How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
Thank you,

AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
It works with N version airports.
It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
To spell this out.
A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

Westell ProLine 6100 DSL modem with generic wireless router

I am planning to purchase the Starter Verizon high speed internet plan. It comes with a free Westell ProLine 6100/6110 DSL modem. The combined modem and wireless router is $55. I have a wireless router (Linksys and Cisco). Can I use the Linksys or Cisco wireless router with the Westell ProLine DSL modem, or will I have compatibility problems? Thanks.

To use that modem with a router, I point to:

Location: All DSLR (dslreports.com) FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » Hardware » How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
^^
Otherwise, you will...
#1 NOT be able to go anywhere online because of Double NAT.
#2 Or if you can go some where online then..
..For example: If you want to allow users from the net to connect to your computer, you can't just portforward in your generic wireless router. You must also portforward in the Westell 6100. (Called Double NAT Forwarding)
Points to: portforward.com -> Other Guides -> Port Forwarding Behind Two Routers?

I will leave this up to you on what you want to do. Good luck.

How do you set up airport extreme with a windstream all in one modem with the wireless router built in

I have a wireless network that I want to extend so there will be wifi coverage all over the whole house. I want to use the airport extreme to do so. so far all i can get to work is the airport making another network via a eithernet cable that is pluged into one of the ports on the windstream wireless router/moden (all in one you plug the phone line into this and it has the wireless built in) and the other end is in the WAN port of the airport. I guess the real question is do I need to change any settings on the windstream wireless router/modem to do so. Every time I select all the options to extend a network wirelessly I keep getting errors.

The Airport Extreme can not wirelessly extend a 3rd party router, it can only extend another Apple router. If you can somehow keep the two connected via ethernet, you can setup a roaming network. A roaming network is essentially "extending" your network by using an ethernet cable to bridge the two routers.

Ubee D3 modem and AE wireless router

My modem is a Ubee3 from Charter Cable and is a docsys3 modem. My Airport Extreme is dual band wireless router. I'm having no trouble except ....
I have a new(ish) HP Officejet 7000 large format printer hooked up. It's a network printer and until today haven't had a problem printing to it from either of 3 machines. Today none of the machines see it. The MBP doesn't even list it in the Print/Fax pref pane anymore - no settings. I can't find the installer package or anything - weird!!! The Sawtooth in the other room at least sees the printer but can't communicate with it. It's like gnomes came in last night and rifled my computers.
2 things. How can I find the IP address being given to the printer. (Time for manual DHCP) .... and ..... Does anyone know how to get in to the web interface for the modem. My old DSL modem was cake at 192.168.0.1 and bingo, but this cable modem isn't working that way. It's at 10.0.0.1 but doesn't open the interface.
Thank you for any help

If you have not already done so, you need to first perform a complete power cycle of your network. To do this, power everything down...all devices....order is not important
Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run for a moment or two by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the network is fully powered back up
This simple power cycle will often straighten out a connection issue on the network
How can I find the IP address being given to the printer
You need to know the MAC address of the printer. It's on a label on the device.
Then, open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Advanced "gear icon), then click the Logging & Statistics tab below the icons
Click Logs and Statistics near the bottom of the window
Click DHCP Clients to associate the MAC address of the printer with the IP address that it has been assigned
Does anyone know how to get in to the web interface for the modem.
Check with your provider to see if they have this information available.
It's at 10.0.0.1 but doesn't open the interface.
The AirPort Extreme is at 10.0.1.1. Is that what you mean here?

Connecting a cable modem, a linksys wireless router and my MacBook?????

So... My cable modem and MacBook work great when connected with an ethernet cable. How the heck do I hook up and configure my Linksys wireless router with my macbook and the cable modem? This seems like a simple setup, but when I hook it up it doesn't connect me to the internet.
Any help would be awesome!!!!

Darren,
The best advice I can give is to suggest you post in the right discussion group. This is the group for Apple Pages. You want the MacBook group.

Westell 6110F w/ Linksys WRT330N router setup problem

Yesterday I had to swap out my Fujitsu modem for a Westell 6110F and now my Linksys WRT330N router is not working properly.
The modem works when plugged directly into the computer (using it to type this) so the connection is good and the Linksys worked fine up until the modem change.
The Westell 6110F is the model that is the modem+bridge too, there is no onscreen menu (that's only for the Westell 6100) so no conflict with the router at 192.168.1.1 (I've also tried changing this).
I've tried copying the MAC address from the computer and enabling that (seems to be a setting for people with Westell 6100 models but didn't work for me).
And of course I've ipconfig /release /renew and rebooted both modem and router numerous times
I'm in CA so DCHP (no logon needed)
I'm sure there's a simple thing that needs to be changed but I'm at a total loss right now.

OK ... I see nothing there that should prevent things from working as you indicated.
So ... on the router, for the Internet connection type, do you have the option of DHCP? I 'm reading the user document and it suspcisously is not listed as an option -- surely that can't be right -- that's the one you need. Every Linksys product that I know has that as an option.
Local network should be 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 and you should enable the DHCP server (this is probably the default setting).
On the Mac Address Clone page -- select clone the PC's Mac address (00-30-F1-1C-7F-1F) -- this shouldn't be necessary but it will get around any DHCP lease issues you may be having.
On the Advanced Routing page, make sure NAT is enabled.
Connect blue WAN port on the Linksys to the port where you originally had the working PC plugged in on the modem.
Technically ... that should be it.

Wireless Router Setup Screen

When I type in the default IP address into my web browser, it doesn't take me to the router's setup screen like it's supposed to. I want to get there in order to establish securities on my wireless network. How can I get to the set up screen?

On your computer which is connected to the router, go to the command prompt and do an ipconfig, the default gateway number is the one that you should be filling-in on IE's address bar. Don't forget to shut off firewalls on your pc ok?

WRT54G Wireless Router Setup Help Needed

Hi,
I have a WRT 54G router I want to set up on my network.
What I want to be able to do is have the router allow wireless laptops to connect via wireless, but I want the router to assign the IP automatically through DHCP. Is this possible?
My Network information is as follows:
Router would be assigned IP 192.168.72.10
Network information for Office where this is going:
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.72.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.59
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.52
any help would be appreciated...

First of all, let me say that, assuming you have a Linksys router in the main office, that there is no reason why that router could not use both fixed LAN IP addresses, and have its DHCP server turned on and give out DHCP addresses also. So, it seems like you could setup the system in the manner I mentioned in my previous post.   Unless, for some reason, you prefer not to do it this way.
If you really want to set it up with the WRT54G giving out DHCP addresses, then read on:
If you want to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G, you will need to place it on a separate subnet.
I'm still a bit confused by what you have written. You said that the WRT54G router "would be assigned IP 192.168.72.10". And later you said that my assumption was correct that you set the "Local IP Address" to this value.   However, if you want to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G, this will not work, because to use the DHCP server, the WRT54G needs to be on a separate subnet.
Instead, in the WRT54G, you would need to set the "Internet Connection Type" to "Static", then give the WRT54G the WAN address (not local IP address) of 192.168.72.10.   (You will also need to specify the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 , default gateway 192.168.72.1 , and DNS (proxy) server 192.168.72.1 ) You would need to reset the WRT54G's "Local IP address" to a subnet that is not used elsewhere in your network. Since you apparently already use 192.168.1.x and 192.168.72.x subnets, you will need to pick something else, perhaps 192.168.54.1 for the "local IP address" of the WRT54G.
In this type of setup, you would leave the DHCP server of the WRT54G enabled, and wire a LAN port from the office router to the Internet port of the WRT54G.
In this case, the WRT54G is in control of all your router settings, including port forwarding, DHCP server, and wireless settings. Also note that if you need to forward a port, you will need to forward the port through your entire network, not just the WRT54G.
One additional warning. I have not personally used a "3 subnet" system with Linksys routers. So I am not certain that all your DNS addresses will flow through the system properly. If it doesn't work, you may need to enter some of you actual Internet based DNS addresses (or perhaps your Primary and Secondary 192.168.1.59 and .52 DNS servers) into the WRT54G router by hand, rather than using the built in Linksys DNS proxy at 192.168.72.1
Hope this helps.

Wireless router setup

I have used wireless routers in the past...but have just purchased a Cisco E2500. When attempting to set it up using the CD I am asked to assign name + password.....I do this and but the ?? is unable to find the router. This despite the fact that it is 8 ft. away and showing up with 5 bars on my networks available display. When I attempt to connect without going thru the setup **bleep**...it asks me for the password which is part of the setup process....Catch 22.....help????

Do the 30-30-30 hard reset on the router and reconfigure it again...
cheers!

Updating firmware on multiple wireless router setup

Hi, I'm trying to take over support from a tech who's moved out of the area. There's abut 4 mixed of these wireless routers WRT300N's and WAP54G's in the house. I can see and update the firmware for the router at 192.168.1.1.., the other routers are connected through their network ethernet port. Is there any way via the wireless connection to access the other 3 to update their firmware? It would be great to do it from one location. I don't know what IP the installer set each of these up to.

To update the firmware you must know the IP address of the device, regardless whether you use a wired or wireless link.
You should also never do the update through a wireless link. A firmware update must not be interrupted. If it is interrupted you are likely to have a dead router afterwards. As wireless links tend to be far more unreliable then wired links it is always highly recommended to use wired links for the updates.
I would suggest you do a network scan or ping all IP addresses inside your LAN subnet. Check where you get responses and check the arp cache with "arp -a" to see what MAC addresses are behind those IP addresses. This should help you to find and identify the IP addresses of those other devices. If you cannot find them anywhere inside your LAN subnet it may well be that they have an arbitrary IP address somewhere else. In that case, probably the best option would be to reset the device to factory defaults and then reconfigure them.

A modem/wireless router in one, Airport Exreme and Express...oh my, help!

Hi,
I'm upgrading to a faster internet connection (ADSL2, 22MB) and my ISP is forcing me to buy a modem from them for the upgrade to go through (connection price will be the same as my current 8MB ADSL charge). Now, the one and only modem they have on offer is the Netgear DG834GT ( http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834GT for more info ).
This modem is a wireless router and modem in one. My problem is, I already have an AirPort Extreme base station, along with an AirPort Express station (as a WDS to cover the parts of my house which Extreme alone can't cover). So if I get this Netgear modem which is a wireless router as well, is it possible I can STILL use my current setup of Extreme and Express? Surely, if AirPort Extreme alone can't cover my house, this Netgear modem can't manage it on its own. What I want to know is, will I be able to switch off the wireless signal on the Netgear modem once I get it and connect AirPort Extreme through one of the ethernet ports on the modem to act as my wireless router? That way, I can set up AirPort Express as a WDS. There shouldn't be any technical limitations or some kind of block from allowing me to do this, right?
Thanks.

Yes, you certainly can connect your existing Airport Extreme Base Station (set up as a WDS main base station) to one of the LAN ports on the DG834GT. You would want to disable the router built into the Airport Base Station by unchecking the setting to "Distribute IP addresses" found under the Network tab of the Airport Admin Utility. When doing so, ignore any warning messages about doing so on a Base Station set up for WDS. After doing this, pull power from the Airport Express to force it to reboot and restart all wireless Macs.
As for the DG834GT itself you could disable its wireless transmitter if possible, and if not just turn its power down to the minimum. However, you might first see what sort of range you get with just the DG834GT - it is possible that it might succeed in providing all the wireless coverage you need.

RG54G2 Wireless Router Internet Connection Problem

Hi,
(apologies for the long message - trying to cover all details - summary: wireless router often drops internet connection)
I recently bought an RG54G2 Wireless Router, a CB54G2 PCMCIA Wireless card and a D-Link GWL-630 PCMCIA Wireless card. In addition to two laptops connected to the wireless router WLAN, I have two PCs (one Win WP Pro SP 1 and one Win98SE) connected to the router via wired LAN. I also have a SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem connected to the WAN port (this connects to my ISP - Optusnet (Australia) via DHCP).
The problem I have is that the internet connection is disconnected many times a day (often every few minutes, sometimes an hour or so). I am able to reconnect by resetting the wireless router via the wireless router configuration page. When the internet is disconnected I am still able to access the computers on the LAN/WLAN (via Windows Explorer and Ping), I am also able to ping the router and the Cable Modem, but nothing outside of the cable modem.
Also, when the internet is disconnected the System Status page indicates that the router is still connected to the internet, and the Diagnostics page passes the Test Connection test, though no external pings work.
I did not have this problem when the cable modem was connected directly to the Win98SE PC (and other PCs via ICS).
I have disabled the WLAN and the problem still exists with only the wired LAN.
I have changed numerous settings in the wireless router config page with no success (eg disabling DHCP and setting each IP address, minimising LAN and WLAN speeds to 10 and 11MBps plus others).
I have upgraded the wireless router firmware to R1.0.6.0 (no change to the problem).
Searching on Google I have found several other cases of routers with unstable internet connections (none refering to the MSI routers), but none had solutions that helped my situation (most replies suggested updating the firmware).
Any suggestions of how to make the router internet connection stable?
Thanks,
Mike

maybe this is the FIX 4 wireles router internet connection problem
please let me know if any one fix the problem with this tips
thankz

Subject: SOLUTION to my router loosing connection to Windows XP
Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse
I am happy to report that after 8 days of constant battles, reboots, phone
calls, cable pulling, router changing, it seems that I finally have found a
combination that has had me using Verizon DSL account for over 12 hours so
far without any kind of interruptions.
Since so many of you tried giving me comments and suggestions, I felt that
it is necessary for me to post this here so that the next person will not
(hopefully) need to go through this hell as I did!
My original problem was that when after I purchased a D-Link Wireless Router
DI-624, I would get disconnected from Verizon DSL at least once every 2
hours or so. My internet access would "freeze" and then a little popup box
at the bottom right system tray would tell me that the "LAN cable has been
unplugged". After about a minute or so, my internet connection would be
back working This was NEVER happening during the 2+ years I was using my
Westell modem alone (running in router mode).
Please keep in mind: The problem I was having was not wireless related as
it was happening to the desktop computer to which the router/westell was
connected to!
During these last 8 days, I tried: one DI-624 wireless router, two Netgear
614v3 routers and two Linksys WRT54G v.2 routers. In addition, I received a
brand new Westell 2200 modem from Verizon. I also tried about four
different CAT-5 cables. Here is the final outcome:
I have the Linksys WRT54G (version 2) wireless router connected to the
Netgear Fast Ethernet FA310TX network card in Auto-Sense mode (using the
built-in XP drivers, as Netgear told me that there was never a newer
revision released). I have DISABLED the built-in 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
network card (via the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard BIOS), DISABLED the
Zero Wireless Configuration service, and have put in the IP/Gateway/DNS
address numbers inside my Windows XP Network Connections | LAN setup. My
operating system is Windows XP Pro SP1 and the modem is a Westell 2200
configured as bridge only.
If my situation continues to be stable, I *might* try to go back to the 3Com
built-in card (disable any power management) and then re-enabling the Zero
Wireless Configuration services. But in reality, I am happy with the way
things are and have already spent enough time trying to get my router to
work with Verizon DSL without having it drop connections!
Now, the next step will be setting up the WIRELESS part of this. I don't
even yet have a laptop with me on the premises, but the 802.11g card that I
already have is the D-Link DWL-G650. I hope and assume that this will work
okay with the Linksys...
One thing I must say is that I never realized that how many problems other
users are having. I would have thought that since 802.11x has been around
in the mainstream by now 2+ years, that things would have been much more
"system friendlier". And again, my issues were not even WIRELESS related.
All 3 tech supports were not really helpful, as none of them realized that
the problem is somehow between the router and Windows XP (Ethernet card?)
loosing a connection, which of course results in Verizon DSL loosing the
connection also.
One other comment about the Netgear 614 v.3 router: A number of people have
responded to tell me that they have had this random "router resetting"
happen to them (where the routers behaves as if someone turned the power off
and then back on, and the lights flash) just as if you first turn it on). I
was lucky to witness it myself during one of the "disconnects" that I had.
This was actually the reason why I went back to try the Linksys one more
time. So, I would definitely recommend staying way from this 614 (version
3) model.
Once again - THANK YOU everyone!

Poor internet connection over wireless router

We have a modem and wireless router setup in our house. The PC Laptop connects wirelessly and gets a fair internet speed. The Mac Laptop on wireless however gets a very very poor internet speed over the network. Any ideas why this is so?
The speed increases a bit when I hook the mac laptop directly up to the modem via cable, but the wireless is the problem...
thx

lots of questions need answers.
name of provider?
the speed you signed for?
cable or DSL or ?
modem is older or not?
firmware update required?
router model?
firmware update required?
at least start here.
