Internet through extreme and bob

Hi, once again I am stuck trying to sort out my network (am very new at this, may be the issue).
I have an iinet Bob modem running wirelessy in the study- works really well.
In the lounge I have a Samsung TV and Blu-ray player that allow for connection to the internet.
If I plug either one into an airport Express (which has the "allow ethernet client" tab ticked)- they connect to the internet immediately.
If I plug them into the Airport Extreme (on which I can't find an "allow ethernet client" tick box), then I get a message on the TV screen saying that the "gateway" is incorrect. If I plug a laptop into the Extreme, it won't connect to the wireless modem either. It also doesn't allow me to "extend your network".
However, if I look on the modem administration screen, it shows the Extreme, IP address, and everything.
Does anyone have any ideas? I seem to have bought the easiest working, most incompatible toys. Even Samsung seem to admit they don't have many connections for Mac.
Thanks for your time.

+How about changing the settings to include WDS in the set up? If I get the picture then, the Extreme can act as an "access point" to the network. Will this work?+
Apple's WDS was extremely limited as far as compatibility. The known list of compatible devices looks like this:
o 3com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router model 3crwdr100a-72 but ONLY with NO encryption
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
o Buffalo WGR-G54
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o SMC (one model - don't know the model number)
o Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)
+How about a firmware update or hack to open the Extreme? Seems silly it doesn't have the same functions as the Express in this area.+
Unfortunately, none that I'm aware of here.
+Another question for you: can I use an ethernet cable from the iinet gateway (thanks for the terminology) to the Express, set up wireless this way. And then extend the network to the Extreme in another room wirelessly?+
Yes, this will work. You'll need to setup the Express to "create a wireless network" and place the Express in Bridge Mode as the last configuration step for that device...
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet icon > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode).
Then setup the Extreme to "extend a wireless network" and the ethernet ports will be active in this type of configuration.
If you use the exact same wireless network name, security and password on the Apple devices as you have on your "main" wireless, you should have one large wireless network and devices will connect to the strongest wireless signal (usually the closest router) automatically.

  • Providing internet through router and still keep IP

    I have a problem with my knowledge about this not being enough
    The situation is this.
    I have two computers connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT59GX v.2. The internet is with a non static IP, so i have the computers on automaticly optaining IP and router on DHCP.
    From here i have two problems. One being is that without static IP's on the computers, i am having trouble getting the ethernet to work between the two computers, while still on the internet.
    The other problem is that i want to get my FTP (from when i had static IP internet provider) up and running again, and for that i need a static IP correct?
    Is there some way that i can get the router to connect to the internet (there is no logon procedure), and then share it between the computers, and have them have static IP's? And with that configuration, would it be possible to have an FTP running from behind the router?
    Thanks for reading and i would really apriciate any assistance.

    Let's verify a few things here. You connect your modem to the internet port of the router. That moment your router is the device that connects to the internet. The router must be setup to use DHCP to get an IP address from your ISP.
    Once you have the router connected this way it has nothing to do with your computer anymore or that IP address it has. The router creates a new private network on the LAN side. This private IP address range is 192.168.1.1-255. You do not log into the internet with your computer or ethernet card anymore. You simply set up a local ethernet connection. That's all. In most cases it is enough to simply plug in the cable and that's it. You do not log into your ISP from your computer anymore. If it is setup to dial automatically, you must disable that. The internet connection is always there as the router handles that now.
    Again: the automatic IP address setting of your computer has a different "meaning" once you are connected to your router as it is now about your private LAN and not the internet anymore.
    I suggest you configure static IP addresses as I suggested before. Also check the router's status page to see if it has an internet connection.
    And: you can run a FTP server with static IP, however you must change the port forwarding in your router each time the computer gets a different IP address.

  • TS3899 i have internet through telus and i can't setup my email on the ipad?

  • TS1253 I am connected to internet through  modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

    Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as  a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

    This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
    Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless.  Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
    Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
    In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
    The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
    So, do you really want to try this?  There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

  • Internet works Adium and Mail.app doesnt.

    I am at my parents house, and they have wireles internet through CableOne and a Motorola SBG600 Wireless SURFboard gateway, I can get on my wireless fine and at a good speed, but I cant get on Adium or get my email to connect with mail. Do you have any idea what the problem could be. The rest of my family have Windows XP and they dont have any of the problems just me and my Mac Book Pro.

    Thanks for the answer.
    The error is occuring with every pdf file attached to an email.
    I know, you don´t need 3rd party software. That´s why I posted this as a problem to the community.

  • My macbook pro doesn't connect to iCloud. It only connects to the internet through Google.

    How do I reconnect through the internet through Safari and Mail? It just stopped working today.

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network...  now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

    Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

    Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
    Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

  • Internet connection loss using Airport Extreme and Netgear DG843

    Hello,
    I am accessing internet via a Netgear DG834 router (not wifi), connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Most of the time, I can access internet through the Wifi network of the AEB without any problem. But around once a day I am experiencing connection loss and the only way I found to restore it is to reset the Netgear Router by physically unplungging it.
    Both the Netgear and the AEB have up to date firmware, so I suspect some kind of problem in my setup, as I am not an expert in setting up networks.
    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected to the AE (which is also a router if I understand correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    I am at a loss, and do not even know how to describe the relevant informations of my current setup. If a kind soul could help me nonetheless, I would be very gratefull.
    Mr Pedrito
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
    to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
    correctly) could cause connection problems ?
    Yes.
    Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
    Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

  • HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password.  What am I doing wrong?

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • Can time capsule connect to ethernet through airport extreme and then send wifi on a different band ?

    Hope this makes sense.
    At the moment, an Airport Extreme (n) is connected to a single wall outlet by ethernet and sends wifi signals at both 2,4 and 5 GHz.
    I would like to add a Time Capsule (also n), position it immediately next to or above this Airport Extreme and connect to the AE with a very short ethernet cable (so not extending the Extreme's wifi signal since that could reduce the signal's strength by half).
    This way both are connected to the internet by ethernet (the AE directly to the wall outlet, and the TC to the AE's ethernet out), hence both should be able to send wifi at full signal strength.
    In order to achieve full wifi strength I would then set the Extreme to (only) send at 2,4 GHz and the Capsule to (only) send at 5 GHz.
    Please note that the house has an open (loft style) floorplan, so there's no reason to position the AE and the TC at a distance from each other for wifi reach throughout the house.
    Dear Bob, what do you think? I've been reading up but didn't find a directly related post.
    Is this the right way to go about it?
    KInd regards.

    I would like to add a Time Capsule (also n), position it immediately next to or above this Airport Extreme
    The position immediately above is poor.. and next to each other is even worse.. you are blocking the antennas from one side or the other..
    Please  use a patch lead of around 2M (6feet) min.. and place them that far apart.
    very short ethernet cable (so not extending the Extreme's wifi signal since that could reduce the signal's strength by half).
    Having the devices link wirelessly causes the speed to drop by half which is caused by double hop wireless.. it does not reduce signal actually.. but you can have interference issues.
    In order to achieve full wifi strength I would then set the Extreme to (only) send at 2,4 GHz and the Capsule to (only) send at 5 GHz.
    Please note that the house has an open (loft style) floorplan, so there's no reason to position the AE and the TC at a distance from each other for wifi reach throughout the house.
    The gap between two radio transmitters is so they don't flood the receiver on the unit next to them.. It has nothing to do with the room. If I stick two transmitter/receivers next to each other they need some space. It is also to give full access to the antennas which are spaced around the sides on the older N models.
    You also cannot turn off one band.. If they are dual band models.. ie Gen3 AE and later. Gen2 TC and later.. they are permanently dual band. You cannot do anything about it.
    You can simply set the channels.. although auto should work.. there are 11 channels for 2.4ghz.. set one to channel 1 and the other to 11.
    At 5ghz there are heaps of channels.. set one to 36 and the other to 149.. or whatever is available.
    You are not going to achieve anything much doing this unless you have more clients than bandwidth.. ie both boxes can fully service internet to up to 10 clients.. maybe more if each band is used properly.. you will gain nothing using two routers next to each other.

  • No Internet via Airport Extreme and Speedtouch Ethernet DSL modem

    I've recently purchased a McBook pro and wanted to create a wireless network. I have a new Airport Extreme Base Station and have successfully set that up, but with no internet connection!
    I can get a perfect connection by hardwiring either of my machines to the DSL Modem directly (via Ethernet cable), but when i connect the Airport Extreme to the DSL Modem via ethernet there is no internet.
    After a bit of research i'm wondering if there is a "bridge" issue... though i have no idea what that means or how to resolve it. Can anyone help?
    Details:
    Airport Extreme 802.11n
    Speedtouch DSL Modem (Thomson ST510 v6)
    G5 Power PC Tower (10.4.11) will connect to the Airport Extreme via ethernet, currently connects to the DSL modem via ethernet.
    MacBook Pro (10.6.4) will connect wirelessly. can currently connect to the internet through the DSL modem via ethernet.
    Dynamic IP via ISP connection via PPPoa

    Hi Steven, I know this question has been answered and is a couple of months old but I think you may be able to help with my set up? I have a Thomson speedtouch 510 v6 modem router provided by Karoo (UK). My other Belkin N modem router has just bust [again] so the Speedtouch is my old faithful backup device. Now, i've never been able to get on ichat with the Belkin as its a mimo n speed and this is apparently not compatible; So i'm now on ethernet with the st510 and have just set up ports for ichat thanks to a thread called http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2719419&#2719419.
    What I want to know from you (because I really need a wireless router to get me off this ethernet support system and back on airport) is how you're getting on with the st510 / airport extreme combo now and can you use ichat on it? If so does your connection doctor say full cone in network settings or something else? As I say, I really want to use ichat and have never been able to in 3 years of owning my Macbook Pro. Hope to hear back from you Steven. Regards Steph

  • Can't get onto internet through my airport extreme!!!

    My airport extreme is connected to my network wirelessly. When I open the airport utility it sees the base station and I have it set up for the network. There is a green light on the base station, all seems well.
    Except when I connect my laptop to the base station through an ethernet I can't get onto the internet.
    When I do the network check there is a green light on the ethernet but for the network there is an amber light.
    When I go into the system profiler and check the advance settings for the ethernet using the DHCP this is what I get.
    IP: 169.254.192.90
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
    Router: nothing
    When I connect to my wireless network on my lap top I get.
    IP: 192.168.2.8
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.2.1
    I will admit I am no genius when it comes to computers or the internet. How do I get the **** internet through my airport extreme?
    Oh, and how do I find out the DHCP Client ID?

    IP: 169.254.192.90
    IP addresses in the 169.254.x.x range are know as "Self-Assigned" IP addresses. They typically arise when your computer, configured as a DHCP client, is unable to find or negotiate with a DHCP server.
    The fact that you computer can find the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) DHCP server wirelessly but not by Ethernet may be one of the following reasons:
    o The Ethernet cable or cable connectors are bad.
    o The Ethernet port on either the computer or the AEBSn is faulty.
    o The Ethernet port on the computer is not configured properly.
    Assuming the fault is the last item above, let's double-check your Mac's Ethernet settings.
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    o Verify that a Built-in Ethernet option exists. If it does not, click "+" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create a Built-in Ethernet configuration, the Ethernet card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    o Verify that Built-in Ethernet is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Advanced > TCP/IP tab
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Advanced > DNS tab
    o Verify that your ISP's DNS server(s) appear.
    Advanced > Proxies tab
    o Configure Proxies: Manually
    o Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    o Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    o Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    o Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)
    Ethernet tab
    o Configure: Automatically
    Oh, and how do I find out the DHCP Client ID?
    You would create the DHCP Client ID by entering a value in this field in System Preferences. (ref: System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP > DHCP Client ID)

  • My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

    I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
    I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
    I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
    Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
    I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
    I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
    Thank you all in advance

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

    I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
    Here you can see both routers:
    I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
    Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
    Would somebody explain it?
    Thanks,
