Switch 886 VA router modem to Annex B (German T-Com VDSL over ISDN)

Hi,
I'm using a 886 VA router to connect to T-COM Germany VDSL. Unfortunately, german T-COM are using VDSL over ISDN, so I have to switch the modem to ANNEX B. Initial setup of the modem is ANNEX A. I can hardly find any documentation for it. Did anybody do that before?
Cheers,
Werner

You have the right model and should be able to use Annex B using IOS indicated in the following document:

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

A bridge? A switch? Another router?

I had a internet modem connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys router (the wireless ability had been deactivated) and then I ran from the Linksys one ethernet cable to one Apple Express (N) and another ethernet cable to another Apple Express (b/g for some G3 Macs). The internet stopped working so I plugged the modem directly into the N Apple Express. I guess I need to get rid of the Linksys. What should I get to replace it so I can run the N and the B/G Apple Expresses again? A bridge? A switch? Another router?
Thanks,
P.Hyland

When you plugged your Express devices into the Linksys router, did you first configure them to act as a "bridge"?. In other words, the Connection Sharing setting in AirPort Utility must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode).
You would need to do this for both Express devices as follows:
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon at the top of the setup page
At the bottom of the next page, look for the setting for Connection Sharing. This must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode) whenever the device is plugged into a router.
Chances are, your Linkys is fine and the Express devices were not correctly configured to connect to the Linksys. If you connected the Expresses to your old Apple router (I'm assuming it has LAN ethernet ports as well), they will be configured the same way. So, whether you use the Linksys or the Apple, configure your Express devices as above.
So, your network will look like this:
Modem > Router > Express Devices > Computers can connect by wireless or they can connect by ethernet to the Router.

ISP Router/Modem Time Capsule - Optimal Setup

I've read many different threads on this issue but none have really address my question fully, so posting this in the hopes of getting some feedback.
I currently have an ISP that supplies a DSL Modem/Router that serves a dual purpose, provide me with internet and TV service. In Canada it's called Bell Fibe TV. Currently, I have the ISP Modem Wifi OFF, wired it to my Time Capsule and use it to provide Wifi throughout the house.
My question is related to all my other devices and whether they should be connected to the Time Capsule or the ISP Router. Time Capsule and Router are both located in the basement. I have my house hard wired with ethernet to the basement with 3 main outlets, one in the basement for my iMac computer/office, one on the main floor, and one on the top floor.
I have two 3 Apple TV's, one in the basement, one on the main floor and one on the top floor. I use a 5-port ethernet switch on the main floor as I have a variety of different devices there ie: Apple TV, TV Receiver Box, Sonos Player etc. I also have an Airport Express that is wirelessly extending my Wifi.
What is the optimal setup in this situation? I have my Time Capsule on DHCP with router mode OFF (Bridged). Should I be connecting the hard-wired ethernet cables that go throughout the house to the ISP Router/Modem or to the Time Capsule? Does it matter? In recent weeks, I've noticed some odd issues where my Apple TV will lose its network settings and not find the network.
Also, I noticed in BRIDGE mode, there's no way to setup a Guest account on Wifi.
Looking for any suggestions/help on this.
Thanks

My question is related to all my other devices and whether they should be connected to the Time Capsule or the ISP Router.
If the Time Capsule is configured correctly, it makes no difference whether devices connect to the Time Capsule or the ISP modem/router, since both the modem/router and Time Capsule are on the same network.
I have my Time Capsule on DHCP with router mode OFF (Bridged)
That is the correct setting for your situation.
Should I be connecting the hard-wired ethernet cables that go throughout the house to the ISP Router/Modem or to the Time Capsule?
See answer above.
The best practice, wiring wise, would be to connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <--> ports on the modem/router to an Ethernet switch. Then connect the Time Capsule and all other Ethernet connections to the switch.
Performance will not be any better this way, but the network layout and troubleshooting are easier in this type of setup. If you do not want to add a switch, then connect to the most convenient port on either the modem/router or Time Capsule.
Also, I noticed in BRIDGE mode, there's no way to setup a Guest account on Wifi.
That is correct. The Guest Network feature will only work correctly if the Time Capsule is the main router for a network....not a bridge to the network.

WD TV Live HD & Actiontec router/modem [FiOS]

I recently switched to Verizon's FiOS service and I can no longer connect to the internet with my WD TV Live HD box. I have an Actiontec MI424-WR router/modem. The WD box worked fine for the last year or so with my other ISP. I have a wired connection and can see the WD box when I go to the admin screen of the router/modem.
Can someone please help me out?
Thank you!

#1 What is the exact brand and model of the WD TV Live HD box?
#2 What is the hard version of that router?
For example Actiontec, MI-424-MI, Rev C.

Using an Actiontec Router/modem

Hi,
I am helping a neighbor hook up her wireless network.
she has cable internet (she just switched from dsl on Qwest which she had a dsl wireless router/modem from)
Can anyone tell me if we can use this on the cable network?
I was thinking :
Hook PC to Cablebox, cable box to Actiontec.
Actiontec wirelessly transmits to Macs.
Any help would be great!! Laura

Laura,
The new ISP will know better what hardware (cable modem) is compatible with their system. You can also check with the manufacturer whether their combo modem/router can be used with cable service. Without knowing what modem/router you have it's hard (for me) to research. However, in as much as you have the info you can do the research.

Connecting HP 4500 Wireless printer to a new Netgear router/modem

When running setup from the wireless config screen on the printer it finds my new router/modem and then asks for the WPA passphrase. I enter the one that came with the new router and it comes back as a fail. Is there a secret around this or another passphrase it is looking for? I had this printer on my older modem before and it was connected to all PCs in the house but the new one does not want to connect. Thanks

how did you make out with this issue as i plan to buy the 6480

Anyone ever connect an airport to a router/modem apparatus, anyone ever connect an airport to a router/modem apparatus

I have a standard cable company provided router/modem combo that has traditional cable connection to it, not an ethernet cable. I bought the airport to enhance the router's ability, but the cable screw in plug does not go anywhere on the apple airport system. What do I do? Is there an ethernet cable connector/adaptor i use or what?

What is the exact make & model of your combination modem/router device?

Connecting Express to Cox Router/Modem ?

Hello,
    I have an iMac ( OS 10.8 ) connected via ethernet to a Cisco Router/Modem ( from Cox my ISP ), I have a network set up that all my iOS dervice can connect to with out a problem.
    on the second floor of my house I have an Older G4 ( OS 10.4 ,no Wifi just an Ethernet conenection ), I want to connect the Express to the G4 so it will conect to the internet.
     There are threads on this forum that suggest that this can not be doen and the olnly way I can use the express with my current set-up is to connect the express to the Cisco router/Modem and configure the express in bridge mode, this seems rather redundent as my Wifi network can be used throuthout my house.
     When I try to connect the express to the G4 via the ethernet connection, I only get the flashing amber light and none of my devies are able to see the express.
      Any help that you can offer would be great.
    Thank You
    John

After reading a bunch of stuff and not getting the results I wanted. I decided to try a different approach. My iMac is plugged into my router via Ethernet. I took my Apple Express and plugged in the power cord only and placed it on top of the Cox Router/Modem. Using Airport Utility I set the Express up as normal. when it was up and running I simply unplugged it, took it upstairs plugged it in and attached an Ethernet cable
to the Express and then to My G4 and it worked. I connected to the Internet then I downloaded the browser

I have bought a TC to extend the range of the wireless network in the house and would like someone to explain the best way to do this? My combine router/modem is supplied by Movistar(in Spain) model Xavi 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports.

What is the best way to extend my wireless network in the house using a TC? I currently use a combined router/modem supplied by Movistar(live in Spain) model XAVI 7958 router ADSL with four ethernet ports. What is the best configuration and can you explain what is meant by bridging and which is best to bridge for signal strenght TC or Xavi modem/router? Have ipads, iphones, apple tv...etc and want a connection them all in the whole house which, not just downstairs, to our wireless network.

You cannot wireless bridge Apple to non-apple router.. so that is out.
The only way you can do this is run ethernet or EOP adapters.. and place the TC in a location where the other apple idevices can reach it.
If you want to repeat wireless with apple routers you have to use another apple router next to the modem.. plugged in an running as an AP.
Basically the TC is the wrong piece of equipment unless you want Time Machine backups.. take it back and buy a universal repeater.. not apple. Or buy more apple stuff like an extreme or express.. one apple router is useless to you without running ethernet.

2 switches and 1 router

What is the best method to connect 2 switches to 1 router when both switches run the same VLANs? Method A - Enable etherchannel on the router and connect both switches to the router. Method B -Connect the two switches together and then connect one of the switches to the router.

You are (probably) looking for a BVI - Bridged Virtual Interface (or maybe IRB - Integrated Route/Bridging ....don't remember).
The bridged interfaces talk to each other as if connected via bridge/switch, the collective bridged interfaces talk to the other side as if it was an individual routed interface.
So, each of your switches connect to a router's ethernet, those interfaces are bridged. The Bridged ethernet interfaces talk to (for example) a serial interface as a single unit/address/broadcast domain.

Good Luck

I recently had my comcast cable box upgraded to a wireless router/modem. I have terrible signal so I would like to install an Apple Time Capsule. How do I install it?

I Have comcast cable in my home. It comes into my basement. Recently comcast upgraded our boxes to a wireless router/modem unit. We now have a poor wireless network. I decided to run an ethernet cable up into my kitchen so I can place a time capsule there. Is it as easy as just plugging the ethernet cable into the back of the time capsule or do I have reconfigure everything?

Plug in the Ethernet cord, turn the Time Capsule on, then go Applications/Utilities/Airport Utility and you can configure the wireless there.

Direct Telephone Number to Call to Return ActionTec DSL Wireless Router Modem

The Verizon repairman repaired problem with our new ADT alarm interfering with our DSL internet connection. However, connection is very slow (like dial-up). He said we need to replace our Actiontec DSL Wireless Router Modem because it is "dropping packets". What is the direct phone number at Verizon to call to get info on how to return the modem and get a new one? We own the modem (bought it 2 years ago from Verizon).

I recommend calling 800-567-6789 and I believe it's option 1 for tech support, and option 1 for Windows, and option 1 for High Speed Internet (HSI).
A Verizon Online tech support consultant should be able to place an order to drop ship replacement equipment. I am unaware of any potential charge to do so. I believe with HSI modems and routers have a one year warranty under which Verizon will absorb the cost of a replacement.

This is a common question, and i apologize, but I have yet to see an answer. I'm in the UK. I have bought an Airport Extreme. I need to buy a moden (not a combined router/modem, presumably.) I cannot find one in stores or on the web. Please help.

I need a modem to go with my new Airport Extreme. I assume I cannot connect with my existing Router/Modem. I can't find a product either in stores or on the net. I know this is a common question, but I have yet to find a suitable answer. Any advice for a fairly low tech guy?
David

I'm glad you're able to use your current router. Sorry I can't help with your new issue, but I just wanted to add for the benefit of anyone else reading this thread - the X-Modem M3 still seems to be available from the manufacturers, this is the site I originally got it from and it's still for sale there:
http://www.adslnation.com/phpapps/catalog/index.php?cPath=29
Thought I'd mention, as when I got my Airport I spent ages looking for a really small neat modem to use with it and this was the best I could find so other people might be interested too.
