Using UML290 with 4G Router

Has anyone tried using their UML290 with a 4G router? You don't use VZAccess Manager with a router. I'm wondering if this would solve the problems everyone seems to be having. I know CradlePoint has a beta 4G firmware update for their MBR1000 router and one of their portable routers. One problem they evidently still have is the router cannot automatically switch back and forth between 3G and 4G. That would be a problem for the portable router driving down the highway in your car, of course. EDIT: Worse yet, the beta firmware won't work at all with 3G. http://moremobileinternet.com/verizon-4g-mobile-hotspot/

See my post in response to '4G on the fringe'. I'm using a UML290 in a Nexaira BC2 and it rocks (coming from Sprint 3G anyway). I followed the tips on evdo forums, locked my modem to LTE and now working from home over VPN every day is much less painless (I occasionally drove in just to get a decent network, I don't see that much anymore - at least until the smartphones come out and people start trashing 'my' tower).

Using AX with Linsys router and WEP security

I have a Dell Inspiron 700m running XP. I use a Linksys wireless router for internet access. I have configured my AX to connect to the router and, with the WEP security turned off, it worked fine. However, when I turned WEP back on, reset the AX, and tried to configure it as a client to my wireless network, it didn't work. Rather, I could not connect to my wireless network, and can only connect directly to the AX network. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Having said that, this will only work if they use an algorithm, some don't and in these cases you must use the HEX key regardless of the length of the plain text password.

How do I use a netgear N600 router with Infinity 1

I have searched various forums etc. with mixed success so am hoping that someone here can give me an idiot's guide to connecting to the internet using my netgear N600 router rather than using the BT Homehub 5. BT say that I can do it (despite my router being set up for ADSL and the HH5 being set up for VDSL) but that they can't tell me how! They sent me an email with various details I would need but I can't see where most of them need to be added when I connect to the netgear set up wizard. What I could see I filled in but when I tried to connect the netgear genie told me the ADSL cable wasn't connected. Can anyone give me a step by step guide of what to do please? I would be very grateful. Thanks

I just have the homehub 5 - I have seen various complicated descriptions elsewhere explaining how to use the HH5 as just a modem or how to just connect directly with the Netgear but all have been a bit over my head!
The HH5 cannot be used as a stand alone modem. You could use the Netgear as a simple wireless access point, but you would lose most of the functions, and would be better off using a proper wireless access point.
You cannot use the Netgear as a router, without a modem.

I have an Iphone 4S on ios7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver from Pioneer (VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router. I no longer get the airplay icon on my iphone? Any suggestions?

I have an iphone 4S on ios 7.0.3 and am attempting to use airplay with an airplay enabled AV receiver (Pioneer VSX-53). I also recently upgraded my wireless router and the roouter is working fine with the five elements on the network. Prior to the upgrade to 7.0.3 and the router upgrade the airplay feature working fine and i was able to consistently use airplay to stream music th the AV receiver. After the upgrades the airplay icon no longer appears on my iphone or on my macbook running itunes. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot the missing airplay icon is much appreciated.

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

Can I use Netgear powerline range extender with Actiontec router M1424WR-D?

We have been using FIOS internet happily with an Actiontec router (M1424WR-D) since 2008, but we have a 'dead zone' in a remote part of our home. I am attempting to install a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Wireless N-Extender kit in the dead zone room, but have not been successful. If I give a unique SSID to the extender, and do not set any encryption, I am able to have wireless connection in the room, but having unprotected wireless connection is unacceptable to me. If I use the same SSID for extender and Actiontec router, and use the same encryption key for the extender as is used on the Actiontec router, then I no longer have wireless connection in the room. I hope someone can provide some help in understanding what it is I'm doing wrong in setting up this powerline extender. Should the extender have the same SSID and encryption key? Should it be a different one? Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Great news! At last I finally have been able to get a Netgear Powerline AV200 Wireless-N Extender Kit to provide wifi in the 'dead zone' in our house, and I was able to secure the network with an encryption key which I set up wirelessly, instead of relying on the 'wired' security option offered by the kit (a push-button on the side of the extender box). None of the phone techs at Netgear were able to figure out why we could not get the kit to work properly to begin with, and I finally gave up on the phone techs.
For anyone interested in using this product and who needs to set it up with a non-Netgear router, or a router that does not have a WPS button on it, please be aware that the resource CD in the box may be out of date. You will need to go to Netgear's website and download the Powerline Utility software for your device directly from the website. You will need to supply your product serial number in order to get the download. It is important to have this up-to-date software. I discovered that the up-to-date software downloaded from Netgear functioned more smoothly and allowed me to set up my encryption effortlessly. After forcing a factory reset on the extender and removing the device IP addresses associated with the initial unsuccessful attempt to create a secure network, I was able to set up the extender and secure it with absolutely no problem. The up-to-date software seemed to be the critical factor. The product seems to be working really well now and so far we are happy with it.
A word of caution when dealing with Netgear's phone techs. On some occasions when I phoned into Netgear my case was farmed out to a company called i-Yogi. I had a disturbing experience with one of the techs at i-Yogi. One of the i-Yogi techs said he could help me to set up encryption on my network using the AV200 extender, but that he needed first to gain remote access to my laptop. He also wanted access to another laptop in our house in addition to the one I was working from. This seemed odd and I refused to allow access to the second laptop. After gaining remote access he noted that I was using Norton 360 and he claimed that it was not working with my XP operating system and attempted to sell me a copy of McAfee security software at a reduced rate. He became very pushy about this. I refused to engage in this purchase and insisted that he return to the task of troubleshooting my encryption issue. At this point he still had not once attended to the configuration of the extender settings at all, but even so he refused to assist me, saying that it was not his problem that my network was not secured. It was not a good experience, and I believe he had a totally different agenda than dealing with my technical issue.

Is it possible to use an Airport Extreme router with AT&T 2Wire modem/router?

My AT&T 2Wire modem/router does not have great range, speed, or compatibility with my Macbook and iMac. I bought an Apple Airport Extreme to try to remedy my problem, however, I did not realize it was purely a router. Is it possible to use the 2Wire modem/router as just a pure modem and connect it to the Airport Extreme? Would it be more beneficial to purchase a new modem that does not have wireless functionality? I have looked at previous posts but couldn't find any definite answers. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!

The easiest route to take here would be to simply turn off the wireless function on the 2-Wire modem/router and then configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to provide a dual band wireless network.
If the 2-Wire performance shortcomings are the result of other wireless interference issues at your location, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme may not perform any better, wireless wise. It's not possible to know things like this in advance....more of a case of you won't know until you try.
In theory, it might be possible to configure the 2-Wire product as a simple modem...but I doubt that AT&T would be willing to tell you how to do this or provide support in the event of problems.
It's getting to be hard to find a simple DSL modem these days, and even if you do, it will have to be re-configured as a Bridge to work correctly with the AirPort Extreme, so that complicates things as well.

Is it possible to use a third party router with BT...

Hi all,
I currently have BT Infinity & Unlimited calls on my package, but I use a third party router, namely a Netgear WNR3500L in place of my original v2 Infinity Home Hub.
Now, my question is this: Do I have to use a Home Hub with Vision, or would I be okay using my current setup?
I do realise that if I use a third party router, I won't get support from BT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
Modem router, model, type of broadband?
TC setup as bridge or router?
Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
Are you using wireless or ethernet?
Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

Using time capsule with separate router

Hi
at the moment I have a Macbook Pro and get online through a 1TB Time Capsule connected to an old router with a printer connected into the back of the Time Capsule to print wirelessly.
If I switch broadband providers and get a new modem/router would I be able to use the new wireless router as the main internet hub (in a different room) whilst still connecting wirelessly to the time capsule to back up only (essentially using the time capsule as a wireless backup device only rather than an internet router)?
And, if I were to do this could I still print wirelessly?
thanks

You cannot use two different wireless connections at the same time.. that means you have to use either internet or time capsule.. it would be better to hook up the TC to the network in bridge so you can still access it whilst doing internet at the same time. So the best way is run ethernet between the two routers.. but if you cannot do that, then EOP adapters have become very popular and will generally work better than wireless bridging. Unfortunately the options for wireless bridging with non-Apple routers are poor.

Using pc to phone software with the router

I have a wrt54gl v1.0 router through which i connect the net. i want to use a phone to pc software which mentions to make some entries in the router so tht an internet ip is availble to make and receive calls.
please can you help.
thnx

Hi.......
well it is possible to use the Phone to Pc software along with the router.
And the settings which is required for this is, you will have to open the ports for this software in the router in order to use it.
For this you will have to first get the Port Numbers for this software, which you can get from the Phone people. You then connect one of the Pc to the router and log into the setup page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 username leave blank and the password is admin. On the setup page under the Applications and Gaming screen you can open the ports given to you and the ip address asked would be the ip address of the Pc which has the software installed on it. You can check the ip address of you Pc from start >run > cmd and ipconfig in the command prompt.
Also under the security tab disable the Block Wan Request. ......

Using Airport Extreme with Linksys Router/Modem

I was just told that my Mac mini is excruiatingly slow on the internet because I am using a Linksys router with Xfinity and that Airport Extreme will be much faster. And that I should plug Airport Extreme into the modem. When I checked, I don't have a separate modem. My Linksys is a combined router/modem. What should I do? Do I plug the Airport Extreme into the Linksys box, or do I get a completely different modem that is only a modem? And, if I plug Airport Extreme into the Linksys box, how do I configure the network for Airport Extreme, and what else do I need to do? All help greatlly appreciated...I can barely get onto the Apple website!

When I signed up with Xfinity one of the stipulations was that they would not install a router/modem but only a modem. I had heard of problems with their router/modem and I didn't want to go down that path.
I don't but you mighht be able to get them to change out your router/modem for a modem. I would start there by asking them.

Extreme as Remote using WDS with Linksys WRT54G router ??

I have seen that the Extreme cannot be used as a remote using WDS with a D-Link wireless router. Is the same true with Linksys wireless routers? I thought I would pose the question before purchasing my 3rd (2 dead, bad luck?) Express or purchasing two Extremes.
I will eventually gravitate towards using an Extreme as my main base station but I do need a remote for wireless printing. I was hoping to put off purchasing an Express until a later date.

Since it doesn't appear that everyone has gotten it to work with this router does that mean special tweeks are required? Is it hit and miss? The wireless router has the latest firmware updates and my network is running with WPA2. Comcast is my provider.

My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?
