How connect TC to a bridged router?

For the last 9 months, my TC has been connect to the Time Warner Cable issued modem/router. I had two networks, and not that good wireless strength, but the internet worked. So, today I decided to mess with it, and I called TWC and had them change their router to bridged mode. Ever since then, I have not been able to connect to the internet through the TC. I can connect directly to the modem, and everything works fine, but the airport utility shows no internet connection. What am I do wrong?

The TC has to be in router mode.. and you need to shut off the modem.. and the only device connected to the modem is the TC.. wan port.
The first device to connect is allocated the public ip and so you must have the TC capture the IP.
Do a full factory reset and start over.. that will put the TC back to correct router mode.

How to use time capsule as hard drive and connect with existing net gear router

I have a netgear D6300 router, which i use to connect to internet - which is excellent so far for my downloads and games etc for my PS4 and hence am keen to continue using it. I bought the Airport time capsule for wireless storage, and when i set it up, I was advised on setup to connect the TC to my router, and it did what it needed to do.
Now, in order to connect to internet, i need to connect wifi to net gear router, but to access time capsule, i need to change wifi connection to my newly created wifi network with TC.
I want to use TC as a backup storage for my mac (its a 3TB TC), but also, my laptop has only 500gb hard drive which is now half full from downloads, so i want to transfer all my downloads to my TC and use it as an external hard drive, and future downloads to TC - but when i connect to wifi of TC, i can copy my folder on my mac, but not paste it to TC in finder. (the only thing in TC is an image of tmg of my macbook from first backup.).
How do i use TC as an external HD - there wasn't much difference in price of external wifi/wireless HD between non-TC and TC at 3gb, so i just thought i'd go for the airport TC option.
And is it possible to keep connected to wifi internet via net gear router, AND wifi TC - the whole point i bought it (from US shipped to australia on eBay, therefore not able to send back) was to use TC as external large HD via wifi, but keep my net gear router going.
Surely there is a way to not having to flick between wifi connections of TC and net gear internet.
When i'm connected to TC, i can't access internet, only TC.
And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
This can't be a difficult situation to manage, but i'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks

And I don't really want to connect TC to my router via ethernet cable, as too many cables.
Sorry but you have very little choice.
The TC can join to a wireless network.. but it is flakey, poor, slow and highly NOT recommended way to do things.
Nevertheless if you want to give it a try .. here is the method.
How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
You SHOULD, plug the TC into the Netgear and run it in bridge mode.. you set the wireless to create a wireless network.. then when you connect to the TC it will be also connected to the internet and fast.
(if you don't do that you may as well have used a USB drive plugged into the Netgear, as it would be just as good).
TC is not actually designed for mixing Time Machine backups and files.. but if you are just storing downloads that is ok.. but I strongly recommend you use a DMG or sparsebundle to prevent the TM and the data from messing each other.

How to connect to external server using router from VLAN's

Hi, I am newbie. I am trying to build network system in Packet Tracer.
Now I have such network layout.
I have different VLAN's Accounting and Sales. I have configured this using subinterface in router to allow computers from different vlan's communicate with each other. Everything works.
Let's assume that there are next subnets and VLAN's. Acct. VLAN (2) (ip's 172.168.0.1-172.168.0.254/24) and Sales VLAN (4) (ip's 172.168.1.1-172.168.1.254/24).
But I need to connect all this computers to the external server. That has ip , for instance 192.168.20.13/24. Like this.
I don't know hot to correctly configure router to make it possible for computers to connect to this server. I have connected switch to the another router interface. And than connected server to the switch and specified ip 192.168.20.13/24. Than I tried to set ip to the router interface from the same subnet like 192.168.20.22/24. So now router can communicate with server.
But how to allow computers to communicate with the server. Please help. I am newbie.
I would be grateful for any help.

Hi Androgen,
One question for you..How does the sales VLAN computers communicate with the accounting VLAN machines? It's through the inter-VLAN routing that you have already setup.
Communicating to the external server is also similar to this.
The computer's in the VLAN should be configured with the default gateway IP which is the the L3 sub-interface IP for that subnet.
Also, the external server needs to have a default gateway to communicate with other remote subnet. The default gateway of that server would be 192.168.20.22 which is the L3 interface for your external subnet.

How do I determine if my router is Bridge Mode capable

I have a linksys WRT 54G router that I wish to have Bridge Mode capability. How can I determine if this router has that capability.
Linksys Article ID: 24583 describes the procedure to turn a unit that is bridge mode capable into bridge mode, but which numbered ports of the router have Bridge Mode capability.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

WRT's Linksys firmware doesn't support bridge mode. You will need use a 3rd part firmware like DD-WRT.

How can i use a second router to replace verizon fios router?

Okay so just as the title says how do i use a second router? I got a cisco valet router... I don't know how to use it because the verizon router/modem is wierd i know how to use a router if i only had a modem but fios gives router/modem so how can i use my 2nd router? The current verizon fios router/modem is b/g mode and i wanna change to b/g/n so i can get a better speed from my internet... SO how can i use my 2nd router? I tried this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking#12506 but i don't get it can someone guide me better or make a video explaination on how to use a 2nd router? I have it connected with see as in pic i connect from my router Internet port to wan port and the ethernet lan port to the ethernet lan port on verizon fios and no work please help...

OK, so with this, we have a few options. You appear to have a MoCa connection to the ONT, hence the coaxial cable being present.
1: The ActionTec can be bridged to the Valet router. This will not require any additional cabling, however it will require a small amount of work to have working. You will also require the ActionTec still in the mix, even though it will not be acting as a router anymore with this configuration.
Visit http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 and look at Option 4. There is a thread linked that will allow you to set up the ActionTec as just a MoCa bridge, and will pass the Public IP to your router. You will, in order for this to work once the ActionTec is bridged, need to connect the cable from your Valet router's Internet port, to the ActionTec's LAN port and nothing else goes to the ActionTec. From this point, your Valet should run as your primary and everything should connect through your Valet. If you are adding another router, a Netgear N300, you should perform the LAN to LAN setup, which we will talk about once you've got the Valet working correctly. LAN to LAN configs require a custom setup, so do not set up the Netgear for now.
2: This is my preferred method, which would be to run an Ethernet cable to the ONT. Option 6 in the FAQ. This will require spaking to Verizon to have them move your ONT to Ethernet, but once they do this, you can disconnect the Coaxial Cable from your ActionTec router, and plug in your CAT5/CAT6 cable from the ONT to the ActionTec's Internet/WAN port. Use the ActionTec to ensure everything is working after the switchover, and once off the phone, log into the ActionTec, perform a DHCP Release, and then prompty power off the ActionTec. Once this is done, plug the CAT6 cable into your Valet router's Internet port. You should from this point, be able to connect to the Cisco, and if the DHCP Lease was broken successfully, the Cisco should begin serving up your Internet connection. If it does not, leave the Cisco powered off for a few hours to break the DHCP lease, and then power it up. If the Valet does not work, still, give the Valet a factory reset and set up this router again, with the Ethernet cable from the ONT connected to it.
I would just take a good luck at the FAQ linked above again, and see what would work the best. Easiest thing to do is to get the ONT moved to Ethernet, which allows you to eliminate the ActionTec unless you need it in the future for TV service, and also allows you to use any router with ease.
Once the Valet is up and running and holds your Public IP address from Verizon (use http://whatismyip.com/ to determine this) , and also serves up IPs to devices on your network, post back and we can help you set up the Netgear. If you have any issues while setting this up, fall back to the ActionTec. It's factory reset will work without configuration needed, regardless of you being on Coax or Ethernet.

Using 2nd APXBS as bridge & router?

I already have one Airport Extreme Dual Band N in my house. But in my TV room, I have several wired ethernet devices. I'd like to connect them all to one router and wirelessly connect to my existing WiFi network.
Is this the right way to go? The only bridges I've seen are single port, which means I have to connect a router to it (or put a bridge on each device). Lots of extra wires and power bricks. No thanks.
If a second base station can be used like this, it would save a lot of space.

Welcome to the discussions!
+If a second base station can be used like this, it would save a lot of space.+
The "neatest way to do what you want would be to add another AirPort Extreme Dual Band (AEBS) "n" router and configure it to "extend a wireless network".
Setup this way, the second AEBS would provide even more wireless coverage in the area where it was located, and the ethernet ports are active in this type of configuration on the device so you could connect 3 ethernet devices.
+Is this the right way to go?+
Well, an ethernet connection is always faster and more stable than a wireless connection. There are going to be compromises with wireless, but it could work well for your purpose.
The second AEBS will need to be located where it can receive a good, strong wireless signal from your main router because your ethernet devices will be depending solely on a wireless connection to function correctly. If you are talking about downloading and streaming hi- definition video, gaming over the internet, etc, wireless may be "iffy".
Before you do anything, I suggest that you download a utility like iStumbler on you laptop. Position your laptop where the second AEBS would likely be located and take some signal strength and noise measurements at that location. If you don't see at least 50-60% signal strength with 10% or less noise, wireless may not provide the performance that you want.
I have a very good wireless signal at my house with multiple access points, but found that in order to download movies with DirectTVs On Demand service, I got much better results with a straight ethernet connection instead of wireless. DVD firmware updates run much quicker as well. But, your mileage may vary.
In that case, you will need to either run an ethernet cable to the other devices and install an ethernet switch at the location, or if running an ethernet cable is not possible, take a look at ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. Some adapters now include a built in switch so you can connect 3-4 devices neatly without adding an additional switch. Post back if you need more info on this option.
Might be a good idea to check with the store to understand their return policy in case things don't work as hoped. If you decide to try the second AEBS, please post back to let us know how things are working.

Wireless connection between D-Link WiFi router and Time capsule stopped working

We have an ISP provided D-Link wireless router (DIR-615) to which we wirelessly connected our 2Tb Time Capsule for back up and to connect a USB printer to out network. This worked perfectly for 3 1/2 years, until about a month ago, when the time capsule suddenly decided to go "off line". ie we could no longer access it or the printer via our wireless network. We had changed nothing - just one day it stopped working.
We tried to get it back online with no success. As the 2Tb Time Capsule was almost 7 years old and had had some HDD issues in the passed, we figured it had got old and died and that it was time to replace it; so we bought a new 3Tb Time Capsule, thinking this would get everything back to normal.
However much as we tried, we were also unable to get the new 3Tb Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the D-Link wireless router. The Airport Utility did not show the D-Link wireless router or its wireless network, although we were (and are) able to see it in Systems Preferences>Networks from all our multiple devises. This in itself seemed odd. No matter what we tried, the Airport Utility would not find the D-Link wireless router and hence we could not add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the existing wireless network.
At the end of the day we got fed up with trying to add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the D-Link wireless network, and connected it via a LAN cable to the D-Link router instead. We then set it up as its own network. Worked gerat. Having done that we thought maybe the old 2Tb Time Capsule might not have been the problem after all, so we tried extending our new 3Tb Time Capsule wireless network using the 2Tb Time Capsule wirelessly. This worked perfectly! And we are now almost back to what we wanted.
So although we have a work around, this means now have 2 separate wireless networks as opposed to the original single wireless network where everything talked to everything else.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the following:-
1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?

1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
A firmware update to the TC came along and you agreed to it without perhaps even noticing.. it then smashed your setup because Apple do not recommend the setup you were using and it is very poor.
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
Because it is such a poor setup that Apple have taken away your ability to choose it unless you know exactly what you are doing.
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?
Yes, this I can help you with.
I have several ways around the problem.. but the first one is.. why use the DIR-615 at all.. it is not a modem.. it is a very ordinary bottom end, poor single band slow wireless router.
Why don't you simply remove the DIR-615 from the network completely.. plug whatever it is the ISP supplies you.. an ethernet connection from whatever that modem is you mentioned into the WAN port of the Time Capsule. And use the TC in some router mode.. same as the DIR-615 was setup.. dhcp or pppoe or whatever.. I doubt the TC cannot match it.
If you have issues please post a few screenshots from the DIR-615 to show how it is setup from the WAN side.. and as long as you are given the username and password or whatever the ISP uses to authenticate then chuck out the DIR-615.
Tell me if that is a goer.. if not we can work out a few other methods..
eg. Simply turn off the wireless in the DIR-615. It is poor cf the TC and there is no need for it.. with the TC in bridge only use the TC for wireless as well as wireless extend with your old TC.
Or setup roaming network where everything uses the same SSID.
Then you will have one wireless network. And it won't matter what as long as it connects.. although IMHO this is not right as the TC is such a superior router now you are wasting your new TC.

How set up macbook pro Internet router?

how set up macbook pro Internet router?

But isn't the MacBook Pro connected to the modem and being used as the router? You can only share an Ethernet connection wirelessly. You only check the box to share the Ethernet connection to Wi-Fi. Do not check any of the other boxes. You select Ethernet from the dropdown menu as the connection you will share. Your preferences should look like this:
The only difference will be that yours will show just Ethernet, not Ethernet 1.

What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
Modem router, model, type of broadband?
TC setup as bridge or router?
Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
Are you using wireless or ethernet?
Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

Confused - best way to configure / connect AEBS to ADSL Modem/Router?

I currently have an ISP supplied Innacomm W3400V wireless modem / router that is poor at wifi. I've looked at several modem / routers to replace it with, such as the Linksys E4200, but have decided to give an Airport Extreme a try.
Now I've read a lot on the internet about POSSIBLE options for connecting the AEBS to the current modem (which I might replace as well) but what I can't seem to fathom is what is the BEST method in terms of performance, ease of management etc etc. As far as I can tell there's two main options:
1) Leave the modem router set up 'as is' (e.g. with the PPPoE settings and with it handling NAT and DHCP etc) but turn wireless network and security off, connecting the AEBS in Bridge mode. This seems to be the simplest way. Out of interest, the Innacomm has 4 ethernet ports, if I use this method, will I be able to to use the 3 ports on the AEBS and the 3 spare (given the AEBS will be connected to one of them)? Any problems / issues with using this configuration?
2) Switch the Innacomm into Bridge mode and turn off wireless, DHCP, NAT (anything else) and configure the AEBS with the PPPoE sign on details and DHCP ranges etc. Not sure what benefits there are to this, esp if I CAN still use the modem / router's 3 sparE LAN ports. Might be something I'm missing though?
At the moment I only need to improve wifi performance and hope the AEBS will do it. I'm just not entirely sure of the BEST way to set it up with my existing router (or even a replacement modem if I find it necessary to go that route.

Also, there's no benefit to be had by putting the original router into bridge mode and having the AEBS provide all the PPPoe, DHCP and NAT functionality (or would it in fact be worse)?
The only real reason to consider doing this is if you need the AEBS to provide both a "main" and "guest" network. Here, I am ssuming that you have a recent version of the AEBS.
In Bridge Mode, the AEBS can only provide a "main" network.
When the AEBS is configured to provide PPPoE, DHCP and NAT services, then the "guest" network feature is enabled if you need that functionality.

Multiple devices with a bridge/router?

I have an e3000 router running off of a cable modem and added a WET610N bridge to hook up a tv, blue ray, and receiver in a media counsel in another room. Since i have 3 devices but only 1 port on the bridge, what else should i get? Should i have purchased a different bridge? Add another switch/router?

Get a standard ethernet switch and connect it to the bridge.

I see.
1. 192.168.0.0 addresses are not routable across the public Internet. Even if the whole world knows you're using that space, the information is useless. But if you feel better hiding it, OK.
2. Internal doesn't allow communications with a physical network either. Only the external type does.
3/4. Your problem is not really with Hyper-V. It's with IP.
Your machines are all able to communicate with each other because they're on the same switch and the same subnet. No gateway is required. If you have a computer with an IP of 192.168.1.8 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then it will be able to communicate
with any computer on the same switch with an IP of 192.168.1.anything. It's when they need to talk to computers off of that subnet (anything that doesn't fit the 255.255.255 mask) that they have a problem. For that, you need a gateway somewhere. You can't
use "DC" for the gateway because it's not performing routing services.
You have two choices.
One is to use an external switch so that your guests are directly connected into your physical network. That will take over your WiFi adapter, so you'll probably want to set the share option so your Win8.1 box continues to function. Then just use a common
IP subnet with everything else on your home network.
The second is to set up a software router. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then this has to be in the Win8 environment. I might be mistaken, but I think that
Internet Connection Sharing would even work for this. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then your Win8 system should see two (or more) adapters. One of them is the physical adapter (we'll call it wNetAdapter) and one would be the virtual adapter
(we'll call it vNetAdapter) it uses on the virtual switch. Once you set up ICS, you would have all of your VMs use the IP address that you assigned to vNetAdapter as their gateway.

Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.
