Help needed with router setup. Bigpond wireless gateway and Airport Express

Now I know this is probably more a router question but it is to help my iPad wifi so heres what I have.
ADSL2+ line in
Bigponds Thomson TG782T Modem/router which is /b/g
Airport Express /b/g/n
I am trying to set it up for maximum speed so basically I am trying to take advantage of the AE's /n.
I was hoping to use the Thomson as just a modem and use the AE as the router. Please correct me if this isnt the 'best way of doing it'. Can someone savvy give me a few pointers, would be greatly appreciated. cheers

This screen is where you disable the Wireless Access Point. (ignore the red arrows - they aren't mine)
Uncheck *Interface Enabled* at top.
@Chris........ Thanks for that..... yes I disable it. So much for Bigpond telling me it couldnt be turned off. I have the system up and running /n 5ghz multicast 5.5. iPad not fluctuating signal strength as much and loading a bit quicker. I think turning off the 2.4 running on the Thomson made a difference when running from the AES at 2.4 but much better with Thomson off and AES on 5ghz. So all up I am doing better thank you.

  • Connecting wireless modem and airport express

    I currently run internet with an old Motoirola Sideboard cable modem and Airport Express - previous version. All runs well. Now my Optus provider has upgraded my service with a Premium account for higher speed. They have also given me a free wi fi Cisco modem - DPQ3925. How can I replace my old Motorola modem and still maintain Air play etc with my new modem using Airport Express. I need to know exactly wire per wire help - please, if possible - Thanks
    Mac

    Hi - I have a similar issue.
    I have a new macbook pro, ATV (3rd Gen) and AXn (purely for Airplay of itunes).
    All three are wirelessly connected to my HG556a Huawei WiFi Router.
    The Macbook pro and ATV work fine and can see each other for airplay mirroring and itunes.
    The AX connects and comes up in Airport Utility (AU) and itunes shortly after you turn it on, but if you either dont use it or stop using it and switch to ATV or whatever it dissapears from itunes and AU says it cant find it. Randomly the light on the AX stays green the whole time.
    I have to switch the AX off and on to get it back working again (i.e. itunes and AU can see it).
    Following other forum posts I've set the AX up by hard connecting it to my router, setting a static iP and reserving ports 5353 and 3689 to that address. I've also turned off ipv6 or whatever using the networksettings Terminal code string. I have also repaired permissions with disk utility!
    It still dissapears from available options in iTunes and AU. ideas?

  • Extending Network With Skh HD, Time Capsule 1TB and Airport Express

    Hi,
    I'm struggling to achieve what I thought to be an easy setup process.
    *What I want to achieve?:*
    * Ground Floor - Sky HD Router with Sky Wireless Network & Time Capsule 1 TB(choice to connect Time Capsule by either WAN Ethernet or over wi-fi?)
    * First Floor - IMac and MacMini connected wirelessly, along with Airport Express to extend wireless network
    * Loft - Apple TV connected to Cinema setup, with need to be able to connect to Sky HD Wireless network
    Note/Problenms: It doesn't appear to be possible to extend the Sky HD Wireless Network via Time Capsule using the wireless option? Error reads "not able to extend wireless network etc...". Secondly, as a result the WiFi signal in the Loft for the Apple TV HD is 50% approx. The download speeds for movies etc is also sufficiently slow that repeat buffering is required. Not ideal.
    *Current Setup:*
    * Ground Floor - TC connected to Sky HD Router via WAN Ethernet cable. Creating New Network, named exactly the same as the original Sky HD Wireless Network e.g. "SKY08323"
    * First Floor - IMac and MacMini connected wirelessly to SKY08323 network. Airport Express connected wirelessly to same network.
    *Possible Enhancement?*
    I've tried a couple of times to extend the range of the Wireless network. I First tried to do this as explained by extending the Sky HD Router network wirelessly (not possible it seems). I then connected via Wan Ethernet and setup TC and AirPort Express to interact over a WDS. TC = Main Base Station and AirPort Express = Relay Station. This seemed to setup ok but once both were restarted both TC and AE were flashing Amber and AE was no longer visible in Airport Utility.
    If someone would be kind enough just to outline a step by step approach for setting up my Sky Network and being able to extend it via TC and AE, then I would be really grateful.
    Many thanks and Happy New Year!

    If someone would be kind enough just to outline a step by step approach for setting up my Sky Network and being able to extend it via TC and AE, then I would be really grateful.
    As you have surmised, you will NOT be able to extend the wireless range of your Sky HD Router with the Time Capsule (TC) ... at least not wirelessly.
    You basically have two options: 1) Run Ethernet between the ground floor and the loft, or 2) Consider deploying Powerline adapters. These adapters take advantage of your home's electrical circuit to create a pseudo Ethernet one.
    In either case, the two routers would be interconnected by Ethernet and the TC could be place in the loft. You would then reconfigure the TC as a bridge to allow the Sky router to continue to provide both the NAT & DHCP services for all network clients regardless of which router they are connected to. In addition, you would configure the TC to use the same Network Name & wireless security type so that, for example, you could roam with a wireless laptop between floors and still be on the "same" network.

  • Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

    Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
    I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks, and Happy New Year!

  • Help needed setting up WebUI for Wireless Gateway

    I have a problem setting up a webUI for my demo project.
    I am just doing a simple WSN application measuring temperature on a WSN-3121 thermocouple node, and logging it on a wireless RT gateway NI 9792.
    Then I wanted to create a web UI for it, and display whats in the gateway's UI - see project.
    SO I'm coming up stuck with the web UI.  I've tried reading as much as I can but I still dont know what I'm doing wrong.
    As far as I can see, I need to create a web service in the build specs for my gateway, and place the gateway_main.vi as the vi to use.  Then build it, and deploy it.  Once that has happened and I run the vi on the gateway, I created a webUI as shown in the pic, where it imports the web service from the gateway using 192.168.0.16:8080 - that works fine.
    When I run the webUI, it just sits there and times out.
    I am using LAbview 2010.  Please help.
    Solved!

    Hello markza,
    Your approach to using Web UI Builder and understanding its use case is exactly right, the issue lies in the web service you have deployed. The VI you are building as a web service, i.e. gateway_main.vi, has while loops in it and hence cannot be used as a web service. The reason for the timeout is that your UI Builder app is calling the LV2010 web service and is getting stuck there waiting for the while loops to complete. Also, the cluster datatype is not supported in Web UI Builder so you would have to break up the Wireless Node Sampling Time input into two separate numeric inputs.
    I would recommend creating a subVI out of your code inside the inner while loop in gateway_main.vi. This subVI should have two numeric inputs to replace the cluster (as mentioned above) and not have either of the Start or Stop boolean inputs. Outputs would stay the same i.e. two doubles and a boolean.
    Let me know if that helps you and if you have any further questions.
    Thanks!

  • Help needed with AEBS setup.

    I have an existing Buffalo G router (wireless turned off) connected to a DSL modem. How would I set up a dual band AEBS which will be wired to the Buffalo router to provide internet access and gigabit network to wired and wireless clients? Thanks.

    With the AEBS configured as a bridge, the Buffalo will be the "main" router on your network as it would be providing both the NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    However, you can certainly configure the AEBS as the "main" wireless router to provide the wireless network to meet your needs.

  • Help needed with Mail (Version 3.6 (936)) and iCloud

    Hello, I‘ve got problems with synchronizing my emails with Mail (Version 3.6 (936)) and iCloud. I started to synchronize my iPhone 5 and iMac at work OS X 10.8. On my Power Mac at home I only receive older mails (latest is from 04/25 this year) and sometimes the same mail 7 times. When i try to quit Mail it doesn‘t work and I've to use the shortcut: +alt+shift+esc.
    I think that my Mail-Version doesn‘t work together with iCloud but perhaps there‘s a possibility to fix this problem with a trick.
    Thanks for your help
    Best regards
    Stefan

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade to at least Lion OS 10.7, which is not possible on a PPC Mac like yours.

  • Wireless Modem and Airport Express USB Printer

    I am already connected to the internet via a wireless modem provided by my ISP. The connection uses Airport. I just purchased an Airport Express to connect my computer to a printer through the USB port. However, I can't get the airport utility to connect to the Airport Express solely for the purpose of connecting to the printer. I have tried to make the new aiport express both a new network and part of an existing wireless network with no sucess. I sitll have a flashing yellow light on my Airport Express. I have not connected the wireless modem to the Airport Express. Do I have to connect the airport express to the modem? Help!

    Hi Andrew Otis:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You'll need to configure your AE via the Airport Admin Utility to Join an Existing Wireless Network, then select the name of your network in the drop down box or enter it EXACTLY as the SSID is broadcasting your network Name. You may also have to configure wireless security if you wireless modem has that enabled.
    I hope this helps!

  • Airtunes, Wireless Speakers and Airport Express:  A Reality?

    Hi all,
    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station that I use to wirelessly connect my iMac and pc to the internet and a common printer. Last week, I purchased the Airport Express (AE) to allow for me to play the music from my iTunes library (on the iMac) on some speakers in my backyard during a party. I wound up purchasing some decent computer speakers and connected them to the AE vis-a-vis a 3.5mm stero jack.
    Ideally, I want to purchase some really good, wireless outdoor speakers, but I do not know how I would be able to utilize the AE in conjunction with a wireless speaker system. Again, my understanding is that a 3.5 mm stereo jack connecting the speakers to the AE is required to enable Airtunes to play via the AE.
    Can anyone suggest a way that I can get Airtunes to play through the AE over wireless speakers without the stereo jack? Are there any wireless speakers that include a subwoofer that would connect to the AE via the 3.5mm stereo jack and then transmit to the speakers via bluetooth?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    ^^ Thanks, Duane. But how about a situation where the wireless speakers are equipped with a receiver: theoretically, could I attach the receiver to the AE via the 3.5 mm stereo jack and then place the wireless speakers anywhere I desired (within the range of the receiver, of course)?

  • Belkin wireless modem and Airport Express lan problems

    Let me preface my problem by stating the obvious - I'm not very technically proficient!
    That said, I've had an AirPort Express wireless lan connecting three computers on my home/office network for the past 8 months without any problems at all. All machines on the network have been able to access the internet via a Thomson SpeedTouch 530 ADSL1 modem that connects via an ethernet cable to the AirPort Express. No problems.
    The network consists of my G5 iMac (ALS), my husband's Mac mini and my Sony VAIO laptop (XP Pro SP2).
    I should also mention that half-way between my office and my husband's office there is a second AirPort Express that 'boosts' the signal to his office.
    I recently changed ISPs to a provider that offers the faster ADSL2+ service. This meant that I had to get a new Belkin ADSL2+ modem. This is my problem. I cannot connect my AirPort Express network to the internet using the Belkin modem. The Belkin modem connects without any problem if I just have it connected via ethernet to my iMac but that's not what I want to do.
    My existing AirPort details are -
    IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.3
    Router 10.0.1.1 (this is the SpeedTouch 530 modem)
    Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    I thought I could change the new modem's address(?terminology?) from 10.1.1.1 (which is how it came) to 10.0.1.3 and that everything would work but it doesn't.
    Belkin tech support said 'the problem is with your AirPort Express' (what else would they say)?
    Do I have to keep the 10.1.1.1 and change my AirPort addresses? Or should I try to set up a new network?

  • Itunes, wireless networking and Airport Express

    Hi,
    I currently have an AEBS and I am considering getting an Express to extend my network and stream iTunes to my stereo. My network is wireless for my Laptop and hardwired into my two desktops.
    I know that I can set up Airtunes, but sitting near my stereo is a small hub (thats connected to my AEBS) that feeds media to my Xbox media centre. Can I connect my Airport Express to this hub via ethernet to receive iTunes then using the speaker cables feed music to my stereo or will it only work wirelessly in Airtunes mode?
    Also, can you extend the wirless network with your Express by having it wired into this hub then re transmitting the wireless signal or will wireless netwrk extending only work completely wirelessly?
    Thanks

    Hi Martin,
    what a co-incidence - i just bought an IMAC and also have the thought of archiving all my CD's (about 1000) on some kind of harddisc-server, and then be able to access this archive via my Imac (wirelessly), and stream the music to my Hifi system and feed it into my Digital/Analog Converter. Do you think the time capsule wld be ideal for the function of storing/archiving and streaming to the hifi system..? I guess I also need a seperate "Airport Express", as it has an optical- digital output into my Digital/Analog converter...
    Thanks for your thoughts and kind regards from Singapore !

  • Wireless printer and airport express

    I have an HP officejet 7410 "all in one" printer that use to connect to my Imac wirelessly just fine but now I have to connect it to the usb cable to get it to print. my family has 4 mac bookpro's also and its hit or miss whether or not they will print so would it be best for me to shut everything off, connect an airport express to my modem and then restart everything? I'm just tired of fooling with it and know there must be a better way? Thanks!

    You can connect your printer via USB to the USB port on an AirPort Express or Extreme and share them throughout your network.

  • Wireless Broadband and Airport Express

    Where I used to live I had ATT DSL and used my Airport Express to provide a wireless network and the use of my non-networked Samsung printer. My new address won't have DSL or Cable--but there is Verizon wireless broadband. Is there a way I can more or less duplicate what I had with the DSL and the Airport Express? I sure would like to be about to print without having to physically attach the USB printer cable to my MacBook? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hello,
    The idea behind the Cradlepoint CBA250 adapter (which I have not tested) is to create an Ethernet output from a USB (or ExpressCard) modem or a mobile phone. This combination would thus effectively replace a DSL modem that has been connected to a WAN port of a wireless base station. If your AirPort Express was used as a base station, and was working with a USB printer earlier (much like this), everything ought to be as before.
