Ethernet speed at router is 15 versus ethernet speed at modem of 108
Speed test at router via ethernet cable (not wireless) is 15 versus 108 at modem. Wireless also 15. Do not understand what is blocking the 108. Please help.
Disable any media prioritizatoin or QoS on the router as test again...

Do I connect Apple TV ethernet cable to modem or wifi router?
Hello
I'm trying to find out what exactly Apple TV connects to when using an ethernet cable (instead of wifi): the internet modem or the wifi router connected to that modem? I can't find a clear answer to that question.
My wifi router (airport express) is connected to one of my modem ports with an ethernet cable (obviously).
- Can I connect my Apple TV to my modem similarly into one of my other free ports on my modem?
- Do I loose of the Apple TV features when I do that, or can I still stream my MabookPro or iPhone to my tv through Apple TV (does it have it's own wifi reception)?
Hope someone can give me some insight into that.
Thanks!
ChrisConnect it to your router. It's likely that your modem is also acting as a router (most ISP modems do this), so you effectively have two networks - but you want all your devices connected to the same network (the one that your wifi is created from, i.e. the router).
The AppleTV can connect wired or wireless, but if it's within cable distance of your router, it's always better to connect with a cable.

A query about Time Capsule, Ethernet, and DSL modems...
When I originally set up my modem, I used the network assistant and it seemed to "auto-connect", where the assistant tells you that your ISP "may allow you" etc. This was done with the ethernet cable as Modem to Macbook Pro. Then when I purchased a TC, I simply connected the ethernet cable to the TC and let Airport Utility set up a wireless network.
All was fine, until I was trying to ensure my security was half-decent. I changed a few settings in the TC, and then spent an afternoon trying to get my MBP to "see" the wireless network. I got that managed as well.
What's confusing me is this, and I hope someone can help me and explain it like I'm a 5-year-old.
1. In speaking with the ISP tech support, they seemed pretty sure I had to enter specific DCHP, DNS, etc. values in their fields, yet with the network assistant, it seemed to do this not only on its own, but with different values (numbers) then the one tech support told me to use, including an assigned "public" 192 IP address.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
3. My ethernet IP address (System preferences/Network) is different from my Airport IP address. Is this normal?
4. Strangely, when I connect another ethernet cable from the TC ethernet out port to the MBP (I was attempting a quicker Time Machine incremental back up), and turned Airport off (as an experiment), I still have internet connectivity. I thought TC ethernet out to MBP would only be for disk data transfer. Is this normal? If I have Airport "ON", would that cable then only be used for data transfer?
5. I have the TC in Bridge Mode, with Access Control to "Not Enabled". I originally had my MBP and iPod Touch MAC addresses added to Access Control, until I read that this doesn't really help with security. As it stands now, I increased my WPA2 password from an easy to remember one to a random 25 character one. Basically, I am hoping someone can tell me the settings I should use (with detail) to make both the network settings AND the wireless network as safe as possible without having a computer science degree.
Additional information: I only use my MBP and iPod Touch, and the wireless network is only for my use. No guests whatsoever. I do have a usb printer connected to the TC. The modem has a wireless "WLAN" feature which I have turned off since I have the TC. For my email accounts, I have the correct ports entered, as far as I can tell and as far as I've been told by those providers. I occasionally use Acquisition (not sure how safe it is security wise), and I'm often online playing Call of Duty 4 (wirelessly). I think that all I can think of that's important.
I really appreciate everyone's comments and guidance.4.

Whichever connection is toward the top of the list in System Preferences-> Network preference pane is the one which will be used.

WPA2 with a long non-dictionary password is the best wireless security.
2. Moreover, the ISP told me I should use PPPoE, yet the network assistant seemed just fine with Ethernet and DCHP.
If your ISP uses PPPoE for Internet connections, the device connecting directly to the DSL modem should be configured to use PPPoE.

Yes -
I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme. Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
Excellent plan.
Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

Motorola - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem - Silver
can you use a Motorola - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem - Silver and a router instead of the modem/router that they provide?
I'm not sure if you're asking about DSL or FiOS service.
DSL service requires a DSL modem, not a DOCSIS modem.
FiOS does not use modems, just routers. FiOS routers do have a MoCA (coax) port to talk to the ONT and set-top-boxes. You can use non-Verizon routers with FiOS, but it requires an Ethernet connection from the ONT instead of MoCA. If FiOS TV is used, a Verizon router must be in the mix.
So, the short answer is there is no Verizon service that uses DOCSIS. Cable-modems are not used with Verizon services.
Good Luck.

How do I use Time Capsule as a wireless router and turn my current one into modem only
I have a crappy modem/ router and before I purchase a new modem I want to use the modem (no wireless) feature of my router.
Question #1
How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
Question #2
If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
Question #3
How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
Question #4
I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
the main WIFi in my house. I am assuming this is possible it is I just dont know how to go about doing this myslef without guidance, and the Airport Installer is confusing to me.
Thanks!Question #1
How do I use my Time Capsule as a router?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/router to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network". Select the "Bridge Mode" option when it appears during the setup. (AirPort Utility will normally do this for you)
Question #2
If I do this will I still be able to wirelessly back up to my Time Capsule?
Yes
Question #3
How do I turn off (wireless) or the router function of my modem/ router?
We prefer not to guess at things, but since we do not know the make and model number of your modem/router, and this is an Apple support area, we have little choice.
In general, you would enter the default IP address of the device into your browser to bring up the configuration pages (check your documentatio on the modem/router for this information, or it may be on the back or bottom of the device. An example of a default IP address is something like 192.168.1.254
There will be a wireless settings page that will allow you turn off the wireless function of the device.
If you acquired the modem/router from your service provider, they should be able to tell you how to do this as well, or if you check the manufacturer's website, they will likely have a support area for questions like this.
Question #4
I then want to connect all my wireless devices to my Time Capsule making that
the main WIFi in my house.
You will need to log on to the Time Capsule wireless network from each device and enter the password to connect. Most computers will "remember" the setting so that you do not have to enter the password each time that you connect. -

Hello rush freak and welcome to Apple Discussions.
No prob just use Ethernet like the PC check:

I just bought a airport wireless route and I have a time warner modem. My problem is my modem is not connecting to my apple airport router. What do I need to do?
Power cycle the cable modem.. you may try leaving it off 5min.. might be enough.. sometimes you need 15min or even longer.. Followed by power cycle of the AE.
Nothing else should be connected to the modem.. except the router that will get the public IP as they only hand out ONE> -
Ethernet speeds from modem to Airport
Hey guys,
My current modem/router is a Belkin with 10/100 Ethernet. But I am considering an Airport extreme/Time Capsule for it's GigE ports, Easy Hard Drive Sharing, and Setup, plus all the other selling points.
But I will need a new modem to go with that an Airport/Time Capsule. Or will I? The Belkin works fine - it's just on the slow side ethernet wise, and isn't great for hard drive sharing (1TB max drive size).
So my question's are:
1. If I use a Modem (Belkin, or a new one) with only a 10/100 Ethernet port, will that
- Make my wifi any slower?
- Make GigE connections to my Apple Router slower? (For internet, but also for streaming, NAS drives etc).
2. Can anyone recommend a good modem to use with airport? (Preferably with GigE)
3. If I use my Belkin router (Theoretical 300mbps, but seems to be 54mbps actual), and Airport extreme (Which I assume performs better) on the same network:
- Will my network perform at "Belkin" or "Apple" speeds?
- Will the Airport just Extend the network? Or will it be the main router on the network? (The APE is newer, and if I could turn off the Belkins routing, I would.)
- Are there any technical/compatibility issues I should be aware of?
4. Can anyone recommend other routers I could look into with similar/better features? For me to pick it over the Apple products, it would have to have some or all of these:
- 1 More Ethernet port,
- Faster wifi (450mbps)
- Built in modem
- USB 3 port
- A MUCH lower price point (Don't care about $20 or $30, but if I could get a great router for $100 less...)
It MUST have a USB port for network storage, with no (Or very high) limitations on drive size (My Belkin only supports drives up to 1TB), GigE, and preferably easy setup, and the ability to pasword protect folders on attached Hard Drives would be awesome.
5. Any inside info on an updated Airport soon? The Gen 5's are 15 months old now.
Cheers!Hi ,
This is my first reply and I am tempted to reply to to you because I recently bought Airport Express and put in some effort setting it up.
1) I don't thing modem will be a bottleneck in your internet speed. Just use the ethernet port of belkin router and connect it to Airpot using a ethernet cable.
2) If you connect Airport to Belkin Router and configure it to bridge mode, it would just act as a modem and not wifi or we can say Airport would use the modem functionality of the Belkin router.
Hope it helps!
Thanks

TC in Bridge Mode with ISP router vs TC as Ethernet with VDSL modem
Hi, I have a time capsule. It's the newest generation of the old shape/design - i.e second to newest version. It's running 7.6.4. firmware.
I recently updgraded my ISP to Fibre VDSL and the ISP sent me a crappy router with a built-in modem that you have to use. I checked the ISP support forums and found plenty of advice to configure the TC over ethernet with this router using the DMZ of the router etc. Anyway, I got it all working but i wasn't happy. port forwarding was a pain and you end up with double NAT issue - not surprising.
The alternative config was to switch the TC to 'bridge mode' so the crappy ISP router does the NAT / DHCP, port forwarding, dpnp, internet routing. I got this all working and i have made sure that all of my network nodes/clients (wired and wifi) are all off the TC and only use the ISP router for internet, dhcp etc. This is all working with good speeds, solid internet access but...
Major issues with airplay (use this a lot) and also with stuff like facetime etc. The connection is much faster (40mbps down/10mbps up) than my old ASDL setup but as I said, key services that I use are not as stable.
I think my only alternative solution is to buy a VDSL modem seperately and use the TC as the router i.e. go back to my old config with TC doing all the routing, port forwarding etc.
Does anyone here have a view as to whether this is worth trying? I'm hoping that it if the TC is doing all the routing, I will get less drop outs and services will work as they should. On the other hand, I hoped airplay would be OK as it's a wifi/Lan service rather than WAN but I have had quite a few issues.
Appreciate any help with this and sorry for the lengthy note!
Jata.In theory, you will do better by using a simple bridge mode modem and then setting up the Time Capsule as the router to provide DHCP and NAT services.
But, as you might imagine, it is not possible to predict whether your results will actually be better using this type of setup.
Worth a try, in my opinion, if you can find a store that will let you return the modem for credit if it does not do what you want.
Even a simple modem will still likely have to be configured to operate in bridge mode, but the setup should only take a few minutes using the web based configuration interface.
Let us know how things are working if you can, if you decide to the try the simple modem approach. -
Hi
I'd like to buy a very old Apple modem which was build especially for the french provider, France Télécom: it was called the Djinn
I want to connect my SE/30 to the internet and go on webpages (using Macweb for example) and I don't want to use a Maccon card for it.
I thought the only solution was to buy an Asanté Mini EN/SC or the like to connect a RJ45 (i.e. ethernet) to the SCSI port of the Mac.
But I've never ever thought of buying a period modem. It works at 14 400 bauds and it only has a RJ11 connector.
My problem:
Can I buy/build a converter (i know this is digital vs analog hence the difficulty) that would go from my router (an old Netgear) through a RJ45 to the RJ11 port on the Apple Modem?
I know I could get internet directly from the modem if I plug it on my wall telephone socket, but you have to pay for internet afterwards, I don't want that.
I know I shouldn't post this here, this is the forum for modern apple computers but since it is still a problem for any modern computer, I guess someone may have a clue on this. BTW, I am a complete novice, and please forgive me if I mix things up.
Thanks
LDLD,
1. The AirPort Extreme Base Station was first introduced in January 2003. Model No. A1034 with a built-in modem could connect to an ISP (dial-up) through the telephone lines, and thereby let local computers access the Internet (via a LAN or Wi-Fi).
Even more interesting is that there was an option under the Network tab in the then AirPort Admin Utility to Enable PPP Dial-in instead. That option was used to dial in from a remote computer (with a modem). The Internet service in this case was connected via a DSL or cable modem to the WAN port of the base station. The remote computer dialling in could that way gain access to the Internet.
As I see it, this may open some additional possibilities for you. Let us look upon your SE/30 (with a 14.4 kbps serial modem, TCP/IP software, an appropriate PPP connection program and a web browser) as the remote computer. Let us assume that you build a simple line simulator (usually, but not always, needed) and connect the 14.4 kbps modem to the RJ-11 modem port of an A1034 AirPort Extreme Base Station (configured to allow PPP dial-in). Let us also assume that one can find a way to make the base station modem answer an incoming "call" without the need for a normal ring signal. Then one should be able to access the Internet using an SE/30 (I should add that I have not tested this dial-in setup).
So, if you could locate an A1034 base station with a built-in modem (and the software), you may want to carry out a few experiments.
2. In my previous message, I mentioned a local dial-in PPP server. You should be able to find several such server solutions under Linux. However, the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ta26253 also appears to indicate that a Mac OS 9 computer with a full installation could be of interest.

Basic home network setup troubles: Airport, ethernet, and cable modem
Hi,
Having only just subscribed to a cable broadband service we're experiencing some troubles setting up a mixed-mode home network and I'm wondering whether we've got some of the very basics messed-up.
What we have is:
1. Recent version (white) ibook, with airport, running 10.4.7;
2. Old G4 PowerPC (450MHz I think) running 10.4.7 ... airport card available;
3. Old powerbook (?Lombard) running 10.2.8 ... no airport;
4. A PC running Windows XP (not that important to have this in the network though) with no wireless;
5. A 3com SuperStack 1100 switch;
6. A cable modem;
7. A Linksys BEFSX41 Etherfast Cable/DSL Router ... 4 ethernet switch ports;
8. An airport express base station;
9. An HP laser printer connected into the ethernet LAN.
We'd like to keep both our wireless and ethernet networks running with all computers able to access one another, print to the laser printer, and access the broadband (fixed IP address) account. We're not (yet) conderned with hosting websites from our home computers.
I'm unsure of how we should configure this system. Do I connect the airport base station to the switch (which is what we presently have) or into the router? Do I connect each of the hardwired PCs (and the printer) into the switch
and then the switch to the router via single conenction?
If we use DHCP to access the router have I got the potential for the router and the airport base station to interfere with one another?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've pulled a few TCP/IP setup-for-idiots books from our local library but this specific situation doesn't seem to be well covered.
Cheers
DougalYou probably have a few options here that will work. Considering the number of wired devices, I would suggest the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Internet port] BEFSX41 [LAN_1] > (Ethernet cable) > SuperStack switch > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] AirPort Express Base Station (AX) > (wireless) > wireless clients, AND
SuperStack switch > (Ethernet cable) > wired clients
Then setup the AX as a bridge, as follows:
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.
- Wait at least 5 minutes. -

Mac ethernet base station modem/dial up -- how to say "Connect"?
I'm sure I've read somewhere, possibly in the extreme base station manual, that it's possible to connect a computer to the internet that's connected to the base station via Ethernet using the base station's modem. That is:
mac without AP card > ethernet > extreme base station > modem/dial up > the internet
I've set up the base station using the Setup Assistant using the computer that doesn't have an AP card, so therefore via Ethernet, successfully, setting up the dial up aspect OK: With another Mac that has an AP card, in the AP status menu there's "Connect" and that works. But how can I connect from the Mac without an AP card over Ethernet using the dial up modem? There's nowhere to say "Connect".
Any ideas?
Cheers,
JohnThanks for that. Yes that does it. I take it there is no Apple software (especially a status menu icon) way to do it then? Not supported by Apple that is. Oh well this is a temperory thing connecting using the modem so not worth worrying about too much I suppose.
Thanks.

Setting a E4200 as primary router for Uverse (Making the Gateway a modem)
So we just received Uverse a week ago, and we switched from Comcast. For Comcast, it was simple enough if you wanted to change routers, as the modem was separate when provided by Comcast. As a result, I really do not have a lot of knowledge with AT&T's configuration of hardware.
So my goal for today was to turn the Uverse provided 3801HGV Gateway into a simple modem, and set up a Linksys E4200 as the primary router. I assume that this is the best setup speed and bandwidth wise for high bandwidth applications like gaming and streaming (Compared to having the Gateway allocate IP addressing and firewalls).
So my steps were as followed:
Dynamic IP - DHCP is already enabled for the gateway.
1) Hooked up laptop to Gateway through ethernet cable, and turn off wireless interface (transmission) here:http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_2_1.
2) Disconnected ethernet cable from computer and gateway.
3) Connected ethernet cable from a LAN port on the gateway to the broadband WLAN main port on the router. Hooked up another ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router to my laptop.
4) Installed and configured router through provided CD (DHCP was enabled by default) (Firmware is latest)
5) Accessed the gateways settings through computer, went to "firewall, pinholes, dmz" setting (http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_3_1), and changed the router's specific firewall access to DMZplus.
6) Reset Router.
After I did all of these steps, the internet worked like a charm. I didn't test speed or play any online games to check latency, but browsing seemed normal.
However, after browsing the routers settings for a bit, I noticed NAT was enabled. I turned this off, seeing that in my previous Comcast setup it was just an inconvenience for gaming (xbox).
The result of this after a reboot was complete loss of internet from LAN and WLAN (but I could still access router and gateway settings (just because of the ethernet cable I assume)). Chrome gave me DNS errors every time I tried a website. I renabled NAT and rebooted, and it still gave me DNS errors. I rebooted the router multiple times, and unplugged it, and it still would not connect to the internet. I later learned that DMZ or some other firewall setting in the gateway required NAT, so it seemed as though I messed up something indirectly, even after enabling NAT again.
I tried multiple factory resets of the router, and cleared the device list under diagnostics in the Gateway's settings. However, the gateway still showed the router under devices after the multiple device wipes for some reason (I disconnected the router from the gateway too). After I reset the router through the pinhoel button on the back, I tryed to install and configure the router again through the CD, but it got stuck at 90 percent and an error accuired. I tryed this multiple times. Now I can not even access the routers settings.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than ask AT&T and/or Linksys on what to do.
I spent hours trying to get this to work. Can anyone help me out?
What should I do from here? If I get this working again, what should be my router's and gateway's settings?Check out the second post in this forum. If you still have any issues with the gateway, you would be better off asking them, but feel free to ask us also . http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV-bridge-mode-or-anoth...
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.
