Hi All:
I recently set up an SB8200 to take advantage of faster speeds offered by WOW. My previous modem SBG6580 was working fine. A serious casualty to the upgrade was my pair of Apple Airport Extreme drives. I use them for wireless service to my home and as a streaming drive for music to my iPad. I could not get the drives to set up properly with the new SB8200 modem installed. My situation was that I could have wired internet service to my Mac desktop. OR I could have connectivity wired between the Apple drives and the mac with wireless functionality indicated on wireless devices - but NO INTERNET. I couldn’t have it all. It was all working together before the upgrade. After hours of playing with settings on the Apple drives in the AirPort Utility, I reinstalled the old SBG6580 and had WOW turn it back on. Everything effortlessly re-acquainted and it is all working fine again. I really would like to get the SB8200 working correctly with the Apple drives but don’t know where to go with it. I tried hard resets on EVERYTHING and various combinations of reboots etc in an effort to get some handshaking going on with the different components to no avail. I don’t know if it is an impossible incompatibility or a server / DNS / DHCP type of network configuration setting that I am overlooking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
