2nd airport Extreme replaces an older AP, it is connected via wifi or ethernet?

Sorry for what is lame, I read on the news from Apple, but I'm a bit confused with the concept of the expansion of the range with a bridge instead of an access point.

The original installation was an extreme Apple with a TrendNet AP. The Trendnet used a different SSID, the new bridge to the AESB uses the same SSID as the router/AESB. I used the Airport utility, and I think that it only gave me an option to extend the reach of the original AEBS. The new bridge to the AESB is connected to Ethernet.

I'm confused that if the new AESB uses the same SSID as the AESB/router, it means that it does not use the ethernet connection. How can I know if the second AESB is using the Ethernet connection or extend the reach of the Wifi? Or actually I mess up and need to re-setup the AESB?

A bridge is actually one access point, but uses the same SSID? all the other differences?

Thanks in advance!

Let's back off on the terminology for a bit, since terms such as 'spread', 'bridge' and 'access point' can mean different things to different people.

You have an AirPort Extreme at the moment which produces a signal of wireless network, correct?

You want to add another AirPort Extreme to your AirPort Extreme network, correct?

You want the new AirPort Extreme to connect to the existing AirPort Extreme using wired, Ethernet wired, permanent, correct?

You want the new AirPort Extreme using the same wireless network name and password as your existing AirPort Extreme, correct?

  • The airPort Extreme has green light, but nothing can connect to it.

    My 5th generation AirPort Extreme suddenly stopped allowing all devices connect via WiFi or Ethernet. I can't see it in the AirPort Utility, I can not access it via the browser, and I've rebooted several times without success. I'm afraid, it may have just died, but I'll try to revive because while I can buy a new one, I hate the look of the new units. Any suggestions?

    Try powering down of the entire network... all devices... in any order you want

    Wait a minute

    Start the modem and let it run a few minutes

    Start the AirPort Extreme and run a full minute

    Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

  • 2nd airport Extreme not found in Airport utility

    I recently replaced an Airport Extreme 6 years with a new one. The former we worked, but the range of its signal seems to have declined, so we replaced.

    Now the news is up and running without problem. And I would take the old and use it to extend our network. We already have an Airport Express Terminal to expand the network, so this would add another node.

    I moved to its new location and plugged the power cord. It shows the yellow flashing light. However, the old Airport Extreme does not appear in Airport utility. Screenshot attached. There is nothing in the section other devices Wi - Fi.

    ZeroOne_nomap-2 is my new base station. AirPort Express of Sunny was already part of the network. The old base station does not appear.

    Any ideas?

    You must reset the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme back to default settings, before it can be put in place to expand the network.

    Temporarily, to locate the 2nd Gen airport near the new AirPort Extreme

    Turn on the 2nd Gen airport a few minutes

    Then hold down the reset button on the back of the airport for 5 to 6 seconds then release

    Allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Now click the WiFi icon at the top of your Mac.

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click on AirPort Extreme, just below this list

    Who will get the "Wizard" configuration running. It will take a few seconds to display a screen that looks like this, except that you can see your devices and the network name.

    Type a name you want to call the 2nd Gen airport

    Click next

    The wizard will set up everything for you. When you see an installation message, click done

    Now, turn off the power and pass the 2nd Gen to its new location where it can receive a strong signal from the AiPort Extreme 'hand' and turn on the 2nd Gen airport

  • Airport Extreme REPLACE Comcast xfinity box of fact?

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, do I put up to REPLACE my current Comcast xfinity box (coax in, ethernet Mac, wifi for iPhones) or it is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Any advice?

    Thank you very much

    George

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, I put up to REPLACE my existing Comcast xfinity box (coax in)

    No, since AirPort Extreme is not a modem... it has no co - ax entered... it's a router only.

    It is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    Yes, but there is really no reason to add an AirPort Extreme, since your gateway is actually a modem and router within a single package. If you add the AirPort Extreme, you will have a modem and two routers... probably something you need not... unless you need more wireless networks.

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Adding an AirPort Extreme to your gateway will not solve this problem.  Maybe a different model or brand of gateway that could solve the problem. You must check with Comcast on this possibility.

  • Network slow 2nd Airport Extreme AC reviews

    Hello:

    We have two units of the Airport Extreme AC. One of them (the principal) is connected to our cable modem, and the other (secondary) is connected to the primary via ethernet.  The secondary AC unit allows to extend our networks wireless in another part of our House.  We used the Airport 6.3.6 utility to configure both units in HQ.

    We have three different wireless networks.  One of them is our 5G, the other 2. 4 g, and the third is our network of comments.  5G and 2.4 G networks have the same password, and the guest network has a different password.

    Everything seems to work perfectly, with the exception of the network invited on our secondary AC unit only.  It is very slow; less than 2 Mbps using speedtest.net.  All our other wireless networks (including comments on the primary AC network) to the Internet from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps speeds.

    A few more details.  Our secondary air conditioning unit is configured in Bridge mode, and it's 'creation' (not extending not) our wireless networks.  This secondary unit was created in this way by the Airport utility.

    Anyone has an idea why our network comments on the secondary AC unit is so slow?

    Thank you!

    It is a problem with the design of the network.

  • The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

    I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

    My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

    Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

    I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

    I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

    Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

    I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

    It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

  • Extending Airport Extreme 802.11ac with older Airport Extreme 802.11n

    I need to extend the coverage of my wifi and I have an a 802.11ac AE and two former, 802.11n AE units and all are still functional.  Specifically, can the newest Airport Extreme 802.11ac extended by an older Airport Extreme 802.11n if it is connected by ethernet cable?  If it can be done, what setting (bridge mode or extend the network mode) should be used on the 802.11ac model?  Any other need to know the tips would be greatly appreciated as well.  Thank you...

    can the newest Airport Extreme 802.11ac be extended by an older Airport Extreme 802.11n if it is connected by ethernet cable?

    Yes, it's can... goal that the wireless "ac" will not be extended, of course. Here, I assume you think 802.11ac airport your 'main' airport and airport 802.11n as the airport of their extension.

    which parameter (bridge mode or extend the network mode) should be used on the 802.11ac model?

    You would not change the settings on the 802.11ac airport

    Reset an 802.11n AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the three ports on the airport of 802.11ac for WAN "O" from the airport on the AirPort Extreme 802.11n which extend the LAN network<-->

    Configuration to use Apple "Assistant" to put in place the AirPort Extreme 802.11n and it will feature the correct Assembly for you.  Everything you really need to do is assign a name that you want to call the airport and "Wizard" will take care of everything else.

  • Purchase of 3rd Apple Airport Extreme Base Station

    My current 2 Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations (the two 5th generation) are implemented as shown in the screenshot below.

    My fiber service (80 MB/s) is hard directly on an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station plugged into my home office (via an Ethernet cable that connects from the box of fiber on the outside wall of my house to this AE).

    While AE is hard wired to a 2nd AE in a separate building in my back yard (via an underground conduit of PVC).

    Wired connection that's not a separate Ethernet cable.

    Instead, my provider of fiber spliced in an existing telephone cable that already existed.

    Currently hard connected directly to that 2nd AE in the building separated (via Ethernet cable) are the following:

    My Dell Precision Tower 5810

    My Canon imageCLASS MF6160dw (all-in-one)

    Printer color of my Epson Stylus Pro WF-5190

    (Suite after screenshot)

    I am replacing a very old 30 "TV Sony with a 60" LED Smart TV & want to run an Ethernet cable from the AE 1st in my home office to the living room where will be the TV.

    My intention is to add a Roku at the same place than television.

    In addition, I want to increase my wifi signal in the room.

    I know that the Express is 1/2 the cost of the extreme, but will most likely go to the extreme. - If the extreme will give me faster speeds for my Roku and TV.  In addition, I like to have the additional ports available if I ever sign anything else.

    My fiber Service is 80 MB/s Up & Down, but I regularly receive about 96 +.

    80 MB/s is no longer offered by my supplier of fiber, but I'm grandfathered in.

    The available speeds are now 45 (?) with the speed of 100 Mbps.

    I think I'm really on 100 Mbps service.

    QUESTIONS :

    The 2nd AE has been "extended" EI from 1.

    Just as "extend" the 3rd AE?

    For speed best / highest in the living room, the most recent AE should be in the living room next to the TV & the Roku, or he would replace the 1st AE who is in my home office since it is one that is connected directly to the box of fiber on the outside wall of my house?

    Other recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

    The 2nd AE has been "extended" EI from 1.

    Just as "extend" the 3rd AE?

    Yes, either by connecting to the extreme 1... recommended, if possible... .or extreme 2nd... If it is not convenient to connect to the 1st.

    Locate the extreme new... which has a much better arrangement... wireless antenna where it provide the most benefits to nearby wireless devices.

    Otherwise, you might want to consider renaming your airports, because the current device names far exceed the recommended length name a 26 characters max, including spaces. Keep the name short and simple wireless network as well... and to avoid special characters in the name... as an apostrophe, a sign dollar, asterisk, etc..

  • How to use Airport Extreme with ethernet leased line

    Hello friends,

    I was wondering if Airport Extreme is a true router, can I connect gout ethernet of my leased line directly in its WAN port, rather than put the provided ISP router between the two? I have lived many positions and all seem to suggest the connection of a cable/dsl modem to the WAN port on the extreme. Not found any information where it shows the ethernet line rented directly linking in the Giga WAN port, without any 2nd device in the meantime.

    If it's possible, then I guess also what public IP provided PSI can be put into the WAN of AE interface. Can someone develop more on it and detail the steps of configuration? Given that EI has basic firewall NAT, I think it's doable, but can someone confirm please.

    Thank you very much.

    Temporarily, if you connect your computer directly to the Ethernet line, can you get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If so, then AIrPort Extreme could function as a router for you, but you are also likely to face a Double NAT error on the network. How well... or, even if... This might work cannot be known until try you it.

    If the computer cannot connect, then what is required of your supplier for the computer to connect and get Internet access?

  • How do I properly fill my Airport Extreme to my Time Capsule?

    I'm trying to set up an Airport Extreme as a bridge to my Time Capsule via ethernet, so I can extend the range of my network. However, when I followed: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204616 I didn't see an option to "Share a public IP address" because the step by step seems to be older than my current Airport utility. How can ensure me that the setting applies?

    In the new version of airport utility, the installation program should be close automatic.

    Simply plug the new extreme in the TC with an ethernet cable... Extreme WAN LAN TC.

    Then run through the airport utility Setup Wizard.

    Use your own names... No, apple has recommended... I strongly suggest using short names... < 10 characters not alphanumeric pure spaces.

    It should then come with extend wired (ethernet).

    In case of failure we can do it manually... It is simple to install.

    Share a public IP address is not relevant because it is managed by the TC in any case.

    The extreme is dhcp on the Internet tab.

    Create a wireless network in the wireless tab.

    And the bridge on the network tab.

  • Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

    I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

    Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

    So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

    FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

    I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

    Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

    http://PortForward.com/English/routers/port_forwarding/Apple/AirPortExtreme/Slin gBox.htm

    It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

    If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

    If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

    Port scan started...

    Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

    Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

    Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

    Port scan has completed...

    My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

    BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

    TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

    See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

  • Extended to Airport Extreme Ethernet ports not IP address assignment.

    I have an Airport Extreme as my basic router and another Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, which runs from the router.

    Since the extended Airport extreme, I have an Ethernet Hub and a Macbook Pro connected via an Ethernet Port, but every time I attach any device to the ethernet port on the Airport Extreme of the device has an auto assigned IP.

    Although, when I'm attached to the long terminal Airport Express, it's the IP assignment correctly.

    Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

    Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

    The two airports 'extension'... the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express... are in Bridge Mode when they "extend a wireless network".  DHCP (the process of allocating IP addresses... is disabled when a device is in Bridge Mode... it's up to your "main" AirPort Extreme to assign all IP addresses to network devices.)

    The 'extension' airports simply pass the IP address information to connected devices... the devices 'extension' assign IP addresses themselves.

    Since the AirPort Express works correctly, it seems that the 'extension' AirPort Extreme is the culprit.  From what you have told us, it seems that if the Ethernet switch on the device is not working properly. We learn more about this unit before us to jump to conclusions.

    (1) what is a newer version of the 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme or an older version of 'flat' or 'square' to the extreme?  If it is the old version, we need the model number of the bottom of the unit.  It starts with an "A" followed four digits.

    (2) when you connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports to the extreme that extends, is the little green light next the port light?

    (3) what operating system you are using on the Mac or the PC that you use to configure the airports?

  • Airport Extreme Double NAT / AT &amp; T NVG510

    My Internet connection has worked very well for several years, until recently, when the simple DSL modem (a Motorola 2210-02 - 1ATT) provided by AT & T began to experience intermittent outages. Initially, the DSL modem would lose the line for a minute or two at a time. But within 48 hours, the line started to drop during the hours in a row (synchronization failed line DSL). Whenever the modem has lost the line, my Airport Extreme (the router on my home network), shows a "Double NAT" alert. But whenever the modem 2210-02 DSL connection has been restored, alert the Airport Extreme's "Double NAT" disappeared.

    After a day and a half problems, the line is down for so many hours that I finally called AT & T to check the status of our range. So, AT & T sent a technician who concluded fairly quickly the 2210-02-1ATT was the problem and replaced it with a modem/router combo (manufacturing date 11/2014) NVG510 (with router function disabled in the settings).

    The speed that results and the quality of the connection via the NVG510 were good, so the tech packed 2210-02 in his bag and left. But now I get that alert "Double NAT" once again on my Airport Extreme, even if the home network is apparently working as well as it ever did.

    The only setting I changed was on the NVG510 - as soon as the technology has left, I turned off the WiFi on the NVG510 function because I want the Airport Extreme to my router, same as always.

    So far so good. After 24 hours with the NVG510 in place, the network worked well with no major hiccups, the only exception being the status of "Double NAT" alert displayed in Airport utility. In fact, had I have not bothered to watch Airport utility, I don't know that there was a "Double NAT" alert

    Everything on the side of the NVG510 LAN is identical to what was in place with the 2210-02...

    Airport Extreme 802.11ac works as "router" with the WiFi signal on another floor via an Airport Extreme 802.11n wireless (5th generation).

    The WiFi signal provides web access to some desktop Mac, AppleTV, devices, mobile phones, tablet computers and a laptop (laptop is the only device that uses a VPN).

    The network on the Airport Express 802.11ac, who serves as router, is "DHCP and NAT." and the "5th Gen," which extends the wireless network, set mode "bridge."

    After hours of searching online, I understand that this problem is surely the result of the NVG510, and that this problem exists for at least five years. I've read at least a few tens of different ways to try a fix via adjustments to settings, but none reached the level of a real solution.

    Although my network is no problem at the moment, I'm afraid that "Double NAT" alert is a sword of Damocles that will eventually crash my network, a situation I like to avoid. I dared not yet connect the laptop with a VPN to the router, but out of fear that will bring down the whole network.

    I'd rather solve the "Double NAT" proactively.

    Is there a a way to eliminate the Double "Nat" by adjusting the parameters of the NVG510 and/or the Airport Extreme?  Or, my fears of future problems and a VPN disaster are unfounded?

    Thank you

    According to your comments, the NVG510 has not been reconfigured as a bridge and is providing routing functions (NAT & DHCP).

    To resolve the Double NAT is the new Motorola NVG510 or AirPort Extreme needs to be reconfigured under a bridge. The simplest solution would be to reconfigure the extreme. In this way, the NVG510 can handle NAT & DHCP services required by clients of network connected to the extreme to access the Internet.

    To reconfigure the extreme as a gateway, use the AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility and then select the extreme.
    • Click on Extreme and then, select Edit.
    • Click the network tab to select it.
    • Change the router Mode to: Off (bridge Mode)
    • Click on update and allow extreme restart.
  • AirPort Extreme Base Station 4th Gen

    Hi all

    I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station renovated 4th Gen router connected to a modem Arris SB6141 cable.  I had this AEBS for almost 5 years with no problems.  Last night, we had severe weather in the region and almost immediately after a lightning strike extremely close, our internet came out.  Service was also restored and our modem works properly.  However the AEBS is orange with intermittent flashing green.  When I opened the AirPort Utility to diagnose and fix the problem, I was prompted to connect the Ethernet cable to the AEBS.  All cables/cords are connected and secure.  I cycled power on all equipment, tried different cables and even performed a hard reset on the AEBS, and again, it won't recognize the cable Ethernet is plugged.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I guess you have tried another Ethernet cable between the modem and AirPort Extreme... and if this is the case, the storm produced a wave that damaged the port WAN on AirPort Extreme... even if the modem cannot have been hit.

    All you can do is try a Factory default Reset on the AirPort Extreme several times to see if that could help. Good luck!

  • Airport extreme

    I use an AirPort Extreme as my WiFi router.  Currently, my Mac, the printer, the iPad and the iPhone is connect via WiFi.  If I were to plug "wired" to my Mac Mini, I'd get better performance?  That would be spoiling my WiFi network?  Can I just run a cable to the back of the AirPort Extreme to my Mac Mini, or I have to reconfigure my network WiFi?

    If I were to plug "wired" to my Mac Mini, I'd get better performance?

    Yes, the speed capability of connection between the airport and the Mac Mini would double or more.

    That would be spoiling my WiFi network?

    NO.

    Can I just run a cable to the back of the AirPort Extreme to my Mac Mini

    Yes

    I have to reconfigure my network WiFi?

    No, but you do not want to turn off the WiFi on the Mac Mini to make sure that the connection between the Mac Mini and AirPort Extreme will be via a wired connection.
