Internet through wifi while connected to different network by ethernet cable

HI,
Is there a way for my iMac (2012, OS10.8) to take internet from wifi connection (tethered to iPhone 4S) while it is connected by cable to a router that does not have any internet connection?
The reason for this strange situation is that the telephone wires coming into the house was accidental pulled off, so I cant get internet through the telephone wire. I have to rely on 3G through my phone. I just bought Sonos Play 3 and Bridge, and they wont work unless their firmwares are updated. In order to do this, the iMac has to be connected to the Sonos (either by wifi or ethernet cable) and the internet at the same time. Since I am using wifi to be tethered through my iPhone to the internet, I have to use ethernet cable to connect to the Sonos gear. Whenever the ethernet cable is connected to the iMac, the iMac wont receive internet date through the wifi/tethered connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Henry

Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?

  • Streaming to Airport Express while connected to different network?

    Hi all,
    Quick - and possibly trivial - question: is it possible (on a Mac) to use a non-airport express wifi router for Internet access and at the same time stream my iTunes library to my hifi-set via an airport express station?
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Sebastian,
    I have personal experience in this quest, though I didn't have a non-airport express for the wifi internet portion. In order for you to stream music from your computer, laptop or otherwise, you have to select the wireless network you set up with the Airport Express, thus taking you off the the wireless network you set up with the non-airport express router.
    I found this out a few months ago. Nice idea, but you can only be on one wifi network at a time. So, yes, you can stream music to the Airport Express, but then you will not be able to cruise the internet, simultaneously.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Connecting iMac to Network via Ethernet Cable and Airport Express

    I've tried reading through the various posts to solve this and haven't had any luck. Any help is deeply appreciated.
    I have an Airport Extreme as my main 'base' for our wireless network. I purchased an Airport Express today with the notion of using it to extend my network in the following way: I want to connect an iMac and a printer to the Express (using Ethernet and USB cables respectively) and have the Express serve as a remote for the Extreme base. I have found a number of websites saying this is possible, but none explain how to. I tried the WDS option, which failed to work. I later saw posts here saying that was not the optimal scenario. I'm afraid the 5Ghz/2.4Ghz settings combined with Airport ID addresses has pushed me past my competency!
    Thanks in advance for your help and a festive St. Patrick's Day!

    Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and concentrate on the AirPort Extreme to make sure that it is functioning correctly, can get an Internet connection, etc.
    A complete power cycle of the network is often useful when you have been making changes. Power everything off, order is not important.
    Wait a moment, (or wait 5-10 minutes if you have cable modem), then power up the modem first and let it run a moment by itself. Then power up the AirPort Extreme the same way.
    Check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    If the Wireless Mode setting is "Create a wireless network", make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Note the exact setting for Security that is being used
    Update to save any changes
    Post back when the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly as above and we'll tackle the AirPort Express

The last was equally useless and a little painful!

    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Pwer off and then back on yur router

  • After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

    After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

    I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks.  I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
    It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
    After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet.  Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running.  I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running.  Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
    Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access.  Other times it shows that it can not see the router. 
    Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.)  Restarted the router did not solve anything.
    All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine.  The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • If phone service is disconnected can the iphone still connect to internet through wifi?

    If I close my phone account with a particular phone service because I no longer need my personal phone, will my Iphone still work like an ipod in that it can still get to the internet through WIFI?  Or general what functions will the piece of equipment still have?  For example, will apps still work?

  • Error The PC and the printer are connected to different networks

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up my C4580 on my laptop, but I'm getting  the following error after the diagnostic test:
    The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(237DB2A87D and 66616B65). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name. 
    My setup is a Linksys router WRT546,  my laptop is conntected wireless to the router.  I have two other desktop computers that are directly connected to the router.  Both the desktops are able to connect wireless to the printer.  My router SSID name is 'Blair Office' with WPA security.
    I get a internet connect fine with the laptop, but can't get the new printer to setup.
    I saw another post that talked about 'Print the C45** Network Configuration Page', but not sure how to do this
    Thanks
    Diane

    This reply may be late for this user, but it might be helpful for any current users.
    I managed to change the modem's IP address to match that of the printer. In my case the printer worked fine wirelessly until I moved to a new place and installed a new modem. Here is what I did to solve the problem:
    1. At the printer, click on the wireless button, wireless settings, print network configuration page. This will print a page with the printer's IP address (in my case: 192.168.0.13)
    2. I accessed my modem via the internet browser, typing 192.168.1.1 (this is one of the default addresses (192.168.0.1 is also common). Default user and password is admin (usually). There I changed the modem's IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the range to start at 192.168.0.13 (my printer's IP address).
    3. I saved the settings (the modem will reboot and you will be offline, it may take some 20 seconds before the modem is visible again).
    4. Reconnect to the modem and check if internet is still working. Then try to install the printer again.
    This worked for me after I read several other postings.
    Good luck!

  • Please help!  I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe

    Please help!  I try to connect to the Internet but appears inscription There is no expansion of kernel PPP. Yesterday I used internet through the same connection- Dsl pppoe. Wi fi cannot connect too. On ipad and iphone it is work.

    That's odd.
    Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
    Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
    If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
    The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

  • I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

    Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable???  My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.
    You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.

    Make sure that the Att Modem goes to the netgear router via ethernet cable. Then connect your Apple Tv with a ethernet cable to the back of the net gear router. Airplay wants it to both be connected to the same device, usually.

  • Connecting HP Laserjet 500N using ethernet cable and router

    I had my HP Laserjet 5000N connected to my wireless router via ethernet cable. It worked fine. But then I changed routers and can't remember how to reestablish the connect. 
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    no problems.
    There is a priority order when multiple networking interfaces are available.
    Ethernet is higher than Airport in the order.
    If both ethernet and Airport interfaces are connected to the network, then ethernet becomes the primary networking interface.
    If nothing is plugged into the ethernet port, then Airport will get control.

  • I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

    Not without a player..
    The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
    There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
    A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
    Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
    You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.
