• Find the best modem / router configuration.

  Be 'stuck' with wimpy CenturyLink DSL service (read 4 Mbps), I try to get every ounce of speed that I can with my configuration of a Wi - Fi. The material in question is a Technicolor C1100T modem/router/WiFi and a current model Apple AirPort Extreme.

  The question is, whose Setup is faster:

  [A] C1100T in Bridge Mode (i.e. modem only) > AirPort Extreme all the PPPoE router / WiFi work, or

  [B] C1100T modem handling / PPPoE - router work > AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode, just do a Wi - Fi connection?

  The C1100T goes only up to speed "n" where the Airport manages 'ac '. So my thought is the configuration 'B' may have an advantage. I thought I would ask the collective wisdom of the community of Apple before playing with all the related parameters. Speaking of which, overall the Apple hardware, the PPPoE "Account name" is always shown as formatting as an email (e.g. [email protected]) address. In the C1100T admin settings, the PPP username (PPPoE) is in the format ABC123456789. Formats in the case of AirPort Utility parameters (i.e. it will accept Qwest format)?

  As long as we talk about press speed, are there any other tricks, for example by selecting the best channels 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (assuming that one is faster than the other)? Literally, living in the Woods, there is no one else around with any related Wi - Fi signal to interfere.

  As always, thanks for the help!

  Not trying to be cute here, but if the products work correctly, the results will be the same.

  However... speed could be one thing and another reliability.  Setting PPPoE Apple are old and is not known for their reliability.  As you know, in theory, you want the device that provides identification of connection information to connect directly to the Internet service.  This would mean that have C1100T PPPoE c would probably be a better way to do things, reliability wise.

  The C1100T goes only up to speed "n" where the Airport manages 'ac '. So my thought is the installation of 'B' may have an advantage

  Not in terms of connection to the Internet.  If you are thinking about speed on your local network, the airport would be the way to go. Just ignore the C1100T, or turn off the wireless feature if you feel that it can interfere with wireless the wireless AirPort.

  No, but I would not use PPPoE over airport.  If you have tons of time and be ready to experiment and put up with connections, more broken then you could try PPPoE on the airport.

  As long as we talk about press speed, are there any other tricks, for example by selecting the best channels 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (assuming that one is faster than the other)?

  N ° the most convenient airport at startup, it automatically scans to select a channel that meets the criteria set by Apple engineers. As soon as it finds one, he chooses.

  If someone really knew what could be the real criteria you had tons of time on your hands, in theory, it may be possible to guess and select a channel as good as who will pick up the airport.

• Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

  My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

  When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

  117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

  At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

  Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps . 

  Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

  My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

  If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

  In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

  BTW:

  1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

  2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

  Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

  Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

  Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

  If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

  Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

• What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

  I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

  The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

  Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

  Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

• 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

• We moved the airport and the modem, and now 7660 printer does not print wireless more

  We have a new Airport Extreme, connected with a cable modem and a HP Photosmart 7660 printer connected to the airport with a USB cable.  Everything worked fine, then we move the cable and modem - now, we can print via the USB cable, the laptop can get online, and the printer appears in the printer list in system preferences. But we cannot print wireless. We are under Snow Leopard on a Mac laptop. We have tried to disconnect and reconnect the cables varied in different combinations.

  When you try to print we get the following message if poster in the box print that 'cannot send 8192 bytes of print data! (USB write error) "

  Now what?

  Thanks for any help!

• The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

  I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

  Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

  I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

  I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

  Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

  I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

  It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

• Not switching devices not between the bases of the airport?

  Hi all!

  I write because that through my research, I have not found quite the answer.

  I have 5 Airport extreme (AP) in my house. One of them is connected to the ISP (this also ISP DHCP box) box. All of them are set up to extend wifi as a long string.

  The problem I have is that I can't connect the AP via ethernet, creating a network of "roving". Is it possible to approach but?

  Because currently my devices switch base station that I propose. If I was connected to the AP1 and I'm still in the range of it, I don't connect at the base next to me (which has a faster speed of the internet) and my connection is slow/drops.

  Is there a solution?

  Thank you!

  Best

  Alex

  The problem here is that wireless between the airports will not quite work... If they work at all.

  You have a 'main' AirPort Extreme connected to your ISP modem/router using an Ethernet cable, and the airport is to 'create' the main wireless network... is that correct?

  And, you want the other 4 airports to extend wireless signal from the 'main' airport... is that correct?

  If so, then all the following 'rules' must be applied:

  (1) your 'main' AirPort Extreme must be at the heart of your home

  (2) each airport expansion must be on the same distance from the AirPort Extreme

  (3) each extension airport should be located, as it is closer to the 'main' than any other Airport Extreme AirPort which is the extension of the network

  The reason is that Apple offer wireless are works such as the hub and the spokes of a wheel.  AirPort Extreme 'main' would be 'hub' and each of the 4 Extenders would be located at the end of the separate 4 "rays". In this way, each extension connects directly to the 'main'... airport which is the only way an airport can extend wireless network.

  In other words, you cannot "extend" the network several times. Although you can have multiple extensions, each of them must be connected directly to the "main" airport  They cannot connect to another airport that extends the network already and lay it again.

  So, please tell us how well your current configuration meets the 3 above for a comprehensive wireless network.

• 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.

• What is best modem cable to twin with new extreme apple 802.11 ac

  I have an old motorola sb6121 paired with new apple 802.11ac extreme I bought yesterday and after 12 hours of trying everything I keep getting disconnected every few seconds... I have read all the message concerned and tried them all to play nice... When I have more signals 85 Mbps because I pay for the explosion of comcast.  I want a new modem and would like to know what is recommended... I see zoom 5141j is recommended, but I see zoom a modem cable new 16 x 4... It would be to my advantage to go with vx 16 x 4 8 x 4 channels at the time of the twinning with extreme? Thank you

  What is best modem cable pair with the new 802.11ac Apple extreme

  Questions like this are indeed impossible to answer... especially because that person has tested every modem with an AirPort Extreme to see if there is really a modem 'best '.  Even if it were possible to come with a modem 'best' but... it would be judicious bit to choose this modem and then knowledge that was not supported by Comcast.

  Therefore, a better plan for you may be to search a list of modems supported by Comcast, narrow your choices down to 3-4 products, then post this list here and ask other users of Comcast comments on how the products have performed for them.  You can also consider posting on a forum online from Comcast as well.

  Regarding your question about the new Zoom modem, this product is really new, so it will be some time before a work experience can be developed for this product. It seems that the new Zoom modem is designed primarily for working with connections to high speed... 600, 700, 800 + Mbps Internet speeds. So, unless you plan to upgrade to a plan of Internet connection with these types of speeds in the near future, you probably don't need a modem with this type of functionality.

• Optimal, set up for the airport and the power network line?

  Hoping to any network gurus can advise on the optimal configuration for my network.  Current configuration is as follows.  1 Zyxel DSL modem configured to act as the router, PPPoE (not the bridge mode) mode, which is the default value.  2. Airport Time Capsule (ATC) connected to the modem via an ethernet cable plugged into the WAN ATC port.  ATC configured in Bridge mode.  Adapter network line connected to the LAN of the ATC port.  2nd line network adapter is connected to the opposite end of the House where the Time Capsule wireless signal is weak to non-existent.  Airport Express (AE) plugged into 2nd network adapter line.  I have a lot of devices (computers, printers, cell phones, DVR, etc.) which must connect wirelessly to the network.  Here are my questions:

  1. is it better to act as the router, rather than on the bridge, as I have to reconfigure the modem in Bridge mode and the most convenient way to connect using PPPoE Airport Airport?  Or is it not important?

  2. my hope is that by using the network adapters and the AE in the part of my house with the worst WiFi signal, I can push the range of my network and all devices to give a good signal.  My hope is that the devices will be connected to any signal is stronger.  At present, ATC and EI do not have the same network name (or password).  It is better for them to broadcast 2 differently named networks, or both would be they networks of broadcast with the same name and password.  Or is it not important?  Is how important it that the ATC is able 802.11ac, EI is just 802.11n?  For reasons not clear to me, even though I have several 802.11ac devices (MacBook Pro and Nexus5x), they are on the 2.4 ghz band (I even if ca is the 5 ghz).  Don't know if something is set up wrong on my ATC.

  All the equipment is running the latest version of the software (OS X, iOS, Android, etc.).

  Thanks for any advice.

  1. is it better to act as the router, rather than on the bridge, as I have to reconfigure the modem in Bridge mode and the most convenient way to connect using PPPoE Airport Airport?  Or is it not important?

  Doesn't matter, unless there is a special feature like the network option of comments on the airport... that would require that the airport be configured as router.  Airports are not known for their reliability, PPPoE, so it is best to have the modem or modem/router to provide the credentials of the PPPoE connection.

  2. my hope is that by using the network adapters and the AE in the part of my house with the worst WiFi signal, I can push the range of my network and all devices to give a good signal.  My hope is that the devices will be connected to any signal is stronger.

  If the two access points use the same wireless network name and password, Mac will do a nice job of automatically move from one access point to another to pick up the best quality signal as they move home... but iPhones, iPads, and most of the PC will not.  If you name the two networks as well, so you will need to get used to temporarily disable WiFi on iPhone, iPad, etc. When you move from one region to the other. Then, when the device is in the new location, turn on the WiFi and the device usually pick the strongest signal from the nearest access point.

  If you use names of separate network for access points, you need to manually switch networks on each device whenever the camera moves from one region to the other.

  Is how important it that the ATC is able 802.11ac, EI is just 802.11n?

  Well, you know that the Express is not "ac" capable, so any device "ac" close the Express will connect at low speed "n".  You will probably not notice a difference in respect if your Internet speed is less the Express features.  If you copy large files from one computer to another or backup on the network, then a device that connects to the Express is going to be slower than a device capable of "ac" that connects to the ATC.

  For reasons not clear to me, even though I have several 802.11ac devices (MacBook Pro and Nexus5x), they are on the 2.4 ghz band (I even if ca is the 5 ghz)

  Everything in the wireless is a compromise. In other words, to get something, you must give up another.  "ca" is used to that in the band 5 GHz, so if your devices are connect 2.4 GHz, they connect to a slower 2.4 GHz signal.

  Here is the compromise...

  5 GHz signals have capacities of speed much higher than the 2.4 GHz signals... BUT... 5 GHz signals are significantly weaker than the 2.4 GHz signals. So you're really not going to get the benefit of 5 GHz, if your device "ac" is in the same room or it has line-of-sight with the router "ac".

  If a device of "ac" is a room or two away from the router "ac"... the device will probably connect 2.4 GHz... because these signals are more powerful penetration of walls and other obstacles a lot better than 5 GHz can never hope.  It is also possible that the 2.4 GHz signal several rooms away the router will also be the fastest signal at this location, because the signal slows down more it moves the router.  5 GHz quickly signals really slow down.

• Device dropped offline to the Airport network

  Hello

  My Genesis 3 iPad was connected to the net one night and the next morning was not.  Check my AirPort Extreme shows current update and Internet connection on all other devices (10).  The wi - fi address is listed and shows the 'excellent' connection, but the orange dot feared to the internet.  I restarted the airport and iPad so much that reset the network on the iPad.

  The iPad connects to the network through the personal hotspot on my phone.

  Thanks for any help

  The point of 'orange' would indicate that there is a problem with the connection to the Internet from the router or the modem.

  I suggest that you try to perform a new round of full power of your network hardware to try to solve this problem. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Note: You can skip the part to accomplish a 'default' reset on the base station to this point. Please post back your results.

• Devices to connect to the airport, but not to the Internet

  Hi all; Here's my situation:

  I just bought a new Airport Extreme to replace my old router (Linksys). In our House, we have two iPhones 6, as well as the iPad, Apple TV and MacBook Pro that were all bought again this year. All these things were able to connect to the internet using our old wireless router.

  As I have configured and installed at the airport, various devices have been able to connect without being able to connect to the internet (i.e. AirPort Utility, the airport connection is a green dot, while the actual internet connection is an orange): first it was the MacBook having this problem while the phones and the iPad have been completely connected. After I simply rebooted everything several times - i.e. the modem, router, and MacBook - I finally got the MacBook fully connected (without really changing all the settings, which are all entered correctly). Now, however, it is the two iPhones that will connect the airport but not actually in the internet.

  Any ideas? I must say, these strange little problems idiopathic who seem to always pop up with Apple products are starting to really bother me... I never got my MacBook to connect to the Apple TV via AirPlay.

  Any time you change the material or providers of Internet services, networking, it's always a good idea to perform a complete recycling of your network equipment power. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Please post back your results.
