Vonage phone via cable modem

Can anyone help me? I recently purchased the Vonage phone adapter which I currently am running directly to my macs computer port via ethernet. This totally cuts out the use of my airport and I would really like to get back to using it. Does anyone know how to go about hooking this up?
Current set up: Cable Modem>Vonage adapter>Phone Line> Vonage Adapter>Ethernet cable >Computer

I have this setup and it works quite well.
Cable box output goes to the Vonage box. My Vonage is built into what is essentially a Linksys router with a phone jack. Take the ethernet from one of the Vonage box output jacks to the IN ethernet ( WAN ) jack on the Airport. I then have my Airport output ethernet jack (LAN) back out to my desktop Mac.
Having it setup this way lets the voice traffic have the best shot at getting the bandwidth it needs from the cable. The computers, where a little hiccup is less noticeable get the rest.
The Vonage phone jack I hooked up to a phone splitter so that one goes to the phone on my desk and the other goes into the telephone wall jack. Since I disconnected the phone company connection at the outside box, the phone wiring in my house is all connected to my Vonage and all the wired phones in the house work.
Good luck.

  • The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem.  If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

    The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

  • I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

    I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8)  and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
    When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
    It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
    Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
    Thanks.

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

  • Airport Express not connecting to the internet via cable modem

    Hi. I need help. I just bought an airport express to get wireless internet and airtunes. I connected everything and ran the airport utility. Everything is good, so it says. I can play music through my stereo using airtunes, but when I try to get on the internet I get nothing. My macbook recognizes the network, but I can't load any pages. I've tried unhooking the ethernet from the express and unplugging the power from my modem, then plugging my modem back after about 30 seconds, then reconnecting the ethernet to the airport after another 30 seconds but still, nothing.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly? When I connect my macbook directly to the modem via ethernet I'm on the internet just fine. Thanks!!!!

    Do you have the Express setup to distribute IP addresses?
    If you do, you might turn it off in the Airport Utility.
    Also check you IP address on your MacBook.
    Make sure it is not self-assigned or something different than what your provider (cable modem) usually assigns you...

  • MBP connects to internet directly via cable modem, but airport wifi not working

    Today I came home to a broken wifi. I think Time Warner Cable had an outage in my area which confused my modem and airport router, but anyway. After a short while I was able to connect to the internet if I plug the cable directly from the modem to my laptop (which is how I am currently posting this question). But if I instead connect the cable to my airport and try to connect via my usual wifi network, I don't have any internet.  Here is what I have tried:
    - cycle cable modem several times
    - hard reset as well as factory reset of Airport
    - trying to connect the cable modem to the airport via both WAN and Ethernet entry, power cycling the Airport, waiting several minutes on each to see whether I get internet
    - Using Network > Assistant to create a new location and network
    Under airport utility, the status messages I get are as follows:
    - Internet Connection (tells me to cycle my cable modem, which I have tried)
    - No DNS Servers (I haven't touched any DNS addresses, but this has never been an issue that prevents me from connecting to wifi)
    - Ethernet unplugged (since I'm using the cable to write this message...)
    My hardware is:
    - MBP early 2011
    - ubee cable modem (standard issue from TWC)
    - Airport Express 802.11n (2nd generation).
    My laptop is able to connect to other wifi networks, so that is not the issue.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.

    ...And now it all of a sudden works. However, as I can't delete this post I hope others who have had similar problems may have solutions for future issues.

  • Tiger Server won't acquire address via cable modem

    I have a PowerMac G4 setup to act as a front end for a network. Its running 10.4.3 server. The gateway setting are all setup and ready for DHCP clients but when i plug in my modem cable, the server fails to acquire a proper address. But if i plug my modem cable into my Powerbook running OS X 10.3.9 it configures fine. I can't seem to figure out what i setup wrong on the server that would cause it to misconfigure.

    When you got your cable modem service, did you get online from your Powerbook before your G4?
    Often times cable modem ISP's will only allow one computer to get a DHCP address, and to thus get online. It usually only allows the first computer it 'sees,' based on MAC addresses ('Media Access Control', not short for Macintosh).
    Sometimes you can solve this by powering off your cable modem and attached switches for an extended period (try overnight, to be safe), then turning them back on, and make sure to ONLY connect with the G4.
    I've also seen cases where the above didn't work (with RCN specifically), and I needed to call the ISP and have them do one of the following:
    1) Manually clear the MAC addresses from the modem
    2) Update the modem firmware to resolve a bug which wouldn't allow DHCP to work even after the modem was cleared.

  • Normally i use itunes to transfer files from Laptop to iphone4. Recently i am unable to see my phone in itunes library.  I uninstall and and reinstall and no improvement. When I connect my phone via cable to laptop, itune is not launching automatically.

    I am unable to use itunes to tranfer appln from my laptop to Iphone 4. I uninstall and reinstalled. But still when I connect the phone to PC , itunes is not launching.

    One thing you should definitely try is keeping your iPhone 4 connected via USB cable in your computer and restarting.  This should make the computer recognize that it is connected and as long as you have your iTunes set up to automatically open upon connection with your iPhone you should be all set!

  • Multiple routers/networks on one cable modem

    Hello everyone:
    I've been reading around on the forum trying to find the answer to this question, but have not found any specific answer that satisfies all my requirements.  A more in-depth explanation.
    I have 1 IP address via cable modem.  I want to configure two wireless routers each with different SSIDs.  The main network would be an Apple Time Capsule and would be the parent’s network.  I would connect an AppleTV and the second router (Linksys WRT-310N) to the LAN ports and the parents’ phones/tablets and an Airport Express extender wirelessly.  The second router would provide a distinct wireless network, have a DVR, network hard drive, and blu-ray player connected to the LAN ports and the kids’ handheld devices and a wifi printer connected wirelessly. 
    Ideally, both networks would use WPA2 security and the parents’ computers, a Mac and a Win (the Win running Network Magic Pro) could manually switch between networks as necessary.
    Can someone please tell me if this is possible?  I think it is based on my research, but specific details about how to do it would be appreciated.
    EQUIPMENT
    Modem: Motorola SurfBoard SB6121
    Router 1: Apple Time Capsule
         Wireless Extender: Apple Airport Express
    Router 2: Linksys WCG-310N

    The new modem is configured to only hand out one public IP Address. Nothing you can do but call them and try to get a higher level tech support.

  • Cannot connect via cable on Windows XP home SP2

    Good Afternoon,
    Maybe you can assist me here.
    I cannot connect via cable my N91 (4 gb hdd) to Windows XP Home SP2. I can however connect via cable to my work computer which has the OS Windows XP Pro sp2.
    In both cases both OS's are up to date, I have updated the phone OS to v2.10.013 RM-43. I am using the most up to date drivers that is available on nokia.com as well as the current ed of PC Suite (6.82.22.0)
    The following is the steps I followed in both cases starting with XP Pro
    1. Installed Drivers
    2. Installed PC Suite
    3. When prompted by PC Suite connected Phone via cable to Computer, further install steps were required. No reboot required. PC Suite then picked up phone
    XP Home
    Followed steps 1 + 2 in the same order
    3. Connected N91 to XP Home computer, after driver install activity rebooted computer as requested. Disconnected N91 On reboot to desktop, in PC Suite I clicked on Get connected. Select Cable connection when prompted attached cable to computer and then to phone, on the phone select PC Suite. .
    At this point I get the hour glass and nothing happens, Next is ghosted. It has been like this for 20 mins.
    I have uninstalled both the drivers and the software. For some reason the updater can connect to the phone.
    Can you advise on what I can do.

  • Vonage between cable modem and Airport Express is a problem

    I have my Comcast cable modem connected via Ethernet to the Vonage box which is connected via Ethernet cable to my Airport Express. When I try to connect wirelessly via my Powerbook it's a crapshoot whether or not I can connect to the internet. Mostly the quality is very poor if you can connect at all. If I cut the Vonage out of the equation hooking the cable modem to the Airport Express it works perfect. So Vonage is my problem and I need to change some settings either with my computer or my Airport Express, but which ones? I've been given several different ideas from the information I've sifted through (i.e. change the DNS, change the sharing prefs, get a hard wired router). Oddly enough an old HP computer I have in the basement connected to the internet via another Airport Express has no problems with connection at all. If someone could let me know which of these fixes I am preparing to try would work the best I would appreciate it.

    Interesting. So you have two Airport Express devices configured into a WDS, with the one upstairs functioning as the main base station and the one downstairs functioning as a remote base station. And your PC downstairs connected to the remote base station has no problems connecting to the internet. Is that PC cabled to the Airport Express, or does it connect wirelessly to the remote Airport Express?
    What happens if you bring the Powerbook downstairs to where the PC now resides. Does the Powerbook then get the same great internet connection as the PC?

  • Configurin​g Treo755p (Sprint) to use as "phone as a modem" service for laptop pc via Blue Tooth

    Need help with configuring a Palm Treo755p (Sprint) to be used as "phone as a modem" with my laptop pc via Blue Tooth. The two are "paired" and I can push files (documents) from PC to phone. I can also HotSync wirelessly (via Blue Tooth). I am just wanting to "loose" the cable from the phone to the laptop pc when using "phone as a modem" for internet connectivity on my laptop pc. I see that there is a "virtual com port" established, but when I launch internet explorer, it wants to dial a number. The phone has "instant-on" internet connectivity.

  • I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house and the mobile WiFi is our only option). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

    LOL!!
    I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
    Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
    Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
    But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
    It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
    If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
    But please note the end result of this setup..
    very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
    In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.
