• 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

• How to extend the Airport Express Wireless Network at guesthouse?

  Currently have an Airport Express (fairly new, updated). Centrally located in my house.

  I have a guest house which has a garage and a front door door aside.

  Guest House is about 56 feet from the main house.

  I can get the wifi outside, (4 bars) up to 3 feet of the guesthouse before he gets spotty or the connection is lost.

  If I go into the Guest House, I see the other neighbors networks, but not my own. (Signals strong, 4 bars).

  My question is: How can I extend the range of my network wireless in my guest house? If I need another Terminal Airport Express?

  Where would he put regarding my 1st Express?

  I would appreciate comments, thank you.

  As a first step, it may be good idea to test the different locations of the existing base station. Temporarily connect an Ethernet for inbound Internet cable. Try moving the base station to various locations. Avoid stray objects/structures (Wi - Fi and Bluetooth: potential sources of interference wireless - Apple Support).

  If necessary, an extension of the network (Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo...) are possible. The best way to do it would be through an Ethernet connection to the extended base station (placed in the main, if possible). Alternatively, you can test whether a link of powerline network adapter could be used instead of an Ethernet cable to the extended base station.

• Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

  I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

  However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

  I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

  So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

  In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

  Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

  Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

  My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

• A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.

  A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.  When I unplug the extreme internet works fine.  What is the problem?  The extreme old used to be the main, but I reset when I bought the new Time Capsule.  Time Capsule is now the principal.  We had extensive network in the House for over a year with no problems until I put the Capsule in the mixture.  Why they arrive as well as the other?

  Is AirPort Extreme 'extension' of the network by wireless connection to the Capsule of time... or... AirPort Extreme connects to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable connection?

• I can delete, change and move all other profiles wireless network but one that reappears immediately after that I erase it.

  My Eureka has been using netsh, explains Superuser.com «How to completely remove a wireless network from Vista» Everything I found on the Microsoft site doesn't give any examples on how to find profiles (netsh wlan name) or the statement appropriate to remove this profile (netsh wlan dlete name = "the name exactly as shown, case-sensitive quotes". That he solved it for me.

• Extended to Airport Extreme Ethernet ports not IP address assignment.

  I have an Airport Extreme as my basic router and another Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, which runs from the router.

  Since the extended Airport extreme, I have an Ethernet Hub and a Macbook Pro connected via an Ethernet Port, but every time I attach any device to the ethernet port on the Airport Extreme of the device has an auto assigned IP.

  Although, when I'm attached to the long terminal Airport Express, it's the IP assignment correctly.

  Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

  Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

  The two airports 'extension'... the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express... are in Bridge Mode when they "extend a wireless network".  DHCP (the process of allocating IP addresses... is disabled when a device is in Bridge Mode... it's up to your "main" AirPort Extreme to assign all IP addresses to network devices.)

  The 'extension' airports simply pass the IP address information to connected devices... the devices 'extension' assign IP addresses themselves.

  Since the AirPort Express works correctly, it seems that the 'extension' AirPort Extreme is the culprit.  From what you have told us, it seems that if the Ethernet switch on the device is not working properly. We learn more about this unit before us to jump to conclusions.

  (1) what is a newer version of the 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme or an older version of 'flat' or 'square' to the extreme?  If it is the old version, we need the model number of the bottom of the unit.  It starts with an "A" followed four digits.

  (2) when you connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports to the extreme that extends, is the little green light next the port light?

  (3) what operating system you are using on the Mac or the PC that you use to configure the airports?

• Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

  Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

  You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

  If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

  Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

  Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

• How to connect the Airport express as an Extender for airport extreme to El Capitan

  I have a model extreme A1521 airport and a model express airport A1392 and upgraded my OS to El Capitan. I want to use the express as an Extender for the extreme because my old House is long and has thick walls. My problem is that Airport utility will not 'see' the express, regardless of its proximity to the main router (extreme). I tried to move and reset.

  Of course, as soon as I get the utility to see, I need instructions on how to configure the express as a booster for my extreme.

  Any ideas?

  Unplug the Express and put it in the same room as the AirPort Extreme.

  Put power on the Express for a few minutes, then hold down the reset button on the back of the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release.

  Allow a minute for the Express to restart

  

  Click the WiFI icon at the top of the screen of the Mac

  Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

  Click directly on the AirPort Express Terminal

  

  When you click on AirPort Express, the "Wizard" will open and take a few seconds to analyze things, and then see a screen that looks like the figure below, except that you can see your cameras.

  

  Type a short and simple name that you want to call the Express

  Click next

  The installation wizard will take care of everything for you

  When you see the message Setup is complete, unplug the Express and move to halfway between the AirPort Extreme and the area of the House that needs more coverage of wireless signal

  Turn on the Express and you're all set

  Important note... the Express to expand the quality of the signal it receives. About half of the potential speed on the entire nextwork is lost when you extend using a wireless connection between the airports.

  It would be much better if you could connect the Express to the extreme by using wired Ethernet wired, permanent, since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable and there is always a lot of loss of signal through the air, the (thick walls especially) walls, ceilings, etc.

• If I can do an Airport Extreme mobile network with a modem/router cable xfinity manufactured by Cisco?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?

  Yes, if the Airport Extreme will be connected to the Cisco DPC3939 back using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  No. I you have done this, the Cisco/Xfinity device would only act as a simple modem... so it would not be a wireless service to all.

  A note of caution here... the support document you are referencing... Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)... use the examples that are long outdated does not follow with the versions present on a Mac AirPort Utility or iPhone/iPad.

  There are some good general information in the document.

• How can I know what kind of AirPort Extreme I have?

  I got a 2T HD connected to my AirPort Extreme to use as a Time Machine backup - the HD 2 t was too small for my home network, so I've upgraded to a hard drive of 6 t.  Now I can't connect to my drive 6 t of Time Machine to back up.  I read a support link that says the time machine backup only works with a model AirPort Extreme 802.11ac only.  How can I find out what kind of AirPort Extreme I have.  If my AirPort Extreme is "outdated" upgrade to the 802.11ac will allow me to use my HD external 6 t?

  On your Mac...

  Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Hold down the option on your Mac so you double-click on the image of the AirPort router

  Search for information at the top of the Summary Page on the model you have

• How can I reset my password for Airport Extreme?

  I limited access via the Airport Extreme WiFi because I was 17, can 'no' game all night. He has now downloaded the Airport utility to its iPhone and can go and change the access to 'all day' with a touch of a rocker. How do I change the password so its utility does not allow him to make this change? Thank you all.

  What camera... Mac, PC or iPhone / iPad will you use to change the configuration?

  If it's a Mac... we need the operating system they are running to provide the correct steps.

• Mac Mini G4 (with Airport) as a server?

  Hi all

  I am new to this site and pretty new in the Mac world, and so I'm hoping to get help.

  I look and have a lot of video content, usually via an LG Smart TV or my iPad (using airplay) before the season holiday and for the last few years I had all my content stored on a 1 to Iomega disk (4 or 5 years) However, for Christmas, I received a Station sinology drive NAS that I put 3 2 TB Western Digital red. In the last two days I've been setting up a Plex account and it seams to work ok. However, if I play the files on the TV via my amazon fire stick that it dampens a lot - I suspect it's because synology NAS has insufficient processor speed to deliver the stream fast enough on television.

  Then... my thought is that I need a file on a network server (but I don't want to spend too much money) I as a woman who likes to think (especially my COMPUTER stuff) to be discreet and hidden away.

  In the House at the moment, we have 2 MacBook Airs, 4 iPad, IPhone 4 and a Windows 10 laptop (PC has no need to access the NAS or a potential server)

  I have a few questions:

  -Could you a Mac Mini G4 at low cost (the later model with the wireless capability) be used as a server (if I don't have the wireless version, I could put it next to the modem / router (it's a Virgin Superhub - NETGEAR VMDG480 I believe)-is this a better option?)

  If the answer is Yes and the Mac Mini can be used to do this work...

  -Can he work Plex and media files continue to be accommodated on the NAS

  -Once implemented can I use my MacBook to connect to the server and manage (i.e. must not be a keyboard, monitor, etc.)

  -Will what operating system take

  I have a little experience in configuring servers based on PC but that was a few years ago and things have changed since that time - more Mac seems to be somewhat different, so I would really appreciate help everything / all.

  If the g4 as the old PowerPC CPU Intel version, you probably won't find as much work

  Plex media and Sin is no problem

  Remote desktop of course remote connection and vnc and teamviewer which would make it a possible

  What operating system would be up to the apps you will implement requirements

  A server is usually just a computer on which to run programs that are used by others on a network
