How do i bridge my extreme with a Verizon FIOS router?

how do i bridge my extreme with a Verizon FIOS router?

Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Although it can "join" the Verizon's wireless network, doing so its Ethernet ports will NOT be enabled for wired clients.

  • How does Time MACHINE work with the Verizon Fios Router and External Harddrive??

    Hello,
    I just got a laptop MBP for my daughter who has got Verizon FIOS as her carrier. The Router has wireless capability and ethernet capable connections.
    I want to set her up with an external hard drive for Time Machine Backups and to make it easier, I was wondering if I can somehow connect the external hard drive to the router so she can use her laptop anywhere in the house and have it backed up.
    I clearly recognize that I can hook it up direct to the laptop but I thought if someone had an idea, this approach might be easier for her.
    I haven't gotten the external hard drive yet so I thought I would ask before I do.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide me,
    Skip

    You can restore from the larger disk since Time Machine makes a complete copy of the Mac on the first backup on any new disk.
    So, the first time your Mac backed up to the larger disk, the entire contents of your Mac's hard drive (minus any files that you excluded) were copied over. Then, Time Machine began to back up the incremental changes on all subsequent backups.

  • Time capsule remote access with verizon Fios router

    I got a new 5gen time capsule. I'm trying to remotely access some files I transferred into the TC. The TC is on bridge mode with my Verizon Fios router. Is there a way to access my files remotely if so how do I set up.

    The Fios router should offer ddns service from several of the providers.
    Typical ones are dyndns and noip
    but there are a fair number of them.. just the client has to be included in the firmware of the router.
    Static public IP is the best option by far, but most ISP will only offer it with their business plans which are so much more expensive that it is not worth it. Some cable services will not offer it at all as their plans are all domestic.
    Anyway the info is a phone call away and see how much extra it costs if it is offered.
    Otherwise check the router for what ddns services are supported and join one.. they are free to a few dollars a month for low use service.

  • How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.

    How to set up Airport Extreme with Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A for the first time for WIRELESS.
    When Charter Tech goes to your site, have them connect the modem up, but do not connect the modem to your iMAC or MacBook Pro.  What you want to do is connect the Airport Extreme to the iMac or MacBook Pro first with the Ethernet Cable. You have to do this to configure via Airport Utility to set up the Base Station Name & Base Station Password.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple Tv, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.
    For INTERNET to the left the light should be green and you should see the Airport Extreme also appear and the light to the left on the screen should also be green.  If they are, you then should be able to click on the Wireless Symbol on top of bar of the screen and click to select the Wireless Network Name you created.
    If you Do Not See the light (Icon) next to INTERNET turn Green, or if you see the Internet Light Green, but the Light (Icon) next to the Airport Extreme is yellow, unplug the power again to the modem and unplug the power again to the Airport extreme and wait about 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Then plug the power cord back to the modem wait till all the lights light up then, plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme and Restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro.
    The Airport Extreme light should change from yellow to green. Open up the Airport Utility to see what the indicators are showing they should both be green.  Again select Wireless network you created under the Wireless Icon on the top right of the screen. Open Safari and see if you are able to Route to a web page or the apple site should appear.
    WHAT TO DO IF YOUR AIRPORT EXTREME WAS PREVIOUSLY SET UP FOR USE WITH ANOTHER CARRIERS ROUTER OR MODEM.
    NOTE:  If you already had your Airport Extreme connected for example, I previously had ATT Uverse and the Airport Extreme was connected to the Wireless Router Model 3801HGV, I disabled the Uverse Wireless and used the Airport Extreme for the Wireless signal in bridge mode, as the Airport extreme Signal is much stronger than the Uverse router, and I was able to obtain a Wireless signal with the Airport Extreme way much better with no signal loss which was very very frustrating with the Uverse router.
    Anyhow if you had it hooked up like this, now that you will be using it with the Charter ARRIS Modem TM902A, you will need to reset the Airport Extreme to clear out the old data it has in memory, with the previous set up otherwise it will not work. Trust me I spent 6 hours trying to make it work reading all Apple Support Community questions and answers relating to this type issue/problem others have been having trying to get their set up working. I tried all the tips, and I finally decided just to see if by chance I would be able to connect with someone with Charter Tech support who might be familiar with Apple to be able to assist me and by luck I did.  He told me why it was not working and was all due the previous configuration with the ATT Uverse router was still in memory with the Airport Extreme. Finally it was 10:30 PM when I decided to call Charter Tech Support and I had been working on this since 3:00 pm pacific. I did not call them earlier as all the post I read said they never received any good help from Charter. After calling them I finished up by 11:00 PM and was able to finally connect Apple Tv, iMac, iPhones and Macbook Pro. We love our Apple Product and Happy all is connected with the new
    Internet Provider Charter. I must say the speed is way way much better than it ever was with AT&T Uverse. 
    THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO:
    First you will need to unplug the Airport Extreme, then by taking the tip of a pen or paper clip end you need to push the reset button on the back of the Airport Extreme and hold it
    down and at the same time plug the power cord back into the Airport Extreme count to 5 or 10 then release the reset button. Then once he light in front of the Airport Extreme stops blinking you need to plug the Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to your iMAC or Macbook Pro, and restart which ever one you have, then open the Airport Utility once it is back up.  If you see airport extreme pop up with the old network name or it shows and yellow triangle click on the Airport Extreme ICON it will not let you configure it but will ask if you want to get rid of it or remove and just do it.  Then Again restart your iMAC or MacBook Pro, open up Airport Utility again, and on the top left you should see under “Other Airport Base Stations” the MAC ID for the Airport Extreme.
    You will then create/configure a Wireless Network, create your Wireless Password that will be entered on each of your Devices, example, Apple TV, your iPhone, etc., you want to allow access to your Wireless Network you are creating.
    Wireless Security will be -> WPA/WPA2 personal or just WPA2
    Enter the Wireless Password you want
    Verify the Wireless Password (enter it again)
    After it is created you will see it on the Airport Utility window with the name you created for it and to the left, will be a Dot (circle that will be yellow).
    Next you then want to unplug the power to the Airport Extreme, and then take the end of the Ethernet cable you unplugged from the iMac or Lap top MacBook Pro and connect it to the back of the Modem.
    Next unplug the power cord from the modem and wait about 5 minutes, then plug the power back into the Arris Modem and wait until all lights come back on the modem wait
    about 5 minutes, then plug the power cord back to the Airport Extreme and you will see it the light blinking yellow.  Wait about 5 to 10 minutes, during this time Restart you IMAC or MacBook Pro, and once it is back up click on the Airport Utility and you should see on the Airport Utility screen.

    I just got a Charter Modem. Model TM822. While I was moving, my Airport Extreme was still at my old place.
    I have a Linksys WRT320N I used for the initial Charter setup.
    I can get my Airport to work here, but the Internet light on the Modem flashes Yellow.
    Hasn't caused any issues so far but one thing I did notice.
    On the Linksys there were 3 DNS servers listed.
    The Airport Extreme only lists 2 and i don't see where I could add another, only change whats already there.
    I tried everything above, but light on modem still flashes yellow.
    I have the technicians cell phone. Told me "that shouldn't be" and gave the same advice listed above.
    I'll break down and call Charter one day, see if it's on their end. NSA tracking may need a reset LMAO.

  • How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model  Actiontec 424wi F series.  Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

    How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F.  Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC?  Will FIOS tv be effected?

    Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
    If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
    If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
    Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
    Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.

  • 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.

  • New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

    New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2.  Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

    If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
    It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

  • Verizon FIOS router Actiontec MI424WR not working with bonjour printing

    Running OS X ver 10.9.3. Have a HPLaserJetP1102w. Just upgraded my Verizon FIOS router to Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I. Now my Mac can no longer find the printer wirelessly (it does, however, work thru USB). I see others have had this problem- and apparently some have solved it by changing settings on the router- but those settings options do not appear under 'advanced' for me. Verizon technical support, including the version one must pay for- was totally and utterly unable to help. Any suggestions for how to rescue this? Was all working perfectly with older Verizon router.

    >It's amazing to me that talkting to 4 or 5 Verizon Tech's, they all say "This is new to me,  I've never heard of this."  Ugh...
    I've had EXACTLY the same experience. Phone support and the techs who come to my home apparently have no idea this has been happening for months and months. Clearly, this issue hasn't filtered down from the network engineers to support.

  • Using Airport Extreme with a Netopia Wireless Router 2247NWG

    Hi, I'm trying to set up an airport extreme base station (AEBS) with a netopia wireless router and my XP SP3 Laptop. I have the extreme plugged into the router and the set up of the AEBS went fine. I have a solid green light on the AEBS and it appears to be working OK. When I move to another room in the house, I have two wireless networks available - the netopia wireless router and the AEBS. Whichever of the networks I connect to, the signal strength is extremely poor and the other is showing available with 5 bars. When I connect to the strong network, the signal goes weak and the original network is available with 5 bars. I've tried disabling the wireless on the router but this doesn't help. The router network is still showing as available with 5 bars but I can't connect to it.
    First day with my MAC gear (haven't even opened the MacBook box yet) and I need help!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, today I finally broke down and plugged them both into the two available ports in the back of the AEBSn via ethernet cables. My question is: Do I have to "turn off" the airport connection in order to make the ethernet connection the default connection?
    That might help but it isn't necessary. You can simply rearrange the order of items in the Network preference pane.
    Search on the internet and you will find many ways to check the speed. One is http://us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/default.asp

  • How do I setup Airport Extreme to repeat my BT router wireless signal?

    I have a BT router and want to setup 3 x airport Express to repeat the signal wirelessly around the house.
    They all seem fine with steady green lights but are not repeating the wifi so I get very low (or no) signal strength even if I stand right next to it.
    Do I have to have an Apple base station or will they work with a non-apple router?

    Do I have to have an Apple base station or will they work with a non-apple router?
    Unfortunately, the Apple routers will only "extend" or provide more wireless coverage using wireless only...if they are used with another Apple product.
    If you added an AirPort Extreme to your BT router using an Ethernet connection, and then configured the Extreme to create a wireless network...the Express devices would be able to "extend" that network.

    So you are wondering how to make the size change "permanent" for a channel? If so, no, there is no way. If you change the channel the screen size reverts to normal on the new channel, and if you go back to the one where you had set the size it is back to normal there also.

  • How I was able to get a Wireless-N FIOS Router

    Short story:
    1. Order upgrade from current 5/25 to 35/35 Internet speeds
    2. Request Wireless N Router to replace existing Wireless G router
    3. Schedule date for installer to come & install N router (for me this is 29 Nov 2011.)
    Long story:
    I decided to switch my cellphone service from Sprint to Verizon, partially becuase there is a $10/mo discount for bundling cell service with my current FIOS Triple-Play service.  During this discussion the VZ rep suggested I could update my FIOS Internet from 5/25 to 35/35, get a bunch of additional HDTV channels, and switch my landline to what amounts to VOIP (VZ calles it Digital Voice) at a net increase in cost of about $13.50/mo.  (It is actually $20/mo more but switching to VOIP eliminates $6.50 in Federal tax.) This would get further reduced by $10.00/mo when I added the cellphone service.
    In addition, if I signed up for a 2-year contract VZ would send me a $300 prepaid ZVisa card nexts Feb. This sounded like a reasonably good deal to me so after a few discussions I decided to do it.  
    While talking to the VZ rep I asked about the Wireless N router. He said my current G router woudl work with the new service. I said I knew this but wanted the N model instead. He said I could get this from a local VZ Fios store. So I said OK, I'll call the store and find out if they have them in stock.  The rep was disappointed I didn't place the order then, but I wanted to be sure I could actually get the N router.
    I used Google to find a VZ store near me. I called the number; it never answered. So I tried another store a bit farther away. The person there said he had to look up my account to check what equipment I had.  So I gave him all my info.  After a while he said he was unable to look up my account and that I should call yet another store.
    I called that one and the person there said routers can only be ordered directly from Verizon, and that I shoudl call VZ Customer Service.
    I called FIOS Customer Service instead (800-837-4966) and talked to a rep who took me through the whole FIOS upgrade process described above. I asked abotu the N router and he said he'd have to check on how those are obtained.  I explained to him the story abotu beiung unable to get one at a store, so he put me on hold and finally came back saying a tech would come to my home and install it.
    So he scheduled the 35/35 upgrade, additional HD channels,  and the phone switch for the early morning of the 29th, and the tech to come and install the new router between 7:30 and 10:30.  Here's hoping it all goes ok.

  • Airport Express/AirTunes Not Working with New Verizon FIOS Connection

    I was just set up with the new Verizon FIOS high speed internet, and now my Airport Express/AirTunes will not connect to my remote speakers like it did previously. The option for them is still there on iTunes, however when I select them, I get the horizontal barber pole for a minute, then the speaker selction goes back to computer.
    In more detail:
    Previously I had a Comcast internet connection which went through a Linksys wireless router. My Mini picked up the internet with this connection. Then I had an Airport Express hooked up to some remote speakers. They worked fine. Now, I have the Verizon wireless router hooked in directly to my Mini through the ethernet cable. I see the wireless network created by the Verizon router. I still see the wireless network created by the Linksys router. However, my iTunes can not connect to my AE/AirTunes speakers.
    Note, I did reset the AE and then using Airport Setup Assistant, tried to locate it again, but it came up with nothing (other than my neighbor's new Verizon router).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Still no luck. The green light is on for the AE.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
