• Problems with AirPort Extreme and Qwest Modem/Router.

  I have a Qwest ActionTec 1000 DSL VDSL2 gateway and want to disable the functions of router wireless and those through direct AirPort Extreme. I know that in the Modem I have to disable the functions of addressing and turn them in the AirPort Extreme to avoid address conflicts, but what are the settings I need to change in both devices? And what is "A Transparent bridging" on the side of the modem?

  But what are the settings I need to change in both devices?

  Sorry, we can't help on the settings for the modem/router, because it would be a question of Qwest as to if this is even possible and if so, if Qwest will support this type of installation. Sometimes the ISP lock modem/router settings, and although it seems as if you can change the basic configuration of the unit, you can really.

  Yes, it is possible that another user of Qwest has done with the same modem/router you have and an AirPort Extreme... and may know the answer... but the chances of the person who holds this information also to see this post are slightly above zero. But, I guess it's possible.

  If the modem/router can be configured to operate only as a simple modem, then the next step would be to get your Mac connected directly to the modem to test the connection in this way. If Qwest is going to help you, they will do it no doubt with your Mac connected directly to the "modem" as well.

  Once you know the exact details of the PPPoE authentication to establish a connection, these parameters can be transferred to the AirPort Extreme and removed from your Mac. To do this, you reset the AirPort Extreme back to default and then put settings in place again. The installer should detect the PPPoE connection and then ask for your login information.  After this, the correct settings apply to AirPort Extreme during the installation.  You can still use the same wireless network name and password you used before if you wish, or set up a new network name and password.

  PPPoE on the routers of the airport, at least in my experience, was not a reliable way to connect when I tried this in the past, but you don't really know how well... or even if... it will work until try you it. Unless you really want the airport to distribute IP addresses to devices on your network, things would be a lot more simple if you went ahead and used the modem/router "such what" and then let the airport works in Bridge Mode to transfer information in connection with network devices.

  When you have the modem/router converted to act as a simple modem and made a successful connection using your Mac connected directly to the "modem", post back and we can help with the configuration of the AirPort Extreme if you need more advice.

• Apple Airport Extreme and new FIOS router - problem

  Hello, I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station, which worked well with a Comcast router.  When you set up with Comcast router, I set the router to comcast to bridge and the Airport Extreme has done all the work as the main router. When I switched to Verizon FIOS today, I get the typical mistake of NAT double (that I did with the Comcast before configuring the router to Comcast to bridge).  However, the tech support guy FIOS said that was not an option, so he set up my Airport Extreme in bridge - router off mode mode.  This really live to the top incoming access using SSH, Timbuktu or the Apple screen sharing, given that I can't assign fixed IP addresses to the computers on my network and can not use the Airport Utility Network Port settings to open "pipes" for a particular computer.  In addition, I'm more comfortable using Airport Extreme, rather than things FIOS. Someone at - it other than enter Comcast suggestions?

  I did a search and didn't see a post on this in the discussion forum.  Thank you

  What is the brand and model of your router Verizon? Verizon provides you with administrator access to it to allow you to make changes?

• Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

  I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

  This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

  Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

  This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

  I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

  The problem is:

  Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

  If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

  I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

  I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

  So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

  I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

  I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

  Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

  If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

  We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

• Hi I have cone t to infinity of BT using my AirPort Extreme and Draytek Vigor 130 modem

  HI I went to BT Inifity a few months ago and started using the BT Hub, which accompanies it, now I want to use my AirPort Extreme which I have connected to a modem of 130 Vigor.

  I have reset the MONKEY and connected on 130 Vigor and everything looks fine please see the first photo,.

  

  However this page will automatically open in my web browser (see second photo)

  

  Your BT Home Hub is a device of combination modem & router or gateway. Your Vigor 130 is a simple modem. Your ISP is only expected that you have one or the other attached to their Internet service. What is your goal for the AirPort Extreme and what exact model is?

• Airport Extreme and Cox Internet IPv6 problem

  This is one notification to others as well as a question:

  I have Cox Cable high speed Internet in several places using an Airport Extreme 3 GB connected as a router to the modem cable Cox.

  For more than a week, we would find regularly in the morning that the outside connection to internet DNS servers were lost.  We called Cox several times and they have done the usual reset of the router and the modem and things seem to work for some time.  But the next day again.

  They came out and replaced the connections, I I had to buy a new cable modem and I replaced a digital switch.  Every time things seem to work for some time.

  I thought to replace the Airport Extreme (I read others did in a similar situation without result).

  After much frustration, I started looking for Airport Extreme and DNS and found similar stories.

  After that several unproductive calls with Cox Internet of first level support, I finally reached a level which acknowledged that Cox was the IPv6 deployment and he was having a problem with Airport Extreme routers.  They said Apple was working on it and gave me a number to call for support from router from apple.  Unfortunately the number they gave was no longer valid.

  I persisted and finally got the Apple support and indeed they knew the problem and said Cox was working on that... But there was a temporary problem - and that was to disable iPv6 on the airport extreme (more precisely (internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only).)

  For now it seems to have stopped the decline during the night which seems to happen between 12:00 and 02:00.  By experience, I do not think that its really a problem of compaibility IPV6, but how the router meets some kind of rebate to zero/test signal signal service is done in early morning.

  So the question is - does anyone know with certainty what happens or who really works on this.  From my point of view, both sides think it's the other problem.  BTW - I've read about other people with Non Apple routers running after something similar.

  GABarber,

  I also had a similar problem.  Prior service of Cox Communications in Phoenix AZ has been rescinded and recently restored (March 1) yesterday afternoon.  After the departure of the technician, the wi - fi failed to produce a valid connection, citing DNS error and no response from the server.  We have a new modem, CISCO, at an Air Port/Time Capsule 2 TB ethernet cable.

  After talking with support for level 2 level 1 and then Cox, there was sufficient evidence for a correct signal via the modem, but the Port of the Air was not picking up or he issued (by Cox).  Check my Air Port Utility apps on iMac and iPhone shows a signal Internet or Air Port casual, but never the two together.  The modem and the Air Port so would show appropriate green led lights up, but in vain to work wi - fi.

  The only thing that has worked so far is your solution listed above: Air Port utility > Internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only.

  Thank you, GABarber.

• How to fill Airport extreme wth my DSL router

  I am interested to buy an airport extreme and I currently have a DSL WiFi router. can I fill my current setup and then copy it into the new airport extreme, and then turn off my WiFi in my DSL router? in other words, I wish the Airport extreme to be the main WiFi, I hope I'm supposed?

  You cannot copy between dissimilar model routers.

  And there is absolutely no reason and without having to turn off the current router wifi and every reason to leave it on.

  The extreme must be in bridge including the Apple Installer mode to remove the wireless of comments. So I encourage you to just run two wireless networks... (there bandwidth to run 3 without causing problems).

  Create the wireless on the extreme with your own new values wireless... and you connect some Apple devices you want.

  But you can do what you want... just use the existing router SSID in the airport and use his password... However, this can cause problems for clients who expect a single Assembly and find that they are connected to something unknown.

• Airport Extreme and Time Machine

  Two questions:

  I have a 2nd generation (I think) Time machine. Network performance is slow throughout the House. MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone, etc. In addition, we have internet high speed ugly (country life). The new Airport Extreme upgrade will speed up my network? Also if I buy AE without Time Machine can I use always current Time Machine for backups and not as a router? Running Mac Mini end of 2014.

  If the seed is limited by your internet provider then a new router will not help.

  Try to connect to a Mac via a cable (Ethernet). That will help determine if update will help your wifi router with internet high speed.

  An Airport Extreme includes NO storage. Apple's time Capsule incorporates an Airport Extreme and a hard drive for storage in a single package/case.

  Even if you bought a time Capsule you sill use your existing storage unit for your Time Machine backup

• Airport Extreme and Airport Express remove blackheads effectively.  The Eeco seems a better solution.

  Airport Extreme and Airport Express do a bad job to expand the WiFi connection in a House.  The Ethernet port on the Airport Express doesn't seem to work.  The Eeco product seems to have done a better job to extend a Wi - Fi network in a home.

  You posted your comments as an issue. You have a question or a problem that you want to get help related to Apple network so that we can try to help you to?

• AirPort Extreme and airport express bought in Europe will work in the United States?

  AirPort Extreme and airport express bought in Europe will work in the United States?

  Airports will work on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so they'll work wise power, about anywhere in the world, assuming that you have a power adapter to change the European plug to a US plug.  A voltage converter is not necessary.

  European wireless operated from 1-13 and the United States channels 1-11, so you will need to make sure that you use 1-11 If you want other users to be able to connect to the wireless signal.

• Can I connect my HP5580 to Airport Extreme and print wireless?

  I use a MBP early 2011, 2.2 g of 15 "and an Airport Extreme Wi - Fi system.  Can I use my HP5580 connected to my Airport Extreme USB, to print wireless?

  Thanks for your quick response.  I tried the procedure suggested you, but to no avail.   I then started to grope in the different sources of information and stumbled on this after having plugged the computer in Airport Extreme and cycling the unit you have recommended:

  If you are using OS X, go to Apple System Preferences > print & scan remove the printer selected by pressing-, then press on + to add a printer, select the printer even to add it.

  Once I did that, the HP C5580 will appear as connected via usb to an Airport Extreme and it prints like a champ!

  So, you support led me in the right direction - thanks again!

• How to extend a WiFi router network not Apple using Airport Extreme and Express?

  My cable ISP company just gave me a new modem/router - a DG of Arris - 2470. For the last two years I used a cable modem independent older with a connected Airport Extreme (both located on the ground floor) and an Airport Express station on the floor as an Extender. I was very happy with the power of the signal around the House.

  Since his arrival to the Arris router my signal has become very low to the floor. I would use my two Apple devices to extend/boost my network, but do not know how to do this.

  Thank you!

  Basically, you have two options:

  1. (Best overall performance of the network) Connect the extreme and Express on the Arris Ethernet gateway device and configure all for a traveling-type network. This would require an Ethernet connection between all routers that can be accomplished by either using Ethernet cable or the use of mains adapters.
  2. (The overall performance of the adequate network) Simply connect the extreme to the Arris Ethernet, then extend the extreme using the Express.

  Which of these do you prefer?

• I have older Airport Extreme and Express but I now want to set up a new router Airport.

  I have an old Airport Extreme as my main hard wired (ethernet connected) router and an Express that I use as wifi Wireless extender.   Now, I want to set up a new Airport (probably Extreme) router and use the old Airport extreme as extender wifi hard wired (ethernet cable).

  I know that I have to reset the old default airport routers. But, how I do this and please start from there and the beginning, their reset and then up to the new Airport base station and then configure the older router to use with the new? Please be detailed, step by step and attach written instructions or places that I can get the instructions.

  What exact models are each of your airport base stations? Once we have this information, we can help you get your properly configured access point.

• I just bought an Airport Extreme and try to put in place.  I have Fios cable with a router.  I can not get anything except a blinking orange light.  After reading the instructions, it seems that the problem with the ethernet cable but I

  Must not exceed the flashing orange light.  have tried three ethernet cables to the Fios router.  All thoughts

  What extreme version do you have?

  Test the cables connecting the airport to your Mac with them and see if the ethernet works on Mac. Green connectivity light should go... If it fails, then the AE died.

  Please do a factory reset, then try again.

  Sometimes Mac airport utility works well... If you have the preference or iphone ipad, download and use iOS version airport utility and try it for configuration... It is much less awkward.

• AirPort Extreme and Virgin super hub

  Hello

  I have a new hub great vm that I put in place in modem only mode and then using my AirPort Extreme of 2nd generation as the wireless router. Is there a reason why I would see lower broadband speeds like that implemented just vs using the super hub in router mode full. I get very fast BB with just the hub acting as the wireless router but it drops by half or even more with my extreme up to game. The problem is that the hub has the power of the terrible wireless signal? I was wondering if it's because of my extreme 2nd generation? Or perhaps a setting that is incorrect.

  appreciate any advice.

  Thank you

  PHil

  A 2nd generation AirPort Extreme is at less than 7 years and that almost 9 depending on where you purchased the product. On average, the useful lifetime of a router designed for domestic use is... average... about 5 years.

  You can reset the AirPort Extreme back to default settings and then set ip all over again, but frankly, I doubt that this will result in a significant improvement. Let us know your results if you decide to try it.

  If you decide to try a new router, AirPort, Apple offers a 14-day return privilege, so if one new product is not the way you want, you can return it for Exchange or refund.
