AIRPORT EXTREME 5TH X HUAWEI MT880

I'm facing some problems with my airport extreme 5th gen. I have a Huawei MT880 (ADSL) modem as bridge connected to the airport in PPPoE mode. I get a connection but the IP (authentication between modem and airport) is frequently lost. Please, let me know how I can solve this problem as I had a linksys WRT54 connected to this modem without any problem. I have a PC (Win XP) connected to the airport through a cable and I have 1 IPAD and 1 notebook (Win XP) connected through wi-fi. tks a lot.

Airport Extreme-OTHER, Windows XP

Hello there trogovaz!

I found this article that I feel may help you out in this situation:

AirPort: Can Connect to Base Station But Not to Internet When Using PPPoE

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1850

The resolution section specifically.

Resolution

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
2. Choose View > Network.
3. Choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu.
4. Click the PPPoE tab.
5. Click the PPPoE Options button.
6. Deselect the "Connect automatically when needed" option.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Apply Now.

Regards,

Sterling
