You can use the same wireless network name and password that you used before, or set up a new wireless network name and password. The utility will walk you through the setup. Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Now re-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on the Mac. Power up the modem and let the modem run for 10 minutes by itself, then power up the AirPort Express and let it run for a few minutes

To do that.ġ) Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or twoĢ) Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 10-12 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Expressģ) Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to the slow, blinking amber lightĪfter you have waited at least 30 minutes with the modem powered off and the battery removed, reinstall the battery, connect the Co-ax cable, and connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express. Next, the AirPort Express must be reset back to factory default settings so that it will work with the new modem. Leave the modem powered off at least 30 minutes, longer is better. Instructions to remove the battery are here: ARRIS : Touchstone E-MTA TM822 That means.ġ) Powering off the modem completely by pulling the power cable from the back of the device or from the wall AC jack.Ģ) Removing the backup battery from the modemģ) Disconnecting the Co-Ax cable and Ethernet cable To do that, the modem must be completely reset back to its default settings. So the trick is make the modem "forget" the desktop, so that it will associate correctly with a new device.your AirPort Express. The modem has associated with your desktop, so it "remembers" the desktop and it will not deliver a valid IP address to any other device to which it connects, like the AirPort Express. You should try the setup with the iPhone or iPad if the Macs are still not cooperating. You did not mention whether you have an iPad or iPhone, but either of those devices can be used to set up the AirPort Express as well if you prefer. Then power up the modem after the power down period and proceed as outlined above. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow blinking amber light, then power it off again.

This time, power up the Express and let it run a minute, then hold in the reset button for 10-12 seconds and release.

A 30 minute power down should be sufficient. Once that is done, if you have connected the modem to any other device other than the AirPort Express, you must reset it again as I already detailed. Then do the same thing for both WiFi and Ethernet on the other Mac. Now repeat the same sequence as above, except this time, click on Ethernet on the left side to highlight it, then proceed with the same steps. Make sure that the setting for Configure iPv6 is set to Link Local Only 1 Establish an a straight Ethernet cable port connection between the DG1670 and your computer.
