  • Impossible to extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network

    I have a wireless network set up with a time Capsule airport 4th generation.  I'm trying to take my old AirPort Extreme wireless 3rd generation. I have double. Kettle has implemented, but I get the status message on the extreme that it cannot extend the network.  I can get a strong signal on my iPhone from the point that I have placed extreme itching so I'm close enough to the time Capsule.

    Could I use a connection by current bearer through my home wiring to the extreme and extend it like that?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps closely and report on your results.

    Power off time Capsule airport.

    Wait 10 to 15 seconds

    Power up Time Capsule airport

    Reset the AirPort Extreme back to default factory

    Set up AirPort Extreme still extend wireless signal of the time Capsule

  • HP Photosmart C4795 with Apple Airport Extreme Wireless router - cable PC problem

    Hello

    I searched, but I can't quite find an exact match for my problem.

    I have a new HP desktop computer running Windows 7, and I attach it to my wireless router which is an Apple Airport Extreme.  I have attached my HP C4795 printer to the USB port on the * router *.  In theory, the USB key should pass through, so that the office will think it's a printer "connected", while also allowing us to print remotely from our laptops (via the router).

    Unfortunately, while portable computers can print wireless very well, the * office * Guard 'lose' the printer, thinking that it is in offline mode.  Even when it shows 'online' (after my relocation via "Add a printer"), still error-out print jobs.

    Can someone help me understand how this works?  The printer works fine, btw, if I disconnect the USB cable between the router and plug directly to the PC, if it isn't something directly with the printer or the desktop, but rather the * combination * of running through the Apple Airport Extreme router.

    Thank you

    Thank you, once again, Jim.

    I think I have stumbled on the solution.  I did a reading online on Apple application 'Hello', and how he felt necessary for Apple devices, like the airport, knit with device sharing.  I forgot that the installation of the airport disk had said something Hello installation, but I discovered on my Wired HP Win 7 PC menu programs, called 'Hello Printer Utility' or something, and I launched it, selected the C4795 in the dialog box, and all seems to be put in place (i.e. the printer suddenly showed as 'online' and I could print from my desktop wired as well as wireless laptop).

    Success!

    Thanks for all your help on this.  Now, all I need is to get my WD My Book external/sharing the hard drive to work as well!  Unfortunately, I do not see here a "Hello Hard Disk Utility", but I feel somehow that morning will be the answer.  I just understand it.

    Thank you

    Fact to have integrated Wi - Fi AirPort Extreme middle of my iMac (early 2009 model) wireless networking is wireless?

    Yes, this does mean that it can access wireless internet if you have a router like Terminal Airport Express or Airport Extreme wireless. Assuming you're not planing to carry your iMac autour with you and use it at Starbucks.

  • Airport Extreme network 4G connection

    I currently have the following configuration for my internet appliances:

    I have an Airport Extreme unit serving wireless three units Airport Express to extend WiFi coverage throughout the House. Physically connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet are two televisions Panasonic who can access the same places predetermined via the internet (for example, BigPond movies and television, People, ABC iView, SBS OnDemand). To enable connectivity to other sites such as Netflix, Stan etc every Panasonic TV has its own unit of Apple TV connected to Airport Extreme via WiFi.

    I use Airport Extreme for all my other internal needs such as web connectivity MacBook and iPhone.

    The Airport Extreme WAN port is so physically connected to the ADSL modem and line phone Telstra for the Exchange, which is about 4 km.

    The problem is that the speed of download of the ADSL 2 + are poor, maxing out at about 3.5mbps. When I listen to the live broadcast of MotoGP and World Superbike racing the picture often freezes while he puts in buffer. Watched movies via Netflix and Stan often freezes too.

    I just ran a speed test on the Telstra Mobile 4 G network and I got a download speed of 111.94Mbps 41.77Mbps upload speed.

    Now, I'm thinking it would be great if I could connect my home network to the internet via their WiFi 4 G device X Pro Advanced.

    My question is this:

    Is it possible to connect the Airport Extreme to the Telstra WiFi 4 G device and the use of the mobile network for my internet and get rid of the ADSL modem? I don't think I can use USB Extreme airport connection, I think that the port is only to connect a printer, but I do not know if the Airport Extreme talk wireless Telstra 4 G device. Documentation of Telstra said their device will connect up to 10 devices using WiFi, but I do not know if there would be problems with the Airport Extreme router to talk to her.

    After spending heaps on all these units of Apple (1 x Airport Extreme) and 3 x Airport Express I don't want to lose, but if there is no way to Airport Extreme wireless unit of Telstra (or if this method is ridiculous) so maybe I might be able to get the device of Telstra to talk to all my other WiFi devices directly. Then, I might be able to sell the extreme and expresses it.

    I had a discussion with Apple Support through their chat session, but the person with which I spoke was not able to help.

    Thanks in advance.

    You need a device that is able to connect via Ethernet to the AirPort Extreme base station.

    With a plain/direct USB 4 G modem, a router broadband mobile sometimes can act in Bridge mode and thus provide a conversion method. For example, Dovado has these routers, but their modem (http://www.dovado.com/en/support/modems) compatibility list appears to cite that a single Telstra USB 4 G modem (ZTE) which supports the mode bridge.

    Your question indicates, however, that the 4G modem is actually a mobile access point (providing a local Wi - Fi network). If so, it may or may not be possible to use the wireless Ethernet Bridge (maybe even a model of Apple AirPort Express appropriate) to join this hotspot wireless and then connect via Ethernet to the entrance of the AirPort Extreme. This is all experimental, however. Various problems, including double NAT, are to be expected.

  • Thinking of adding Airport Extreme for Google Fiber

    Hello world. Wanted to start a new question related to Google fiber... slightly different from the issue of Back2Mac earlier.

    I just Google fiber. House is wired throughout with CAT6. Wired connection works fine. Wireless is great, sometimes, but do not receive the beach or the consistency we want.

    Can I add an Airport Extreme, hard connected to the Google fiber network box (which is a router, "PNG" for short) and everything work well and be safe?

    There is a lot of information out there, but most are very technical and I think talking to try to take the PNG of the equation all together. I don't need or want to do. Looking to replace PNG with a wireless Airport Extreme wireless. I think that all that I have to connect the Airport Extreme to PNG by wire, set the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and "create a wireless network" and disable wireless of PNG.

    I have not bought the Airport Extreme and wouldn't bother, if it will be technically above my head. I've seen many references to static port forwarding, DMZ, IP, etc.. Are there others that should be configured to secure my installation? In addition, the activity of the network of wired and wireless devices will share work together (for example, iPhone wireless to AppleTV wired antenna)?

    Thank you and appreciate any help anyone has for a novice with little network experience!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the ports on the fibre-optic LAN <>router - port WAN "O" on the AirPort Extreme.

    Turn AirPort Extreme for a minute or two.

    Click the WiFi menu at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of new AirPort base station.

    Click on AirPort Extreme just below this list.

    Who will get the facility operational Apple "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then display a screen similar to the example below, except that you will see a picture of the AirPort Extreme.

    Name of the network... Type a short and simple name that you want to call the wireless network

    Base station... Enter a device name short and simple that you want to use for AirPort Extreme

    Password... Type a password that will be used for the wireless network and a base station

    Check... Type the same password to confirm

    Click next

    The "Wizard" will configure everything for you automatically. ... then you don't have to worry about things like the 'bridge', 'security' mode or other parameters.

    When you see the message Setup is complete, click done, and you're done.

  • My AirPort Extreme end not implemented with the help of AirPort Utility

    Bought a used AirPort Extreme (Genesis 4) of a person who showed me that he worked at home. When I try to set up as a Wireless extender to my last existing AirPort Extreme, he will not carry out synchronization upward with AirPort Utility. It appears as a new extreme, but get a message 'unexpected error' before or after the name. Have you tried to reset the two while it is powered and turning the as explained in the help.

  • the Airport extreme, passing the spam of the printer

    I get the impressions of regular spam on my printer connected to my Airport Extreme wireless.  Is there a way to externally control access to my printer?

    HP LaserJet 1320 <-Apple Airport Extreme <-Motorola Surfboard cable modem <-Comcast

    By default, all incoming ports on the airport base stations are closed. This printer is connected to the extreme by Ethernet or USB?

    If by USB, there is at least, a setting you can check using AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the extreme and then, select change.
    • Click on the Printers tab.
    • Clear (uncheck) the option "share printers over the Internet using Hello."
    • Select Update and allow the base station restart.

  • The Airport Extreme has download slow unless its an apple product

    I need help.  I have an Airport Extreme router.  I run a HP all in one office, two smart TV, Wii and two boxes on my router.  Not all work at the same time, nor do two pass at the same time.

    I check my router on Mac speed: 100 Mbit/s easy.  I check my iphone: 100 Mbps.  I checked the HP desktop computer: 30-50 Mbps.  I haven't checked the Wii, Smart TVs do not open always Netflix, my boxes go slow and buffer for long periods of time.

    There must be a setting that does not allow non-Apple products to run more slowly.  I pay 100 Mbps and expect to receive 100 Mbps on the Airport Extreme for all products, not just Apple products.

    What I could try or have I missed that should be done so all non-Apple products get the speed of download and Apple products?

    I called support and they had me change the channels in the configuration of the Airport Extreme wireless.  That did not help.  I changed them back and now the iPhone runs slower, below 50 Mbps upload when you fill out a speed test on www.speedtest.com.  I'm sitting in the same place.  It makes no sense at all.

  • Problems with COX Gigablast fiber Airport extreme WiFi

    I recently installed internet service from COX Gigablast fiber and chose to stay with my AirPort Extreme wireless routers (2), rather than use the Netgear router which they provided.  I didn't think anything of it, because technology that makes my installation said "we get the same speed with the Airport Extreme, as we do the Netgear... ", so I don't think much.  During installation I was getting 950Mbps the two download and upload via hard cable connection and 300-400Mbps over a wireless connection.  Over the next day, I noticed that Netflix was serving an image low resolution for TV, as if it was on a wifi network limited.  After speed tests at Speedtest.net, the wired connection speed was very erratic and the WiFi had dropped to ~ 30Mbps.  I reset the Airport extreme routers, but in vain.

    I had a COX tech come out and he said that AirPort Extreme should have IPV6 'turned off '.  This seems to have fixed the instability of the wired connection.

    Wireless, however, is always obismal!  Has anyone experience this problem?  If so, I'd appreciate it really any resolution.  The COX Tech told me that they informed Apple that they have a bug with the Airport Extreme, when it is used with their service Gigablast, and that "after the problem Apple's repeated refusals, they had just been Apple that was with AirPort Extreme and not with COX."  He also told me that I was myself because they guarantee the speed of connection of line lasts, "because there are too many variables when it comes to WiFi signal."

    Any input would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

    Thanks for this post!  And for being the Guinea pig on this issue.

    Just, I, too, had installed Gigablast and uses the supplied Netgear router.  I just bought a new AirPort Extreme to manage the speed of concert and wondered whether to execute directly on the modem fiber or hard wire off the Netgear router.

    Hope someone at Apple can solve this problem quickly.

  • HP OfficeJet L7780 802.11 g - why it cannot find my Apple Airport Extreme?

    I bought a HP officeJet L77380 all-in-one printer/fax, etc. It is designated in 802.11 g I turned the radio network / wireless 'on '. When I choose Network/Wireless Wizard I get a rotating cursor and the message «Search» router wireless... "and he never finds anything. "I chose my Airport Extreme Radio Mode Setup: 802.11n (802. 11 b / g compatible). It still does not work. Help! And a Happy New Year in this Discussion Forum.

    I downloaded and reinstalled the current driver.  It works fine when it is connected to the Airport Extreme, even via an ethernet cable.  I posted this to the talk of HP and they told me to contact the Apple Support! (this shows how useless this company may be!).  I also spent an hour on the phone with HP support and it turns out that they put me thro' for their expert XP and there weren't available Mac technicians.  Well - it's Saturday night!

    Just to be clear, you're saying your L7780 is unable to discover your network wireless printer Wireless Setup Assistant?

    BTW - I run a 802.11n Airport Extreme wireless router at home and my HP wireless printers work fine.

    I would like to see the report of internal connectivity of the printer.  Press the < configuration > and <># keys simultaneously.   Analyze the report on a memory card, copy it to your PC and post the image here.

    The connectivity report will give me details about your wireless network and the networks in the region.

  • Can I use an AirPort Extreme to add wifi to wired devices?

    Essentially, I would use an AirPort Extreme as a wifi adapter WITHOUT using it as wireless access point. I really just want to access my wireless internet and distribute the connection via Ethernet.

    For more context, I have a time capsule airport connected to my modem fiber. Time capsule does a great job of the town house with wifi coverage. However, I have a couple of components in my home theater, who are not able WiFi (DVD player, older game system, etc.). I got to have an AirPort Extreme, so my hope is to use an Internet for these components. I would have preferred that she not also "extend" the wireless network and contract my all along (I know this isn't the end of the world, I just useless expansion of the range so there is no reason for me to enter the equation or more wifi signals bouncing around the House).

    I searched a bit and encoder table extend network via wifi or the creation of a network of travelling, but I have not found a way to have the extreme put in place to receive the rebroadcasting wifi without her signal. It's something I can do?  In the circumstances, any other suggestions for setting this up that doesn't involve running one cable Ethernet or the purchase of additional equipment?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would use an AirPort Extreme as a wifi adapter WITHOUT using it as wireless access point. I really just want to access my wireless internet and distribute the connection via Ethernet.

    This would work... IF... the AirPort Extreme has been implemented to extend wireless network provided another router from Apple. Which would mean that the AirPort Extreme also would act as a point of access Wi - Fi.

    It does NOT at all if you try to connect to a third-party router wireless AirPort Extreme wirelessly.

    Ironically, an AirPort Express can be configured to do exactly what you want using either a router from Apple or a third-party router as the "primary" router If two ports Ethernet on the Express are too few in number, you can add an Ethernet switch to create more connections.

  • Photosmart more B209a-m does not connect with apple airport extreme base station

    Hello

    You should not connect it to the airport.

    You must connect the printer with a USB port on your Mac, then run the HP installation wizard.

    From there, you will be guided to provifde the details needed to establish the connection between the printer and Airport Extreme wireless.

    Once the process will be completed and set up the wifi connection you will be guided to unplug the USB.

    You must use a USB cable high speed standard, not longer than 2 m in length.

    The square end must be connected to the USB port located at the back of the printer:

  • AirPort Extreme and HP Officejet Pro 8000

    I had to replace my router with a router AirPort Extreme wireless.  When I connect the printer to the router with a cable the system sees the printer and can print perfectly well.  However, when disconnect the printer cable and try and use wireless printer disappears and the connection is lost.

    I forget to do?

    By the printer connected to the router with a cable, you use Ethernet. The Ethernet cable should be connected to print over the network.

    To connect wirelessly, you will need to have a wireless printer. You have the Officejet 8000 wireless, or just the Officejet 8000. What is your product number, found on the back of the printer?

    If it is wireless, you must plug the USB cable from the printer to the computer.

    1. go to your HP under all PROGRAMS folder.

    2 choose your printer and click on wireless network CONFIGURATION.

    3. after that, you choose Convert USB wireless.
