Time Capsule on a u-verse router

2015-02-25 Thread Joseph
Hello list, Is anyone using a time capsule on u-verse with success? Here’s the deal. We for a number of reasons are thinking about switching from cable to u-verse. I am currently using my 802 11 AC duel band airport time capsule on the docsis 3 cable modem just fine. Except when the cable service

I’m using an Airport Extreme 4th gen with an Motorola NVG510 with no issues. I have the ap in bridge mode so the 510 Uverse router takes care of router functions and I use the ap as wireless access. Note that the speedstreme 5360 won’t work with Uverse. You will need to perches the equipment

Hi, I think that you will more than likely use the NVG510. You will just bridge the tC and plug it into the NVG510 via Lan ports. With the older TC, you would have to bridge the NVG510 instead which is much more complicated. On Feb 25, 2015, at 6:50 PM, Joseph wrote: Hello, Thanks for the info

Hello, Yes, that certainly sounds easier. I’m going to see if I can locate the manual for the NVG510. I am familiar with bridging the TC and it’s been quite a while back that I had one of the older 2 wire gateway devices. Again thanks a bunch for the suggestion. > On Feb 25, 2015, at 6:08 PM

I prefer running the AirPort directly facing the Internet, for that way the guest network and Back To My Mac features are available. U-Verse is often just (V)DSL. It might be worthwhile your investing in a modem that does the bridging, such as Draytek 120/130. Or, see if you can get your mode

Hello guys, This is getting really interesting. And I appreciate all that is being said here. I did listen to the Video. Now I’ll look at the other info. What this all hedges on is if Comcast is interested in making it’s service more consistent or not. I won’t even go into Comcast customer servic

Well, I don’t see it as surrender exactly, rather as picking my battles. You actually don’t have to bridge any of the residential gateways to use back to my mac, but you do have to do some tweaking. I’ve seen a couple of methods, one of which is at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3865704.

Att is going to be more consistent. they have a better network than any cable company. However, cable has faster speeds at the moment, but it’s mostly burst speeds. I think there is much greater potential from the telecom offerings, but their rollout of new stuff is still a bit rocky at the m

Hello, Here’s the thing. For what we pay for cable we should be getting much better service, in my opinion. In regards to over the phone techs, I agree. But we’ve also had repair technicians come to the door both back when we had DSL several years ago and also with Comcast support. The problem i

Yeah, granted that you can work around it to get BTMM working, but it’s an awful hack, and I’d really rather the AirPort does the routing anyway, because it’s just a truckload better at it. It is one thing that cable puts a shine on, because cable modems built to spec are generally trivial to p
