WRT54GL using old modem/router as modem component?
I'm constantly having little issues with my ADSL modem/router, which is some Taiwanese unbranded model that my girlfriend provided.
As such, I'm thinking about buying the WRT54GL, and using Tomato or perhaps OpenWRT.
Given that this is just a router, I'll need an ADSL modem too. Will my current modem/router model be able to perform as the modem only?
(Or does it really depend exactly what my router is capable of? If so, are there any settings that I should look out for in the router web config pages, because I'm quite new to this stuff.)
Thanks.

OpenWRT seems nice, but I've never run Linux on any embedded systems, or used network devices more than the average consumer usage.
It seems a bit too technical to me. It seems to be a full-blown little distro, that can could be used to turn the 54GL into a seed box (perhaps?), if I understand correctly?
Tomato seems a lot easier to install and use, for my requirements.
Tomato may be easier yes - less modular, so more stuff out of the box. You barely need the command line anymore with the latest OpenWrt though, if you do not want to use it.
As for being a seed box - you need a way to connect a HD to your router for that, and the WRT54G(L) series don't have any USB ports for example to my knowledge, so it depends on your connectors (and available RAM, most importantly).

Using old Sky router as Access Point
Hello, I am new to the forum so I hope have posted correctly. Having recently moved house I have switched to BT from Sky and have been supplied with the HH5 and the Infinity package. Due to house lay out wifi signal is not great throughout. I am wanting to use my old Sky (Sagem 2504n, I think) router as an access point. Is this possible or would need to flash the old sky router in order to do this. My first attempt did not work (when I try to set ip in sky router to within HH range I get an error message). Basically it would be good to know if I need to flash the firmware or if it is possible to do with the sky router as is before I aware too much more time.. Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.You should be able to use it as a wired access point provided you change the IP address, and disable DHCP.
This guide, for a Voyager router, should give you some idea of the settings to use.

Problems reconfiguring ADSL modem+router to modem only
I've currently got the Netgear DG834G working as a modem+router and connected to the AEBS which is in bridge mode.
I want to use the AEBS as the router. I've discovered how to set the DG834G to modem only, but I cannot get the internet connection working like this. It connects using PPPoA. It asks me for a LAN IP address.
I'm not sure what I should be entering on the AEBS. In Airport Utility, under Internet, I have connect using Ethernet, IP address as the static IP address given to me by my ISP, for subnet mask I've entered 255.255.255.0, for router address I didn't know what to enter, and I've tried using the same as the static IP address, also tried a slight variation on that (increased the last value), I've tried using the IP address of the modem, but nothing has helped. The DNS server settings I've entered are those provided by my ISP. For connection sharing, I've set it to Share a Public IP address. NAT is enabled.
I've got no idea what is wrong. I've read in other threads about power cycling the devices, so I've tried that and it didn't work.
Perhaps if someone could point me to the right settings, perhaps it's worth power cycling again with the right settings. I'm particularly baffled by 2 things 1) what the AEBS wants for the Router Address and 2) why the modem has an IP address (perhaps just for accessing it's web based control panel?).
Help would be most welcome - I feel I have exhausted all of my 'trial and error' options.If your ISP has provided you with a static IP address, then they will also have provided you with a subnet mask, a gateway or router (they are the same thing in this context) IP address, and domain name server address(es). It is essential to know this router (or gateway) IP address.
I've just reconfigured the DG834G back to mode+router, and noticed that when it connects it shows the subnet mark and gateway. My ISP only provided the IP address, and the Netgear seems to get the other details automatically. I have made a note of them, so I will try again entering them on the AEBS.
What remains unclear to me is exactly what functionality remains to the Netgear device when - as you said - it becomes configured to work as a modem only.
The info on the web control panel says it loses all routing functionality when in modem only mode. -
How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
ArupThis is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible. -
877 using fe as WAN (ISP provider modem/router) - VPN won't come up!
Hi,
Due some changes with our ISP, the atm interface on the 877 router won't support stable connections anymore. The fix I'm having to do is to use our ISP provided modem/router, and have the 877 use an fe port as a WAN port and instigate the VPN from there.
I've had issues with getting the WAN port to work correctly that I got fixed here:

Hi,
I have an existing modem/router from my ISP that does DHCP and NAT with base IP 192.168.1.1 distributed in the wireless network. I use this wireless network for our private devices. I could turn off the DHCP server in this first router, but there isn't a separate setting to turn off NAT.
I want to connect my Airport Extreme (4th gen) to this existing router to create a separate wireless network for visiting guests, where IP addresses of 10.0.0.0 etc. are used. So I do not want to use the Airport Extreme in bridge mode, as I would like to keep the devices on the first network 'invisible' for those on the second network. (P.S. when connected in bridge mode, the Airport works well and can distribute a network with a different name from the first. It's just that I would feel more comfortable about our privacy if the Airport were to distribute a different IP range. False security, maybe?)
I've tried doing this by 'Sharing a public IP address' in Airport Utility's Internet tab, leaving TCP/IP's setting to 'via DHCP', setting DHCP addresses to start with 10.0.0.2 up to 200 with all else blank, and not using a standard host nor NAT-PMP in the NAT tab.
When I do this the Airport complains of a 'double NAT issue'. Internet connectivity seems to be OK, but when switching between the two networks on my Mac I get complaints about my IP address being in use by another device intermittently.
Can anyone help in how to get the 'double NAT issue' resolved?
Thanks!So if someone is connected to the modem/router network they will be able to see the HD I will have put in to the AirPort Extreme?
As I said above.....since the modem/router and AirPort are bridged, devices on the modem/router wireless will be able to "see" devices on the AirPort wireless, and vice versa.....
If they can see the HD connected to the AirPort Extreme, will they be able to access it
Yes, unless you plan to password protect the drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
or will they still need the password needed to get onto the AirPort Extreme network?
The modem/router and AirPort Extreme are bridged. They are on the same network. All devices are on the same network when the modem/router and AirPort are bridged. Not sure how else that I can say this.
Also, because it is bridged, I shouldn't have any problems accessing the HD I will have connected to the AirPort Extreme from an external location?
Accessing devices from a remote location is never easy....and a topic for a different post/discussion. If you have a "static" Internet IP address from your provider, and have all the details on how to forward ports on your modem/router, you are off to a good start.
Apparently there is some addressing issues because devices can be seen as "Double IP" because the modem/router would have allocated IP's as well as the AirPort allocating IP's thus making connections slower until resolved
When you "bridge", all IP addresses are issued by one device. There will be no conflicts on the network, since they are bridged.
Once again, in very simple terms, you have two doors (access points) that open into the same room (network). One "door" is the modem/router and the other "door" is the AirPort Extreme. They are on the same network....("room") because they are bridged. -
Anyone use US Robotics Modem Router?
Hello
I have just purchased a US Robotics ADSL MOdem&Router Model no: 9108.
My problem is this, i can connect to internet and ichat with no problem however, i sometimes get this "insuficient bandwidth" error message.
I also cant send or recieve any files anymore, which i could before.
I have tried to set up my virtual server settings by enabling/opening the ports i have seen mentioned on these forums but none of that helpd.
I also had an issue with the port 16403-16834 (may be wrong on that coz dont have em in front of me now)...anyway, when i tried to add those ports i got an error saying soming like "invalid port"
My main issue is sending files and this "insufficient bandwidth" problem.
Can anyone help me please???
ThanxHi Afroboogie,
Some people use sites likes http://flickr.com/ or http://photobucket.com/ to post pics and then link them here. (or a web site)
My Port Fowarding looks like the one top left here
It does not have any set for iChat as I use UPnP.
I have an option to set TCP or UDP or Both for the Protocols.
iChat logs on and sends Text chats, files and pics on Port 5190. One protocol is used for Logging on and basic Text chats. The other protocol is used for Sending Pics in Chats (Direct Messaging), Sending files and Group chats.
The change to port 443 will allow you to at least log on and Text chat. It may not allow you to send files as this is the other protocl and can not be changed in iChat and therefore will still be blocked.
It might also be that the other AV ports are also blocked.
IPNetMonitorX may be useful in checking this out.
It has a trial period.
You need to scan the ports iChat uses for AV chats against a know IP.
Find a Buddy who can tell you their Public IP address and has iChat open.
Test ports 5190 on TCP and UDP and test these singularly for UDP 5060, 5678.
Test this group all in one go on UDP 16384-16403
Where I was talking about lowest to highest, was about Start and End ports. You listed 16384-16403 as 16403-16384 which was the reverse order and likely to cause the error you had.

Is it possible to use an Airport Extreme router with AT&T 2Wire modem/router?
My AT&T 2Wire modem/router does not have great range, speed, or compatibility with my Macbook and iMac. I bought an Apple Airport Extreme to try to remedy my problem, however, I did not realize it was purely a router. Is it possible to use the 2Wire modem/router as just a pure modem and connect it to the Airport Extreme? Would it be more beneficial to purchase a new modem that does not have wireless functionality? I have looked at previous posts but couldn't find any definite answers. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks!
The easiest route to take here would be to simply turn off the wireless function on the 2-Wire modem/router and then configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to provide a dual band wireless network.
If the 2-Wire performance shortcomings are the result of other wireless interference issues at your location, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme may not perform any better, wireless wise. It's not possible to know things like this in advance....more of a case of you won't know until you try.
In theory, it might be possible to configure the 2-Wire product as a simple modem...but I doubt that AT&T would be willing to tell you how to do this or provide support in the event of problems.
It's getting to be hard to find a simple DSL modem these days, and even if you do, it will have to be re-configured as a Bridge to work correctly with the AirPort Extreme, so that complicates things as well. -
Keep getting disconnected to Internet using 2Wire modem/router
I have a Mac Sno Leopard 10.6.3 OS. We use AT&T/Bellsouth DSL through a 2Wire Modem/Router. I keep getting the "You are Not Connected to the Internet" Message and lose my connection for a short while, and then it comes back up. This will sometimes happen several times in an hour; other times it will go for hours and be fine. No systemic pattern; very intermittent. When I use my Mac Book on other routers, it is fine. Anyone have any suggestions? Apple has been unable to help me.
I had the same experience myself (brand new 2Wire router and new MacBook Pro) and spent some time searching for answers. Currently, the only thing I found to work consistently is to launch Terminal and have it ping the router constantly while I am connected. This eliminates all the drops I was experiencing. I left my MacBook Pro connected for over a week straight to confirm the drops are totally gone.
Steps to ping the router in OS 10.5.8:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on Network
3. Highlight AirPort on left side
4. Click 'Advanced'
5. Click 'TCP/IP'
6. Highlight the number series after Router: (should be similar to ###.###.#.###)
7. Copy to the clipboard
8. Under Applications > Utilities, launch "Terminal"
9. Wait a few seconds for it to initialize and present a prompt
10. type "ping", then a space, then paste the router IP address
11. Hit Return
This will work for as long as your system is powered on. You will need to repeat the process if you restart. -
New non-apple modem/router can't find old Time Capsule
I've been using a Time Capsule for both backup and wifi for years. But now I have a brand new modem/router (non-apple). I wanted to turn off the wifi on the Time Capsule and just use it for backup. I found instructions on how to do that and did it, but when I went to update to the new settings there was an error and now my system cannot find the Time Capsule, even though it is plugged in, connected and showing a steady green light. The TC is connected to the modem via ethernet and did show up long enough for me to change the settings so I'm confident I have the right physical setup. I've tried restarting both my computer and the TC, but Airport Utility still can't detect a device. What do I do now?
Thanks!Full factory reset on the TC..
Then plug into it directly with ethernet and do the configuration.. bridge mode.. off wireless if you want.. although there is nothing wrong with still running the wireless and the 5ghz is much faster than using wifi usually on a Mac at least from close range. Update and plug the TC back into the modem.. this is usually necessary whenever you move things around.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change. -
Using Airport Extreme (802.11n) with Netgear Wireless Modem Router
I have a quick question, can I use the Airport Extreme in a wireless modem router?(http://www.netgear.co.uk/wirelessadslrouterdg834g.php)
By plugging the Airport into the Netgear router would I be able to by pass and run a network this way. I have a 802.11n enabled MacBook and Apple TV, the Netgear is the weakest link!!!
Many thanks.neptune2000's post was implying that you connect the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the Netgear.
The AEBS does NOT contain a modem. Therefore you will need a modem, either the Netgear or another. -
Using WRT610N router with Westell 327W modem/router on Centurytel
I have DSL with Centurytel and have a Westell 327W modem/router installed. Can I install and use a WRT610N router with this setup to get a faster wireless connection?
Both the wireless router can work together...You need to cascade both the router.

Modem/Router to use with Time Capsule
Hi forum,
I would like to work around a DOUBLE-NAT problem that I am encountering in my business network.
Currently, my ADSL modem/router is an Orange Livebox which creates its own internal network (192.168.1.x).
My Time Capsule is connected through ethernet to this LiveBox in DHCP/NAT mode. It creates a second internal network (10.0.1.x). All the rest of the network equipment is attached wirelessly or by ethernet to the TC network. My goal is to manage the network (ports, dhcp addresses, etc.) through my Time Capsule, not through the Livebox. That is why I configured TC in DHCP/NAT mode.
The downside is that it creates a Double-Nat problem, because each packet is going through both networks (192.168.x.x and 10.0.x.x). Lately, Apple Support is telling me that this Double-Nat issue could be the cause for failing to answer iPhone calls directly from my MacBook Pro (new feature of Yosemite) when connected in my business network, where it works perfectly when connected from home in where there is no Double-Nat issue.
I contacted Orange Livebox technical support and asked wether it was possible to de-activate the router portion of the Livebox, at least the DHCP/NAT portion of the box since I would not mind to keep the built-in firewall of the box. But the answer was no. It looks like I cannot turn off the router portion of the Livebox at all, so my only solution for them is to enable the bridge mode on TC, which I still don't want.
I was told to buy a ADSL2 modem and replace my Livebox with it, so TC would effectively become the only router on the network. That looks to me like a satisfying solution (at least on paper).
Would any of you know and recommend a particular brand/model to work with Time Capsule. Ideally, what i would like this modem/router to do is :
Modem part: connect with my provider in ADSL2 and provides my credential to establish the connection
Router part:
DHCP/NAT = OFF
built-in firewall = ON
I assume it would be the best way to get the best of my Time Capsule (802.11n - 3rd Gen).
Thanks for your help or advices on the matter,
LancelozI believe I followed your structure step by step. And here is what I got (see attached files). Hence my question about the TC hardware and software version that you are using.

Using an Actiontec Router/modem
Hi,
I am helping a neighbor hook up her wireless network.
she has cable internet (she just switched from dsl on Qwest which she had a dsl wireless router/modem from)
Can anyone tell me if we can use this on the cable network?
I was thinking :
Hook PC to Cablebox, cable box to Actiontec.
Actiontec wirelessly transmits to Macs.
Any help would be great!! LauraLaura,
The new ISP will know better what hardware (cable modem) is compatible with their system. You can also check with the manufacturer whether their combo modem/router can be used with cable service. Without knowing what modem/router you have it's hard (for me) to research. However, in as much as you have the info you can do the research. -
We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?
No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(
