Connection with cable modem without ethernet possible?

I'd like to put my apple airport extreme base and my external hdds to an other room but there is no possibility for an ethernet connection to my fritz!box. I there a possibility to configure the base to connect to the internet via wlan e.g.
1. Connection MPB ==> Airport Base via WLAN
2. Connection Airport Base ==> Fritz!Box via WLAN
3. Connection to Internet ==> Fritz!Box included modem
4. Using Internet on MBP via Fritz!Box ==> Airport Base

Hello Snoogle. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
2. Connection Airport Base ==> Fritz!Box via WLAN
In order for the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to extend the wireless network of the Fritz!Box router, they would have to be configured in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, only an extremely few non-AirPort routers are WDS-compatible, so it is highly unlikely that you will be able to accomplish this step.

Connecting to cable modem via ethernet hub

My old airport just died and I just began reviewing the capabilities of the airport express. Would it be possible to access a cable modem if I hardwire it into my ethernet network and plug another CAT 5 cable into the airport - giving me wireless access to the rest of the computers and printers on my network.

You cannot directly connect your cable modem to a spare port on your existing ethernet network. Not only will this not allow you to share your internet connection, but it will also significantly complicate file and printer sharing AND it will remove the all-important firewall protection that should be in place between your LAN and the internet.
Therefore, if you want to share a cable modem connection with both wireless and non-wireless computers on a LAN, the Airport Express is not the right product for you. You need to buy either an Airport Extreme Base Station, or a non-Apple wireless router (all of which are designed to also allow a connection to a cabled ethernet LAN).

Router connected to cable modem by Ethernet port cannot get IP address from DHCP.

I have an ethernet cable on Fa0/0 connecting my 1841 router to my cable modem. The issue is that the router cannot obtain an IP address via DHCP when I have the "ACL-OUTSIDE-IN" ACL applied inbound on the Fa0/0 interface. I tried to allow all BOOTP and BOOTPS traffic in my ACL, but still no luck. I really don't want to run the router without a simple ACL firewall and connect it to the internet. When I take off the ACL off of Fa0/0, the router is able to get an IP address via DHCP.

Back to my mac doesn't work with Cable modem

I have at home Cable modem and a Airport Extreme, both use NAT to distribute internet, so it seems even if I connect the cable modem direct to my home Mac (without the Airport) that the Back to my mac doesn't work. Can somebody tell me how can I turn around this problem? Doesn anybody has it too?
The Back to my Mac panel displays this message when I have the Airport Extreme distribuiting the Internet: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one the devices.
And without the Aiport: Back to My Mac isn't working properly because it requieres a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Make sure your router supports one of these protocols and that it is enabled.

If I may continue this thread, I have the same double NAT issue and am using a DSL modem/router combo. I added an Airport Extreme to my Qwest supplied Actiontec dsl Modem/Router in hopes it would solve issues with Back to my Mac, among other things. The dsl modem supports UPnP to some degree, but BtmM doesn't seem to like it.
Currently the setup uses the DSL modem/router first in line, functioning as modem, NAT, router, but no DHCP (or wifi). That plugs into the WAN port of the Airport BaseSta. The Base Station runs in bridge mode, and distributes the ethernet and wifi connections. I would rather bridge the modem and disable its router functions, and let the Airport handle NAT and routing and wifi and Back-To-My-Mac.
What are the alternatives? Any help appreciated!

EA6500 can't connect to cable modem (surfboard 5120)

Hi all -
I've been having a problem trying to connect my new EA6500 to my cable modem (motorola surfboard 5120; charter internet service). When I use my old router (WRT320N), I have internet connectivity and no issues. I am not using bridge mode with my ISP, just automatic DHCP config. I try to access my surfboard's config page (192.168.100.1) while on my new router and get nothing, even though the lights are on and flashing on both the router and modem. No matter what I have tried, i cannot get an IP from my modem.
I have manually updated to the latest firmware (1.1.28.147876) and tried the following suggestions from the forums and internet:
- disabled IPv6
- cloned PC and old router MAC addresses (cloning is DISABLED on my old, working router)
- multiple power cycles and resets on both pieces of equipment
- changed my network to 192.168.100.x to see if I could hit my modem; when pinging surfboard's config page (192.168.100.1) i just got destination host unreachable.
Is it possible that my modem is not compatible? I didn't think it would matter, but its the only thing I can come up with. The settings on both routers are, as far as I can tell, the same. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Do check if the router’s internet port has a light on when connected to your modem’s Ethernet port. It is possible that the router’s internet port is busted. Try to connect a known working Ethernet cable from one of the router’s port to its internet port and see if both ports are on. I do not really see this as a compatibility issue between the router and the modem but possible that it is a hardware problem with the router.

ITunes doesn't find Airtunes when connected with cable, only WiFi

I have an Apple TV with Airtunes enabled. But apparantly, it's not possible to connect to it from PC's who are connected to LAN with cable instead of WiFI? Does anyone know why?
More details:
I have 3 PC's:
PC 1: , Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 (latest)
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 2: 100% fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit and iTunes 9.1.1.12
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 3: Win 7 32-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12
Netbook - connected through WiFi
Apple TV device (latest firmware) is connected to same LAN using cable as well. *All PC's can ping the Apple TV without problems.*
So the problem is that iTunes doesn't find the Airtunes device (the output dropdown selector doesn't show up). I first tried on my main PC (PC1). It didn't work, so i tested on PC2 (wich is a fresh install of both OS and iTunes!), but same problem there.
But then the weird thing happened. I tried to install on my netbook, and it worked! Only difference is that the netbook was connected through WiFi. I don't see why that would matter, but just for fun i tested to disconnect WiFi, and connect with cable and boom - airtunes selection dissappeared! As soon as I disconnected the cable and reconnected WiFi, it appeared again.
Why on earth would Airtunes only work on WiFi? As you can see on this screenshot, network configuration is equal on Wifi and cabled connection. (Apple TV has IP 10.0.1.30)

It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

Airport express won't connect to cable modem

We recently moved to a new residence and just had internet service installed by a technician. Unfortunately, I didn't have my Airport Express handy while he was here, so he simply connected my Macbook Pro directly to the cable modem via ethernet cable. When I found my Airport Express, I disconnected the Macbook Pro from the cable modem and connected the Airport Express to the modem via the same ethernet cable and powered up. The Airport Express began flashing yellow but the flashing yellow never did turn the steady green that indicates the Airport Express is receiving the signal. I called my internet provider but they don't deal with router issues. What can I do?

Cable modems "remember" the device that is connected. Your modem is "remembering" your computer and looking for it when you connect the AirPort Express, so it will not connect to the AirPort Express.
You need to push the reset button on the modem and then power off the modem
Power off everything else on the network...all computers and devices
Wait 15 minutes
Make sure that the ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the AirPort Express
Power up the modem only and let it run 3-4 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few moments
Power up each computer and device one at a time
Check for proper operation.
If...you are switching from a previous DSL service to cable, you may need to reconfigure the AirPort Express. Post back for more info on this.

Setup 1941 router with cable modem and 2 vlan?

hello everyone,
i need a little help setting up my new 1941 router with cable modem using 2 vlns.
this is what i have:
1- 1941 router configured as g0/0 wan port facing isp configured as (dhcp). g0/1 is lan facing the switch (192.168.1.1)
dhcp pool (192.168.1.x)
2- sg300-28pp switch.
3- wap371 AP/ 11pcs..
now everything is working perfect except sometimes we have more than 250 to 300 people trying to connect to the wifi, the router will have no enough ip addresses.
i heard that i can setup 2 vlans to solve this problem? and is there any setup that i have to do on switch and Access points?
please i will appreciate any little help
Regards

hello Andre Neethling i added network 192.168.0.0 255.255.254.0 to dhcp pool config and it seems that it is working but i am concern that i am going to have problem in the future so please take a look at the running config and let me know if i have everything done right. also we want to order static ip address from the provider for our security camera system and we will not longer receive dhcp ip from them and my router setup is to receive it as dhcp on g0/0 so what i should do about changing the settings on g0/0?
i appreciate your help

I have connected my ipad to my computer and logged into iTunes website. On my iPad to restore my my data Ipad I have chosen language, country then it asks you to connect with cable and log into iTunes, I have done that, but cannot find this other information I need to restore from the website. Can you help me please? the 2 replies, I thank you, but this has not helped with my problem.

Your post is somewhat confusing. To restore your iPad you use the iTunes application on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in the left column of iTunes on your computer and select General in the right column. You should find the restore choice there.

Time Capsule connectivity issues with cable modem

I have Comcast internet service (coming through a Linksys CM100 modem, no router) plugged directly to a 2TB dual-band TimeCapsule. In the past this has been working, and the TimeCapsule has been providing internet access to three Macs, as well as backing them up. I also have an AirPort Extreme base station (not the dual-band one but not the 2003-era UFO-shaped one either) that has been connected to the TimeCapsule over house ethernet to provide wireless through the rest of the house. Last night my connection kept dropping out. I could connect to one wifi network and it would not work, then I would connect to the other and it would work for a while before stopping. I have disconnected everything and then replugged only the cable modem and my TimeCapsule. When ethernet is plugged directly into my iMac from the modem, I get an internet connection without issue. When I plug it into the TimeCapsule, it reports an internet connectivity error. It says it gets no IP address, and no DHCP setting that I provide it with alleviates this message.
I'd be gratful for any suggestions on how to fix this issue. I don't really want to wipe the TimeCapsule completely, as it contains our backups to last July.

When ethernet is plugged directly into my iMac from the modem, I get an internet connection without issue. When I plug it into the TimeCapsule, it reports an internet connectivity error.
Because cable modems associate and "remember" the device with which they have established a connection, they need a complete reset whenever you change the device that is immediately connected to them.
Push the reset button, If present, on your modem
Power off the modem
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Power off everything else on the network, order if not important
Wait at least 15 minutes
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule
Power up the modem and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Power up the Time Capsule the same way
Power up each of your other devices about a minute apart
Check for proper operation the network.

Plug-in order for connecting to internet via AP Extreme with cable modem?

Help!
My internet's been a bit slow the past few days. I was scared to do anything because when I first got my Airport Extreme, it took me several days to figure out how to get connected, and it was highly frustrating. I remember that there was always a blinking orange light and some issue the utility couldn't identify, and the ultimate fix had something to do with unplugging and replugging my cable modem, but I'm not sure at what step in the process I did this.
Now, I tried unplugging and replugging the modem and though my base station was showing up in the list of networks under the Airport icon at the top of the screen, it kept saying there was an error when I tried to connect. Airport Utility wasn't even finding any base stations at all, so I tried several orders of unplug/replug to no avail. Each time, the green light was coming on but my computer couldn't find the base station and wouldn't connect to the network. I then tried the reset button (5 seconds). When I reset, the utility could find the base station, but I'm back to blinking amber and when I try to configure the base station, it says "the wireless network could not be found." Does anyone here know the magic order of the plugs? I'm using an Ethernet cable to connect from modem to base station and running Tiger on a Powerbook G4. Any help would really be appreciated!!

Is this a cable modem with a usb port? If so you are correct. It doesn't connect easily. You're better off with a modem that has an ethernet port. Now if you are referring to a Sprint Novatel U720 USB modem I can tell you it works.

Trouble connecting Cisco router with cable modem for Internet purposes

So I am requesting help from the Cisco community on this issue as the cable company states there equipment is working fine. At all my facilities I have a guest Internet service setup through a local Internet provide to provide Internet services to the residents and guests. I have the cable modem usually a Motorola SBG6580 or a SMC 8014 (both provided by cable company) connected to my router on a FE or GE interface. I am using static IPs and using the cable modem just as a modem (bridge mode). Over the past several months these connections have just stopped working. I have not made any drastic changes to my router configs; however, the cable company has updated the firmware on these modems. I am wondering if that could affected how the modem and router talk. I was told by the cable company that the modem sees the Cisco router but that the port is inactive. My router shows the port is active and traffic passing. Does anyone have any ideas that could point where the problem lies? I will post a basic config to one that currently does not work. I am using a VRF to route a certain group out, using NAT. Please let me know if I need to post additional info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know if you need anything else. I need to figure this out and I just don't get it because the other site wasn't working a few days ago and all of a sudden it is working again but others are still not.

Multiple sites ASA's connected to Cable modems with same DHCP address

I have several locations with an ASA 5505 installed behind a cable modem. The cable modem is issuing DHCP for the same network address range in these locations. I have the outside interface obtaining DHCP from the cable moden network and the asa's are receiving the same outside address. I have the remotes set to use EZVPN to create the VPN tunnel back to the head end ASA 5540. I am seeing constant rekeying for phase 2 for those remote sites. is there any thing I can do short of assigning each asa a unique outside address?

Dave
The Linksys doing NAT is the reason why the ASA sees all the traffic as having source address as 192.168.2.1. The only way for the ASA to see the original 192.168.1.x address is to change the Linksys to not do NAT.
One thing that I notice is that there is not a route statement in what you posted for the 192.168.1.0 network. It is not clear whether the route does exist and you did not post it or whether the route does not exist. But if it does not exist it would certainly be a reason why you lose Internet connectivity when you change the Linksys to not perform NAT. (the ASA would have no knowledge of how to forward to the network and would drop all the traffic). Try adding the route to the ASA and changing the Linksys to not perform NAT and let us know if it works.
