Enable the Ethernet Port on the STB ?

Hi
I have a PC right next to the Verizon STB (the HD one w/o DVR) and I was wondering if Verizon can enable the ethernet on the back of the STB so I can plug in the PC and get it networked w/ the rest of the net ?
Thanks,
HC 

AFAIK, the STB should be able to act like a bridge between the MOCA and the ethernet. That's what I am interested in. Anyone thinks it is possible ? Maybe someone from Verizon ?
Thanks,
HC

  • When will Ethernet Port on Fios STB be available?

    It has been over 18 months since tech support indicated that the ethernet port on the back of the STB will be turned on soon. Is there an ETA? Thanks.

    Even though the new 7232s come with a 350gb drive, it pails in comparison to the aftermarket boxes like Moxi.  They need to get 1.9 out.  That said, it's no skin off VZ nose if their customers spend $600 for a Moxie when all they have to supply is the much cheaper cable card.  I believe this is definitely figuring into their product marketing, albeit counter to good customer service.
    Actually, the reports from a few people who have the 7232s are that they have 500 Gb drives (even though the part number would indicate 320 Gb).  Probably since Motorola had already manufactured the front panels before the units were modified to the larger drive - lead times for custom manufactured parts typically are much longer than off the shelf parts like drives.

  • Can Slingbox solo be plugged into the Ethernet port on airport express to connect to network?

    Slim box requires a wired connection to your network unless you purchase their sling link to create a wireless connection through your home electrical outlets.  Can an airport express be used instead?  Would the sling box plug into the Ethernet port on the express or though the USB port.

    It may be possible as the 802.11n AirPort Express can be configured to enable its Ethernet port for wired clients in one of two methods: 1) The Express is extending another AirPort, or 2) The Express is configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.

  • Is there a device I can purchase to enable wifi on my old iMac, like something that plugs into the ethernet port?

    Is there a device I can purchase to enable wifi on my old iMac, like something that plugs into the ethernet port?

    Yes! There are lots of wifi adapters that will work with OS 9 on old iMacs. You can find a comprehensive list of them here:
    http://lowendmac.com/macdan/md09/mac-os-9-wifi.html
    Belkin seems to make a lot of wireless products for OS 9, so that would probably be the name to keep in mind. You can see one of these here:
    http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/belkin_wireless_usb_network_adapter_manua l_os9.pdf
    If you're using an iMac G3, I think those are compatible with AirPort cards, so that's an option too. Good luck!

  • Enable ethernet port on the QIP6416 set top box

    Please :-)

    Why? The MoCa provides all the networking the boxes need. What I do not like are the constant broadcasts that the boxes make over coax that gets bridged over to ethernet through the router. Anyone have information on how to block this without causing problems with the STB? I currently have the ethernet enabled on my ONT, and the STB are MoCa through the router.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • How do I add an airport extreme to existing time capsule network and be able to use the router ethernet ports?

    Good day everyone.  I recently upgraded my airport extreme network by replacing the base station with a time capsule router.  Since I now have an "extra" airport extreme router, I've set it up on the other side of the house to both extend the wireless range as well as use it's LAN ports for a home theater system in that location.  Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet.  It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional.  All devices are operating well for wireless and as a review, the modem is connected to the time capsule WAN which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet cable via LAN to it's WAN port.  What do I need to change on configurations to get the LAN ports functioning on the airport extreme?  Thank you for any help.

    Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet.  It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional.
    With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
    The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
    All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
    Each base station must have a unique base station name.
    Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.

  • How can I make the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on my Airport Express work as a LAN-port? The AE is currently extending my network (generated by a Time Capsule)

    Dear all.
    I currently have a WIFI-network established by a Time Capsule. I want to use my Airport Express as WIFI-receiver for my Samsung TV. How do I pair them up so that the 10/100BASE-T ethernet port works as a LAN-port? I used to do it by setting it up as WDS but I understand this is not suitable for a "n" network.
    Thx.

    Under the wireless settings for the TIme Capsule, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet port on the Express is automatically enabled in this type of configuration and the AirPort Express will also provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
    See Apple's instructions in the link below. The iilustration shown in the support document shows an AirPort Extreme as the extending device, but the setup for the AirPort Express would be exactly the same

  • I have a iMac g4 swivel and it seems that the ethernet port and the optical drive are not working.

    Is there any troubleshooting I can try, short of replacing everything?
    I really love this version of the iMac and want to use it in place of my eMac for some home business inventory and printing work.
    I need the ethernet to work because the printer can only connect that way.  It's a great laserjet from HP (1998 version) and it works like a champ.
    As for the disc drive... I would love to install office or iwork but as I said nothing seems to mount.  I also can't upgrade it to Tiger.  It's running Panther and I can live with that I suppose.
    I have wondered if I could exchange parts from the eMac (Motherboard, Optical Drive, Hard Drive) since  its bulkyness takes up so much room.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    And yes I have a modern macbook pro as well.

    You can use the dvd drive on your macbook via target disk  mode.

    1) Do you have a router?  Do you communicate to the internet via wifi?
    connect the printer to a router with an ethernet port. This will be an input eithernet port.
    You may need to change ip addresses on your printer or on your network.
    2) usb to ethernet dongle

    verify that the dongle will work on your machine.  Any drivers needed?
    3) You can firewire to for TCP/IP ( ethernet) to comunicate between macs.  Connect your printer to your macbook. Use firewire to communicate between macs.  Enable printer sharing.

  • Airport express connected to my existing network - Can I connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port?

    Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
    I'm trying to connect my A/V Receiver in another room to my network without having to run a CAT5 cable all the way to the router.  I'd rather be able to connect it to my airport express if it will work that way.

    Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
    Yes.....IF
    You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" version configured to "join a wireless network" and you have enabled the option to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
    Or
    You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" configured to "extend a wireless network" from another Apple "n" router, in which case the Ethernet port is enabled by default

  • Can't enable the ethernet socket on my Airport Express; Help!!

    Am I correct in assuming that I can plug a non-wireless enabled laptop into my Airport Express Ethernet port and access my home wi-fi network?
    I have a new(ish) Airport Extreme which is plugged into my Siemens Gigaet SE587 router. At the moment I use my old Airport Express to play stream iTunes into another room. We've just bought a disturbingly large TV which is internet enabled and was hoping to plug it into the Airport Express. Before doing this I disabled the AirPort on my laptop and plugged an ethernet cable into the Express expecting it to pick up the internet. It didn't!
    I've spent the last few hours playing with the Airport Utility and reading posts on this forum; one suggested selecting an "enable ethernet" box in Airport Utility but I have no such option.
    Can anyone help??

    I've spent the last few hours playing with the Airport Utility and reading posts on this forum; one suggested selecting an "enable ethernet" box in Airport Utility but I have no such option.
    You need the 802.11n version of the AirPort Express to do what you want. Look on the side of your device for the Model No in the faint print. You'll need Model No A 1264 to do what you want. It sounds like you have A 1088.

  • Can the number of ethernet ports be increased from 3?

    Clearly I know that we cant weld another port onto the airport extreme but, I have 5 devices I need to run through the wireless network and the box only has 3. Is there any way to increase this number with perhaps a splitter or some add on device? All 5 will never be active at the same time but, the thought of having to go behind the port daily and swap out cables is not an option. THX

    Will the ports enabled by this product also be capable of "n" speeds if I purchase the new N router?
    Sounds like you got wireless and wired a bit mixed up. The Ethernet (wired) ports on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) are rated at 10/100 Mbps. The AEBS's wireless is 802.11a/b/g/(pre-n)-compliant...meaning that theoretically it can handle speeds from 11 Mbps to 540 Mbps.
    Adding an Ethernet switch to one of the AEBS's 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, will only provide 10/100 Mbps throughput, not 802.11n speeds.
    Anything that is a little more aesthetically pleasing than that big blue box? Anyone else make such a device?
    Linksys has several other models, as well as, Belkin, D-Link, & Netgear (to name a few).

  • Is the Airport express Ethernet port input only?

    I am thinking of the airport express to stream audio now that the iPad supports airplay, but am wondering if the ethernet port is useful. I think that the Airport can connect to my existing wifi, and I have the audio interface, so far so good! But I also have a gaming adapter that takes the wifi signal and outputs it through an ethernet cable to my DVR, I am wondering if I can redeploy the gaming adapter

    If you configure current model the AirPort Express to "join" a wireless network for AirTunes/AirPlay, you can also enable the ethernet port if you wish so an ethernet device can connect. If you need more than one ethernet port for devices, you can attach an ethernet switch to the Express.

  • How to create a bridge between the two given GB Ethernet ports.

    Hi,
    I have a MAC Pro in my test set up. is there any way to create a bridge in between the two given Gigabyte ports and control the bandwidth for the device connected to Ethernet-2 while getting the internet connection from Ethernet-1.

    I believe you can manually set the bit rate for the second Ethernet port when it is operating as Ethernet Sharing (essentially turning that port into a limited Router).
    There are no standard tools in Mac OS X for inspecting the packets there, but there may be tools available for networking developers/troubleshooters to do that.
    When that feature is enabled, the port appears from your Mac to have a "self-assigned" IP Address -- a semi random Address in the 169.254.xxx.yyy range. From the connected devices, it will appear to have a legitimate private Router Address, often 192.168.1.1

  • Nexus 7009 does not show the N7K-F248XP-25 modules ethernet ports n sh run

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question...
    I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25  modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the Ethernet ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see that the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?

    You can enable F1, F2, M1, M1XL and M2XL Series modules. There are no restrictions on the type of mix allowed for the system module-type command. The system module-type command allows a mix of F1, F2, M1, M1XL, and M2XL Series modules in the VDC.
    Note The limit-resource module-type command controls the restrictions on the module-types that can be mixed in the VDC.
    Note Use the system module-type f2 command to allow F2E Series modules into a VDC. The ports from F2 and F2E Series modules can be allocated like any other ports.
    Note The modules that you do not enable must not be powered on after you configure this feature and enter yes. An error message will force you to manually disable these modules before proceeding. This prevents major disruption and service issues within a VDC.
    The no form of this command resets the configuration mode to allow all modules.
    hope this helps
