Can I have 2 Airport Extreme with running in a single wired network DHCP server

Hello friends,

Just a teenager from the windows world crawling as a child in the MAC world.

I'm curious to know if we can have 2 extreme airport, acting as 2 DHCP servers in the same local network. I really doubt if it is possible, but still want to have Advisor by experts. I am considering a wired LAN. If possible, please help me understand how this can be done in detail.

Thank you.

In fact, you can. The key is to assign different DHCP scopes for each base station in the same IP address space.

For example, you could assign the range 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.99 to a base station and have the other on: 10.0.1.100 via 10.0.1.200.

You set the DHCP scope or range using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • Select the network tab.
  • Select Network Options...
  • The range is set with the option "IPv4 DHCP Range".

But the question would be why would you?

    I live in Baja California Surinamese no cable.  You want to improve WiFi.  Not sure how to interact with a POE.  Tried to set up the airport without a bit of luck.  Appreciate some feedback.

    If the connection between the POE (Power over Ethernet) device and the AirPort Extreme is a wireless, then you will not be able to extend the network Wi - Fi of the OCB in the extreme. This is possible with an another AirPort base station.

    In addition, only a particular model of the base station AirPort Extreme POE supported wired connections. It was discontinued in 2007 and is model # A1034.

  • The Airport Extreme with Time Machine and HD 1 t

    I have an Airport Extreme with built-in hard drive of 1 t. My iMac has a 1 t hard drive too. Time Machine has successfully supported the HD integrated for a few years now, but he can't. The message said: he needs 2.7 T. Why would it need to back up a hard drive of 1 t?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list, so everything there should be backup is the HD 1 t, which still has unused space on it. Anyone have any ideas?

    It is opposite to almost anything else, I saw where you include on the list of things.

  • Implementation of Airport extreme with the same SSID

    My House has very thick walls and so I run a Cat5 cable for a number of rooms and installed an Airport Extreme for everyone to create a local WiFi network.

    For the moment, each creates its own wi fi network which is very good for connecting phones, tablets and laptops but I'm trying to connect some SONOS devices and they are not find each other so not a link to the main controller of SONOS.

    SONOS support suggests that if I could get the extremes of the airport on the same SSID, which should help you because they would all be network extensions and so devices would be able to find each other.

    I tried making them all extensions of the network wi fi router but can't see not in the options when I select "Extend an existing network", although on my iPad, I can see wi fi network to the router where the Airport Extreme is so too, it is wired to the router would have thought it should be possible to make all the extensions of a single network.  Research in the community, it seems that the airport is unable to extend a wifi network not Apple, but I could at least get all the airports on the same SSID can help.  I also tried to set up airports so they all extend the network, but they do not see each other because they are too far away.

    I'm not an expert in network management, I understand bits having to solve problems earlier, but if there is there advice or suggestions of the community that would be great

    Thank you

    David

    You choose to extend a network when the incoming signal is wifi. What you need is a "mobile network". Simply connect each airport to the router by ethernet and network with the same SSID and password than the original. Reset the airports so that they put in place from the new so that they detect the arrangement and get into bridge mode - you do not want to provide the IP numbers, you want the home router to do and airports to pass.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have an airport extreme and 2 airport expresses. my printer sees 3 networks alone vs. How to fix this?

    I have a relatively high House and have an airport extreme on one floor and 2 Airport Express - each on different floors.  My printer (Epson EF3640) considered the 3 networks all with the same name.  It seem to be printing problems if the computer is not on the same "network" as the printer. Any thoughts?  How airports that appear as a single network to the printer?

    Are all your base stations interconnected by Ethernet or wireless AirPort? Ideally for them all to be on the 'same' network you will want them connected by Ethernet and configured for a mobile network.

    Let us know if you want to continue this method and we can help you to help you with the installation.

    That's kind of how count you...

    But if your AE running 7.6.4 firmware it is Wireless N...

    A look at the base of the number. It is on the first line of molded rubber or paper label. A1408 is Gen5.

    Now for a piece of info you don't want to know.

    http://pondini.org/TM/airport.html

    Apple does not support the time machine is a model AE before last Gen6. A lot of people use it, but it can be unreliable... people have a different experience. Just to note that it is not taken in charge and reliability might be good bad or anywhere between the two... Ask yourself how useful is a backup that is not reliable.

  • How to configure Airport Extrem with OS El Capitan?

    Hello, I need help to set up airport Extrem with the OS X El Capitan. The system always show the same question:

    You will not be able to administer the old 802.11 g with your Mac OS X El Capitan AirPort base stations.

    Basically, you have three options:

    2. Use a Mac with OS X Lion or earlier version.
    3. Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.
  • Airport Extreme loses the connection to the home network

    I have an Airport Extreme (AE) with Cox Internet in my house. Version AE 7.6.7 since the end of may 2016, I lost WiFi connection radomly. I had a Cox technician out who finished just change a 'filter' in our neighborhood who feed on other Cox at the reception. He said this analog filter had to be upgraded to a digital filter.  Despite this, my WiFi kept down again. According to other Threads of the community, this problem was solved by putting the IPV6 in AE parameter for "link-local only.  I did this and still it is falling.

    According to a recent post in support of Cox:

    Most of the routers to retail, especially those produced in recent years, are completely compatible with IPv6. Cox has determined that the Apple AirPort Extreme routers, including Time Capsule models, may know Internet connectivity issues when running the firmware released before May 25, 2016. For more information, contact Apple Support.

    To a Moderator: Apple will have an AE update for this problem?

    The moderators of the forum are not questions on a user to user support forum, so don't expect a response from an Apple employee.  Please contact Apple Support directly if you wish to speak directly with Apple.

    Then, Apple has already released the new firmware... 7.6.7 May 25... so it's not the question that you reference in the statement on the website of Cox. Cox was referring to a firmware sooner, like 7.6.4, for example in their declaration.

    We have seen a number of messages from other users of Cox, who reported that the new firmware has resolved connection issues that existed before.

    To find out where the real problem may lie, I suggest that you connect a computer (with the wireless turned off) directly to one of the LAN ports <>- on AirPort Extreme for a few days and keep an eye on the connection.

    Post back your results. Then, we'll know if you have a general Internet... connection problem that could be a problem of modem... or a single wireless issue.  In all cases, it will help if you provide the model number of the AirPort Extreme you have... and... he make and model number of the modem you are using at the moment.

  • Should I still have AirPort Extreme with Arris TG1682G?

    I have an Apple Airport Extreme Wi - Fi to my home on 3 floors (basement, ground floor and attic).

    The week last Xfiniti sent me a new "Wireless Gateway," which they recommend that I use.

    It is model Arris TG G 1682 and supposed to give service 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz.

    Can I use this, it is faster or more strong signal through walls, etc. or continue to use my Airport Extreme?

    Thanks for any help!

    Alan.

    Nobody has a crystal ball that will be good enough to see your network performance, so that we cannot provide an answer for you about the question of whether you should use the gateway Arris or AirPort Extreme.

    Use your laptop to connect and check the connection Wireless at various locations around the House using the signal from the bridge of Arris.

    Then, do the same thing by using the AirPort Extreme signal.

    If you find the gateway Arris delivers a better signal than AirPort Extreme, then you need not in AirPort Extreme unless you want to have a separate network for guests or children.

    If you find that the AirPort Extreme works better than the Arris gateway, you can use the signal from the gateway for a network of comments or children. If you do not need a network comments or children, you might want to disable wireless on the bridge to reduce the number of wireless networks in your area.

  • Problem of AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express network expansion

    I have a dual-band Airport Extreme 802.11n that I bought in 2012 which is currently my home wireless network. I am trying to extend the network with a new AirPort Express with the AirPort 6.3.6 utility running OS 10.11 on an iMac. The Airport Express appears in the option other Wi - Fi devices. When I select it, AirPort utility tries to connect and then I get this message "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. "Try again does not lead to a different result, and I can't seem to find useful information in the documents support or conversations. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    It should be easy enough to operate the express, but you must tell us all the info.

    Configure the Express in the same room as the extreme.

    Using wireless to expand? Then you simply plug power in the Express... and it should pretty much automatically connect to the extreme.

    If you want to extend through ethernet, you should connect the Express in the extreme and make sure that the configuration of the airport utility selects extend by wire.

    If the Mac does not work you have the iphone or ipad and use Airport utility for iOS... it tends to be more reliable.

    Still no luck does your Mac have port ethernet... in this case, you can plug it into the computer with ethernet and try again... more wireless implementation looks like sawing off the branch to that which you are sitting.

  • Why can't I use my Airport Extreme routers to extend my Google fiber network?

    I had waited for a long time, and finally got Google fiber installed at my house this afternoon.  I had been so excited and had everything for my home network mapped out.

    I've never used router Wi - Fi an ISP, but I read that so many good things about the fiber of Google box Wi - Fi I had planned to make the core of my Wi - Fi network home.  The plan was to have the Google through my home box.

    I have two base stations Airport Extreme AC I used with my old set up with Time Warner.  My plan was to use to extend my Google Wi - Fi network with a floor and one on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to get there.

    I did a hard reset on two of my Airport Extreme routers and went to set them up as extensions, but I can't do it.  I have open Airport utility, select my device, choose 'Other Options', select 'Add to an existing network' and click Next...  Each time, my only option is to create a new network.

    Does anyone know a way around this?  I would really like to be able to have a base station wireless AC in every room of my house.  I also need the Airport Extreme routers set up somewhere in the chain so I can continue to do my wireless Time Machine backups.  Any tips?  I am currently very frustrated.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    -Brian

    Unfortunately, Apple routers will not be able to extend wireless signal of a 3rd party router. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is that routers Apple will extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple.

    If you could install another Apple router near the Google router and connect the Apple router using an Ethernet cable to the router fiber, and configure the router from Apple provides wireless... then... other airports will be able to extend the signal of the "main" Apple router

    You can use the fiber for a second wireless network or comments... or... If you need another network, there is probably a way to disable the wireless router fiber.

    Another option... If possible... would be to run both of your Apple routers Ethernet cables to the router of fiber. Then, Apple routers can be configured to extend the network of fiber like that.  Note that Ethernet cables should be left in place permanently with this option.
