Move modem with an extended cable

I have just had BT Infinity installed. I need to move the modem and router about 5m (still attached to main BT phone socket) to improve the reach of the wireless router to all the bedrooms but the cable from the socket to the modem is too short. Does anyone know what kind of cable it is so that I can order a longer one? The modem is an Echolife HG612.

Hi Moorfoot,
Welcome to the Forum and thanks for posting. We would not recommend that you move the Infinity router as it's been installed by Openreach. If you really need in moved it's likely an engineer will need to visit to sort it out. I can arrange that for you if you want. Drop me an email to [email protected] with your account details and a link to this thread for reference.

  • Can I use the airport express as a repeater/range expander but without being connected to the modem with the ethernet cable?

    I have a mac pro (2010 mid) to set up the airport

    My 2003 Airport Extreme I guess does not provide this "enable extension of other Wireless Device" option in Airport Untility under "Wireless",  because it is too old?
    Correct. You will need one of the "square" AirPort Extreme versions if you want to do this.
    Another question, do I need to buy a new Airport Extreme to be able to extend my Wi-Fi signal with the New Airport Express I just bought?
    Yes, or another new AirPort Express. But, you cannot connect a hard drive to an AirPort Express. You can with an AirPort Extreme in case you were planning to add a hard drive.
    One last question, I believe I understood that if I have the new Airport Extreme and use it with my Airport Express to extend the Wi-Fi Signal, I will be able to do this without my DSL Ethernet cable connected to the Airport Express?
    The DSL cable will need to be connected to the AirPort that you designate as the "main" router on the network....assuming that you want to be able to connect to the Internet.
    The other AirPort will connect using wireless only....assuming that it is located where it can get a good wireless signal.

  • How do I use a Netgear CM400 cable modem with my Time Capsule router?

    I switched out my TWC modem for one I bought. I called and activated a CM400 Netgear modem with time Warner cable. They said it is activated and responding. My time capsule is on a green solid light but i can't connect to the Internet! Why??

    Your previous setup may have been a modem router and the TC is connected in the wrong mode.. it should be dhcp and nat with a pure cable modem.. is it?
    You also might need to put the TC into the correct mode.. then power off the modem for about 15min.. (try 5min first).. power up the modem.. wait 5min and then power up the TC .. it should grab the public IP and route that to the network.. reboot all the clients so they get fresh connection and see if that works.
    If not give us a few screenshots from the airport utility of how the TC is setup.

  • Using a configured AX with a different cable modem

    This is probably a dumb question but here goes:
    I will be traveling shortly and will be staying in a home with High Speed Internet via cable. However, there is no wireless network as the cable modem is connected to the owners computer using an ethernet cable.
    If I take my AX with me and connect it to the modem in the house via an ethernet cable, will I be able to use my current wireless network settings without having to establish a new network?
    It seems to me that I should be able to do this but I am not really certain.
    Thanks for your help

    If I take my AX with me and connect it to the modem in the house via an ethernet cable, will I be able to use my current wireless network settings without having to establish a new network?
    If you connect to a cable modem now, you should not need to change any settings on the AX. But, you will need to completely reset the cable modem at the home before you connect the AX to it.
    Push the reset button on the cable modem (if available)
    Power it off immediately and power down the AX
    Pull the battery (if easily accessible)
    Wait at least 15-20 minutes
    Connect the AX to the modem with an ethernet cable
    Power up the modem by itself and let it run a few moments
    Then power up the AX the same way
    Then power up computers and devices the same way.
    You'll have to completely reset the modem again when you disconnect the AX in order for the modem to recognize the owner's computer.
    In other words, whenever the device that is connected to a cable modem changes, you have to completely reset the modem first, or it will not associate with the new device.

    Hi Maryan,
    Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

    thanks,

    I do not know that camera, but with many, there is a set scheme for the connections, to get things to work. It seems to differ by make/model, but many have found that just by changing the order of turning things on, and invoking the Capture module, things will usually work.
    The connections are camera to computer via FW cable, then turn ON camera in proper mode, then launch PrE, then go to Capture. Users have found that their camera will require, say, plug-in, launch PrE, THEN turn ON camera, then launch the Capture module. As you can see, there can be variations in when one does each part of that chain, and it can make a difference. I would sit down with a pad and pencil, and test each possibility. If one works, that would be the scheme that I would then use.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - the only thing that I would NOT do would be to turn ON the camera, prior to connecting via the FW cable. That can cause big issues.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Can I playback a movie that i purchased in iTunes on my MBP connected to a projector with a DVI cable?

    I am trying to playback a movie that i purchased in iTunes with my Macbook Pro while it is connected to a projector with a DVI cable. It starts but after a few seconds it will stop the playback. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    I don't know your configuration or the source of the issue.  As long as it is normal playback it should work.  I have run output from a MacBook Pro to a TV set with HDMI and as far as the computer is concerned it is simply playing back the medium and doesn't care how I have the output rigged.  The TV simply acts as an oversize monitor.

  • Need dock extender cable that works with bumpre case

    Hi,
    Putting a bumper case on an iPhone 4 completely resolves the antenna issue (at least it has for me). The problem is that third party dock connectors such as my car charger won't work with a bumper case because the bumper case is made to exactly fit an Apple manufactured dock cable and the dock housing on my charger is to big to fit. Does anyone know specific extender cables (manufacturer and part number) that will work when the phone is in a bumper case?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I Had the same problem , went on this site to purshase dock extenders and cables

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

  • Trouble with Mac and Cable Modem

    Every time I turn on my Mac I have to reboot my modem. I have to unplug every cable and leave for a few minutes before I can hook everything back up. Sometimes I even have to plug my modem into a different cable outlet to reset it. Is this an issue with my internet cable provider or do I need to adjust a setting on my Mac. This is has become very aggravating and any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben.

    I am having the same issue I think. I have a Motorola hooked up to my Airport Extreme. The last 5 mornings I haven't been able to access the internet. Yesterday I went and checked the lights on the front of the modem and noticed that only the top 2 were lit- the third one blinked. So I reset the modem. Worked fine the rest of the day. This morning I booted up my MBP and same thing. Looked at the lights- the third light is just blinking. Called Comcast and they checked. Said my modem was 'offline' and not connecting. Said that it had gone bad- I suspected so. Not too long ago we had to replace the old Apple router with a new one so I was guessing that the modem was bad and they confirmed it. So I will be shopping for a new one. FYI- reset the modem again this morning after talking to Comcast and it's working fine. Just thought I'd chime in. Judy

  • Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion   3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

    Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have  3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

    The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
    BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

  • Extend wireless airport extreme with airport express with through ethernet cable, extend wireless airport extreme with airport express with through ethernet cable

    i want to extend my wirless range i using airport extreme upstairs and airport express down i have ethernet cable linking the two but airport express seems to go wireless and is extremly slow any help appreciated

    Start with a "hard reset" of your Express - press and hold its reset button continuously, about five seconds, until its LED flashes rapidly. You will need to reconfigure all its settings.
    Connect it to your Extreme with your Ethernet cable. Using AirPort Utility, configure its Internet Connection to "Connect Using" > "Ethernet" as in the following screenshot:
    If it had been previously configured to "join" a wireless network and you connect its Ethernet cable to your wired LAN, you may experience what you are describing.
