much.

How to create extend network through existing wifi router-Belkin N150

Dear sir,
I like to inform you that customer are using belkin N150 wifi router in his room( For wifi) but he want to extend his network with the help of airport express through existing network (wifi).Is it possible to extend network by the airport express?Please give the suggestion or step to configure the airport express through existing WIFI network.
I am waiting for your reply as earliest.
Thanks,
Dipankar Das

.Is it possible to extend network by the airport express?
Yes, if the AirPort Expess will connect to the Belkin router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection.
No, if you want the AirPort Express to connect to the Belkin router using wireless.
If you want to extend using wireless, then use another Belkin product, which will be compatible with your Belkin router.

Alternative to ADSL nation modem

Until recently I was happily using an ADSL Nation modem with my Airpot Extreme, but I have changed ISP (TalkTalk to O2, UK) and the modem is not compatible with O2.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for an alternative? I'm looking for something fairly solid to cope with office VPN connections. I would like something that doesn't run too hot is possible.

Hi,
As you may guess I don't visit here often but I have just come across your question.You have probably solved your problem by now but on the off chance this is any use to you--I believe the Draytek Vigor 120 ADSL 2+Modem works particularly well with Airport Extreme Base Station.
If you go to the Draytek UK site they give instructions on the ( very easy ) set up to O2.
Cheers.

Connecting AE to non-apple wireless adsl router (Belkin)

Hi,
I have an Wireless VoIP ADSL router (Belkin) that was provided by my ISP that I use for my home phone and Internet access. It is only a/b/g capable. I currently use it to wirelessly connect to the Internet and other computers on the wireless/wired network from my Macbook Pro. My Macbook Pro has my iTunes and music on it.
I am wondering if I can purchase the AE to plug in by my stereo and connect it wirelessly to the Belkin so that I can stream music to the stereo from the Macbook Pro via the Belkin (eg. Macbook -> Belkin -> AE). I would also like to use the Ethernet port on the AE by the stereo to connect a media center into the wireless network (the media center only has an ethernet port - no wireless built in).
If this won't work will I be able to just run the AE as a 2nd wireless AP and connect to it directly from the Macbook Pro when I want to play tunes through the AE? This would not be ideal as I would in theory only be able to connect to either the AE for music streaming or the Belkin for Internet access.
Can the Macbook connect to the Belkin via 802.11a or g for instance and the AE using 802.11n at the same time?
Thanks,
Graham

Yes, you should be able to do this with the newer 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). Because you have a requirement to have the AXn's Ethernet port enabled, you would just need to reconfigure the AXn as a ProxySTA.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility. The feature should work with any wireless network: a, b, g, or n; and 5GHz or 2.4GHz. (Note that the Express, which ships with firmware 7.3, must also be updated to firmware 7.3.1 for this feature to appear.)

I have bought a TC to extend the range of the wireless network in the house and would like someone to explain the best way to do this? My combine router/modem is supplied by Movistar(in Spain) model Xavi 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports.

What is the best way to extend my wireless network in the house using a TC? I currently use a combined router/modem supplied by Movistar(live in Spain) model XAVI 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports. What is the best configuration and can you explain what is meant by bridging and which is best to bridge for signal strenght TC or Xavi modem/router? Have ipads, iphones, apple tv...etc and want a connection them all in the whole house which, not just downstairs, to our wireless network.

You cannot wireless bridge Apple to non-apple router.. so that is out.
The only way you can do this is run ethernet or EOP adapters.. and place the TC in a location where the other apple idevices can reach it.
If you want to repeat wireless with apple routers you have to use another apple router next to the modem.. plugged in an running as an AP.
Basically the TC is the wrong piece of equipment unless you want Time Machine backups.. take it back and buy a universal repeater.. not apple. Or buy more apple stuff like an extreme or express.. one apple router is useless to you without running ethernet.

Ibook wifi with usb modem with adsl router

how could you connect the ibook so that it's wireless to the phone line. I'm gonna have to buy all the parts but what's the easiest way to do this ?

To give the iBook G4 wireless the ability to connect to a wireless network, you simply need to install an AirPort Extreme card. The last iBook G4s had wireless built-in.
If you have a ADSL modem without an Ethernet output you will need to replace that modem with a modem that does have an Ethernet output. Then you can buy any inexpensive 802.11b/g compliant wireless router to provide a wireless network for your iBook.
