Configuration help; ATT DSL 2Wire Homeportal(1000sw) - 4th Gen Time Machine Bridge Mode - iMac. Need switch in basement. TM out to this?

Yes it could be used for that... I would suggest an upgrade in the modem as the rj45 port is only 10 mbps and I would recommend a 100 mb port to a switch then use the switch as a distribution point [as the Homeportal only has a wan port]. Then put a switch out in the house where needed connected by cat 5e or 6 wire. This will allow home traffic between devices to travel at giga speeds. Still internet speed will be extremely slow due to the DSL modem/router and there is no headroom for use by more than one person at a time. But if you have no need to distribute the signal to only one room then a wire from the DSL modem to a switch is fine and devices connected to the switch can communicate at a higher speed.

the product works fine with a mac....instead of using the set up cd (which is XP/Vista based only) go to the web based setup of linksys (192.168.1.1). essentially you will connect the modem to the router (to the internet ethernet slot), then connect your mac to one of the port slots -- there's four of them -- (this is an ethernet to ethernet connection with the supplied cable), open up safari (or whatever browser you are using) and type in the setup address (192...), you will need to insert the password/login (admin for both).... and viola you're able to setup it up on a mac. because the router is plugged into the modem and you are plugged into the router -- you can leave most of the default information as is. you will probably want to change the SSID (or else it just reads linksys) and if you are closing the network you will want to set up the WEP key (or WPA key) -- and of course you will want to go to the admin tab and change the network management login from admin to something less easy. once you have saved the changes, unplug the ethernet look for the SSID and enter the WEP key. it may take a second to show up on your mac (if it takes longer then a hot second -- unplug modem powersource for about 10 seconds and replug it in -- this will allow your modem to rollover the IP address) otherwise you should be okay. while somethings in the mac/pc world matter (mac has a 6 pin firewire connection while PC has a 4 pin connection) this router fortunately isn't once of them. hopefully this is helpful as you get the same thing as the airport express at half the cost with this router.

I use my with the router that timewarner provides with its service. If I were you I'd Google to find out. Wish I could have been more help.

It will depend on your particular setup, assuming that the time machine is attached directly to a modem then yes if it is attached to a router then no, port forwarding must be done in the router.

This switch requires some config as any device for security reason. However the device is pretty much plug and play, i recommend going through the tutorial for common network practices for proper security

Answer: This device is a Cable Modem. It does not provide gateway/router functionality. Sorry

It's a gateway. Big difference. Meaning it can do whatever you want it to. I'm asking them for a firmware upgrade so that I can bypass Time Warner for the phone provisioning. Time Warner is dragging their feet because they don't know how I got it to work. If you have Comcast then none of that matters.

Note that a reviewer of the D-Link product says:"However, if you want to run a home server, this is not the box for you. Some internet sources claim this box supports WDS, but it does not. It's only a client bridge, meaning MAC addresses and local IPs are funneled into one at the DAP1522. Your router will only see whatever device happened to send information last, preventing you from doing any port forwarding or advanced packet routing to the server."If that is correct, then using the D-Link would be exactly the same as using the the WET610N and connecting the "internet" port of any broadband router to the WET610N's single ethernet port and then plugging your devices into the router's other ports.

Yes. It will work.I ran this way briefly downstream from a D-Link, but once I configured by cloning the MAC address my download speed was much faster.

NOT SURE, Robert . . . I was on Century Link with a Westell model and the 600N really 'blows-it-away', SIMPLY WITH A MUCH NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SPEED. I use mine 'hard-wired' with my iMac and MagicJack using 2 of the 4 Ethernet ports. Now, "ASSUMING" that ATT and basically ALL 'PROVIDERS' use the products that 'win' their 'bid' at the LOWEST cost, (like NASA), I have to "ASSUME" it may be of the same, LOW PERFORMANCE as what I originally had. I used theirs for the FREE, one-year period, and got this IMMEDIATELY afterward. But, unlike NASA, selecting the LOW-BID / MEETING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS products isn't gonna "KILL" anyone! I am glad / happy with my choice, NOT being a 'techie' or 'geek'. - Jay NOT SURE, Robert . . .

Yes, I have it running under a mixed environment and it is working well. It is acting as a access point and Macs and PC connect through it.

You connect to the unit through web browser, it it does't matter it's windows or Mac. You will do your configuration from the web pages. It will take only 5 minutes.

I have mine working with a 2013 Apple Time Capsule which is running in the default b/g/n/ac mode. I make sure I'm connected to the 2.4GHz wifi on my iPhone before syncing and everything works as it should. Support at Skybell suggested router should be set to b/g only but I have not found this to be necessary.

I was not able to do it last night. I had to 'un-hide' my SSID to set it up, then when I went back and 'hid' my SSID it could not connect. [Setting it in repeater mode]. So now my SSID remains 'un-hidden', I've since just implemented a MAC ACL. Please let me know if you've had better luck.

Please look for an ethernet switch, 5 port switches run about what the prerequsite 2 of these cost, and they are better for what anyone needs this for. this is an artifact from when switches costs 3 times what they cost now.

The controller software that is provided made it pretty simple. Plug it in, load the app, connect to the AP, type in your settings. There are more advanced configurations that would require a bit more knowledge to set up well, but otherwise, as long as you can get the software loaded (which admittedly took a few minutes to figure out on my iMac), little domain knowledge should be required.
