Ubee D3 modem and AE wireless router

My modem is a Ubee3 from Charter Cable and is a docsys3 modem. My Airport Extreme is dual band wireless router. I'm having no trouble except ....
I have a new(ish) HP Officejet 7000 large format printer hooked up. It's a network printer and until today haven't had a problem printing to it from either of 3 machines. Today none of the machines see it. The MBP doesn't even list it in the Print/Fax pref pane anymore - no settings. I can't find the installer package or anything - weird!!! The Sawtooth in the other room at least sees the printer but can't communicate with it. It's like gnomes came in last night and rifled my computers.
2 things. How can I find the IP address being given to the printer. (Time for manual DHCP) .... and ..... Does anyone know how to get in to the web interface for the modem. My old DSL modem was cake at 192.168.0.1 and bingo, but this cable modem isn't working that way. It's at 10.0.0.1 but doesn't open the interface.
Thank you for any help

If you have not already done so, you need to first perform a complete power cycle of your network. To do this, power everything down...all devices....order is not important
Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run for a moment or two by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the network is fully powered back up
This simple power cycle will often straighten out a connection issue on the network
How can I find the IP address being given to the printer
You need to know the MAC address of the printer. It's on a label on the device.
Then, open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Advanced "gear icon), then click the Logging & Statistics tab below the icons
Click Logs and Statistics near the bottom of the window
Click DHCP Clients to associate the MAC address of the printer with the IP address that it has been assigned
Does anyone know how to get in to the web interface for the modem.
Check with your provider to see if they have this information available.
It's at 10.0.0.1 but doesn't open the interface.
The AirPort Extreme is at 10.0.1.1. Is that what you mean here?

  • How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

    What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
    How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
    Thank you,

    AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
    It works with N version airports.
    It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
    I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
    Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
    I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
    If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
    EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
    Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
    So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
    To spell this out.
    A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
    So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
    That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
    Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
    Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
    Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
    When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
    1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
    2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
    3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
    Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

  • Can I use Airport for a computer to computer network AND my wireless router

    ...at the same time?
    I've got a MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro which I can happily connect together to share files or do screen sharing via a computer to computer airport network, or I can also switch (via Finder's airport menu) to my router's wireless network to access t'internet.
    But, is it possible to NOT have to switch this over? I'd like to be able to share both computers' files AND be online at the same time. I'm hoping that the airport network can access the other Mac AND the wireless router simultaneously.
    I'm guessing I couldn't use internet sharing on one of the computers because BOTH of them need to be switched to the ad-hoc computer to computer network.
    I apologise if this question has been asked in the forums before, but it's impossible to do a meaningful search with keywords "airport" "internet" "computer to computer network" - those words cover pretty much every network-related post!

    Airport can only connect to one wireless interface at a time...
    However you are going about things the wrong way, what you want is a LAN... and that is exactly what your router provides, connect both computers to the router and then initiate file sharing and other local protocols.
    If it does not work you will have to configure your router to enable devices to communicate with each other.
    To do so you enter the *router's IP address* into your web browser's address bar, you can find this under *system preferences> network> airport>*
    i.e. some common router private addresses: 192.168.1.254, 192.168.0.1, 10.0.1.10
    This will display the router's web interface, you will need to refer to your router's documentation to find out how to configure it, but many are self explanatory or provide on page help. What most "user friendly" routers call it is "device isolation" or something similar, - this needs to be disabled (to allow all clients to communicate with each other).

  • Connecting a cable modem, a linksys wireless router and my MacBook?????

    So... My cable modem and MacBook work great when connected with an ethernet cable. How the heck do I hook up and configure my Linksys wireless router with my macbook and the cable modem? This seems like a simple setup, but when I hook it up it doesn't connect me to the internet.
    Any help would be awesome!!!!

    Darren,
    The best advice I can give is to suggest you post in the right discussion group. This is the group for Apple Pages. You want the MacBook group.

  • 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

  • How do you set up airport extreme with a windstream all in one modem with the wireless router built in

    I have a wireless network that I want to extend so there will be wifi coverage all over the whole house. I want to use the airport extreme to do so. so far all i can get to work is the airport making another network via a eithernet cable that is pluged into one of the ports on the windstream wireless router/moden (all in one you plug the phone line into this and it has the wireless built in) and the other end is in the WAN port of the airport. I guess the real question is do I need to change any settings on the windstream wireless router/modem to do so. Every time I select all the options to extend a network wirelessly I keep getting errors.

    The Airport Extreme can not wirelessly extend a 3rd party router, it can only extend another Apple router. If you can somehow keep the two connected via ethernet, you can setup a roaming network. A roaming network is essentially "extending" your network by using an ethernet cable to bridge the two routers.

  • In need Of help with a Westell 2200 Modem and a new Router

    Okay, here's the situation:
    I am trying to hook up a Linksys wireless Router.
    When I try to access the Modem to activate "bridge mode," I am unable to. Apparently back 3-4 years ago, my mother thought it would be a good, safe idea to change the username and password of the router. It's real safe considering she forgot what she changed it to.
    My question is:
    Is there any way/chance I can get into the modem some other way?
    Thanks to anyone who can help in any way!  

    #1 When you tried to log-in to the router:
    a) Did you get a log-in screen?
    b) Did you try physically by wire connecting your computer to the router?
    #2 Did you try the reset method?
    With most network equipment, the reset method is..
    Press and hold the reset button/switch while turning off and back on the power to the router.

  • Westell ProLine 6100 DSL modem with generic wireless router

    I am planning to purchase the Starter Verizon high speed internet plan.  It comes with a free Westell ProLine 6100/6110 DSL modem.  The combined modem and wireless router is $55.  I have a wireless router (Linksys and Cisco).  Can I use the Linksys or Cisco wireless router with the Westell ProLine DSL modem, or will I have compatibility problems?  Thanks.

    To use that modem with a router, I point to:

    Location: All DSLR (dslreports.com) FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » Hardware » How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
    ^^
    Otherwise, you will...
    #1 NOT be able to go anywhere online because of Double NAT.
    #2 Or if you can go some where online then..
    ..For example: If you want to allow users from the net to connect to your computer, you can't just portforward in your generic wireless router. You must also portforward in the Westell 6100. (Called Double NAT Forwarding)
    Points to: portforward.com -> Other Guides -> Port Forwarding Behind Two Routers?

    I will leave this up to you on what you want to do. Good luck.

  • Airport card and Roadrunner Wireless Router

    I'm trying to network my girlfriend's iMac 350 with a shiny used airport card from eBay to her wireless roadrunner router, but whenever it tries to connect it says that there is a list which the iMac must be on in order to have access to the internet. I'll give the entire error message next time I get in touch with her and her computer.
    I tried to get into her router configuration (or whatever it is where you put the router address as a URL) to find this elusive list, but she does not know her username or password for to get into the configuration.
    I've tried hooking the mac directly to the router and modem and a couple of combinations therein, called RR tech support, who apparently don't know jack about macs, and managed to fry her router, which was replaced free of charge. I foundthis discussion which I will try next, though it is geared toward the airport base station, so it seems. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607409&#607409
    If anyone has had this problem and found a solution, I could really use some guidance

    if the router is asking for a WEP key or for the iMac's M.A.C. address (that of the Airport card) for it to be allowed to communicate with the wireless then you need the password and admin information to the router.
    Nothing can be done on the iMac's side to fix this.
    The issue is with the router and how its set up its security functions to filter out computers not meant to be connected to it. You must add your iMac to the approved list or turn off the router's security functions.

  • HOTSPOT AND the wireless router

    HI Everyone,
    I am using iphone 4 as a personal hotspot and accessing  internet in my laptop. however at this moment I would like to have a vonage device should be connected (It will work only with a wired connection via router or a modem. Is there anyway to access the personal hotspot connection to a wireless router and connect the router with a cable to the vonage  device?
    Thanks for the replies in advance
    Benn

    You don't want a wireless router. You want a wireless bridge. See WES610N or WET610N. Can't tell though, whether they work with the personal hotspot.

  • Replacing and old wireless router with a Airport Extereme

    I recently purchased a Airport Extereme. I replaced my old wireless router that connected directly from my phone jack. I can not get my Airport to connect the same way. What am I missing?
    Neill

    Your old wireless router may have been a combination modem and router. The AirPort Extreme still needs a modem. It can be either a DSL or cable modem, but it requires one with an Ethernet port - the Extreme cannot connect directly to a landline telephone system.

  • Safari "Top Sites" and Belkin wireless router

    Have been experiencing a problem with Safari / Belkin router for the past 3 days. I have noticed it occurs most often when using the "top sites" function of Safari. It seems that whenever I use top sites it causes a disconnect between my macbook and the belkin wireless router. My computer becomes disconnected from the router, even though the router continues to function as normal.
    In tandem, a parallel problem which may be related:
    In past three days I have been receiving constant floating window prompt to enter my Gmail info to "update RSS feed... password will be sent in clear text... etc." while using Safari. I have read other threads on this issue and some people attribute it to the top sites function, since updating Safari to the latest version.
    Anyone else having the same issue with their wireless router when using the top sites function of Safari? To reiterate - the connection seems only to be lost when clicking on a top site in a new tab or window.
    Thanks for all replies!

    HI,
    Try Safari Maintenance and see if that makes a difference.

  • What are the differences between aiport extreme and linksys wireless router

    We currently have an apple macbook connecting to the internet via a linksys router. We are considering an airport extreme wireless router, we are considering the cost. What are the advantages of purchasing an Airport Extreme router.... ??? Currently my wireless access appears to be more than adequate.

    Besides Bob Timmons' comments, an AirPort Extreme supports these things, which your Linksys router may or may not support:
    - A USB-connected networked disk drive
    - A USB-connected printer that can be shared by all computers on your network
    - MobileMe access to your local resources from outside your local network
    - Configuration via a dedicated program, rather than via a browser interface
    If none of these interests you or if any that interest you are already offered by your current router, and if you're happy with your Linksys router, then I'd keep the Linksys router.
