A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.

A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.  When I unplug the extreme internet works fine.  What is the problem?  The extreme old used to be the main, but I reset when I bought the new Time Capsule.  Time Capsule is now the principal.  We had extensive network in the House for over a year with no problems until I put the Capsule in the mixture.  Why they arrive as well as the other?

Is AirPort Extreme 'extension' of the network by wireless connection to the Capsule of time... or... AirPort Extreme connects to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable connection?

  • Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

    I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

    However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

    I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

    So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

    In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

    Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

    Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

    My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

  • Network with Airport Extreme problems connected to the Linksys switch

    I have a wired network in my house.  It has the following configuration: Modem base station Airport Extreme for Linksys switch and then all wired connections.  It is in a wiring closet in a room upstairs.  I have 2 other extremes from the airport, to spread out of the range, but they are currently disabled and disconnected from the network until I have found why I get auto ip address on several of my wired connections.  I have reset the modem, EI and switch.  More wired connections seem to be working very well, but there are 4 or 5 who say that the ethernet cable is connected, but it can not connect to the internet because of a self assigned ip address.  I thought maybe it was a problem with the port of the switch, but when I plugged a cable work in, everything worked again.  Thus, for example, on my iMac, in a study downstairs, I had plugged on the ethernet port in the wall.  He let me only to connect to wireless internet.  He says the ethernet connection had a self assigned ip.  I went upstairs and took the cable from the switch and directly connected to the Airport Extreme, and then connect to this iMac worked fine via ethernet.  So I'm really confused as to why it does not work when it is connected to the switch.  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

    Because either you have a bad port on the switch (unlikely, but possible) or a wired Ethernet connection bad, or maybe both ends of several of the Ethernet cables (99% of the time, the problem is in the wiring or connectors Ethernet... not the switch).

    But, we must test the switch first and then work from there.  It might be much easier to call a guy from wire or the custom installation specialist to do all this for you, but if you want to give it a try... Here's how.  It is not difficult at this stage, just take some time.

    Unplug the switch except the Ethernet cable that connects the AirPort Extreme to each cable Ethernet switch.  Label each Ethernet cable with a number or a letter you can install the wires in their original position on the switch.

    Use of a laptop computer with an Ethernet port and a short, spare Ethernet cable... virtually no matter what length will make... and turn off the WiFi on the laptop so it should use Ethernet to connect to Internet.

    Test an Ethernet port on the switch with the laptop and the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have get a good Internet connection. If you do so, test the next port of the switch. Continue until all ports of the switch has been tested.  With luck, they will all work.

    If this is the case... which is likely... then you know that the Ethernet switch is working properly.

    Now things get a little more complicated. Ideally, you have documentation that tells you what Ethernet cable goes to what area of the House. If you don't, just connect the Ethernet cable to the switch... then go to the other end of the Ethernet cable to the wall outlet and connect the computer laptop and short Ethernet cable to the wall socket.

    If you have no documentation to indicate where each cable goes, so go ahead and connect all the Ethernet cables to the switch.

    Still, make sure that the wireless is disabled on the laptop so that it can only connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. Check if you can get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then you know that the individual Ethernet cable and the Ethernet port on the wall are working properly...

    Test other areas one at a time the same way.  You are very likely going to find Ethernet cables or a wall of ports that do not work properly. The hardest part here is that you... or a wire guy... will have to check the Ethernet cable at both ends to ensure that the Ethernet Sockets have been installed correctly.  It is not easy. The wires are tiny and its easy to get involved.  Installation of new Ethernet cards, it's really a job for an experienced guy who will provide hopefully a cable Tester well when it comes.

    Some Ethernet will certainly be replaced.  In rare cases, the cable itself has a break somewhere... and it's not easy to fix something like this, without pulling new cable... that would not be possible according to the House provision.

    When you know that all ports on the switch are working and all ports Ethernet wall around the House work... so... we can get the network set in place and working properly.

  • Speed degrades with Airport Extreme

    Hello

    I have an Airport Extreme and need to extend the wireless range to improve the signal - so I added an Airport Express.  Setup was simple and I had no problems.  Firmware is up to date on both units.

    When connected the intensity of the signal is full, but overall wireless performance decreases over time. I have a 100 GB cable connection.  Sometimes it will get between 75 GB and 100 GB, but most of the time that it is of the order of 20-29GB.  When the Apple Express is connected it can go below 10 GB.

    I had the supplier go out and check on the signal of the street in my house and they claim that the signal is very good.  I have read several posts suggesting to change the channel of 2.4 Ghz 11-to-1, so I did.  5 GHz running at 149.

    Should I reconfigure the network so the Express is the main unit connected to the Arris SB6121?  Then set up a WAN to the extreme? Or any other suggestions?

    Thank you

    Extend wireless will slow dramatic wireless... that is part of what extend wireless because of the design.

    In addition, the Express is a slow device... It is not in the same League that the extreme... its absolute maximum speed by ethernet is 100mbit. So it is hardly usable as a primary router.

    I doubt, exchanging the roles of the express and extreme will help even if we can solve another problem.

    The airport the last extreme IE height Gen6 model is not compatible with SB6121 cable modem. There is nothing wrong with any of them... they do not work together. If you just test the express... but are not wireless extend with the extreme... Use ethernet or ethernet EOP (called homeplug United States) on the power adapters... which may or may not work... but when they are far superior to wireless technology extends the installation program.

    Is be another post down 3... It is a common problem.

  • 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?

  • Wmp54gv4 crashes the system with Airport Extreme

    I had been using my Linksys wireless-G PCI adapt WMP54Gv4 on a PC running XP (SP3) and a wireless router Airport Extreme for the past 4 or 5 years without any problem. Then recently, my wireless signal had become scaly on all client machines (on PC and Mac, who reported the signals low and kept down and looking for a new PPPoE my DSL line). AT & T verified our line was very good and even sent a new modem problems, so I bought a new Airport Extreme last week. This solves the problem of reliability of the network on the Mac very well.

    However, the PC with the adapter WMP54Gv4 now crashes whenever the new Airport Extreme is turned on. There has been no change in hardware or software on the PC, but it produces now surely a BSOD indicating "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". This accident also happens when you start in safe mode with network. I can avoid the system crash when starting in safe mode without network or start normally without my Airport Extreme on, although I don't see this error: "Linksys Wireless Network Monitor: access violation at address 0040756 D in module EMP54Gv4.exe."

    So I can't run all the tests of the PCI card on the machine when the wireless network is enabled, because the operating system crashes.

    Accordingly, the evidence points to an explanation where my wireless network against the new Airport Extreme is tripping the operation of the wireless adapter linksys in a way that hate the XP. I know that the wireless network is correct, because it works fine on my Mac. I confirmed that my (v3.0.3.0) driver is still listed under the current name of this PCI card, it is not a matter of having an out-of-date driver.

    Here is another observation that may be relevant: when I started the new Airport Extreme with WPA2 protection, the PC could run without crashing, but it didn't connect to the wireless network. I also had trouble connecting through my Mac. Then I changed the Airport Extreme to use WPA/WPA2 security, i.e. when the crash of PC networked ensued (Although Macs can connect very well now).

    Someone has encountered this problem before or have any troubleshooting tips? Thank you.

    OK, problem has been solved, thanks to some fine work of Ron Hubbert to http://rhsoftware.com (my offer of $100 tip went not claimed). Here's what he discovered:

    My PC power supply is gone belly up, why it could not be turned on. It is likely that before it is completely dead, bad functioning caused by the card to fail (and BSOD PC) as he tried to draw power in the presence of a wireless network. Feeding to bum probably damaged the card when it failed. With the new power in place now, the original card is unusable, and it prevents the computer from starting.

    So I have a new card after all, wireless network card if the attempt to install with a bad power supply could lead to the new card is fried as well. Fortunately, the food was not functional when I put the new card, so it was spared.

    I don't know if my story applies to the situation of MrQuizzle, but I suspect that it is related to food, because it doesn't happen only in the presence of a wireless network when the map starts demanding power. It's worth a try. Give a http://rhsoftware.com if you are in the SF East Bay, he'll fix you up.

  • How to configure DynDNS for camera IP with Airport Extreme?

    Hello... I recently bought an airport extreme 6th gen.

    I have an IP camera installed on my cabin, which I would like to access remotely for security reasons.

    My internet provider does not have a fixed IP address, so I need to be able to access my camera, even if my IP address changes.

    I understand that I must install a Dyn DNS, but I can't seem to set it up on my airport extreme.

    Is it possible to do?  If not, is there any IP camera on the market that is completely compatible with Airport Extreme for remote access?

    DynDNS don't think you can do this with an Airport Extreme

    https://help.dyn.com/airport-and-time-capsule-with-dynamic-DNS/>

    If you have another computer in the cabin, you can then run a DynDNS update utility on this computer.

    If not, perhaps you should consider a different router for the cabin.  You could put the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and still use it.

  • Airport Extreme and Cox Internet IPv6 problem

    This is one notification to others as well as a question:

    I have Cox Cable high speed Internet in several places using an Airport Extreme 3 GB connected as a router to the modem cable Cox.

    For more than a week, we would find regularly in the morning that the outside connection to internet DNS servers were lost.  We called Cox several times and they have done the usual reset of the router and the modem and things seem to work for some time.  But the next day again.

    They came out and replaced the connections, I I had to buy a new cable modem and I replaced a digital switch.  Every time things seem to work for some time.

    I thought to replace the Airport Extreme (I read others did in a similar situation without result).

    After much frustration, I started looking for Airport Extreme and DNS and found similar stories.

    After that several unproductive calls with Cox Internet of first level support, I finally reached a level which acknowledged that Cox was the IPv6 deployment and he was having a problem with Airport Extreme routers.  They said Apple was working on it and gave me a number to call for support from router from apple.  Unfortunately the number they gave was no longer valid.

    I persisted and finally got the Apple support and indeed they knew the problem and said Cox was working on that... But there was a temporary problem - and that was to disable iPv6 on the airport extreme (more precisely (internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only).)

    For now it seems to have stopped the decline during the night which seems to happen between 12:00 and 02:00.  By experience, I do not think that its really a problem of compaibility IPV6, but how the router meets some kind of rebate to zero/test signal signal service is done in early morning.

    So the question is - does anyone know with certainty what happens or who really works on this.  From my point of view, both sides think it's the other problem.  BTW - I've read about other people with Non Apple routers running after something similar.

    GABarber,

    I also had a similar problem.  Prior service of Cox Communications in Phoenix AZ has been rescinded and recently restored (March 1) yesterday afternoon.  After the departure of the technician, the wi - fi failed to produce a valid connection, citing DNS error and no response from the server.  We have a new modem, CISCO, at an Air Port/Time Capsule 2 TB ethernet cable.

    After talking with support for level 2 level 1 and then Cox, there was sufficient evidence for a correct signal via the modem, but the Port of the Air was not picking up or he issued (by Cox).  Check my Air Port Utility apps on iMac and iPhone shows a signal Internet or Air Port casual, but never the two together.  The modem and the Air Port so would show appropriate green led lights up, but in vain to work wi - fi.

    The only thing that has worked so far is your solution listed above: Air Port utility > Internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only.

    Thank you, GABarber.

  • can a wifi with an airport extreme network be extended with two Airport express wireless?

    I have developed successfully the range of my wifi network by connecting an older brick of Airport express to a new airport extreme. Unfortunately, there is a room more than I would like to achieve, so I'm trying to add a second (newer) to bring in this room to get full coverage. When I try to set up in the airport utility it hits an "unexpected error" message continually or breaks down the network. should I change in the settings? the express environment be on something else (like a relay?) in order to allow the new express to join the network? I have reset the factory default final express and tried to let the wizard implemented to extend my existing network.

    I understand that I will sacrifice speed, but there is no way to connect them at the present time. worst case, I should better results if I break through the floor and the extreme of wire in the Middle express?

    Thank you

    David

    Sorry, but Apple will allow you only to wireless "extend" the network once, not two.

    In other words, just about any device that "extends" the network must connect directly to the 'main' router... not to another router that is already expanding the network.

    Another way of saying the same thing... both your need for extensions at about the same distance from the 'main' router and two extensions should be closer to the main router they are to each other.

    You want to continue trying to implement the 2nd AirPort Express Terminal?

    "I should better results if I break through the floor and the extreme of wire in the Middle express?


    Yes, that would allow you to do what you want, assuming that the 'remote' Express can pick up a good signal of the Middle Express wireless.

  • How to extend a WiFi router network not Apple using Airport Extreme and Express?

    My cable ISP company just gave me a new modem/router - a DG of Arris - 2470. For the last two years I used a cable modem independent older with a connected Airport Extreme (both located on the ground floor) and an Airport Express station on the floor as an Extender. I was very happy with the power of the signal around the House.

    Since his arrival to the Arris router my signal has become very low to the floor. I would use my two Apple devices to extend/boost my network, but do not know how to do this.

    Thank you!

    Basically, you have two options:

    1. (Best overall performance of the network) Connect the extreme and Express on the Arris Ethernet gateway device and configure all for a traveling-type network. This would require an Ethernet connection between all routers that can be accomplished by either using Ethernet cable or the use of mains adapters.
    2. (The overall performance of the adequate network) Simply connect the extreme to the Arris Ethernet, then extend the extreme using the Express.

    Which of these do you prefer?

  • Impossible to extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network

    I have a wireless network set up with a time Capsule airport 4th generation.  I'm trying to take my old AirPort Extreme wireless 3rd generation. I have double. Kettle has implemented, but I get the status message on the extreme that it cannot extend the network.  I can get a strong signal on my iPhone from the point that I have placed extreme itching so I'm close enough to the time Capsule.

    Could I use a connection by current bearer through my home wiring to the extreme and extend it like that?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps closely and report on your results.

    Power off time Capsule airport.

    Wait 10 to 15 seconds

  • Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

    Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

    Someone has an idea of what's going on?

    Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

    You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

    If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

    Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

    Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

  • Extend my extreme network with another extreme - waiting for internet access

    Hello - I have a new generation Airport Extreme (let's call it Extreme1) connected to a Comcast modem and it works very well. The extreme will be the router that the modem has no router function. I'm trying to expand my network to another room with another extreme (let's call it Extreme2). I have a connection cable between two rooms. Extreme1 has an ethernet cable from one of its LAN ports connected on port WAN Extreme2. When I try to create a new network with Extreme2 (in aid of the same name, passwords, etc.) it does not work. He was suspended at the end when he is looking for a connection ("Waiting for internet access")-I did the following things based on what I read here:

    1. Changed IPv6 link local parameters
    2. Tried the whole upward on my Macbook and tried on my iphone
    3. The Wan first and then tried to change the configuration after you done for Extreme2 by creating a network
    4. Tried to create a network with Extreme2 connected directly to the modem
    5. Extreme2 factory reset after every attepmt

    And nothing works. Kicker is, I also have a reasonably new airport express and the same thing happens to her as well.

    Do I need to adjust some parameters of network that I'm not aware of? Is it possible that my LAN ports are disabled on Extreme2? It is brand new.

    Thanks for any help.

    Have you used the Apple Setup Assistant?  If you did, it had notified you that the extreme second was being configured "add using Ethernet. The wizard will automatically configure the second airport with the appropriate settings for you.  All you have to do is enter a name of device for the second AirPort Extreme.

    Here I'm assuming that you reset the second extreme to parameters by default until you set it up again and that your second Extreme is the current version of the "tower" or that of previous versions "flat or square.

    The example below shows an AirPort Express as the device which is the extension of the network, but you will see the name of your network and AirPort Extreme on your configuration screen.

    Post back if you need some tips on using the "Wizard" for your configuration.
