• Problems of ' 09 Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme upgrade

  I with success the setup a new Airport Extreme (AE) and I want to continue to use my Time Capsule (TC) 2009 as a backup drive. However, I have questions. What is the right way to implement these devices to play nice?

  I have currently the modem ethernet fall on the AE WAN ethernet. Then I have another ethernet cable connecting the AE LAN ethernet in the TC WAN.

  In addition, I have the TC Network Mode as 'OFF' and his router Mode as 'Off (Bridge Mode).

• Airport Extreme and Time Machine

  Two questions:

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

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

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

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

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

• Should I upgrade to Airport extreme?

  My network is based on an Airport Express station. It works very well with 2 MacBook Pro and i - Pad, i-Phone etc. Occasionally, the iPad has problems connecting to the front of the House but if I get closer to the airport, it works very well.

  I recently bought a 'smart' TV from Samsung. He has trouble connecting to the network. Would it be because of the location (distance from Airport Express)?

  Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme? Is there another way to extend the effective range?

  Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme?

  Potentially, Yes. The AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule 802.11ac have radio antennas much more superior than any Express models. You can get the extreme, try it and return it if it does not meet your needs.

  Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme? Is there another way to extend the effective range?

  Yes, you can get another Express, Extreme or Time Capsule to extend the scope of the Express Wireless current. You can do this either through a wired (recommended) or wireless connection between them.

• Unable to connect to Airport Extreme after updating iOS 10

  Hey guys.

  OK not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I can't connect to my Airport Extreme update IOS 10 my wife is.

  We all have two iPhone 6 and 64 gb & update at the same time.

  We have an ac 802.11 Airport extreme also an extreme dual band of airport & an express airport which none of us can connect to.

  We can connect to the Home Hub 6 provided by our service provider broadband with no problems but it is only in a part of the House that we are unable to connect to my office or at the back of the House.

  Tried resetting the network settings on the phone thought I might ask before having to try to reset back to factory settings base stations.

  Thank you

  FWIW, I upgraded my iPhone SE 5 and Pro iPad to iOS 10 as well, but knows me not any problems connecting to one of my base station AirPort to Wi - Fi.

  Or the other of your iPhones must all problems connecting to other networks in addition to the Home Hub Wi - Fi? In other words, are they only having problems connecting to your AirPort base station? If Yes, do you have someone nearby who also has an AirPort wireless network that you should check your iPhones with?

  In the meantime, let's take a look at the current configuration of your network. We know that you, at least, three airport base stations. What is the exact models of non - 802.11ac extreme and Express?

  These base stations are all linked back to the Home Hub with Ethernet they are all configured for a mobile network?

• Airport Extreme 802.11ac - I have a defective router again?

  Dear Apple friends,

  I reduced a problem with my Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router which I hope someone can shed some light on.

  Things I've tried:

  • Hard reset
  • Factory full reset w. of new settings.
  • Two different Apple ID (account iCloud)
  • Connection via the devices iOS (iPhone and iPad, both on v9.3.4)
  • 7.7.3 downgrade (problem).
  • New upgrade to 7.7.7 (problem).

  That is the problem.

  If I put a ID for 'Back to my Mac' Apple Airport utility > basic Station... updated and restart the router...

  

  .. .the router will not appear in Airport utility again unless I connect to it directly via IP.

  

  A Wi - Fi connection works fine but I cannot access the airport, or whatever it be connected until I have remove the back to my Mac (Apple ID) of Airport utility references.

  This router is a replacement from the Apple Store for a faulty Airport Extreme 802.11ac, who died after a few months.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. I think again that router to Apple, but before you make the trek down there, I would be a little sure that this isn't just a bug or a problem on the end of Apple.

  Thank you, in advance.

  No, you don't do anything wrong. This problem has been reported several times recently and the only 'solution' at this stage is to disable Back to My Mac on your AirPort base station, until Apple has a chance to solve this problem.

• I need to connect my Captain el to my old station of Airport extreme use. I need to get the software to allow this connection

  I upgraded to El captain in my notebook.  Now my airport extreme base station did not get recognized for my connection to printers and the mini

  is there any software to install so I can get this laptop on the network?

  The software is available, but you need... or power borrow for 10-15 minutes... a former Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with the utility AirPort 5.6.1 for Windows installed on the device.

  Sometimes users ask to see if the software is available from another source. Software not allowed is available on the Internet, but it is written by an 'unknown' author to Apple, which will provide no. help or support if you have problems with your Mac. In addition, the installation of the software without permission will require that you change (lower) some of the security settings by default on your Mac.

  Apple will not post the link to the software on this forum, even if you are willing to assume the risks of trying to use it.

• 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.

• Poor Airport Extreme WIFI coverage

  Hello

  I live in France where my Base Station is an orange "Livebox". It's a big house and I have paired my extreme AP (nine) to my Livebox router by ethernet and use an Express of the AP in the lounge which is connected via Wifi to the extreme of the AP. All works well ut strength Wifi from the extreme to the AP.

  When I'm sitting on my front patio, the Wifi signal from my Livebox shit and cheap Orange, is as good as, or better than, the signal I get from my dear AP extreme. You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  It will not be an answer you want to hear, but unfortunately Apple routers are not known for their overall performance or broadcast power same levels... so they are often upgraded by other routers at a fraction of the cost.

  On a site that is well respected, known for their tests of routers, you can see how AirPort Extreme, compared to the other routers in the performance measurement of the WiFi is concerned. (Look far down the list to confirm).

  Why I have a router from Apple?  Some reasons... (1) it helps me answer questions about the product on this forum... (2) most important reason... are that it is located in an area that is open in our House to ensure good coverage, and my wife liked the style of the better product, compared to other routers.

  In my opinion... With Apple, users pay a lot for the Apple name, the style of Apple and Apple usability.

• Airport Extreme loses the connection to the home network

  I have an Airport Extreme (AE) with Cox Internet in my house. Version AE 7.6.7 since the end of may 2016, I lost WiFi connection radomly. I had a Cox technician out who finished just change a 'filter' in our neighborhood who feed on other Cox at the reception. He said this analog filter had to be upgraded to a digital filter.  Despite this, my WiFi kept down again. According to other Threads of the community, this problem was solved by putting the IPV6 in AE parameter for "link-local only.  I did this and still it is falling.

  According to a recent post in support of Cox:

  Most of the routers to retail, especially those produced in recent years, are completely compatible with IPv6. Cox has determined that the Apple AirPort Extreme routers, including Time Capsule models, may know Internet connectivity issues when running the firmware released before May 25, 2016. For more information, contact Apple Support.

  To a Moderator: Apple will have an AE update for this problem?

  The moderators of the forum are not questions on a user to user support forum, so don't expect a response from an Apple employee.  Please contact Apple Support directly if you wish to speak directly with Apple.

  Then, Apple has already released the new firmware... 7.6.7 May 25... so it's not the question that you reference in the statement on the website of Cox. Cox was referring to a firmware sooner, like 7.6.4, for example in their declaration.

  We have seen a number of messages from other users of Cox, who reported that the new firmware has resolved connection issues that existed before.

  To find out where the real problem may lie, I suggest that you connect a computer (with the wireless turned off) directly to one of the LAN ports <>- on AirPort Extreme for a few days and keep an eye on the connection.

  Post back your results. Then, we'll know if you have a general Internet... connection problem that could be a problem of modem... or a single wireless issue.  In all cases, it will help if you provide the model number of the AirPort Extreme you have... and... he make and model number of the modem you are using at the moment.

• Airport Extreme in brick after update firmware 7.7.7

  Error while trying to update the Airport Extreme (model A1521) firmware to version 7.7.7.  After clicking on "Refresh" for the EPA in the utility AirPort app on my MBP, it seemed like it was downloading and then restart, but then the "error during firmware update" message popped up.

  Then he disappeared from the AirPort Utility app. check the physical EPA, he got a quick Orange flashing light on.

  Perform a reset by mode on "soft" apple support  No change in status in the AirPort or LED utility.

  Perform a "hard" reset No change.

  Perform a reset "factory".  Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, then fixed Orange LED for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange flashing LED forever.

  Removed all connections to the EPAS, repeated above steps with identical results.

  Tried to plug the cable to all ports, a both MBP, then in a port to a different router.  No connection.

  Base from the bottom of the EPA to inspect the connection with the ohmmeter removed rubber physical reset button. Button contacts are open when not depressed, short circuit when pressed.

  EPA appears at all in the AirPort Utility (not in "Other WiFi devices" or the other).

  Pushing the reset button on the EPA has no effect, no matter how much time or when it is pushed.

  Once the power cord is removed and inserted, the indications are always the same, no matter what I do with the reset button. Green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, Orange fixed for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange blinking forever.

  Interaction ONLY with the device, which had until this point was working perfectly for years, has been through the AirPort Utility software.  Physical interaction occurred after that the update of the firmware he bricked.  Simply, I do not understand how a botched firmware update might brick the MONKEY.  The default firmware must always be able to be loaded with the reset sequence.

  Help, please.

  You should not open it... Apple may have been told by replacing.

  Firmware updates are always dangerous... the airport less then most of the routers.

  However very rarely something can go wrong and the firmware written correctly to the ROM. This will leave the router in a State of broken forever. You need to replace unfortunately.

  He got a quick Orange flashing light on.

  Restore mode flashing quickly means that it is in...

  Perform a reset "factory".  Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, then fixed Orange LED for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange flashing LED forever.

  It flashes quickly or slowly forever?

  The ethernet light when you plug the ethernet cable?

  As far as I know, there is no firmware emergency repair method at airports... Apple has every confidence their sequence of upgrade to work, even when the firmware is delivered more wireless... always a big risk CF ethernet.

• Cannot run AirPort Extreme or Express 7.7.7 Firmware update-&gt; gray button

• How can I change the physical address associated with my Airport Extreme

  I moved, but when I look for devices by using find my iPhone devices connected to my Airport Extreme base station seem to be at my old location. How to upgrade the physical address associated with the Airport base station?

  To the best of my knowledge, there is no way for the user to do. Finally, the database of Apple will update. There is some anecdotal evidence of that having an iPhone connect to airport speeds the process.
