Upgraded to cable internet from DSL created a disaster

Today I switched from dsl to cable. I was very excited to run a spped test through the ethernet cable before the cable guy left. The disaster part starts here. I tried to hook the new cable router into my airport extreme (running most recent firmware). I can now only wirelessly access the internet through my macbook pro. When my airport was plugged into the dsl I was able to join the wi-fi with imac, iphone 4s, ipad2, airbook, macbook, and pc laptops. The network looks fine through the macbook but the only devices are not able to connect. I feel like it must be a setting I am missing in the airport utlility somewhere. All of my devices "find" my new network, but that's it. I reset the modem and airport. Any help would be great.

Anytime you change ISPs or networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I see.
1. 192.168.0.0 addresses are not routable across the public Internet. Even if the whole world knows you're using that space, the information is useless. But if you feel better hiding it, OK.
2. Internal doesn't allow communications with a physical network either. Only the external type does.
3/4. Your problem is not really with Hyper-V. It's with IP.
Your machines are all able to communicate with each other because they're on the same switch and the same subnet. No gateway is required. If you have a computer with an IP of 192.168.1.8 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then it will be able to communicate
with any computer on the same switch with an IP of 192.168.1.anything. It's when they need to talk to computers off of that subnet (anything that doesn't fit the 255.255.255 mask) that they have a problem. For that, you need a gateway somewhere. You can't
use "DC" for the gateway because it's not performing routing services.
You have two choices.
One is to use an external switch so that your guests are directly connected into your physical network. That will take over your WiFi adapter, so you'll probably want to set the share option so your Win8.1 box continues to function. Then just use a common
IP subnet with everything else on your home network.
The second is to set up a software router. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then this has to be in the Win8 environment. I might be mistaken, but I think that
Internet Connection Sharing would even work for this. If you are using an internal virtual switch, then your Win8 system should see two (or more) adapters. One of them is the physical adapter (we'll call it wNetAdapter) and one would be the virtual adapter
(we'll call it vNetAdapter) it uses on the virtual switch. Once you set up ICS, you would have all of your VMs use the IP address that you assigned to vNetAdapter as their gateway.

HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL. Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?

Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address".

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)

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 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)

AEBS and Linksys working separately from cable internet

Hello,
I have searched the forums and could not find the answer to my question. I currently have a Linksys a/b/g wireless router setup in my home and it's working fine. We have a Dell notebook with a Linksys G wireless card and a brand new MacBook Pro. I would like to take advantage of wireless N speed on my MBP and would like to get an AEBS. I have read that if a computer using wireless G is one the same AEBS network that all computers will only run at G speeds. The Dell notebook is not worth upgrading to an N wireless card, so I was wondering if I could use both my linksys router and AEBS together - the dell running off the Linksys and MBP off the AEBS. Can this work?
I have cable internet and this is how I think I should set things up: Cable modem to the AEBS, ethernet AEBS to Linksys. Since one will be using the N band and the other the G band will I get interference?
Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thank you

Yes, this will work and it's what I'm currently doing now, only I am using an express unit for my main G base station.
One router connects to your cable or dsl modem and the other is wired into the first. You end up with two separate wireless networks. You should give them different names to avoid confusion and different channels to avoid interference but if you set the AEBS to 5GHz this should take care of that. Set it so that it only supports N connections.
The second router in the chain should have DHCP and NAT turned off. The first router will handle all of this. If you have trouble figuring out how to set "bridge" mode correctly on the Linksys you can swith that to the main and plug the AEBS unit into that, if the Linksys has a built-in switch, like the AEBS does.

Change to cable from DSL

I changed internet providers from DSL to cable and I have a Linksys E2000 router. Now, none of my wireless devices will connect---doesn't even show my network in the list of available networks. I have 2 laptops, PS3, and Xbox's that I have wireless. The weird thing is---my MacBook connected flawlessly so I know the router is working. What is going on?

look in the router basic the on the web UI. what do you see for the parameters?
what service provider are you with?
what modem do you use?

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).

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."

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

Why can't I set up my AirPort Extreme as a wireless jumper from my Cable internet router ?

If it "joined" my network is it extending the coverage of my wifi network ?
Please review my previous answer in the post above......
But, the Express does not "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal when it joins a network. In other words, wireless devices cannot connect to the AirPort Express the way that you have it set up.
If so can my Airport Extreme be set up to "join" my network and also extend the coverage of my network ?
Again, please review my previous answer in the first reply above......
The AirPort Extreme does not have this type of capability.
If you have both an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express.....my suggestion....again, found above in a previous post.....
It takes a minimum of two Apple routers to extend a signal using wireless.
You could do this by connecting the AirPort Extreme to your cable router using a permanently installed Ethernet cable and then configuring the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network".
Then add an AirPort Express in a location where it can pick up a strong wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme and configure the Express to "extend a wireless network".
You would not use the wireless on your cable router at all, unless you wanted to reserve that network for guests or something similar.

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.

Can i connect directly from my cable internet connection, or do I require a cable modem?

I would like to se up a home network using my cable internet without having to rent a cable modem from my service provider. Can I use a Time Capsule to connect directly to the cable internet, or do I need the modem to establish the connection before using the time capsule to create my network?

The Time Capsule does not have a modem onboard. You will need a modem if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router.

RV042 - I have customer who upgraded to 20 meg cable internet service and can only get 10 meg thru the router. The customer had upgrade to a 20 meg cable internet service from a 10 meg service. The customer is only able to get the 20 meg service going from cable modem to PC. If he goes thru the RV042 router, he is only getting up to 10.7 down and 1.37 up. Additional steps taken….He had a Linksys SRW224P switch connected to the RV042 router and we had disconnected this switch for testing purposes. We performed the speed test again and we get the same speed results so we know the switch is not the issue.He had upgraded to firmware version 1.3.12.19 – TM Feb 13, 2009 – tested speed and no change.We accessed the web management interface and tried several modifications. This includes the following…..- We disabled the firewall – no change- We disabled SPI with is the Stateful Packet Inspection (I was thinking this one would do it) – no change in speed.- We disabled DoS (Deny of Service) – no change.- We set MTU to Manual and tested various byte increments based on MTU ping testing. – Once again, no change in speed. He is NOT using Load balancing on the routerHe has NO access rules but does have a few port forwards. Finally, with each change, he is saving the changes on the router.

You are expecting 20MB throughput on a $150 router? Well, ok, maybe.. Can you check on your router or switch if the port is set or auto negotiated to 10 or 100? That could explain 10MB limit (although technically a 10Mb port is considered 20Mb theoretical max throughput as 100Mb port is considered 200Mb per Cisco). So maybe you ended up with 10/half somehow? MTU 1500 would also be good for that connection I think and to try to get max throughput.

Can signal from ethernet cable from DSL modem be split? to AX and G4

Due to desktop airport going blind to wireless base station AX, want to give it ethernet feed from DSL modem, same time as continuing to connect the AX base station which will serve other computers? What is the best splitter if there is such a thing (analogous to a phone or cable tv splitter)?

There is a product you can use to share an internet connection, most likely
w/ high-speed (dsl/cable) and it is generally known as a cable/DSL internet
router -- some have 4 or 8, etc port switches. I'm not sure which one to get
or exactly how they work. I did find some additional products and ideas in
a search: [ DSL Cable internet switch router share internet ]
They have wired models and also wireless ones. To retain your own AX
unit, you'd probably want a (wired) ethernet model. I'd be willing to bet
some of the wireless ones have a pass-through port so a wired computer
could be used, too. There are several models out there; LinkSys and others.
Best of luck in isolating the correct product and then configuring a system!

Swapped from DSL to Cable using befw11s4

I recently swapped from DSL to Cable and now I am running into not being able to connect to the internet though the router. I have run all the advisor answers from cloning the MAC address to all the power-off procedures. I can connect to the router through 192.168.1.1 and that is it. I cannot connect through the router. Help please!Message Edited by jb4wc on 03-19-200702:04 PM

Yeah... just reconfigure the router from scratch... to make it is back to it's default settings just press the reset button at the back of the router for like 20-30 seconds. Then unplug the power of the router for 10 seconds and plug it back in.
Then so that you wouldn't have to do much to reconfigure the router... connect a PC to the modem and download a software called EasyLink Connect from www.linksys.com/easy Run this software... just follow the instructions and you should be good to go.

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.
