DM111psp and Airport extreme problems..
Need Help- After breaking my Actiontec dsl modem, as of 07/13/2013 I have a new DSL modem DM111psp. When the ethernet cable is connected directly to my computer, I have internet. When I bridge the ...
ok... that worked. However I do have a iconcern
In the modem (dm111psp) where the bridging protocol can be selected.... (PPPoA, PPPoE, or RFC2684) Why do I NOT have a option for RFC2684? Just PPPoA and PPPoE in the drop down.
The reason I am worried is that I also have an Airport express being used as a wireless print server. I called Apple tech support to find out why this wireless print server would not connect to the AE and I was told by Apple tech support that when the router is in bridge mode (not Ethernet) that it shuts down wireless capability.
Any way around this?
I mean.... is this setup you described is the only way a Netgear DM111psp and a airport extreme can be joined together? or is there another dSL modem product that will work instead of the DM111psp. I was looking at the Netgear N600 w/ DSL modem, but the majority of reviews are bad and I don't think it would be as good a router as the Airport extreme. (reviews on Amazon)
