What is Router Address?

Hello all
Setting up the new Airport Extreme Base station. I have one question.
In the Internet Connection menu, I changed it to using Ethernet and the Configure IPv4 to Manually.
I typed in the IP Address and Subnet Mask but I don't understand what is the Router Address?
Is that the Default Gateway?

The Internet Connection tab settings are used to configure the Internet or WAN-side of the router. In most cases your ISP provides this information automatically to your router when you select Using DHCP for the Configure IPv4 setting. When you choose Manually you would have to enter these values yourself ... which, of course, you would need to get these from your ISP.

  • What is Router Address in Airport Extreme

    I am trying to configure Airport Extreme for Cable modem(Comcast). Please help me on what i need to fill in Router address field for 'using DHCP' option.
    Can I see the address in Airport extreme itself or is it is referring to any IP or something.

    I was having problems connecting the Time Capsule to our Roadrunner modem. Time Capsule gets the IP address from the cable modem, but you have to convince the modem to accept that its router has changed and it needs to re-assign the IP address. One way is to turn the modem off, wait a bit, and turn it back on.
    For me, suggestions to power off the modem didn't work. But this was because the modem works for our phone service, too, and it has battery back-up. Unplugging the modem never forced it to reconnect.
    What worked was disconnecting the modem from the cable. I unscrewed the F-connector (antenna cable) from the back of the modem, waited a few minutes, then reconnected. I got a green light!

  • What is a router address

    and how do i find it??

    Depending on your configuration, including router, settings,
    and other hardware present, you may not need to input all
    the IP settings; the internet provider's equipment often does it.
    In your System Preferences> Network> you have to be sure
    the means of going online is selected (by checkbox) and it
    is dragged to the top of a list of possible ways to go online.
    If you have a wireless internet card in the computer, the
    AirPort item needs to be checked and given priority over
    the others; and if you use Ethernet cable directly, then the
    Ethernet item needs to be checked and given priority. More
    than one can be checked, but efficiency indicates using one.
    In OS X versions earlier than Tiger 10.5.x/10.4.x, the system's
    preference panels may be named and laid out differently, so
    this is a minor inconvenience in setting up internet access.

    Which OS X version do you have, and does the router
    support the computer you have? A newer router may
    also need to be configured to work with an older 802.x
    b/ wireless protocol, since the newer routers often also
    support 802.11/n/g and may need to be configured by
    wire (ethernet) if you can't do anything with the wireless.
    A general search gives clues about a router and address.
    ' Mac OS X what is router address ' - google results:
    I see some definitive results relevant to 'Mac OS X' in the
    above, a more generic search would not include that name
    in the search and then would cover all kinds of router info.
    Your computer's Help in the Finder menu bar should also
    list some items relevant to your computer's setup info.
    Hopefully this helps you somewhat...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Have situation on a unprotected wireless when accessing I cannot get a router address.  I'm on system 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro summer 2009.  Any thoughts on how to determine what's up?

    Have situation on a unprotected wireless when accessing I cannot get a router address.  I'm on system 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro summer 2009.  Any thoughts on how to determine what's up?

    You have basically verified that the issue is NOT with your MBP, but with this particular Wi-Fi network. Even though it may be unsecured, the provider may have elected to configure it for MAC filtering. In this case I am referring to the MAC (Media Access Control) address and not your Mac laptop itself. If this has been enabled, your Mac would only be able to connect if the Mac's MAC address was added to that filter.

  • "IP and router address not consistent with subnet mask"

    Hi all,
    i have one of the old Powermac G5's running os x 10.3.5 "Panther" with a dual 2.5ghz processor, 512mb or ram, 160 gig hd, and no wireless card. I've been trying to hook the computer up to my network via an Ethernet cable (I have a Linksys WRT54G series router).
    the problem is this: When I go through the Network utilities using the "assist me" option, select the LAN option, put in the necessary information (IP address, subnet mask, router address, and the dns host), and select continue, this message pops up:"IP and router address not consistent with subnet mask".
    What I've found is that no matter if the computer is plugged in with a cable to the Ethernet port the message comes up which is very unusual.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you verified that you indeed have the proper subnet entered?
    Why don't you just let the Mac obtain its ip address from the router via DHCP?

  • Change router address?

    Our SMC router died today at work. I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. Now all the Windows computers here are looking for a specific router address. Rather then change them all, I would like to just change the router address to match that of the previous. Cant seem to figure out how to change the address. I can see the address, but cant make any changes to it. Is this not an option? Or what am I missing here?

    My guess would be that the 64.230.197.40 address is the WAN side IP address that you are receiving from your service provider.
    The 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1 is the local area network address. Depending on which range you choose, devices connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive IP addresses as follows 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, etc. Or if you are using 10.0.1.1 as the router address, then it would go 10.0.1.2, 10.0.1.3, etc.
    I think your devices should be pointed to either 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1.
    If you open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Extreme, to the right you will see some information about the device. The IP address of the device on your local network will be displayed there. If you haven't changed the DHCP ranges, the IP address will be 10.0.1.1.

  • Setting router address

    I access the Internet via an 802.11 Netgear router, which in turn routes packets to ISP-side gateway, and then on to ISP-run NAT.
    The Netgear router runs a DHCP server, which assigns requestees IPs from a 10.222.139.* block assigned to me by the ISP.
    ISP's gateway is at 10.222.222.254. The Netgear router is configured to give out the router address as part of DHCP lease. The Apple laptop I have seems to be ignoring the setting, insisting that the router is at 10.222.139.2, which is the static address of the wireless router.
    I tried working around this bug by trying to specify the gateway address manually, but OS X seems to have the setting disabled when address is assigned by DHCP.
    The issue is definitely Apple-related, as I have two laptops running Windows XP, a laptop running Windows Vista, and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux, and they all Just Work without me needing to change any of the settings.
    How can I make an Apple laptop either do what the DHCP server tells it, or manually configure it to get the address from DHCP, and hardcode that parts it ignores so the Internet connection works?

    What do you mean when you said:  "As soon as I change the address  under Router IP, and after that enter the new router address (eg 192.168.1.254), I get this phenomenon that I cannot login to the router anymore."   Are you entering two addresses?   You should only be entering one address.
    Please follow this procedure:
    1)  Power down your entire network.  Disconnect the WRT160N from all other devices.
    2)  Power up the WRT160N and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    3)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the WRT160N to reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    4)  Power down the WRT160N.  Connect one computer, by ethernet cable, to a LAN port on the WRT160N.
    5)  Power up the WRT160N and computer.  Login to the WRT160N at 192.168.1.1 .
    6)  In "Network Setup", change the "Router IP address" from 192.168.1.1  to  192.168.1.254
    7)  Change the "DHCP server" to "disabled". 
    8)  Click the "Save Settings" button.  Wait (3-60 seconds) for the screen to refresh.  At this point in time, you will likely be disconnected from the WRT160N.  Do not worry about this.
    9)  Power down the WRT160N and your computer.
    10)  Next, using an ethernet cable, wire a LAN port on your modem to a LAN port on the WRT160N.  Leave one computer wired to the WRT160N.  Do not connect anything to the Internet port on the WRT160N.
    11)  Power up your modem, WRT160N, and your computer.  It should work.  Using the computer that is wired to the WRT160N, try to access the WRT160N setup page at 192.168.1.254
    12)  If you still have trouble, repeat above procedure, but give the WRT160N the address 192.168.1.2 , and see if that address will work.

  • Trouble finding router address

    I am trying to connect to my Local University network by cable.
    i have IP adddress and subnet mask but no router address.
    How do I find router address???
    Also I have windows system running perfectly on same cable (with all addresses, but i dont know router add. in either case)

    I have had a mac mini since 2005, no issues connecting; I have another mac mini from 2008 intel, a 2009 mbp13" a 2009 imac and never had issues with connectivity; I use my mbp at numerous offices and get wifi access all over town with no issues at all; after reading plenty posts I will consider my self lucky.
    I have a wndr3700 and use a/b/g/n;
    What i do have issues is with "access list"; I had to reset to factory settings and then only the machines that i registered after the hard reset through mac addresses work; when i tried adding another mbp 13" it renders it useless as it cannot connect, all we get is a "connection time out" message.

  • Conflicting Information/Router Address problem

    Now, I realize this topic has been discussed previously, however, it would seem that my problem has more to it than that.
    When I plug my ethernet cable to my brand new airport express which i JUST bought today, i get an error telling me my IP address is invalid, there fore i checked one of those websites that tells your IP address and it turns out that the address i COMPLETLY different from the one provided in my info, therefore i tried chaning the IP address in the internet connection tab, but doing so demands a router address, which i have absolutly no clue what it is.
    all updates are uploaded, the only thing i cant seem to update is version 7.1.1.
    please, i really need help...

    Looks like you're trying to extend your AEBSn network wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)--correct?
    If so, then here are the steps to do so...
    WDS Setup
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete.)
    Main Base Station Setup (AEBSn)
    - Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as the main base station.
    - Open AirPort Utility (located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    - Select the main base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window.
    - Enter the base station password if necessary. If the base station is using the
    default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    - Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    - Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    - Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    - Click the Add button and enter the MAC address of the base stations you want to connect to this base station.
    - Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup (AX)
    - Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the base station you want to set up as a remote base station.
    - Open AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Macintosh computer, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows).
    - Select the remote base station, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    - Enter the base station password, if necessary. If the base station is using the default password of public, you will not be prompted for a password.
    - Enter the same network password as the main base station, if necessary.
    - Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    - Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    - Enter the MAC address of the main base station in the WDS Main field. The MAC address is also referred to as the AirPort ID and is printed on the label on the bottom of the base station.
    - Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

  • Setting up AirPort Extreme/Router Address?

    During setup, I am getting an "invalid IP address" error message. I have checked with my ISP and they have verified my IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DNS Server Numbers. They indicated that they do not have [use] a Router Address, and that I must obtain it from Apple. When I attempt to populate the Router Address field with the Ethernet number found on the bottom of the Extreme unit, it is not recognized (accepted) because it contains letters, not just numbers. This problem appears to be the only thing preventing me from successfully completing the set up. What is a Router Address anyway?
    A solution to my problem will be much appreciated. I see from the volumes of questions being posted about AirPort Extreme setup that many are not simply taking it out of the box and setting it up successfully in "about five minutes" as advertised.
    Thank you,
    Dr. Eric

    I tried what you suggested, and many other things. None solved my problem. However, what did solve my problem was downloading the latest (posted Jan 25) Airport Extreme update. Once I did that, I opened the AirpPort Utility, went through the setup process, and I now have an internet connection. When I went through setup, a router address was automatically assigned.
    Thanks for you input.

  • NATing the default route address

    We're NATing the destination addresses, using the ip NAT outside source static command and sending the NATed packets to a specific address through the defaut route (192.168.3.2). Does anybody happen to know if we can use the native address of the default route (192.168.3.2) in the default route statement (ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.2) and it will get statically NATed or use the already NATed default route address?
    I believe the NAT command will only work on the destination addresses that are in the packets and since the default route address will not be a destination address in a packet, it will not work on it, but am not sure.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    to be sure I understand the question:
    You are translating let´s say the outside address 192.168.1.1/24 to 172.16.16.1/24
    ip nat outside source static 192.168.1.1 172.16.16.1
    In order for this to work, you would need a static route sending traffic for 172.16.16.0/24 to the next hop of the router where 192.168.1.1/24 originates (let´s say the router has IP address 10.10.10.1):
    ip route 172.16.16.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
    Now what is your next step, what do you want to accomplish ?
    Regards,
    GP

  • What is ip address for officejet 4500

    Can you please tell me what the IP address is for officejet 4500n

    The IP address is issued by your router, so will be different for different printers.  Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see your printer's IP.

    On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
    thanks

    Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

  • Router address to make my wireless secure

    My wireless has never been secure. I am trying to now make it secure but I can't find the IP address or router address for my Airport Express. I have checked the manual. I have searched the web. Any ideas?

    When you say that you are trying to make the wireless secure, are you saying that you need to set up security and a password for the wireless network?
    If yes, you need to use the AirPort Utility application for this.
    It is already on your Mac, located as follows:
    Applications > Utilties > AirPort Utility

  • What wireless router would be good to use with OS 10 Lion at home?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with Leapard and I just recently purchaced a iMac with Lion. I want to set up a wireless network with my provider, in my house. What wireless router should I use that is compatable with Lion OS?

    Virtually any modern wireless router that has its latest Firmware updates should work fine.  I myself have been extremely pleased with my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, but spending that much money is not necessary.
    Hope this helps
