Does it work with Sky modem/router?

Hi folks,
does the airport express base station work with Sky broadband?
I want to connect the base station to my router via ethernet cable (in 2 different rooms) and use it to extend my wireless range, and print wirelessly.
Anybody done this with the standard issue sky modem/router?
Cheers

Hi
The 'standard issue' modem/router as provided by Sky used to be the NetGear DG834G IIRC? If it still is this model then yes it works. IMO it's best to attach the AE and use it in Bridge Mode. Depends on what you want to achieve though.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, it won't work, Sky have blocked the ability to mirror the Sky Go app.

  • LaPastenague can you help? TC is refusing to work with existing modem/router

    My home office network setup is driving me mad!  I've identified the issue - my TC is competing with my modem/router.  What I haven't been able to do is fix the problem.  I've tried setting it up as a bridge, tried turning off wireless and nothing has worked.  Are you able to help before I throw an almighty tantrum?
    Here's my set up:
    * Primary computer is a MacBook Air which is on wireless 24/7
    * Secondary computer is a MacBook Pro, also operating on wireless
    * Time capsule is used as a server of sorts, to store all our files which are then accessed via the laptops.  It's only a few months old.
    * Router is also new (yes, someone sold us incompatible devices).  It's a Netgear D6200. 
    * We've set up both a 5G and a 2.4G wireless network, but operate on 5G 99% of the time
    * There are 2 x Airport Express in the house - one connected to the printer, one connected to the surround sound system
    * There are also 2 x Apple TVs and 1 x iPhone connected to the network
    Are you able to help me figure out the best setup?  I know it's possible - I just can't figure out how to do it

    I presume the modems you've suggested are all compatible with my apple devices?  I read somewhere amidst your recommendations that apple doesn't play nicely with non-apple modem/routers.
    Depends on brands.. Netgear is near the bottom.. overall TP-Link is pretty good.. they are certainly aware of the need to test against Apple products and special protocols, and tweak here and there to get better results.
    It is important to understand though.. what I want you to do is basically turn the modem router into a dumb modem.. it will have no part in the network other than translation of ethernet packets to ATM phone networking packets. All the routing will be handled by the Apple router.
    Yes, the Netgear is a wifi/DSL modem & router.  I'm using wireless on the Netgear.  I didn't turn wireless off on this device as I assumed I should be relying on that as my router given it was recommended instore.  I'll give that a go now.
    Shakes head::
    Never ever believe what the salesman in the store tells you. He always has one at home that works perfectly with every piece of equipment you happen to have. And it fixes warts and herpes.. and most everything.. the bottle says snake oil. Apply liberally to dumb customers.
    The reason I suggest a very cheap modem.. is that it will do nothing .. except translate packets. Ethernet to ATM.. ATM to Ethernet.. completely dumb.. You can bridge the Netgear but that seems a horrible waste.. I would prefer you to return it to the store for refund.. or at worst sell it off..
    Even if you need to use it as a router.. which we are still getting to.. there is no need to use its wireless.
    Anyway keep in touch with how it goes.

  • Does TC work with an ISDN router?

    I have a friend with an ISDN internet router with ethernet ports, and a windoz pc.
    Now he would like to add a macbook with TC, for TM and wireless internet connection.
    Question is simple: does TC works if connected to an ISDN router, or does he absolutely
    need an ADSL router?

    In fact, I couldn't believe when my country Apple Store told me by phone
    "no, the TC cannot be connected to an ISDN modem"....
    So I have a new question: the first time, when we need to configure the TC,
    we have to connect the macbook with an ethernet cable, right?
    We don't want to use the pc to do this task.

  • Will Hylafax work with speedtouch modem?

    I am having trouble getting Hylafax to work with my speedtouch modem. when i run faxaddmodem, it asks for the serial port number but i don't know where to get that info. Does it work with adsl modems at all? Thnx.

    Well... I got the AEBS working! but its working thru an old router... For some reason in my ignorance I thought if it cannot lock to the dynamic IP of the modem then would it be able to lock to the static ID of another router?? The answer is yes! Not the idea setup sure! but for the time being I have got the power of the airport extreme and the disk facility and remote printer etc.
    Actually it's a pretty crap solution really, but it's bought me some time...
    Vodafone said there shouldn't be a problem and it should work, they know of no problems...
    I think I'm just gonna send it back and maybe pull the remainder of my hair out..
    Thanks for your help...

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • AT&T Microcell does NOT work with Time Warner Technicolor Modem!

    After a frustrating two weeks of working through problems with AT&T, trying to get my Microcell on-line, Time Warner finally informed me that the Microcell does not work with their new Technicolor modem. Incredibly annoying that none of the AT&T reps I spoke to knew this. I walked in the Time Warner office to swap out the moden, the clerk there immediately knew the problem because he use to work at AT&T.  How a former AT&T rep knew this and none of the new ones did, is beyond me.  

    There are so many ISP configured routers and gateways out there that it is impossible for AT&T support to keep track of what is compatible and what is not. We are just starting to see reports of incompatibilities with the Technicolor gateways (TWC equipment has a long history of problems with the MicroCell). Unfortunately the support reps are limited in what they can tell the customer and unless AT&T documents and verifies equipment incompatibilites they can't say anything. What the "former AT&T rep" knew may have been in-house discussions. AT&T, like any provider, has to be careful not to immediately blame the other party without "proof". The more documented complaints AT&T receives concerning a specific piece of equipment the better. However, it is up to the ISP to fix and/or replace their equipment when it comes to compatibility problems. Specific firmware pushes for specific equipment by AT&T to the MicroCell is not a viable alternative nor is it realistic.

  • Using airport express with 3com modem/router

    Hi all,
    I have a 3COM modem/wifi router with serial code 3CRWE754G72-A.
    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and to my dismay the wifi does not work with my Router (I have all latest updates etc.). I have no idea why, but apple support say its cos my router is crap and they dont support 3rd party routers (they checked my MBP and found nothing wrong with it apparently, connects to apple base stations no probs)... there are loads of threads on this topic of incompatible wifi routers with the MBP in the MBP discussion area so I wont go into details on that.
    My question is: is there any way the airport express could be of use? From what I understand usually you can use it to extend your wireless network by adding it as a client to the existing network. However I am suspicious if it will pickup on my 3com wireless network... my MBP doesnt so I wouldnt be surprised if this didnt either!! Is it somehow possible to disable the wifi on my 3com router and connect it directly via ethernet to an airport express, and use the airport express solely for createing the wifi network?
    Any other suggestions welcome!

    My question is: is there any way the airport express could be of use?
    The only thing the AirPort Express (AX) could possibly do is join the wireless network created by that router as a client. This would only give you the ability to use the AX's USB printer port and AX's audio output. This would NOT give you the ability to use the AX's Ethernet port.
    If your MacBook Pro can't join the wireless network provided by that device, the AX probably can't either.
    The AX can not be used to extend the network provided by that device nor can the AX's Ethernet port be enabled to allow you to connect your MacBook Pro. Both of these require compatibility with Apple's WDS which that device does not have.

  • My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

    Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
    Apple AirPort Time Capsule
    I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
    I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
    Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured,  but then it works.
    The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
    So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

    I can deal with the last question first and easily.
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
    Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
    When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
    Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
    A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
    It can take several hours..
    7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
    35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
    The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
    Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

    Hello SavannahSweetie,
    I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
    Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
    Basic troubleshooting
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
    Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
    Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
    Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Photosmart C4780 won't work with my new router.

    Hi
    I have been sent a new plusnet TG582n router after my old one broke and now my wireless printer won't work.
    I have tried uninstalling the software and connecting the printer via USB to reinstall on my windows 7 netbook but it came up with drivers failed to install.
    On my windows 8.1 laptop I have uninstalled and reinstalled and this was unable to complete. I have now done a restore to a previous setting on both of them so the software and drivers are still on.
    I have tried connecting my printer via USB cable but this tries to install the software again.
    If I go into devices my printer shows up with error and won't print.
    After trying all this I have now done a restore on the printer to factore settings (also trying the uninstall and reinstall via USB after this) and it still won't work.
    After doing a wireless test report it came up with my old ssid initially even after installing my new router which has a new ssid. After resetting the printer it now comes up with SigmaplusEOL1. It shows on the report that wirelss is on and working but ssid fail.
    I don't know what else to try as I have spent hours tyring different things and done trouble shooting several times.
    I have also been told by plusnet that t he routershould work for wireless n or wireless g.
    Please help!

    Hi Tazza,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your HP Photosmart C4780, will not work with your new router. I am happy to help you with this!  I believe these following guides should help:
    The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Network Installation in Windows.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Just to make sure the hardware is functional, can you make copies standalone with the printer? Or what happens when you print a status report? Video of Printing a status report.
    Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

  • How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

    How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

    By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets.  There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels.  Currently WAAS provides marking only.  There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.

  • Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Took deliverly of my R2000 yesterday 11/04/2012.
    **** of a job/mission getting to connect wirelessly to OSX Lion, but thanks to the perseverence of Epson support online chat plus ultimately phone call from Epson,the problem was resolved (total 3hours 45mins online chat 45mins on phone) yes i was a gineapig as the R2000 has only been available since March 2012 here in the UK.
    1. Download combo driver/utilities for R2000 Mac 10.6 (works with Lion)
    2. Install latest drivers and Epsonet.
    3. Connect the printer to your wireless router using a LAN cable.
    4. Ensure ink is installed on startup of the printer as the printer wont for some reason communicate without it as all the printer knows is it needs ink.
    5. Ensure Mac is also connected to router.
    6. Run Epsonet.
    7. When Epsonet has found the R2000 click next.
    8. Then click Changes on the following screen.
    9. Select wireless Lan.
    10. Select config manually (the auto will not work with Lion)
    11. Allow Epsonet to use passwords from keychain network name(SSID) + WEP password.
    12. When done you will be prompted to disconnect the LAN from the printer.
    13. Then Click next.
    14. Ensure wireless light on printer is lit if not hold WiFi button on printer for 3 Secs.
    15. If config is successful (it took me Two attempts) goto system preferences/print/scan/Add printer and add the R2000 that ends in IP.
    Hope this helps someone. Epson support is a good enough reason to buy Epson IMO as mentioned with their help it took nearly 4 hours to reach the above solution at no cost to myself and believe you me i was on the verge of returning the printer to the supplier as Wireless printing is a must with a 19 month old child on the loose.
    Thanks Epson/Europe
