Well when you first get ready to connect that new router to your ISP modem, turn off the modem for at least 5 minutes. First power on you router then connect the port from the modem to the WAN (Wide Area Network) port of the router. At this point connect to the router via Ethernet and log into that router (look into the router's manual how to do that) and make sure it's getting an IP from the ISP modem. After you confirmed the router gets an IP from the modem then at this point you can setup the wireless & security. Just make sure all your devices that use wireless can use security and the highest use the highest security all those devices can use.
Lastly try to connect to the router's wireless network (while still connected via Ethernet so you can check the router to make sure it sees the your Mac). If it does then you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and then the wireless (Airport card) should take over the connection.

  • Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router w/ DSL Modem on Verizon

    Before I spend any money, can anyone advise if Verizon DSL is supported with the Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router w/ DSL Modem?

    Well, answered my own question. Went ahead and got one. Only had to clone the MAC address from the Westell due to the screwed up DHCP scope that is used. Works like a champ.

  • Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

    I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

    Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
    The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
    do I turn off DHCP on the router,
    No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

  • Setting up Time Capsule as router with DSL Modem as bridge

    Hi All,
    I want to work this out in my head before I start disconnecting wires. So let me run down what the situation and plan is. If you see a potential issue, I would appreciate the feedback.
    What I have:
    Verizon DSL. The DSL modem is also doing duty as the router. For a lot of reasons I don't need to get into here, I no longer want the DSL modem to be the router. I have gotten instructions on how to setup the DSL modem to serve ONLY as a bridge. In that configuration, you simply connect the DSL modem to the phone line as usual, then connect your router to one of the ethernet ports. My time capsule has been serving only as a wireless access and backup drive until now. So here is what I plan to do:
    1) Connect via ethernet cable, the WAN port on the TC to the ethernet port on the DSL modem.
    2) Using the manual setup screen on the TC, select the "Internet" tab.
    3) Set "Connect Using" to "Ethernet"
    4) Set "Connection Sharing" to "Share a public address"
    5) TCP/IP set to "Using DHCP"
    At this point, everything should work. At least I think it should. Am I missing something?
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks,
    R

    I haven't worked with the Verizon gateways, but configuring the device as a simple bridge might require that the Time Capsule be setup to furnish the PPPoE service. You won't know until you try.
    If you are not able to "Connect Using - Ethernet", then that would be an indication that you would need to instead "Connect Using - PPPoE". In this case, you'll need to enter your user name and password that you have established with the service provider in the Time Capsule setup configuration. Be sure to leave the Service Name area completely blank if you setup using PPPoE.
    If you are able to "Connect Using - Ethernet" and you configure the Time Capsule to "Share a public IP address", you may see a warning during setup that this is producing what is known as a Double NAT on your network. This is normally not too serious, unless you are trying to setup online gaming, which requires a different type of NAT setting.

  • Trouble using Airport Express Base Station with DSL modem, Router and Hub

    About 18 months ago, I had an Airport (802.11b) with WAN & LAN ports and modem hooked up to support two laptops, a Titanium Powerbook G4/600 and G3/400. The setup went from DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to Airport -> Hub (which had desktop and ethernet laser printer plugged in). The network worked fine.
    Then, I got a G4 iBook to replace G3/400. Wanted to get 802.11g to support “g” Airport card in iBook. Got a Linksys 802.11g Wi-Fi with 4-port router for $50. Hooked it up directly with DSL modem. (Couldn’t get it to send out to hub). Hooked the desktop and ethernet laser printer into Linksys Wi-Fi/router. The only way I could use the printer was by having it be a shared printer from the desktop. This was often problematic.
    Two months ago, I got a refurbished Airport Extreme Base Station. I can’t get the AEBS to interface directly with the DSL modem, so I hooked it up as follows:
    DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to AEBS -> Hub. I plugged my Epson 820 (USB) into the AEBS and can see it to print to.
    I have a static IP. That info is entered into Linksys router. Router set as Gateway, with DHCP enabled. AEBS is set to Connect using Ethernet, Configure using DHCP. Network setting: Distribute IP Addresses is unchecked.
    Here’s my issue:
    I can’t see the ethernet laser printer. It will occasionally flash available, but is gone in less than a minute. The printer is HP 2100 series.
    Sometimes I can connect to the desktop G4 tower; most times I can’t.
    I have checked and double-checked the cables.
    Both the printer and desktop are connected to the Hub.
    What can I do so that I can see the HP 2100 series printer and the G4 tower?

    Don,
    Thanks for the suggestions. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried this again, “just for grins.“ The six other times I tried this, I couldn’t get the AEBS to “see” the Internet. And lo, this time it worked. Here’s the setup now:
    DSL modem -> AEBS -> 4-port hub (which is connected to G4 tower and HP 2100 Ethernet printer). My USB Epson is connected to the AEBS, and I can print from the laptops. AEBS is set up: manual IP info, Network: distribute IP address; share a single IP using DHCP.
    When I still couldn’t see the desktop G4 and the Ethernet HP 2100 connected via the hub (not), I got a flash. I had swapped out the cable a number of times to no avail. Then I realized, the hub is old and all the cables I was using are the new CAT5s. I dug out an old four-wire with RJ45 connectors that my husband made years ago (probably a cross-over cable). It was quite an effort as the cable is 30 ft. long and wrapped around the perimeter of the office behind desks and file cabinets, entwined with all the other wires. But I plugged it in and, Shazam! I am WORKING!
    And, Don, thanks to you, I have eliminated the router from my gaggle of electronic boxes.

  • Setup 1941 router with cable modem and 2 vlan?

    hello everyone,
    i need a little help setting up my new 1941 router with cable modem using 2 vlns.
    this is what i have:
    1- 1941 router configured as g0/0 wan port facing isp configured as (dhcp). g0/1 is lan facing the switch (192.168.1.1)
    dhcp pool (192.168.1.x)
    2- sg300-28pp switch.
    3- wap371 AP/ 11pcs..
    now everything is working perfect except sometimes we have more than 250 to 300 people trying to connect to the wifi, the router will have no enough ip addresses.
    i heard that i can setup 2 vlans to solve this problem? and is there any setup that i have to do on switch and Access points? 
    please i will appreciate any little help 
    Regards 

    hello Andre Neethling  i added network 192.168.0.0 255.255.254.0 to dhcp pool config and it seems that it is working but i am concern that i am going to have problem in the future so please take a look at the running config and let me know if i have everything done right. also we want to order static ip address from the provider for our security camera system and we will not longer receive dhcp ip from them and my router setup is to receive it as dhcp on g0/0 so what i should do about changing the settings on g0/0?

  • AirportExtreme as wireless router through DSL modem on PC - not working.

    Hello all. I've searched through several forums trying to find something could answer my question, but nothing came of it. Hopefully you can help,
    Our family has just recently purchased 2 new macbooks (love 'em!) and have been able to join our wirless network (linksys wireless-g 2.4ghz). A few days ago, we purchased the AEBS to replace the Linksys, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it work. The PC run windows XPSP2, using a basic DSL modem. I've tried various methods of connecting the AEBS to my computer/modem.
    now, I read through the instructions to see that my PC must have a wireless card?
    Am I correct in assuming that the DSL modem and the AEBS work together to put out a wireless signal, and from that, my PC uses this wireless card to connect to that?
    I've tried doing a direct connection with my DSL modem and AEBS, where nothing is actually plugged into the computer. I use a USB wireless donlge thingy and it connects to the network hunky dory. However...no internet. The setup utility for the AEBS does everything all shiny but I am still not able to connect through my PC, or my macbooks. the MB's see the network, but no actual internet.
    Is there a way to directly connec the AEBS to my computer and modem without a wireless card for my PC?
    Thank you SO much everyones time!
    A mac newbie and wireless newbie,
    Ogo

    In that case I would configure your network as follows.
    DSL Modem -> WAN port of Airport Extreme Base Station
    LAN Port of Airport Extreme Base Station -> Windows PC
    The two MacBook Pros would join the network wirelessly.

  • Airport Expess with DSL Modem Router

    I had a DSL Modem Router with 3 computers plugged into it via ethernet and was working fine. I then replaced one of my computers with a laptop so bought an AE and plugged it into an ethernet port on the DSL modem router. It worked fine for about 4 days then all three computers internet connections went down. I have got the two desktops working again with the AE disconnected but am worried that if i connect the AE again the same thing will happen. Is there any way that i can avoid this from happening? is this because i am doubling up the routing if you know what i mean?
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    First welcome to the discussions,
    This isn't that uncommon, many of us expieriance drops in service and have to reset our systems.
    There could be any number of reasons that cause this from a Power Spike to surges from power company, to storms from wind and lighting.
    If you are lucky nothing gets fried and a simple reset will take care of the problem. Other times it can fry about any component and sometimes it's hard to find exqactly what is fried. If you are able to reset and get everything up and running again I wouldn't worry to much, I would consider a Battery Back-up to add to your Network to save your equipment though.
    Cheers and Good Luck.

  • Install RVS4000 with DSL modem / router combo?

    I'm trying to install a RVS4000 VPN router in our small office.  My problem is that AT&T has installed a Netopia 3347-02 DSL combination Modem / router.  So I can't connect the RVS4000 directly to a dsl modem, the only access I have is on the Lan side of the Netopia.  When I tried to set the WAN side of the RVS4000 to the same subnet as our Lan, it wouldn't let me do that.  I tried setting the Lan side of the Netopia and the Wan side of the RVS4000 to (the same) slightly different subnet, but that didn't work either.  The only way I can get internet access going through both devices is to connect the Lan side of the Netopia to the Lan side of the RVS4000, but that bypasses the VPN, correct?  The reason I bought the RVS4000 is for the VPN.  Is there a way to configure the RVS4000 in this situation, or do I need to get a plain old DSL modem without a built in router?
    Thanks, Scott

    Scott,
    You should not need to get another device to use the VPN functions of the RVS4000.  To setup the equipment you have, you just need to place the Netopia DSL router into "bridge" mode.  This will then allow you to connect the DSL router to WAN (internet) port on your RVS4000.  Once in bridge mode, your WAN port on the RVS4000 will receive its IP address from AT&T, which will then take over all routing functions, and enable you to use the VPN feature of this router.
    If your DSL provider is using PPPoE, you will need to select "PPPoE" on the WAN setup page of the RVS4000, then enter the username and password into the RVS4000 so that it can authenticate and get an IP address from AT&T.
    To place the Netopia DSL router into "bridge" mode, I am including a link to one of their user guides.  The section for placing it in bridge mode starts on page 107.

  • RV120 Bridged with DSL modem/router

    Hello,
    I am working overseas for a small company, trying to get an RV120 VPN router to connect to our network back home. Part of the problem is that I have to use a DSL modem here which is also a router, and so the WAN IP given to the modem is not the same one used by the VPN router.
    Do we need to create a bridge between the two routers so that the VPN router can use the WAN IP from the ISP instead of a DHCP address on the local network? Or is this the wrong approach?
    Any assistance is appreciated. I am a software engineer, not a networking/IT person so most of this is unfamiliar to me.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    The DSL router does have VLAN capabilities, would that help? I briefly tried the DMZ solution, but didn't seem to make any progress. So when using the DMZ, would the VPN router still have an IP relative to the DSL router (10.1.1.x, etc. in this case, if the DSL router is 10.1.1.1), or should it try to takeover the actual WAN IP that the router uses?
    Thanks

  • Can't connect LINKSYS router to DSL modem

    I'm trying to set up a WRT54GS2 Linksys router with a D-Link DSL-2320b modem.  Have a Westell 6100 modem that is going bad, so I bought the D-Link to replace it. Originally had a D-Link router connected with the Westell, but the router overheats often and has to be reset.
    I have been able to connect to the internet using the DSL-2320b modem only, but once I add the Linksys router I am not able to connect to the modem. The Linksys router came from a cable modem connection for which it worked fine.  I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that they both use the same IP, 192.168.1.1.  I have tried changing the IP of the modem, but still having issues.
    Any help will greatly be appreciated.  I'm still able to use my old setup to connect to the internet now, but the Westell shut down my phone line today and had to be turned off and back on.  I'm hoping to be able to replace this as soon as possible.   Thanks in advance...

    Connect the Mode to the router on the Internet port and the computer to the router on the Ethernet port..If the IP address of the Modem is 192.168.1.x then,change the ip address of the linksys router to 192.168.2.1 and power cycle the entire network and check...

  • RV110w wont connect with dsl modem for VPN

    Hello,
    I have bought a RV110w router and I also have a D-Link 320B DSL modem (which is replacing my standard Sky broadband router/modem) and I am having problems getting them set up correctly, firstly for the internet to work and secondly to use the VPN function on the router.
    The D-Link 320B DSL modem works when connected directly into my laptop via an ethernet connection, however when I connect the modem into the RV110w the internet will not work.  The dashboard on the RV110w says that the internet is "up" and gives an IP address but the internet does not work on any computer on the network.  Any help here would be hugely appreciated!
    After I have overcome the problem above I then want to be able to get the VPN working which I have also had no luck with.
    The RV110w is set to 192.168.1.250 and the D-Link is set to 192.168.1.1.  If I turn off DHCP on the D-Link I cannot then get access to the modem at all, the only way I can then get access is to hold down reset and go back to factory settings.
    I have been trying to do this for about two weeks now with no luck, no matter what settings I try it just does not seem to work!!
    Matt.

    Dear Matthew,
    Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
    In order to accomplish both needs, you would first need to configure the PPPoE and DHCP settings on the RV110 and set the D-Link for bridge mode only so that the xDSL negotiation is performed by the Cisco router and be the DHCP server for the LAN at the same time.
    You need to first configure the PPPoE parameters on the RV110; please refer to page 23, chapter 2 of the admin guide;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv110w/administration/guide/rv110w_admin.pdf
    The required PPPoE settings are provided by your ISP and you may also copy those current settings from the D-Link modem (unfortunately I cannot tell you where they are since I am not familiar with the 320B model).  You also need to set the D-Link for bridge mode since the PPPoE settings are now going to be entered on the RV110.
    To set the RV110 as a DHCP server please refer to page 31, chapter 2 on the same admin guide.
    You can have either a remote access VPN or a site to site VPN configured on this RV110, please check chapter 5 on admin guide. Notice for either one you would need to have static public IP addresses or a domain name provided by your ISP intended for a VPN tunnel, and in case they do provide you with neither one, then you would have to get a third party dynamic DNS service to accomplish this task.  I have personally used DynDNS and it works just fine.
    I hope you find this information useful and please do not hesitate to reach me back if there is any further assistance I may help you with.

  • Configure airport extreme with dsl modem

    Need Help-I have a new DSL modem CenturyLink Q1000z, that is providing wireless to my  home.  I want to put it in bridge mode and use my aiport extreme base station(square one).  Please explain how to configure it with aiport utility 6.0.  I will need step by step as I cannot seem to find it in any forum.  thanks

    I have a new DSL modem CenturyLink Q1000z, that is providing wireless to my  home.  I want to put it in bridge mode
    I suppose that it is possible that another CenturyLink user might have done this and will see this post...but at the same time it is also highly unlikely that this might occur.
    Your best bet may be to refer to the Support Site for Centurylink for answers:
    http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modems.html
    Once you have the modem in Bridge Mode, you can configure the AirPort Extreme as follows using AirPort Utility 6.0:
    Connect and Ethernet cable from the Centory Link modem to the WAN port (circle icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Open AirPort Utility 6.0
    Click on Other AirPort Base Stations in the upper left hand corner of the window
    Click on the AirPort Extreme
    AirPort Utility will take a moment to analyze things and then suggest that you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network"
    Edit the name of the Wireless Network and Base Station as you wish
    Enter a Password and Confirm
    Enter your user name and password for your provider's service
    Leave the Service Name area completely blank
    Set Connection to Always On
    Click Next
    When you see the message that AirPort Utility has configured your AirPort Extreme, click Done

  • Wireless non-cisco router with aironet 1242 repeater.

    Hello everyone. I'm a newbie here. I just started learning about cisco devices. Sorry if my question seems stupid.
    I have a problem. A friend gave me an AP aironet 1242 and he wants to use it as a repeater for his wireless non cisco router.
    Is this possible? And if it is how can i do it with simple steps.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the quick response Scott. I 've read this quide before i post.
    The problem is that i can't connect with serial to the ap. So i can't use commands.
    I can connect with ethernet and see the ap interface. When i go and make the radio0 work as a repeater it shows interface down. What i want is simple steps of how to configure it from the interface.
    Sorry again.
