Motorola SBG6580 bridged to AirPort Extreme?

OK - that helps - but let me ask - do I then plug an Ethernet cable from the modem (any port) to the INTERNET port on the AEx? That one has me a bit confused...

Well, I got so far as entering the MAC address for the AEx router - looked on bottom and there wasn't one. I don't have/can't find the box, AirPort Utility won't see the Extreme, so I feel just a little screwed at the moment...

Thanks anyway,

Clinton

Right now, I can't even get AU to see the Extreme - I'm putting this project up for the morning - I'll tackle it again this evening. Had some strange goings-on in trying to undo what I did. I need to make my own step-by-step guide, culled from the info I've put together thus far...

Thanks,

Clinton

Finally got it all up and running with my "lightening" fast speeds and my AirPort Extreme - I was following some of the directions which said to disconnect the coax - which didn't work for me - and I finally just followed the directions without unplugging the ciax, used the three different 'docs' that I'd found online and was able to get rid of the old NAT and bridge to my AirPort Extreme (with its much fast and more reliable speeds, syronger signal, etc.).

Thanks to all who pitched in here and in the other discussion (question wasn't mine there, so I couldn't reward with points!).

Thanks, again,

Clinton

If there were many around here with the Motorola SBG6580, I'd write a User Tip about how I accomplished what was a difficult task to really figure out, what with all the documentation available on the Internet was non-AirPort Extreme-specific.

But now that I know I'll just add this forum to my watch list, should anyone encounter the same problems that I did.

Thanks, again, edex67 - you pointed me in the right direction.
