I currently have an O2 wireless ADSL2 Modem connected to my AEBS. I've disabled the Wi-Fi signal of the wireless box since its a G router and i'd rather be using the AEBS for its N signals. I'm wondering if i should connect the O2 box to the ethernet port of the AEBS or WAN port whilst in bridge mode? or it doesn't matter?

What I want to be able to do is plug into the Ethernet ports on this AEBS, and I want that to use wireless to the other wireless router to give me network access. Here is the deal, I have a computer that doesn't have wireless network on it, so it's only Ethernet. I have the AEBS at my desk, and I want to connect the hardwired computer into the AEBS. I want the AEBS to then wirelessly connect that computer that is hard-wired to the network...
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi. Looking for some advice on whether to purchase an Airport Express or an AEBS for bridging Wireless-N in my apartment.
Currently I run a Mac Pro via gigabit ethernet to a D-Link DGL-4300 wireless-G router. My Powerbook is wireless-G and connects wirelessly. I also have an ipod Touch which is obviously G. I just recently purchased an AppleTV to get some HD and iTunes streaming in the bedroom, so the AppleTV is not located near the D-Link where I could connect it via ethernet.
So I need Wireless-N in order to stream content to the AppleTV. I also need to maintain a wireless-G network for both the Powerbook and the iPod Touch.
I was considering buying a new router that did simultaneous G and N but it would be an awful waste of what's otherwise a great existing G router.
So my question is, should I get an Airport Express and run it in Bridge mode to provide wireless-N connectivity to the AppleTV and any other follow-on N products I may purchase, or should I go with the AEBS which would come with a USB port for an external hard drive?
I'm moving into a new apartment soon, and I really don't want to worry with running wires again. I want to setup my linksys WRT610N (running DD-WRT) in my office, and connect it to my AEBS which will sit in my living room, connected to my gateway.
I initially tried to do the reverse of this, and have the AEBS join the DD-WRT network, but it didn't seem to want to do that at all. So I'm trying to join the DD-WRT box to the AEBS network. I'm just having trouble on defining the security settings.
I'm using WPA2 Personal on my AEBS. What encryption algorithm does the AEBS use? My wrt gives me options for aes, tkip, or both.
I'm running OSX 10.5.8 on a Macbook Pro, and today I've been unable to connect to the internet via ethernet or wi-fi, unless I'm in safe mode. Then everything seems to work as it should, which makes me believe that this is a software issue rather than a hardware problem. I've tried making a new account with administrator priveleges, but that doesn't solve my issue. Does anyone have any advice on how I can connect to the internet under my normal user account, rather than in safe mode? I should note that I won't be able to get my hands on my repair CD or perform a clean install of OSX because that stuff is at home, and I'm in college. Also, I'm at a university and don't have a router. I just use the campus-wide wi-fi. Finally, my roommate has no problem accessing the internet in our room via ethernet or wi-fi, but I do. Thanks for the help everyone.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI know it sounds stupid trust me, but Im looking for a way to Bridge the iMac's built in Ethernet card to the built in wireless adapter.
I have a specific application that will not run over WIFI even though the speed is fine. It's a Support issue they wont provide currently. I looked into purchasing a Hardware Connector but at $99 for one I though they had to be a better way.
Than reading around I heard it was possible on PC at least to Bridge an ethernet adapter to a wireless adapter kinda like VMWARE does.
I want the app to look at my ethernet port and say OK its live..
I think this has been debated somewhere, but what's the best option? And what are the pros and cons of each setup? Actually I put my Netgear in "modem only" and setup the TC as the main router and configured PPPoE settings on it. Should I have chosen bridge mode instead?

I have a small network at home, and would like to have another computer (old PowerMac g4, no wireless card) and my xbox 360 in my basement. I don't want to run cables. Is it possible to connect a router to my airport express and use it to bridge the wired computers wirelessly to the time capsule upstairs? I know it's possible to use the airport express as an extension to the wireless as a WDS but I haven't found anything online about using it as a bridge.
I have a gigabit AEBS, that only gets 12 MB/sec MAX when I transfer files between my 2 macs via ethernet cable. I get 45 MB/sec MAX when I connect the 2 macs directly to each other via ethernet cable. What the hell is going on here? is this typical of the AEBS? I would expect these numbers from the 100Mbps AEBS, but not the gigabit version.

I want to set it up in bridge mode so that my old PowerMac G3 can connect to my wireless network and get on the internet since it doesnt have a airport card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy setup:
I have a router from my ISP with one cable out which goes into a hub. From there, I have connected my ipPhone, my media center, and my Airport express.
Now the media center's IP number is aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.
The IpPhone is aaa.bbb.ccc.eee.
So the airport express should be aaa.bbb.... at least.... right (My airport is set up to be in bridge mode)?
but in fact, the Airport has the IP number fff.ggg.hhh.iii.
How can this be? I am using DHCP, so should'nt my ISP just give me one IP number, and my hub distributes the last one or two sets of digits?
I want my Airport to be a sort of an extension of my hub, only for wireless devices.
As you can see I am pretty new to networking, and must admit that I dont fully understand all this, but I thought I had it all under control.
Am seriously considering the new AEBS but seems some confusion over whether the ports offer gigabit Ethernet, can someone with the router confirm or deny this? Also how is the range compared with similar N routers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I want to setup a Time Capsule to work with a Linksys WRT54g. From what I understand, I can plug the Time Capsule into one of the wired ports of the Linksys and set it up in bridge mode for 5Ghz n speeds only. That way the Linksys still does the NAT, DHCP, and wireless b/g, while the Time Capsule does wireless n only.
Couple of questions:
1) I plug the Time Capsule into one of the 4 ports on the Linksys. Where does the other end go into the Time Capsule? The WAN port? Or one of the 3 LAN ports?
2) If I add both the Linksys wireless network and the Time Capsule n network in on my MacBook running Leopard (making the n network higher in the list), if for any reason the Time Capsule wireless connection gets lost.....will the MacBook automatically fail over to the Linksys b/g network? Assuming that both WPA passwords are stored in the keychain.
3) If I plug in a Printer or external HDD into the Time Capsule, can users connecting through the b/g connection, or connected directly to the Linksys see it?
I just bought an airport extreme w/gigabit, and I'm wondering if it's possible to connect an ethernet switch to one of my pro's ethernet ports and have things like my xbox 360 and ps3 run off it, however, my mac pro would be connected to my airport extreme via 802.11n. is that possible?

I've dug around MRoogle searching around for some sort of consensus on a NAS to connect to my AEBS. From what I've found, there are only a couple options that will play nice with Time Machine...problem is, I haven't been able to figure out which options they are. I plan to partition the drive for Time Machine backups and for housing my iTunes library (I know I can't backup my iTunes library with TM on the same drive - it's also saved on an old iPod video so I'm OK for now). Can anyone speak to a particular brand?
View 8 Replies View Related1. Can I connect an external HD to both my AEBS (via usb) and my Mac Mini via FW800?
2. If I can't do the below - lets say I connect my external HD to my Mac Mini via FW800 - with the drive be accessible on the network if my Mac Mini is sleeping?
I'm just trying to figure out what is the most efficient/produce the best speed - way to connect an external HD to my network.
I followed the guide over in the MBA Forum to forward the right ports in order to access my USB hard disk over the internet. I can access it on LAN just fine, and it all goes swimmingly until I'm asked to enter the "Private IP Address" of the device. The guide states to enter an IP address in the fashion of "192.168....", but as you might be able to tell in the picture, the first three octets of my address field are greyed out and unchangeable, and only let me enter an address in the form of "10.0....". Following the guide to the end is futile, and device connection doesn't work as advertised. Am I missing something? Is my problem clearly with entering the wrong IP, or what.

Does anyone know anywhere online that has step by step instructions (or could provide some) on how to set up my ABS to go into bridge mode. The wireless modem/router I use is in the other room, and I would like to connect my Xbox 360 online, and figured I would just bridge the ABS and connect it to that.
I am having lots of problems doing this, and it's hard to find online how to exactly do it.
It is on my home network which I have been using for months. I have made no changes to my router or network setting. Other devices will still connect to the wifi with no problem and I connect through the ethernet connection with no problem. I have disabled the wifi and restarted my computer with no luck.

I'm trying to design a home network for a friend and I want to be sure I'm understanding "Bridge Mode" correctly...
There is an existing router that provides a wired Ethernet network to 2 computers (one of the a MacMini, shown in the pic). If an Airport Express is connected to one of the router's ports and set up in "Bridge Mode" then the wireless network will simply be an extension of the same network to wireless clients. Is that right?
In this setup, the original router provides the internet connection and doles out IP addresses (DHCP server). The Airport just passes IP addresses and internet to clients connected wirelessly. In addition, any computer connected to the network (via Ethernet/router or wirelessly) will be able to access AirTunes and Print server connected to the Airport.
Is this right?
Could I upgrade my late 2011 MBP from its Sandy Bridge i5 to the newer Ivy Bridge i5 when it is released?

I'm sure there is a few people on here that have made the swap - is it worth it? Is the difference in speed noticible to warrant an upgrade.
My current setup:
2.4 MBPu
Mac Mini (coming soon)
Dell Inspiron
Canon Printer
Touch
Slingbox (hardwired to AEBS)
AE (old school version)
WD 1TB external (connected to AEBS via usb)
All currently connected to a AEBS wireless.

my PS3 and Mac are in my room, on the same desk, my wireless router is downstairs. The PS3 is getting a poor connection (40% signal) sometimes cutting out which makes it hard to download PS network stuff. My mac has a solid signal.What I want to do is connect my PS3 directly to my Mac using an ethernet cable. I just want to know how to get the PS3 to connect to the Macs connection through the wire. Apparently the PS3 needs to recognise the mac as a router?
