Addition of AirPort Extreme allows a Local network behave strange

• Solve a problem by getting an Airport Extreme to join my network.

  Greetings,

  I have a WiFi network, consisting of a router TimeMachine (primary Base Station), the AirPort Extreme Base Station and expansion of the Airport Express network

  I receive notification messages for these devices utility AirPort (Enter Password) - probably updates lately.  I do not know the passwords for these devices because I've had them so long and after initial installation and many updates of OS X I couldn't find entries for them in Keychain Access.

  Today, I made an attempt to reset the Airport Extreme to try and go through the installation routine and have the opportunity to create a new password and save it.  First of all, I did a soft reset and then tried a hard reset.  The results were the same for either - one error as follows...  Airport Extreme fits factory currently.  It is plugged in and running with a light orange blinking.  She appears in the WiFi menu as a new Airport base station.  Selecting menu launches Airport utility and a dialog box drop-down connection.  The dialog box States "collecting information on your network - preparation, Joining Airport Extreme and finally"an unexpected error has occurred, try again"there is a very brief message (.5sec) before the last error - try again.»  In my view, that it is said 'Extreme Base Station on your network'.  This could mean that because the TimeMachine works as the main base station, the Airport Extreme Base cannot be joined so that I can Setup/modify it.

  Ultimately I'd like to get the issue resolved for all three devices password, but I'm a little gushy now after this attempt

  Someone has an idea how to proceed.

  Thanks Dave

  There are several things going on, but you can fix pretty quickly is the password. It is a piece of information that you should really have - now and for the future. You can reset your password by sticking the end of a paper clip in the back of the airport for more than ten seconds. You will see the configuration on the Airport utility screen. Do not forget your password in the future.  At the end of this operation, you can see a firmware view - to take care of that.

  Once your airport is reset, and the password is updated and updates, you can see if there are any problems - if any. If there are additional questions, you can include a photo of the Airport utility screen.

• Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

  I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

  You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

• Airport Extreme cannot get dhcp network

  Hello

  My main router connected to the internet and to act as a DHCP server, the extreme Apple router can join this network and get IP from the DHCP server normally, but all clients connected to Apple Extreme cable cannot get DHCP.

  I tested the same configuration but replace Apple Extreme by an Apple Express, the customer may obtain the DHCP when connect you cable.

  Anyone has an idea about this?

  Thank you

  Tuan

  My main router connected to the internet and to act as a DHCP server, the extreme Apple router can join this network and get IP from the DHCP server normally, but all clients connected to Apple Extreme cable cannot get DHCP.

  Unfortunately, it is because, unlike the AirPort Express, the extreme can serve as a wireless Ethernet bridge to provide wired clients with DHCP.

• 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?

• Airport Extreme is not able to join the network

  I'm trying to implement a repurposed Airport extreme in Bridge mode. Before, I was always able to use the "join the network" option, but now it only gives me the option to create, expand or inactive. I have a model a1521 (6th generation) that I have as my main router. I also have an express airport of old I have in Bridge mode. I am trying to add the a1143 (3rd generation) to the right network and put it in Bridge mode. Is intended to be used as a wireless print server until I can move my printer and the 6th gen at the same location. This option has been removed? am just missing something?

  

  Apple has removed the option "Register" for the AirPort Extreme (and Time Capsule) when it introduced version 6.x of the AirPort with Lion (10.7.3) utility about 3 years ago.

  If you have... or you can borrow for 15-20 minutes... a former Mac under Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with the utility AirPort for Windows installed on the device... you might be able to manually configure the old A1143 AirPort Extreme to 'join' the network using a version 5.x of AirPort Utility.

• Airport for Time Machine utility settings / Airport Extreme network

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my former Network Time Capsule, to extend my Wi - Fi. I have read many posts and checked different websites, but I'm just getting more and more confused.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5. What would my network settings in Airport utility to the Airport Extreme and time for a better return Capsule?

  How can I find out if the two grow Wi - Fi?

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my network of Time Capsule prior to extend my Wi - Fi

  I think we got it... and we understand. This tells us that you have added an AirPort Extreme to the core network to ensure the widest coverage Time Capsule wireless.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5.

  No, unfortunately, we do not have it.  This tells us that your AirPort Extreme is the main router and that you have added a time Capsule to provide wider coverage wireless for the AirPort Extreme network.

  Sorry, but we are confused. Which of your statements above is correct?

  AirPort Extreme extends to the Time Capsule network, or have you changed your network so that the Capsule extends the AirPort Extreme network?

  Could you please provide the serial number and the model of your DSL modem?

  What operating system you use on your Mac or PC?  If you have a Mac and you are not sure what operating system you have, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac.  Please post returns with the OS X Version you see here.

• How do you connect a (very) old Apple Airport Express to a new Airport Extreme network?

  For Bob Timmons:

  I have 2 old airport expresses, an old and one even older. The network home fled the old Express (connected to a modem), who abandons the connection several times a week. The older Express seems quite dead. What I want to do is to increase wifi coverage in my house (no wifi in the kitchen or the 3rd floor). I buy an Airport Extreme to manage the network, hoping that it would provide wireless coverage in my blind spots. Then I could use the former, Express work next to my stereo to listen to the music of my iMac.

  However: the new airport utility shows but does not interact with my work Express. If I buy one extreme and put in place, how I can add the Express network. I downloaded 5.6.1 (and launcher) Airport utility, but don't know if I can use 6.3.6 to implement extreme and 5.6.1 Configure Express.

  Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

  Sorry, I forgot to ask: even if the Airport 6.3.6 utility on the iMac refuses to 'see' the Express, would be the iPad method you mentioned work with an older Express?

  The model numbers of my expressed are:

  work: A1084

  a death: A1264

  Well, if A1264 is dead, it is the end of the discussion on this model.

  A1084... assuming it works... could probably be used for AirPlay, but the A1084 calls this AirTunes.

  The A1084 is at least 9 years old, probably older and the average useful life of an AirPort Express is about 3-4 years. It is amazing the A1084 to work at all, but school drop-outs you see now with the Express indicates that it is heading for the South, he may not be around much longer.

  If you want to try using the A1084 Express, it can be implemented and administered using an older version of AirPort 5.x on a Mac or a PC utility. No matter which version of AirPort 6.x...or.. utility. AirPort on an iPhone or iPad utility may NOT be compatible with the A1084 Express.

  If you are considering a new AirPort Extreme... and... or buy at Apple, so you have one day 14 return privilege on the product, if it will not do what you want, you can return it for credit or a return.  The older A1084 expected to collaborate with the new AirPort Extreme if you spot a version 5.x of AirPort on a Mac or a PC utility to configure the product.  But... saying "should work" is not the same thing as saying "work"... then it will be one of those moments where you won't know how well... or even if it will work until you try.

• Cannot set the Airport Extreme to extend the existing network

  Network WiFi of my holiday home is provided by the router from my ISP (Time Warner). I have an Airport Extreme, which used to be configured to provide the WiFi network to another well, and I would use it to extend the existing on the TWC router network.

  I had a lot of trouble to do a factory reset on the Airport Extreme, but I'm sure I managed (by turning on with the pressed reset button) after several attempts. At least the extreme doesn't show signs of the old network, he has provided.

  When I try to set it up in the Airport utility, he wants only to create a new network. If I click on 'Other Options' and select 'Add to an existing network', the next screen is titled "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and prompts to enter a new network name and password. (Specifying the name of the network current generates an error because the network already exists, as I expect for the creation of a new network.)

  Any ideas on how to tweak this Airport Extreme by extending a network?

  TIA,

  Doug

  P.S. I have reviewed plugging extreme in one of the TWC router EtherNet ports and create its own WiFi network (with the advantage of adding support for 5 GHz), but the last time I tried I lost all connectivity; I'm afraid that the ISP network might protect against too broad network, although the glitch may have been a coincidence. If anyone has experience/ideas on this alternative configuration, I might be willing to try again.

  AirPort Extreme would not be able to connect using a wireless connection and to extend the wireless network of the ISP, but if you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the ISP using a permanent router, wired Ethernet cable, then AirPort Extreme could be used to provide broader coverage of wireless in this way signal.

• How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

  Data sheet:

  Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

  Luma Surround Wifi 8

  I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

  I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

  I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

  Thanks for your time...

  Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

  In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

  • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
  • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
  • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

  To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• Why Airport Extreme disappeared from Airport utility, after adding to the mac feature?

  10.11 OS, with the version of the airport, 6.3.6.  I can see is no longer my Airport Extreme Airport utility after I activated to Mac. I have Airport Extreme base ME91899/A and two Airport Express units model A1392 bolt torque.  I set up the Airport Extreme unit and the network first.  I was able to see the Airport utility. I then added each airport express unit. They were also visible. Then I added back the ability of Mac to the Airport extreme unit, and now it is no longer visible in the Airport utility.  Why is this?

  Apple has problems much time with iCloud. Turn off Back to My Mac across your airport routers and then shut down and restart the entire network.

  We will have to wait for a fix from Apple.

• Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode?  What did I want?

  I'm AT & T Uverse with Gigapower.  Until today I had 2 networks in my home, the AT & T router then the one I created on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  The tech told me that I can implement the airport just mirror or fill the AT & T network.  In this way all devices in the House are on the same network.  In the past, there are times where someone has been connected on the AT & T network, but wanted to print to the printer WiFi, which stood on the Airport network.  We must also be on the Airport network in order to access the iTunes account via the Remote App.  Only, it would be easier if everything was on the same network, and we did not have to worry about switching.

  I want to use Airport Extreme to give us better coverage downstairs in the House.  The AT & T router is in a closet on the floor.  The signal is not large in some rooms on the ground floor.

  How to make the Airport Bill as a Repeater for the AT & T network?  What is this called bypass surgery?

  Thanks in advance for your help and your big brain.

  Adam

  Yes. Plug your Airport Extreme in a spare Ethernet port on the router AT & T. open Airport utility, click on the Airport Extreme, select Edit, select network and the router Mode value: Off (Bridge Mode) and update. Your Airport Extreme is now part of the AT & T network.

  p.s. You need to connect a cable Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet of the AT & T to the Airport Extreme router since they are in different places in the House.

• I need to connect my Captain el to my old station of Airport extreme use. I need to get the software to allow this connection

  I upgraded to El captain in my notebook.  Now my airport extreme base station did not get recognized for my connection to printers and the mini

  is there any software to install so I can get this laptop on the network?

  The software is available, but you need... or power borrow for 10-15 minutes... a former Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with the utility AirPort 5.6.1 for Windows installed on the device.

  Sometimes users ask to see if the software is available from another source. Software not allowed is available on the Internet, but it is written by an 'unknown' author to Apple, which will provide no. help or support if you have problems with your Mac. In addition, the installation of the software without permission will require that you change (lower) some of the security settings by default on your Mac.

  Apple will not post the link to the software on this forum, even if you are willing to assume the risks of trying to use it.

• Can I have 2 Airport Extreme with running in a single wired network DHCP server

  Hello friends,

  Just a teenager from the windows world crawling as a child in the MAC world.

  I'm curious to know if we can have 2 extreme airport, acting as 2 DHCP servers in the same local network. I really doubt if it is possible, but still want to have Advisor by experts. I am considering a wired LAN. If possible, please help me understand how this can be done in detail.

  Thank you.

  In fact, you can. The key is to assign different DHCP scopes for each base station in the same IP address space.

  For example, you could assign the range 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.99 to a base station and have the other on: 10.0.1.100 via 10.0.1.200.

  You set the DHCP scope or range using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • Select the network tab.
  • Select Network Options...
  • The range is set with the option "IPv4 DHCP Range".

  

  But the question would be why would you?
