How do I prevent the Airport Extreme router from dropping with DSL when a call comes in?

I just installed a new Aiport Extreme 802.11n router. I am using DSL and it works great until someone calls me. When the phone rings and my answering machine answers the call the router drops and start flashing amber.My old router did not have this problem. Is there an option I can set that will prevent the router from dropping when someone calls me?

The AirPort Extreme should be configured to "create a wireless network" with the same WiFi network name, security type (usually WPA2 Personal) and password as your existing router. It should be configured as connection type Ethernet and be in bridge mode.

  • How do i use the airport extreme to extend my wireless network

    How do i connected my airport extreme up to my existing network so that it can extend my wireless through out the house ??
    Can it be done wirelessly or do i need an ethernet cable thats about 10m ?
    Keith

    The AirPort Exteme can "extend" your existing wireless network (using wireless only) if it is being provided by another Apple router.
    If your current main router is not an Apple product, then you will need to plan to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an Ethernet cable.
    Post back for more information if needed.

  • My Time Capsule disk shows on my iMac but not my MacBook Pro. How do I get the Airport Extreme mounted disk to show as an available Time Machine disk on my MacBook?

    I just replaced an Airport Express with a new Airport Extreme. My iMac recognizes the external hard disk I have connected to the Airport Extreme, and my Time Machine is backing up to it. But I can't get my MacBook Pro to recognize the disk as available for Time Machine. Both are running Mavericks, and the MacBook is only a couple of months old.

  • How do I find my Airport Extreme router online?

    When I type in the address from my Airport Extreme router (version 802.11n), I cannot find it online. It does not show as an IP address. I am having some problems with my printer and want to set up a static IP address, but want to make sure that I use the correct one. Is there a way to make sure there is only one IP address being used?

    You must use the Airport Utility application on your PC to configure the Airports. They are not configured with a web based program.

  • I have a Sony Bravia KDL46W905 TV but I can't get it to connect the Airport Extreme router

    My Sony Bravia KDL46W905 TV won't connect to my Airport Extreme router and the internet. It recognises and picks up my home wireless network though and I'm inputting the correct password but still won't connect. The router is set to WPA2 Personal.
    Anyone any ideas?

    While most devices should connect using WPA2 Personal, please temporarily test using no security to see if the Sony TV will connect that way.
    If it will, then try the more compatible setting of WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AirPort Extreme and test that way.
    However, if the TV will not connect using no wireless security.....then it is a no brainer to conclude that the TV will never connect with security enabled....so more troublehooting is going to be required.
    In that case, make sure that the name of your wireless network......
    Does not exceed 20 characters, fewer would be better
    Does not contain any special characters like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc
    Does not have any blank spaces
    For example, if the current name of your wireless network is something like.....
    rpepler's wireless network
    Change that to read something like.....
    rpeplerwireless
    Same rules for the wireless network password

  • What is the username and password for the airport extreme router

    I just switched from a wired router to an airport extreme and im trying to access the router information by typing in my router into the search bar of safari, when I used my old router the username and password was admin, admin. but this isnt the case with the airport extreme, does anyone know what the username and password combination is for airport extreme?

    Unlike routers from most other manufacturers, Apple's Airport devices cannot be configured using a web browser pointed to the IP address of the Base Station. Any manual configuration of the Airport Base Station must be done using the Airport Admin Utility provided by Apple.
    FYI, when using the Airport Admin Utility the default password for the Airport Base Station is the word "public".

  • How many network interfaces the Airport Extreme (a/b/g/n with USB) has?

    I am trying to use an SNMP client on the computer to monitor my network traffic.
    I using the Airport Extreme (AEBS) to connect to the internet using PPPoE. wifi and ethernet (RJ45) ports are used for LAN
    Now after setting up the SNMP client, it shows so many interfaces the AEBS has, and most names of the interfaces cant give me a clue about what they are:
    1: mgi0
    2. mgi1
    3. mv0
    4. mv1
    5. lo0
    6. wlan0
    7. wlan1
    8. pppoe0
    9. bridge0
    The "pppoe0" interface is self evident. That's the overall traffic in and out of the router to the Internet.
    But I also want to monitor the traffic on my local computer, which is a Macbook Pro connected thru wifi. I also have a few other windows boxes on the LAN using wifi or ethernet connect.
    So I need to what those interfaces are.
    Is there any documentation regarding the network interfaces of the AEBS?

  • How do I connect an Airport Extreme to my ISP with a static IP address?

    I have 5 static IP addresses from my ISP. The cable modem has five ethernet jacks. I run an ethernet cable from separate jacks on th cable modem to the devices listed next. I have one static IP address assigned to a Linksys wireless router for a MS network. Another is used by my VoIP router. I want to use a third static IP address for my Airport Extreme and set up a new network for a server running Leopard Server, iMacs, latptops. When I enter a static IP address in the Airport Extreme, I can't connect to the internet. Can anybody help?

    When you configured your Airport Extreme with one of the five static (and public) IP addresses available to you - did you remember to also configure the Airport Extreme with your ISP's router (or "gateway") IP address as well as the IP address(es) of your ISP's domain name servers?

  • How do I use the Airport Extreme feature.

    For a while I have used a Netgear WGR614 wireless router, which worked fine (with a cable modem).
    At this time I have a DSL modem, and for the life of me I can NOT get this Netgear router to work anymore. The period for free phone support has expired, every call for support is now at least $ 40.00 so I am going to buy something else.
    This is available in my Powerbook:
    * Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
    * Wireless Card Locale: USA
    * Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
    Is there anything I can buy from Apple that would make it possible to be wireless with this?
    I'd be gratefull for any kind of information.
    Best regards,
    Mildred Denney.
