Connecting iphone via airport extreme on dsl

I just moved to a location that does not have access to cable internet and have switched to DSL..(*****). Is there any way for me to just connect without having to use PPPoE. with cable all I had to do was walk into the room..
Can anyone tell me how to connect an iphone via PPPoe?? If I connect to the router I still access the internet. How can I put my user name and password into my iphone like i do on my laptop via PPPoE or is there another way to connect??
Please help!!

Hola ehaser,
I have DSL and I have my Airpot Extreme connected to the DLS router using PPPoE. You do not have to enter the PPPoE info on the iPhone. All you need is the network name and password you have set up for on the Airport Extreme.

No Internet via Airport Extreme and Speedtouch Ethernet DSL modem

I've recently purchased a McBook pro and wanted to create a wireless network. I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and have successfully set that up, but with no internet connection!
I can get a perfect connection by hardwiring either of my machines to the DSL Modem directly (via Ethernet cable), but when i connect the Airport Extreme to the DSL Modem via ethernet there is no internet.
After a bit of research i'm wondering if there is a "bridge" issue... though i have no idea what that means or how to resolve it. Can anyone help?
Details:
Airport Extreme 802.11n
Speedtouch DSL Modem (Thomson ST510 v6)
G5 Power PC Tower (10.4.11) will connect to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, currently connects to the DSL modem via ethernet.
MacBook Pro (10.6.4) will connect wirelessly. can currently connect to the internet through the DSL modem via ethernet.
Dynamic IP via ISP connection via PPPoa

Hi Steven, I know this question has been answered and is a couple of months old but I think you may be able to help with my set up? I have a Thomson speedtouch 510 v6 modem router provided by Karoo (UK). My other Belkin N modem router has just bust [again] so the Speedtouch is my old faithful backup device. Now, i've never been able to get on ichat with the Belkin as its a mimo n speed and this is apparently not compatible; So i'm now on ethernet with the st510 and have just set up ports for ichat thanks to a thread called http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2719419&#2719419.
What I want to know from you (because I really need a wireless router to get me off this ethernet support system and back on airport) is how you're getting on with the st510 / airport extreme combo now and can you use ichat on it? If so does your connection doctor say full cone in network settings or something else? As I say, I really want to use ichat and have never been able to in 3 years of owning my Macbook Pro. Hope to hear back from you Steven. Regards Steph

Internet connection via Airport Extreme/router thats not working, why?

I have been having problems with the internet connection via Airport Extreme which I find it a bit unusual and its still driving me nuts! This is what happened:
I have lost my internet connection last Sunday evening upon my return from a weekend away from home. The last time I have used the internet connection on my macbook was the previous Friday morning. Prior to the apparent disconnection on Sunday, I have always used my internet connection wirelessly through Airport Extreme (that is connected via ethernet cable to the NETGEAR DG834v2 ADSL modem which had worked beautifully until the problem arose on my return). This wireless internet connection allowed me to surf the internet anywhere in my home.
However, upon the successful re-connection to the internet via the modem router, I have discovered several new problems. I have tried to set up the internet connection wirelessly again but instead the following happened:
1. Router (Netgear) drops ADSL connection and cannot reconnect when connected to airport via Ethernet. (which is the case when using airport wireless).
2. Router connects to ADSL fine when computer is connected to it via Ethernet. (However, router disconnects when magsafe power adapter is taken out for some inexplicable reason!)
3. Router connects to ADSL fine when nothing is connected to the router (ie. No Ethernet connections)
4. Router connects to ADSL fine when connected to airport via Ethernet and computer is connected to airport via Ethernet.
So from the above, I cannot connect to the internet properly whether wirelessly or not so I suspect it could be faulty router or could it be airport extreme? I have asked my ISP for an explanation and all they have said is that it cannot be the mis-configuration but could be to do with the power adaptors or the way plugs are set up and suggested I take out all the power plugs (and power surge protector) out to switch everything off, the macbook, router, printer and airport extreme. However, when I have re-plugged them all back in, the problems I have described above still persists!
Would appreciate any help if anyone here recognises why this is the case and what seems to be the cause of this. If so, what should I do? Though I have written back to my ISP again yesterday for more help so im waiting to hear from them...
Thanks

Printing problems with HP 1012 connected via Airport Extreme - resolved?

I originally posted on this issue in a long-running discussion on HP printer issues.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10109788#10109788
Problem: Upgraded iMac 10.4.11 to 10.6 Following upgrade everything seemed fine except that the HP 1012 connected via Airport Extreme was not responsive. The system knew the printer was there, had installed the proper driver for it.
Intermediate troubleshooting: I tried to use Airport Utility to check the AE. It timed-out when trying to retrieve the AE setup specifications. I tried to update the firmware (7.4.1 to 7.4.2); system timed-out after a very long several minute "search for new version of the firmware."
Apparent solution: (any of the following may have made the difference - sorry not to have been more systematic)
a. I turned off AP on the iMac.
b. I unplugged the AE base station for one minute+, then re-powered it.
c. I opened my MBP with 10.5.7. Started up Airport Utility.
d. I renamed the base station. Left all other settings alone.
e. I installed the 7.4.2 firmware upgrade.
f. I ran Preference Repairs on the iMac (though I had done this right after installation of 10.6)
g. I turned on AP on the iMac.
Result: Almost immediate connection to AP, printer quickly began printing several of the test documents that must have been waiting in queue.
Too early to tell if I will have any further problems if if it permanently fixed.
Thanks to the several messages in both Printer and Network categories that suggested one or more of the above steps.

I hooked up my wife's Deskjet 5150 to my mac via USB. Since the 5150 does not have a driver from HP to work in SL. I decided to us the generic Gutenprint v5.2.3. For the heck-of-it, I picked, HP Deskjet 5550-Gutenprint v5.2.3. It prints. and the utility works, BTW, I am low on black ink.
I also tried the other printer drivers labeled "any printer name"-Gutenprint v5.2.3. and they all worked with the 5150.
So now that I know that the 5150's will work via USB with SL, I will now upgrade the other two laptops in my house to SL.
How to:
Turn printer on.
open System pref/ printer-fax/ add printer
Select hp desktop 5100
(name: -- Change name if you want - I kept " hp deskjet 5100"
Location: Your computer
Print Using: open dropdown box, select printer software. Type in: " Gutenprint" or "deskjet". I picked the HP Deskjet 5550-gutenprint v5.2.3. but I do not think it matters as long as it is a -gutenprint v5.2.3 driver.
Select OK

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

Not without a player..
The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.

Macbook connectivity to internet via airport extreme is flakey

Hi,
Just bought a brand new airport extreme and I already own a June 2009 Mac book pro w/ snow leopard.
I always run software updater, so the Airport 2009-002 patch/fix is on this system.
I have a strange problem with my connectivity to the internet from my mac via the airport extreme.
Very regularly (and seemingly randomly) the laptops connectivity to the internet will drop out... i.e. websites won't respond, big websites (like google) don't respond to pings or anything. While these internet "drop outs" are happening, i can jump onto my PC (which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet) and the internet is working fine.
Also, Wifi never drops out through this whole situation. This means that while I can't access the internet, my reception is still FULL and I can SAMBA connect to my PC and with other computers on the network.
It's very strange that purely internet via the Airport Extreme is having these issues.
The Airport is in Bridge mode (which means the ADSL modem/router is the DHCP server). The ADSL modem/router does not have wifi active or anything connected to it (other than the airport).
I've never had any issues with my internet - this is the first. My only real option if this can't get resolved is to return the airport, as this is inhibiting me from working from my laptop.
Anyone else experience similar issues?
Can someone recommend any course of action to work around this issue?
Is there anymore information this forum needs to debug this problem? How can I obtain this info?
I hope someone can help.
Regards,
Vijay

I seem to be in a very similar predicament, however I'm served even worse:
I'm loosing Internet connection over both LAN and WIFI. And the Airport Extreme does not detect the loss of connection even though the logging indicates the internal ntp client (trying to connect to time.euro.apple.com) fails (already on dns resolution).
Currently, I'm dvlp-ing a shell script that checks 4 websites, and if all 4 are unaccessible, I launch an applescript that restarts my airport extreme basestation.
This however does not always seems to solve the problem. Seemingly I would have to reset the modem.
The problem can - according to me - not be provider related, since it does not occur when the TimeMachine is replaced by a SL-installed mac mini (that however cannnot function as router (yet)).
Any hints ? anyone ?
I previously had installed an Airport Extreme 10/100 version, which showed the same behaviour. Since the system was out of warranty, I decided to upgrade to a faster system, including TimeMachine, but unfortunately, the problem is still there.
I'm guessing now it could be related to the router being configured in dhcp (getting its ip address over dhcp), but the server provides a static ip address (never changes),... and maybe here there's something fishy.

Connect 3 LANs over internet via airport Extreme

I have 3 offices for my small business and would like to connect all 3 LANs for a variety of operational reasons without getting a virtual LAN from the ISP (as this is cost prohibative and we have 3 different ISPs due to geographic locations).
I have heard this is possible via Airport Extreme, but I am unable to find any documentation on the matter.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Also should note that at the primary location I have a Mac Mini q-Core Lion Server.

How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?

How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?

IPhone not connecting to my Airport Extreme (password invalid)

I've been trying to get my iPhone to connect to my Airport Extreme since I got the phone, it finds my network but fails to connect when I enter the password.
I have tried changing the network password several times but nothing seems to help, The airport security is set to 40-bit wep with a password 5 digits long using only numbers.
I have been able to connect to several public Wi-Fi with or without passwords so that makes me think my problem is either the type of security I'm using or some sort of limitation regarding the length of the password.
Thanks in advance.

there was a post earlier where someone had talked to apple about it and they were told engineering is working on it. it isn't just your router, it is happening on all of them, linksys, etc. some have found workarounds, others have to wait for engineering.

Is it possible to have two hard drives connected to my airport extreme and use one to store my itunes library/iphoto and the other to backup via time machine? Will the second (larger) drive back-up both my mac HD and my other external airport drive?

For the past year I've been using an external hard drive (HD1) connected to my airport extreme as the back-up location for time machine. This has worked fine without any issues. What I would like to do now is to move my itunes and iphoto libraries off of my laptop (space constraints) and store them on a second external hard drive (HD2) connected to the airport extreme. I have successfully connected the second hard drive using a Belkin powered USB hub. What I am wondering is if I direct my time machine back-ups to HD1 will it back-up both my mac HD as well as HD2? I apologize if this has already been answered but i've read conflicting responses on various message boards and a number of responses were dated so I wanted to make sure I received the latest information.
thank you

That may be true, but you need to know that backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk. Do not be surprised if those backups suddenly turn up corrupted.
What I am wondering is if I direct my time machine back-ups to HD1 will it back-up both my mac HD as well as HD2?
No. Time Machine cannot back up from any network location. The 3rd-party utilities CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.

Can you search an external hdd connected via airport extreme

I have my western digital 500gb harddrive connected to my airport extreme so I can use my HD wirelessly. I tried searching for files in my wireless harddrive through finder, but it doesn't seem to search it, only on my macbook itself. Is it possible to search the harddrive wirelessly?

Smokerz,
could you explain??
I spent over an hour with Apple Tech support and they said that Finder/Spotlight WILL NOT search a networked drive. However, I did find a bit of a work around:
1. In Finder Preferences: General - Select check box - 'Always open folders in new window'
2. Open up a Finder window
3. Select Airport Extreme. (Left column, Shared, name of Airport base station)
4. Select networked drive
5. Double Click a folder in your network drive that you want to search (this opens new window)
6. In the new window, type what you need in the search window (upper right hand corner).
Remember: The Finder window will default to the 'This Mac' in the search column (light grey line below the Toolbar)
7. In the Search column, This Mac and Contents are selected in Dark Grey. You should see
Search: *This Mac* "folder name" Shared | Contents File Name
8. Now select "folder name". This will search the contents of the selected folder and bypass your Mac.
If there is an easier way, could you please explain. TIA
Narvon
PS - If you try to select your networked drive in a new window as in step 5, this still won't work. You can only select specific folders within the drive. Lastly, you can move all your folders and files to 1 folder, however, this increases the search time (My network drive is 320GB in size and a search for 1 known file took just over 3 minutes).

Can't print from iPad to HP via Airport Extreme (5th gen)

I have an HP Deskjet 5900 connected to an Airport Extreme (5th gen), via the USB port. I'm currently running 10.6.8 and have succesfully setup the printer such that I can print wirelessly from my MacBooks, as well as directly from my MacPro desktop (which is connected to the AEB through the network).
What I can't do is AirPrint from my iPad or iPhone.
I've skimmed through quite a few questions on here, but haven't come across this specific scenerio. The closest one refers to printers that are AirPrint compatible, but I believe that only applies to wireless printers that are being connected on their own (without an AEB).
I really hope I don't have to download an app for this... it's built right into the iOS!
Thanks for the help.
Stephen

To use AirPrint directly from your iPad, you will need a printer that is AirPrint-compatible. Currently, the HP Deskjet 9500 is not one of them. There a few workarounds, but they will require obtaining an App.

ITunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

Sharing an external drive via airport extreme

I have a network system set up using Airport Extreme (the dome shaped one). It is connected to my ADSL DLink box. I also have an Airport Express plugged in downstair to increase my wireless signal strengh. I have one G3 connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable (because I don't have wireless on that computer). I have a Mac pro beside it, accessing the network via wireless and downstair, I have a powerbook wich accesses the network wirelessly. What I would like to do share my external hard drive with all three computers, so that they can all see my jobs folder, along with iphoto and itunes. I basically want everything to be in sync. Can anyone give me advice on how to best go aout it? I thought I would be able to plug my hard drive into the airport extreme and share it that way, but nothing is showing up on the airport utility. Is my airport too old? Thanks for any help or advice.

Plug the external hard drive into one of your stationary Macs. On that Mac go to System Preferences-> Sharing preference pane and enable File Sharing.
Now you should be able to access that drive from any of your other Macs.
