OK first of all if it is COAX it is not DSL it is cable service. (I
looked it up this is a FIOS modem router.)
The airport should probably be disconnected and solely let the
wireless MacBook be looking only for the DSL wireless base station.
Another scenario is to hook the Airport into the router (one of the
L:AN ports) and try connecting your mothers MacBook to the Airport
and not the Actiontec.

I have looked over the whole system at my mother' house yesterday. Wow, I
dont know how she even got on line!!!. Here is the actual scenario:
DSL wireless modem from Verizon , Actiontec model M 1424WR.
The coax cable is coming into the house and is attached to the wireless
modem...(.the modem has a cheap looking moveable antenna). The only other
thing attached to the modem is the ac adapter......there are no other cables
or wires plugged into the modem. The modem is in the same room where the new
MacBook is located.
In another room at back of the house, there is the Airport base station,
looks like an Igloo). The only things attached to that are a telephone
line, and a ac adapter.
The MacBook does pick up a signal....but it must be the signal from the
wireless modem....it takes a long time for internet sites to open etc......
I am wondering how to get a better connection? The Airport was put in
because it routed the signal to a mac mini. An ethernet cable was used
between the mac mini and the base station. The mac mini is no longer in the
house. The Airport base station just sits on the desk in the back room.
I really would appreciate any more ideas how to make this better. Thanks,
Sandra.
