• Airport Extreme 5th Gen link speeds

  Does anyone know how to set the connection on the Airport Extreme router speeds (5th Gen don't box not turn)?

  I noticed that I get only a speed of 100 Mbps LAN link when it is connected via the LAN port.  I'm not concerned with the WAN port, as I already have superior to my bandwidth plan.  It is only to the local network only, because I intend to deploy a server and want faster transfer speeds in my house.

  I looked at the specs and the 5th generation has a 1 Gbps WAN + 3 Gbps LAN ports and the cable I use is estimated at 10 Gbps.

  Out of all my Macs including Wireless AC capacity up to 450 Mbps speeds, I have a Windows computer that is specifically for the game and uses a built in 10/100/1000 Intel NETWORK card.  Last night I noticed that my connection speed has been negotiated by auto to 100 Mbps, so I changed it to 1000 Mbps, it did not and refused to talk to the router.

  I have an Xbox One using a second LAN port and I wonder if the AirPort Extreme affects all ports LAN of the lowest common denominator.

  My WAN connection is connected to a modem DLink DCM301 instead of the ARRIS modem which does not work well with Macs.

  I have a 35' cable going to the Xbox and a 50' cable going to the PC in case you want to know.

  I wonder if the AirPort Extreme sets all LAN ports the lowest common denominator.

  No, it isn't.

  IF you have access to an older version 5.x of AirPort Utility and

  IF you have airport configured as a router... not a bridge

  THEN... You can adjust the parameters of the WAN port and speeds.  No controls for the LAN ports.

  

• 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.

• 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?

• External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

  Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

  Framework

  -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

  -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

  -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

  -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

  -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

  Problem

  -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

  -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

  -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  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 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.

• Can I connect wireless and wired to the Airport Extreme even? My House has plaster walls that inhibit the signal and I move to my office.

  I have a good Wi - fi network at home using an Airport Extreme and Airport Express, but am moving my office on the other side of the House. The walls are plaster that inhibit the signal. Can I connect another Express to my extreme via an Ethernet cable for the office. I still maintain the wireless network. Thanks for your help.

  Yes, it's the right way to do things.

  Only the express will not extend the wireless... you create a wireless network of the same name and security settings... This is called roaming network.

• Purchase of 3rd Apple Airport Extreme Base Station

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

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

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

  Wired connection that's not a separate Ethernet cable.

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

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

  My Dell Precision Tower 5810

  My Canon imageCLASS MF6160dw (all-in-one)

  Printer color of my Epson Stylus Pro WF-5190

  (Suite after screenshot)

  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  I think I'm really on 100 Mbps service.

  QUESTIONS :

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

  Just as "extend" the 3rd AE?

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

  Other recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

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

  Just as "extend" the 3rd AE?

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

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

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

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

• AirPort Extreme: extend only 5 GHz network

  I have a Time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) set up to expand my WiFi network at our show in the stairs.

  The WiFi hotspot, upstairs in my office, is an Airport Extreme 802.11n (5th generation).

  Attached to my TV Sony is a transmitter Brightech DoublePlay HD Bluetooth 4.0, running on the band 2.4 GHz effects seriously communications on my WiFi network (demonstrated unequivocally by the device to the USB port on the TV).

  If I can force time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) in my living room to expand the WiFi network exclusively on the 5 GHz band.

  I named the Base Station Airport Extreme 802.11n 5 GHz network (5th generation) and have set up time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) in my living room to expand the 5 GHZ network named (not WiFi Dual Band network) but me uncertain whether time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) in my living room is locked on the band of 5 GHz. is there a way to check this.

  Appreciate your help, any...

  WiFi performance was dreadful while listening to the sound of movie via Bluetooth head sets, take several hours to be ready to play a movie in iTunes or play will stall and plans several hours to be ready to resume.  If I can lock the time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) in my living room on the network of WiFi 5 GHz, I think I'll have the trouble of sorting.

  

  

  If I can force time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) in my living room to expand the WiFi network exclusively on the 5 GHz band.

  Sorry, but no. When you extend an Apple base station, two radio stations are extended.

• Airport Extreme + Express + older Express audio dropouts

  My setup is as follows:

  Coaxial cable-operator-> cable modem provider-> Airport Extreme via Cat5e

  Express #1 a few feet away, analog stereo output, extreme network expansion

  #2 2 parts away, similar stereo out, Express extreme network extension

  2014 Macbook pro, Yosemite

  When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable. For example, the macbook is right next to the Express #2, streaming internet radio and play through internal speakers. When I send also the audio to Express #2 (multiple speakers in itunes), which express audio stream is sporadic, although the internal speakers turned on constantly. I would have thought dropouts would leave as the macbook approached #2, but there is virtually no change.

  If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2? Possible Express #2 is working to expand the network ok but does not just for airplay? It is a first or second generation.

  Thank you!

  What are the exact models of each of your airport base stations?

  When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable.

  The main path that AirPlay takes when streaming to your configuration is:

  • Starting from the host of iTunes MacBook to AirPort Extreme.
  • Extreme for:
    • Express #1 if this Express is chosen as the "speaker" AirPlay, or
    • #2 has been chosen as speaker, express or
    • At the time, if the two were chosen as speaker.

  Thus, it is possible that the path includes several obstacles (walls) for AirPlay to go.

  If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2?

  AirPlay, in theory, go first to the base station that iTunes host is connected to.

  When you extend, you lose a significant amount of bandwidth just to keep the network wireless in this configuration. So the question is: do you really need to expand your network or continuously more important for you?

• Airport Extreme - poor score from Consumer Reports

  In the notes of June 2016 of routers by Consumer Reports, the Apple Airport Extreme was ranked 7th of 14 rated routers.

  Linksys (EA8500) AC260 ranked 1st with an overall Score of 89

  The Apple Airport Extreme ME918LL/A 7th place with an overall score of only 67 & wasn't 1 of 4 routers "recommended" by Consumer Reports.

  I have currently 2 5th generation Apple Airport extreme with the 2nd 1 put in place as an 'extension' of the 1st (hard wired).

  Am currently in the market for an Apple Airport Extreme 3rd - also to be used as an 'extension' of the 1st (also to be wired).

  I had years of service with my current 2 extremes without any major problems.

  But, I must say, this weak side causes me to rethink the purchase of one 3rd extreme.

  In addition to an Apple 6 more belonging to both myself and my wife and one old iPad 3 belonging to my wife, I don't have any other products Apple.  I use Dell computers & have never owned a Mac.

  The qUESTIONs ARE:

  Should I worry about buying the new Apple Airport Extreme Base Station?

  The Appreciation of Linksys #1 is $60 more ($240) that extreme already expensive ($180).

  Is - it's worth the extra $$$?

  Different brands of routers can be 'mixed' and used as in "extensions" of a 5th generation Apple Airport Extreme Base Station?

  Should I worry about buying the new Apple Airport Extreme Base Station?

  Perhaps.  The current product was introduced more than 3 years ago, and Apple did not of any material changes since that time. Because it usually takes about a year to develop a new product, the technology in the "current" AirPort Extreme is probably 4 years old.

  Your next question might be... Apple plans to introduce new models soon?  The answer is that we do not know.

  The Appreciation of Linksys #1 is $60 more ($240) that extreme already expensive ($180).

  Is - it's worth the extra $$$?

  I have not used this model, but another user might have a few comments.

  Different brands of routers can be 'mixed' and used as in "extensions" of a 5th generation Apple Airport Extreme Base Station?

  Yes and no.

  Yes, if the routers are only connected together using a connection wired Ethernet cable.

  Not in general, if you ask to have different brands "extend" the signal of wireless connection to other brands

• AirPort Extreme AirPort Extreme extension causes a loss of the internet

  I extend an existing AirPort Extreme of 5th generation (a year or so old) with a new one. When I connect a new one for the network and power, airport utility sees the two airports and asks me if I want to extend the existing one. I clicked on extend and every thing seems to be well - within the parameters, he said that the new airport will extend the existing wireless network. Unfortunately this seemed to cause my modem to lose its connection to the Internet. I have reset the modem a few times, but it wasn't until I disconnected and "forgot" to the new base station that I was able to retrieve internet. Previously, I had an airport model more old where I was trying to find a new one, but it had its own wireless network, which is kind of a pain. I would really like to have just a single network for both airports.  Is this possible or do I. To keep them separate?

  Thank you for any help or advice.

  If you spread by wireless, you can't have the extreme new plugged in by ethernet.

  If you do not want to extend wired you don't use wireless extension... you use create a wireless network with the same SSID (name Apple Wireless speaks) and the same password.

  Please give us more information.

  What is the brand and model of the main modem?

  Is this also a router? How the most extreme main airport is connected to the network?

  This mode is in there... router or gateway?

  Please take a few screenshots of the existing configuration using airport utility to show how the current airport is the installation program. We can then tell you the right way to connect the new airport.

  Just to be clear is the New Extreme a nine Gen6... or you want to say you have an another Gen5. The Gen6 is now more than 3 years on the market... No gen5 were therefore sold for 3 years.

  Are mix you models?

• Addition of AirPort Extreme allows a Local network behave strange

  Hello

  At the moment is have this setup at home.

  DSL-> provider Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule

  The airport Time Capsule is the generation model current 5th A1470 of running in mode Bridge with the router form my provider and implements a wireless network. It all works very well, but in my office working there WiFi coverage is a little low is a desire to grow with another airport.

  This is the configuration of the construction:

  DSL-provider of Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule-> LAN-> Airport Extreme >

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in Bridge Mode and extend the wireless network. When I perform this configuration, the problems start. All devices bad connection to the internet, features are added several times on the network (also the Airport express are added some time because it appears with a (2) after East), in Airport utility, I get constantly disconnected status and it is very difficult to resolve, because I lose the connection even if I'm hard wired to the airport. I can also access devices that have a static IP address as the same router (192.168.1.1) or my home server. Thus, it seems that my local network is malfunctioning.

  When I unplug the Airport Extreme, everything works well again. I searched but not found this problem.

  Thanks for the help.

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in bridge and extend wireless networkMode.

  You can NOT extend wireless with the AE plugged into the TC.

  Your choice of plug in ethernet is good.

  Your wireless installation must be to create a wireless network... you can use the same name as the TC's wireless or different... It is totally up to you.

  What you did is due to a loop with the connection by both wireless and ethernet.

  If you want to use extend wireless... much slower option... then you disconnect the ethernet AE of the TC... If the connection is purely wireless.

• AirPort Extreme can disappear from the network

  

  

  I have an airport Time Capsule 802.11ac 3 TB, implemented as my router, connected to a cable modem Comcast.  I also three units AirPort Extreme 802.11ac connected via an Ethernet cable and configure in Bridge mode.  The settings were all made with Apple AirPort Utility, using the default settings.  All devices are new, and have the latest version of the (7.7.7) package.

  My problem is that one of the SSA keeps disappearing from the network.  The AP utility shows all devices, but unity of the 'room' is still "missing in your network.  When I restart the device by unplugging the, the unit seems to work fine for a little while.

  Because the problem occurs on a unit, I think not that it is a question of ISP or OS.

  Has anyone else had a problem like this, and understand you?

  It is not uncommon.

  There is a real problem with apple DNS...

  What modem do you use?

  Actual spending brand and model please... It is probably not related, but it is useful to know the complete network configuration.

  Question I would like to change.

  1. your names are too long and contain spaces.

  Use any short names, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters. Names must be less than 10 characters... all names... both network name.

  See Pondini for questions that arise with more long names... and that was before Apple changed network SMB.

  http://pondini.org/TM/C9.html

  2. the WAN port on the AC model TC and AE are not reliable.

  In bridge, what do you do better move the connection to one of the LAN ports...!

  3. you have an unreliable ethernet cord or if it is installed in the wall a bad Jack which is down to... This happens especially in that self installed ethernet... and even the ordinary electrician has problems... sometimes wrongly wired a pair of broken. You should test all ethernet correctly and make sure have full gigabit connections.

  4. use static IP via both a dhcp on the TC and AE reservation jumpered on the internet tab. Least IP moves the less work THAT DNS must do to stay.

  If you have still questions after.

• 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.
