Put the modem in modem or router mode?

Hi,
Connecting an airport express via an ethernet cable to a Netgear DG632 unit.
This has the option of acting like a router or as a basic adsl modem. Which should I choose? Better to let the AE unit take care of the DHCP etc. ?
Look forward to your thoughts,
Ben

If you can only connect one computer at a time, then likely your DG632 is already in "modem mode".
That being the case, cable the Airport Express to the ethernet LAN port on the DG632. Make sure the Airport Express's router is enabled - in the Airport Admin Utility, the box should be checked next to "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT".
By the way - what were you referring to when you said "main airport (there is many)"?

Is there a way put the processor into a low power mode?

I cannot seem to find a way to put the MBP processors into High/Low modes manually... is this just not available?

If it's the same as PPC laptops, it will be under System Preferences> Energy Saver> Options. Choose Reduced mode. Hope this helps

Can VIP and Rservers be in the same subnet in ACE Routed Mode

Good Day,
Sorry for the lengthy post.
Currently I have a 6509s running in VSS mode with ACE30 in each chassis.
I have 5 vlans, which the VSS is the L3 interface for each. 1 Vlan is for management, the others are the data vlans for the servers.
The ACE is configured in bridge mode, with all VLANs going to a specific context (non Admin).
Some of the Host on each VLANs are not utilized for load-balancing. The default gateway for each VLAN is configured on the VSS.
I would like to setup the ACE in the routed mode, without having to change the IP address of each servers on different VLANs.
Basically I want to turn off the SVIs on VSS and move the L3 interface on the ACE Context, and let it perform the local routing for all the hosts.
I was going to add a new /30 L3 interface between the VSS and ACE to be utilized for default route traffic coming from the ACE Context, and static routes from VSS to ACE for traffic destined to host that are being load-balanced and not being load-balanced. Basically force the traffic through the load-balancer in/out.
For future deployment, I was planning on using different IP address for the VIPs, and Real servers (most likely RFC 1918).
From most of the examples I have seen the VIP and Rservers are in different Subnets. But because I am trying to not change the IP address of the rservers and VIP, I wanted to know if the VIP and Rservers can be configured to be in the same subnet where the ACE is in routed mode.
Unfortunately I don't have a spare ACE to test scenario.
As always any help would greatly be appreciated.

Raman

Link-local addresses are usually the self assigned IP address that a device will set when a DHCP server cannot be found. These are the addresses with 169.254.x.x subnet.
If the router is assigning IP addresses for your network, then they will usually have a different IP subnet, possibly 192.168.0 for D-Link. And this subnet would be for the wired and wireless connections. So it would be more a case of bridging the two network topolgies rather than routing them.
The network host is busy message could be more to do with the driver and the IP protocol selected when creating the queue than the connection being broken between the Mac and printer. If you were to open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, enter the IP address of the HP and set the pings to 4, pressing the Ping button will soon show if there is a path through the wireless to the printer.
If you get a response to the ping you could then open Safari and type the ip address as the URL. This would then connect to the internal web page of the printer and possibly let you enable an IP protocol like LPR so that you can use LPD on the Mac instead of Bonjour to connect to the printer.
As for the driver, you could look at using a Gutenprint driver instead of the HP driver or the hpijs package to get past the limitations that some printer drivers have with network connections.

I have been using 3 devices with my wireless network, and suddenly none of them work. I've tried turning off the modem and router but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I've been using iPhone, iPad and MacBook with my wireless network, and suddenly, none of them will connect. The first sign I had that there ws a problem was when I was asked multiple times to re-enter the password, but regardless of how many times I did so it wasn't successful. I've tried turning off and on the moden and router but that doesn't help. Suggestions please?

go into the routers setup and redo the setup like it have disabled the whole wifi system
how you set it up depend on the router you own consult the manual or go to the router maker's website

Installing wireless router, router works fine but can't configure the modem

I'm configuring a wireless network for my parents, and I can't seem to get it set up right on my parents desktop with Windows XP SP2.
I bought a Linksys wireless router (WRT54GT) to set up a home network, and set that up quickly. It's not having any problems, but I can't set the modem into bridge mode. I'm connecting to DSL using a Westell Wirespeed modem (C90-36R516-01) that is pretty old, but I don't see why there is a problem. I went to the IP 192.168.1.1 in my browser while connected to only the modem to configure it, but the server always times out. When I plug in the router, it goes easily to the Linksys' configuration panel.
The only thing I can think of it that I configured the router before switching to bridge mode.
I tried getting around this problem by configuring the router to dial Verizon automatically using PPoE, but I don't know if it's actually working correctly, and it still asks me to dial up when I start Firefox. Other computers on the network see the router, but don't connect to the internet.

One thing you should do is get rid of that Westell modem from verizon. Its junk. I replaced it with a DLink DSL modem and internet is faster. Not that this suggestion solves your problem.

How to put the Motorola NVG589 in 'bridge mode' (or as close as you can).

OverviewMost people don't need advanced features that personally owned routers offer and will be just fine using the NVG589 and turning off their personally owned router. But if you're like me (and I know I am!) then you are probably reading this thread because you have ip cameras, personal clouds, photo servers, guest wifi, VPN's, xbox, QOS settings, et al. I have an ASUS RT-N66U , a VIP2250, and a wireless reciever with a WAP; but your settings should be similar.  The NVG589 does not have a simple 'Bridge mode' setting so you will need to get into weeds to get this working. I hope you're ready. First StepsMake sure you have a laptop or a computer that you can connect directly into the NVG589.Unplug all ethernet cables from the NVG589 except for the one going into the aforementioned laptop.Write down the MAC address of your personal router (the WAN MAC address if you see different ones for LAN and WAN) Settings on the NVG589Login to your NVG589 by going to 192.168.1.254Go to 'Home Network' then 'Subnets & DHCP'. Your password is on the side of the modem.If your 'Device IPv4 Address' is the same subnet as your local router, I suggest changing it. I changed mine to 192.169.2.254 but you can stick with whatever you like / need. My subnet Mask remains at 255.255.255.0Change 'DHCPv4 Start Address' to 192.169.2.1 (or whatever your above Device IPv4 address is but with a 1 at the end instead of .254)Change 'DHCPv4 End Address' to 192.169.2.5, Just a few more than the Start Address. We need these for any WAP extenders for wifi TV's. It's important that you only have the laptop plugged into the ethernet at this point.Click 'SAVE' at the bottom.Go to 'Home Network' then 'Wireless' and turn wireless off. You want to use the wifi on your own router right?Go to 'Firewall' then ' 'Packet Filter'. Disable Packet Filters. Again, we want our router to do the work.Make sure you don't have any of your own settings turned on in 'NAT/Gaming' (don't worry if you see 1 in there already that you can't delete).Go to 'Firewall' then 'IP Passthrough'. For 'Default Server Internal Address', select or type in 192.169.2.1.For 'Allocation Mode' select 'Passthrough' (I had to do it in this reverse order to be able to type for some reason)For 'Passthrough Mode', select 'DHCPS-Fixed'Type in the MAC address for your router under 'Manual Entry', lowercase is fine.Click SAVE. It will tell you that it needs to reboot. Hang on for a minute.Go to 'Firewall Advanced' at the top and turn everything OFF.Near the top of your screen, you should see an option telling you to reboot the router. Go ahead and do this now. It takes about 2 minutes.Personal Router Settings.
Unplug your laptop and plug in your personal router while the NVG589 reboots. Plug your laptop into your personal router and login to it. For me, it was 192.168.1.1 (hence why I changed things above)For the ASUS RT-N66U, I had to go to my WAN settings, then 'Internet Connection'.Change 'WAN Connection Type' to 'Automatic IP'. This will give your personal router the external IP of the NVG589 and is the key to making this whole thing work. Some folks will have to manually enter in an IP and this can be found under the 'Broadband - Status' section of the NVG589 settings. If you don't have 'automatic IP' then I feel bad for you since you will have to manually change this every time your IP changes.'Enable WAN', 'Enable NAT' and 'Enable UPnP' is all set to YES for me. I recomend Setting your own DNS server. I use Google's but you use whatever you like. Google's is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4'Account Setting - Authentication' is 'None'.There are no Special requirements from ISP at the bottom.Hit APPLY at the bottom and your router will reboot.I also changed settings in my IPTV under LAN:Profile was None.Choose IPTV STB port, I set to LAN3 & LAN4. I plugged my U-Verse WAP for the wireless reciver into the NVG589 and I plugged the ethernet cable going to the VIP2250 into LAN3 on my personal router. I'm really not sure if this was necessary but I'm having 0 issues with this setup. I initially tried putting the WAP on my personal router but had issues so I stuck it back on the NVG589 and it's fine. I could probably just plug the VIP2250 into the NVG589 as well but I'm just enjoying the small victory of using my personal router for now. Hit apply at the bottom, another possible reboot.At this point, I checked the internet and everything was working great through the router. I restarted by 2 TV boxes (the VIP and the wifi ones). Everything is peachy. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.    EDIT to update WAP configuration.

a couple of notes I would like to make on this. for the most part it's correct. Bullet 1.) 192.169.2.254- I would not change it outside the 192.168.x.x class network specification. Doing this can cause some connectivity , DNS, and routing problems going outside the class.  Example (and yes I did this once!)-- I changed my base IP address to 135.153.1.1 as well as changed everything else. Everything worked ok till I do a traceroute or a path ping. This problem was really pervasive when on my iphone, speed tests would be way, way off, and wireless would sometimes have problems connecting. many times the first hop which should be my router didn't resolve properly and I also created other DNS problems (page can't be displayed, etc...) For this example I would stay within the confines of the wikipedia entry for private network.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network it states24-bit block10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 16,777,216
single class A network
10.0.0.0/8 (255.0.0.0)
24 bits
8 bits
20-bit block
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 1,048,576
16 contiguous class B networks 172.16.0.0/12 (255.240.0.0)
20 bits 12 bitsof course the common block everyone with a router uses.
16-bit block
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
65,536
256 contiguous class C networks 192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)
16 bits 16 bits
In this addendum I would say use
192.168.2.254 or 192.168.168.10.254172.16.0.1 or 172.17.0.110.20.1.1 or 10.30.1.1 Either or would be fine. Avoid the headache I created and stay within a private network setting. most DNS boxes already know what the private networks are. If you stay within the confines of them you are not adding frustration to your cause.    bullet 3 to bullet 5.) a tweak of subnets and IP's Now you can leave this at 255.255.255.0 /24 (default) which would give you 254 Ip addresses on that NVG589 to use. however if you are not going to use them just eliminate them. Much less work on broadcasting that the router will have to do. Since you are passing the IP right to your router anyway save the work for the router behind.for instance if you want a shorter range255.255.255.240 would allow 14 IP addresses total this can also known as 255.255.255.240 /28255.255.255.224 /27 This would allow 30 IP addresses total
what you essentially do is cut down on how many hosts you actually have. Essentually you are making the NVG (as well as any router made by any manufacturer) smarter buy giving it a short phone book to work with. An example below for the NVG589device IPv4 address: 172.21.0.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 172.21.0.7
DHCPv4 end IP address: 172.21.0.14
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 DHCP addresses available: 8Static IP's available: 5
Another example I would usedevice IPv4 address: 10.20.1.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 10.20.1.5
DHCPv4 end IP address: 10.20.1.30
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 DHCP addresses avaialble: 25static IP addresses available: 4
Another example using 192.168.x.xDevice IPv4 address: 192.168.15.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 192.168.15.5
DHCPv4 end IP address: 192.168.15.30
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 DHCP addresses avaialble: 25static IP addresses available: 4 Note: I do not count the base IP address as a useable IP (another headache I learned to avoid the hard way).    Continue on:  From the bullet point of Go to 'Home Network' then 'Wireless' and turn wireless off. You want to use the wifi on your own router right?I would continue on.  Final note:  I don't get here all the time to check and see who replied so if there is any questions please drop me a line as I don't come here very often.  Thanksdavid

BT Infinity - Modem and Router in separate rooms?

My house is somewhat unusual in that the master socket is in the loft. It has a faceplate splitter into which all the phone extensions and the ADSL cable connect. The plasterboard on the bedroom ceilings is metal backed and when I tried locating the Home Hub in the loft the WiFi reception was very poor. To get round this I extended the ADSL line from the front of the master socket using the CAT5 that runs from the loft into most of the rooms. This set-up is currently working great and the WiFi and ADSL performance are very good indeed.
What's I'd like to know is will I be able to use a similar set-up with Infinity? Ie extend the 'Infinity' side of the new master socket over CAT5 to the modem and router one floor below or (preferably) co-locate the Infinity modem with the master socket and run the modem - Home Hub connection over CAT5? The red BT Infinity socket on the back of Home Hub looks to be a regular RJ45 connection so I'm hoping the latter approach will work just fine, ie modem in the loft and Hub one floor below via CAT5.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The first suggestion is fine, but you will have to use a lead that has RJ11 heads on both ends. The DSL port on the Openreach modem will only accept an RJ11 head. (The DSL port on the new master socket will accept both RJ11 / 45. Your latter suggestion is fine and seems to be less hassle of the two. I've done it for several customers who've had LAN connections throughout their home.

Connecting Modem to Router

I just got Infinity 1 installed today. The modem is next to the master socket and is 10m away from the HomeHub router which is under the TV.
The default installation consisted of a normal ethernet cable from the modem to a square ethernet wall socket, then 10m of thick white cat5/6 cable to another ethernet wall socket, and then another normal ethernet cable to the HomeHub router. Seemed a bit over complicated for what I needed. I got them to not screw the wall sockets to the wall or pin the cable to the wall so it was more flexible in future.
So when they had left I tried connecting the modem and router using a single 10m shielded ethernet cable I already had and it seems it has synced at 39.9Mbps when I run the BT Retail speed test. That is the maximum I can expect.
Do the ethernet wall sockets do anything special or can I just replace that set up with the single ethernet cable permanently?

This is what they originally set up between the modem and router. Three cables. Obviously the sockets would normally be screwed to the wall next to the modem and TV and the white cat cable pinned around skirting boards and door frames. For me they were just lying on the carpet floor so seemed a bit unnecessary for what I need.
I've just replaced it with the single cat5 cable now. Wanted to just make sure I wasn't going to mess up any bedding in period by doing so. First day and all that.

Location of Infinity modem and router

I would like to change my broadband to Infinity but need to know a few things before doing so. The main OpenReach socket (the one with a removable lower section) is above the front door fanlight. From this box I have two wires (extensions) coming out from behind (nothing is plugged into the front), one, about 3-4 metres in length goes straight through the ceiling into the above bedroom to the router (Voyager 2500V). The other one goes to the sitting room and is a longer cable. I have also done away with the ‘bell wire’ so only two wires exist in both connections.
I would like to locate the new modem and router in the bedroom where it is at the moment. There is no way I can use a 13 amp socket in the hallway and have the equipment there. My questions are:
1. Will the current location of my router be alright for Infinity?
2. How many Ethernet ports does the Infinity router have?
3. Does the router have VOIP like my Voyager?
4. If Infinity misbehaves, is it just a matter of unplugging the modem and router and plugging in my old Voyager?
No guesses please, I need to know exactly before going ahead with Infinity.
Thank you.

Jonny
Thank you for your reply. I don’t want to sign up and ask an engineer when he arrives, I want to know before signing up.
Also, I’m not familiar with your terms, e.g. terminated phone cable, but I won’t ask you to explain them. To me there are three types of cable, a two-wire cable that runs from the master socket to a wall point, a telephone cable that plugs into a wall socket and an Ethernet cable that runs from the computer to the router. Are other types utilised by Infinity?
Further explanation of my wiring:
The wire from the rear of the master plug terminates as an extension in the bedroom where the micro filter and router plug in. It’s not used for a telephone, just the router. Can’t the new modem plug into this? Power points are not a problem in the bedroom.
I installed the cable about two years ago after acquiring a new type main box (the previous on worked but I was told this was better), at the same time I used just two of the 4 or 6 wires in both my extensions. The previous 40 year-old extension ran all around the hall skirting board, up the side of the stairs, around the landing to a bedroom. It had been painted many times and was almost brittle, that’s why I decided to go through the ceiling, under the floor boards and up to make a socket on the skirting board. It’s only a few metres long and I can easily take the carpet up, remove a floorboard and change the extension wire to any other kind of wire, e.g. an Ethernet cable.

Unable to connect after modem and router restart

Hi Everybody
Some times i don't get any internet connection from my cable modem (Motorola 5100 surfboard). In such cases, Time Warner cable recommends restarting the modem. I am connected to the internet in the following sequence:
Cable Modem --> Router --> PC
The way it should work:
Switch off the router
Switch off the cable modem
Restart the cable modem (all the lights should be on)
Restart the router
Connected to the Internet!
However, things don't work this way. If I connect the PC to the cable modem directly after the modem restart, I am able to get online
If I try to connect with the router in the middle, I get no connection. Usually, I have to follow this sequence (instead of the one above):
Switch off the cable modem
Re-set the Linksys router (loose all my settings)
Switch off the router
Restart the cable modem (all the lights should be on)
Restart the router
Connected to the Internet!
Re-configure the router manually to get back my previous settings
Need your help to figure out why a simple re-start of the modem and router (in that sequence) doesn't work and I have to re-set the router to get on-line
One more thing - I backed up my router configuration (Administration --> Config Management --> Backup) and after getting online, restored it. Thought It would work, but no luck. Couldn't connect via the router. Had to follow the above sequence (again) to get online and then manually had to re-configure all router settings
Rourter - WRT54G. Version 2
Firmware version - v4.21.1
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Step should be :
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Unplug the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
3) Unplug the router’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
4) Plug in the Broadband modem’s power cable and wait for its lights to appear stable.
5) Plug in the router's power cable once the modem’s lights appear stable.
6) Power on the computer on and test the Internet connection.

Turning Modem and Router off for two weeks?

Would it have an effect on my Infinity profile if I turned off both the modem and router for a couple of weeks?
I ask mainly due to concern about the Openreach Modem potential for overheating.

How to put the form in Query mode

Hello
Please let me know how to put the form or block in Query mode , so that when i run the form it should be in Query mode . I have seen properties of SET_FORM_PROPERTY and SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY but cannot find one
Thanks

QUERY mode? Did you mean, that you can only QUERY without changing data.
This is the QUERY-ONLY-mode, which can be started e.g. call_form
this is the help for that topic:
PROCEDURE CALL_FORM
(formmodule_name VARCHAR2,
display NUMBER,
switch_menu NUMBER,
query_mode NUMBER,
data_mode NUMBER,
paramlist_name VARCHAR2);
query_mode
NO_QUERY_ONLY (The default.) Form Builder will run the indicated form in normal mode, allowing the end user to perform inserts, updates, and deletes from within the called form.
QUERY_ONLY Form Builder will run the indicated form in query-only mode, allowing the end user to query, but not to insert, update, or delete records.

IMacs won't connect to the internet through a Double Router Network.

Hey guys,
I have 4 computers in the house, 1 is an XP system, 2 are iMacs running latest version of Leopard, the last is my Macbook Pro running latest Snow Leopard. The reason for the two router solution is as follows: The connection where the modem and router were previously was unable to broadcast a signal to the other side of the house (concrete). So I placed a wired router on the end where the modem is, and through cat cables placed in the walls, placed a wireless router on the other side of the house.
I have already set up the wireless router to become a wireless access point by turning the operating mode to router instead of gateway, and changed the internal ip to 192.168.2.x. All in all my macbook connects to the internet just fine through the router now turned access point and picks up the IP of 192.168.1.x (from the wired router directly connected to the modem), but the iMacs are picking up 192.168.2.x ips which have no connection to the internet.
I have tried to renew the DHCP lease (which should pull the 192.168.1.x since the wireless router has DHCP turned off) but it still wants to connect to 192.168.2.x. Any ideas or solutions to fix this?

hi i have read your problem but i can be wrong... because suppose to be your system have working before. i think can exist conflicts between modem ip address and router ip address. first disconnect your modem from your router put in your internet explorer 192.168.1.1 and if your router has password live user name area in blank. and put in password area admin and push return. when appear the setup menu ( must to be in basic setup menu by default) search the text Local IP Address 192.168.1.1 and let change for 192.168.2.1 and do click in save settings button turn off your modem your router and connect everything and turn on them. check if you get access internet service.

Bridge or Router Mode?

I have adsl modem asus dsl13 (mode adsl2+ ). Provider has a PPoE.
What a proper option for TC - bridge or router?

You can do either bridge on the modem and router on the TC.. or router on the asus modem and bridge on the TC.
There is hardly any difference in overall performance.. since adsl is the limiting factor here.
But a few things to consider.
Pro router in the TC
1. The TC is a much faster router than the asus, if you need speed. (For normal setup makes no difference)
2. The TC often behaves better when it is the router to clients running time machine. (TC should be main router in the network if you keep having issues and losing connection with it).
Pro router in the Asus.
1. The TC is peculiarly apple, and misses out some things important. eg QoS, very important if you are running voip phones, upnp, very important if you run gaming consoles.
2. If you run the Asus as the main router you have direct access to the modem stats. This is difficult behind a bridged modem.
3. You can run PPPoA, which is slightly more efficient encapsulation method if your ISP supports it. For many people the ISP does not support pppoe so they have little choice. Sometimes PPPoA is the preferred method by the ISP and is just more reliable.
For the vast majority of people there is no right answer. Pick what works for you.
