Modem and Airport all-in-one

Is there an Apple hardware unit that combines a Modem and an Airport All-in-one?
This would save energy, space and clutter.
Thanks

Unfortunately, no.

  • Wireless modem and Airport Express.. one at a time

    Recently my internet provider upgraded my old plug in modem to a newer wireless model. Now it seems that the current setting allow communication with only one or the other at the same time. If I want to be online with the wireless modem and send my iTunes music via Airport Express to my sound system, no dice. I have to either click on the modem up in the Airport choices to be online and listen to iTunes through the computer speakers, or go offline to listen to music through the sound system and Airport Express.
    I'm sure I'm just missing something in preferences or settings somewhere.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks, and Happy New Year!

    No ideas?

  • Connecting wireless modem and airport express

    I currently run internet with an old Motoirola Sideboard cable modem and Airport Express - previous version. All runs well. Now my Optus provider has upgraded my service with a Premium account for higher speed. They have also given me a free wi fi Cisco modem - DPQ3925. How can I replace my old Motorola modem and still maintain Air play etc with my new modem using Airport Express. I need to know exactly wire per wire help - please, if possible - Thanks
    Mac

    Hi - I have a similar issue.
    I have a new macbook pro, ATV (3rd Gen) and AXn (purely for Airplay of itunes).
    All three are wirelessly connected to my HG556a Huawei WiFi Router.
    The Macbook pro and ATV work fine and can see each other for airplay mirroring and itunes.
    The AX connects and comes up in Airport Utility (AU) and itunes shortly after you turn it on, but if you either dont use it or stop using it and switch to ATV or whatever it dissapears from itunes and AU says it cant find it. Randomly the light on the AX stays green the whole time.
    I have to switch the AX off and on to get it back working again (i.e. itunes and AU can see it).
    Following other forum posts I've set the AX up by hard connecting it to my router, setting a static iP and reserving ports 5353 and 3689 to that address. I've also turned off ipv6 or whatever using the networksettings Terminal code string. I have also repaired permissions with disk utility!
    It still dissapears from available options in iTunes and AU. ideas?

  • How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

    Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
    Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
    Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
    Click OK
    Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
    Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
    Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
    Click OK

  • Power backup for dsl modem and Airport Extreme

    Does anyone here have backup power for a dsl modem and Airport Extreme that is successful? I have a name brand power backup and when the power goes off both the dsl modem and Airport Extreme remain on; however, the network connection is lost so the fact that they remain on doesn't help. I have been unable to find anything about this problem on the internet generally and consultation with a well-known squad person has not helped. Any thoughts about this will be welcome.

    Yes, I agree. But since the backup power keeps the modem powered, why doesn't the dsl connection continue? The squad person I talked with told me that the speed with which the backup power units replace power during an outage is about the same across different backup brands/units (I don't recall the speed but it was in milliseconds) and should be quick enough to retain the dsl connection. Doesn't happen.

  • HT5767 how do I take all inbox messages [ 3000 ] and deleate all at one time ?

    how do I take all inbox messages [ 3000 ] and deleate all at one time ?

    Go to icloud.com, open Mail, then select them in batches (click the first message, scroll down, shift-click the last message) and press your delete key.  The server usually has problems deleting that many at once, so you should try a smaller number, say 500, and delete them in batches.

  • Using TimeCapsule with a Comcast modem AND Airport Express. Way slower after updates! What's up?

    I've been running this set up for two years now without a hitch.  Comcast Modem to TimeCapsule by Ethernet.  Then TimeCapsule to Airport Express via WiFi.  It used to work great because my TC was far away from my family room and the AE extended my network flawlessly. 
    After Mavericks and IOS 7.06 installations on my devices (iMac, Macbook Air,  iPhone, and iPad) my wifi seems to be moving at half speed.  I've rebooted the Comcast Modem and  TimeCapsule. I guess I should reboot airport express as well.  But I doubt thats the problem.  I was thinking of asking Comcast to change out Modems but this is a new problem only since updates. What should I do?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Marylyn

    Power off the entire network.....all devices....computers, printers, modem, TC, mobile devices, etc
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start the TC next and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one a time about a minute apart until the entire network is powered back up
    Check the network

  • Can I switch back and forth between DSL ethernet modem and AirPort ?

    I use Earthlink DSL connected direct to my iMac by ethernet cable from my modem and the service is very good . . . ever since I installed Leopard I noticed up in the top menu bar that AirPort is ON and usually shows 4 or 5 names listed and only 2 or 3 have the Lock icon . . . I have to assume AirPort is detecting signals from the apartments above and next to me . . . I do not need a wireless connection but I am curious to see if my iMac will actually join one of those networks so how do I temporarily try that and then go back to my regular wired DSL service ? . . . also, I may start renting out a room in my place and the girl will undoubtedly have either a Windows or hopefully a Mac laptop and will need wireless so I would appreciate advice on the best equipment to buy that both Windows and Mac laptops can connect to wirelessly . . . thanks in advance for any advice

    Yes you can. Just unplug your DSL modem and then go to your airport menu and try to connect to one of the networks taht's available there. To switch back, reconnect your DSL modem and connect as you usually do.
    Any wireless "802.11x" router (where x is "b","g", or "n") will work for both Macs and PCs. Practically all routers these days are compatible with every platform out there.

  • USB ADSL Modem and Airport Extreme?

    I have an ADSL modem that I use to connect my Powerbook, using a USB connection. I have now got an Airport Extreme Base Station. I have only managed to connect to my ADSL modem directly to my computer (sitting on an uncomfortable floor) if I want to use broadband; OR connect wirelessly to the internet with Airport but using the dial-up phone line.

    Main Q: How do I connect to broad band wirelessly?
    You will need a new ethernet equipped modem to connect to any router, either Apple's or another manufacturer. USB modems cannot be networked. There are adsl modem/wireless router combos, or you can get an ethernet adsl modem and connect it to any wireless router, or ethernet router with an attached wireless access point.
    Q1: Do I need to buy an ADSL modem with an ethernet
    port connection to connect into the base station
    Yes.
    Q2: if so, which one should i get?

    If you intend on trying to network using a usb modem, you are asking the impossible. Wireless networking is easy, given the right kit.

  • Time Warner Ubee U10C018 modem and Airport Extreme

    Using the equipment stated in the subject. I connect the modem to the extreme, after a few moments I get a green light, neither my iMac nor PC laptop can connect to the internet. The ip addresses that are assigned begin with 169. even though I have the extreme setup to assign the adresses 10.0.0.199 and .200 accordingly. I've never had a problem using the extreme in the other three places I've setup this network. Normally just plug into the modem and you're good to go. I've tried researching any known problems with this particular modem and have turned up nothing useful. Just curious as to where I start to look next.

    My previous response was faulty... Only one computer was getting an IP address..
    Here's what really worked, with 2 macbooks and a pc connecting wirelessly to the Airport Extreme, all successfully connecting to the Internet:
    1. Disconnect the ethernet cable and power off your modem (Ubee)
    2. Open Airport Utility, select your router (Airport Extreme), and press 'Manual Setup'
    3. Go to the 'Internet' tab, then under Internet Connection, make sure 'Connection Sharing' is set to "*Share a public IP address*"
    4. Under TCP/IP, Configure IPv4 should be set to 'Using DHCP'. All other settings can remain the default. Press Update.
    5. Power up your modem, wait for the Ready and Sync lights to go steady, then connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the router.
    Apparently, Time Warner only assigns one IP address per device (in the case the router), it's up to the router to distribute IP addresses to its constituents. I wonder why this doesn't happen automatically... :\ Let me know how your experience pans out.
    Peace

  • How to configure modem and airport extreme?

    I have a TP-Link modem/wireless router from the provider.
    My Airport Extreme is connected to the modem.
    The wireless router in the modem has been switched off.
    There is a 'double NAT' warning from the AE.
    How to configure the TP-L modem and the AE router to get the best results?
    Many thanks if some one could help me there.
    Gr. Lance

    Turning off the wireless on the TP-Link router does not make it a simple modem.
    You need to configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to operate correctly with another router on the network.
    Open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab a the top of the window
    Make sure that the setting for Router Mode is "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update to save the new settings
    Wait 30 seconds for a green light on the AirPort Extreme, then power off the complete network....all devices....in any order you want.
    Wait a minute, then start the TP-Link modem/router first and let it run a full minute
    Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
    Keep starting devices one at at a time the same way until the entire network is back up.

  • Modem and Airport question....

    Hi!
    Everyone know Macbook have airport...
    So i have a modem ethernet Netgrear.
    I don' t want to buy a router because i don' t want 2 wireless hotspots (my macbook is already a wireless hotspot thanks airport)
    Is there a way to find a kind of ethernet wireless key (so i can connect ONLY my macbook to my modem wireless) and connect all pcs and macbook in my house to my mac using my airport?
    Thanks in advance...

    Plug the ethernet cord from your ethernet modem into MacBook's ethernet port.
    That sort of defeats the original idea that the MacBook could be moved around like a mobile HotSpot.
    In any case it does sound like the original poster is overthinking this. Wireless routers are extremely cheap these days (I paid US$50 for a D-Link 802.11n wireless router), and keeping a MacBook always active (no sleep or shutdown) to serve as a wireless HotSpot is a new idea to me.
    I don't know of anything that would plug into an ethernet port as a "dongle" like a "USB key". Like I said, I don't know if there would be power. Even cable/DSL modems with USB ports usually have the "B" connector. I haven't heard of any type of dongle that plugs into a USB B port - and it wouldn't be powered anyways.

  • Should Iplace my ethernet switch between cable modem and airport extreme?

    I'm looking for the best placement of an ethernet switch in my home network.
    Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
    The current placement is connected to one of the AEBS outputs.
    I'm attempting to set up an old AE (802.11 a/g from 2004) with a different network name than my home network, that I'm trying to set up for a college dorm network and each time I plug the AE to the switch to confirm its functionality, my network gets a little confused.
    Help appreciated.
    Regards,
    jim P.

    Should I place it "between" my cable modem and my AEBS or connect it to the output from my AEBS?
    This all depends on whether you have a simple modem.....or.....a modem/router or gateway combination device.
    If  you have a simple modem, you cannot place the switch between the modem and the AEBS. The reason for this is that the modem can only deliver one valid IP address and it will be a matter of chance as to which of the devices connected to the switch receives it. The other device connected to the switch will not be able to access the Internet.
    If you have a modem/router or gateway type of device, you can place the switch after the modem/router and before the AEBS if you wish, although there is really no advantage to doing so unless this makes things easier for you in terms of hook up.
    If none of this makes much sense at all to you, leave the switch in its current location connected to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS since that setup will work correctly no matter what type of "modem" that you might have.

  • Connecting Motorola SB6121 Cable Modem and AirPort Extreme

    I moved into a new house a couple of days ago so of course the first thing that I needed to do was get the home wireless up and running. My ISP is through Comcast. I purchased my own cable modem (Motorola SB6121) instead of renting and used my own AirPort Extreme as the wireless router.
    First, if you're purchasing your own cable modem, you will need to contact your ISP and provide them with the HFC MAC ID on the cable modem. Once you've gone through the motions, you will be able to connect your Mac (in my case Macbook) directly to the modem via ethernet cable and access the internet.
    Issue:
    When I connected the SB6121 to the AE, I could connect wirelessly to the AE, but I did not have access to the internet. So, basically the SB6121 and the AE were not talking to each other despite being physically connected via ethernet cable.
    Solution:
    After days of searching for online answers and forums (and trying different solutions) I was able to successfully get everything up and running. Make sure that you have 2 ethernet cables available.
    Here are the steps.
    I restored my AE to factory settings just to keep everything simple. Here are instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728 Once you've restored your AE, make sure that both the AE and the cable modem are unplugged from their power sources.
    Plug in the power to the SB6121.
    Connect your SB6121 directly to your laptop via Ethernet cable. Test to ensure that you have internet accessibility by going to any website.
    Remove the ethernet cable from your laptop and plug it into the "internet in" jack in the back of the AE.
    Power up the AE.
    Connect your laptop to the back of the AE using ethernet cable #2.
    Launch a browser. You should now be able to successfully connect to any website.
    Assuming that you reset your AE to factory settings, it should just be broadcasting the generic "Airport Extreme" SSID. Disconnect the ethernet cable and connect using wireless to the SSID. Launch a browser and you should be able to connect to the internet.
    You can now use the AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort settings.
    I assume that this solution would work with any of the base stations.

    I was having the exact same issue tonight.  Just purchased the AE Model A1408 and haven't been able to maintain an internet connection on my iMac whenever I tried hooking it up via the Airport Utility application.  So after I had the SB6121 connected to the AE and the AE connected to my PC with no luck, I then went to the Network icon in System Preferences.  Clicked on "Assist me...".  Then clicked on "Diagnostics..." and followed the directions which basically had me first power down the SB6121 modem and power it back up.  Then I powered down the AE router and powered it back up.  At that point I was now getting an internet connection.  I then took my ipad 2 and went to the Wi-Fi settings and noticed it was asking me to setup a network through my AE.  I selected that and went through the simple steps to set up the network and password and now it all works.  I am a novice so don't ask me why but I now get a green solid light on my AE.  I can connect other devices wirelessly. I can still access the internet on my iMac.  For whatever reason, using the Airport Utility on the iMac doesn't work in my case and using my ipad to set up the wireless network did the job.

  • BigPond USB Modem and Airport Extreme 802.11n

    Judging by the information I have found I do not think this is possible, but thought worth asking regardless.
    I have a Telstra BigPond Wireless USB Modem (7.2) - is it possible to plug this into my AE base station to share with other devices?
    Thanks
    tkoe

    If you are thinking about a plain USB-to-Ethernet adapter (the kind used to get Ethernet from a computer's USB 2.0 port), it is not going to work.
    It may work if you can find a special device similar to this one, providing that the adapter manufacturer can guarantee support for the exact mobile broadband USB modem and network that you are using. If so, it should be possible to connect the Ethernet output of the adapter to the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station. I should add that I have not tested this.
    Another way of handling a situation like this is to use a dedicated mobile broadband router with support for the USB modem/network in question (basically, something like these exemples). Telstra/BigPond may be able to suggest something suitable.
