Connecting the WAP to a Third Party Router

Is it possible to connect the wireless access point for the set top boxes behind a third party router?

Generally will say NO per ATT info. One user posted he got it working, he knew what he was doing. There are certain attributes that have to be on the router for it to work. 802.1p and IGMP snooping were needed on the 3rd party router.

On the continuing saga of third party router problems......

I got an Apple TV which works great with my wireless Airport WDS, but then I was looking into any problems people could be having with it and ran into this:

Check the third party router problems where Airports worked great.
Networking is ...networking, but you also get what you pay for.

Connecting my iMac G5 to the internet using a third party router

I have an iMac G5 using (10.4.11) and a Linksys Wireless-G Router (WRT54GS). Currently I have my iMac directly connected to the router and a Macbook and PC using the wireless connection. I'd like to move my iMac to upstairs and leave the router and modem downstairs. When I unplug the router from my iMac it will not find a connection wirelessly. How do I set this up?

I've purchased and installed a new Airport Extreme card. The problem is that while AirPort is showing up and listed as on in System Preferences>Network, it isn't finding mine or anyone's network to join. I have a MacBook and iPod Touch that are both connected to this network and found it easily. I've gone through all the settings on my laptop and made them exactly the same as my desktop and there's still nothing ....

Connect Express to third-party router

I am considering buying an AirPort Express to use with AirTunes. But first I want to know if it would be possible to wirelessly connect the AirPort to my third-party 802.11g DSL router to use as a wireless bridge, or whatever it's called.

Not via the AX's Ethernet port.
With the AX's configured as a wireless client any client of the network (wireless or connected via Ethernet to the main base station) will be able to stream music to the AX and use a printer attached to the AX.

Connecting to third-party router, but unable to browse or e-mail

I am using an Airport Extreme card in my PowerBook G4 running firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18). Our office Wi-Fi access is through a third-party router. We used to use MAC address filtering, and I had no problem accessing the network.
Recently, for reasons unclear to me, our IT director ditched the MAC address filtering in favor of the WPA-personal standard. I was able to enter the encryption key and get connected to the network, but I wasn't able to get my browser to access the internet, nor send or receive e-mail traffic.
Our IT folks temporarily disabled all security and restarted the wireless router, but I was still only able to connect to the router, and not use my browser or e-mail, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the use of WPA per se. I tried temporarily turning off my own firewall, too, but the problem remained.
Oddly, I can open up the Terminal and Ping successfully to an outside address -- only http and e-mail traffic seems to be blocked. The Windows-based PCs seem to be able to connect to the wireless network and use their browsers to access the internet without any problem. Any thoughts as to what else I might try, or have the IT administrators try, to resolve the problem?
Thanks,
Sid

Hello kilgores. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Something to ask your IT staff is if they use a proxy server for Internet access. If so, do they require proxy configuration scripts (.pac) to provide access to the Internet through your company's firewall. This information would normally be added to your browser's settings.

Connecting a third party router to accompany actiontec router?

So I'm thinking about ordering a second router but I don't want to replace the actiontec router that Verizon supplied me, only because I don't have any clue what to do with my STB's so I'm going to leave the Actiontec specifically for that reason. I have the exact same setup with this exact router at my father's house and nothing seems to have gone wrong. Except that we hooked up an extra room specifically for the third party router. This time, I have nowhere for that to happen, so I was thinking about buying a moca bridge and plugging it in to an existing coaxial jack which another STB is plugged into. If I did this with the new router and simply gave only the one STB internet connection via Ethernet through the third party router, and left the rest on the actiontec, would it still work without messing anything up? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not exactly clear what it is you want to accomplish, but if I understand correctly that you want to have an Ethernet connection for a single device in another part of your house, a part of the house where there's an existing coax feed, then a MoCA adapater should do the trick for you.
If indeed you're just trying to get that single Ethernet connection you won't need another router. You can plug the Ethernet device directly into the output of the MoCA adapter.
If you need more than one Ethernet connection after the MoCA adapter what you can use is a simple and inexpensive Ethernet switch. Again, you don't need another router.
The only case I can envision for needing a second router in your situaiton is if you want to use it to extend WiFi coverage, but just for Ethernet connection(s) a second router is not needed and may be counter productive.

Configuration of third-party router

Hello,
I'm trying to configure a router in place of my BT Home Hub. I am pretty sure it has to be PPPoE because it's ethernet out the back of the Home Hub. I tried what was posted on these forums, I used [email protected] with 'bt' as the password. However, the PPPoE connection just times out.
One place I saw said I needed to configure a VLAN of 101. No luck with or without a VPN.
All I ever get is a timeout. If I plug the ethernet from the modem back into the BT Home Router, it works fine, so I know my line works.
Some of the settings I can change in the third party router are:
PPPoE Username
PPPoE Password
MTU/MRU
VLAN (yes/no) and VLAN ID
Encryption (yes/no)
Mac Address (default or I can enter one)
Do I need to power cycle the VDSL modem and leave it off for a period of time to get it it to forget the BT Home Hub? I did try power cycling for maybe 5-10 seconds but to no avail.
In the PPP log, all I ever see is PPP Timeout.
Anyone have any idea how to get this working?

HomeHub2 as Modem with Third Party Router, Securit...

okay i've configured my Homehub to be set as a Router and conencted a Belkin G Plus Mimo router as the third party router, connection and everything is fine but theres on problem...
security, there is no scurity protecting my wireless network which means everyone can access my network which is bad.
when i try accessing the third party router (belkin router) i'm forwarded to the BT home hub control panel page...
any help? i need protection on my wireless!
Kind Regards, Bert

Hi Bert,
What you will need to do is manually change your Network Adaptor to an address in the 192.168.2.2-255 range. Set the gateway to 192.168.2.1 and try and access your third party router again. Then enable the DHCP Server on the LAN interface of your Belkin router.
Don't forget that you have to be connecting through your Belkin router in order to use it properly like Computer - Belkin - Homehub, not Computer - Hub - Belkin otherwise it will just ignore the additional router (Belkin).
You will also need to add a Static Route on the Belkin and set the Destination network to 192.168.1.0/24 and set the gateway to 192.168.1.254 in order to access the internet and Homehub. This will need to be set on the WAN interface.
I hope this helps.

Pairing AX with Third Party Router

Hi,
I try to set a network by connecting AX with thrid party WiFi router (to create a router network). I can not manage to pair it as I wish, but I am aware that not all Third party router are able to connect with Airports and WDS.
I try to pair with a Sitecom (WL-026)
Do someone knows about AX -3rd Party comaptibility?
Thanks
Yann

Since I'm not at home, I can't go into my AX config right now. However, is what you're suggesting quite easy (i.e., setting up my AX to connect to my NON-WDS supporting 3rd party P.O.C. router's network)?
I am currently doing it the brute force way: two separate networks, one (3rd party) connected to the world, one (AX) connected to the stereo. This is all well and good except that I have no internet connectivity when I'm using the stereo. OK... not so well and good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to use a third party router with BT...

Hi all,
I currently have BT Infinity & Unlimited calls on my package, but I use a third party router, namely a Netgear WNR3500L in place of my original v2 Infinity Home Hub.
Now, my question is this: Do I have to use a Home Hub with Vision, or would I be okay using my current setup?
I do realise that if I use a third party router, I won't get support from BT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI expects,
HOW COULD CONNECT FROM SAP SYSTEM TO THIRD PARTY JAVA or . DET APPLICATION.please provide me some scenarios and documents.please help me.

Hi,
In the sender side i.e. in SAP system you can use IDoc/RFC/Proxy to push the data to XI.
IDoc supports only Async communication and in Sync case performace is good using Proxy.
In the receiver side you can use Java Proxy to connect to the Java application or you can even bulid a webservice over the Java/.Net application and use SOAP adapter to post data to it.

GR date (MIGO) as the Billing date in Third Party Sale

Dear All,
I have a scenario where the GR date should be the billing date in third party sale.
Can it be accomplished by any user exits of billing? Please share your ideas and if this can be done through user exit, please name the user exit.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ipsit

hi,
read sales order number or PO number or get the information from document flow of VBFA if pO exists thengo to PO history in EKBE table if BWART - 101 then trigger billing document with reference to SALES ORDER on the same day.
for that you need to create a Back Ground Job in SM36.

What are the key questions for third party order process?

hi all,
what type of questions can i receive for third party order process?
pls.. do the needful
thanks to all.

Hi arun,
Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales
Customize the third party sales in summary:
1. Create Vendor XK01
2. Create Material Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.
10. Billing

Come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?

come here and discuss the business process of Third Party Purchase Order?
when this po is used and the following process is what?

Hi YuLin
It is a vague topic..anyways i will tell you one important scenario of the 3rd party order :Third Party Without Shipping Notification(its imp one)
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you.
In this scenario, the vendor does not send a shipping notification. The incoming invoice from the vendor updates the billing quantity, so that the customer-billing document is only possible after entering the invoice from the vendor
Function List
The following functions are provided to support the Third Party Without Shipping Notification (J55) building block:
When the order is created, the specification of material numbers, quantity and conditions takes place at item level. As the material is not available on stock, a purchase requisition is created directly within the sales order.
Purchase Order Processing
The purchase requisition can already be automatically assigned during creation. If not, it is possible to assign the purchase requisition manually. The purchase order is created with reference to the purchase requisition. The quantity and the material are transferred from the sales order. The purchase order price can now also be determined using condition records.
Vendor Invoice Verification
The vendor invoice verification must take place before customer billing. The quantity of the invoice updates the quantity to be invoiced in the sales order.
Billing Documents
The billing documents are carried out on the basis of the order. Since the vendor might not deliver the exact quantity ordered, quantity adjustment takes place through the quantity in the vendor's invoice.
Controlling
The revenue and costs will be posted to CO-PA via the billing document
Key Points
As no shipping notification is available, the customer invoice can only be created after having finished vendor invoice verification.
Normal process you can refer in help.sap.com under this link
