No Connection to the cable modem/Internet with APX
Hi!
My Apple Airport Express BaseStation worked properly for some weeks - but from one day to the other, the ethernet connection to the cable modem doesn't work anymore. The cable modem is working properly, there is NO problem. I can connec to the internet vial LAN card of the computer without problems. But my APX has no connection to the cable modem. The flashlight is blinking orange.
I tried everything - hard reset, soft reset,..... but no change, there is no connectin to the cable modem.
Does anybody know what to do? Can the APX be defect?
regards,
flo
I found the solution: somehow an old and inactive dhcp-server and dns-server setting messed around with the settings. Once I deleted these settings everything started working normally again

Connecting Help using Cable Modem
I am trying to connect to the internet using a cable modem. It works fine on my PC but when I try to plug it in to my Macbook, I can't connect. First off I figured I could just plug it in and hit connect, or it would connect automatically. Because the whole reason I got a mac was because of the "easy-ness" surrounding them. So can anyone guide me to somehow connect.
The problem likely is not your Mac but your cable modem.
Most cable modems, for some unknown reason, lock themselves to the first device they see. This means that if your PC is the first device to use it, then only the PC can use it - it won't talk to the Mac at all.
The first solution is simple - power cycle the modem. This resets the lock so the Mac can use it (as long a the Mac is the first device), but then you have the same situation with the PC.
The better solution is to get a NAT router that can take the connection from the cable modem and share it between both Mac and PC simultaneously. As far as the cable modem is concerned, it only sees the router and the lock does not matter. Numerous vendors make numerous products that will fill this requirement. -
WRV54G connection to WCG200 Cable Modem ?
Has anyone tried setting up their WCG200 with a WRV54G?
I'm having trouble and I was hoping someone out there has done it successfully.
Here's what I've done/learned:
1. I've only had success connecting the vpn router with a straight-thru cable from the ethernet ports. (like hooking up 2 routers)
2. I've needed to keep the DHCP service on the cable modem in order for it to hit the gateway.
3. The VPN is set to router (not gateway).
What I've tried that DIDN'T work:
a) Used the WAN port on the VPN router to connect to the Cable Modem
b) Used static addresses instead of DHCP and configuring the VPN router to use the default gateway IP of the cable modem address.
c) Used separated networks like 192.168.0.x for cable modem and 192.168.1.x for VPN and change the subnet mask to 254.
d) Firewalls turned off; DMZ set to IP for VPN router
So, my network is like this:
10.0.0.1 - Cable Modem
10.0.0.2 - VPN Router
10.0.0.3~6 - PCs
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
All clients hooked through the VPN router which connects to cable modem uplink port.
DHCP on Cable Modem
VPN pass-through enabled
I'm able to get out from my internal network with this setup, but unable to QuickLink into it yet. It's functioning just like an ethernet multi-router system all on the same network, basically.
I've tried to use the Linksys default setup disk to setup the VPN in various conditions, but no go, and there's precious little help from the manuals for this case. Any ideas would be appreciated.HI , what you have done here is that by putting the WRV on the DMZ , you have opened all ports for the WRV.However , on the WCG itself all ports may possibly be blocked. Even though the VPN passthrough is enabled.
Try and forward the VPN ports on the WCG as well (1723,500,50,43-47,445) -
Help Please: How to connect to a cable modem?
Here's the deal: I'm getting a new iBook tomorrow I'd like to get an advance sense of what I'll have to do to get it connected to the cable modem that I'm using with my current Digital Audio G4.
Will the iBook self-configure if I have have it connected to the cable modem when it first starts up, or do I need to record the TCP/IP stuff from the G4 for use with the iBook?
Thanks for your help.Hi Paul,
If you have a firewire cable, that will work. Just start your G4 up in target disk mode. If you don't have one just connect the two with an ethernet patch cable. Unplug it from the modem and plug it into the iBook then turn on file sharing on both machines. On the iBook select Go>Connect to Server and click on Browse. Double click on the G4 and enter your user name and password (if needed).

I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
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).

I was working yesterday afternoon when the wifi suddenly went cold. Initially on the MacBookPro and on the ethernet connected PC. I reinitialized modem and TC through the mac and then the ethernet on the PC worked again and has since.
I've reinitialized both the modem and TC many times, as well as checked the cables. Moreover, I've tried to renew the DHCP lease, provide the DNS servers manually, erased all networks in Network preferences and in KeyChain etc. but nothing seems to work.
One strange thing also happened. I had two networks created, one for me and one I created for guests. The latter one just vanished, dissapeared without a trace.
I've tried from the café down the street and the Wifi worked perfectly well though a little slow, but that could be their connection not the Airport. Therefore, my I deduct that there is either something wrong in the TC or something went wrong in the network settings in the Mac. But that doesn't help to move forward and fix the darn thing.
The only thing I haven't done is completely reset the TC, but after reading a couple of help threads on different forums I'm confused as to how to proceed to get it back to worrk? Has anyone had the same or similar issue and found a solution?
ThanksEh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration -

For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?
Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK. -

Hoping someone can help with setting up my new time capsule. I am just switching from my extreme to the time capsule. I can not get the time capsule to go anywhere but to amber blinkiing. I can go back to the extreme and interenet works fine.
Here is what I did:
plugged in the ethernet cable from the cable modem
plugged in the time capsule power
Just cycles to amber blinking -- no internet connection
Tried pulling up the airport utility but it just shows my old extreme configuration and says that it is not supported anymore. Do not see how to display info on the flashing light.
I have gone back to the extreme three times and it seems to work fine.
I also repowered the modem in between trying to get the time capsule to workIs this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet. -
Older Airport express won't see the signal from the cable modem.
Older Airport express won't see the signal from the cable modem.
My macbook sees the AP express and I can stream music to it but no internet. If I plug the ethernet cable directly into the macbook I can see the internetAnytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -

i have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem.
it worked for about 8 months.
My kid pressed a button by accident and now it won't work.
the router just keeps resetting.
i unplugged everything.
conencted 1 computer, and everything is fine.
Received DHCP address.
Once i plug in a second computer it starts rebooting.
Both computers are set to DHCP.
NO internet connection is connected at this time for troubleshooting purposes.
Nothing is connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router (port for internet access), only 1 and 2 are connected.
i reset the router and still nothing.
i can connect 1 computer via wireless and 1 computer via direct connection and all is good. Once 2 devices are connected via direct connections it starts resetting.
i can even connect the modem to the router (for internet access), and connect to the linksys router via wireless from my computer and get internet access.
But once i direct connect 2 connections, the router starts resetting.
i have reset and reboot it with every combination i can think of.Its good that its working now.
If it happens again, try this :
Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE !!!
Do this when the computer os connected to the router with a cable.
than on the computer open Internet Explorer and in the Address Bar type : 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
It'll ask for the password. The default password is admin.
Once in the setup page. Click on the Wireless tab.
In there Change the Network Mode to mixed. And change the SSID to your name.
Change the Channel to 11. And Enable the SSID Broadcast.
Save the settings here. After that Click on Wireless Security and configure it accordingly and Save the settrings.
Than click on Advanced Wireless Settings. In there Disable the SES function.
What is the firmware on the router ?
