Ubee, airport, time-warner internet

Hi I am in New York City, using Time Warner cable internet.
I just upgraded my service and they hooked me up with a Ubee modem/router, which doesn't seem to "see" my Airport router.
Internet is fine when I connect with ethernet straight to computer, so not a cord issue.
I don't know how to turn the router function off on the Ubee modem.
Any thoughts?

Thank you Xantiaan,
Yes, I did have the wifi off when I did the test. Although your second suggestion wasn't the answer, it did lead me to the answer.
I logged in to the website for the DSL Modem using information that came with the Modem box. In my case it was going to, "fritz.box". That's where I first updated the Modem firmware. Secondly, I created a "free port" for the Airport Time Capsule in the Internet options for the Modem. I think Apple was a little overzealous with their instructions for setting up the Airport Time Capsule (ATC)--it wasn't as easy as they say. Anyway, opening up a free port allows a more advanced device such as the ATC to function verses a simple ethernet connection to a laptop. My wifi internet speed through the ATC network suddenly went from 30 kBit/s to 3,000 kbit/s.
I then followed the provided instructions to add the printer through the Airport Utility but that didn't work either. So I searched a forum that said to simply add the printer again in the System Preferences: Printer/Scanner Section. That worked.
So for those of you having troubles with your Airport Time Capsule Internet connection, try getting to your Modem Settings and opening a port as is normally done for a server (i think), only this time it's for the ATC. I'm no computer guy but this seemed to have worked. If anyone sees some kind of security concern here, let me know. Thanks and good luck.
-J
P.S. For my settings on the "free port," I used "HTTP-Server" and "TCP".

  • Another TIME WARNER Internet problem. Help!

    TWC Modem > Macbook #1 = OK
    TWC Modem > Time Capsule = No signal
    TWC Modem > PC = No signal
    TWC Modem > Macbook #2 = No signal
    This is weird. It only works when hardwired to one of my Macbooks. I assume that this problem is with a MAC adress, but I dont know what I am doing. Any help?

    What it the make/model of the TWC-provided modem?
    In your network configuration description, are each of the devices connected to the modem by Ethernet and simultaneously? Does your ISP require that you register the MAC address of the device in order to be provided Internet service? That is do they require that you upgrade to a "home network" service in order to have more than one computer gain Internet access?

  • Cannot access rented movies via Clear USB Internet connection, but can via wifi and Time Warner Cable.  Has anyone encountered the same thing?

    I recently rented a movie from iTunes (version 10.4.1.10 on a Windows 7 professional laptop) and when I am at home, on my Clear USB connection, I don't see the Rented Movies in my Library.  When I bring my laptop to work however, and connect to a Time Warner Internet connection via wifi, I am able to see my Rented Movies in my Library.  Has anyone experienced anything similar?

  • Time Warner Ubee U10C018 modem and Airport Extreme

    Using the equipment stated in the subject. I connect the modem to the extreme, after a few moments I get a green light, neither my iMac nor PC laptop can connect to the internet. The ip addresses that are assigned begin with 169. even though I have the extreme setup to assign the adresses 10.0.0.199 and .200 accordingly. I've never had a problem using the extreme in the other three places I've setup this network. Normally just plug into the modem and you're good to go. I've tried researching any known problems with this particular modem and have turned up nothing useful. Just curious as to where I start to look next.

    My previous response was faulty... Only one computer was getting an IP address..
    Here's what really worked, with 2 macbooks and a pc connecting wirelessly to the Airport Extreme, all successfully connecting to the Internet:
    1. Disconnect the ethernet cable and power off your modem (Ubee)
    2. Open Airport Utility, select your router (Airport Extreme), and press 'Manual Setup'
    3. Go to the 'Internet' tab, then under Internet Connection, make sure 'Connection Sharing' is set to "*Share a public IP address*"
    4. Under TCP/IP, Configure IPv4 should be set to 'Using DHCP'. All other settings can remain the default. Press Update.
    5. Power up your modem, wait for the Ready and Sync lights to go steady, then connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the router.
    Apparently, Time Warner only assigns one IP address per device (in the case the router), it's up to the router to distribute IP addresses to its constituents. I wonder why this doesn't happen automatically... :\ Let me know how your experience pans out.
    Peace

  • Airport Extreme 6th generation and Time Warner, Arris modem - no internet on mac

    After installing a new Time Warner Arris modem we have encountered the following issues:
    Light is green on the airport and everything appears normal
    Wifi only works on iPhones, roku, and windows laptops.
    Ethernet from airport extreme is also working (xbox one works fine). 
    Wifi internet does NOT work on Mac computers (we have two in the house both running Yosemite).  The light on the airport is green and the macs can connect to wifi but cannot connect to the internet (DNS issue?). 
    The wifi on my mac yosemite laptop does work on my office wireless and anywhere else but home. 
    Backstory:
    So a few months ago I purchased a brand new 6th generation Airport Extreme 802.11ac.  It worked fine with our old generic Time Warner cable modem until we forced to upgrade to a new Arris modem/router combination this weekend to upgrade our internet speeds (I don't recall the model I can get this later).  We told TWC that we did not need a router and would prefer to use the Apple router but they said it would work just as before by just plugging it into the ethernet port.
    Initially we had network errors and I had to change from NAT to Bridge mode on the airport extreme and this worked for about a day.  The next morning I could only get internet and wifi on my iPhone or a windows machine elsewhere in the house. 
    What I tried (none of these worked):
    resetting the router and modem worked briefly but the problem repeated itself a few hours later or after connecting to a different wireless network.
    deleting network config files (http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/25/fix-wi-fi-problems-os-x-yosemite/).
    deleting the wireless network from saved networks and connecting again.
    Again this is a problem with mac laptops ONLY.  I have no machines running an older version of OS X so I can't test that easily (I can borrow one from a friend to rule that out).   We have 2 Mac computers both running yosemite and both have the same problem.  Every other wireless device in the house works like a charm. Any ideas?  

    (using a White, new Surfboard 6141 and Time Warner as provider)
    This is a simple cable modem, that will deliver only one IP address to the AirPort Extreme.
    My apple extreme in set in Bridge,(by default it is a 2007 model. Has never been a problem when I used Verizon.
    Bridge Mode is not the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme. It needs to be in a Router Mode of DHCP and NAT.
    Bridge Mode would have been the correct setting with a Verizon modem/router......but the SB6141 is not a router....it is a simple modem.
    You can try to make the settings change to see if that will work, but in most cases when you are making a modem change on a network, it is recommended to first reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings  (to wipe older and possibly conflicting settings), and then configure the AirPort to work with the new modem.

  • AirPort Express and Time Warner Wideband Internet

    So.
    I live in an apartment with four other people, and just yesterday we had installed Time Warners 50Mb wideband service. The modem with which the service comes is an SMC Networks SMCD3GN modem and wireless router combination.
    With infinite grace and kindness, Time Warner has taken the time to hardcode the name of the wireless network as well as the password and -not- allow me access to the management software on the router. Since technically I am leasing this equipment from them, they have no problem doing this to me. If I'd like, I could call Time Warner and have them change the function of the equipment from modem and router to just modem.
    My question is this: can I use the AirPort Express A1264 as a wireless router -without- sacrificing speeds? I rudimentarily installed the APE (is that the acronym people use?) just plugging into it an outgoing ethernet cable from the router, and when I connected to the network, I was getting speeds of about 10Mb, not the 50 I'm paying for.
    And while I'm here, what's the best way to boost the 38Mb speeds I get on my wireless network vs the almost 50 wired? I have a feeling it has something to do with interference (I'm in a big building in New York and there must be over 25 other networks I pick up) but like I said I can't change that without access to my router.
    Help me squeeze every last kb/s out of this situation!
    Thaaank you
    Will

    My question is this: can I use the AirPort Express A1264 as a wireless router -without- sacrificing speeds?
    Any router, with NAT enabled, will introduce some "loss" of bandwidth across the WAN-to-LAN interface. That would be true for both the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or the SMC Gateway that was provided to you by your ISP. Disabling the SMC's NAT and substituting the NAT service provided by the AX will probably not "buy" you any additional performance gains.
    The reality is that no one experiences speeds anywhere near to what their ISP claims to offer, at least not when it comes to Web surfing. This isn't entirely the ISP's fault. The ISP's claimed throughput rates are for sustained downloads of an individual file ... and from their Internet infrastructure servers. 99% of the time you will not be accessing web pages from their servers but from other servers located elsewhere on the Internet.
    As you know web pages are typically made up of several files—the HTML code, graphics, Flash elements, and so forth—each of which has its own latency. And then there are all the vagaries of the Internet as data from the Web site hops from router to router down to your computer. This is why, when ISPs advertise download speeds, they're only referring to downloads directly from their own servers.
    And while I'm here, what's the best way to boost the 38Mb speeds I get on my wireless network vs the almost 50 wired?
    There's at least two things that you can do to improve your local wireless network bandwidth: 1) Operate the network in 802.11n only mode in the 5 GHz radio band. If the router offers it, make sure that you run this network in a "wide" or "double" band mode, and 2) Remove all sources of Wi-Fi interference. The second one will definitely prove to be more challenging in your current environment.

  • HT1126 I've just connected to a Time Warner cable modem and am no longer able to connect to the internet using our Airport Express.

    Would love some suggestions as to ho to get thi airport working again!

    I too just got time warner. I now have a motorola surfboard sb 6141 attached to my airport extreme. I have had problems with the AE when I was on DSL. I had to unplug it on average every 2 days to reset it as I would loose my WIFI connection. I've updated it to the most recent firmware and I reset it to factory condition when I joined Time warner today.
    The modem and router are in the kichen and if I'm on my laptop there the connection is almost alway great. But occasionally it becomes bad. In my office on the iMac the eventhough the signal strength is excellent the speed is either great or exceedingly slow. If I unplug the router and plug it back it, it becomes speedy again in the office. So I guess I need a new router, but this one is only a year old. Any suggestions?

  • Airport Extreme set up with Time Warner

    OK. I am experiencing a similar problem as mentioned in a differnt thread, but a bit different. First my Airport Utlility is 6.3.1 so the graphics for settings are completely different.  I have an ATV2, Black Mccbook and Ipad2. My problem is when I try to add a third device of the three, especially the Macbook, once I get it an assigned # via the modem (using a White, new Surfboard 6141 and Time Warner as provider), my Ipad gets dropped. Once I even lost the ATV2.  The Mccbook is generating its own DHCP address. When I have it on and reboot the modem, it sets it up , but then I lose the Ipad when I turn it back on. My apple extreme in set in Bridge,(by default it is a 2007 model.Has never been a problem when I used Verizon.Where do I go from here. Been playing with this all day.  Internet connect is set fort DHCP . Network is set for Bridge. I have no Ivp6 settings.

    Also, I was not given instructions for set up from Time Warner. It was done via a phone call by the technician when they installed the cable. Timw Warner takes no responsibility for owned Routers and how to configure them. They just make sure the modem is probperly feeding the signal. Message was edited by: Moncrief

  • Network issue using Time Warner, Airport Extreme, MacBook Pro OSX, Windows7

    I have the following on my home network:
    - Time Warner cable-internet and phone service.
    - Apple Airport Extreme Base Station hooked up to the cable modem
    - MacbookPro running OS 10.6.3 connected wirelessly to airport extrm
    - HP Laptop running Windows 7 connected wirelessly to airport extrm
    - HP Officejet Pro 8500 connected to wirelessly to the airport extrm
    - iPhone connected wirelessly to the airport extrm
    - XBox connected via ethernet cable to airport extrm
    - USB external hard drive connect via USB cable to airport extrm
    My network worked fine with only my Macbook Pro, Airport Extreme, iPhone, XBox, and occasionally my buddy's Macbook Pro all on the network at the same time.
    I recently added an HP Laptop running Windows 7 and a wireless HP Printer to the network at the same time.
    Now if both the Windows 7 PC and the Macbook Pro are on the network at the same time, one of the machines will get booted from the internet. At one point, I got a message on my MacBook Pro that said another computer on the network is using the same IP address. I also have trouble communicating with the new HP printer if both the Windows 7 and the Macbook Pro machines are on the network at the same time.
    How should I set up my airport extreme to allow all machines to function properly on my network. Right now, the network is set up to receive IP addresses automatically through the DHCP server. I read somewhere that maybe setting up the computers to manual static IP addresses and manually entering in the DNS server info into the airport extreme may fix my problem. I also read that configuring the network to all share a single IP address will fix the issue. How do I set this up. I would also like to keep my network invisible from being seen. Is this still possible?
    Thanks for your help on this!!

    To change the IP address on a Mac, go to settings, then select the network interface you use, then, change Automatic to manual. I don't know how to do this on windows 7, and you can access and change your printers settings by clicking in the bookmark windows on Safari, clicking printers, and open up it's settings.

  • Consistently losing internet connectivity with AE and Time Warner

    I am trying to help a friend fix a long-standing issue with her wireless network.
    1. Her ISP is Time Warner - she has a cable modem.
    2. She has an Airport Express plugged into it.
    3. She has several Macs, a PC, and 2 iPhone connected wirelessly.
    4. She tells me that several times a week she loses connectivity. My friend fixes it by recycling both the AE and TW cable modem.
    5. Apple replaced the AE even though they didn't think anything was wrong with it. The problem persisted. Her boyfriend tried two other WAPs, the problem persisted.
    6. Her boyfriend thinks that on a few occasions the wireless network still was up, but they were not getting internet through it.
    7. She has had TW out multiple times and they say everything is fine on their end. They said they may have MAC addresses that are "too close together" and my friend should turn on MAC filtering. This makes no sense to me - MAC filtering is for security.
    Her boyfriend is going to plug his computer directly into the TW cable modem the next time they lose wireless internet connectivity, but I said I would go over and take a look.
    I think the best idea is just rebuild their wireless network (I have "Take Control of Your 802.11 Wireless Network" - great book) and see if that helps. But I would appreciate any troubleshooting assistance.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +She has had TW out multiple times and they say everything is fine on their end. They said they may have MAC addresses that are "too close together" and my friend should turn on MAC filtering. This makes no sense to me - MAC filtering is for security.+
    Unfortunately, you'll need to resign yourself to the fact that there will be little if any real assistance from the cable company. The stuff about MAC addresses being too close together, etc is total nonsense. As you point out, MAC Filtering would have no application here either.
    +She tells me that several times a week she loses connectivity. My friend fixes it by recycling both the AE and TW cable modem. Apple replaced the AE even though they didn't think anything was wrong with it. The problem persisted. Her boyfriend tried two other WAPs, the problem persisted+
    These are clear symptoms that interference of some type is affecting performance on the network. The first thing to do to help improve things is move the Express from it's probable current location down low on the wall behind the cabinet out to an open area where it can radiate its signal as freely as possible. This means using an AC extension cord to place the Express in a better position.
    The next thing to do is make sure that the Express is not located near any other electrical devices, cordless phones, televisions, etc. These can all interfere with the wireless signal.
    These actions may solve the issue. If not, you'll need to start experimenting with different channels for the wireless network on the Express as other nearby wireless networks may be using the same channel or a close adjacent channel. Start at Channel 11 and start working down until you find a more reliable channel, or run out of channels.
    +Her boyfriend is going to plug his computer directly into the TW cable modem the next time they lose wireless internet connectivity+
    Not really a good idea unless he knows how to fully reset the modem before he connects it to his computer and then do the same again when connecting back to the AirPort Express. I'm not sure what he hopes to gain by doing this.
    +I think the best idea is just rebuild their wireless network (I have "Take Control of Your 802.11 Wireless Network" - great book) and see if that helps+
    Good idea.

  • Using airport express to extend Time Warner cable modem wifi signal

    I just today got a Time Warner Cable Arris modem with built-in wifi.  I'd like to use my 802.11n Airport Express base station to extend the TWC network wifi signal to other parts of my house, but I can't get the Airport Express to shake hands with the TWC modem.
    In Airport Utility, under the "Wireless" tab, I've selected "Extend a wireless network".  I am able to select my TWC network under "Wireless Network Name." Wireless Security is set to "WPA2 Personal."  But when I click "update" the airport express fails to join the TWC network, and my Airport Express signal disappears; I am only able to get the signal back by resetting the Airport Base Station with a paperclip.
    Applecare tells me that I might be able to use the Airport Express to extend my TWC network, but they do not support that process.  Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?  Are there settings in Airport Utility I need to change?  I'd appreciate anyone's help.
    Thank you.
    Todd

    You need TWO Airport units, one to function as the main radio and the other to function as an extender.  I used two Express units.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the main Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Then connect the extender to AC power.  As before, open Airport Express on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  No need to add password info.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • AirPort Express Base Station - Use with HP Laser Jet & Time Warner

    Have this brand new AirPort Express Base Station that I want to install in place of the Linksys router that is connected to the Time Warner cable base station delivering internet connection so I can connect HP Laser Jet 6/6mp printer via USB on the AirPort Express. Any recommendations or suggestions ?

    Thanks
    The question is this
    If I use the Airport Express Base Station as wireless router for internet service coming in from Time Warner AND plug the HP LaserJet printer USB plug into the AirportExpressBaseStation will I be able to overcome the communication problem I am having when I plug in the HPLP's USB plug directly into the MacBookPro and cannot get use of the printer due to language ( Apple Talk vs Post Script ) problems ? Probably not make any difference since the USB female on the AEBS is just a conductor !
    While I have you ! How do Mac people delete backwards like PC people do when they press the delete key and letters delete from left to right ?

  • Airport Express with Time Warner DSL

    A friend just had her Time Warner DSL setup but she really wants wifi in her house. They want to charge her another $50 setup and then $10 more per month. They did say we could just setup our own network by plugging a router into the modem. Can I do this with an Airport Express or do I need to use an Extreme?
    And the router mode would be set to DHCP and NAT?

    Hello
    I am having similar issues setting up my Airport Express.
    I have the TWC Cable Modem with built in WIFI. All of that is working fine.
    I have connected my ethernet cable ( itested and it has a internet connection) to the WAN port on the AE and plugged it in. After a few moments the light flashes amber.
    When I run the Airport Utility from my Mac, it says "Examing..." and then says "An unexpected error occurred. Try again"
    I have tried many times, and even reset the AE using the button on the back.
    I am at a loss.
    Can you help me diagnose further or try an alternative method?
    thanks in advance.

  • Time Warner Roadrunner in NYC not working on Airport Express...?

    Just signed up for cable internet with Time-Warner in NYC. It's your standard cable modem with an ethernet cable. I can plug in and everything works (connection, Mail, Safari, etc etc).
    When plugging said ethernet cable into my Airport express, however, the signal is strong as can be but the light stays yellow.
    Internet connect says I'm connected to the internet via airport but the airport seems to disagree.
    I'm set up in the airport admin util to connect via ethernet and DHCP (like the TW folks told me too). They say I don't need to fill anything else in and it should work....
    I was on the phone with the Applecare folks for 45 minutes yesterday trying every combo of restarts that we could think of before I had to go to work....
    Anyone have any other suggestions? The cable guy checked the aiport and ethernet boxes in the network prefs but that's the only thing that changed on my computer. And I've changed it back and forth to see if THAT was the problem.
    The other interesting thing is that when I plug the ethernet in directly from the modem and have airport card on, it doesn't work. The ethernet cable direct works when the airport is off.... or is that irrelevant??

    You can't run both connections at once, i.e., ask the computer to access wirelessly and wired.
    My experience at a friends home (also roadrunner but not NYC) indicates that the TW folks were right. One thing they didn't tell you that they told us at the time was to unplug both the modem and the wap (the power cords only), wait 1 minute, plug the modem back in and then the wap. When I set mine up I spent an inordinate amount of time configuring everything manually and was a little chagrined when his connection came right up.
