• 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 + 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 Express in client mode to serve Airport Extreme

  Hi guys,.

  I am struggling with Setup in our business that is pretty special. Our cash register, the Bank Terminal and the control system are all serviced by an Airport Extreme that was configured with care by a dedicated company. The extreme is powered via an Ethernet based modem. The basic modem is a box any of the internet service provider in our country that has four ethernet ports and a basic WIFI network that we open for customers. As the basic modem is too far from the extreme, a powerline sitecom was initially used to carry the signal to the modem from basic to the extreme.

  But the powerline connection was poor, so they advised me to replace the powerline by an Airport Express in client mode, which converts the client base modem wifi signal ethernet to the WAN port on the extreme. I installed the Express exactly as described by Apple (AirPort Express: how to join an existing client mode - Apple Support Wi - Fi network) and the entire installation ran smooth for about an hour. At a time of seemingly random, all of a sudden the extreme complains that the internet connection is lost. In airport utility, the extreme flashes green, but the internet icon is orange and the notification indicates that the connection is lost. However, the Express flashes green and is always connected to the WIFI which worked again properly, I confirmed. Restart the extreme and Express to solve the problem, but only temporarily. After some time, the extreme complained again that the internet is lost.

  Can someone explain what could cause this problem and how to solve? Thanks in advance.

  From your description, I guess that the WiFi connection between the base modem and the AirPort Express is where you need to solve problems more far. Looks like that the modem is not a simple modem, but a combination modem and the wireless router, also known as the name of a gateway device.

  Nevertheless, the best solution would be to use an Ethernet cable dedicated between the "modem" and the AirPort Extreme. Bypassing the Express all together. The next would be Powerline adapters. I'm a little surprised that those you used works well for you. Unfortunately, the scenario of 'worse' bandwidth performance is what you're doing now is to use the AirPort Express as an Ethernet bridge Wireless Terminal

  However, if you have no other choice in the matter, where you then place the Express can make a difference. You want to Express to be in a db 25 + range of report Signal to noise (SNR) of the modem. This will allow the Express maintain a connection compatible with this modem wireless network. To find out how to measure SNR, discover the next Tip of an airport users for details. Please post back your results.

• Several Airport Extreme Bases in 25, 000 location

  I installed (with the initial support of Apple) 17 slots Airport Extreme Base in a massive area covering seamless WiFi from the corner to the corner cover. After installation (with 1 original of that base, others were out), they began to fail one by one. Of course, when the main basis loses internet all go. So I decided to hard wire a few of them and call Apple for support. This time this Apple stuck with their word that "only 3 units of a string are supported and we can not help you with any other." Although someone in engineering has helped me when I planned this facility and said they had 14 in one place would help if we needed. Bottom line, they are no longer available and im stuck with a network that falls to 75% of the time with the use of 5 minutes or more per unit. Although all devices does not connect, they do not... I have since withdrawn from 17 stations at 12 and I have 4 units of hard wire with 3 units on each wireless and I STILL lose the internet. I have a staff of the company ISP connection and traffic is light. My questions are:

  1 - the primary Base takes too much traffic?

  a if so, to alleviate some I might add a switch to disperse a bandwidth?

  2. any idea to fix what I have or add additional devices to make this network more stable?

  Thank you in advance!

  Brian

  Just to be sure, I understand your current network configuration with all of these base stations.

  Are 802.11ac airport base stations all extremes?

  Are they, assuming that the 'main' base station is connected directly to the Internet modem by Ethernet:

  1. In a traveling-type network, all interconnected by Ethernet?
  2. All connected by in a kind of network extendedwireless?
  3. Some connected by Ethernet and others by wireless?

  Ideally, in a network configuration to cover this amount of area, it must be configured to a mobile network. This is usually how they would be implemented in a company or educational institution.

  There are other things to consider as well, but I would need to first know the basic configuration of the network.

• Internet provider DOWNLOAD speed vs Airport Extreme

  Hello

  I had download speeds slow on my Airport Extreme for ipad, iPhone and imac.

  I have a modem connected via Ethernet cable to an ac Airport Extreme 802.11 Optimum.

  Ran to the application of speed test on my ipad II (within 5 feet of the airport).

  The results showed that the download is only 2.12mbps and upload is 24.97mbps. I pay for the 50mbps service.

  I tried the same thing by using a new iPhone SE and timed to 22,93 download and upload to 23.95. A little better but still not enough good.

  I contacted Optimum and they ran a couple of tests showing that my modem is online, signals are ideal, there is no loss of data to the modem and there is no failure in the region.

  They recommended connect a laptop directly to the router and without going through the airport. Will try it tonight to see the results.

  Assuming that the connection of the cable between the modem and the laptop is fast, what I can do to improve the speed of the WiFi?

  There is something to put in place at the airport? I guess there will be a reduction in speed between wired devices and WiFi but not this bad. What is the maximum number of devices (iphones, ipads or imacs) airport can support? I have at least 6 or more WiFi sharing schemes and wonder if this is the problem.

  Thank you

  Bob

  Please read using the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - Apple Support.

  What is the maximum number of devices (iphones, ipads or imacs) airport can support?

  Apple recommends 50. I got that three dozen sharing an Apple base station AirPort simultaneously with no noticeable performance degradation.

  The factor limiting the bandwidth will be the most restrictive of what follows, in no particular order:

  • your ISP
  • your local wireless environment, including other interference and competing wireless networks
  • the performance of the client machine
  • out of your control network conditions

  Your AEBS will not limit the bandwidth, but if you have reason to believe that it is, a "hard reset" is the only possible troubleshooting step. On rare occasions, an internal parameter becomes corrupted and this is the only way to fix it. By 'rare', I mean "almost never" and the last thing you should consider, after rule out all other possible causes of poor wireless performance.

• Slow wifi transfer rates with Airport Extreme network.

  I have an Airport extreme Rev 5 and am trying to transfer files between 2 Mac on the network. Everything works fine, but the transfer speed is only about 2.5 meg per second. Should get more than that?

  Everything works well, I get my full bandwidth from my ISP (11.8 Mbps) when downloading via wifi, it s just during the transfer of files within the wifi network that things are slowing down.

  Thanks for any help

  Tim

  Wireless is inefficient when you double jump... This means that... both computers are transfer of files via the Wi - Fi because wireless deals actually double the packages... So he immediately reduces speed by 50%.

  Let us ensure that we are using right units first.

  1. your download from the internet is measured in bits per second... Please use b for forests.

  2. your file transfer is measured in bytes per second... Please use B for bytes.

  So, if you look at the monitor of activity... a copy of computer file wireless to NAS (ethernet) ran at 38-40 MB/s

  

  If I transfer to another computer that is also the wireless speed would be halved. Or worse... (see below, even with AC wireless is far worse) depends on the slower links.

  So how do you measure the speed of file transfer and is it bits or bytes per second?

  What is the speed of connection on each computer.

  Hold down the option key and click on the fan wireless.

  

  You can see that this computer has a 450Mbps link speed... It will never transfer files to that more than half, but you wait for connections at full speed to get the best links.

  My new computer...

  

  So if I transfer the computer file to another, it looks like this.

  

  Even with that wireless, it's much slower than the SIN that has ethernet and spinning drive... The computer has SSD.

• Questions about my old Airport Extreme & 5 vs. 2.4 GHz

  I have an older Airport Extreme.  It's either a generation first or second - model A1143 (two generations had the same number, can't say that I have).  But two of them said they sent either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz - either / or, but not at the same time, (which came on the next generation).

  I have two questions: first, how can I tell who is sent to the and how are they passed?  And second, if my Airport is on the second floor, but most use is on the first floor, which of the two should I use?  I understand 2.4 is better for long distances, but did not know what is considered "long."

  Not only he use to my Macbook and iPads, but also to an Apple TV, where the bandwidth, of course, is a matter of concern.

  Thank you very much!

  Phil in Chicago

  I have two questions: first, how can I tell who is sent to the and how are they passed?  And second, if my Airport is on the second floor, but most use is on the first floor, which of the two should I use?

  Looks like three questions.

  Let's first find out which version of AirPort Extreme you have.  I assume that you are running a recent operating system on the MacBook like El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, etc.

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

  Hold down the option on your MacBook while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Glance to see what model you have... An Airport Extreme 802.11n (1st generation), or an AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd generation)

  As soon as we have this info, we will you say a bit more on the model you have and how to check certain parameters of the airport you have.

  By default, the A1143 airports are set up to provide a network of 2. 4 GHz, so unless you have changed the settings, your airport is send signals of 2.4 GHz.

  5 GHz signals have the ability to speed faster than 2.4 GHz signals... but... 5 GHz signals are much weaker than the 2.4 GHz signals, 5 GHz works well when your wireless devices are in the same room as the Terminal AirPort, or they close a line-of-sight relationship with airport router.

  Not much of a 5 GHz signal it will be through a ceiling, which is on average about 3 times more dense as normal in a House wall, if you still want to use 2.4 GHz on your network.

• 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.

  

• An external HD w / 6th gen Airport Extreme can be used for NAS?

  I ' d like converted my Mac home theater use more, and I thought about options for NAS.» My current kit includes an old 802.11 g Express, so of course I will upgrade to a new extreme for bandwidth extra. I see the extreme has a full range of ports at the back, so can I attach an external hard drive of quality to the extreme and end up with a good - although budget - NAS?

  can I attach an external hard drive of quality to the extreme and end up with a good - although budget - NAS?

  Yes, if you are willing to accept extremely slow performance compared to a normal NAS.  The reason is that the USB port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and due to the limitations of speed processor on AirPort Extreme, the port is working at only half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer.

  So, at best, the 'budget' NAS can run about one third to half the speed of NAS normal. This might be OK for backups and other data that you may not access on a normal basis, but it would not be recommended to try to locate a picture of 'work' library, video library or other type of audio/video media on the USB key which will be available on a regular basis.

  Another issue to consider is that the USB 2.0 on the AirPort Extreme is in power, then you will probably need to use a USB powered with AirPort Extreme hub.

  Finally, most of the USB hard drives are now USB 3.0... and the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0.  In theory, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0... but the theory does not always true in practice.

  If you already have a USB 3.0 drive, Apple does allow a privilege to return 14 days for the purchase of new AirPort Extreme, so if you still wish to proceed, you can try things for a week or two to see how well... or, even if... .they will work.

• Atheros AirPort Extreme 5 GHz?

  Hello

  I have an old 17-inch MacBook Pro (model A1229).

  There card wifi Atheros AirPort Extreme with firmware 5416 4.0.74.0 - P2P version.

  This card can connect to a router with a frequency of 5 GHz, and a bandwidth of 40 Mhz?

  Kind regards

  Yes, he should be able to connect.

• How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

  How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

  AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

  When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected. Please check the following airport user tip for more details.

• My AirPort Extreme end not implemented with the help of AirPort Utility

  Bought a used AirPort Extreme (Genesis 4) of a person who showed me that he worked at home. When I try to set up as a Wireless extender to my last existing AirPort Extreme, he will not carry out synchronization upward with AirPort Utility. It appears as a new extreme, but get a message 'unexpected error' before or after the name. Have you tried to reset the two while it is powered and turning the as explained in the help.

  When I try to set up as a Wireless extender...

  Gen 4 airport will connect to your existing AirPort Extreme wireless... or... it will connect using wired Ethernet wired, Permanent?

  .. .it will not accomplish the synchronization upward with AirPort Utility.

  Which version of AirPort Utility?  If it's on your Mac... and you don't know what version you have...

  Open AirPort Utility

  Click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen

  Click on about AirPort Utility

  Report on the version number you see here

  You have an iPhone or a handy iPad that could be used to implement the 4th Gen airport if the problems continue with the help of your Mac?

• I want to register to a new Airport extreme

  I am trying to record a new extreme airport bought on Amazon, I don't see where I can do I also bought a 2-year warranty that I have not yet received

  AS FAR AS I KNOW... Airport extreme is a device and not important in the Apple of things.

  There is no available for an Airport Extreme applecare... If you have purchased an extended warranty of 2 years, this is by a third party.

  AppleCare on a computer, an ipad or apple TV covers the Airport Extreme as well.
