connect older apple Airport express with ethernet cable modem? Verizon service

I'm helping someone with a verizon DSL modem older (guess this isn't wireless vs) which connects to a tower of Windows, then usb out of the tower to a unit of wireless to connect to a recent Mac laptop version. We would like to get rid of the tower and the verizon usb "hockey puck" and simply use the modwm > wireless Airport express > laptop.

If I get an airport express, I can show the modem directly to Airport express?

Yes, that should be fine.

Tell us what model is the DSL modem.

There are two possible configurations.

Either the type pure or bridged modem and you use customer PPPOE over the WAN to the Express.

Or

You have a modem router and you will implement the express bridge, with creation of a wireless network.

HOWEVER... I'm NOT either of those without call verizon and control on the price of a new wireless adsl router modem.

ADSL has changed little in 10 years... but the equipment does not last forever. It could just be the perfect time to move.

    Hello

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

    Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

    If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

    ----------------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there are utility wireless isn't running with the native Windows wireless utility provider (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    Stack TCP/IP (network IP number) of work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

  • The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

    I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

    My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

    Thank you!

    Johnny

    The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

    However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

    If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

    If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

    If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

  • I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

  • How can I set Up Airport Express with an existing router/modem from the ISP

    I have a wireless modem/router ISP and I want to get the ability to use Air Print using a non-Airprint but the USB printer. I suggest you to connect the printer to the Airport Express A1392 Epson) via a USB port to enable the AirPrint features.  However, I guess the Airport Express must be an ethernet to the modem/router ISP connection and then use the Epxress airport more convenient than my wireless router.

    Issues related to the:

    1. do I need to turn off the function the ISP router's wireless when I plugged as stated above? So I wait.

    2. as the Airport Express only has one ethernet port I assume that I can connect my other ethernet connections using a hub 4 ports connected to the Airport Express Terminal.  It will be always possible to use other ports ethernet on the modem/router ISP as well?

    Doug

    I have a wireless modem/router ISP and I want to get the ability to use Air Print using a non-Airprint but the USB printer.

    You may have received incorrect information, because a non-AirPrint on the USB port on an AirPort Express Terminal... or any other router from Apple also printer... do not make the AirPrint-compatible printer.

    You want to continue nevertheless to check that this is true?

    The AirPort Express can connect to the network wireless router using a wireless connection... or... it can connect to one of the router's Ethernet ports using a wired Ethernet connection.

    Wired connections are always preferable wireless if possible for your Express.  Turn off the wireless router is not necessary if you want to connect to the Express using an Ethernet connection.

  • Laptop stopped seeing Apple AirPort Express

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the Wi - Fi with Apple Airport Express (http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/). Windows XP on my laptop Toshiba Satellite M70-339 PSM77E this is crushed about 4-5 days ago and since then he stopped to see the network Airport 4 days ago (but it can still detect the other networks). I think something in the network settings changed on my laptop. That's what I have:

    1 there is Airport Express Mac and a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite M70-339 PSM77E with Windows XP Home Edition.

    2 mac sees the Airport network (and some other neighborhood networks). It is connected to the Internet and it works fine.

    3 laptop with Windows XP stopped seeing the network 4 days without any reason (but it can still detect the other networks of neighborhood, so the material is activated and it works). I had the network works for about 6 weeks. When I first tried to find the network (about 6 weeks ago) I had the same problem: the laptop could not see the network, but then I worked I had a few other internal network settings in my laptop after I removed it, it detected the Airport network. I even used Express Admin Airport utility (or sth like this) to set the WPA security for our network.

    4. to solve my problem now, I tried almost everything I found in apple.com forums and some other related forums this issue, but it seems that this problem is usually solved by chance.

    5. I tried to repair the network connection (by selecting repair in the settings), I removed the networks all the favourites, I had, I disabled all firewall, I tried with different laptop computer IP configuration (I know that he doesn t have nothing to do with the detection of the network, but I was frustrated). I even updated my WiFi drivers and the laptop cannot always detect Airport network (However it can see all the others who are in the region). There is no interference between the laptop and the Airport (the problem doesn t also depend on the distance between the laptop and the device).

    Please give me suggestions. Don't forget the laptop used to detect the network without any problem, and the Internet worked well.

    See you soon,.

    Hello Jakub

    You will be very happy if anyone has experiences with Apple Airport Express and can offer a concrete solution. After losing question have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool?

    When the OS works well and stable it is always good to create system restore points or do some sort of backup image. I do this all the time and I'm not worried if something goes wrong.

    Sorry, Jakub, but if you can't find an answer or solution on the apple forum I really don't think you will find it here. The fact is that the WLAN card works, but how to set it up with Apple Airport Express. I don't really know, but as you said already, maybe you need a chance.

  • Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

    Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

    Two possibilities:

    (1) your airport WiFi might have a network name that is not in line with best practices, wireless

    A good wireless network name is...

    ... In short no more than 20 characters

    Simple... no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc.

    Compact, without spaces in the name

    For example, a wireless network network name as... red .dfedoryk Apple wireless network... .is not what you want. Something like... .dfedorykwireless. .. masse are much more likely to connect to non-Apple devices.

    Same guidelines your password

    (2) Apple gives the same name to network 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network that produces double router band.  Some non-Apple devices are confused by the present, you may need to use the option to assign a different name for the network of 5 GHz on the router from Apple. Then, 'point' your device to the network name specific to which you want to connect.

  • Is the Airport Express optical fiber compatible? (Verizon Fios)

    Is the Airport Express optical fiber compatible? (Verizon Fios)

    Verizon wants me to have one of their routers. Is it necessary if I already have an AirPort Express?

    The airport is a router, not a cable modem. Verizon are likely to provide a cable modem that is also a router, and therefore has an entry for the cable and several outputs ethernet; It can also have wifi.

    You can probably turn off wifi if you prefer to use the airport; and there is nothing prevents to connect airport entrance to one of Verizon output using its wifi and ethernet ports. As long as it is reasonably recent, it should detect that it is connected to a router and configure properly.

  • How to send a fax with a cable modem wireless system?

    HP 8600 Officejet Pro, iMac running OS 10.8.5, system call Comcast Cable, Comcast modem, Apple Airport Extreme router.

    Modem and router are on the floor, the printer is down.  I can fax based on this step-up.  Error, says that there is no phone line

    Thank you

    Hi Sandwedge66,

    To send and receive faxes in standard, the printer must be plugged into a phone jack.

    Other options would be:

    1. Scan documents and attach them to emails.
    2. There are pay sites on the Internet that allow you to send {and receive} faxes to a standard fax machine using your computer without the use of a telephone line.  EFax.com is an example.
  • How do you connect a (very) old Apple Airport Express to a new Airport Extreme network?

    For Bob Timmons:

    I have 2 old airport expresses, an old and one even older. The network home fled the old Express (connected to a modem), who abandons the connection several times a week. The older Express seems quite dead. What I want to do is to increase wifi coverage in my house (no wifi in the kitchen or the 3rd floor). I buy an Airport Extreme to manage the network, hoping that it would provide wireless coverage in my blind spots. Then I could use the former, Express work next to my stereo to listen to the music of my iMac.

    However: the new airport utility shows but does not interact with my work Express. If I buy one extreme and put in place, how I can add the Express network. I downloaded 5.6.1 (and launcher) Airport utility, but don't know if I can use 6.3.6 to implement extreme and 5.6.1 Configure Express.

    Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

    Sorry, I forgot to ask: even if the Airport 6.3.6 utility on the iMac refuses to 'see' the Express, would be the iPad method you mentioned work with an older Express?

    The model numbers of my expressed are:

    work: A1084

    a death: A1264

    Well, if A1264 is dead, it is the end of the discussion on this model.

    A1084... assuming it works... could probably be used for AirPlay, but the A1084 calls this AirTunes.

    The A1084 is at least 9 years old, probably older and the average useful life of an AirPort Express is about 3-4 years. It is amazing the A1084 to work at all, but school drop-outs you see now with the Express indicates that it is heading for the South, he may not be around much longer.

    If you want to try using the A1084 Express, it can be implemented and administered using an older version of AirPort 5.x on a Mac or a PC utility. No matter which version of AirPort 6.x...or.. utility. AirPort on an iPhone or iPad utility may NOT be compatible with the A1084 Express.

    If you are considering a new AirPort Extreme... and... or buy at Apple, so you have one day 14 return privilege on the product, if it will not do what you want, you can return it for credit or a return.  The older A1084 expected to collaborate with the new AirPort Extreme if you spot a version 5.x of AirPort on a Mac or a PC utility to configure the product.  But... saying "should work" is not the same thing as saying "work"... then it will be one of those moments where you won't know how well... or even if it will work until you try.

  • Using airplay on airport express with wired connections

    Hello world

    I think in a very special configuration and I was wondering if it would work or not.

    I have a Linksys router with 802.11ac ability now. I wish I had a pregnant airplay on my network, so I thought buy a used Airport express, connect the speakers to it and plug the Airport express via a LAN cable to the linksys router. I also think to turn off wifi on the Airport express so it does not disturb my 802.11ac network.

    So the question is: is it possible to have the airport base station to connect to my router Linksys on LAN and airplay works this way on the Linksys WiFi network?

    Thank you

    Zoltan

    In theory, it works... but you will have to set up the AirPort Express to create a wireless first, then go back and turn off the wireless feature.

    Ensure that the Express is a common pattern of A1392, or the previous version of A1264. Much A1084 most, it's not what you want.

  • New Apple Airport Express - I just swap out with my old?

    I use the old version, Airport Express, so I'll update to the most recent (reconditioned Apple).   Can I just replace the old with a new one, or what I need to reconfigure in public services from the airport?

    If I have to set it up, can someone tell me dumbed down how?

    Thank you

    It is always better to start with the default factory setting when the replacement of base stations.

    However, if both base stations are 802.11n models, you can use AirPort Utility to set up the terminal 'new' to replace the older one. If this is the case, you can just power the new base station, and then select its Wi - Fi your Mac network. Doing so will give you the opportunity to run the AirPort Utility. Just follow the steps automated to replace one with the other.

  • HP Photosmart C4795 with Apple Airport Extreme Wireless router - cable PC problem

    Hello

    I searched, but I can't quite find an exact match for my problem.

    I have a new HP desktop computer running Windows 7, and I attach it to my wireless router which is an Apple Airport Extreme.  I have attached my HP C4795 printer to the USB port on the * router *.  In theory, the USB key should pass through, so that the office will think it's a printer "connected", while also allowing us to print remotely from our laptops (via the router).

    Unfortunately, while portable computers can print wireless very well, the * office * Guard 'lose' the printer, thinking that it is in offline mode.  Even when it shows 'online' (after my relocation via "Add a printer"), still error-out print jobs.

    Can someone help me understand how this works?  The printer works fine, btw, if I disconnect the USB cable between the router and plug directly to the PC, if it isn't something directly with the printer or the desktop, but rather the * combination * of running through the Apple Airport Extreme router.

    Thank you

    Terry

    Thank you, once again, Jim.

    I think I have stumbled on the solution.  I did a reading online on Apple application 'Hello', and how he felt necessary for Apple devices, like the airport, knit with device sharing.  I forgot that the installation of the airport disk had said something Hello installation, but I discovered on my Wired HP Win 7 PC menu programs, called 'Hello Printer Utility' or something, and I launched it, selected the C4795 in the dialog box, and all seems to be put in place (i.e. the printer suddenly showed as 'online' and I could print from my desktop wired as well as wireless laptop).

    Success!

    Thanks for all your help on this.  Now, all I need is to get my WD My Book external/sharing the hard drive to work as well!  Unfortunately, I do not see here a "Hello Hard Disk Utility", but I feel somehow that morning will be the answer.  I just understand it.

    Thank you
