• 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,

  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.

• Airport Extreme connected to TIVO: why I can not change Type firewall for IPv4.  Field displays IPv6 and is grayed out so I can't change.

  TIVO requires certain ports to be unblocked.  So I try to add the ports requiring TIVO.  But when you try to add the default Type of firewall IPv6 Port Mapping ports and I can't change the value of the IPv4 Port Mapping because the input field is grayed out and no is not accessible.  With Port IPv6 mapping I enter values in all areas except for the IPv6 address because I do not know what value to enter.  I think the button 'save' ' is not available to hit because the IPv6 address field is empty or not valid.  Note: my router Mode is ' Off (Bridge Mode).  Same questions if my router DHCP Mode.

  I changed my router Mode DHCP and NAT, then on the Type of firewall on the default page add ports, IPv4 Port Mapping and I could add ports but with this setting, I couldn't connect to internet in my Airport Extreme: my status remains orange light flashing.

  I use Comcast and my Airport Extreme is connected to my Comcast router using ethernet.

  I use my Airport Extreme as a router (wired and WIRELESS) and as a backup device.

  My TIVO is connected to my Airport Extreme using ethernet.

  How can I add the Ports requiring TIVO.

  Golden in the networking rule. ....... Never try to configure port mapping when you have two devices on the same network the two acting as a router.

  Unfortunately, this is exactly what you're trying to do.

  You have three options:

  (1) run the Comcast router "as what" and configure the port on the device of Comcast mapping... .the airPort Extreme must be configured in Bridge Mode when you do this.

  (2) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... the peripheral Comcast must be configured to operate as a simple modem in Bridge Mode when you do this. 

  
  

  (3) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... swap Comcast modem/router you have now for a simple modem (it will have only a single Ethernet port).

  In other words, either the Comcast is defined as the router and AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode... or... the AiPort Extreme is configured as a router and Comcast must be configured in Bridge Mode.

  If you choose Option 1, then we can not help you on a matter of Comcast router. In bridged Mode, the AirPort Extreme requires no configuration.

  If you choose Option 2 or Option 3, then we the following port values that the Tivo device needs:

  Public or UDP ports

  Public TCP

  UDP private

  Private TCP

  In addition, you need to find the MAC address for the TIVO.  It is a long code that looks something like this, for example:

  A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F6

  A link to the Tivo instructions for port mapping would also be very useful.  I have done this with a TIVO in the past, but is for some years.

  If all goes well, an expert of TIVO will post to lend a hand.

• 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.

• Why is my slower than wifi ethernet download speed when using the airport extreme?

  Hi all

  This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I currently own stunted 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch and an extreme A1521 from the airport. My ISP has promised 50Mbps downloading and sending 10 Mbps. When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised. When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok. However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?

  If you check the 'fine print', your ISP has promised "up to" 50 Mbit/s and 'up to' 10Mbps.  The ISP might provide more than that during periods of slow activity, like the days of the week during the day, but much less during evenings when there are many more users on the Internet.

  When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised

  I assume that you meant to check the Ethernet connection, you disable WiFi on Mac when you do this. And unplug the Ethernet cable when you check the speed of the WiFi, correct?

  If so, this tells you that the Ethernet port to both the modem and the Mac work properly, and WiFi work correctly as well.

  When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok.

  If this tells you that the Ethernet connection between the modem and the AirPort Extreme works correctly, and wireless works fine on the AirPort Extreme.

  However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps.

  Well, you know that the Ethernet connection between the modem and AirPort Extreme works because you can register 48 Mbps Wireless.

  Thus, the possibilities are narrowed to two elements at this stage:

  (1) the Ethernet cable is defective or making intermittent contact. Try another Ethernet cable, to ensure.

  (2) If you have turned off AirPort Extreme and rebooted several times, and you know that the cable between the Mac and AirPort Extreme works properly, then you have reduced the question down to the Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme, which is probably defective switch.

  If you have not already done so, try other ports Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.

  As a last resort, perform a reset material on AirPort Extreme and put up again. To perform the Hard Reset... power on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold it pushed in the reset button on the back of the unit (near the AC power plug) for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart orange light flashing slow.

  I once went through two consecutive airport extremes with the same question about 8 months ago, so it can happen.

  If you're still having problems, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme of Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly by clicking on 'Contact the Support' in the upper right area of this web page.

  Good luck!

• Airport Extreme doesn't let me change the wifi password

  While in the airport utility, I try to change my wifi password and I get "error when updating the configuration."

  There is also no list of what devices are connected to the wifi.

  And it lists the serial number...

  All these things were there yesterday, no downloads or updates between yesterday and today.  Full cycle restarts were made.

  The Setup is Cox as ISP, my modem (Arris Surfboard SB6183), AirPort Extreme 5th gen.

  MBP mid 2015, 10.10.5

  It seems that Cox is currently implementing a number of changes to their service having to do with IPv6 at the present time.  Cox users who have Apple routers have problems as a result of this, and... if we are using the correct information... Cox is telling users that airports are not compatible with the changes that have been made.  Here is an example of message that we saw today:

  Change default delegated prefix IPv6 in Airport Extreme with the Configuration automatic IPv6

  Cox suggests to reboot the router when a problem arises... that helps for some users, but not all.

  or

  Disable IPv6 on the router from the airport... What is not possible. Even if it were, Apple uses IPv6 settings to enable communication with other Apple devices on the network. You can disconnect IPv6 to the WAN port on the airport by changing parameters IPv6 link Local Only... that Cox makes no mention of.

  Now the possible Catch 22.  You must be able to enter the parameters of the AirPort Extreme to change the link Local only... and if you can not access the settings on the airport... things will be difficult.

  You are able to open AirPort Utility, click on the image of the AirPort Extreme and then click on change to display the settings... page with tabs for different areas... or... you get an error message until you can get the settings?

• 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.

• How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

  Data sheet:

  Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

  Luma Surround Wifi 8

  I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

  I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

  I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

  Thanks for your time...

  Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

  In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

  • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
  • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
  • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

  To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

• Problems with the Wi - Fi (Airport Extreme and At & t Uverse questions)

  Hello

  We used an Airport Extreme with AT & T Uverse to our network wireless successfully since 2010. Recently Uverse sent me a new modem, and our wireless service has taken a turn for the worse. The network has two different wireless Internet for our House. Please let know us how we can solve this problem. We use a Mac, mac laptop 2, iPad 2 & all Iphones 2 are up-to-date with the latest version of the software.

  Mike

  The AT & T device is a modem/router that provides a signal of wireless network with a name something like ATTa1b3c3d, for example. Your AirPort Extreme also provides a wireless signal by using a wireless network name that you have assigned to the device.

  Thus, it would be normal for you to be able to 'see' the two wireless networks.

  If you don't want to not use the ATT Wireless, just ignore it... or... If you think that it is at the origin of the conflict with the wireless AirPort Extreme, it is possible to turn off wireless on ATT modem/router, so that you only 'sees' the AirPort Extreme network.

  AT & T support can help you in the task of turning off the wireless... or... If you have the number of brand and practical model of modem/router, AT & T, we can try to find an online configuration guide which could provide instructions for this task.

  If you encounter a different kind of problem, please provide details on the problem.

• Configuration of the Airport Extreme problem and Vigor 120

  Hi all

  This is the case, I have vigor installation 120 in Bridge mode with my airport extreme with settings pppoe settings of my ISP of vpi/vci: 8/35 pppoe/llc adsl2 + login and password, when the force as a router configuration, there worked perfectly, but in Bridge mode has managed to establish a PPPoE to pc but when the connection with the airport no luck I got an invalid ip address and orange light flashing.

  I have the latest in airport and vigor firmware and I'm doing a powecycle reboot after each change.

  Here are the settings in effect 120

  

  

  Any help would be more than welcome

  It's sad to say THAT PPPOE on the Apple is not reliable.

  I have the same problem... I can't use routers Apple with PPPOE on my modem in bridge... regardless of the brand.

  PPPOE is a bunch of variations... PAP or CHAP for example... and the number of... repeated attempts time between repetitions.

  Apple offers zero... whether it's no control... they are all available right now to find out what newspapers or.

  I had to simply replace the Apple router with another router... any other router seems to work fine... It's just the Apple that failed on me...

  I tried with several different Apple routers using all the old firmware, at latest... all fail. So I guess it's less coherent.

• How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?

  How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?   I live in a condo with too many wireless users who is in the band of 2.5 G.  I want to blow up all my systems to just 5 G so I did not so much downtime on Wi - Fi connections.    THX u.

  You can't disable the radio 2.4 GHz on the AirPort Extreme. At best, you can rename your network 5 GHz with a different name from that of the 2.4 GHz radio. You can then connect your clients to the 5 GHz network wirelessly. However, the downside there is that the higher frequency band has more difficulty to walk through walls and you can not find the signal outside the room that the base station can be used.

• 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!

  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.

• How is my AirPort Extreme from of unauthorized configuration?

  I've set up my AirPort Extreme, she seems to have a good solid connection. I used my iPhone and AirPort to utility in place. Now I wonder, what keeps other users in the configuration? I only put in place a network password, not a configuration password. Anyone who knows my network password and have AirPort Utility on their iPhone arrive to my network?

  If you have not set up a password of The Base Station , then anyone on your wireless network with AirPort Utility will have access to the configuration of your AirPort Extreme settings.

  Now may be a good time to add a password for the Base Station if you have not already done this.

  Tap on the AirPort Utility open on your iPhone

  Press the image of AirPort Extreme

  Tap on edit

  Tap Base Station

  Enter a password you want to use as a password for the Base Station or device

  Check the password again

  Tap done

  Tap done again

  Press update if prompted

• How to configure Airport Extrem with OS El Capitan?

  Hello, I need help to set up airport Extrem with the OS X El Capitan. The system always show the same question:

  

  You will not be able to administer the old 802.11 g with your Mac OS X El Capitan AirPort base stations.

  Basically, you have three options:

  1. Replace the Express with a newer 802.11n model.
  2. Use a Mac with OS X Lion or earlier version.
  3. Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.

• New AirPort Extreme and 802.11ac configuration

  Greetings,

  I'll install a new new AirPort Extreme instead of my old Time Capsule gen1.

  Like many people here, I have a combination of features b/g, n and ca.  I want to make sure my end of 2013 iMac connects optimally via ac.  It is in the line of fire of the new router in 25', so it should be in a good location, if all goes well.

  My question is if I have to just put up an SSID and let devices their own switching group; or experienced here people recommend a SSID separated for the strip of the 5 GHz for ac and n devices?

  Thank you!

  Dave

  Start with normal default values.

  That is to say the band permutation is left to the Mac and SSID is the same on both bands.

  If you then find that the Mac makes the wrong choice... a real possibility. And it's important for you... Then assign the SSID on 5 GHz a different name.

  217Mbps is expected to reach a speed at 2.4 ghz and which probably exceeds the speed of your internet with a margin far... (you need at least 2 x the speed of wireless internet to follow, IE if internet is 100 Mbps Wireless should be 200 Mbit/s at least because of half duplex wireless nature). If you have several items that some should be forced to 5 GHz, which can control...
