• Extending Airport Extreme 802.11ac with older Airport Extreme 802.11n

  I need to extend the coverage of my wifi and I have an a 802.11ac AE and two former, 802.11n AE units and all are still functional.  Specifically, can the newest Airport Extreme 802.11ac extended by an older Airport Extreme 802.11n if it is connected by ethernet cable?  If it can be done, what setting (bridge mode or extend the network mode) should be used on the 802.11ac model?  Any other need to know the tips would be greatly appreciated as well.  Thank you...

  can the newest Airport Extreme 802.11ac be extended by an older Airport Extreme 802.11n if it is connected by ethernet cable?

  Yes, it's can... goal that the wireless "ac" will not be extended, of course. Here, I assume you think 802.11ac airport your 'main' airport and airport 802.11n as the airport of their extension.

  which parameter (bridge mode or extend the network mode) should be used on the 802.11ac model?

  You would not change the settings on the 802.11ac airport

  Reset an 802.11n AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings

  Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the three ports on the airport of 802.11ac for WAN "O" from the airport on the AirPort Extreme 802.11n which extend the LAN network<-->

  Configuration to use Apple "Assistant" to put in place the AirPort Extreme 802.11n and it will feature the correct Assembly for you.  Everything you really need to do is assign a name that you want to call the airport and "Wizard" will take care of everything else.

• My old Airport Extreme 802.11n will work well with my new Time Capsule 802.11ac airport?

  I got a new 802.11ac 3 TB time capsule and I would use my Airport Extreme 802.11n as an Extender but I fear that 802.11n is too old technology.

  No, it will be fine. I have the same setup on my network. Whenever I update my AirPort Extreme, I use the 'old' to expand the network throughout the House.

  I hope that answers your question.

• Airport Extreme 802.1N is compatible with the model of iMac 21.5 "2015

  I have Airport Extreme 802.1N 3rd generation.  Is it compatible with the new 21.5 "iMac 2015 model

  Yes, it is, but it will not be able to provide a higher speed "ac" wireless to iMac.

• Cannot connect new wireless J4680 to Airport Extreme 802.11n

  1. I first tried hold as usual several times.  The installation wizard is not 'see' my wireless.  Tried to reset wireless from the camera, without result.

  2 follow the steps as shown in the video 'YouTube' of HP.  Was once able to proceed to the point to get at least a "Page of Network Configuration" report printed which indicates success in adjustment in "ad hoc" on its network "hpsetup" mode, but then can not pass the airport network in infrastructure mode, input on the webpage of embedded devices.  (But now I know at least IP address theJ4680.)

  3. usually not found "hpsetup" automatically listed as a network on the airport.  Can sometimes become there by configuring manually via the J4680.  But this method will not always work.

  4. based on a different view (a person using Windows, Fios), tried to temp - disable my security at airports (a WPA2 Personal), but who have no positive effect.

  5 J4680.  Airport Extreme 802.11.  Mac OS 10.5.6.  No firewall that might interfere.  My MacBook is the only device on my Airport network.

  What else should I try?  Thanks in advance for any other tips/techniques that y ' All can provide.

  It works! It works! It works!

  Basically, I had to wait for the weekend to go home, so when I did, decided to just approach it all completely 'clean ':

  1. uninstalled the J4680 driver-->

  2 do you have a factory reset on the Airport Express-->

  3. configured reset Airport Express-->

  4 reinstalled the J4680 driver, using one that I had downloaded earlier (instead of the Conference on Disarmament) to make sure that I got the version the most recent-->

  5 turned on/turned off everything (to reset): MacBook, modem, router, printer-->

  6. then simply followed the implementation of HP guests-->

  It works! It works! It works!

  Thanks for your help and to hang in there, Jim.  (... A little anticlimatic.)

• Do a factory reset on my AirPort Extreme 802.11n resets my country code?

  Do a factory reset on my AirPort Extreme 802.11n resets my country code?

  Wireless Diagnostics warns on codes of countries in conflict.

  I ve got an AirPort Express 802.11n and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n

  The country code of the Airport Express is ok, but Airport Extreme shows me different options.

  Any suggestions?

  Please

  A factory default reset will set the area code of the AirPort Extreme back to the initial setting that it was when it was new, but this should not be necessary because you can change the country setting without having to perform a factory default reset.

  You can see the options available for your AirPort Extreme by opening AirPort Utility, by clicking on the image of the AirPort Extreme, and then click Edit in the window that appears.

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the window, and then click Wireless Options near the bottom of the window. Click on the country selection box to see the options available for your AirPort Extreme country.

  

  Apple is doing to "regionalize" airport routers, so, for example, that if you bought the AirPort Extreme in the AirPort Express to the United States and Europe, the country on the extreme options will only show of European countries, so that the country on the version options American Express shows countries in the Western hemisphere.

• Airport Express &amp; 802.11ac?

  When is Apple going to Airport Express 802.11ac?

  Apple only knows. We are not common to Apple's plans.

  We all know when Apple made an announcement.

• Airport Extreme 802. 11 b / g compatible mode does not work

  Have a strange problem occurred recently on my home network. Here's what I have.

  (1) Macbook Pro retina 2014 running 10.9.5 (must be this older OS for DAW/music applications)

  (2) Macbook Pro 2009 10.11.1 running

  (3) airport Extreme Base Station of 2nd generation

  (4) Airport Express A1264 (1st gen N) compatible

  (5) iPhone 4 s. IOS9.2.1

  (6) iPad 2 8.4

  (7) modem Netgear cable connected to Comcast

  I have my Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n value (802. 11 b / g compatible) and the Airport Express to extend the wireless network. Appliances mentioned above connects to the Station Base or Airport Express, according to what it is without any problems, except for my Macbook Pro of the retina's nearest.

  It was not used to be a problem for the retina to connect to the network, it used to work every time but for some reason any in the past months, it is almost impossible to get the retina to connect to the network. At this point, the Base Station is less than 10 feet away from the retina and has a direct line of sight to it but the only way I can get to connect is by organizing the retina upward in the air on a dark corner and hope that it connects. As soon as I put it down again, the connection disappears.

  What is strange is however if I go to the utility Airport and change options on the Base Station to one of the other 3 options, only 802.11n wireless (2.4 ghz), compatible with 802. 11A or 802.11n only (5 ghz) and restart the retina connects very well. The problem is my iPhone will not see and network, so I can't leave on any of these other 3 options I need my phone connected to use Skype etc. (virtually no cellular reception where I live).

  It is a hardware problem at the level of the retina, something to do with the wireless antenna, or is IT a case of I need more recent material from the Base Station, a newer model that has more options?

  I tried following the instructions from another post here remove all the com.apple.airport.preferences.plist etc etc files in the Library/preferences/systemconfiguration folder on the retina and reboot in order to restore the plist files but it does nothing.

  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions that anyone has to offer.

  What stands out in your description is your AirPort Extreme 2nd generation base station. The typical lifecycle of networking hardware is Apple products around 5 years are in this group. The 2nd generation extreme was released in 2007 and stopped in March 2009... so yours is at less than 7 years.

  That said, I guess that your Extreme is to his "last breath" and I do not consider it to be reliable in the future. You're already thinking that maybe this is the reason, and I second that opinion. Maybe it's time to replace it instead of making any additional unnecessary troubleshooting.

• How can I know what kind of AirPort Extreme I have?

  I got a 2T HD connected to my AirPort Extreme to use as a Time Machine backup - the HD 2 t was too small for my home network, so I've upgraded to a hard drive of 6 t.  Now I can't connect to my drive 6 t of Time Machine to back up.  I read a support link that says the time machine backup only works with a model AirPort Extreme 802.11ac only.  How can I find out what kind of AirPort Extreme I have.  If my AirPort Extreme is "outdated" upgrade to the 802.11ac will allow me to use my HD external 6 t?

  On your Mac...

  Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Hold down the option on your Mac so you double-click on the image of the AirPort router

  Search for information at the top of the Summary Page on the model you have

• Airport Extreme cannot connect to 1000base t

  Description:

  Hi all.  My ISP is Cox Communications in the South of Louisiana.  I am currently subscribed to get 200 Mbps download speed.  I have an Arris Surfboard 6190 cable Modem.  Ethernet is connected to an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11ac, who then goes to my iMac (2011) as a high school Apple Airport Extreme 802.11ac (network extension).

  The problem.  Modem guard fall signal forcing me to reset the modem about 3 times / day.  Level 2 of Cox support said I need set the local IPv6.  This modification of the parameter stop the Modem from falling (in the process to test this now).

  2nd problem.  My iMac, nor either routers Apple will connect higher than 100base T.  I can see it in the utility network on the iMac.  The support of Cox who sees so.  However, when I connect the Airport Extreme directly to the Modem, Cox support can see that it is a Gigabit device, but after a few seconds, he is down to 100base T.  If I try to manually connect to 1000Base T on the iMac... it will not connect.

  Is there something that I am missing in my settings on the routers or the iMac?

  It is known of problems between all a single serial port SB modems and routers from the airport...

  There is no solution... or is defective, but they hate just each other.

  The best solution is the replacement of the modem or the router.

  We have been recommending the brand zoom but with Cox even modem that can not solve the problem... so I recommend a different router for now... a cheap... it will work quite low-end... TP-Link WR1043ND v2 or v3 for example... It is aprox $50 on Amazon. You can still use the airport bridge and work with Mac protocols for wireless AP.

  Normally, you could fill the AE to the new router, but you can give it a more active role... See the static IP address.

• Why my airport extreme is overheating?

  For the last week my Airport extreme did evidence of a status message saying that it could be overheating. It was behind my iMac so I moved it to the desktop to ensure it becomes quite convenient, and he still has questions. Firmware is up to date, and the airport is barely more than a year. I received it the year last for Christmas. Not sure what is the cause. Is this just a hardware problem?

  I guess two things:

  1. There is plenty of space around the base station itself, and
  2. The room is held where the base station is not excessively hot.

  Your AirPort Extreme 802.11ac has an internal fan to the top of the unit and air is drawn in and exhausted by the bottom. It would be possible to have a few "dust bunnies" in the database or that the fan is defective.

  To get a better idea on what's inside, please look at the following disassembly of iFixit for this device.

• 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.

• 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.
