![]() ![]() The solution involved LEAVING ONE OF THE RJ-11 DSL WIRES UNPLUGGED FROM THE 2WIRE ROUTER. One final note about configuring U-Verse in your home: We also had real difficulty figuring out which ports to plug the split RJ-11 DSL wires into on the 2Wire router. Your Apple router is now in charge of all NAT and port forwarding.ĩ. You’re all set! Now you can plug your Airport Extreme or your Time Capsule (or Airport Extreme) into one of the “Local Ethernet” ports on the back of the 2Wire router, and your Time Capsule is now in charge of your network (after you configure your Time Capsule properly). Find your Airport Extreme listed in the list, then choose:Ĩ. To fix this, go into the 2Router administration area, and choose “Settings > LAN > IP Address Allocation”. This is due to the 2Wire Router issuing an internal IP address (instead of an external IP address) to your Apple device. If you’ve previously had your Airport Extreme or Time Capsule on this network before, you might have had a Double NAT Error in your Airport Utility. Make sure that your “router behind router detection” setting was saved through the restart.ħ. Click on the “Home” tab at the top, then at the bottom, choose to “Restart Your System”. Just ignore the warning, tell it to go ahead and do the configuration.Ħ. Try to surf to any web page, and you will get a 2Wire warning asking you if you’re sure you want to configure your router. Go to Settings>System Info>Event Notifications, and check the box called “Router-Behind-Router Detection” then click “Save”.ĥ. Log in with the password printed on the side of your router.Ĥ. Go to your web browser and type in 192.168.1.254, which will take you to the 2Router administration page.ģ. Use your computer to get on the same network as your 2Wire router, either wireless or hardwired in with an Ethernet cable.Ģ. ( Please note: This procedure may or may not work with other models of 2Wire router, depending on what firmware those routers are running.)ġ. ![]() To put your 2Wire 3800HGV-B router into bridge mode, all you have to do is follow the steps below. Well, of course, they’re morons because of COURSE it can be done.Īnd actually, it is very simple, once you know where to look. They all told me that this wasn’t a configuration that they supported… that you can’t use any other routers on your network except their own. Not according to the 3 Indian representatives and 1 American representative I spoke to at AT&T. Put a router (the 2Wire 3800HGV-B router, commonly used for AT&T U-Verse installations) into bridge mode, so that an Apple Time Capsule (or an Airport Extreme) could control the NAT on the network instead of the 2-Wire router controlling the network. Now look, I’m not saying that Verizon is any better (they’re far worse, actually), but I think that AT&T is the company that sets the bar for being SUCKABLE to which all corporate conglomerates strive to achieve.Īfter spending 2 hours on hold or being transferred amongst various AT&T representatives in India who didn’t understand a thing about what I was trying to do, and after scouring the useless users manual for any hint of a solution, and after searching multiple online forums for people frantically searching for the same answers as me… I finally had to just roll up my sleeves, dig in, and figure it out for myself (with the help of my great clients at Aware Awake Alive).Īll I wanted to do was something very simple for my clients: In this time of strife & conflict amongst Americans, it is wonderful that there is one thing that we can all unanimously agree on: that AT&T sucks. ![]()
