About Airport Express speed

So I have an airport express 802.11n 1 St gen. I just had a new place and got a TWC modem with internet high speed 200/20. To maximize the speed of the internet, I bought my router? And if not what device would be capable of managing the total capacity of the modem (the 2nd gen vs extreme). Thank you very much!

The AirPort Express... the 2nd Gen version... or 1st generation has a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, which would be the theoretical maximum connection speed which is the version of the Express could bring.

The AIrPort Extreme has a 1 000 Mbit/s Ethernet port, so he won't have any trouble to manage a 200 Mbps Internet connection... and much more if it is higher speeds are available.

On a 300 Mbps connection here with TWC Internet, AirPort Extreme usually book on 325-330 Mbits / s, indicating that TWC gives more than they promised.

  • Airport Express - speed test slow on iPhone vs iPad

    Using the application of Test of speed, connected to the same network, sitting next to each other, my iPad constantly hit them paid 80 Mbps, while the Iphone generally only hit 35.

    This isn't a question of AirPort Express.

    The iPhone is not known for his speed, probably due to a smaller antenna that the iPad uses, so you can't spend a lot of time or be too concerned on this issue. By comparison, your iPhone is doing better than mine.

  • Airport express at slow speed of the modem Arris SB6190

    Hello!

    My so-called WIFi Comcast gives me 150Mbps. My test only show 70 or slower speed on a WiFi test. After the call to them they told me to talk to my modems customer service. But their customer service is terrible. Here is my setup and yes everything has been switched off voltage and reset. And Comcast has been created with the modem while the Comcast guy was here. From the start after a few hard reset the express worked. Here's the question and the installation program.

    I have a SB6190 (not wireless), Arris directly connected to my Airport express. The express (which deals with my wireless connection) is connected to a switch (for wired devices). But I think that my problem is the Express. ? Not sure, I guess my question is I do something wrong in public services from the airport with the Express settings? I do not see why I get more 75Mbps wireless. Or maybe Apple if your reading, you can give it a fix on your next update. Hope you can help and thanks!

    Here some thoughts:

    (1) the Airport Express uses 100 ports Ethernet of Mbit/s, so the theoretical maximum speed that could be achieved with an Ethernet or Wi - Fi through the Express would be 100 Mbit / s.

    (2) the Express is not known for his speed wireless. On a connection of 100 Mbps Internet here, I see usually 45 - 50 Mbps at best more wireless, no matter if the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is used.  Ethernet checks better about 75-80 MB/s to the Express LAN port.

    (3) these are user to user support forums, so it is very unlikely that anyone from Apple will ever see your post. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, you can do so here: Apple Apple - AirPort Express - Feedback will acknowledge receipt of your message, but they will not respond after that.

    (4) the AirPort Express was introduced almost 4 years ago and it's been 2 years that Apple has provided an update firmware for the product, so additional updates are not probably... my opinion.

  • Airport Express connection speed

    I have 40 MB/s internet speed down.  I have a new modem century link (recently moved home - new internet service) feed my Airport express.   Until a few days ago I received all 40 Mbps through my Airport Express wireless.  Now it is capped to 10 for some reason any.  The only thing that has changed is that I had to power cycle my modem to redirect a couple power cords in my basement.  When I connect my computer to the same ethernet cable that feeds the Airport express I get the full 40.  I tried to restart everything. I tried all channels 2,4 ghz manual on the express (I didn't configured 5 GHz because I really don't need right now).  I don't know why its running at 10 and not 40 like a few days ago.

    What is the brand and model of your modem provided by century link? What exact model is your base station AirPort Express? Is the Express directly connected to the modem by Ethernet?

  • Yesterday my AirPort express (2nd generation) wanted to update to be r 7.6.7. After that the speed of the aircraft fell sharply. Everyone has experienced similar behavior? Tips to solve the problem are welcome.

    Yesterday my Airport Express wanted to updated, I did. (from 7.4.6 to 7.6.7).

    After that, he started to behave erratically with big drops in speed. Anyone have similar experiences? How can I fix this without having to buy a new one.

    Stop your Mac. Turn off your Airport Express and stop the modem from your ISP. Wait 10 minutes, then turn on the modem to ISP, and then the Airport Express base station. Power on your Mac. Re-evaluate your performance problems.

    Run thisor that in this preference order to assess your latency time, download and bandwidth. You may need to modify the server or the other.

    I have upgrade 7.6.7 on my 4th gen Airport Extreme and observed no performance degradation to before the update.

    Sometimes the ISP gets their DNS in a tangle and makes the network almost Catatonic until they have to fix things. Nothing to do in this case at the user level. Did you call your ISP and asked them to check their equipment on your premises?

  • Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

    My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

    When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

    117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

    At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

    Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps

    Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

    My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

    If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

    In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

    BTW:

    1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

    2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

    Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

    Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

    Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

    If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

    Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

  • Airport Express wifi speed

    Hello

    I have a 200 Mbps TWC service. I use TWC provided modem Arris 1070a (NAT = bridge) and have an Airport Express connected via Ethernet to my wireless router.

    When I connect my macbook pro directly to the modem arris via ethernet, I get over 200 Mbps download speed. However, when I use my wifi 5 GHz of my Airport express network, I'm only syncing on 30mbps.

    I understand that the Express has a 10/100 Ethernet port, but I should at least get 80 or 90 Mbps on wifi.

    Any ideas that I can do to get a speed more fast wifi other than trying to the extreme?

    Thank you

    Vishal200

    However, when I use my wifi 5 GHz of my Airport express network, I'm only syncing on 30mbps.

    What is the speed of the wireless link? Option, click the wifi icon in the top menu. This will give you lots of useful information...

    You must be related to the 300mbps... If this isn't the case, it will go just not fast.

  • Airport Express 5 GHz network speed

    Hello

    I have a 200 Mbps service, obviously connected via Ethernet, the ISP told me that their modem was not argued that the wireless speed, they suggested me to purchase an Airport Express station (I did), I'm not having that speed yet, they told me that maybe it was because the Airport Express Terminal was not connected via a CAT6 cable (which perhaps it is true because it was an old cable LAN) , but read a lot of discussion, I fear I won't get it this speed even with a CAT6 cable, I can't return my Airport Express (Mexico political Service suck) and get an Airport Extreme, then:

    I'm preparing here? I can't 200Mbps wireless with an Airport Express Terminal? What you suggest me to do? (Purchase am than airport Extreme is not an option right now $$$)

    PS I'm so afraid Bob Timmons brings me bad news

    Thank you

    Sorry, but it's not really important that you use CAT5 or CAT6 wiring as the Ethernet on the AirPort Express ports are limited to 100 Mbps. You never reach 200 Mbit/s that your ISP provides to you. The AirPort Extreme, has on the other hand, all Ethernet 1 Gbps ports.

  • The Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a good solution?

    I'm moving so leaving the wifi station that Verizon gave me. I think I have the Apple AirPort Express Base Station by station WiFi. I connected an iMac (main computer) MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone.

    My main question is how this used for the WiFi base station compares to others on the market.

    Thank you!

    Johnny

    The AirPort Express has limited the ability of speed due to its slow and limited capacity wireless Ethernet port due to its very small built in WiFi antennas.

    However, if the plan of your new Internet Service Provider (ISP) is limited to about 50 Mbit/s, then the Express would probably be OK if most wireless devices will be located near the AirPort Express Terminal.

    If the budget allows, an AirPort Extreme is a much better product... up to 10 times the speed of the Express... with additional WiFi antennas located just above the 'tour' to improve performance.

    If your new ISP plan is 100 Mbps or higher, then AirPort Extreme would be a better match.

    If you are considering other routers from other manufacturers... we cannot comment at all on their performance without knowing the number of brand and model of the device you are considering.

  • Mini TiVo with airport express

    My question is about the tivo, the Airport express and the extreme of the AC.  have the romaio standard tivo in my room and the mini in the other room about 25 feet, with thick walls about 7 feet.  the mini is to cut the audio and the video of course.  If the research online, wanting to know the best solution.  If the connections are such:

    1st room:

    Extremes of AP connected to the modem

    romaio connected by ethernet to AP extreme

    2nd room:

    AP express connected by ethernet to tivo mini

    Deck AP express under the name "extended" to the extreme

    bridge over the 2.4 ghz network

    so the question is whether to 'extend' or 'join' the network?

    or the other bridge then on the 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz?

    all the details, let me know

    There is no significant difference.

    so the question is whether to 'extend' or 'join' the network?

    or the other bridge then on the 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz?

    The question is fair level of signal and bandwidth.

    It is difficult to get the numbers now, as the utility v6 airport is no longer a toy only utility is to say a tool. As the use of a hammer plastic actually hammer in nails.

    Try to get the speed of connection... in v6, you roll your pointer over the connection. As thus.

    I have two gen5 connected AE as extend wireless... It did not work with long connection so I moved to the extreme a few feet from the other device. They are now about 4' apart.

    The connection now shows 195 MB/s, but you need to playback during the actual file transfer. It will go down considerably the work.

    If you can get a machine more old computer or windows and install the utility 5.6 you will get much more information.

    Links are not the same from one end to... Although here, it works fine. As I had before that connection showed ok one end but much poorer on the other... This info is now impossible to obtain in utility v6.

    25 ft away, with thick walls about 7 feet.

    I'm sure that the walls are 7 thick inches rather than 7feet.

    But everything depends on the construction and the number of walls.

    Light framing lumber and Sheetrock (rockboard?) have fairly low resistance wireless.

    Brick or concrete walls have a lot of resistance wireless... you must use ethernet or adapters EOP.

  • When is Airport Express available in 802.11ac?

    I think of buying an Airport Express Terminal as an Extender for my network with an Airport Extreme base station.  No one knows when or if the Express will be available in 802.11ac format?  In addition, the benefits or drawbacks to the use of the Airport Express as an Extender?

    No one knows when or if the Express will be available in 802.11ac format?

    A forum to support users... we're all users... just like you.  Unfortunately, no one here will have any idea what a company notoriously secret like Apple could do, or when they could do.

    The only people who know anything about are at Apple, and they do not say.

    To the extent where using the Express as an Extender linking to the main router of the airport by using a wireless connection...

    Upside... more signals range

    Downside... loss of about half of the potential speed on the network

  • 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.

  • AirPort Express works fine with OSx but not Windows

    Bought my AirPort Express 802.11n just a few months.

    It worked very well for all computers and mobile devices in my house.

    A few days ago, all of a sudden, PCs of my roommates started to get 'internet slow, yet shows the power of the full signal. Note that my Macbook Pro has no problems. A PC in my room has also no problem using Ethernet.

    My MBP is about 5 meters from the router with a door between the two. PCs of my roommates are about 8 to 10 meters from the router. I brought my MBP in their room and always get the same usual speed, I got in my room.

    Please notify. Really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

    The AirPort Express sends the same WiFi signal to all devices.  If computers have connection problems, it's a number PC... not an AirPort Express station.  I don't think there's a lot of guys here on an Apple forum PC... but it is possible that we could see your message and comment.

    In the meantime, you might want to try to restart the AirPort Express, restart the PC and overlooking this support document

  • How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?

    I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!

    Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).

    I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)

    An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.

    In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.

    Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.

    One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.

    But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.

    You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".

    The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

  • Airport Express has stopped working

    I've had my Express for about 8 years now and it has continued to become slower and slower for a wireless internet connection. I tested the speed with a speed test wireless online and on-line decision-making. Direct I get around 50MBPS and through the Express, I received only around 10 Mbps. I did this test a few days ago! Yesterday my Mac couldn't even recognize it even if the light on the Express was green. It of time for a new wireless router, or is there something I can do to solve the problem?

    Older versions of the AirPort Express had a useful life expectancy, on average, about 3-4 years.  5 years of use was much better than the average, so if you're 8 years old, you should Pat yourself on the back for your very good luck and reward yourself with a new router.

    If you want to keep the old Express, so about all you can do is reset to default values and then put in place again to see if that would help the Express perform a little longer.

    If you run an operating system recent on your MacBook Pro, like Lion, Lion mountain, Mavericks, Yosemite, etc., it is possible that AirPort on your Mac utility is even more supports the version of the Express you may have. To see if this could be a problem...

    Check to locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express Terminal. It is difficult to see, so you need to perhaps good lighting and reading glasses. The model number starts with an 'A' follow-up of four digits.  Post back with that info

    To check what operating system you use on your Mac...

    Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and post back with the Version of OS X number that you see there.
