Any version of Airport running in Lion or later utility that will handle an Airport Extreme 2004?

We have a very old Airport Extreme, 2004 which works well, but is seriously crimping our internet speeds via Comcast (confirmed today using an ethernet direct connection to the cable modem, sparking a jump from ≍14mbps to ≍57mbps). I would like to give this to a friend who has nothing similar, but she runs, as am I, a MacBook Pro newish. My MBPro ONLY runs a version of Airport utility which can not handle the old Airport Extreme base station and the version that CAN cannot operate on a system of snow leopard after.

Is there a version of Airport utility which can operate on the MacBookPro, Lion or later, who would manage the old Airport Extreme Base Station?

Thank you very much

Owen

Is there a version of Airport utility which can operate on the MacBookPro, Lion or later, who would manage the old Airport Extreme Base Station?

If you have a Lion (10.7.1) or (10.7.2), you can install AirPort Utility 5.6 on this operating system.

Something more than 10.7.2, including Lion mountain (10.8.x), Mavericks (10.9.x), Yosemite (10.10.x) or El Capitan (10.11.x) will not allow version 5.x of AirPort Utility must be installed on the Mac.

If you... or you can borrow for 10-15 minutes... a Mac under Leopard or Snow Leopard or a PC with installed on the device AirPort Utility, you can configure the airport the more it.  Once the AirPort Extreme is set up and working, Macs using newer operating systems will be able to connect to the network... but they cannot make any configuration changes to the AirPort Extreme.

  • "Bluetooth is not supported by any version of windows servers... what exactly does that mean?

    I am trying to set up a bluetooth connection between my mobile (Nokia X 6) and the new Acer lap top of page that is running windows 7.  In the past, when using Vista and my Samsung phone it was easy through "control panel."  With this new Windows7 however, it does seem to be an option to set up bluetooth.  There is however "help" a section ' how to set up bluetooth or other wireless connections, which begins by saying that you can transfer information via bluetooth and other wireless means, he then goes on to describe these "other" methods wireless, adding a note that "Bluetooth is is not supported by any version of windows server.  The lap top itself has a long side button Wi - Fi bluetooth button, which don't "turn on" or turn on when I press on it.  I'm not very technical interest and just use the computer for my music and photo organizing and other simple functions.  Apologies if it sounds ridiculous, but I think I'm getting conflicting information, is always available for use with windows bluetooth 7, if so does that mean say "he is not supported by windows servers?  I just want to know if I forget something really obvious or if I should stop trying altogether with all bluetooth and focuss on other file transfer methods?  All the advice in plain language or pointing me in the right direction will be so appreciated, thank you very much Frances

  • Is it normal for my AirPort Extreme to run his fan on and off every 2 ' minutes throughout the day?

    I have a 2nd ae put in place to extend our network.  The second flashing yellow from time to time, always in the works, but the fan runs constantly II never heard our other use on the fan.  Never.

    If you ask about the current 'tour' in the form of version of AirPort Extreme, the fan runs constantly... (and normally very quietly)... as long as the AirPort Extreme has the power.

    This is the model you have?  If so, then the airport is defective. If the product is less than one year, or you have AppleCare implemented on one of your Macs... and... He airport most convenient is less than 3 years, Apple will replace the device for you.

    If your AirPort Extreme is not covered... and you are an it yourself type of person... you can open the AirPort Extreme and are looking for a replacement of the fan.  This article will give some tips on the opening of the product. Note that section provides the number of manufacturer and model of the fan, so you can use it to search for a replacement.

  • 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.

  • What is the mode of connection (ME918LL/A) current Airport Extreme support?

    I have a setup of the airport with two airports of previous generation connected in Bridge mode. (NOTE that this is not the same thing as a network via a wifi - connection Wi - Fi). I want to upgrade one of the units. I believe I read somewhere that the current model of (ME918LL/A) does not support bridge mode but can't find information about this in the specifications of the device.

    Bridge ME918LL/a mode?

    I believe I read somewhere that the current model of (ME918LL/A) does not support bridge mode but can't find information about this in the specifications of the device.

    Your feelings are what they are, but as any airport, Bridge Mode router is available as an option in router Mode for the 802.11ac current version of AirPort Extreme.

    Here is a screenshot of the ME911LL/A 802.11ac version of an Airport Extreme on the network here.

  • 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.

  • Exit Airport Extreme seems slow

    I have the latest version of Airport Extreme.  I completed a test of speed directly to my cable modem and it shows a download speed of 750MBps.  When my Airport Extreme is connected my typical speed is 30 Mbps (on my iPhone 6 + and in the same room as the router, the test is over).  I may have something misconfigured or connected incorrectly.  Anyone can shed some light on this subject?

  • Is there a software update for Airport Extreme? Random disconnect

    Is there a software update for Airport Extreme? Random disconnection, have to keep unplugging it, done the hard reset, no change

    Is there a software update for Airport Extreme?

    No, if you ask for something 'new '.

    You don't specify what model of AirPort Extreme you have, but if it's the current 802.11ac 'tour'-shaped version, the last update of the firmware was well over a year. Make sure you have the version installed on the AirPort Extreme 7.7.3 .

    If you have an old 'flat' 802.11n or version "square" AirPort Extreme firmware update 7.6.4, who is 3 years and more.

    Please specify on the version you have on your AirPort Extreme.

  • How will I know if my Airport Extreme has the latest firmware?  And (not related) how to change the password used to connect to my network?

    I think I bought the latest version of Airport Extreme.  It is the unit which is rectangular, is about 6 to 7 w., etc.  I have some basic questions that I do not understand:

    1. How will I know if I have the latest firmware for this device?  I read a few posts that make it sound as if it was just automatically updates.  Is this true?

    2. can someone tell me how to change the password used to connect to my wireless network?

    Thank you very much!

    ACS currently cannot be installed on a server running Windows 2008 R2.

    As an alternative, you can install ACS on a member server.  Authentication

    ACS uses the local machine net API authentication both compared to a 2008

    R2 domain will work.  The Remote Agent can also be installed on a 2008 R2
