• 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.

• explosion of comcast Airport extreme Setup

  Recently, I upgraded my Comcast for a Blast 150Mbps connection.  However, through to 2015 Airport Extreme, I get only ~ 40-70Mbps, so that if I bypass it with the CAT5 directly in my Macbook Pro, I get what I should be 130-150 Mbps.  What should I do to set the base station to get it and my surfboard SB6121 to play nice with each other?

  Thanks in advance,

  David

  Unfortunately, the series of Arris/Motorola SB61XX modem seems to be incompatible with the base stations of 802.11ac AirPort (potentially, 802.11n models as well.) This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical questions are interrupted connectivity and low rate of transfer via the WAN - LAN interface. Two models of replacement recommended: Zoom 5341J & the Cisco DPC3008.

  Regardless, it is recommended to use a modem that is approved by your ISP.

  In addition, a number of large ISPS were the deployment of IPv6. You can check if your AirPort Extreme is properly configured for this service. Comcast has provided this link.

• Question about the replacement of the dilapidated old Airport Extreme

  I have an old Airport Extreme, probably about 8 years old.   There seem to be wonky on me.  I tried everything, including resetting to the factory settings.  In any case, the point is that I have to replace the unit.  However, it is mounted in a box electric wall unit, which is not deep enough to contain the new style 'vertical' Airport Extreme which is meant to sit on a desk. It is about an inch too wide.  This new design really * for my situation.

  So, I'm stuck with a choice to replace it with another employee (or I think that some are still box on Amazon) old Airport Extreme, or with another unit of the brand that does the same thing.  Of course, I prefer to stay with Apple, like all my Airport Express, my Time Capsule airport and all our devices are Apple.

  What is the best choice?

  There is a third choice: install the new unit somewhere else than in an electric box armoured, metal. This is not a good location for any wireless device.

• Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

  Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

  Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

  Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

  Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

  To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

  Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

  When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

  How to reset AirPort Extreme 10.11.6 OS? How to work with this pinhole? I'm trying to get rid of this flashing yellow light, which began after I installed a new modem from Comcast.

  How to work with this pinhole?

  Usually a paperclip or toothpick or ball pen.

  Stick it in the hole and reset for about 10 seconds until the front led flashes quickly.

  How to reset AirPort Extreme 10.11.6 OS?

  The software method... Unlike the above material method... is to open airport utility and select restore default settings.

  

  Both methods take you to the same place.

• If I can do an Airport Extreme mobile network with a modem/router cable xfinity manufactured by Cisco?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?

  Yes, if the Airport Extreme will be connected to the Cisco DPC3939 back using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  No. I you have done this, the Cisco/Xfinity device would only act as a simple modem... so it would not be a wireless service to all.

  A note of caution here... the support document you are referencing... Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)... use the examples that are long outdated does not follow with the versions present on a Mac AirPort Utility or iPhone/iPad.

  There are some good general information in the document.

• Fact to have integrated Wi - Fi AirPort Extreme middle of my iMac (early 2009 model) wireless networking is wireless?

  Fact to have integrated Wi - Fi AirPort Extreme middle of my iMac (early 2009 model) wireless networking is wireless?

  Yes, this does mean that it can access wireless internet if you have a router like Terminal Airport Express or Airport Extreme wireless. Assuming you're not planing to carry your iMac autour with you and use it at Starbucks.

• Replace 2004 Airport Extreme with more later?

  WE have an iMac 2009 running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro in late 2011, with the help of an old 2004 Airport Extreme Base Station. The second works very well, but I just discovered it's crimping our internet speeds considerably from that proposed Comcast (tested with ethernet this morning). I know that the new Airport Extreme WORK with our computers, but it will increase our speed, even though computers support not the fastest new PHY mode? I would not upgrade the router only to learn that we do not earn a lot (we can't get much more with the current router 17mbps, but by ethernet, we got 57mbps this morning).

  Thank you

  Owen

  So, if you have connected an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the port on the AirPort Extreme Ethernet older you 57 Mbps... or did you connect your Mac directly to your modem using Ethernet and pick up the 57 Mbit/s in this way?

  When you have measured 17 Mbps on the wireless connection... it was with the computer about 6-7 feet (or about 2 meters) from the airport with direct line of sight between the computer and the router AirPort?

  How many other wireless devices are also involved at the time?  To get a decent wireless speed reading, you want to try to restrict things to a single computer and the router from the airport when you run the speed control.

  Then add more wireless devices and run the speed check again to see how the "charge" on the wireless network speed is affected.

• Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

  I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

  Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

  So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

  FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

  I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

  Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

  http://PortForward.com/English/routers/port_forwarding/Apple/AirPortExtreme/Slin gBox.htm

  It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

  If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

  If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

  Port scan started...

  Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

  Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

  Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

  Port scan has completed...

  My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

  BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

  TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

  See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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..

• Thinking of adding Airport Extreme for Google Fiber

  Hello world. Wanted to start a new question related to Google fiber... slightly different from the issue of Back2Mac earlier.

  I just Google fiber. House is wired throughout with CAT6. Wired connection works fine. Wireless is great, sometimes, but do not receive the beach or the consistency we want.

  Can I add an Airport Extreme, hard connected to the Google fiber network box (which is a router, "PNG" for short) and everything work well and be safe?

  There is a lot of information out there, but most are very technical and I think talking to try to take the PNG of the equation all together. I don't need or want to do. Looking to replace PNG with a wireless Airport Extreme wireless. I think that all that I have to connect the Airport Extreme to PNG by wire, set the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and "create a wireless network" and disable wireless of PNG.

  I have not bought the Airport Extreme and wouldn't bother, if it will be technically above my head. I've seen many references to static port forwarding, DMZ, IP, etc.. Are there others that should be configured to secure my installation? In addition, the activity of the network of wired and wireless devices will share work together (for example, iPhone wireless to AppleTV wired antenna)?

  Thank you and appreciate any help anyone has for a novice with little network experience!

  Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the ports on the fibre-optic LAN <>router - port WAN "O" on the AirPort Extreme.

  Turn AirPort Extreme for a minute or two.

  Click the WiFi menu at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of new AirPort base station.

  Click on AirPort Extreme just below this list.

  

  Who will get the facility operational Apple "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then display a screen similar to the example below, except that you will see a picture of the AirPort Extreme.

  

  Name of the network... Type a short and simple name that you want to call the wireless network

  Base station... Enter a device name short and simple that you want to use for AirPort Extreme

  Password... Type a password that will be used for the wireless network and a base station

  Check... Type the same password to confirm

  Click next

  The "Wizard" will configure everything for you automatically. ... then you don't have to worry about things like the 'bridge', 'security' mode or other parameters.

  When you see the message Setup is complete, click done, and you're done.

• Internet connection Cox Cable &amp; Airport Extreme

  I had the last three or four months a problem with Internet cable fall suddenly. All the lights on the modem cable have no problem with the modem. The Airport Extreme base station has a green light, as well. I have to keep resetting the modem cable 3 - 4 times a day. The ISP is Cox Cable.

  It affects all the iPhone, phone Android, iPad and other Apple computer, we have. All lose connectivity at the same time. If I connect to the Mac mini directly to the modem cable by the cable network the internet connection gets dropped without using the WiFi network.

  1 does anyone know conflicts between modems Motorola and Apple Airport Extreme networks?

  2. what else can I check or try to fix it?

  Airport Extreme: How would I test for a problem with the unit master of AE? The only thing I can think to do is reconfigure AE units and using one of the older AE devices as master and see if that makes a difference, but it's a headache to do if there is an easier way.

  Our WiFi network consists of a base station Airport Extreme 802.11ac with two base stations older AE acting as slaves to the base ac station to expand the network throughout the House. All base stations are running the latest firmware from Apple (7.7.3 & 7.6.4 on two more former slaves). The light remained green for disconnects. We have previously disabled IPv6 in Airport utility on the base station to avoid potential conflicts with the Cox' months before the start of this issue of network.

  Cable modem: Motorola MB 7420 - Cox says he could be the modem, so I bought a new modem cable Motorola MB7420 to replace the former Motorola cable modem - always have the same reduced connection problems. The cable modem shows any change in status or lights during connections has dropped, but only reset the cable modem seems to fix the problem. The two modems are not any lights/status change, but there is no internet connection, even if a computer is connected directly to the cable modem once the connection is released. I kept it connected and had it remove the connection to the internet again after resetting the modem (hours between the drops).

  I tried to connect a computer directly to the modem cable with a network cable and had the same problem, so I thought that I had deviated from the Airport Extreme base station as the problem. Now Cox claims that something came out last week, discussing the problems with Apple routers and cable modems or their network. I can't find anything, but they are supposed to send me information later.

  Coaxial connection: Cox is not finding any disconnection or time in their voting for our modem registers. We had three times to check the lines as he first seemed extremely windy Cox and had a problem before with problems connecting to the pole. Who was waived. They tested the connection between the pole and the cable modem, and we get a signal strong; some problems on the survey for our modem logs (every two hours). There is no water in the connections between the pole and the House. We have checked all the connections of the coaxial cable between the outer box and the cable modem. Cox is to revisit all connections around our House to see if they can find no evidence of a problem upstream or downstream from our part.

  Network cables: I replaced network between the cable modem and AE cables as well as AE to a computer next to him - no change.

  1 does anyone know conflicts between modems Motorola and Apple Airport Extreme networks?

  There are at least two known issues with Cox here on Apple's Support communities:

  1. Cox started the IPv6 role. The current workaround is to configure your AirPort base stations to use IPv6: link-local only.
  2. The series of Arris/Motorola SB61XX modem is incompatible with 802.11ac AirPort base stations (potentially, 802.11n models as well.) This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. I have not heard of all reports on the series of MB74XX... so maybe it's not the question on this point.

  To test the incompatibility, check the ARP cache. It must contain only around a dozen entries. Considerably more could possibly indicate a problem.
