I've replaced my 2Wire ATT DSL Router/Modem with a new AT

I'm trying to set up Time Capsule with my AT&T DSL modem, can I connect all PC's in the house wirelessly or does one need Ethernet?

If all of your PC's are wireless capable, you can certainly hook them all up via wireless......unless you have more than 50 PC's. That's the limit for wireless connections on the Time Capsule. You can add another 150 Ethernet devices, though.
However, if you are configuring the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode, it is the 2-Wire gateway than is controlling the number of devices that can connect.
You won't be able to remove the 2-Wire gateway from your network unless you replace it with a modem. The 2-Wire provides both modem and router functionality in one box. As you know, the Time Capsule does not have an on board modem.

Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server

Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server
My DSL connection periodically slows down to a crawl [less than 56kbps actual transfer rate].
When I reset my DSL Modem it takes 30 MINUTES to 4 HOURS to reconnect.
The Main status screen shows DSL connected at 1700/448 kbps.
Advanced status WAN Status shows DSL connected but PPPOE not connected.
I cannot ping the ISP router or the DNS Server.

Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.
Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.
Hmm...
#1 Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?
Points to: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317
#2 If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.

I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine. I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

Using Airport Express with an ATT DSL router

July 10, 2012
Hi All! The following thoughts are for
     1) those of you who use ATT DSL as your internet service-provider, and
     2) who wish to stream iTunes songs from your computer to speakers in other rooms via AIRPORT EXPRESSes, and
     3) are wondering whether you have to purchase a separate Apple Airport Extreme base-station, or can simply use your exisiting ATT router.
Having just spent several days and many hours on the phone before Apple's tech "Dan" was finally able to get my system up and running, I thought some of you might appreciate my sharing the following info while it's still fresh in my mind.
1. You may need to update your ATT router to the latest version, in order for it to properly communicate with your AIRPORT EXPRESS(es) (henceforth shortened to "AEs"). The AEs use 802.11n speed. My original ATT router (a 2Wire 2701HG-B) was no faster than "-h," and this might have been part of the problem as to why my system wouldn't work. I went to my local AT&T store, and got their latest router: as of this writing, a Netgear "Westell" Model B90-755025-15, which can run at both the slower speeds as well as the faster "-n." To find out some of the specs of my router, an Apple tech had me type in the 10 digits of my Gateway IP Address into the address-bar (no need for the "https://www") and "Presto!", up popped several pages of info on my router.
2. When first setting up your AE, it needs to be back in "default mode." If it's right out of the box, you don't need to do anything. But if, like me, you've already made several attempts to get it running, then you need to reset it to its pre-configured state, You do that by taking a bent paper-clip, and inserting one end into the little hole on the ports-side of your AE (near where the mini-plug of a speaker-cable is inserted). While the device is plugged in, gently press the paper-clip into the hole until the light on top blinks amber QUICKLY, the flashes coming in rapid succession. Then remove the paper-clip, and the AE will glow solid amber--meaning it's waiting to be re-programmed.
3. When first setting up your AE, do NOT attach an ETHERNET CABLE from the router. The only cable that needs to be attached is the mini-plug cable running to some sort of portable, powered speaker. For myself, to make things easier, I brought my AE and my new Sony RDP-M5iP speaker/dock into the same room as my Imac & router. That way, I'd know immediately if the AE was working correctly.
4. After you've clicked on your Airport Utility App (hard drive TO Applications TO Utilities folder), you'll soon come to a page that asks you to name your AE (this page calls it a "base station"). Before you do that, you should see a button in the lower left-hand corner that says, "Other Options." Click on it. You'll then be given a choice of "Creating a New Network" or "Choosing an Existing Network." You want this 2nd choice--because you indeed are planning to use your ATT router's exisitng wireless network.
5. Shortly, you'll come to the page asking you to name your AE. Call it, for instance, "Family Room Speaker." As for password, at first I--as well as virtually all of the techs with whom I spoke--thought I should type in the multi-digit ATT router-password (called a "Wireless Network Key"). But finally, "Dan" told me to simply type in, "express1" (or, for my 2nd AE, "express2"). That did the trick!
6. Your AE should now be glowing green on top. Plus, on the 10x6" dark-grey rectangular box displaying the globe (i.e., your main internet connection), the globe should have a now-green glowing circle to its left. And underneath, it should be displaying a rectangle named "Family Room Speaker" (or whatever name you've given your Airport Express).
7. When you now open iTunes, you should see a little blue rectangle (with a triangle in its middle) in the lower right-hand corner of your iTunes box. Click on it, and it should show listed both your computer-speaker as well as your AE speaker(s), plus a heading called "multiple speakers." Click on "multiple," and it will bring up a box displaying all your now-current speakers. Check the small square next to any speakers that are unchecked, and a volume-slider will appear. Bring them all up to a comfortable level. Then click on an iTunes track you'd like to play and, viola!, you should hear music playing both from your computer and from the portable speaker to which your AE is attached.
8. Now close iTunes. Then unplug your Airport Express and--if you have a 2nd AE-- plug them both back into your power-strip. Go thru the set-up steps in your Airport Utility App for this 2nd AE. At the end of it, both AEs should be glowing green on top, and both should be displayed on your computer-screen.
Now re-open iTunes, and start a song playing. (Don't forget to click on the blue rectangle at the R-hand bottom, and activate the new AE speaker.) By inserting your speaker cable alternately into each of the AEs, you should be able to verify that, yes, both are now working.
9. Unplug both AEs, and bring them to whatever room you want to use them in. Plug them in to a wall outlet, and run your mini-cable from the AE to the speaker. Give the AEs a few minutes to pick up the signal once again from your ATT router; when they do, their lights will change from amber back to green. Tech Dan warned me to keep them away from too much metal, to avoid interference. As soon as they turn green, you should now be hearing your iTunes track playing thruout your house! (If not, you may have to first close iTunes on your computer, then re-open it, and start a new track playing.)
The BOTTOM LINE: no, you don't have to purchase a separate Apple Extreme to be your base-station. Your ATT router--if it's running at the 802.11n standard--should be able to work with your Airport Express(es)!
My thanks to Sean and Cameron and Chris and, most especially, Dan, the Apple techs who patiently worked with me to get this system online.

I am GREATLY appreciative of this overview. Even though I don't understand a lot of it. I will keep working through. I am-- have for 2 years-- had terrible connectivity with AT&T's service & 2Wire router. My MacBookPro keeps dropping the signal. I'm talking every few clicks at times. Husband's PC drops it, too, but not nearly as much as the Mac. I'm sure what you posted can help us get better connectivity.

Firewall Issue with 1.5 and 2Wire 2701HG-B router/modem

I've set up holes in my router's firewall so that I can reach my G5 via ssh/ftp/http. And I am able to reach the G5 from computers outside the firewall by connecting to the router's IP address. But if I try to connect to that same IP address -- ssh/ftp/http -- from either of the two computers that are behind the firewall, including the G5, the connection fails.
This setup worked prior to upgrading to 10.5 last week but I'm not sure if this is an issue with my 10.5 (DNS?) or and issue with the 2Wire router/modem. I called 2Wire but they didn't have any suggestions.

I want to replace one of my older Airport Extremes with the new model. Any tips?

I have 2 older airport extreems that are connected by a network cable. They share the same Netrwork ID.
I want to replace one of them with the new model as I want to use the old router on another project.
Any tips out there for a no-issue switch?
Should the newer and faster Extreme be connected to the Modem or does it nt make a didfference?
Thanks

use the new router as your primary router with the modem - this will be a factory install from the default configuration - as long as you use same network name password and type a password that you used for the express in bridge mode, you should be able to plug it in and have it work like before. just make sure that you configure everything individually and then power all devices down and repower each one individually starting with the modem then the router in the express and that should work

I want to replace the music on my iphone 5s with a new itunes library

i couldn't find any answers on the forum, i'm hoping someone can help me... basically, i got a new laptop and instead of wanting to transfer my other itunes library from my old laptop, i decided to start fresh... i spent ages sorting all my new music out and itunes doesn' sync... i want to delete the music from my iphone and replace it with my new itunes library, i've tried pretty much everything, when i plug my iphone in and click sync, it skips through the 4 or 5 stages, the music never updates on my iphone. i'm really confused, i didn't want to click restore just incase i lost absolutely everything, PLEASE HELP
p.s. i already managed the accounts on itunes store and selected this computer, and my iphone, deleting my other laptop (so only this itunes library is active if that makes sense)

Xfintity router/modem with Airport extreme moderate/strict nat?

I switched to comcast xfinity and they gave me a modem with a router built in and we are trying to use the Airport Extreme to get better signal using Bridge Mode in Airport Utility. It all worked fine but then on my PS3 and Xbox 360 it says that I have a moderate/strict nat type any help on how to get a open nat?

Suggest that you double check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
Open AirPort Utility - click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Settings should look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save any changes
When the AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off.
These services are being provided by the Comcast gateway, so any NAT issues rest with the Comcast gateway. You may need to call Comcast support to ask them about changing the NAT settings on the device.

Actiontec M1424WR Router compatible with the new VMS1100 Cable Box

Hello all,
Been trying to upgrade to the new Quantum Fios. To begin Verizon never sent me a upgraded router that was compatible with the VMS1100 set top box.
They shipped me the Actiontec M1424WR Router looks like my old router but with a red front piece. I'm getting 75/75 service as well.
This is an older router still. In fact its not even in production anymore. My concern is that it's not going to work with the new VMS1100. Hate to go through the process of setting it up and it doesn't work.
Can anyone help and clarify if this older router will still work with the VMS1100 set top box?
Thanks!
Gene
Solved!
Go to Solution.

VMS will work with the Actiontec Rev I or the Fios Quantum Gateway router.

Can't get Time Capsule to access internet through 2wire router / modem with AT

I have internet service provided by AT&T Uverse. AT&T provides a 2 wire combination modem / router. My Time Capsule will connect to my internal network but will not connect to the internet. I have a steady green indicator light on the Time Capsule. Can anyone offer any assistance?

Time Capsule & AT&T 2Wire Gateway Model: 3800HGV-B
Instructions on connecting your Time Capsule to an AT&T 2Wire Modem Model: 3800HGV-B. I do know if these instructions will work for other models. Some 2Wire models require it to be set in “Bridge-Mode” or a “Router-Behind-Router”. The 3800HGV-B model does not have the ability to be put into “Bridge-Mode”. After hours of frustrating tech support calls, mine is finally working, so I thought I would share what worked for me. Why something like this isn’t already posted, I have no idea? Although I may not have all the terms correct, I think I can explain it in a way to help others the way I wish someone could have helped me. Something this simple, shouldn’t be so hard.
The Situation
Those with AT&T U-verse are unable to connect their Time Capsule to Network.
The Problem
Apple & AT&T’s Tech Support have failed to provide solutions.
The Solution
To configure the AT&T 2Wire with the Time Capsule the 2Wire must have its router disabled, in addition to disabling both the 2Wire and Time Capsule Firewalls. The goal is to get these two device to play well with each other. The challenge is that the 2Wire Modem is both a router and a modem. The Time Capsule is also a router, so they compete with each other, thus creating the headache many of us have experienced.
Step One: Create a wireless network.
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port on your Time Capsule.
Open Airport Utility, select Time Capsule, and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to create your new network.
Once you have finished the above steps, make sure your screens look similar to mine. Once you have the Time Capsule set up according to the directions, you still won’t have internet connection. Be sure there is a “checkmark” next to your new newly created Network.
The Situation
This above process should have set the Time Capsule in a DHCP mode, thus making it ready to receive the signal/ IP address sent by the 2Wire.
Step Two: Allow DMZplus mode
    Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.254/ This will take you to the 2Wire settings. Select Settings, click Applications, Pinholes, and DMZ. At the bottom of the page, select Allow all applications (DMZplus mode). Click Save.
Note: Once DMZplus mode is selected and you click save, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.
The 2Wire Wireless Setting must be disabled. You don’t want the 2Wire to broadcast its wireless signal. You must shut off the “Router” abilities of 2Wire. In the U-verse 2Wire Settings, select the Firewall tab, click Applications, Pinholes and DMZ. At the bottom of the page select the radio button which Allows all applications (DMZplus mode).
You will know when you are successful at shutting the wireless down by selecting the Airport Signal in the upper right of your screen. If you see a network called 2Wirexxx, then your 2Wire is still broadcasting its signal.
The Time Capsule is setup in the DHCP mode, but isn’t able to get the IP Address because there are 2 Firewalls to address. There is the firewall of the 2Wire and one for the Time Capsule.
Step Three: Disable the Firewall.
    One thing all the other tech’s missed, was unchecking the “Enable default host at”. Your screen should look like the below screen shot, because this disables the other Firewall that is giving you trouble. Be sure and Update after you make your changes.
    Once the changes are complete, turn the Airport off. Shut down your computer. Unplug the 2Wire and the Time Capsule and let them sit for 5 min. Next, plug the 2Wire up first and let it begin its reboot process. Then, plug in the Time Capsule and let it start to reboot. Finally, turn on your computer and open Airport Utility.
   Finally, after a complete reboot of the system, try to connect the internet. You should now be capable of opening your system and enjoying your online experience.
I hope this helps!

Fax: HP Officejet 8600 Plus (all in one wireless printer) OS: windows 7 64bit DSL Router/Modem

this is my second Wireless printer from HP. Main problem and only problem is that every time my phone rings the fax answers which is very annoying, hearing the tone while trying to answer the phone. I followed directions exactly. Have the fax set to answer on 6th ring...have auto answer set to off....yet it continuously answers when the phone rings. I've tried turning the printer off and it still happens...even when the PC and Printer are off it happens.
I am on a DSL line...share line with phone...have voice mail....have a home network.....
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Considering the fact taht you have tried turning the printer off and it still happens, I find it hard to believe it is the printer.. the fax should be turned off as any other functionality of the device.
Please try unplugging the phone line from the 1LINE port of the fax and try dialing to your phone line.. Can you hear any fax tone then?
If so, I affraid it is surely not coming from the HP device...
If you can see any change, replug the printer.. make sure you connect the cable into 1LINE and not into any other port by mistake...
Also make sure you connect the phone cable using an ADSL micro-filter.. make sure the printer connected into the Phone port of the filter and not into the ADSL port by mistake.
Please let me know of any change,

iphonefan1,
To transfer your information from your old iPhone to your new iPhone, you are going to want to do a few things:
1) Backup any information on the old iPhone to your computer. You can use Windows Address book or Outlook (2003 or 2007) to backup contacts and Internet Explorer to backup your bookmarks. You will need to import any pictures you have taken on the iPhone to your computer (they do not sync) or email them if you would like them saved. Sync your old iPhone with iTunes so that it will make a backup of your text messages and other preference information.
This article describes what information can be directly synced from your iPhone to the computer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306071
2) Take your SIM card out of your old iPhone and put it into the new iPhone. This takes all of your ATT account information to the new iPhone so that you will not have to run through a full activation again. You will have to run through a mini-activation, but all of your information will already be set up.
3) Connect the new iPhone into your computer. As part of the mini-activation process, iTunes will ask you if you want to restore your iPhone from the backup. If you say yes, then it will use the preferences from your old iPhone and put them on the new iPhone. You can then sync any information (contacts, bookmarks, photos, etc.) that you backed up on the computer from the old iPhone to the new iPhone.
This article will help you import the data on your computer to the iPhone:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305741
4) Once you are confident that all of your information has been transferred from the old iPhone to the new one, you can restore the old iPhone and that will put the software back to factory settings. That will also erase all of your old data. (This process cannot be undone, so please make sure you do not need any information off the old iPhone before you restore.)
Hope this helps!

Update 0VTF Route Determination with a new Shipping Condition

Hello,
I have created a new Shipping Condition to have a different route determination.
I have completed the configuration as Standard SAP procedures for Routes determination.
However, in order to apply this solution in production, it's going to be necessary to update the new "Shipping Condition" for more than 8,000 routes in Production environment.
Transaction: 0VTF
Table: TROLZ
According to the Abap team, the changes by CATT is not possible because the Transaction requires specific selection and "double click" functionality.
Using BDC and LSMW is not possible, since they had problem already in the past with both options.
I still have sent a message to SAP without any successfull answer.
Can you let me know if there is a Standard SAP solution for it or a BAPI to massively update the routes determination?
Thank you

Hi
You can use CATT to maintain the route determination. Use tcode SM30/SM31 to update view V_TROLZ01 for recording. You don't have to double click anywhere. Let me know if this works.
Thanks

Can I replace the motherboard in a late 2011 with a newer one

I've been cursed with the dreaded 2011 video card nonsense. I need a solution and it has to be out of pocket, I don't have Applecare. But I don't want to do it more than once. So if I could use a newer motherboard, it might save me some money in the long run.

You can certainly get a replacement board from Apple, but too many people have been stung that way, going through logic board after logic board.
The only real 'fix' for the problem seems to be a BGA reballing. Some have had failure even after a reball so make certain that you select a shop that offers at least one year's warranty.
Good luck,

Connecting Belkin N150 ADSL Router *** Modem with TimeCapsule

I have an N150 Belkin Wireless ADSL modem *** Router. I want to buy Timecapsule for automatic backup (for iPhone, PC, MBP) and to use the Dual Band
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router

Time capsule is not for backup of iphone.. there is no direct link.. apple uses itunes to backup the iphone, which can be either on your computer or icloud. Time Machine which is the smarts of the system is software in the Mac that will backup itunes to the TC. The TC is a hard disk in a router. .it has no smarts whatsoever.
A. Do you recommend buying Timecapsule or going for the cheaper option of an Seagate NAS? (and forgo the dual band)
Nobody but you can answer the question. TC is a more reliable unit for TM backup. 3rd party can work but lots of them have issues. Check via google if people have found the seagate NAS reliable for TM.. you need to use the exact model you want to purchase. The TC is not a NAS.. it is a target for TM backups by laptops. If you store files on it, there is no way to backup the files without using another disk, like USB drive plugged into the TC and manually doing the backup.
5ghz is much faster than 2.4ghz but has very limited range.. ie it is for use in the same room and perhaps the next one.. no further than that. For many people buying 5ghz turns out to be a waste of time, unless you can arrange the router in the room you are working in.
B. If you recommend buying, how should I wire the Timecapsule to the Router, so that I can make use of all the features and speed TC provides? Can I connect it in a way that the Belkin Router is used just as a modem and TC actually becomes my primary router
You can either keep your belkin as the main router.. and just bridge the TC.. that will not hinder its usage at all except for icloud where the TC needs to be the main router..
Or bridge the belkin and use the TC as main router. The ISP must support PPPoE authentication for this to work.. check your ISP.
