Verizon DSL with Third-Party Modem

I recently purchased a Netgear ADSL2+ modem and a Netgear AC1600 router to replace the Verizon Actiontech combo router-modem that came with my Verizon DSL service. I am posting this problem and solution for anyone else who is or may experience the same problem.
The Issue: the new Netgear modem would not connect to the internet. After several attempts using the setup wizard, trying different manual configurations, copying the Actiontech modem information, etc. the new modem simply would not detect or connect to the internet. The Netgear setup was getting stuck on indentifying a static IP address although the Verizon system uses a dynamic IP.
The Short Story: the solution I found was to disconnect all devices from the DSL for several hours (overnight or possibly shorter). I believe this allowed the Verizon system enough time to reset/erase the previous device MAC address, thus allowing the new device to establish it's own MAC address as well as establish a new dynamic IP address within the Verizon system.
The Long Story: this is an issue I was able to find on other forum posts throughout the internet. However, neither the Netgear tech support nor the Verizon tech support were able to identify the issue or solve it. The Netgear support was definitely the more helpful but ultimately they couldn't help me because the issue was within the Verizon system. The Verizon tech support was only able to go through their prescriptive check list before kicking the issue to the Advanced Tech Support. I was disappointed to find that this is just a ploy for getting customers to purchase a monthly subscription to tech support. What makes the situation more frustrating was that I was that the Verizon support technician kept telling me that they know the issue and could manually reset the MAC address on their end but first I would have to subscribe to the Advanced Support. The Advanced Support person turned out to be nothing more than a salesman with limited technical knowledge. The Advanced Tech Support salesman then refused to reconnect me to the standard tech support or connect me to a manager. In the end, I gave up and went to bed frustrated only to find that the device worked instantly the following morning. Hopefully somone with more tech savy can explain why...

  • AX as client with third party modem/router

    Like others, I'm having trouble getting my AX to join an existing network from my third party modem/router (in this case a Siemens SE 515 dsl). After 2 days of sifting posts, changing settings and reset after reset, I'm about to take the thing back or just toss it out the window. I really only want to use the AX for AirTunes but do want to be able to surf at the same time.
    My modem/router is set as PPPoE with login details and PPPoE pass-through is enabled, as is NAT. The modem is set to get IP address automatically. WEP-128 is on and I've activated MAC access control (and am sure it's the correct id for the Airport). It's set for DHCP in the range 192.168.1.xx. WDS is activated and the router detects other devices around the place.
    In Network settings on my Powerbook I've selected PPPoE and also entered the login details here. In the TCP/IP tab, IPv4 is automatically set to PPP and the computer gets an IP address but it's in 84.xxx... range. Internet access works fine when I use these settings.
    Now, reset the AX, in Airport Admin I set it to client (I don't need to extend the network), entered the WEP key and selected the router network name from the pop-up menu. In the Internet tab I select DHCP, in music tab AirTunes is on and I've entered a speaker name. Click update, then...
    Nothing happens.
    Well, not quite. The orange light on the AX is flashing. When I go into iTunes, the Airport is listed in the pop-up at bottom right but when I select it, iTunes says it is trying to connect and, after a while, fails. Airport Admin can no longer find the AX either.
    My hunch is that this is something to do with IP addresses but I really have no idea. Any hints gratefully received.

    1. your modem/router should not have "PPPoE pass-through" enabled. The PPPoE connection with your ISP must be handled by the modem/router itself - not by your Mac. The modem/router should be functioning as a NAT router, and all the wireless clients (like your Mac and the Airport Express) of the modem/router should be connecting to it using DHCP.
    2. I don't know why you activated WDS on the modem/router. It isn't necessary, and whatever WDS flavor is supported by this modem/router won't be supported by the Airport Express. Turn it off.
    3. On the Powerbook, in System Preferences->Network->Show Airport - (a) under the PPPoE tab the box to "connect using PPPoE should NOT be checked and (b) under the TCP/IP tab the only selection should be to configure using DHCP.
    Before proceeding to the next steps, you must now make sure your Mac is still able to access the internet wirelessly.
    4. Do a factory default reset of the Airport Express. Temporarily switch wireless network connections on the Mac from your modem/router to that of the Airport Express. Run the Airport Admin Utility. In the Airport Admin Utility, select the mode to be "join an existing wireless network". Below that, type in the SSID of your modem/router. Enter the same WEP type and WEP key as used on your modem/router. Make any other configuration changes required under the Music tab, then update settings to the Airport Express. When finished, switch the wireless network connection on the Mac back to that of your modem/router.
    5. If you still have trouble, remove all security (MAC address filtering and WEP) from your modem/router and see if you can then get the Airport Express to connect as a client.

  • Airport with third party wireless router?

    Will Airport Extreme units play well with third party routers? I have Verizon FIOS and would like to use my Airport Extreme base station and Airport Express unit on my home network. I have successfully set up Airport Express in my office as a WDS. Can Airport Extreme base station be set up as part of a WDS?
    Thanks for any insights.

    Will Airport Extreme units play well with third party routers?
    No industry-wide standard exists for WDS, so it is impossible to predict how Apple's implementation of it (or anyone else's for that matter) will interface with other equipment.
    Wikipedia has a short but fairly comprehensive list of third party equipment that allegedly support WDS. Missing from the list is a Linksys access point, which I nonetheless successfully configured as a WDS remote station. They call it "repeater mode".
    Yes Verizon FiOS is absent.

  • Router 876 with 3d party modem

    Dear all,
    i have a 876 cisco adsl router and need to configure a vpn with another router.
    the problem is that the router cannot synchronize (due to bad line) so i will have to use a third party modem that can synchronize.
    This is what i ve tried so far:
    1) configure the modem in bridge mode and connect it via LAN and PPPoE with the router. The router would do the authentication and then i would create my tunnel with the other cisco router.
    That didn't work (i couldn 't make the router authenticate the adsl line)
    2) let the modem do the authentication and then create my tunnel interface. The router can go out in the internet but i don't know how to configure the vpn.
    i have set a network 192.168.12.xxx in Fa 0 with the modem and a 192.168.1.xxx in Fa1 with my internal network.
    The tunnel source IP in the 876 router is a local IP so i port forwarded UDP ports 500,4500 and 10000 in the modem, but i cannot make the vpn work. I am not sure if these are the ports used by the vpn.
    Obviously i am doing something wrong but i don't know what!
    Any help with either two ways would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Verizon DSL with DHCP and PPPoE

    Hello,
    I recently signed up for Verizon DSL (with a Westell 6100 modem) and I am connecting to it through a graphite Airport base station. It was initially set to use DHCP in the TCP/IP section. It would connect to the internet properly but after I stop using my computer for a few hours, I have to restart the base station in order to get the connection again. It was annoying to say the least.
    Then switch to using PPPoE instead of DHCP. Now it works OK. Everytime I turn on my Mac, all I have to do is select my wireless network and I'm connected.
    Could someone explain to me why, with DHCP, I had to restart my base station everytime?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hock, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If your ISP requires PPPoE, it sounds like yours does, then you must PPPoE. Using DHCP in that situation usually doesn't work at all. You must have a neighbor or someone else on the network with an active DHCP server. Your ISP won't like that when they discover it.

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Read this post: 10.8.5 Broke Camera Usage For 3rd Party Apps Like Skype

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you are using SharePoint 2013 integrating with third party SMTP server which provides email function.
    From SharePoint side, I'd suggest you refer to the link below to configure email integration:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee956941(v=office.15).aspx
    If you have already confirm that message is sent from SharePoint, while stuck in queue on SMTP server, then the issue might be related to relay on SMTP server. Since the issue is related to third party product, we do not have enough resource here,
    I'd recommend you contact their support engineer for more assistance:
    https://support.godaddy.com/help/category/154/email

  • Integration of ChaRM with third party tools

    Hi all,
    We are in the process of building the solution for Change Request Management implementation integrated with third party tool. 
    As the normal process for ChaRM is to work with the Service Desk functionality (to raise a ticket, then support message, change request, change document etc...), but what we need is create the change request, and change document directly with ChaRM without using the Service Desk functionality. 
    Did anybody come across this situation?
    Please share your experience. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    there is no problem, as I understand, you want to use ChaRM without Service Desk. OK, than you create directly a Change Request in CRMD_ORDER, the transaction type you have to select is SDCR (standard transaction type), you have to approve it and then you can create a change document, it is not necessary that you start with a Service Desk ticket like SLFN.
    You need configured TMS a SolMan Project with a Maintenance Cycle, thats it (but this is enough , don't forget the customizing).
    I hope I understood you correct

  • How to integrate DRM with third party tool for loading metadata in SQL table

    Experts,
    I am new to DRM and I have a requirement in which we want to integrate DRM with third party tool(lets say SQL table) as target and load metadata from DRM (Parent node, name , alias etc) to SQL table (same column name)
    Is there any way we can integrate DRM to export the same to table directly instead to files. If yes what are the steps we have to follow.
    Is there anyway we can customize DRM to execute queries or run batch
    Can I have a basic example please.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    1. Use DRM Export to Table option, for that create an External Connection first for the Target Database and select the respective Tables to which you wish to Export the Hierarchy information.
    2. You can perform most of the DRM Actions via the DRM_BATCH_CLIENT.exe.
        Please refer to Using the Data Relationship Management Batch Client of DRM User guide.
    let me know if you have any issues.

    Hello Prasad,
    <b>Connection with an External Payroll System</b>
    Payroll Outsourcing functionality allows you to compile master data or payroll data in the SAP system to submit to a third-party service provider in an electronic format. The Outsourcing solution available in the United States and Canada provides a generic interface which writes data into an IDoc (Intermediate Document) for transport to a third-party system. In order to transport data into and out of the SAP system, you must set up a logical system, partner definition, and outsourcing ports.
    If you have built your own payroll interface, using the Interface Toolbox, for example, you can use the Import section of this scenario. The Export section applies only to the transport of IDocs.
    For more information regarding outsourcing, refer to the SAP Library, Human Resources  -> PY Payroll  -> PY-US United States Payroll or PY-CA Canada Payroll  -> Outsourcing.

    Hi Experts,
    I know SAP IDM  7.0 can integrate with third party systems and create user ids on most of the third party systems.
    But I need to know regarding If it is possible to integrate with following systems
    1) Microsoft Exchange 2007 (  I know till exchange 2003 SAP  IDM support )
    2)  Microsoft  Active directory 2008 ( I know till Actice directory 2003)
    3) EMC  Documentum 6.5
    4)  ARIS 7.1.0
    5)  BlackBoard, Release 9.0
    6) Oracle 10g  ( Is it possible to create users at oracle level ? or at what level ? )
    7)  Sun Solaris Sparc  ( Is it possible to create users at  OS level )
    If you have information how on this please share. I know that  provisioning framework will have templates for most of the target systems. I want to know if they are available for above systems on SAP IDM 7.0 or if not have we can connect to them?

    Hi Matthew
    Your expertise in SAP IDM is indeed a great help!!
    >Can't see why not, it's all done via SQL commands. I've done similar things with MSSQL
    You mean that there will be oracle 10g drivers/oledb connectors in SAP IDM and in through SQL commands like "create user alfredo identified by alfredos_secret; " we can create user  in oracle database ?. As you said this should be possible.  What about creating user( user management ) in oracle 10g application  like dba or scot  and assigning the privileges in oracle application?
    >might need to do via UNIX scripts, but it can be done
    You mean that Unix scripts will be defined in SAP IDM and SAP IDM will execute these scripts in the Sun Solaris Sparc ?. It should be possible as you said. By the way how we will be able connect to Sun Solaris sparc ?  Is it via  the option "file " under the "Repositories" with repositories wizard  and later executing the file from SAP IDM ?
    Thank you once again for your expert answers on third party systems.

  • Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

    Hi all
    I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
    For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
    outbound interface:
    1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
    2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
    inbound:
    1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
    2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
    again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
    How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
    how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
    Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.
    Let me your know if you have done differently and that would help oracle apps community.
    thanks
