Can I connect printer to the usb port on the cable Modem CM100

Hello

This may seem like a stupid question, but here goes... I know that the usb port on my Linksys Cisco CM100 cable modem is an optional way to connect the modem to the computer. I wonder if I can use the usb port to connect my HP 1020 laser printer instead.

The printer is not a network printer, and so I know that it may not work, but I have seen a few cases where a virtual port and install it as a local printer got to work.

If I can connect the printer to the modem, and then he would give me a way to print from my laptop in the other room.  My printer is just beside my modem configuration and the router. I have a Linksys router WGR614 wireless who sees the devices on my network share, so I think he could see the printer connected to the modem (?)

I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. I didn't damage my equipment by blindly try this without knowing a little something. (I assume that the heart of my question is, on the CM100 usb port can be used for any usb device)?

(I have Windows 7 64-bit operating system, in case you need to know).

Thanks to anyone who can answer.

A standard print server will allow you to connect a USB printer to your network. There are models wired and wireless depending on how you want to connect to the network.

  • Connect the Airport Extreme via Powerlink to the cable Modem

    I have problems with wifi at home as the location where the my cable modem is far from ideal. I currently connected to an Airport Extreme, which works like the router (the cable modem has the router function disabled). Attached to the AE is also a powerlink and I have an Airport Express connected to the powerlink, which has its own network.

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    I'm getting a second Airport Extreme soon as well and I have several express in my house, but the problem is that my wifi is not fast at all.

    Powerlink adapters are Devolo 600 & 1200.

    Thank you

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    It's always a good idea to place the 'main' AirPort router as close as possible of the area where most of the wireless devices should be used in this sense, your idea is a good thing... and in theory at least. ... .the powerline adapters allow you to do.

    However, in practice... you won't really know how well... or even if... this type of installation will work until you try you. The reason for this is there is so many different things that can affect the performance of a type of current line of the installation program.

    If you have time, there is certainly no harm in trying this type of configuration.  Post your results if you decide to try it.

  • Intermittently, Time Capsule does not connect to the cable Modem

    Capsule time bought a few weeks ago.  Barely implemented.  TC does not recognize the cable modem.  These forums to get help.  Tracking the specific set of sequence with long delays between the steps and the modem and the TC.  It worked for about a month.  Now about once a day the TC works but not internet wireless or ethernet through the CT.  If I unplug the TC and let it restart and initialize internet connection returns.  During the internet cuts I have ethernet and Wi - Fi at transport CANADA, printers, and drives on the network as well as the time Capsule backup drive and your data.  If I ever lose ethernet and Wi - Fi to TB.  In addition, the modem works fine.  If I cut the TC and to the cable modem ethernet connection I have access to the internet.

    Thank you.  All were huge last time assistance.

    If it's always the same modem... a SB6141 of Arris... There have been a number of reports of trouble with this product with Apple routers. There is no mention that in your first post a month ago, because we wanted to see if a reset of the good modem would get things works well for you.  I had the same experience as with the same exact modem you have.

    The SB6141 is a good product, and the time Capsule is as well. But for some users, these two products do not work as well together. If you call people to support for modem, they show sure to like the question time Capsule. If you call Apple, they will have a different view on things. The bottom line when you go to a support group... because it of always the other guy that you are having problems.

    At this point, the only real solution would be to decide if you want to try another brand and model of modem and keep the time Capsule, or keep the modem and try another brand of router and then connect the Capsule to the router.

    In my case, I replaced the SB6141 (I tried 3 different SB6141s previously because the ISP admitted having difficulties with this modem and some routers) with a 5341J Zoom, and did not have a single falling Internet connection since I installed the Zoom for more than a year. If your Internet service provider indicates that the Zoom is a product that is compatible with their service, you might want to try this modem.

    But unfortunately, there is no assurance that the "solution" that has worked for me will be the solution that suits you. Such is the nature of the beast, when you work with products from two different suppliers.

  • Linksys Router WRT160N - Wireless does not connect to the cable modem

    I installed the Linksys WRT160n router to replace an existing G router. When installed the new wireless router works, but the router does not receive a connection (IP address - look under status) of the cable modem (so no internet). When I reconnect the old router and then connect the new router, I get any internet connection through two routers (so the old dishes router the IP address that accepts the new router).

    I have configured the router N new for

    "Automatic configuration - DHCP", no need for connection, IP address dynamic, etc (as required by ISP - Timewarner)

    I tried to renewal and release IP address by the router N when it is connected directly to the main switch (the switch to connect to the cable modem). In so doing, shouldn't that assign a new IP address to the router?

    I am allowed 3 IPs from the cable company (because of the switch) and I use all three with three different internet IP cameras to each address for home security system.

    Any suggestions on why the router is not connecting to the internet? Do I need to reboot physically everything on the network, including the cable modem?

    If I understand your post, you said that your ISP gives you 3 Internet IP addresses and you have 3 cameras that use one of these Internet IP addresses.  If this is correct, then that leaves no IP Internet address for your WRT160N use - so that would explain why your WRT160N cannot get an Internet connection.

    If I misread your post, and you have an Internet IP address available for the WRT160N, you might have a problem with your modem and two WRT160N tries to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.  To check this, follow these steps:

    (1) Please indicate addresses that use your cameras (IE before you take the test below).  If the addresses do not begin with 192.168, then erase the last half of each address.

    (2) Please indicate your ISP

    (3) Please indicate the make and exact model of your modem (not the WRT160N) number.

    (4) Please do the following test:

    Put your entire network.  Disconnect the switch (including cameras) to the modem.  Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer.  (Do not use the WRT160N for this test).  Turn on the modem and the computer.  Make sure you have an active Internet connection, then go ahead with what follows: (even if your Internet connection does not work, include this and move forward.)

    Go to 'Start' > all programs > Accessories > command prompt.
    A black DOS window will appear. Type "ipconfig/all" (with no quotes), and press the Enter key.   Copy all results in your next post.  To make the copy, highlight the results, and then use the keys copy (Ctrl-c) and paste (Ctrl-v) keys.  If your "IP address" does not begin with 192.168, then for security reasons, delete the latter half of your IP address.

  • On ethernet ESXi iface will not get the IP address of the cable modem

    I installed the Vyatta Core 6.3 virtual appliance in VMWare ESXi 4.1 U1 on a Dell Precision 490. I want Vyatta to serve as a single window for my home network together with a red interface with a public IP address, other VMS behind the DMZ and my private machines (laptops, TiVo, etc.) behind the Green interface.

    Here is my VMWare network topology:
    vSwitch0 ("green vSwitch"): NIC 0, connected to the hub of switching/wireless connection with connection cable
    vSwitch1 ("demilitarized vSwitch"): no physical NETWORK adapter
    vSwitch2 ("red vSwitch"): NIC 1, connected to the modem cable Comcast with connecting cable
    Here is my config of Vyatta VM network:
    eth0: connected to vSwitch2 ('Switch red')
    eth1: connected to vSwitch0 ("Green Switch")
    eth2: connected to vSwitch1 ("Switch demilitarized")
    Here is my config Vyatta:
    Ethernet eth0 {}
    dhcp address
    Description "red Interface.
    automatic duplex
    HW - id 00:50:56:3F:FF:01
    smp_affinity auto
    automatic speed
    }
    Ethernet eth1 {}
    address 172.16.122.1/24
    Description 'green Interface.
    automatic duplex
    HW - id 00:50:56:3F:FF:02
    smp_affinity auto
    automatic speed
    }
    Ethernet eth2 {}
    address 192.168.122.254/24
    Description "DMZ Interface.
    automatic duplex
    HW - id 00:50:56:3F:FF:03
    smp_affinity auto
    automatic speed
    }
    My Green interface is very well. All computers connected to NIC of the model Dell Precision 0 get the IP addresses assigned to them via DHCP, which I put in place for this subnet/interface.
    My DMZ interface is very well. I can assign static IP addresses to the other virtual machines, assign their interfaces to vSwitch1 ("demilitarized vSwitch"), and they can communicate with each other.
    By my firewall or zone rules, the machines on the Green interface can communicate with machines on the DMZ, very well, and DMZ machines can establish connections to the machines of the green zone, which is correct.
    Here's MY PROBLEM: eth0 can't get an IP of Comcast address. I tried to change all sorts of locations on the ethernet card virtual vSwitch, etc., nothing helped. I rolled the cable modem power, nothing helps. When I connect my modem cable back to my old wireless router, the router receives an IP address immediately. When I connect the cable modem to 1 NETWORK card on the Dell printer, Vyatta gets no IP address.
    I'm sure I'm just something wrong, but I don't know what. I have a different configuration of Vyatta identical-except-physics somewhere else, but it doesn't seem to work practically
    . I think that it has to work, otherwise why Vyatta would provide an easy to use ESXi device that's read-to-go?
    I thought that maybe the vSwitch in ESXi were getting in the way and I need to connect the virtual machine directly to the physical NETWORK card, but you can do that in ESXi, so it's obviously not.
    No idea what is the problem?
