Switched from DSL to cable, can't connect through Airport Extreme.

Network help required!!  I switched from my spotty, poor DSL hookup this afternoon, to a new faster cable hookup. I have 5 devices to attach through an airport extreme.  All 5, ( 2 iMacs 1 iPhone 1 iPad all wireless 1 XBox wired ) on dsl, hooked up this morning, now on cable, only 1 at a time. And only after restarting the cable modem. The only part of my network that changed is the isp...thoughts?
I have the cable to the modem, ethernet to AE, wireless signal to iDevices, ethernet to XBox.

  • Switched from DSL to Cable, Can't connect to the internet

    After switching to cable modem (Motorola SB5120 SURFboard) from DSL, I can't connect to the internet using my airport express. Everything is green - modem and airport, and the signal on my computer looks like I have full access, but there is a scrolling message... looking for PPPoe host. I have unplugged everything and restarted per the instructions on this site, but get the same result every time. My computer connects just fine using direct connection to the modem. I saw a download for a firm ware update for the express, but don't know how to apply that, either. Any help out there?
    Thanks!

    Hello mom2gr82. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings...
    AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AX
    Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Create a closed network (unchecked)
    o Wireless Security: Not enabled
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
    Internet tab
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure: Using DHCP
    o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    Change Wireless Security
    o Wireless Security: WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal
    o Encryption Type: WPA and WPA2
    Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
    o Enable Ethernet Port (checked)
    o Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
    o Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
    o Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)

  • Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Hmmmm.
    If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
    Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
    With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
    Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
    Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
    Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
    Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme.  You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

  • Switched from DSL to cable and now can't find apple tv in itunesdevice list

    I just switched from DSL to Cable and now for whatever reason I cannot find my apple tv in the itunes device list on my desktop computer. If I use another laptop through the same wireless router I can see the apple tv no problem. My apple tv can see my wireless router and connect to the internet and watch youtube/trailers/etc.
    I have tried restoring the apple tv, and have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes on the desktop. I also reset the wireless router...none of the above seem to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this has been crazy frustrating...thanks in advance.

    If you have an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule, you need to use the AirPort utility to access it. Otherwise, your router has a control panel that you can access by entering the router's IP address into your web browser. You'll have to check your router's documentation for the default login name and password, but it's often admin admin or root root (which is why you should at least change the password as soon as possible).

  • Can't access PIX 501 after switch from dsl to cable

    Hi--
    I have two small offices and recently switched from dsl to cable internet. the two pix501 f/w units worked fine on dsl, but for the life of me I cannot even access the units now from the inside as I was able to do before when on dsl signal. I know I need to change the configuration from PPPoe to DHCP, but I can't get access to do it.
    Any suggestions?
    I believe I have 6.2 software, but I'm not sure. The Inside address is 10.8.6.1 now.
    thanks--jb

    Jorge--
    I did have the Pix connected to router, 192 168.1.1 for convenience, so I could still get internet wirelessly without having to do lots of wire unplugging and plugging.
    I have since changed to topology of comcast modem connected directly to pix which in turn connects directly to laptop.
    In this configuration, laptop pings 10.8.6.1 ok, but pix has no connectivity to comcast.
    When laptop connected directly to comcast modem,(ie pix removed) the ipconfig /all from laptop reads the following from comcast:
    ip 71.192.7.130

  • Switched from DSL to CABLE. WRT54G Wireless Router stopped working.

    When I switched from DSL to CABLE, my WRT54G Wireless Router stopped working. I am not able to access the router page (192.168.1.1) Also, when I use the set up CD for re-installation, the wizard aborts in the middle saying it can not connect.
    I appreciate any help to resolve this problem.
    P.S. The router acts like a one-port wired router. 

    Here is my favorite method for resetting a router to factory defaults, and trying to get it working again.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Can't get router working after switching from DSL to Cable broadband???

    I have a WRT54G v.5
    I just switched from dsl service to cable broadband. I can't get my router to work. I hooked it back up just as the dsl modem used to be. there is an ethernet cable that goes from the cable modem to the router. then an eithernet cable that goes from the router to the computer. this does not work. If I just take the router out of the loop and run an eithernet cable straight from the cable modem to the computer it works fine. so the cable internet service is working fine up to the modem. The router is the problem. I have restarted both the computer and the router. so that rules that out. can you help me?

    Open the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".- Click on enable.Click Clone & click save settings
    Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then, try going online.

  • Switched from DSL to cable, need help getting TC back on line.

    I just switched from dsl to a cable modem to access the internet and my service provider doesn't offer support for my TC. Where can I find out how to change my settings (I guess from PPPOE to DHCP) to allow internet access from my wireless network? It seems like a matter of plugging the right numbers into the right place but I don't know where to find the numbers or where to put them exactly. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello Sivad72. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suggest that you first perform a "hard" reset on your Time Capsule (TC). Then, perform a complete power recycle of your network components to get them "talking" again.
    Power Recycling Steps
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    o Power-off the modem, TC, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Switching From DSL to Cable Modem

    I am about to switch from a DSL service to a faster Cable Modem service using my local provider's (Time Warner Roadrunner) self install kit. I was hoping that you experts could give me some advice before I begin the conversion.
    Currently, my DSL modem connects to Airport Extreme, then Airport Extreme to my iMAC.
    My question is whether to first plug in the ethernet cable from the new cable modem directly into the iMAC and make sure that the internet is accessible. Then power off all devices, hook up Airport Extreme back into the chain and try again.
    Or right from the start, should I just plug the new cable modem into Airport Extreme and see if the iMAC sees the internet automatically?
    Any step by step advise would be appreciated.
    Kranepool

    My question is whether to first plug in the ethernet cable from the new cable modem directly into the iMAC and make sure that the internet is accessible. Then power off all devices, hook up Airport Extreme back into the chain and try again.
    You pretty much summed it up.
    I would do the following in order:
    o Power down the DSL modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and iMac. Order is not critical.
    o Install the new cable modem and connect the iMac directly to it using an Ethernet cable.
    o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-on the iMac, and then, check for Internet connectivity.
    o Power down the iMac, and then, the cable modem.
    o Disconnect the iMac from the modem; connect an Ethernet cable between the modem and the WAN port of the AEBS; connect another Ethernet cable between the LAN port of the AEBS and the iMac.
    o Power-on the cable modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBS; wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the iMac, and then, check for Internet connectivity.

  • Can't connect to airport extreme after installing 10.10

    After installing OS X 10.10 WiFi connection with Airport Extreme drops out a couple of different ways.  Log in fails, Says Airport extreme is not there (2ft away), drops data connection with all WiFi bars showing.
    Drops data connection mid data transfer.  Then after sever power recycles of the MacBook Pro connection comes back.
    Light on Airport Extreme is blinking.  This iMac is also connected passing data via the same Airport extreme while the MacBook Pro is having the above experiences.
    Anyone experiencing WiFi issues since 10.10?

  • Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

    Hi
    I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
    my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
    If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
    What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
    thanks
    David

    Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
    Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
    The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
    If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
    I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.

  • Can I connect my Airport Extreme Time Capsule via ethernet to another router (non-Apple)?

    I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours and have gotten nowhere. I have an Archer C7 AC1750 router set up in my office, connected to my Zoom 5341 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem; this has been my main router and has worked fine. I have moved some things around and now have my PS3 and PS4 in my master bedroom but can no longer hook them up via ethernet to the Archer C7. I have run ethernet through the attic into the master bedroom and want to use my Airport Extreme Time Capsule as a way to hook up the consoles via ethernet. If I can use the Airport Extreme to extend my wireless network back to the bedrooms that is even better, although that is an afterthought.
    I am not sure what the settings need to be to make this happen. I have searched and tried a number of things but have not found a working solution.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please start over with a default reset on the Time Capsule. This will not affect any of the stored data that you might have on the drive. You can use the same device name and password that you used before if you wish.
    Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes. Then hold in the reset button firmly for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connection from the Archer router connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    Open up AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on Time Capsule xxxxxx
    AirPort Utility will suggest a setup, which you want to ignore
    Instead, click the Other Options button
    Select the Create a new wireless network setting and click Next
    In the Network Name box, enter the exact name of your Archer wireless network
    In the Base Station name box, enter a name that you want to use for the Time Capsule device
    Uncheck the box to use a single password
    In the Network Password box, enter the password for the Archer wireless network
    Verify on the next line
    In the Base Staion box, enter a password that you want to use as a device password for the Time Capsule
    Verify on the next line
    Click Next and wait while the AirPort Utility creates a network
    Ignore the step about unplugging the modem and click Next
    Do not enable the Guest Network option and click Next
    Wait while the network is being set up. When you see the message that the wireless network is available, click Done
    The Time Capsule will now appear in AirPort Utility with a blinking amber light
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, and then click on Edit in the next small box that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from DHCP and NAT to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update at the lower right and click Continue
    Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart and you should have a green light
    It would be an excellent idea to power off both the Time Capsule and Archer router now, wait a minute, then start the Archer router and let it run a minute. Then, start the Time Capsule up and give it a minute
    You should be all set. The Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are now operable and the wireless network has been extended using AES encryption.

  • How many computers can be connected to Airport Extreme?

    Hi, we have some kind of medium sized network at home: currently we have about 15-20 devices (Macs, PCs and network printers) that are all connected together by a D-Link DI624+ router. However, for time to time that way too much for the router so we're continously looking forward for a new solution that can handle this amount of devices but still is cheap.
    Do you have experience with Airport Extreme as a router for 15 to 20 computers/network devices getting Internet from and being controlled by it? Does it work without problems and is it reliable?
    Out current router often crashes, needs restarts and sometimes looses the whole configuration when more computers are active at the same time.
    Thanks a lot for you ideas!

    Right from Apple's main page for the Airport Extreme.
    http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/
    "With the new AirPort Extreme Base Station, you and up to 50 of your friends, colleagues, or family members can enjoy a robust wireless network offering up to five times the performance and up to twice the range of networks created with the earlier 802.11g standard.2"

  • HP laptop can't connect to AirPort Extreme

    My dad has an HP laptop with an 802.11G wifi card. When I enabled AirPort Disk and restarted the router, the laptop came up with a "Limited or no connectivity" error. I tried resetting the network, unplugging the router, and even extending it with an AirPort Express I own. The range without the Express is good, but the laptop can't connect. And I checked the logs and from what I can tell, the issue is on the laptop's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the encryption protocol of your network as well as the Radio mode (n with b/g compatibility). You need to select one of the protocols which is available on your laptop (e.g. WEP). I can't recall exactly, but I don't believe SP1 has WPA. WEP isn't as secure, though.
