• Internet connection with XP Pro SP3 and Airport Extreme - possible only Internet with no secruity, WEP - "status is always acquiring network address.

  IMac seen the router and connected flawlessly, Sony Vaio however under secruity always gives me "absorbing the network address", I was looking around and heard xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2 so I changed the settings for wep on apple Airport extreme and it STILL does not work. If I have no secruity that it picks up the signal from the internet and everything is fine. I tried to update the drivers for the wireless LAN card already, any input would be great

  SOLVED... apparently xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2, it refuses to connect. I went to settings on extreme airport secruity but wep was not an option, I had to click on OPTION on my MAC keyboard, then click the settings secruity and wep is there, so I removed all the "preferred networks" and restarted the process 'learning' on the vaio and everything's fine. Thanks for all the help, I can get some rest tonight

• Airport Extreme can amplify two distinct networks?

  I have Cox hispeed internet and a simple modem which is divided into two separate networks; one of my computers and the other for support (Apple TV, etc.). My unique adjustable Airport Extreme upward to stimulate each of these networks or I am only able to stimulate a? Thanks for the tips!

  I have Cox hispeed internet and a simple modem which is divided into two separate networks; one of my computers and the other for support (Apple TV, etc.).

  Not exactly what you mean by "split into two separate networks" here. Do you mean that you have an Ethernet switch connected directly to the modem that is used to make the separation? What is the make & model of the modem as Cox brings you?

  Nevertheless, your airport, or pretty much any other wireless router can only a network of 'boost' a single Wi - Fi connection.

• 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.

• Roaming network 3 Airport extreme

  Hello, this is my second post on the forum.  I have a roaming network 3 AirPort Extreme ACs.  (1) in the basement in the medium floor and a first floor on.

  Now middle and basement floor gives off a strong wireless signal and the home is wired with cat 5e if I have devices plugged into the extremes of import and everything works great.  However the AirPort Extreme is only releasing one, 9 Mbps wireless speed when other airports are clearing of 50-150 MB/s.

  I read on these forums that maybe my channels is getting mixed, but all adverse events are set to automatic for the channels so should I change that?

  Also when my new MacBook Pro connects to what is also a device to AC it still hangs to 9 mob/s.  Now it was getting a few days before when I had my time capsule base station wireless (n) with speed of 50-60, I know this isn't my Ethernet cable in the wall. all the recommendations I would appreciate your

  From your description of the problem, it seems that AirPort Extreme in question, is either misconfigured or is defective.

  I suggest that you first try a 'default' reset on this base station and then use AirPort Utility to set up your mobile network. If this fails to solve the problem, it may be defective and you need to replace.

• Airport for Time Machine utility settings / Airport Extreme network

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my former Network Time Capsule, to extend my Wi - Fi. I have read many posts and checked different websites, but I'm just getting more and more confused.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5. What would my network settings in Airport utility to the Airport Extreme and time for a better return Capsule?

  How can I find out if the two grow Wi - Fi?

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my network of Time Capsule prior to extend my Wi - Fi

  I think we got it... and we understand. This tells us that you have added an AirPort Extreme to the core network to ensure the widest coverage Time Capsule wireless.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5.

  No, unfortunately, we do not have it.  This tells us that your AirPort Extreme is the main router and that you have added a time Capsule to provide wider coverage wireless for the AirPort Extreme network.

  Sorry, but we are confused. Which of your statements above is correct?

  AirPort Extreme extends to the Time Capsule network, or have you changed your network so that the Capsule extends the AirPort Extreme network?

  Could you please provide the serial number and the model of your DSL modem?

• Is Airport extreme dual band

  I have a double router band nighthawk netgear as my base station to the floor and I put my Airport extreme downstairs as a wifi extender told me that if my airport extreme is only single of the band will slow down the network of hole. Is this true?

  We need the model number of your AirPort Extreme to tell you whether it is simple or double band. The model number is at the bottom of the airport... starts with an 'A' followed by 4 digits.  An example would be the A1143.

  Then, it might help to understand that Apple uses proprietary technology to Wireless "extend" a network that is designed to allow only Apple routers extend the signal of another router from Apple.

  When wireless routers expand a network, there is always a loss of about half of the potential speed on the network. Nature of the beast with a wireless extension.  This loss can be avoided if the routers connect using a wired Ethernet connection.

  You don't specify how the airport will connect to the Netgear network, so it would be useful that you could clarify on this.

  It is very unlikely that an airport could not Wireless extend the signal from a third-party router. If your airport is an AirPort Express Terminal, it can probably 'join' the Netgear network so that it will work for AirPlay or allow a remote USB printer to connect.

  But the Express (or extreme, if that's what you have) not connect "extend" the network when he "joins", then wireless near the airport unit will always be all the way back to your main router.

  So, it might be a good idea to check the settings of the Express using AirPort Utility to find out exactly what it is and is not on your network.

• 2nd airport Extreme replaces an older AP, it is connected via wifi or ethernet?

  Sorry for what is lame, I read on the news from Apple, but I'm a bit confused with the concept of the expansion of the range with a bridge instead of an access point.

  The original installation was an extreme Apple with a TrendNet AP. The Trendnet used a different SSID, the new bridge to the AESB uses the same SSID as the router/AESB. I used the Airport utility, and I think that it only gave me an option to extend the reach of the original AEBS. The new bridge to the AESB is connected to Ethernet.

  I'm confused that if the new AESB uses the same SSID as the AESB/router, it means that it does not use the ethernet connection. How can I know if the second AESB is using the Ethernet connection or extend the reach of the Wifi? Or actually I mess up and need to re-setup the AESB?

  A bridge is actually one access point, but uses the same SSID? all the other differences?

  Thanks in advance!

  Let's back off on the terminology for a bit, since terms such as 'spread', 'bridge' and 'access point' can mean different things to different people.

  You have an AirPort Extreme at the moment which produces a signal of wireless network, correct?

  You want to add another AirPort Extreme to your AirPort Extreme network, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme to connect to the existing AirPort Extreme using wired, Ethernet wired, permanent, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme using the same wireless network name and password as your existing AirPort Extreme, correct?

• Installation of Airport Extreme for Motorola gateway?

  I was hoping someone may be able to help me go through the steps required to configure my Airport Express base station (new) new gateway of Motorola Surfboard SBG 6580 (Cox is my ISP). My main machines are a mid 2010 21.5 "iMac under OSX 10.8.5 and a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro running OSX10.10.5

  The research I did, I know that I will need to disable the features wireless on the bridge and run an ethernet cable from one of the WAN ports to the Airport express. I wonder if it's just a matter of going in my router settings and turn off the wireless, so I can just use it as a modem, or is there something else I need to turn off while I'm in these settings?

  I've got also a Netgear wifi extender used in my current set up, but I hope I won't need more once I created the Airport extreme, but if I need, it would be compatible with the Airport extreme?

  I'll always be able to use other ports WAN ethernet on the motorola, once the most extreme airport is set up? I ask because I currently use all 4 ports on the motorola, and the Airport extreme has only 3.

  Finally, I would like to use the same name as my current wireless network, there will be no problem with that, and I'll be able to hide my network name, like I currently do? I think it's an option "do not broadcast" currently so it doesn't show up for people to scan for wireless networks

  Devices that use my wifi are for most Apple products with the exception of a HTC smartphone, a stick of fire from Amazon and a smart TV.

  Thanks in advance for any help/tips

  Jeff

  Unless you really need to disable the gateway wireless, you may configure your network easier by defining just two to a network roaming type .

  However, before thinking about this, it would be useful if we understood what your networking goals are for these devices. Also, can you please give the model numbers exactly for each of your AirPort base station you want to use in your network.

• Airport Extreme Double NAT / AT & T NVG510

  My Internet connection has worked very well for several years, until recently, when the simple DSL modem (a Motorola 2210-02 - 1ATT) provided by AT & T began to experience intermittent outages. Initially, the DSL modem would lose the line for a minute or two at a time. But within 48 hours, the line started to drop during the hours in a row (synchronization failed line DSL). Whenever the modem has lost the line, my Airport Extreme (the router on my home network), shows a "Double NAT" alert. But whenever the modem 2210-02 DSL connection has been restored, alert the Airport Extreme's "Double NAT" disappeared.

  After a day and a half problems, the line is down for so many hours that I finally called AT & T to check the status of our range. So, AT & T sent a technician who concluded fairly quickly the 2210-02-1ATT was the problem and replaced it with a modem/router combo (manufacturing date 11/2014) NVG510 (with router function disabled in the settings).

  The speed that results and the quality of the connection via the NVG510 were good, so the tech packed 2210-02 in his bag and left. But now I get that alert "Double NAT" once again on my Airport Extreme, even if the home network is apparently working as well as it ever did.

  The only setting I changed was on the NVG510 - as soon as the technology has left, I turned off the WiFi on the NVG510 function because I want the Airport Extreme to my router, same as always.

  So far so good. After 24 hours with the NVG510 in place, the network worked well with no major hiccups, the only exception being the status of "Double NAT" alert displayed in Airport utility. In fact, had I have not bothered to watch Airport utility, I don't know that there was a "Double NAT" alert

  Everything on the side of the NVG510 LAN is identical to what was in place with the 2210-02...

  Airport Extreme 802.11ac works as "router" with the WiFi signal on another floor via an Airport Extreme 802.11n wireless (5th generation).

  The WiFi signal provides web access to some desktop Mac, AppleTV, devices, mobile phones, tablet computers and a laptop (laptop is the only device that uses a VPN).

  The network on the Airport Express 802.11ac, who serves as router, is "DHCP and NAT." and the "5th Gen," which extends the wireless network, set mode "bridge."

  After hours of searching online, I understand that this problem is surely the result of the NVG510, and that this problem exists for at least five years. I've read at least a few tens of different ways to try a fix via adjustments to settings, but none reached the level of a real solution.

  Although my network is no problem at the moment, I'm afraid that "Double NAT" alert is a sword of Damocles that will eventually crash my network, a situation I like to avoid. I dared not yet connect the laptop with a VPN to the router, but out of fear that will bring down the whole network.

  I'd rather solve the "Double NAT" proactively.

  Is there a a way to eliminate the Double "Nat" by adjusting the parameters of the NVG510 and/or the Airport Extreme?  Or, my fears of future problems and a VPN disaster are unfounded?

  Thank you

  According to your comments, the NVG510 has not been reconfigured as a bridge and is providing routing functions (NAT & DHCP).

  To resolve the Double NAT is the new Motorola NVG510 or AirPort Extreme needs to be reconfigured under a bridge. The simplest solution would be to reconfigure the extreme. In this way, the NVG510 can handle NAT & DHCP services required by clients of network connected to the extreme to access the Internet.

  To reconfigure the extreme as a gateway, use the AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility and then select the extreme.
  • Click on Extreme and then, select Edit.
  • Click the network tab to select it.
  • Change the router Mode to: Off (bridge Mode)
  • Click on update and allow extreme restart.

• 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?

• Airport Extreme a different IP address than the NEST

  Hi all

  I have an Airport Extreme new set up a network of comments.  The guest network is configured for the IP addresses in the 172.16... range, compared to the 192.168 range (which is for the network no comments).

  I put my nest on the network of comments.  I see in the settings on the nest indeed connected to the network with an IP 172.16 comments...

  But, when I look at the Airport utility it says the nest is connected using the IP 192.168... which means it is NOT on the network of comments.

  Something is wrong here - is there a bug in Airport utility, causing this or something else, you know?

  Thank you

  Allen

  Something isn't bad. It is normal, unless you want to call normal a "bug".

  AirPort Extreme uses VLAN technology... Virtual local area network... to provide Internet access to the nest using one and only available Internet connection to AirPort Extreme.  Indeed, the NEST uses the same network and the same Internet connection as your other devices that are not on the network of comments.

• 2.4 GHz networks are not found

  My mac mini (late 2009) (El Capitan) is not able to pick up networks 2.4 GHz Wireless.

  A scan of wireless with my iMac diagnosis nine find ten networks of 2.4 GhZ and 5 GHz network and my macbook pro concludes two 2.4 Hz networks and the network of 5 GHz one... but the mac mini are only 5 GHz network.

  Does anyone know why this should be, and what I can do to find the 2.4 GHz that? The router is about 2 meters from the mac mini.

  Thank you.

  I can't say with certainty what the cause is but can suggest something to check which is a common problem.

  The Mac mini late model 2009 is the old Mac mini form and has very, very tedious connections to WiFi antennas and Bluetooth, if the Mac mini has never been taken to for example upgrade memory, or replace the hard drive, it is extremely common for one or more of these connectors are lost. It could be the 2.4 GHz it is disconnected.

• Airport Extreme and USB hub

  Hi all!!

  Witch of USB hubs with printer and hard drive connected can work with last gen extreme airport?

• 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.
