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.

  • 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:

    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?

    Hello

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Connect to Airport Extreme to another router

    Hello.  I searched this forum to see if my question is already answered.  I couldn't find all the signs that answer.  If it has already been answered, please point me to the subject.  Otherwise, here's my question:

    I need to expand Internet coverage in my house.  This is the configuration I want to implement:

    • Cable modem (at one end of my house) connected to a WiFi router non - Apple.

    • Use an Ethernet cable to the router through my attic, at one Airport Extreme to the other end of the House

    • I would like to run an Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to my TV and another cable to an AppleTV

    This would give wireless coverage to the entire House and Internet wired for television and the AppleTV.

    I would like some advice on how best to implement.  Here are a few questions (although I don't know if I ask to everything that I need to ask):

    • If the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    • If the Airport Extreme and the other router have the same SSID and password?  Or it doesn't matter?

    • What should I do a configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    • I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.  If all goes well, I plan to spend this Saturday morning crawling into the attic and tonight Saturday benefiting the whole Internet.

    Should the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    DHCP, unless you have a preference for a static IP address.

    Airport Extreme and the other router has the same SSID and password?

    Yes, if you want both of your routers to behave as if they provided a unique network of "big". No, if you want to require users to log on the wireless provided separately by each router.

    I have to do any configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    Just run configuration 'Wizard' of Apple, and it will assign the correct parameters to the AirPort Extreme.

    I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    It is not clear, given that we do not know what another router you may have. Do you mean that the other router connected to the modem via DHCP... or... you hear the other router provide DHCP and NAT services for the entire network?

  • What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

    Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

    You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

  • How to connect the cables to an AMD Radeon HD 7450 video card for two monitors individual work?

    I have a HP Pavilion p6-2360eo with the video card Radeon 7450 connected to a monitor of 23xi Pavilion.

  • 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.

  • using converter to connect the cable presentation to SX20 codec

    Hi all

    We SX20 and we need to make the presentation of video calls.

    We have HDMI cable stretched between the codec and the Conference table, the problem is that we can't get more cables of the codec to the meeting table.

    I tried to use a DVI HDMI converter to connect the cable to the codec, but unfortunately it did not work.

    It is a specific type of converters that will work?

    has anyone have the same problem and managed to resolve it?

    or is it at least, is a document of cisco mentioning that the converters will not work in this case?

    Thanks in advance.

    Amit: If you see a calbe like that "DVI2VGA" is already a "converter", at least if I read what Ibrahim.

    In general, a cable or a DVI to HDMI adapter should work.

    If this does not work, check with a different resolution or source (different computer)

    and see if the cable is not for long (try a shorter for example)

    and try the adapter on a different Setup.

    Which would not have worked is DVI-> VGA and VGA-DVI-> HDMI > as VGA would break the digital signal

    Analog = only VGA, HDMI = Digital only, DVI can carry both, but there may be no ordinary VGA2HDMI cable.

    In addition, Ibrahim should check what is the definition of the type of entry for the dvi input.

    I woud try it with first auto and then select digital and see if that makes a difference.

    Please remember useful frequency responses and identify useful or correct answers.

  • Can I connect my Airport Extreme base station via an ethernet cable to a counter of locus?

    Can I use my Airport Express (802.11n Wi - Fi) to connect with an ethernet cable, a locus counter that is used with a solar panel inverter?  Currently I use the hotspot to connect two different Mac computers and an Ipad.  Sungevity, Setup, told me that the signal must go in a direction of my locus meter satellite modem.  Sungevity also told me that if I can hard wire any device (such as a computer) directly from my Airport, I should also be able to do the same with the meter of locus.  Has anyone tried this before?

    Thank you.

    What is the AirPort Express you have?

    As you test, turn off the WiFi on a computer and then connect the computer to the local network <-->port on the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to see if the computer can get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If he CAN... and if the people of support for your solar panels have provided the correct information... then the meter will work.

  • Unable to connect to Airport Extreme after updating iOS 10

    Hey guys.

    OK not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I can't connect to my Airport Extreme update IOS 10 my wife is.

    We all have two iPhone 6 and 64 gb & update at the same time.

    We have an ac 802.11 Airport extreme also an extreme dual band of airport & an express airport which none of us can connect to.

    We can connect to the Home Hub 6 provided by our service provider broadband with no problems but it is only in a part of the House that we are unable to connect to my office or at the back of the House.

    Tried resetting the network settings on the phone thought I might ask before having to try to reset back to factory settings base stations.

    Thank you

    FWIW, I upgraded my iPhone SE 5 and Pro iPad to iOS 10 as well, but knows me not any problems connecting to one of my base station AirPort to Wi - Fi.

    Or the other of your iPhones must all problems connecting to other networks in addition to the Home Hub Wi - Fi? In other words, are they only having problems connecting to your AirPort base station? If Yes, do you have someone nearby who also has an AirPort wireless network that you should check your iPhones with?

    In the meantime, let's take a look at the current configuration of your network. We know that you, at least, three airport base stations. What is the exact models of non - 802.11ac extreme and Express?

    These base stations are all linked back to the Home Hub with Ethernet they are all configured for a mobile network?

  • PC does not connect to AirPort Extreme

    I have a windows 7 dell latitude D600 that connects to wireless very well. I think that the wireless card is like b/g/n.

    I have an Airport Extreme 6th Gen AC that sends wifi very well to everything I own.

    The PC sees the network, I click on it and enter the password, he thinks for a while and fails!

    I have studied this problem and it is not the PC, I think it is the most convenient airport.

    Thank you

    If you take a look at the plug of the D600, you will see that it is Wireless 'b' which forces the old WEP security settings.

    http://www.CNET.com/products/Dell-Latitude-D600/specs/

    Unfortunately, the new routers WEP abandoned airport about 3-4 years ago because it is so safe and easily cracked with some free tools available on the Internet.

    A test, turn off security on the AirPort Base Station wireless and see if the Dell can connect in this way. If he can... then you know that the Dell is not compatible with the highest levels of security that use airports and other newer routers.

    Do not recommend that you do this, but you can try to lower the security on the airport to WPA/WPA2...but I don't know if the Dell will connect this way or not.  It won't if it is limited to WEP security levels.

    Better to keep safety at the recommended levels and try a USB wireless adapter to see if it works with the Dell printer.

Maybe you are looking for
