  • How do I use the new Airport Express as an extender for a non-Apple router?

    We have an "Arris" router in our house and are thinking of buying an Airport Express to extend the internet. How can we use the Airport express as a repeater on a non-Apple router without having to use millions of ethernet cables?

    Apple designed their "extend a wireless network" to only work with other Apple routers wirelessly, so it would be extremely unlikely like it would work with an Arris wireless router.
    Your best bet is to always use products from the same manufacturer if you need this type of feature on your network to insure compatibility.
    If Arris does not offer a product for this purpose, a "universal" extender like the Netgear device linked below might be able to do what you want. It was not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network when I tested a device recently.

  • Can I Use Airport Express for Airplay and a non-apple router with streaming capabilities on the same network?

    I want to do the following things but can't find one device that fits all purpose.
    Wi-Fi router that has USB port to share external hard disk wirelessly to all devices (Mac, Samsung Smart TV, PC, Ipad, Iphone) along with inbuilt torrent download capability that also has a 3.5mm jack to do airplay.
    Greedy? Yes I know but why can't we have it all I ask.
    Airport Express severs Wifi Router + Airplay purpose
    Then there are other non-apple routers in market that satisfy my need to attach external hard disk and stream to the devices mentioned (Note: Timecapsule will not stream to my Smart TV)
    So I am thinking why not connect both Airport Express and a second non-apple router and get best of both worlds.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    can I use an airport express as a range extender to a NON apple router using an internet cable (so not wireless)

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name as the other router and the same wireless network password as the other router.

  • Can TC extend a non-apple router via wireless?

    I believe this ground has been covered by prior questions, but I just need to confirm before giving up hope.
    Can the Apple TC extend a wireless network that eminantes from a non-Apple router (in my case, UBee, Time Warner Cable)?
    Our cable modem enters the living room, where it is plugged via ethernet cord to the UBee router. The range just barely reaches my upstairs office. In a perfect work, I'd like to keep the TC in the upstairs office so that I can a) share our USB printer, and b) extend our network to the second floor.
    Is this possible? I get the sense that it's not.
    Thanks for all your help,
    Mike

    Not possible except with WDS.. which means far too many compromises.. wep security, G only wireless.. and a very good chance it won't work anyway.
    Use EOP adapters and setup the TC as a WAP and switch.. or run ethernet .. they are the best ways.
    Turn off the wireless on the cable router.. and plug an extreme or express into it.. TC can then extend wireless.
    Again this is not the best solution but is the one apple's bottom line really likes.. which is why the limitation is there.

  • Best non-BT Router for BT Vision Use

    Just a question thats been going through my head...
    Was the best Non-BT Router (Not HomeHub etc...) for giving a decent connection for BT Vision use??
    Im guessing it would have to support this QOS thingy..
    has anyone had any positive experiences using a Non BT Router over a longish line while not getting any BT Vision C01/V04 Errors??
    JC

    same as above I have used both netgear and Dlink routers with bt vision without any problems and have used a netgear router configured as an Ethernet switch (asdl and dhcp turned off ) connected to the homehub to extend the number of ports available.
    i am using a white homehub at the moment simply because i want to use the hub phone

  • Openzone and non BT router

    Having noted that a Homehub3 can be swapped for a non-BT router I am wondering what effect (if any) this may have in terms of Openzone / BTFon availability on the non-BT router (i.e. is it still available to other Openzone subscribers?). If not, then would this in turn mean that the non-BT router owner would be inhibited from using Openzone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    you can use whatever router you want only the home hubs radiate the FON /OPENZONE signal but providing you have signed up to FON you can continue to use openzone /fon

  • 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.

  • Non-wireless router

    does any know ..if Verizon offer a good non-wirelss router ...there Actiontec sucks.. i rather get a my own router to hook up to computor ..Verizon service ok but there equipment is lousy...

    A non-wireless router? A few simple ways to get one. First of all, the easiest and quickest way is to disable the Wireless Radio in the ActionTec which of course will restrict you to using Ethernet until you enable the radio again. If the ActionTec is giving you other problems besides the wireless though, the Westell 6100 is really the only other thing offered by Verizon that does not have built-in Wireless capabilities. It is a wired router in itself despite only having a single Ethernet port, though you will need to purchase a switch to be able to use it as a router for more than one PC/device. The routing functions can be disabled, so to speak by simply bridging the modem to your router of choice and setting your router to use PPPoE (which is in most Verizon DSL areas, some areas are DHCP though they aren't very common). Additionally, you could see if Verizon can send you a Westell 6110 if any are around, which are pure bridge modems. Lastly, there's always the option of using your own modem and router combination.

  • Airport Express (802.11n) as non-NAT router?

    I am considering to replace an old WLAN router by an Airport Extreme. For this, the Airport Extreme unit would need to work as a non-NAT router (my network consists of multiple independent subnets). I've looked through the (very helpful) discussions, but could not find a definitive answer to this question. So, can you tell me point-blank whether an Airport Express (802.11n) base station can be used as a *non-NAT router* (connected to subnet A via the WAN port, creating a different subnet B on the LAN ports)?

    broadwater, Welcome to the discussion area!
    No this can't be done. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can be configured to create a single subnet for all clients (LAN port or wireless) but in that mode DHCP and NAT are enabled.

  • Which non Apple Router to extend AX?

    Guys
    Spent some time many months ago looking into whether an AX can extend a network via WDS from a non Apple router. Anyway looking again now and all searches are saying this can't be done.
    Anyway I am positive I read there are one or two modem/routers - possibly Netgear and/or Linksys that can work with an AX to extend but can't find these threads.
    Is this now impossible? (new implementation of Apple WDS?) Was it once possible? (Just to confirm I'm not going insane).
    Cheers

    For WDS with non-AirPort routers the following, that were gleaned from the Internet, are known to work:
    o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
    o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    o BT Voyager 2091
    o Netgear WGR614 v6
    o Buffalo WGR-G54

  • TC as Extender for Non-Apple Router?

    I have given up on my TC as a wifi router and will be replacing it with a Buffalo AirStation N450.  I'm going to leave it connected to the network to continue to use its internal drive and I would also like to use it as an extender for the Buffalo.  Does anyone know if this is possible?  Has anyone used a TC or an AEBS to extend a wifi network from a non-Apple router?

    LaPastenague wrote:
    You cannot extend non-apple wifi.. with an Apple router. To make it clear the TC can be client of the buffalo but not repeater. That is also a poor way to do thing with repeating slowing wireless by half.
    You can use EOP adapters and run the TC as a roaming wireless access point. That is relatively easy.
    That answers the question.  An EOP adapter was my second choice, although using the TC to extend the network is less important than keeping its internal drive on the network for Time Machine backups.  I've never been satisfied with its wifi performance and I've finally gotten fed up enough with its wifi glitches to replace it.

  • Non existent route-map applied to redistribution

    If a non existent route-map is referred in a redistribute command . How does it effect ?
    Example configuration
    address-family ipv4 vrf VRF:MMS:MGD:XLC:190
      redistribute connected route-map MGD_XLC
      redistribute static route-map VPN_XLC
      no synchronization
     exit-address-family
    The above mentioned route-maps don't exist in the configuration

    Hi,
    By its very nature, this is an incorrect configuration. Different IOS versions may react differently to incorrect configuration. Therefore, do not take the results you find out on your particular router as a general rule.
    In principle, there are only two possibilities when you reference a non-existent route-map in your redistribution: Either all routes are redistributed indiscriminately, or no routes are redistributed at all. Now, in your case, checking the show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf VRF:MMS:MGD:XLC:190 and comparing it with show ip route vrf VRF:MMS:MGD:XLC:190 static and show ip route vrf VRF:MMS:MGD:XLC:190 connected should tell you right away whether any (that is, all) or no routes have been injected into BGP RIB from this VRF.
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Remote DVR - and Non ActionTech Router

    I would like to use remote dvr feature, however I do not (and would prefer not) to use the Actiontech Router.
    I have the ONT feeding my Netgear Gigbit Router over CAT5e cable. Connected ot a switch port on my router is a MOCA device to connect my COAX network to my DATA network.
    Please advise on what ports need to be forwarded to the DVR box, or what needs to take place for the remote dvr features to work with a non - actiontech router.
    If there router wasn't such a piece of junk (specifically the tiny NAT table, and slow throughput compared to others) than I wouldn't mind using it. I tried using it (and I play several online games) and it ALWAYS would cause me to lose internet connection after overrunning the NAT table.
    I would like remote dvr feature to work if at all possible.
    Thanks,
    Grant.

    Message that I am confronted with:
    Remote DVR Activation Failure
    Remote DVR is not supported on non-Verizon routers.
    Remote DVR service works only with the Verizon supplied routers and with no changes to the original setup. Since you are using your own router and/or firewall setup we cannot enable Remote DVR on your account.
    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    This is correct. The Verizon supplied router has special firmware to make the proprietary features work. I tried every port forwarding configuration I could think of. If you find a way then let everyone know. If you get it working with the Verizon router and place your own router in place of the Verizon router, the web site will see it and disable the feature. If you keep attempting to do this, the feature will go away from Verizon central all together. Do not expect tech support assistance if they get it working and you break it with your router. That is my experience. I gave up the feature.

  • How can I share printers using a non apple router, imac to ipad?

    Newbie in osx, but experienced in linux.
    My new imac has 3 printers setup for sharing, but ipad 2 / iphone 4 fail to see them.  I am using the belkin router that I owned already, instead of buying an Airport.
    I found a solution at askubuntu.com Q 26130 at http://askubuntu.com/questions/26130/how-can-share-my-printer-so-that-i-can-use- it-with-airprint
    I setup a linux machine on the network, with no physical connection to any printer. The 1st, an hp fax psc has a usb to imac, as the 2nd, an hp psc, the 3rd printer is an epson wireless, which is only connected on the network by wifi to the belkin router. I'm certain the imac "sharing" is properly setup, because the linux machine has no trouble finding the printers.  Only the ipad / iphone have a problem.
    Once I put the linux machine (with the above changes) on the network, everything works as desired.  I can print on the ipad / iphone to any of the 3 printers, using the built in Airport printer routine (not the epson or hp apps). And the imax and linux machines can also print on all 3.
    So, I suspect the imac isn't telling the router to display the printers on the network in a way that iOS can see them. I know it would work if I owned an Airport, but I'd rather not spend that much right now.
    I'm sure someone knowledgable in OSX might have an idea where to stick an Airport definition file, created from the python script in askubuntu, that could solve this without having to run the linux laptop all the time.  Any ideas?
    TIA

    It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers.  Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
    My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
    Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm.  Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware.  Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing.  On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list.  Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it.  Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
    Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
    Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.
