• WDS Airport Roaming vs vs Extended Network

  Hello friends,

  In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed. Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

  If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

  Thank you.

  In a roaming network, all airports have the same wireless network name and wireless security settings. If I'm not mistaken in WDS also the same rule should be followed.

  It is basically correct. Routers for Apple, there are three types of networks "scopes": 1) expanded that using wireless connections between fixed stations, 2) Roaming using connections between base stations, & 3) Wireless Distribution System (WDS) wired. WDS uses also all wireless connections.

  The first two replaced WDS that was designed to be used only with the old base station 802.11 g. He has a major advantage. You can extend a network in a series as employed the use of a "main", "relay", and "distance" base stations. This feature is not embedded with the new models, elongated or Roaming.

  Is also applicable to a network of Airport Extreme Extended (1 main base station connected to a broader base station)?

  For the most part, Yes. The extended base station that's exactly right and the extension of the primary Wi - Fi network. So it would have the same network name and use the same type of security and password.

  If this is the case then a user can move freely between these extremes of the airport with the same user name and password in any scenario 3. So what is the difference besides the AEs interconnected via ethernet and wireless in 3 different topology?

  The main difference is overall performance of bandwidth of a Wi - Fi. Maintaining an extensive network using wireless connections only requires treatment of additional network traffic. This overload can reduce the bandwidth available to normal wireless traffic. This problem does not exist with a roaming network.

  The other problem with a network extended wireless all is loss of bandwidth. Each added to the extended network, base station reduces overall bandwidth almost in half. Again, this is not a problem with the network of mobile type.

  Finally, with a network extended wireless all base stations which extend to extend the hand to the same bandwidth it receives from the hand to this place. So the wireless clients connected to one of the extension of base stations will produce ever and when then are connected to the main.

• Hard, my time capsule airport is connected to my network. I also use it as my Wi - Fi. The time capsule disconnects from the network periodically and does not restore I have to restart to reconnect. What problem I have

  Hard, my time capsule airport is connected to my network. I also use it as my Wi - Fi and the backup. He constantly falls the internet connection and I have to restart the so he can reconnect. What problem I have?

  What brand and model of your Internet modem you have the Capsule Time (TC) by Ethernet? What exact model of the TC do you have? ... and who is your ISP?

• Using a Time Capsule airport on a new wifi network

  I'm trying to connect my TC Airport to a new wifi network to another location. It worked very well at the original location, used to extend an existing network of wifi, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. In the new location, I'd rather have a wireless connection. I have tried several times to do a factory reset full and then I see the TC from the airport using the Airport utility, but it does not put in place to extend the wifi network my iMac is on (he sees a nearby network as well). I just simply want to configure my TC from the airport most convenient to save my iMac! Any ideas? Thank you!

  The TC must either connect to wireless to another router from apple... or it must be connected by ethernet... he can't extend wireless any other brand.

  If all of the TC is to is to make backups of iMac... Plug it directly by ethernet on the iMac... and use this configuration.

  Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

  If you want to have as part of the network... plug in ethernet on the main router... and the backup more wireless... but it becomes a problem where the computer don't connect directly to the TC now.

• Separate networks with wireless printing

  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and it is connected wireless to router in our company.  The office we have is connected to a separate network and I was wondering how to connect to them using the WiFi feature because USB is used for a separate desktop computer. The printer connects to the router, but is unable to use the IP address, because this isn't the same network.

  Hello

  They must be on the same network. Option: It is an ePrint printer, you can send (email) to his e-mail address to print file formats supported. Supported file formats:

  Microsoft Word
  Microsoft PowerPoint
  Microsoft Excel (HP highly recommends that preview you documents in Excel before printing)
  Text (.txt) files
  PDF
  HTML
  Images (bmp, jpg, png, gif, tiff)

  Kind regards.

• Can the utility Airport automatically adjust a mobile wireless network to a non roaming wireless network?

  Greetings,

  I have expanded my wireless Ethernet (network roaming) cable network.

  The Time Machine (primary base station) and the Airport Extreme (base station #2) lights is green and two base stations work properly when played back via the AirPort Utility.

  I disconnected the cable Cat5 LAN of the time Machine (happening at the WAN on the Airport Extreme connection) assuming that the go-ahead would begin orange flashing on the Airport Extreme.  He did not.  Everything always worked as far as I could tell.  If I had the cable connected or not, everything worked again 'normal' as it should as far as I could tell.

  So here's my question: by disconnecting the ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme, does mean that automatically toggled Airport Airport Extreme for a network utility not travelling?  In other words, rather than extend the network via ethernet, wireless network is expanded wireless?

  What Miss me?

  Return to the configuration with the Ethernet cable connected to AirPort Extreme

  Open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme, then click on modify in the window that appears

  Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the screen

  Check the current setting of the network Mode

  He must "create a wireless network.

  Is it?

  If this is not the case, the AirPort Extreme has never configured for a roaming set up in the first place.

• Airport Express, Time Capsule and Airport Express using the same network

  Just moved into a new House and this is what I install.  I have 7 Port wired into the House.

  Closet of network in the Garage:

  • Cable modem
  • Airport Express
  • netgear switch 8 ports
  • It works pretty well.  All my wired connections work fine.  Wireless is quite good but cove not enough of space in my house.

  Think about adding my airport express capsule of time in my office - plugged into one of the hard wired connections.  Who works AND let me wish the WIFI?

  Thank you!

  Yes fine, assuming that first test you the Ethernet port in the office by connecting a computer (with WIFI disabled on the computer) using a spare Ethernet cable runs to ensure that the computer can get a good connection in this way.

  Put the airport Time Capsule to create a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password in your existing network. Apple installation "Wizard" automatically configure airport Time Capsule in the correct setting of the Bridge Mode for the device.

• Can I use an old station Airport Express to extend your network using a new Airport Express Terminal?

  I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?

  By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.

  However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

• Addition of AirPort Extreme allows a Local network behave strange

  Hello

  At the moment is have this setup at home.

  DSL-> provider Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule

  The airport Time Capsule is the generation model current 5th A1470 of running in mode Bridge with the router form my provider and implements a wireless network. It all works very well, but in my office working there WiFi coverage is a little low is a desire to grow with another airport.

  This is the configuration of the construction:

  DSL-provider of Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule-> LAN-> Airport Extreme >

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in Bridge Mode and extend the wireless network. When I perform this configuration, the problems start. All devices bad connection to the internet, features are added several times on the network (also the Airport express are added some time because it appears with a (2) after East), in Airport utility, I get constantly disconnected status and it is very difficult to resolve, because I lose the connection even if I'm hard wired to the airport. I can also access devices that have a static IP address as the same router (192.168.1.1) or my home server. Thus, it seems that my local network is malfunctioning.

  When I unplug the Airport Extreme, everything works well again. I searched but not found this problem.

  Thanks for the help.

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in bridge and extend wireless networkMode.

  You can NOT extend wireless with the AE plugged into the TC.

  Your choice of plug in ethernet is good.

  Your wireless installation must be to create a wireless network... you can use the same name as the TC's wireless or different... It is totally up to you.

  What you did is due to a loop with the connection by both wireless and ethernet.

  If you want to use extend wireless... much slower option... then you disconnect the ethernet AE of the TC... If the connection is purely wireless.

• Solve a problem by getting an Airport Extreme to join my network.

  Greetings,

  I have a WiFi network, consisting of a router TimeMachine (primary Base Station), the AirPort Extreme Base Station and expansion of the Airport Express network

  I receive notification messages for these devices utility AirPort (Enter Password) - probably updates lately.  I do not know the passwords for these devices because I've had them so long and after initial installation and many updates of OS X I couldn't find entries for them in Keychain Access.

  Today, I made an attempt to reset the Airport Extreme to try and go through the installation routine and have the opportunity to create a new password and save it.  First of all, I did a soft reset and then tried a hard reset.  The results were the same for either - one error as follows...  Airport Extreme fits factory currently.  It is plugged in and running with a light orange blinking.  She appears in the WiFi menu as a new Airport base station.  Selecting menu launches Airport utility and a dialog box drop-down connection.  The dialog box States "collecting information on your network - preparation, Joining Airport Extreme and finally"an unexpected error has occurred, try again"there is a very brief message (.5sec) before the last error - try again.»  In my view, that it is said 'Extreme Base Station on your network'.  This could mean that because the TimeMachine works as the main base station, the Airport Extreme Base cannot be joined so that I can Setup/modify it.

  Ultimately I'd like to get the issue resolved for all three devices password, but I'm a little gushy now after this attempt

  Someone has an idea how to proceed.

  Thanks Dave

  There are several things going on, but you can fix pretty quickly is the password. It is a piece of information that you should really have - now and for the future. You can reset your password by sticking the end of a paper clip in the back of the airport for more than ten seconds. You will see the configuration on the Airport utility screen. Do not forget your password in the future.  At the end of this operation, you can see a firmware view - to take care of that.

  Once your airport is reset, and the password is updated and updates, you can see if there are any problems - if any. If there are additional questions, you can include a photo of the Airport utility screen.

• Adding multiple Airport Express to a router/network Apple no?

  Hi all

  You are looking for assistance.

  Until yesterday, I had an Internet ADSL connection and home network WiFi connection that consisted of a base no routing modem, connected to a time Capsule. The extended wireless network had 3 Airport Express connected.

  My ISP (TPG in Australia) past my ADSL to the new NBN yesterday and have sent me a new HUAWEI Modem/wireless router. That's why I need is no longer my Time Capsule for routing.

  My question is now; Can I connect my A-Express to the router not Apple to create a large network similar to what I had before? I did a little reading and apparently not!

  Thanks in advance.

  Can I connect my A-Express to the router not Apple to create a large network similar to what I had before?

  Sorry, but no.  Feature of "extend" Apple owns. The Express devices can only wireless "extend" the signal from another router from Apple.

  You can still use the time Capsule to provide a network... wireless signal and the expresses may 'extend '.

  You could use the wireless of the Huawei product for "guest", or disable wireless on the device if you do not need two wireless networks.

• Airport Express not on my network more

  My Airport Express has worked wonderfully for years. Today when I tried to use AirPlay, it shows that the Airport Express Terminal dropped out of the network. The network works fine everywhere else, iMac, iPhone, iPad Pro...  I checked the plug and it works fine. Also, I have plugged and unplugged the power cord from the socket and rear of the machine.  I also tried to reset. What can I do else? The Airport express has just been? I had about 4-5 years.

  Five years, on average, is about that for a router designed for home use, so it can be discussed here.

  Suggest that you perform a hard reset on the Express and try to set it up again. To do this, turn on the Express for a few minutes, then press and hold the reset button on the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release.  Allow a minute for the Express restart to a slow status of amber light flashes.

  Try to implement the Express again. If the Express will not properly configure, or it will not stay on the network, it's time for a new AirPort Express Terminal.

• Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

  I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

  You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

• How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?

  I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!

  Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).

  I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)

  An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.

  In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.

  Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.

  One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.

  But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.

  You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".

  The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

• Terminal Airport express "could not extend network" after working fine for a week

  I bought an express airport last weekend and got on the rise and working on the 2nd floor of my house without any problem.  I had problems with reception shotty in my son, which is the furthest from our extreme airport room.  On Wednesday night, trying to connect to the woman in his room I continued loss of reception and so when I looked at my express it's orange flashing.  Pulled up to the airport utility and it says that the connection was excellent, but that the airport base station could not extend the wireless network.  The only thing I can think is that I used my iphone to listen to music through my apple tv the same day and I'm not sure if that set something off somehow. I have the express several times using the soft/hard factory redefined and methods without success.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  BTW, I created this as an extended network. Try to read and understand any bypass but do not know if this is the right way to go
