Setting modem to bridge

I'm using a DSL modem from Broadxent provided by AT&T. Connecting using PPPoE. Just set up my AEBS. Not able to get to the Internet. I read from another thread that setting the modem to bridge mode might fix it. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks!

Have you tried contacting Broadxent's Support to see if you can download a user's guide for this particular DSL modem or to call them directly?

  • Setting up a bridge for solaris 10

    Hi,
    I currently have a dual boot for on my desktop (Solaris 10 and WinXP). I'm currently looking for a way to get online while in solaris, my WinXP install is on a wireless network but it's almost impossible to find wireless drivers for solaris so i'm trying to use my ethernet capabilities.
    I bought a wireless print server which has a bridge feature and i'm hoping to find some information on how to setup a bridge on my solaris install.
    Any help or direction will help me a lot since I'm very new to solaris. Thank you in advanced.

    I have a similar issue but have not been able to get this solution to work.
    I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n that is set up in bridge mode and connected to a DSL modem that assigns IP addresses.
    I wish to use a remote Airport Express (late 2008) 802.11n to connect via ethernet to a PowerMac without wireless.
    In summary I desire: DSL-ethernet-AirportExtreme-wireless-AirportExpress-ethernet-PowerMac
    I have reset the Airport Express to factory defaults and then set to "Join wireless network" and checked allow Ethernet clients. The Airport Express gets an IP address but any number of Macs I have tried will not get an IP address in DHCP mode (except a self-assigned one). I have verified that the cable works: when I connect the Macs to the Airport Extreme base station, they all get an IP address. All versions of firmware are 7.4.1. I have also tried checking and unchecking "Allow this network to be extended" on the Airport Extreme.
    Please help. Thanks

  • Airport Extreme needs to be set-up in "Bridge mode" ??

    I am trying to set-up a new intel iMac to a dsl service for my elderly uncle. The dsl people said that their system was compatable with OS 10.4.7 (which is installed) but that the Airport Extreme modem will need to be set-up in "bridge-mode." Can I do that? Where can I find instructions or help with that? When I queried "bridge mode" on this site I get lots of stuff with acronyms I don't understand and stuff about routers and wireless bridges and other stuff I don't understand... I really need help!

    Hi Buzz0432,
    I think, "yes" - and i think i saw it in the booklet which you get with the AE. However, i'm slightly unsure about this at this instant since i'm not at home where my mac-stuff is.
    i'll check on it and will report back lateron...

  • Cannot access DSL modem in bridge mode w/ Airport Extreme

    Hi
    I have the following setup:
    DSL Modem: Used in bridge mode + NAT/DHCP/Firewall turned off. Static IP is set to 192.168.2.1
    Airport Extreme: In PPPOE mode with Shared IP (which is selected by default): Distributes IP range 192.168.1.X with subnet 255.255.255.0. At this point, Airport Extreme's IP address is what it gets from the ISP, basically DSL Modem is passing thru' this to the AE.
    Ethernet cable is running from DSL modem to AE's WAN.
    In this mode, everything works fine and me and all others can use Internet fine...
    But the problem is that I can't ping/ access DSL modem at all in this mode. Basically, I need to login to the DSL modem to monitor my DSL connection quality (SNR, Attenuation, etc.) but whatever I tried I could not figure out how.
    Basically, I tried setting a static IP on the DSL modem as 192.168.1.3, this did not work. I read somewhere that it needs to be on a different subnet, so tried using 192.168.2.1, that did not work either.
    If I connect the DSL modem to a machine directly and set that machine's IP to 192.168.2.10, it can connect to the DSL modem, but there is no way I could access this DSL modem from the setup I explained above.
    I am simply out of solutions at this point and any idea would be appreciated.
    Thanks a ton!

    What you are asking about is generally possible but probably not with an Airport Extreme. As others have noted you SHOULD be able to access a DSL modem in bridge mode via it's "lan" IP address if you directly attach a cable to it and configure your computer with appropriate static IP settings (I'm assuming that in bridge mode the DSL modem has it's DHCP server disabled).
    This approach can also be achieve through a router with sufficiently flexible configuration options (e.g. openwrt open-source firmware). Basically the router attaches its WAN port to the modem like usual. Then the router is configured to do PPPOE via the WAN port while SIMULTANEOUSLY assigning the WAN port a static IP address that can connect to the modem's LAN address. Finally the router firewall must be configured to pass traffic from the DSL modem LAN IP back to the network.
    So your intuition suggesting that this should be possible is absolutely right. However; you can probably also see from the steps required why most modems simply (incorrectly) document that it isn't possible.
    Here's a link with some gory details on achieving this with an openwrt-based router: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=10952

  • How to set resolutin in bridge??

    it has been suggested that I set my resolution to 300ppi to help reduce im work flow.
    How do i set resolution in bridge??

    You don't set the resolution in Bridge. You either set in in Camera Raw or in Photoshop.
    In Camera Raw, edit the 'workspace settings' by clicking on the underlined settings at the bottom of the window and change the appropriate settings.
    In Photoshop, change Image Size (Ctrl-Alt-I), untick Resample Image, and change the PPI value.

  • I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

    I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

    Any warnings when opening the file?
    You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
    Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

  • I have FIOS and the latest version of the Airport Extreme Basestation set up in bridge mode.

    OK need some technical answers I have FIOS and am forced to use their Router. I have WiFi turned off on the FIOS router and my New version Airport Exteme Basestation set up in Bridge Mode. I have CAD 5 running to all my Mac computers and a CAD 5 up to the second floor. I have an older version Airport Extreme Basestation that I would like to connect to the CAD 5 cable on the second floor where the WiFi signal is weak as the main Airport is in the basement. How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode?  Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi? I will also have one Macbook Pro plugged into the upstairs Airport. This is mainly for the WiFi for my iPad and iPhone. Details will help. Thanks.

    How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode?
    Connect from a LAN <-> port on the Bridge Mode AirPort to the WAN "O" port on the second floor AirPort and then use AirPort Utility on a Mac or iPad to set things up.
    Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi?
    Nothing will be messed up, and you will have a much stronger WiFi signal upstairs.
    If you need more details on setup.....we need to know.....
    1) What model number of AirPort Extreme will be upstairs.  The model number is usually embedded in the foam base on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143.
    2) What operating system you are using on your Mac, or whether you want to use the iPad for the setup...assuming that the upstairs AirPort is compatible.

  • My Time Capsule is giving me a warning that  double NAT situation is occurring and recommends that I set it to bridge mode What is all this about please can it be explained in layman's terms and not martian thank you.

    My Time Capsule is giving me a warning that  double NAT situation is occurring and recommends that I set it to bridge mode What is all this about please can it be explained in layman's terms and not martian thank you.

    You have two devices....the Netgear and Time Capsule both configured to act as routers on the network. You only want one device providing this service.
    I suggest that you configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as suggested to eliminate the Double NAT error. Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be enabled in this setting.
    No other adjustments are needed and everything else will operate normally...and the Time Capsule will still be providing your wireless network signal.
    Once the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode, it would be an excellent idea to perform a complete power cycle on the network to allow things to reset properly.
    Just power off all devices on the network in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Start the Netgear device first, and let it run a minute by itself
    Start the Time Capsule next the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered backup
    The other option you have is to "ignore" the error and the light will turn green. The Double NAT error may...or may not cause some issues for you down the line. The next time that you update the Mac operating system, or update the firmware in the Time Capsule, it may likely change the Time Capsule to Bridge Mode automatically.
    If your Guest Network "disappears", you will know why this happened, and you will have to manually configure the Time Capsule again in Router Mode to provide DHCP and NAT services.
    Double NAT can also cause a slow down of web page loading. You may...or may not....notice this.

  • How do I set up Full Bridge Mode for port fowarding?

    How do i go about setting up Full bridge mode, for port forwarding on my Airport extreme's ? I Have two working to get coverage in my house, but I guess they need to be bridged together

    For most routers, including the AirPorts, bridge mode disables both the NAT & DHCP services. Since NAT is disabled, all of the firewall ports on the AirPort are open and thus port mapping/forwarding would not be reqiured. Therefore if you configure your AirPort as a bridge, the port mapping optios will not be available.
    Since you have two AirPort routers, you would only need to configure the AirPort that is NOT in bridge mode for port mapping to allow communicaton coming in from the Internet. This would typically be the AirPort attached directly to the Internet.

  • Setting up lwapp bridges on WCS, im confused.

    WCS 7.0.164.3  with a wism running 7.0.98.0
    I need to set up a bridge from building to building with a couple 1242's. Seems easy enough with the "bridge" mode option and all. WRONG.
    I change it to bridge and the AP goes into a reboot cycle saying "no mesh config file found" or the like.
    I have searched the forums for hours and found snippets here and there but no big picture about running lightweight bridges. I also found a whitepaper about how you can configure bridge groups from command line on the controller but not from any GUI..
    So the question remains, is it even possible to run LWAPP bridges and should I bother? Maybe autonomous would be easier...

    Scott,
    The "Bridge" mode you are referring to is for the configuration of Mesh.  However, you could use Mesh to achieve what you want.
    For starters, any Mesh AP has to have its MAC Address added to the AP Authorization List (Security > AP Policies).  If the Mesh AP is not authorized, it will not join the WLC.
    After that, you'll want to set the one closest to the WLC as RootAP, and the remote as MeshAP.  Then enable Ethernet Bridging mode on both APs.
    If you take the MeshAP now and remove its path to the WLC,  it should join through the RAP, and the switchport of the RAP should be able to trunk through the RootAP to the MeshAP.
    I'd suggest  Indoor Mesh Deployment Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_white_paper09186a0080b1c101.shtml

  • Modem 6100F Bridge Mode

    Hello Everyone, I currently have my modem in bridge Mode. My Modem is a Westell 6100F. It's connected to a Linksys Router Model : WRT120N. Everything is fine, internet connection is good. No problems.
    However there is one thing I'm having trouble. I tried connecting my modem directly to the PlayStation 3. The reason is that I want to play with a NAT Type 1. But that's something else. My Main concern is that why am I not able to connect my modem directly to the PS3. I get no internet access. In addition, I tried connecting my modem into another router ( a friend let me borrow his) and still nothing. It seems like my modem is only recognizing my Linksys router for some reason. I wont get any connection to any other devices, router, or even laptops when connecting my modem through the Ethernet cable.
    So in conclusion I can only get internet access through my Linksys. Why is that? Why am I not able to connect my modem to a different router? I need you help.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    This is due to either two reasons when your modem is in bridge mode:
    1: You need to establish a PPPoE connection from the device you're connecting up, which your Linksys router is configured to do. This requires the Verizon Username and Password tied to the Verizon account or in OpenPPPoE areas, a username and password combination (anything, really).
    2: If you're in a Western service area of Verizon otherwise known as ex-GTE, it's possible you're running on DHCP for obtaining IP address information from Verizon. For this, it's a case of you can plug a device into the modem/router but you must wait two hours to allow the DHCP lease to expire on Verizon's end before you can connect up another device. Many of these DHCP areas on the DSL network have been sold to Frontier Communications and subsquentially moved to use PPPoE or PPPoA authentication, but there are still a good amount of areas in California, for example that use it.
    Ultimately, those two things above are what are stopping you. You'll be wanting to Port forward on your router to get NAT 1 or use UPnP. Also make sure your router has updated firmware; sometimes newer firmware helps to resolve forwarding issues seen with game consoles.

  • 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.

  • Will tech help you set up modem to bridge mode?

    Just wondering if they will? Has anyone called them?

    Is your FIOS router set for WPA or WPA2 security?
    If the FIOS router is set for WEP security, you won;t get a connect as the D-Link 1522 supports only WPA and WPA2.

  • Please help. Slow & dropped wifi after putting ISP's modem in bridge mode

    Hi. Thanks for taking the time to read and/or possibly help out with my dilemma. I'm not very apple savvy (even though I love my husband's macbook pro which I'm typing on). Our warranty for our airport extreme is expired & this was given to us.
    Our service provider here in Winnipeg Canada is Shaw Communications. We have a fast connection - Broadband 50. There are 4 of us living here - 2 kids, 2 adults & we all have cellphones, computers, ipods etc using the internet by ethernet cable or wifi. Sometimes my son has 7 friends also trying to use it. Normally we have no problems, except to me the wifi seemed slow. So I made a couple changes & wish I hadn't & now things are all screwed up.
    So, this was our configuration. Our Shaw modem was SMC. It was connected by cable to my husband's Airport Extreme 4th generation base. My son's computers are connected by cable directy to the airport extreme. We used our phones & macbook wirelessly. I don't know if we were getting the wireless signal from the Shaw modem or through the airport extreme.
    2 weeks ago I called Shaw to get their new Gateway pvr system. I mentioned that somtimes the internet lags for my son playing League of legends or when I'm on wifi. He said that our modem was old & they could replace it when they came to install the Gateway system. On October 26th they took the SMC modem & installed a Cisco model DCP3825.
    The wireless seemed the same to me. But my son who plays League of Legends says the game's ping spikes go from 100 up to 700. Before they changed the modem, they were 50 to 90. He also kept lagging and getting disconnected from the game. We all looked online & called a computer place & learned that Shaw gives out cheap modems and the Cisco isn't a good one. So I called back Shaw & asked if they could bring back our SMC one. No they can't, but they can give us a new SMC one.
    Then I searched online for a better router for gaming. This was before I understood that the airport extreme is already its own router. My husband had set it up. I didn't even know what that white box in the basement was for lol. I read online that it's a good idea to get Shaw or your ISP to bridge your modem & use your own router to get better speeds. I phoned Memory Express & Shaw & they agreed.
    2 days ago I called Shaw & asked them to bridge the Cisco modem. The guy did, but didn't explain I needed to reset both routers. So we were without internet for awhile, til my son looked on his phone & figured out what to do. After bridging the Cisco modem, my son's wired connections are fine, but the wifi speeds went from 38 to 46 mbps to 3 to 11 mbps on my phone & the macbook. Sometimes the wifi drops out completely.
    I phoned Shaw to ask them what to do, but they said since the airport is an apple product they can't help me. They said we probably need to change the channel & to call Shaw for help. A call to Apple costs $60!!! I couldn't believe it. So I'm asking for help here.
    Is there some settings I need to change in the Airport Utility to get our wireless connections back to the way they were? Tonight I coudln't even update an app on my phone, the wifi was so slow.
    Should I get them to unbridge the Cisco modem? Change from the airport extreme to a different router? I was going to add another router, but was told it's not good to have the isp modem & the airport extreme & another router on the same network. I would like to buy the Asus N66u router, but can't afford it right now. I am supposed to go buy a used router off of Kijiji tomorrow for $50. It's a Netgear N750 WDR4300 - probably 4000 for Americans. Still sells for $100 to $140 new so it's a good price. Can I use that & the extreme?
    Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my long essay & for whatever help anyone provides.
