Netgear DG834G and Airport Extreme ?

I've done a few searches and I just need this confirmed ...
I've got a Netgear DG834G Wireless Modem router and an Airport Extreme and would like to get them talking to each other - which I thought I did last night ! - so i can have the ADSL connection in one room shared out over wireless to the AE connected to a G4 via one of it's ethernet ports ...
I have read that the Airport Express and a Netgear device is not compatible with Apple's WDS - does that apply to the Extreme as well ?
Is that correct as when I checked the log on the airport it had made a connection with the netgear but I couldn't for the life of me organise a proper network between them !
Any suggestions appreciated...
I've been using the Airport for ages so not a real newbie... BUT... getting them to do what I want is proving an interesting project !

Personally I wouldn't go for a USB adaptor as they are pretty ropey at best. You can get Wireless to Ethernet bridges that join an existing wireless network and provide an ethernet connection. They don't require WDS support as they pretend to be a client on the wireless network. Netgear even do one (allthough as you probably guessed I'm not a keen Netgear supporter).
The other possibility is if it is a G4 desktop that has PCI slots a Broadcom based PCI wireless card will be automatically recognised as an Airport Extreme card by OSX and can be picked up cheap on eBay.

IMac on Netgear X104 and Airport Extreme intermittently loses IP address

We have a Netgear X104 plugged into an Airport Extreme Base Station.
Another X104 (which carries network information through the household electrical wiring) is plugged in for a networked iMac with OS X v 10.5.4.
The network works flawlessly, but every few days, the iMac loses its IP address. All lights are working properly on the X104, indicating that it is seeing the network.
The only workaround on the iMac is to go to: System Preferences/Network/Advanced and click RENEW DHCP LEASE. The iMac then gets reassigned a new IP, such as 10.0.0.200 by the Airport Extreme.
The Airport Extreme, settings are as follows.
Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
Wireless security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: Provided automatically
Powering off and on the Airport Extreme and the Cable Modem have not fixed this recurrent problem.

Netgear DG834G and Airport Express

Hello,
Can anyone help me? I've just upgraded to a Netgear DG834g Wireless ADSL router. This is connected via ethernet to my G5, and my iBook and girlfriends Powerbook connect to it wirelessley.
Setting all this up took minutes. So far so good.
BUT, I cannot get this to talk to my Airport Express.
In the Netgear setup, I have added the AE to the 'Trusted' list (I used the MAC address on the side of the AE unit), but nothing will detect it.
I've tried using Airport Setup utility on both the iBook and the Powerbook but neither device can see it.
The amber light on the AE just flashes. I've even done a factory reset on it, but still no joy.
I've read through some posts on here and I can see that folks have managed to get these two devices talking to each other, but what I want to know is How? Have I missed something obvious?
Please help....
BTW, I'm using OS X 10.4.2 on all machines.
Many thanks

Panic over - the AE needed a hard reset, and re-configuring through Netgear set up, and AE setup utility.
All working fine now.

Netgear ReadyNAS and Airport Extreme

Hi, I just got my Airport Extreme up and running and very happy with wireless connection so far.
I have a problem - I can't seem to get access to my Netgear NAS attached by network cable to the AE base station. I can't even seem to find it on Finder. Got my whole life on the NAS now I can't access it!
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Terence

Does that work the other way? I have a 'Bell' wireless router that creates my home wireless network. I'm trying to use my Airport Extreme to 'extend' my wireless network into the basement, and plugging my desktop Mac comp. into that with Ethernet.
Are there lots of complications when trying to use an Extreme with other router brands?

Is anyone using NETGEAR Push2TV with a MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme and does it work well for you?

I am interested in buying a NETGEAR Push2TV display TV streamer to use with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme.
I saw on the Netgear site that a Intel Wireless Display/WIFI driver software is required for PC's; do we have this software installed already on our MacBook Pro's? Is any one using this box and does it work well for you, any problems or setup issues?

trying to find out same thing , store said works with new intel processor, My mini dont finding.....

Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

Gpcn,
I'm going to highly recommend the new Airport Extreme. I've been having all sorts of wifi and networking issues because of the saturated 2.4 GHz spectrum in my surrounding neighborhood.
I finally bit the bullet on friday night and purchased the Airport Extreme. I could not be happier!
I used to top out at around 8 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload with my older Linksys setup. Now i'm getting 40+ Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s respectively.
Not only that, but i'm no longer dropping my wifi with my devices (latops, iPads, iPhone, etc). It's very consistent and the speeds are amazing!
Sure it may be pricier than others, but it's worth every penny. The setup is very easy and you get Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices as well as built-in NAT support for security. You are better off getting the Airport Extreme.

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

Extending a network with Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme (via Belkin powerline)

Hello -
I've seen many topics about extending wireless networks here, but none seems to resolve the issue I'm having. I currently have a setup where a DSL cable modem is connected to a Time Capsule and I need to extend this network to another room using an AirPort Extreme.
I live in a very old apartment in Brazil and the walls seem to block the signal from one room to another, hence the need to extend it. Since wireless signal is very weak between rooms, I bought a Belkin powerline AV500 so I could connect both Time Capsule and AirPort using the electrical power at home (just installing a regular Ethernet cable between rooms is not an option).
I started with the basics: configure the Time Capsule + DSL as a standalone network, and it works perfectly within it's range. Then I connected the Belking powerline, plugged a MacBook via Ethernet on the other end and still got very good results (actually better speed than expected). Used it for a while with streaming and other network intensive tasks to make sure it could sustain the connection.
Finally, pluggned the AirPort Extreme on the Belking powerline and this is where the problems started. AirPort Utility 6.3.1 only gives me the option of extending a network wirelessly - it doesn't seem to give me the option of extending it via Etherenet (roaming), which is not good in my case. Luckly I had a copy of AirPort Utility 5.6 which seems to do the job (or I thought so), but it's still not working well.
Although I managed to configure both with the same name, it doesn't seem reliable and some devices (the iPhone 5, for example) are unable to connect and end up with a self-asigned IP address. I'm almost sure I'm doing something wrong on the setup, as I've seen a similar setup working before, so if anyone out there has any clue of what can be done, it will be much appreciated.
Attached the screenshots of both Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme configurations.
Thanks a lot,
-TM

Time Capsule:

Hello JuliaApple. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You have several ways to configure both base stations for what you are trying to do.
The simplest would be to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to "join" (AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network) your existing 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In this type of configuration the TC would perform as any other wireless client and not perform as a router. It will; however, still allow for both backups and sharing USB devices attached to it.

Can a time machine usb drive backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme*

can a time machine usb drive conected to my mac book backup the data from an external usb drive connected to and airport extreme ?

Hi Adam, if you think yoiur HD may be failing you could do a TM restore onto the new disk. I would rather see you do a clone either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.Of your internal drive. That way you have a bootable backup in case it does fail.
btw - what are the symptoms of your failing drive?

Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
Thanks.

Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?

Verizon DSL and Airport Extreme

I'm going to add aniBook (oe whatever Apple will call it by then) this spring, as I want to enjoy the wi fi fun like evryone else. My ISP is Verizon DSL, and I was wondering if anyone else here in the discussion board is currently using an Ibook with Verzion DSL and Airport Extreme. I think Verizon has a modem that supports both wired and wireless networking--which is what I'll need since I won't be retiring my iMac G5 anytime soon. So any adive or info would be appreciated.

I currently have the ActionTech Modem (supplied by Verizon) as my wireless router, but would like to replace that with my Airport Extreme. Can this be done?
You will need both. Since both supply NAT, DHCP services and WiFi Access Point, you will have to turn off all three of those in one of them. This is usually called putting the device in "bridge" mode. My recommendation is to turn off those features on the Actiontech modem/router/access point, turning it into a plain DSL modem, and let the AEBSn do all the 3 features (NAT, DHCP, AP).

Netgear DG834G and WPA

I am currently using a Netgear DG834G wireless ADSL router with WEP and a PowerBook G4. I am trying to use WPA instead of WEP but I am having no luck. I switch the router over to WPA-PSK and set a password, I then try and connect to it from the PB using WPA Personal but just get an error message on the PowerBook, 'error trying to connect to network'. Currently I have SSID turned off, the router has the latest software installed as does the PowerBook. Is it possible to use WPA with a Netgear DG834G and a Mac PB?
WEP is working with no problems.
Phil

I encountered this same problem on my Intel Mac when I did the upgrade to 10.4.9. My Netgear router worked fine before the upgrade. I haven't seen anyone with this problem on a G4 before, but there have been lots of reports of problems with Intels. Are you really running 10.4.1 as it says in your footer?
Anyway, here is the only workaround I have found: Go into the router and disable password protection. Mine now works. I'm hoping that Apple will fix the problem, but apparently hasn't happened yet.

Netgear DG834G and time capsule

I've ordered a Netgear DG834G and a Time Capsule. Since the Netgear has only G capability while the TC has N, I wonder if it will be possible to use the Netgear connected to the TC at its full bandwidth for HD sharing. I've seen similar posts on this board but haven't understood about this specific question. Thanks.

Yes, this can be accomplished and it is known as a "dual-band" network. You can set it up by either having the Netgear or Time Capsule (TC) directly connected to your modem. As an example, I will assume that you will have the Netgear connected to the modem. In this case, you will connect the TC directly to one of the available LAN ports on the Netgear using an Ethernet cable and connect this cable to the TC's WAN port. The TC will need to be reconfigured as a bridge to allow the Netgear to provide both NAT & DHCP services for both routers' clients.
You will then give each wireless network a unique Network Name/SSID and configure both to operate in different radio modes. In this configuration, "n" clients would connect to the TC and "g" clients would connect to the Netgear.

MacBook pro and airport extreme router. How to print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer

With MacBook pro and airport extreme router, how can I print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer? What is needed or what process?

You need to make sure that the HP has an updated printer driver that works with 10.6 for that printer. You can check here:

I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
To check and see if that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.
