• Airport Extreme doesn't let me change the wifi password

  While in the airport utility, I try to change my wifi password and I get "error when updating the configuration."

  There is also no list of what devices are connected to the wifi.

  And it lists the serial number...

  All these things were there yesterday, no downloads or updates between yesterday and today.  Full cycle restarts were made.

  The Setup is Cox as ISP, my modem (Arris Surfboard SB6183), AirPort Extreme 5th gen.

  MBP mid 2015, 10.10.5

  It seems that Cox is currently implementing a number of changes to their service having to do with IPv6 at the present time.  Cox users who have Apple routers have problems as a result of this, and... if we are using the correct information... Cox is telling users that airports are not compatible with the changes that have been made.  Here is an example of message that we saw today:

  Change default delegated prefix IPv6 in Airport Extreme with the Configuration automatic IPv6

  Cox suggests to reboot the router when a problem arises... that helps for some users, but not all.

  or

  Disable IPv6 on the router from the airport... What is not possible. Even if it were, Apple uses IPv6 settings to enable communication with other Apple devices on the network. You can disconnect IPv6 to the WAN port on the airport by changing parameters IPv6 link Local Only... that Cox makes no mention of.

  Now the possible Catch 22.  You must be able to enter the parameters of the AirPort Extreme to change the link Local only... and if you can not access the settings on the airport... things will be difficult.

  You are able to open AirPort Utility, click on the image of the AirPort Extreme and then click on change to display the settings... page with tabs for different areas... or... you get an error message until you can get the settings?

• Loading slow web page and with Airport Extreme connection speeds

  About 5 days ago, I noticed a significant slow down the loading of web pages. In some cases, I see a blank white screen for up to a minute before the page is loaded. In others, the page never loads at all. And sometimes they load very quickly as expected. This happens with my iMac that is connected to a router via ethernet, as well as my Macbook Air connected via Wifi to Airport Extreme.

  I have a high-speed internet connection by cable Comcast/Xfinity: Blast 250Mbps.

  I tried to connect my iMac directly on the model of cable (Arris Surfboard SB6183), and there is no problem. Download speed was 30Mbps 300Mbps and upload.

  Then, I plugged my Airport Extreme router again and connected the iMac to the router via Ethernet. Download speed dropped to 100 Mbps!

  This suggests that the problem may be with the Airport Express. It is not a wireless problem, because as you can see the download speed went from 300Mbp/s connected directly to the model 100 Mbps when connected to the Airport Extreme.

  How do I troubleshoot/fix this?

  One last thing: I did a speed test with my Macbook Air that is connected via Wifi and the Airport Extreme router. Download speed dropped to 35 MB/s.

  Direct connection to the modem is so very fast, suggesting the internet connection Comcast isn't the issue. Speed falls even with ethernet to the Airport Extreme router connection, then decreases even more with the Wifi connection.

• Updated AirPort Extreme?

  I have a 5th generation AirPort Extreme purchased in 2011.  We have 2 iMacs, 5 iPhones, 4 iPads, 3 Rokus and 1 PC on the wireless network. Most of the devices have ac 802.11.  We have Fios for Internet with 50 / 50 Mbps.  Upgrade to the 6th generation AirPort Extreme offer any wifi speed will increase or is the Fios speed limiter?

  The upgrade wouldn't matter because the current model is not faster than the one you have.

  Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

  Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

  If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

  I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.

• Airport Extreme and Broadband Modem/Router

  I have my Airport Extreme (5th generation) plugged into a Broadband Modem/Router combo. I would like to have both able to use their wireless capabilities. The Airport Extreme has been previously connected to a Modem broadband all my IP addresses came by Airport Extreme (192.168.2. *). With the New Modem/Router combo broadband, it uses 10.0.0 * so I would be able to use Airport Extreme to add the 192.168.2. * While having the 10.0.0. * the Broadband Modem/Router combo.

  Is this possible and, if so, how do I configure Airport Extreme to do?

  Normally, you don't want two devices on the same network as the two try to act as routers to the same network. Which will produce conflicts of IP addresses... which can possibly be addressed... and a Double NAT problem, which cannot.

  The Double NAT error can cause a number of unpredictable issues... things like the problems of communication between the devices on the network, slow navigation... or, not navigation in the case of certain websites, Internet access slower, to name a few.

  Yes, some users may get away with a Double NAT on a single home network, but unnecessarily complicating things over a network is normally something you want to avoid.

  We do not recommend it, but if you really want AirPort Extreme for use range 192.168.2.x however, you can easily make this change using AirPort Utility. If you are not sure how to do this and need help, then we will need to know which version of AirPort utility you are using.

  To find, open AirPort Utility, and then click the menu of AirPort Utility in the far left of the screen corner. Click on about AirPort Utility to see what version you have and post back with that info.

• PC does not connect to AirPort Extreme

  I have a windows 7 dell latitude D600 that connects to wireless very well. I think that the wireless card is like b/g/n.

  I have an Airport Extreme 6th Gen AC that sends wifi very well to everything I own.

  The PC sees the network, I click on it and enter the password, he thinks for a while and fails!

  I have studied this problem and it is not the PC, I think it is the most convenient airport.

  Thank you

  If you take a look at the plug of the D600, you will see that it is Wireless 'b' which forces the old WEP security settings.

  http://www.CNET.com/products/Dell-Latitude-D600/specs/

  Unfortunately, the new routers WEP abandoned airport about 3-4 years ago because it is so safe and easily cracked with some free tools available on the Internet.

  A test, turn off security on the AirPort Base Station wireless and see if the Dell can connect in this way. If he can... then you know that the Dell is not compatible with the highest levels of security that use airports and other newer routers.

  Do not recommend that you do this, but you can try to lower the security on the airport to WPA/WPA2...but I don't know if the Dell will connect this way or not.  It won't if it is limited to WEP security levels.

  Better to keep safety at the recommended levels and try a USB wireless adapter to see if it works with the Dell printer.

• the Airport extreme, giving a slow wifi connection

  Hello

  I've got my download speed of 200 Mbps cable company. I checked a good signal by plugging directly in he back of the Modem (to remove the photo Airport extreme wifi.) ... I have 221Mbps actually...

  However, once I'm going to plug in the Airport Extreme and text my speed on wifi, I get only between 24 Mbps or max after several trials of 54 Mbps on download... I should get just under 200 Mbit/s because of the normal fall through wifi... However, not to the extreme I loss I get...

  Tuesday Apple Support has helped me to perform a reboot of the router and I have been good to get 198Mbps... It is here 2 days later and I'm back down to 24 Mbps...

  I tried to redo the reboot: unplug the unit, hold down the reset button, then while holding down the reset button, add power on and continue now stuck until it flashes yellow... But curiously, after it flashes it goes straight to the green... (never asking me to airport utility to add a password)

  My Wifi speed stink...

  What continues with this device... anyone have recommendations?

  I already proved the cable line and the modem (with the support of motorola)...

  Thank you

  Most likely you have a faulty AirPort Extreme. Please ask Apple to replace this unit for you.

  If you wish to renew a reset, follow the instructions very carefully:

  Turning off AirPort Extreme

  Wait 7 - 8 seconds

  Hold the first reset button... and hold in an additional 7 to 8 seconds while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.

  Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention

  Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart. The light will be Orange fixed for 15-20 seconds about, then turn to flashing orange slowly after about 30 seconds

  A slow amber flashing light... about once per second... confirms that the airport has been reset and you can set it up again.

• Problems with COX Gigablast fiber Airport extreme WiFi

  I recently installed internet service from COX Gigablast fiber and chose to stay with my AirPort Extreme wireless routers (2), rather than use the Netgear router which they provided.  I didn't think anything of it, because technology that makes my installation said "we get the same speed with the Airport Extreme, as we do the Netgear... ", so I don't think much.  During installation I was getting 950Mbps the two download and upload via hard cable connection and 300-400Mbps over a wireless connection.  Over the next day, I noticed that Netflix was serving an image low resolution for TV, as if it was on a wifi network limited.  After speed tests at Speedtest.net, the wired connection speed was very erratic and the WiFi had dropped to ~ 30Mbps.  I reset the Airport extreme routers, but in vain.

  I had a COX tech come out and he said that AirPort Extreme should have IPV6 'turned off '.  This seems to have fixed the instability of the wired connection.

  Wireless, however, is always obismal!  Has anyone experience this problem?  If so, I'd appreciate it really any resolution.  The COX Tech told me that they informed Apple that they have a bug with the Airport Extreme, when it is used with their service Gigablast, and that "after the problem Apple's repeated refusals, they had just been Apple that was with AirPort Extreme and not with COX."  He also told me that I was myself because they guarantee the speed of connection of line lasts, "because there are too many variables when it comes to WiFi signal."

  Any input would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

  Thanks for this post!  And for being the Guinea pig on this issue.

  Just, I, too, had installed Gigablast and uses the supplied Netgear router.  I just bought a new AirPort Extreme to manage the speed of concert and wondered whether to execute directly on the modem fiber or hard wire off the Netgear router.

  Hope someone at Apple can solve this problem quickly.

• 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 A1408 (5th generation) low flow on both WiFi and wired

  Hi all

  I have an extreme A1408 Airport (5th generation), which is connected to the internet via a cable UTP (wall plug, the internet provider has its routers in the basement of the apartment building). My plan is to 1000 / 200 MB (down / up - Romanian RCS & RDS, Fib), however, I'm getting averages of 90 / 80 MB speeds on speedtest.net. The best I've ever had was about 180 / 200 Mbps, but that happened once.

  The low speed produce on both WiFi and wired (I have an iMac, a MBP, a 6s iPhone and an iPad Mini that connect through WiFi, on the 5 GHz network and a Mac Mini that is connected to the router), with my wireless devices to full signal strength and connection to 450 Mbps. Since low speeds correspond to the cable wire / WiFi (I expected to the Mac mini to outdo the other, since its on gigabit ethernet), this is not a discussion on how to choose the best channel (I tried auto or manual installation, with it on different channels) or change its placement (this corresponds with the MBP even right next to the router) to get the best reception.

  I tested the connection directly paste the cable in the MBP (via the adapter ethernet of love at first sight) and got 850 / 200 Mbps, then my provider connection works as expected.

  I also changed all cables UTP CAT 5, in order to support gigabit speeds to.

  My AirPort Extreme is on firmware 7.6.4, set up as follows:

  • PPPoE: always on
  • IPv6: link-local
  • Wireless:
    • WPA2 Personal (faster)
    • No network comments
    • the radio 802 mode value. 11A / n - 802.11b/g/n (self)
    • country of Romania
    • tried auto and manual selection of channels 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz (by analyzing other autour networks)
  • Router mode: DHCP and NAT (NAT Port Mapping Protocol active)

  All iDevices I use are updated to their latest version of the OS.

  Is there something that I am missing? Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance for your time!

  Most likely the problem you see is that Apple has not designed the more practical to work with fiber Internet airport base stations. Although, the 5th generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme can manage, at best, 400 - 500 Mbps of throughput (in bridged mode) via its WAN - LAN interface, you will see about half of this when it is enabled as a router (as yours is.) In addition, if your ISP has their router activated ahead of yours, you can also receive a "Double NAT" error as well.

• Airport Extreme dislike gigabit speed

  I'm having a strange problem. Backstory... I have an older Ooma VoIP device. It works very well.  The connection is Modem > Ooma > router - my modem (ARRIS Surfboard SB6141) and I use Airport Extreme. When the devices are connected as indicated everything works fine. The modem has a 'connection' light which is orange with this configuration. According to the manual of the modem, this light indicates Ethernet (10Base-T) or Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) is running.  When I remove the Ooma system and connect the modem directly to the router, the yellow led lights up blue saying that the signal that the modem sends is now a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T).  Sounds great, but my router then ceases to broadcast and distribute a signal, directly and without wire connected with a cat6 cable.

  You could say, then leave him alone and I can do, but I'm willing to reconfigure my system with updated Ooma device, and causes my modem from orange to blue, thus losing my Wi - Fi.  I talked to Arris (modem does not work as expected), I talked to Ooma (if the signal is working on their device, they see not the problem). So that the leaves of the router.  Can anyone figure out what's going on? Why did I lose my signal when I go directly from the modem to the router when the speed seems to be better?  (Yes, I restart both modem and router in the right order).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  David

  It seems that your Ooma device only supports (up to) 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. On the other hand, does your AirPort Extreme support 1 Gbps Ethernet.

  The reason why you can be make connectivity issues when connecting your Arris modem to an extreme that is there has been many positions related to this. Specifically and the problem of incompatibility between the SB61XX series modems and airport base stations. This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical complaints is poor, transfer rate, and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. Replace the Arris modem with another modem series of non-SB61XX. If you plan to go this route, you must select a modem recommended by your ISP.
  2. Replace your extreme with a non-Apple router.

• 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!

• Why is my slower than wifi ethernet download speed when using the airport extreme?

  Hi all

  This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I currently own stunted 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch and an extreme A1521 from the airport. My ISP has promised 50Mbps downloading and sending 10 Mbps. When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised. When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok. However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?

  If you check the 'fine print', your ISP has promised "up to" 50 Mbit/s and 'up to' 10Mbps.  The ISP might provide more than that during periods of slow activity, like the days of the week during the day, but much less during evenings when there are many more users on the Internet.

  When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised

  I assume that you meant to check the Ethernet connection, you disable WiFi on Mac when you do this. And unplug the Ethernet cable when you check the speed of the WiFi, correct?

  If so, this tells you that the Ethernet port to both the modem and the Mac work properly, and WiFi work correctly as well.

  When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok.

  If this tells you that the Ethernet connection between the modem and the AirPort Extreme works correctly, and wireless works fine on the AirPort Extreme.

  However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps.

  Well, you know that the Ethernet connection between the modem and AirPort Extreme works because you can register 48 Mbps Wireless.

  Thus, the possibilities are narrowed to two elements at this stage:

  (1) the Ethernet cable is defective or making intermittent contact. Try another Ethernet cable, to ensure.

  (2) If you have turned off AirPort Extreme and rebooted several times, and you know that the cable between the Mac and AirPort Extreme works properly, then you have reduced the question down to the Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme, which is probably defective switch.

  If you have not already done so, try other ports Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.

  As a last resort, perform a reset material on AirPort Extreme and put up again. To perform the Hard Reset... power on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold it pushed in the reset button on the back of the unit (near the AC power plug) for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart orange light flashing slow.

  I once went through two consecutive airport extremes with the same question about 8 months ago, so it can happen.

  If you're still having problems, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme of Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly by clicking on 'Contact the Support' in the upper right area of this web page.

  Good luck!
