How to bridge my bigpond st536 to my airport extreme?

I have just received my bigpond st536 single port modem and am trying to connect it to my airport extreme so my other apples can use connection. Have read that the connection can be bridged but can not find a means of doing so on the st536 connection page. Can anyone help. I do not want to buy the thomson wi fi router when I have a new airport extreme to use. Thanks.

I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

  • Should I disable the wireless capabilities of my Bigpond modem/router when Airport Extreme is connected?

    Should I disable the wireless capabilities of my Bigpond modem/router when Airport Extreme is connected? I'm told that it's better to only use the WiFi capabilities of the Extreme and leave the Bigpond to feed to the extreme.

    No, bridge mode would not be the correct setting for this.
    Instead, look for a "wireless settings" tab or page that will provide the option to turn off or disable the wireless radio of the BigPond router.
    If you are still having difficulty, it would be a good idea to post your question on a BigPond support forum or contact your Internet Service Provider.

  • How do I extend a network with an AirPort Extreme from an Arris TG862?

    I'm using Comcast as my ISP, and after some issues with a previous Motorola modem, they supplied me with an Arris TG862 Router/Modem combo tower. I have two AirPort Extremes, one of which was previously connected to the old Motorola modem to send wireless into the house, but it only reached halfway, so I had the other AirPort Extreme in the middle of the house to "catch" the signal and then broadcast it out to the rest of the house. This worked fine for a while.
    But with the new TG862, it doesn't seem to be an option. From what I've read, if I have the TG862 in one room (connected to the cable), AirPort Extreme #1 in the middle of the house, trying to join the existing network (or extend it?), and AirPort Extreme #2 in the far end of the house (to extend from AirPort #1), it won't work. Apple's "extension" technology isn't compatible with all other modems or routers, and even if it was, I'd have to somehow configure the TG862 to "allow to be extended."
    So my question is, IF there is a desktop utilizing the TG862 as a direct connection (because it has no built-in Wi-Fi), is it possible to put the TG862 into bridge mode, connect one of the AirPort Extremes and have it act as the router so I can use AirPort Extreme #2 to extend that network out to the rest of the house? I want to ensure the desktop still has a connection, but there's Wi-Fi that actually goes out through the whole house.
    The connected-to-the-cable-desktop is a PC; we have multiple iPhones, iPads, and anywhere from 1 Mac laptop to 1 iMac in the house at any given time.

    Topic title pretty well sums up the question.
    I have a TimeCapsule Base Station with two Expresses for extending the network through the house.
    We're doing a 3 room addition, and there is not a convenient place to put an Express in a wall outlet in the middle room of the addition, but there's a perfect place to put an Extreme on top of a piece of furniture.
    So, can the Extreme act as an "extender" only, in lieu of using an Express?
    Hiya.
    You can absolutely extend a network with an Extreme. I've got a 5th gen. Extreme extending a network created with a 3rd gen. Time Capsule. On the Extreme, you'll have the option to allow (or not) WiFi clients. I recommend having all units updated to the current firmware (7.6.1 as of this writing). Note that extending doesn't work in daisy-chain fashion, meaning that your Expresses or Extremes will each connect to and extend from the TC. As such, you'll want the TC to be in as central a location as possible to offer the best coverage.

    Matt
    Is it possible to speak on the phone?  The situation is so convoluted it might be easier to help me get back on track in person. When I first had this issue I got on an apple site that had a chat room in which I typed in my problem.  After several missives back and forth, the apple technician asked for my number and we spoke on the phone. The technician walked me through rebooting the actual airport plug (as opposed to the router box) and got me up and running. Do you know how I can relocate that chat site for technical support?
    Thanks

    The only RAM that's likely onboard is whateve is used by the hardware and would be soldered to the board. One would need to disassemble it in order to determine what if any RAM is on the board. There is no user-accessible RAM.

  • 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.

  • How-To Set Up with Uverse Gateway with Airport Extreme

    I just spent hours figuring this out so I thought it would be helpful to someone. Maybe, maybe not. My goal was to get Back to My Mac turned on...but this should also be how you set up your wireless network if you have both an Airport Extreme and a Uverse Gateway.
    As I was trying to setup BTMM, I got a "double NAT" error. To use BTMM, you have to use either Time Capsule or Airport Extreme, so that NAT has to be enabled. That meant I had to figure out how to turn off U-verse's. I looked through the settings but saw nothing about it. Several hours of research--and a useless support call to AT&T--I finally figured it out. Here's the configuration you need, in brief.
    On the Airport Extreme, under Internet > Internet Connections, Connection Sharing must be set to "Share a public IP address". Then under the NAT button, Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol must be checked.
    Now, unless you doe rest of this configuration, you will get a double DHCP error. So, in the Uverse Gateway settings, you must do this:
    1. Under Wireless, click the option to DISABLE wireless. Click Save.
    2. Under Firewall, click the option with DMZ in the name. On this page, choose your Airport Extreme (whatever you named it). Then scroll down and choose the option that says "Allow All Applications (DMZPlus Mode)". Save that configuration. DO A HARD RESET ON THE AIRPORT EXTREME. Then that should enable a single NAT protocol and BTMM will be on its way. And your wireless network will be set up properly.

    Will the above method work on a set up with a Verizon Modem to a DLink wireless router to a Time Capsule?
    I know of no reason why it would not. Whenever there is another router ahead of the Time Capsule, the Time Capsule must be configured in Briddge Mode. My network has 4 routers. The "main" router is setup to handle DHCP and NAT and the other 3 routers are setup in Bridge Mode. No problems.
    Weird thing is Air Video set up tells me I have a double NAT
    Double NAT occurs when you have two routers on a network both set up to handle DHCP and NAT services. Your Verizon "modem" may be a gateway....a combination modem/router on the same chassis. If that's the case, then every other router on the network must be confgured as a "Bridge".
    If you have the "main" router on the network setup to handle DHCP and NAT, in theory, you can have multiple other routers on the network as long as they are all setup in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off, so the other routers simply pass through the network information from the main router. It's by far the easiest way to configure multiple routers without having to go into special DMZ, port mapping, etc type of configurations.

  • How do I do port forwarding on my airport extreme for my IP camera (foscam)?

    Hi,
    I've been working on this for what seems like a week.  I purchased a wireless security camera to put in my house and to see from my laptop (or IPAD2) when I'm away.  I am able to see it from either device when I'm here at home, but not when I'm out on the road. 
    According to the instructions for a mac setup, I needed to set up a DDNS service  and get a free account at DynDNS, which I did.  They also told me to use a different port than 80, suggesting 8081 as the http port which I plugged in to the camera device setting..  The next step is to do PORT FORWARDING and then I should be able to use my DDNS domain name and port number to login to my camera anywhere...
    I'm stuck in how to do this with my airport extreme.  I see where I have to go into utilities and click on airport utility, and then manual set-up..
    Right now when I click on the Internet tab at the top I see the connection sharing is off (Bridge Mode), and that I have to change it to share a public IP address to get DHCP and NAT to appear in the tabs..
    when I go to NAT, the box for enable NAT port mapping protocol is checked and then there is a tab I can click on that says Configure Port Mapping.
    I know that I'm supposed to click the plus button + to enter a service and a port and here's where I get stuck
    when I click the + button I can either click on the choose  a service tab, which then drops down a list of services like Personal File Sharing, Window Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, Remote Login SSH , etc, or just keep it where it says choose a service and not choose one of the services.
    Then there are some boxes to fill in for Public UDP Port(s), Public TCP Port(s),  PRIVATE IP address-where the only numbers I can change are the last ones and I don't know if I'm supposed to put the IP address of the camera or what?  and then the boxes for Public UDP and PUBLIC TCP.
    I tried a few times to fill out the port numbers to 8081 (the one I selected for the IP camera) but I don't know what to do for the private IP address. When I changed the last numbers to the IP address of my camera, and went to update, it told me that I  had to correct the 2 problems before updating:
    DHCP beginning address, and dhcp ending address...as the DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the  WAN IP address of your Airport wireless device.  So I cancel and am stuck.
    Sorry this is so long.. but I really can't get anyone to help me figure this out.. The camera company isn't answering ..
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for the info. I checked the model number on the Westell site to get info on the device. From Westell's info.....
    1. Product Description
                            This ADSL modem is a NAT router with a four port 10/100BaseT Ethernet switch, a USB port and 802.11g wireless interface.
    So, while you might refer to it as a "modem" ( a modem will only have one Ethernet port), you have a router or gateway. A gateway is simply a modem and router in the same box.
    With the AirPort Extreme, you have 2 routers on the network. Basic networking rules dictate that when there are 2 routers, the first....your Westell.....must handlde DHCP and NAT,  and the second router....in this case the AirPort Extreme....must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will function correctly on the network. That's why the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode. That is the correct setting on your network.
    That's also why you were getting the error messages when you tried to configure the Extreme as a second router.
    As I mentioned before, any port mapping or port forwarding is going to have to be set up on the "main" router....your Westell. It cannot be set up on the AirPort Extreme.

  • How to connect a second computer to an airport extreme network

    how do I connect my macbook pro to an existing airport extreme network. The AE basestation is showing up on the macbook but when I click on it it tells me its not connected ??

    How can one determine if another person has leeched
    onto an Airport Extreme network? Is there a way to
    list users?
    Run Airport Utility, Manual Setup, Advanced button, Logs and statistics, Wireless Clients.
    ...just changed my password and now my internet
    connection is much, much faster...the wireless
    broadcasting strength was fine, but, web pages had
    recently slowed to a crawl...after changing the
    password download speeds returned to normal...could
    someone have been leeching on the network?
    Sure, if you made a more secure password, that is quite possible. Minimum recommendation is the following:
    1. use WPA
    2. use a password with no word from ANY dictionary
    3. use a password that is a combination of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and special characters
    4. use a password at least 12 characters long.
    Better yet, use a "strong" password generator, such as the one at:
