How to connect a EE 4G HUAWEI E5776 to Airport network and share connection

Help Please!
We live in a rural area with poor <6MBS down <1MBS Up Broadband. I have purchased a Huawei E5776 on EE in the UK and can get 16MBS down and about 14mps up.
Now my problem, large house with 1 Aiport Base Station and 3 Express repeaters share the network around the house. Does anybody know how I can get the Huawei on the wireless network so it can be repeated and used throughout the house? PS I also use 3 Apple TV V2 and various other internet devices.
Many thanks for any help I have tried all I know and guess it might be down to correct use of IP address and router address but as of now Im stuck. Please keep it to the level of advanced amater not IP professional!

You would need to connect the wireless modem to a Mac equipped with Ethernet and share the WWAN connection over Ethernet.
OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
Connect the Ethernet port to the WAN port on the base station. Configure the base station in bridge mode.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to my Airport Express and share it to store files on between two machines via the usb port. The machines are a MacBook and a fairly new Win machine. Printers and Airplay as well as wifi work perfect.

    Wondering about the above.

    ... I bought a hard drive at an Apple store because they told me I could hook it up through my Airport express.
    Bzzt. Nope. Bring it back.

    Question: What is an AirPort Express?
    Answer: An AirPort Express is a Wi-Fi base station. Besides acting as an Internet access point, it has several specialized features which make it ideal for specific needs.
    Printer - Act as a wireless interface for one printer connected to the USB port, making it available to your network
    "Hook it up" - in the sense that a wireless device may be wirelessly "hooked up" to an Express - is a different matter; like "hooking up" with a friend.
    Words mean things. Imprecise words mean imprecise things. That generally doesn't end well.
    Apple ought to read this stuff once in a while.

    I thought right. That won't work. An Extreme or Time Capsule will.

  • My macbook 13 pro is not connecting to the internet even though the airport says it's connected. Can someone help me?

    My macbook 13 pro is not connecting to the internet even though the airport says it's connected. Can someone help me? My iphone and other macbook connect and work no problem. What steps can I take?

    Ok....
    Now go to your router's settings.  Not sure who makes your router...
    Look at wireless part of it and see how many computers are actually hooked up to it.
    Delete your computer from it (in your router).
    Restart your router.
    After your router has restarted, try to connect to it with your MB and see if you can browse the net.

    Ensure it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, FAT16, or FAT32, connect it to a self-powered hub, and plug it into the Time Capsule's USB port. If the drive is Ethernet and not USB, ignore everything else and just plug it in.

  • I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

    I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

    Did you figure this out?  I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent.  Same fricken thing is happening to me.  I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it?  This just really stinks.

  • My iPhone will no longer pick-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home.  the wi-fi settings are ok there,

    My iPhone will no longer picks-up the wifi at home(comcast). My mom used to have comcast and I used to connect there as well, but she changed to verison and I connect there, but no longer can get the comcast wi-fi at home.  The wi-fi settings are ok there, but blank at home now.  The phone's network settings are fine because I can join other wifi networks.  I've done a reset with no results.  Is there a manual way for me to restore the comcast wifi from the router?

    First thanks for the reply and second sorry about the confusion.  I was unable to get the full message out, but here's the problem:
    Like I had mentioned, for a long time both me and my Mom had comcast and as soon as I came into both dwellings the phone would automatically jump onto either wifi network.  Then a while ago she verison and used the same Belkin router.  So there was no problem and my phone jumped on her system as usual, but at some point something happened and when I got home I noticed that the phone asked to be put on my system.  I would input the password, but it would say "unable to connect" to the network.  I did the standard things like check the network settings on the phone itself and they were fine.  Then I did a reset (actually twice) with the same result.  It seems like the phone ability to pick-up wi-fi is ok because when I go to my University I can log-in with no problem.  The only thing I noticed is when I look at the settings (on the iPhone) for the router at home the whole thing is blank.  My question is: Is there a manual way to get the phone to pick-up my router?  I need to have it on my network at home because I use DocumentsToGo a lot.  Thanks again for your response again and I hope things are clear now.  Have a great day.

  • IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

    IPHONE 5:  can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off.  ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc.  No changes.  Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier.  Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet.  Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?   

    I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

  • Recieve and Share Connection through airport

    hello,
    I staying at a very big house, and the wifi here does not extend to my room. We have 2 iBook G4's and I was wondering if there is a way to recieve the connection on one iBook, and with the same one broadcast it through its airport card. Whenever I try to share the connection it wont let me be connected to the internet. any suggestions of programs or tips that will help me do this?
    Thanks
    Zack

    I stand by what I said: "A laptop with a wired connection can share the Internet through it's wireless card or vice versa." That means they can both:
    1. connect wirelessly to the internet via Airport
    base station
    2. connect via ethernet to other computers on a LAN
    and share that airport based internet connection with
    the other computers ?
    I have not tried to do what you are suggesting but it should work according to this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107484
    I have DSL but am considering dumping it as
    sharing an airport connection is far cheaper.
    You still need an ISP so if not DSL what would the Airport share?
    it is possible to have both airport and
    ethernet active as far as that goes.
    They can both be active but unless you enable Internet Sharing from Airport to Ethernet in the Sharing System Preference it won't happen.
    Office Mac A (static IP)
    Why use static IPs? If they can't find a DHCP server they will default to being on the same subnet (169.254.x.x). Internet Sharing assumes the clients will be using DHCP.

  • Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

    Yes, if the AirPort Extreme is joining a wireless network that has been created by another Apple router. In this case, it will be extending the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the "remote" AirPort Extreme.
    No, if the AirPort Extreme will be used with another router from another manfacturer.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express can do what you ask about with virtually any wireless network using a special feature called ProxySTA. It won't extend the wireless with a non-Apple router, but the Ethernet port will be enabled.

  • How do I solve connection problems with Windows-PCs on a AirPort network?

    I have a AirPort network with 1 AP Extreme (dual band)  in bridge modeextended with two dualband AP Express and one 1st gen. AP Express. With only Macs all computers connect without problem, but when introducing PCs running Windows (7 or 8) on my wireless network both Windows and Macs often get problems getting an IP-adress from my router. When resetting my router problem is solved for a while.
    Anyone with a solution?

    You're going to have to be more specific with the issues, errors and diagnostic messages that you are encountering, and what particular configuration you are seeing to establish.
    Screen sharing is available from Mac to Mac, and from Windows once you load a VNC client on the Windows box such as TightVNC or some other VNC client, and configure and connect it.
    Here are some notes on getting Windows file clients to connect to a Mac OS X Server SMB Samba file server; you have to drop some of the Windows security requirements to allow it to connect to the Mac OS X Server box.
    Microsoft Office Outlook isn't traditionally used with mail servers other than Microsoft Exchange Server.  (While Outlook was good with Exchange Server and has likely gotten better over the years, it was classically rather poor when working with SMTP servers.)  More commonly, Outlook Express (and now called Windows Mail) is used for this, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or another SMTP-capable mail client.
    One of the first things you will want to ensure here is correct and functional DNS on your LAN; other services are entirely dependent on DNS, and your ISP DNS cannot provide valid DNS for a LAN behind a NAT device.  Launch Terminal.app and issue the command sudo changeip -checkhostname and see if you get an indication that DNS is correct and no changes are required, or that there are DNS errors.  (You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo command to be accepted.)
    To connect and use a mail server on the Internet, you'll need to have a public static IP address and a correct public DNS configuration, or (far less desirably, and rather more complex) a way to tunnel from a non-static IP address over to a mail gateway service of some sort.  Having static IP and correct DNS is the usual approach.

  • How do you connect Airport Extreme and share HP Photosmart 3210 Printer?

    Hello,
    I have a Mac and PC Network composed of:
    iMac 24'' Leopard 10.5.2 (main computer)
    2 PC Fujitsu Pentium 4 on Windows XP
    2 PC HP Pentium 4 on Windows XP
    my network/connections are done via Airport Extreme and 2 hubs (other devices connected to the network like Wii, XBox etc.)
    I am trying to share my HP Photosmart 3210 using the USB connector on Airport Extreme but I am experiencing strange problems while printing from the iMac. I can print an e-mail or a "light" document however if I want to print a Mac powerpoint (Mac office) largest document, the problem starts after the second or 3rd page, the printer goes on pause at the middle of the page and the interface indicates "problem communicating with the printer" or something like that.....unique possibility is to turn the printer off and start again but the problem persists. However, it seems that the printer works ok from the PC's.
    I have tried to install the latest versin of the HP driver on my iMac but while configuring, the printer doesn't appear....I have checked on the printer settings and the IP address is 0.0.0.0.
    I am now thinking about connecting the Printer via one of the Ethernet port on Airport Extreme.
    Questions:
    1. Any help on the above ? Any advice ?
    2. Is it normal to have no IP address on the printer when connected via USB on Airport Extreme ?
    3. Why HP config doesn't recognize the printer on the network ?
    4. Why does it work from the PCs and not from the iMac and why does it print light documents and not big ones ? Is this a memory7buffer problem on the printer ? What can I do if this is the case ?
    5. On the Airport Extreme Utility, do I need to share the printer via "Bonjour"?
    6. I am willing to plug an extrenal HD on the Airport Express USB port. Is it possible to put first a multi USB port on the Airport Extreme USB or is it going to cause problems ?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    NCBob, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If I understand correctly you are replacing the Linksys. It should be a simple replacement. Connect the cable modem to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). Connect your Ethernet devices (including the switch) to the AEBS LAN ports.

  • I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

    I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
    Please help a new person to Apple!

    why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

  • Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

    My Verizon fios system was recently installed.  My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms.  The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine.  Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router.  Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
    I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both.  Any suggestions?
    One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal.  In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router).  Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

    DC_Sox_Fan wrote:
    I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections.  So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
    Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
    Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
    I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

  • Logged on to my network and says connection lost won't let me open web pages ?

    Ipad 2 logs on to network then when i open safari i get message that safari can't open because of lost connect while other computers still work ?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Airport Card finds network and says connected but won't let me on internet!

    My airport is on and finds a network, shows full strength of signal (like it's done for the past 8 months). But it has stopped letting me onto the internet. Safari and Mail hang and say they are not connected. If I go ahead and plug the ethernet cable in (from same network) it starts up fine. I live in a hotel and have done the same thing for 8 months, why today would it start doing this? Can anyone help. This is my first mac and I haven't the foggiest how to deal with this. I've turned airport off, restarted, turned it back on etc. It always finds a signal and says it's ready, but won't let me onto the internet. Thanks for any help you have.

    Is the internet service also password protected? (As in, do you need a password for both the wireless and for the internet connection?) If so, then when you run the "assist me" option you should set up a PPP connection. That's my situation but I still have problems with it remembering my settings after rebooting or disconnecting...
