NH1005, only one device at a time connects to internet

I just switched my net to suddenlink cable (4mb/down, 512k/up) from a 756k clearwire broadband connection. I'm using the same network setup as before, all my machines set to auto-acquire IP and DNS addresses. Now though, I can only get on the internet with one device at a time, the other machines cannot find the DHCP server. I thought my NH1005 router had gone nuts, but that wasnt the case, went and got a new one at walmart and it does the same crap.. tried as well to access my router via 192.168.1.1, and even went in and tried using my gateway address to access my router.. both failed. I'm at a loss for what to do, especially seeing as how my old ISP just WORKED when i plugged it all in. Yes, i've reset my modem and all that stuff, many times, just at the end of my rope here. BTW my machines are a winXP laptop, and 2 playstation2's running Final Fantasy XI online.

hi..it seems that you have got a cable modem..and as NH1005 is a hub , only one computer can get connected at a time....
multiple computers can go online only if the hub is connected to a router...

Only one device at a time can access wireless

Whenever I access the wireless network at home with a laptop or iPod, it kicks my wife off of the iMac's access. Basically, only one device can use the wireless network at a time.
I'm not that comfortable with network issues, but I'm not a total noob either. It doesn't seem like this should be a problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Depending on your type of router & setup, read the troubleshooting manual, contact their tech support department, check your network settings through System Preferences, run the network diagnostic test if applicable.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
If using one of Apple's routers cross-post in one of the Airport Forums.
Also, search out your type of issue in Knowledge Base.

Only one device at a time.....

If my main machine is downloading an update or watching tv over the network it takes all the bandwidth stopping any other wi-fi device from connecting. The only wi-fi connections I have in my home are
Main Machine, Printer, Wii, Another Laptop and an iPod Touch.
So for todays world I would say not that much. I have spoken to BT Support, who do "something" but refuse to say what; which fixes it for a few days then it reverts back to normal.
I am getting sick of tired of speaking to someone who I can barely understand and just reads from a crib sheet and also sick of not being able to use more than device.
"For example I cannot play online on the wii (or watch online TV on it) if I am watching online tv on the machine downstairs. or the laptop stops connecting if someone is watching online TV on the wii or Main Machine)
Any ideas because I never had this problem with anyone else.

Only one of three computers can connect to Internet via Airport

My partner made a change in airport settings when a problem with the router came up and I only partially have it fixed. We have three different computers that have all been accessing the Internet via an 1st generation Airport extreme. The Airport is connected via ethernet to the cable router. One computer, the one that was used to set up the Airport originally, can connect to the Internet just fine. The other two laptops can "see" the Airport network, but cannot get an Internet connection. Do I need to reset the Airport and start over?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Your partner likely changed the AirPort to Bridge Mode based on the information in your post.
Check the following setting on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update to save settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to restart.
Then restart the entire network again.

Only one device connecting to the internet?

Lost power from Hurricane Sandy, internet would not come back online, replaced the cable modem, now one laptop connects to the internet but not the other computers or iPhones or iPad. Comcast is USELESS (most polite description I have for them).
My Airport Extreme shows Excellent quality on all devices connected to it, but the Internet (brand new cable modem Motorola SB5120) shows yellow, connection: Disconnected, but does have a router address for all but one computer which is able to connect to the internet via this network. I have restarted, rebooted, and reconfigured my network. Why is one device able to connect but no others? What are my troubleshooting options?
Thank you!

Only one device (the laptop) can connect to the Internet?
Or
Only one device at a time can connect to the Internet?
Power off the laptop that can connect
Power off the cable modem and AirPort Extreme as well
Wait 5-10 minutes
Power up the modem first and let it run a few minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next the same way
Power up the iPad and see if it can connect to the Internet

Time Capsule which will only let me connect to one device at a time. Anyone else experience this?

I have a Time Capsule which I use with a Macbook Pro and an iMac, as well as my iPhone and an Airport Express. It appears as though it will currently only allow me to connect to one device at a time. I had my MBP and iMac sitting side by side and ran Aiport Utility on both. The Time Capsule would only show up on one or the other but not both. Anyone else experience this? It was working great until a day or so ago.

It sounds as if your Time Capsule is in "Bridge Mode", which would only allow one device to connect to the Internet at a time.
To check......
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Check the setting for Connection Sharing
If it is "Off (Bridge Mode)", change it to "Share a public IP address"
Click Update to save your changes

Bluetooth acting very strange. Only one device works at a time.

HI,
I have a bluetooth device in my macmini. And also now have airport.
But it seems only one device can connect at a time.
But if a keep turning the 2 dvices ona nd off and mucking around with them then eventuly both work at the same time. One being an apple wireless KB the other a macmice wireless mouse. i have tried other mouses but same result.
Was wondering if anyone would know why this is doing this and mayb a fix.
any help would be great.

Instead of guessing, start playing mplayer and some flash source (youtube or whatever) and post the output of 'fuser -v /dev/snd/*'.
Is your mplayer using alsa? 'cat ~/.mplayer/config' might have the answer (if you use the config) or just check mplayer output:

Internet connection instable on only one device, via airport extreme

Situation
I have the strangest situation. In my setup, every device connects just fine with the WLAN. Yet, one iphone 4 is for periods of time losing internet connection whilst still connected to the WLAN.
Setup
I have my airport extreme connected to a Zyxel modem and set my airport extreme to bridge mode. I turned the WIFI off for the modem, and ON for the airport extreme.
All but one device have no trouble connecting
The following devices operate just fine:
Mac Pro [wireless]
Playstation 3 [wired into airport extreme]
Playstation Vita [wireless]
HP laptop [wireless]
my girlfriend's iphone 4
The problem occurs solely on my iphone 4.
Oddities
While me and my girlfriend have the exact same phone (not jailbreaked) and both just the latest version of iOS, hers works fine while my phone has this connection trouble.
The connection with the WLAN is never lost; I can communicate with other devices on the same LAN, it's just the internet that's not working for periods of time.
Workarounds
If I turn on the WIFI-settings on the modem directly to create another WLAN and connect my iphone to that network, the connections is stable again. The problem is just that the range of my modem is not as good as that of the airport extreme.
While it works fine in most of the house, in the bedroom my iphone receives 1 bar of signal. It however receives 3 bars on the airport-extreme network.. but as mentioned: with instable internet.
Help required
I can't seem to locate what the problem is. It's easy to suggest it's my iphone that is somehow broken, but then it's fairly odd that the problem is limited to only my airport extreme WLAN network. Yet, if the problem is with the WLAN network than why is it the only device that has trouble connecting to it.
Hopefully someone has a suggestion to what could be the problem and a way to solve it?

I have nearly the same issue. Using your template here is my situation.
Situation
I have the strangest situation. In my setup, every device connects just fine with the WLAN. Yet, one iPad Retina is for periods of time losing internet connection whilst still connected to the WLAN. Most often it happens on the YouTube app or downloading app updates.
Setup
I have my airport extreme connected to a comcast cable modem with no wifi (so airport extreme only).
All but one device have no trouble connecting (it's funny how close our situation is)
The following devices operate just fine:
Mac Pro 1 [wireless]
Mac Pro 2 [wireless]
Playstation 3 [wired into airport extreme]
Mac Air [wireless]
my girlfriend's iphone 4s
my iphone 5
Apple TV [wireless]
my iPad Retina (only issue)
The problem occurs solely on my iPad Retina.
Oddities
When the iPad is not working, all the other devices (phones included) work fine.
The connection with the WLAN is never lost; I can communicate with other devices on the same LAN, it's just the internet that's not working for periods of time.
Workarounds
My iPad is 4G so if I turn off wi-fi it works fine over 4g. NOTE: I HAD THE GENIUS BAR REPLACE THE IPAD LAST WEEK. NO CHANGE....

....I feel just a bit better that I'm not the only one.

Why is only one device able to connect to wifi?

why is it that I can only connect one device at a time through my airport extreme? Is this a WEP vs WPA issue? Help!

No I purchased them all from itunes store. When I move them over to transfer, only one will transfer and the others go back to the other side.

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???

If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

You need to give more info..
Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
Change it to working as a router. That might help.
If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter. The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again. Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.
Hope this helps,

Only One Computer at a Time on Internet

I have a cable modem (motorola) and using airport as my wireless router connected to my iMac. I have a MacBook and an iMac. Unfortunately, only one of us can be accessing the internet at a time. This was not the case before. If one of us is already online, the other just "times out" and cannot access the net. Is there setting I need to change in order to having us accessing the net at the same time? Thanks for any help you can provide.

1 - is everything set up to use DHCP - if you have any static IP addressing you may have problems like this
2 - restart everything - shut everything down including the Cable modem (unplug it) and the airport router and both computers
3 - plug the power to the cable modem and wait 30 seconds then restart the Airport router - after everything is up an running (probably another 30 to 45 seconds but watch the lights - when the cable modem in indicating LAN traffic you are up - then turn each computer on - either log into the airport router and look at the DHCP table and verify that both computers are there and have their own ip addresses or look at the network preference on each an verify that they have different ip addresses
If this does not correct the situation set your airport router to use the Open DNS servers for DNS - 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (I have to do that on COX to have Leopard happy)
