Re: Airport "N" + dialup?

Well, it's all done as Dan suggested. It was easy and works beautifully. It's much faster than when using my old Ximeta NDAS drive and I'm going to get a hub and add a second drive. The dialup connect still works with the airport menu icon as before (except on my G4 desktop which is hard wired t

Re: Airport "N" + dialup?

Thanks for lots of interesting replys. I'm not sure what I'll do. Does anyone know if a usb modem would work in the usb port of the Airport Extreme "n"? Apparently you can connect multiple drives and printer(s) using a usb hub. If a modem would work it might solve my problem. Rich On Jul 1

You can simply plug your older AirPort into the N AirPort's WAN port, and set the N AirPort to get it's internet connection through DHCP. Chance On Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 9:50 AM, starrf...@valley.net wrote: > > I'm thinking about buying an Airport Extreme N to use its ability to > mount usb disks.

Airport "N" + dialup?

I'm thinking about buying an Airport Extreme N to use its ability to mount usb disks. (According to a detailed review, it can mount multilple usb disks through a hub. Has anyone tried this?) Problem is, I need a dial-up modem. Currently I use a disk shaped Airport Extreme "g" with a built in mo
