How do I bridge motorola NVG510 to work with Airport Extreme

Hey everyone, I need some help.
I just got uverse and they sent me a motorola Nvg510 router.  I need to put it under bridge mode so I can use the airport extreme and use the guest network functionality.  I don't know what settings to put the motorola router and the airport extreme.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if I have to provide any more information.
Thanks,
AC

I've put up a webpage to explain how to "force" the modem in effective bridge mode here:
http://www.ron-berman.com/2011/11/24/motorola-nvg510-help-page-for-att-u-verse-u sers/
(See question 6).
To get the IP address, just use what your NVG510 reports as "Broadband IPv4 Address" in the Broadband tab of its configuration page.
This address is mostly static (hasn't changed for me in months), and will only change where AT&T make a physical change on the line.

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Any current inkjet printers work with Airport Extreme 802.11g Basestation?

    Does anyone know if there are any printers out there currently being sold that actually work with Airport Extreme (802.11g)? Not the latest 802.11n basestation, but the UFO-shaped Extreme g basestation? I recently tried the HP DeskJet D4160 and it does not work at all with it, although my deprecated HP 940c works just fine. I need to replace the 940C, and I don't want to have to buy and return 20 different printers in order to find one that actually works... Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    Does AirPlay work with AirPort Extreme?

    The AirPort Extreme does allow AirPlay to "pass-through" but it does NOT support receiving AirPlay streams to be played back through powered speakers or an audio receiver as it does not have any built-in audio circuitry like the AirPort Express models.

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

    i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

    Much better graphics, thanks.
    You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
    To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
    No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
    Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
    Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
    Then power down the entire network
    Wait a minute or two
    Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Power up the switch
    Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
    Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

  • Will sony s-air sw10ti work with airport extreme?

    Hi There,
    I have the Sony S-Air SW10 Ti which has a great sound but the Aerial on it for DAB Radio is rubbish, it does have a docking station which also sounds good but no other connection parts. Would this perhaps work with " Airport or Aiport Express/Extreme" ?

    Thanks - I am glad that you explained your situation a liitle more - although there is no direct way to connect to the wi-fi of the Sony - the Airport Express (not the Extreme) has an audio out jack that can be connected to any system - this would be an indirect way of using wi-fi with your Sony - see this link - http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ - you could also incorporate Apple TV into your setup - see this link - http://www.apple.com/appletv/ - but as you can see, both of these choices involve AirPlay and Itunes which may limit your options - and because they are beyond the scope of this discussion group, I would suggest that you re-word your questions and ask them in the appropriate disccusion group in this forum - I hope that this clarifies things somewhat.

  • How do I know "Roaming Network" is working with Airport Express and Airport Extreme and should I use extended wireless network for third Express?

    Attempting to eliminate a dead spot in Wifi coverage [and implement AirPlay] have one Airport Extreme 802.11n and two Airport Express 802.11n's.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    The Airport Extreme is of course connected to cable modem and Ethernet switch, and one Airport Express is connected to the Ethernet network. As per instructions for creating a "Roaming Network", Airport Express is set to same SSID, security type, and Password.
    Questions:
    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to? In other words, will it switch to the closer WiFi transmitter automatically? The WiFi reception problem is intermittent in the fringe areas so what I do not want it for it to stick with the more distant Airport Extreme in the basement when the Airport Express which is closer will work better.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    The third Airport Express will be in a third location - I was planning on using it also for expanding coverage but after reading the warnings about performance suffering when purely using WiFi for the expansion in this location ("Wireless Extended Network" without an ethernet connection) I have figured that the single wired Airport Express will be adequate and will use the third Express to do Airplay only.

    Question: Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    Mitch

    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to?
    The Mac computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal...which is probably the closest AirPort. An iPhone or iPad may not do this and will tend to stay connected to one AirPort.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    On a Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. Click on one of AirPorts. In the area to the right, locate the AirPort ID and jot that down. Then do the same for your other AirPort.
    Move your Mac near one of the AirPorts and log on to the wireless. Hold down the option key on the Mac while you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected.
    If you are close to the "remote" AirPort, and you see the AIrPort ID of the "main" router when you are testing, then you know that the network is not configured correctly.
    Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    There will be a modest 10-15% bandwidth loss with the "extend" setup, assuming that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the AirPort to which it is associated. You can avoid the bandwidth loss if the Express is also connected via Ethernet as part of the roaming configuration.

  • How do I get the printer to work with AirPort?

    I have had my printer connected via USB cable to the AirPort for a while, but recently when I had to disconnect the printer for some home improvement, I ended up with problems.
    Upon reconnecting the printer to the AirPort, I started receiving this message:
    USB Power
    A device connected to this Apple Wi-Fi base station's USB port requires more power than this Apple Wi-Fi base station can provide.  Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
    My printer is connected to a power source, but I still cannot print to it.  I can see the printer when I send something to be printed, but it will not actually print.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my printer to work again?

    Thanks for the detail. The dash separates the "main" and "guest" network.
    There are a number of settings that are 2.4 GHz on both networks. The only time the dash separates 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is on the last 3 settings.
    Since the printer specifications available on the HP site show it is a b/g device only, I suspect that the printer does not like the current guest setting of 802.11 b/g/n you are currently using, which is also what it would be if the AEBS was set on Automatic.
    Try the following setting:
    802.11n only 5 GHz - 802.11 b/g
    It's really the only choice that would keep the 5 GHz that you want on the "main" network and possibly allow the printer to connect. Unfortunately, the optimal choice for range and speed is not the setting that you may need to work with the printer.
    If the printer still won't connect, I would call it a day and when it comes time for a new printer, look first for an ethernet device or at least an "n" device that will handle 5 GHz if you want a wireless printer. The advantage of an ethernet printer would be that it would also work over your wireless.
    Please post back on your findings.

  • Multiple devices no longer work with Airport Extreme

    I can’t get multiple devices to work with my Airport Extreme any longer. Normally, I have 4 wireless devices with my Airport Extreme: MacBook Pro, iPhone 5, Sony Wireless Blu-Ray Player, and Windows Laptop. On a daily basis, I use the MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 at the same time on the network. I have even had all 4 devices on the network without a problem.
    Problem: Since last night, I cannot use any of the devices on the network at the same time. Every time I try to use two devices, I am asked to login into to my ISP and the device currently on the network is booted off.
    Additional info: I live in an apartment complex and use the complex’s ISP. Unusually, since yesterday another device (my guess is a neighbor’s Airport Express) has been showing up in my AirPort Utility. I cannot access that device because it is password protected.
    Attempted Solutions: I have tried a soft reboot, hard reboot, and factory reboot of the Airport Extreme, but still have the same problem. I have also cycled the modem on a repeated basis.
    The ISP does not think it is their problem as I can still connect to them through either directly plugging into the modem/outlet or through the AirPort Extreme. The ISP has great customer service and are usually very helpful, so I don’t think they are trying to blow me off.
    Perhaps, my AirPort Extreme’s settings are off.
    If anyone can provide me with a possible solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have tried a soft reboot, hard reboot, and factory reboot of the Airport Extreme
    A factory reset on the AirPort Extreme would have configured the AirPort Extreme to act as a router, providing normal DHCP and NAT services for your network.
    But, the symptoms that you describe indicate that the AirPort Extreme's Router Mode settings may be configured for "Off (Bridge Mode)".....a setting in which another router at the apartment complex would be responsible for allowing multiple devices on your network to connect.
    Using your MacBook Pro, we need to check the Router Mode setting on your AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Please check the current setting for Router Mode and report on what that setting might be.......either DHCP and NAT......or "Off (Bridge Mode)".

  • All-in-one printer that works with Airport Extreme (n)

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought an Intel MacBook and an Airport Extreme 'n'.
    Now I am looking for a compatible all-in-one (multifunction) printer. I have been searching on the net all day till my eyes are sore.
    I don't need to use it too often so am looking for a a cheapie under $120. I mainly need it for printing black and white, photocopying and scanning the occasional document.
    Is anyone using one with decent quality or can recommend one?
    I know about ifelix's list but am looking for a recommendation as well as one that is compatible...
    thanks you...

    I have looked around here, and just can't figure this
    out, please someone help. I just purchased a 3180 hd
    with my macbook. Was printing wirelessly fine with
    my previous hd and new extreme. Now this one isn't
    working and hp said that it is not a supported
    wireless printer. Why on earth would apple sell this
    printer then.
    Could someone please tell me how to make this printer
    work over my new airport extreme base. PLEASE
    This is the problem with the new airport extreme(n). All the printers work when connected directly to your computer, it is when they are connected to the base station that there seems to be compatibility problems. I have ruled out buying the C3180 for this reason.
    Someone may be able to help you. If not you will either have to connect it directly to your mackbook to use it or return it and buy one that is compatible.

  • HP LaserJet 5000 doesn't work with Airport Extreme

    My HP LaserJet 5000 is connected to a Linksys router which is connected to the AE. My HP DeskJet is connected the same way and works fine. Although the computer recognizes the Laser printer it will not print. The error message that comes up is "Printer Not Responding". Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This all leads me to believe that the problem is with our router. We have a 4th generation Airport Extreme. Outside of this issue, it has worked very well for us for several years. Our modem is a Motorola SB121.
    I should note that everything was working fine up until a few weeks ago. As far as I know, nothing changed within our setup. She had lost connectivity in the past for a few days at a time randomly, but it came back.
    These issues are almost not worth wasting the time spent on them.. you can go out and buy an $80 router.. probably cheaper in the US and have it running again in 5min.
    Your careful analysis looks correct.. the blame is squarely on the AE.
    I am guessing you thought (wrongly as it turns out) that the latest firmware would be the best.
    It is highly likely firmware update somewhere along the way to the latest caused the problem.
    Try going back to 7.6.1 firstly and then 7.5.2 . .after each downgrade.. factory reset.
    Use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric for all names in the AE. ie .. do not use apple names..
    So AEGen4 is a great name .. AE24ghz is a great name for 2.4ghz wireless and AE5ghz is a great name for 5ghz.. yes, do separate names for both wireless channels whilst this issue continues.
    Try and report back if it helps at all.

  • Can't set up a printer to work with airport extreme...

    Alright, I've been stuck here for a while.
    I have an HP PCS 1310. I can set it up perfectly using a USB cable, but when i try to set it up via Airport Extreme, i can't.
    When i try to set it up through airport, the computer doesn't know what drivers to use. It can find the printer, and it'll tell me the name, and the location, but it will ask me to choose what drivers to use. I can't find my printer on the list. I don't really know what to do.
    I'm sorry for being so vague...I wish i could post some pictures (and if i can, can someone please explain how?)
    Thanks everyone!!

    Here is what fixed the printing issues for me:
    1) Open up the Airport Utility and determine the IP address of your Airport.
    2) Add the printer via System Prefs -> Printers (using Boujour)
    3) Then, navigate to http://localhost:631. This will take you to the CUPS setting for the printers.
    4) Go to "Manage Printers" on the CUPS setting for your printer.
    5) Click on "Modify Printer." It will prompt you for your username and password for the computer (enter your short name that you use to login to your machine and password).
    6) Click continue until you get to Device. Change this to AppSocket/HP JetDirect. Click continue.
    7) Change to: socket://your_ip:9101
    8) Continue on till you get to the end of the Modify Device section.
    9) Open up Preferences -> Printers and print a test page.
    If this doesn't work, try changing the port to 9102 instead of 9101.

  • HP printer has just stopped working with Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the airport extreme and when I first got it, I set up my HP C4180 to work with it. I was able to print from my macbook pro, my mini and my girlfriend's PC. Just recently, I have been unable to print from any of them. I can print when I plug the USB directly into my MBP but not through airport. It shows up in the Airport Utility but cannot be seen when I try to add it through the printer utility in System preferences. Any ideas how to get it back?
    Thanks

    I would suggest reading a number of the recent, similar topics for all the different printer brands. There are two main strategies: the Apple article on rebooting your airport station and printer, and the "Airprintfix" strategy for a particular problem in which your printer starts to print, then hangs after an inch.
    I have done both fixes today, as I've had both problems - yours and the partial print one. I'm back in business, after patiently trying out all suggestions on bth my machines.
    I've got a Canon pixma 950, and I agree with posts elsewhere that it seems to be a general problem with printing, and not with a particular brand. Hoping for firmware and OSX updates so we can all get back up to speed!

  • 1.5 TB Seagate drive will not work with Airport Extreme.

    I have a 1.5 TB external drive connected to airport extreme.  I cannot get this drive to be recognizedby the computers connected to the Airport Extreme.  The drive show up as "-1.4 TB - Seagate FreeAgent 0138"  under disks in Airport Utility can plug it in directly to my Mac Air and a PC and the drive will work. When I plug the drive in directly to a PC or Mac Air,  it is recognized and can be used. 
    I can plug in a 250 GB external drive into the Airport extreme and they will work.
    Also,  the 1.5 TB works when plugged locally to a PC or Mac using USB. 
    Anyone know how to get it to work with the Airport Extreme?

    Assuming that the drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or MS-DOS FAT32, you almost always need to use a powered hub with a drive attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme...even if the drive has its own power supply.....because the USB port is under powered and will not supply enough current to most hard drives.
