Can my older extreme join network of my new extreme and provide printing as an Express services?

Hello to you all, kind-Apple-help-people...

So, I just got a refurbed Time Capsule/Extreme to replace my old, short ' squat extreme n.  I have the new network that all together up and happy, no worries.

Back in the day, I used to have a fleet of 1 St gen expresses established providing the air in different rooms and connected to the printer in the office. They disappeared for a long time now, but it occurred to me that it would be nice if I could put my older extreme, now retired, to such use.  I want to put in the office and my printer on the USB port.  I really didn't need to "extend" the network or anything fancy.  With my old man expresses, I just put them up to 'join' the existing network.  This "join an existing network" doesn't seem to be an option available when I run today Airport utility.  Can I do this?

Sorry, but no. You can't have an AirPort Extreme 'join a wireless network' for the purposes of sharing printers or hard disks. At best, you could connect by Ethernet to your Time Capsule to this effect.

  • Can I have Windows 8 removed on a new computer and install Windows 7Home Premium?

    I have a gateway Windows XP with 2 slots for RAM.  I just have to answer at least 1 GB of RAM required for Windows 7 upgrade. I would like to have more than just the minimum RAM.   I'm not sure that the increase in RAM by buying two 1 GB RAM is all that is required to upgrade to Windows 7 and still have a stable and reliable computer.  If I bought a new computer with installed Windows 8, Windows 8 could be removed and the Windows 7 Home Premium installed instead?

    Thank you.

    If you have an old XP PC with only 1 GB of RAM, it is not likely to Win7 or 8 to run at all.

    If you buy a new computer, you can downgrade (people feel it is really an upgrade) to Windows 7 only if you have Windows 8 Pro. It is not normally sold on consumer machines. You would have taken specially for her.  In this case, one lets you find a computer that comes with Windows 7 installed. There are still a few available for sale.

    If you just want to buy a copy of Win7 then you could install it on a computer that is running Win8.

  • Can I connect my HP5580 to Airport Extreme and print wireless?

    I use a MBP early 2011, 2.2 g of 15 "and an Airport Extreme Wi - Fi system.  Can I use my HP5580 connected to my Airport Extreme USB, to print wireless?

    Thanks for your quick response.  I tried the procedure suggested you, but to no avail.   I then started to grope in the different sources of information and stumbled on this after having plugged the computer in Airport Extreme and cycling the unit you have recommended:

    If you are using OS X, go to Apple System Preferences > print & scan remove the printer selected by pressing-, then press on + to add a printer, select the printer even to add it.

    Once I did that, the HP C5580 will appear as connected via usb to an Airport Extreme and it prints like a champ!

    So, you support led me in the right direction - thanks again!

  • Can the Airport Extreme connect wireless to my wifi network?

    Hi all

    I have an Airport Extreme, which I use only for his Time Machine feature.  Best I can tell the only way he can connect to my wireless network is extending.  Is this correct?

    If I use it to extend my wireless network was is the negative impact (if any)?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can extend wireless or even join wireless to less the router that you connect to another router from Apple.

    If this is the case then it can work well if it is in the range... otherwise, you must plug the AE into the router principal by ethernet and put in place as a separate network wireless access point.

    Extend wireless is bad if you are linked to the main router wireless... which will cause huge slow down even if you are in a situation of apple router all.

  • How to extend a WiFi router network not Apple using Airport Extreme and Express?

    My cable ISP company just gave me a new modem/router - a DG of Arris - 2470. For the last two years I used a cable modem independent older with a connected Airport Extreme (both located on the ground floor) and an Airport Express station on the floor as an Extender. I was very happy with the power of the signal around the House.

    Since his arrival to the Arris router my signal has become very low to the floor. I would use my two Apple devices to extend/boost my network, but do not know how to do this.

    Thank you!

    Basically, you have two options:

    1. (Best overall performance of the network) Connect the extreme and Express on the Arris Ethernet gateway device and configure all for a traveling-type network. This would require an Ethernet connection between all routers that can be accomplished by either using Ethernet cable or the use of mains adapters.
    2. (The overall performance of the adequate network) Simply connect the extreme to the Arris Ethernet, then extend the extreme using the Express.

    Which of these do you prefer?

  • I have older Airport Extreme and Express but I now want to set up a new router Airport.

    I have an old Airport Extreme as my main hard wired (ethernet connected) router and an Express that I use as wifi Wireless extender.   Now, I want to set up a new Airport (probably Extreme) router and use the old Airport extreme as extender wifi hard wired (ethernet cable).

    I know that I have to reset the old default airport routers. But, how I do this and please start from there and the beginning, their reset and then up to the new Airport base station and then configure the older router to use with the new? Please be detailed, step by step and attach written instructions or places that I can get the instructions.

    What exact models are each of your airport base stations? Once we have this information, we can help you get your properly configured access point.

  • Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

    I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

    This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

    Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

    This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

    I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

    The problem is:

    Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

    If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

    I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

    I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

    So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

    I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

    I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

    The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

    What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

    Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

    If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

    We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

  • Extend the network 1 Extreme and 1 Express

    I have the latest Airport Extreme, and I would like to extend my network to the floor with best performance.  I have the ability to connect to an Airport Express Terminal via an Ethernet cable.  My question is this... If I set up a roaming network using the Express connected via a Cat5 cable or Cat6 will be broadcasting from the Express (capable of) wireless A/B/G/N/AC channels?  Or he can do A/B/G/N?  Assuming that I bought the last Airport Express Terminal.  Or, if I wanted to AC that I have to use a second Airport Extreme?

    The Airport Express is not capable, "ac", so if you want to use "ac" of speed signals more high, you'll need another AirPort Extreme.

    In both cases, you can use Configuration Apple 'Wizard' to automatically configure the AirPort Express or Airport Extreme for a network roaming... than Apple installation called 'Spread with Ethernet' in their installation utility.

  • Unable to connect to wireless internet; can only connect to the network, saying "Local only" or "limited connectivity".

    I have problems to connect to any wireless internet - home, library, coffee shops.  He used to work, began to get in trouble (i.e. could not connect sometimes to the diner, but works in the library) and now does not connect to internet AT ALL wireless.

    Only connects to the network saying "local only".  And I'm lucky even get that much.  Furthermore, I don't know if it's a router problem or what, but it does not even accept the password for my home network (my boyfriend has no problem on the internet with Windows 7 and the current router password).

    I use a HP G60 laptop (maybe?), I don't remember the model exactly.  Windows Vista.  I am frustrated beyond belief.  I took the computer to Best Buy and the man suggested that contact Microsoft because, in his own words, "this seems to be a very common problem with the adapter wireless in Windows Vista".

    In summary: is it a hardware or a software problem?  It seems to be a software problem that can have an impact on the material.  Nevertheless, what can I do to fix this?  Y at - it a software update, I need to try for my wireless card?

    This computer is not yet a year old, and already I am unable to use it for the internet.  Not very well I plug my ethernet cable router wireless in the library.  I bought a laptop for a reason, but it is on track to achieve more like a desktop.  Very disappointing.

    Someone, please help!

    Hello

    When the man from BestBuy, fortunately for us technology is not a cleaning product, there is no way of knowing if someone puts his hand on it and knowing what is wrong rather than moving oral reprimand...

    First step, log on to the HP support and download the latest drivers for your wireless card.

    The HPG60 is a very good phone but its wireless card has problems with old drivers.

    In which case it's a hardware problem, contact HP support.

    In general, you can use this process to find out what's wrong with the wireless.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Can I use an old station Airport Express to extend your network using a new Airport Express Terminal?

    I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?

    By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.

    However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

    Wi - Fi networks will be displayed in the menu OS X Wi - Fi, including those created by other Apple routers. It's normal. It does not necessarily indicate that users connected to these networks can connect to yours. In particular, if you use a wireless password and change it often.
