Using without A DSL Router

Ok so I had thought, when you hook this up, you can discard the old Router, we have SBC DSL and they gave us a 2WireRouter with only one LAN port and the DSL ( Grey Line ) So I thought Oh cool I bought this I wont need that anymore, Well I guess I do, it's the only way I can get this to work, I mean Kinda stupid if you ask me, I thought the whole Point of this was to be an APPLE Router not for me to have to hook into my OLD one. I've seen other routers out there that are the same, cheaper and with like 4 LAN hookups in the back, and it's a ROUTER you plug your DSL line into and and DONE. So QUESTION here, I hooked just the DSL Line ( GREY LINE ) and then Cat5 LAN cable to my MAC, same way I had it with the 2Wire Router, and tried manually putting everything in, DHCP all that fun stuff, IP, DNS servers all that and It picks up, but still cant get it to work ?? So Is there anyway to just hook this up without having to use the old Router with it ? And the reason I hate my old one is, it only has 1 DSL LINE, I cant plug more computers into it, Only WIreless, which is not good for Online Game-play with my 2 PC"s, I wanted to be able to hook the PC's up into this and not go through that old Junky 2Wire one. If anyone knows more about this, would be glad to know any info you have, Thanks.

Oooooh Ok, Yeah I was a bit confused, I though well seeing my 2WIRE one has the 1 DSL line and the LAN Line, plus the Wireless all built in I was like OOOHh This Apple one will work the same and give me an extra 3 LAN lines for my PC's that only run on Wireless right now. OOh well I'll keep this still, I left another Comment on what's the best way to set this all up. And yeah the way I have it set up now, is the Grey DSL line is plugged into the 2WIRE as I usually have it, and the Yellow Cat5 LAN cable is coming out of that going into the Airport Extreme then I just ran the Setup Utility and it gave me the whole what do you want to choose thing, 802. a/b or just a, I'm not sure which is faster or really what is best, so I just left it on a/b. And with the part where it say's Bridge Mode or Shared, I have it on Bridge because it says if you have this plugged into a Router, So I did that, but kinda seem's slow now compared to having it just run from the 2WIRE router.

Need a Secure Reliable connection Using IDSL and dsl routers

I need to get a fast secure remote connection to my database. I am using oracle 8i database and the 6i developer for my applications. I need to connect to from remote sites to my office using my internet dsl router.
I managed to do this using the web remote desktop , but i need to use a differnt method for tow reasons :
1- I am worried that i might face performance problems when having many remote desk top connections.
2- I still need security measures where i want to restrict connections to only specific computers that i have identified by reading hard disks serial numbers etc.
I will appreciate it if any one can help me and show me a suitable way to connect to the data base remotely using the idsl lines while the application (forms and reports runs in the clients computer) or any other methods to connect using the idsl and the routers and not compromise the security issues of restricting the connections based on hardware information.

Hi,
it seems to be a JRE Problem. When I use the Kerberos implementation from "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" I can establish a "aes256" secured LDAP connection to the AD Server.
This LDAP connection allows to change the passwords of the users stored in the AD.
The problem is that "Vintela Single Sign-On for Java" is not free, so it would be nice to have a solution which works with the Kerberos implementation of the JRE.
The error is the same for "aes128" and "aes256" encryption.
And with Wireshark I can not see any differences in the packets send to the AD and received from the AD.

Can the time capsule works without WLAN cable connected to my DSL router?

Cna the Time capsule work without WLAN cable connection to DSL router?

WLAN is usually used for wireless LAN .. plainly you mean WAN port ..
How do you expect to get internet if the TC is not connected to the internet?
The TC can work stand alone.. true enough but that will then involve considerable issues in setting up two different IP addressing regimes .. you can just bridge the TC and use it as WAP and switch plus hdd without having to route.

Using Airport Express with an ATT DSL router

July 10, 2012
Hi All! The following thoughts are for
     1) those of you who use ATT DSL as your internet service-provider, and
     2) who wish to stream iTunes songs from your computer to speakers in other rooms via AIRPORT EXPRESSes, and
     3) are wondering whether you have to purchase a separate Apple Airport Extreme base-station, or can simply use your exisiting ATT router.
Having just spent several days and many hours on the phone before Apple's tech "Dan" was finally able to get my system up and running, I thought some of you might appreciate my sharing the following info while it's still fresh in my mind.
1. You may need to update your ATT router to the latest version, in order for it to properly communicate with your AIRPORT EXPRESS(es) (henceforth shortened to "AEs"). The AEs use 802.11n speed. My original ATT router (a 2Wire 2701HG-B) was no faster than "-h," and this might have been part of the problem as to why my system wouldn't work. I went to my local AT&T store, and got their latest router: as of this writing, a Netgear "Westell" Model B90-755025-15, which can run at both the slower speeds as well as the faster "-n." To find out some of the specs of my router, an Apple tech had me type in the 10 digits of my Gateway IP Address into the address-bar (no need for the "https://www") and "Presto!", up popped several pages of info on my router.
2. When first setting up your AE, it needs to be back in "default mode." If it's right out of the box, you don't need to do anything. But if, like me, you've already made several attempts to get it running, then you need to reset it to its pre-configured state, You do that by taking a bent paper-clip, and inserting one end into the little hole on the ports-side of your AE (near where the mini-plug of a speaker-cable is inserted). While the device is plugged in, gently press the paper-clip into the hole until the light on top blinks amber QUICKLY, the flashes coming in rapid succession. Then remove the paper-clip, and the AE will glow solid amber--meaning it's waiting to be re-programmed.
3. When first setting up your AE, do NOT attach an ETHERNET CABLE from the router. The only cable that needs to be attached is the mini-plug cable running to some sort of portable, powered speaker. For myself, to make things easier, I brought my AE and my new Sony RDP-M5iP speaker/dock into the same room as my Imac & router. That way, I'd know immediately if the AE was working correctly.
4. After you've clicked on your Airport Utility App (hard drive TO Applications TO Utilities folder), you'll soon come to a page that asks you to name your AE (this page calls it a "base station"). Before you do that, you should see a button in the lower left-hand corner that says, "Other Options." Click on it. You'll then be given a choice of "Creating a New Network" or "Choosing an Existing Network." You want this 2nd choice--because you indeed are planning to use your ATT router's exisitng wireless network.
5. Shortly, you'll come to the page asking you to name your AE. Call it, for instance, "Family Room Speaker." As for password, at first I--as well as virtually all of the techs with whom I spoke--thought I should type in the multi-digit ATT router-password (called a "Wireless Network Key"). But finally, "Dan" told me to simply type in, "express1" (or, for my 2nd AE, "express2"). That did the trick!
6. Your AE should now be glowing green on top. Plus, on the 10x6" dark-grey rectangular box displaying the globe (i.e., your main internet connection), the globe should have a now-green glowing circle to its left. And underneath, it should be displaying a rectangle named "Family Room Speaker" (or whatever name you've given your Airport Express).
7. When you now open iTunes, you should see a little blue rectangle (with a triangle in its middle) in the lower right-hand corner of your iTunes box. Click on it, and it should show listed both your computer-speaker as well as your AE speaker(s), plus a heading called "multiple speakers." Click on "multiple," and it will bring up a box displaying all your now-current speakers. Check the small square next to any speakers that are unchecked, and a volume-slider will appear. Bring them all up to a comfortable level. Then click on an iTunes track you'd like to play and, viola!, you should hear music playing both from your computer and from the portable speaker to which your AE is attached.
8. Now close iTunes. Then unplug your Airport Express and--if you have a 2nd AE-- plug them both back into your power-strip. Go thru the set-up steps in your Airport Utility App for this 2nd AE. At the end of it, both AEs should be glowing green on top, and both should be displayed on your computer-screen.
Now re-open iTunes, and start a song playing. (Don't forget to click on the blue rectangle at the R-hand bottom, and activate the new AE speaker.) By inserting your speaker cable alternately into each of the AEs, you should be able to verify that, yes, both are now working.
9. Unplug both AEs, and bring them to whatever room you want to use them in. Plug them in to a wall outlet, and run your mini-cable from the AE to the speaker. Give the AEs a few minutes to pick up the signal once again from your ATT router; when they do, their lights will change from amber back to green. Tech Dan warned me to keep them away from too much metal, to avoid interference. As soon as they turn green, you should now be hearing your iTunes track playing thruout your house! (If not, you may have to first close iTunes on your computer, then re-open it, and start a new track playing.)
The BOTTOM LINE: no, you don't have to purchase a separate Apple Extreme to be your base-station. Your ATT router--if it's running at the 802.11n standard--should be able to work with your Airport Express(es)!
My thanks to Sean and Cameron and Chris and, most especially, Dan, the Apple techs who patiently worked with me to get this system online.

I am GREATLY appreciative of this overview. Even though I don't understand a lot of it. I will keep working through. I am-- have for 2 years-- had terrible connectivity with AT&T's service & 2Wire router. My MacBookPro keeps dropping the signal. I'm talking every few clicks at times. Husband's PC drops it, too, but not nearly as much as the Mac. I'm sure what you posted can help us get better connectivity.

Problems setting up WVC80N TZO account using my 2701HG-T 2Wire DSL Router

Hi!
I have 2 WVC80N cameras and I´m using a 2701HG-T 2Wire DSL Router, they are already configured and i can see them wireless, but i tryied again and again to configure both TZO accounts and always recived the next message:
Oops, there was an error when setting up your camera for remote access.
The wizard cannot automatically configure your router due to an invalid or unknown password. Please check your password settings on your router and try again. In many cases, your router may still have the default password setting.
Can somebody help me? What i need to do? Is there another way to watch them throug internet?
Regards!
Ed.

That link above wont work for you, you have a WVC80N and the signup is ON THE CD, not via the website.
This error is due to the router password not working, do you know the admin PW for the router to add/remove port forwarding rules?
If not, call your ISP or whoever gave you the router and get the password then try the setup again

HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

Westell A90-750015-07 as a wireless router w/o use of the DSL portion?

EDIT:
WHOOPS! Perhaps a better place for this would have been home networking, my apologies, even though this is in an area that is not best suited for it, please don't delete it as for someone that is a "hunt n' peck" typist, it would be heck to enter it all over again... Thnx.
Hello,
Perhaps someone has already done this...
I'm curious about the possibilities of a Westell 7500 DSL modem / wireless-router operating ONLY as a wireless router.
That is to say if there was a need for an additional wireless router to use one as such.
After all, one of the network connectors is labeled E1-UPLINK.
One "possible" scenario would be an extension of service to an outbuilding or another floor. To elaborate, a wired connection could be made between the DSL / router and another Westell 7500 in a detached garage or on another floor of a residence that the wireless signal from the first DSL Modem could not reach. Of course they would be both operating on different channels.
Anyone ever tried this or had it work for them successfully?
Cordially,
Gerry
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This can be done. Use a second 7500 and set it up with the settings you need for Wireless. Don't connect it to a DSL line and instead, disable DHCP (Private LAN) on the second Westell 7500. Also disable the Network Scanning to cut down on ARP traffic on the network. From that point, connect the two units LAN to LAN and you've got a switch and Access Point. Don't bother enabling the VersaPort feature of the 7500, and it's also best to disable the Firewall built-in since it's not needed (unloading it from Memory).
You might be able to bridge the Westell 7500 as if it were being set up as just a modem and that would effectively do the same thing (shut off the router-related features in a single go) and from that point all you'd need to do is disable DHCP on the router and connect the two units LAN-to-LAN. Not sure if bridging shuts the wireless off, however.

[SOLVED] Setting up a DSL router?

Hello there.
I am having trouble setting up my DSL router with Archlinux. It is currently running with Vista and has all the correct settings already configured. I am unsure of how to properly set it up and have tried various configurations which resulted in pppoe-start timing out, sometimes with an error. I have two network cards (One integrated into my Asus A8V motherboard and the other a 3com.) I am not sure which is eth0 and which is eth1 but I set rc.conf to eth0 and tried both.
The DSL router is a Dynalink RTA1320 which I believe runs a version of linux with a 2.4.x kernel.
Isn't including the login and DNS addresses when running pppoe-setup unneccesary as the router is already set up with them? I have setup the router's IP address (192.168.1.1) as the default gateway.
Last setting tried was:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
routes=(!gateway)
I have also tried routes=(gateway).
Any advice?
Last edited by Phineas (2008-03-15 23:22:34)

Thankyou everyone for your help. I re-installed Arch ("oh those newbies!") and then went straight to configuring rc.conf without using pppoe-setup. I have configured rc.conf like so:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dhcpd)
My 3com network card's module was already listed first in the modules for Linux to load (Google helped me find out what my card's module is.) Also, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45065 was helpful.
I rebooted with the router plugged in. No error message came up after NETWORK as it started. Ping www.google.com worked!

How do I configure my time capsule to DHCP mode? I had to replace my DSL router, had a network set up before.

I recently had to replace my DSL router. My provider, Earthlink, walked me through the setup and I do have internet access if I connect directly to my Mac. When I tried to use my time capsule, it would not work. The Earthlink tech said I needed to reconfigure my time capsule to DHCP mode. I tried the set up manual and could not make sense of it. My 90 free service is long gone.

and the text in the router mode box came up DHCP and NAT, but the lettering was in a lighter shade than elsewhere and I could not open the drop down box.
You would have had to change some other settings on the AirPort to be able make changes in the drop down Router Mode box.
Your AirPort is already configured as Earthlink suggests.
Try powering off the entire network...all devices....in any order you want
Wait a few minutes
Start the Earthlink modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Start the Time Capsule and let it run a full minute
Keep starting other devices the same way until everything is powered back up
Check the network
If still no improvement, I think you need to let Earthlink know that you have done as they asked, and ask for more steps to try.
Hopefully, another Earthlink user will see this post and offer any special information or tips that only they would know.

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

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.

Cisco or Linksys DSL router that will work with Windows XP Pro?

Any suggestions for a CISCO or LINKSYS DSL router to replace a Zyxel (Century Link) PK5001Z? System is Windows XP Pro, 20 wireless and wired devices connected (including 6 CISCO WVC210 IP cameras ). The Zyxel forwards as many ports as I want, but will only open a limited number of the ports. This limits my access thru the internet (local network sees all cameras). Zyxel support is unable to help.

Hi Edward, if you're looking for a modem/router combo device, Cisco offers the SRP500 series. However this product is EOS/EOL. The small business product line does not have any other DSL termination router aside the SRP series. If your goal is to use a DSL modem and then have a router, you may want to consider RV325 router as it is very feature rich and quite robust.

Using AX as wireless router, how to set up w/ security and airtunes on XP

I previously had a Linksys wireless router. I just purchased an Airport express to use as the wireless router (and remove the Linksys router) as well as use the Airtunes functionality.
After some trial and error, I have been able to wireless connect my computer to the AX on it's own (the linksys router is now unplugged and out of the equation). I can connect to the internet fine on my PC (XP Pro SP2).
Trouble is, when I use the Network Setup Assistant, it shows the apple network listed, but it can't connect to it, no matter how many times I try, reboot my machine or reboot the AX. I've tried both the "setting up a new network" and "editing an existing network" option, and in each selection, after a few minutes of trying to connect to the network, I just get a failure message.
If I try and use the Admin utility, nothing shows up in the left-hand list window, and when I Press re-scan, still nothing shows (it doesn't even appear to scan).
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't find simple instructions on how to set up the AX as the only wireless router for a PC and set up security and Airtunes (I'm assuming enabling airtunes is done in these applications, as I haven't seen anything about that yet either).
Any ideas on how this is done with a PC? Much thanks!

I have found the 'DHCP Reservations' option on the AirPort Extreme to be buggy. I seem to remember it causing IP conflicts for some reason. I think what I remember is that if the computer with the reservation was off, and the DHCP server then handed out that IP to another DHCP client, then there would be a conflict when the reserved IP computer was turned back on. Maybe it was an issue in ealier versions of the AE or OS X as the case may be, and maybe it's been corrected, but I've never bothered using it agian since the method I describe below has always worked without fail. Also, I'm guessing DHCP Reservations would work fine if one manually enters IPs outside of the DHCP range but in the AE 'DHCP Reservation Setup Assistant' the IP options provided are within the DHCP range which to me makes no sense and increases the potential for IP conflicts.
Here's what I do to setup a mixed environment of static and dynamic IPs on my network. It works like a charm and does not require the DHCP server (beyond the distribution of dynamic IPs to hosts using DHCP).
For machines on my network that are accepting services from the public network, I set them up with static IPs using the 'Manually' option (System Preferences/Network/Ethernet/Configure IPv4). The settings for 'Router' IP address and 'DNS Server' IP address should both be set with your gateway/router LAN IP). Use an IP address below or above the DHCP range of adresses (in AE/Internet/DHCP/DHCP Beginning & Ending Address).
i.e. if my subnet is 10.0.1.1 and my DHCP range is 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.150, you could set the static IPs on your local hosts as 10.0.1.x where x = any number from 2 - 99 or from 151 - 200 as an example.
All other machines and devices that do not require static routing are setup as DHCP clients and get a dynamic IP from the AE. To me it's a simpler setup though it might take a little extra time to setup initially.

Using iMac as a router?

Hi,
Currently I have an iMac connected to Airport (connected to a DSL router). I;d like to use my old laptop for browsing etc., but it has no wireless card. I could connect both directly to the router, but it's in an inconvenient location and I'd have to connect the iMac using a USB interface which I don't want to do.
Can I plug the laptop into the iMac directly using the ethernet port, so using the iMac as a router? Remember it's not local file sharing I'm after, rather I want to access the internet from the laptop through the iMac (indirectly using it's internet connection).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, Welcome to the discussion area!
Can I plug the laptop into the iMac directly using the ethernet port, so using the iMac as a router?
Yes. On the iMac go to System Preferences and open the Sharing preference pane. Enable Internet Sharing from AirPort to Ethernet. You will also want to enable Personal Web sharing on the iMac.
