Setting router address

I access the Internet via an 802.11 Netgear router, which in turn routes packets to ISP-side gateway, and then on to ISP-run NAT.
The Netgear router runs a DHCP server, which assigns requestees IPs from a 10.222.139.* block assigned to me by the ISP.
ISP's gateway is at 10.222.222.254. The Netgear router is configured to give out the router address as part of DHCP lease. The Apple laptop I have seems to be ignoring the setting, insisting that the router is at 10.222.139.2, which is the static address of the wireless router.
I tried working around this bug by trying to specify the gateway address manually, but OS X seems to have the setting disabled when address is assigned by DHCP.
The issue is definitely Apple-related, as I have two laptops running Windows XP, a laptop running Windows Vista, and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux, and they all Just Work without me needing to change any of the settings.
How can I make an Apple laptop either do what the DHCP server tells it, or manually configure it to get the address from DHCP, and hardcode that parts it ignores so the Internet connection works?

What do you mean when you said: "As soon as I change the address under Router IP, and after that enter the new router address (eg 192.168.1.254), I get this phenomenon that I cannot login to the router anymore." Are you entering two addresses? You should only be entering one address.
Please follow this procedure:
1) Power down your entire network. Disconnect the WRT160N from all other devices.
2) Power up the WRT160N and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
3) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the WRT160N to reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
4) Power down the WRT160N. Connect one computer, by ethernet cable, to a LAN port on the WRT160N.
5) Power up the WRT160N and computer. Login to the WRT160N at 192.168.1.1 .
6) In "Network Setup", change the "Router IP address" from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
7) Change the "DHCP server" to "disabled".
8) Click the "Save Settings" button. Wait (3-60 seconds) for the screen to refresh. At this point in time, you will likely be disconnected from the WRT160N. Do not worry about this.
9) Power down the WRT160N and your computer.
10) Next, using an ethernet cable, wire a LAN port on your modem to a LAN port on the WRT160N. Leave one computer wired to the WRT160N. Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT160N.
11) Power up your modem, WRT160N, and your computer. It should work. Using the computer that is wired to the WRT160N, try to access the WRT160N setup page at 192.168.1.254
12) If you still have trouble, repeat above procedure, but give the WRT160N the address 192.168.1.2 , and see if that address will work.

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.

Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

Setting up AirPort Extreme/Router Address?

During setup, I am getting an "invalid IP address" error message. I have checked with my ISP and they have verified my IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DNS Server Numbers. They indicated that they do not have [use] a Router Address, and that I must obtain it from Apple. When I attempt to populate the Router Address field with the Ethernet number found on the bottom of the Extreme unit, it is not recognized (accepted) because it contains letters, not just numbers. This problem appears to be the only thing preventing me from successfully completing the set up. What is a Router Address anyway?
A solution to my problem will be much appreciated. I see from the volumes of questions being posted about AirPort Extreme setup that many are not simply taking it out of the box and setting it up successfully in "about five minutes" as advertised.
Thank you,
Dr. Eric

I tried what you suggested, and many other things. None solved my problem. However, what did solve my problem was downloading the latest (posted Jan 25) Airport Extreme update. Once I did that, I opened the AirpPort Utility, went through the setup process, and I now have an internet connection. When I went through setup, a router address was automatically assigned.
Thanks for you input.

Router address to make my wireless secure

My wireless has never been secure. I am trying to now make it secure but I can't find the IP address or router address for my Airport Express. I have checked the manual. I have searched the web. Any ideas?

When you say that you are trying to make the wireless secure, are you saying that you need to set up security and a password for the wireless network?
If yes, you need to use the AirPort Utility application for this.
It is already on your Mac, located as follows:
Applications > Utilties > AirPort Utility

Having trouble verifying remote routing address

I am trying to via powershell ensure that ADFS replication was successful.
After i enable the remote mailbox and set the remote routing address on the hybrid servers, i need to find a way to query the msol service to ensure that replication was successful before i can set the E3 license to ensure proper account creation and mail
routing...
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
I am able to query and make sure the account exists using this command before setting remote routing..
While ((Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $mailusers).userprincipalname -eq $null) {
New-Sleep -s 300
Write-Progress -Activity "Dirsync" -Status "Waiting for Dirsync to Complete"
But have not been able to find a property anywhere to ensure the next replication...

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but in the past, I've looked at the event viewer on the dirsync server.
This is an excerpt from some working code I have:
#Run Dirsync
$StartTime = Get-Date
Import-Module DirSync
Start-OnlineCoexistenceSync -Verbose
## Part 4 ##
# License the mailbox in Office 365
#Wait for DirSync to Finish

I can't access router address. "404 not found"

With my Linksys cable modem and wireless router hooked up and running properly, I can't access the router address. I get "File 404 not found" and "The requested URL was not found on this server. " It is the same address as in the Network Preferences window. The wireless router works great and all computers in the network have fast internet access but my boys want to "tweak" the port settings on the router and can't get to them. I've tried resetting the router every way possible but to no avail so I'm wondering if I don't have something
set properly on the network page of OSX. Any help would be appreciated.
Mac-Mini Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1 GB Mem, Pioneer DVR Dual Layer

Okay, sometimes routers go weird...so, unplug the router for at least a minute, then plug it back in. When it finishes the startup sequence, try logging in again.
If you ever do get in, there is a firmware update available for your router. The firmware might be corrupted (happens a lot).

Can't connect to ISP until ping ISP router address

I recently added a new MacBook (w/latest 10.5 updates) and had a lot of difficulty getting it to connect to our ISP through our AE. So much so that I reset our AE and re-entered all the information, creating a new network name and new network password. The AE is setup to share a specific ISP supplied IP address with a specific ISP provided router IP address and 2 specific ISP provided DNS IP addresses using DHCP and distributing a range of IP addresses for our 3 computers (2 airport connected MacBooks and 1 wired enet connected iMac). I also set it up to bind specific IP addresses to each computers MAC address using the airport MAC addresses for the MacBooks and enet MAC address for the iMac.
Now when I try to connect from the older MacBook or iMac (both of which are running 10.4.11) it may or may not work until I actually ping the ISP router address from a terminal app window. Once I've pinged the ISP router the connections seem to be okay for a while.
If I shut down the computer(s) and come back the next day I have to ping the router again before I can make a connection. I've not yet seen this problem with the new MacBook that's running the latest 10.5.
Any ideas why I need to ping the ISP router from the older (10.4.11) computers before connections can be made?
Have I missed some configuration step in the AE?

Thanks for your respond . I gave it a try and still didn't work . Here the thing I been messing around with the setting just to be sure I enter everything right I could of change a setting that I shouldn't of , now I'm not sure if everything is correct . Where is the guide or steps I can follow to be sure my setting are correct . I'm using cable connection . I know my pop and smtp are correct but I'm not sure as to whether the other areas are . I mean if this or that should be check .

Conflicting Information/Router Address problem

Now, I realize this topic has been discussed previously, however, it would seem that my problem has more to it than that.
When I plug my ethernet cable to my brand new airport express which i JUST bought today, i get an error telling me my IP address is invalid, there fore i checked one of those websites that tells your IP address and it turns out that the address i COMPLETLY different from the one provided in my info, therefore i tried chaning the IP address in the internet connection tab, but doing so demands a router address, which i have absolutly no clue what it is.
all updates are uploaded, the only thing i cant seem to update is version 7.1.1.
please, i really need help...

Looks like you're trying to extend your AEBSn network wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)--correct?
If so, then here are the steps to do so...
WDS Setup
(Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete.)
Main Base Station Setup (AEBSn)
- Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
- Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
- Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
- Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
- Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
- Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
- Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
- Click the Add button and enter the MAC address of the base stations you want to connect to this base station.
- Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
Remote Base Station Setup (AX)
- Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
- Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
- Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
- Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
- Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
- Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
- Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
- Enter the MAC address of the main base station in the WDS Main field. The MAC address is also referred to as the AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom of the base station.
- Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

What is a router address

and how do i find it??

Depending on your configuration, including router, settings,
and other hardware present, you may not need to input all
the IP settings; the internet provider's equipment often does it.
In your System Preferences> Network> you have to be sure
the means of going online is selected (by checkbox) and it
is dragged to the top of a list of possible ways to go online.
If you have a wireless internet card in the computer, the
AirPort item needs to be checked and given priority over
the others; and if you use Ethernet cable directly, then the
Ethernet item needs to be checked and given priority. More
than one can be checked, but efficiency indicates using one.
In OS X versions earlier than Tiger 10.5.x/10.4.x, the system's
preference panels may be named and laid out differently, so
this is a minor inconvenience in setting up internet access.
Connect to internet - support document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1714
Creating small Ethernet (+ airport) network:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1433
Which OS X version do you have, and does the router
support the computer you have? A newer router may
also need to be configured to work with an older 802.x
b/ wireless protocol, since the newer routers often also
support 802.11/n/g and may need to be configured by
wire (ethernet) if you can't do anything with the wireless.
A general search gives clues about a router and address.
' Mac OS X what is router address ' - google results:
I see some definitive results relevant to 'Mac OS X' in the
above, a more generic search would not include that name
in the search and then would cover all kinds of router info.
Your computer's Help in the Finder menu bar should also
list some items relevant to your computer's setup info.
Hopefully this helps you somewhat...
Good luck & happy computing!

Wrt110 wont let me set IP address

I'm replacing an older Linksys Wireless router with the WRT110. The old router had a hardcoded IP address of 192.168.199.142 mask 255.255.255.224 which is perfectly legitimate in terms of addressing. My entire network is set up with valid addresses and the same 255.224 subnet mask.
When I try to set the address and subnet mask in the WRT110, I keep getting this error:
"Start IP not in same network 129~158" which is completely stupid. If I use a different subnet mask, all traffic is going to get routed to and back from the default gateway instead of just going direct to the device.
How can I get the stupid WRT110 to accept this legitimate address????

"Start IP" sounds like the "Start IP Address" of the DHCP server. If you the LAN IP address to 192.168.199.142/255.255.255.224 the start ip address of the DHCP server cannot be the default .100. Thus, if you change the LAN IP address and subnet mask you have to modify the DHCP server start ip address either beforehand or at the same time.

HH3 Airport Extreme DNS / router address issues

I have a HH3 hard wired (ethernet) from HH port 1 to the small circle port on the Airport Extreme. The AE extends the network around the house via Airport express and we have done this by creating a new network so we can connect either to the HH or to the AEBS network. The AEBS is set to bridge mode but wrong DNS and router addresses are given out by both HH and AEBS when the AE is turned on (192.1.68.1.2 instead of 192.168.1.254). We can bypass the issue by setting these manually but would prefer not to have to. If I turn the AE off, the HH issues the correct DNS and router addresses. I am asking the same question on the Apple forums but not everyone there is familiar with the HH.

Bizarrely, having tried every configuration on the AE, reminded of something vofsanity said to me in a previous thread, I unplugged a powerline extender and the problem seems to have fixed itself!

What is Router Address?

Hello all
Setting up the new Airport Extreme Base station. I have one question.
In the Internet Connection menu, I changed it to using Ethernet and the Configure IPv4 to Manually.
I typed in the IP Address and Subnet Mask but I don't understand what is the Router Address?
Is that the Default Gateway?

The Internet Connection tab settings are used to configure the Internet or WAN-side of the router. In most cases your ISP provides this information automatically to your router when you select Using DHCP for the Configure IPv4 setting. When you choose Manually you would have to enter these values yourself ... which, of course, you would need to get these from your ISP.

Using a variable in netsh command to set ip address on NIC

hi friends
i wrote an script which gets an input & use that variable to set ip address on NIC. but actually it doesn't set ip address. may you please help me.
my script contains:
$VMNumber=Read-Host "please enter your VM number (for example 2)"
Netsh interface ipv4 set address NIC static 192.168.1.$VMNumber

1. I do not thing that the use of netsh is a right way.
2. You will need a table with MAC address in first column and IP address in second to correctly map IP address to computer. MAC addresses are unique identification.
3. Follow this article including comments and adapt scripts to your task

hi Milos
thank a lot for your useful answer.
but let me say that my need has nothing to do with MAC address.
in my test lab, i need an script which asks the administrators to enter their VM number & it saves this input as a variable & set is as the last octet in their VM IPV4 Address.
so can we tell it as a rule that variables we create in powershell, can't be used inside non cmdlets (inside legacy cmd commands) ?

I have an Apple ID with a single e mail address. I want to set multiple addresses in the same ID. Can I? If so how?

I have an Apple ID with a single e mail address. I want to set multiple addresses in the same ID. Can I? If so how?

Howdy there johnzcarp,
As I understand it you want to have more than 1 email address under your Apple ID. You can have what are called Alternate Email addresses associated with your Apple ID and this article will help you get those setup:
Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Alternate email address
You can add one or more alternate email addresses for use with Apple services such as Game Center, FaceTime, Find My Friends, iMessage, and OS X notifications.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
Add an alternate address:
Select Add Email Address, then enter your alternate address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
Edit an alternate address:
Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
Delete an alternate address: Select Delete next to the address.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

"command disabled" when setting IP address on AIR-LAP1252G-A-K9

Hi, I am trying to set ip address on cisco ap AIR-LAP1252G-A-K9 using the "lwapp" command but get message "command is disabled"
I am connecting via console cable to ap. I have already reset ap to defaults.
Not sure why I'm getting this error "command disabled" Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

This is a hidden command so don't try using a ? Since your ap is a 1252, like Rasika mentioned, use lawapp instead of capwap.... you need to erase the nvram.
The other way is this method:
Hold reset for over 30 seconds to get to ROMMON
ap:delete flash:private-config
ap:delete flash:private-multiple-fs
ap:boot
Your AP will be factory default
Thanks,
Scott
