Characteristics of the network

Hello!

My home network is behaving oddly and I can't understand what makes. I'll try to explain.

In the living room, I have a Time Capsule, connected by a cable to a modem ethernet. The TC creates a wireless network, the router Mode is off (bridge mode).

In the House, I have one of the later versions of Airport Express, in the kitchen, one of the older models AE (the one that plugs directly into a power outlet). The two are set to expand my network. See image:

I use an iPad in the kitchen, which, in above configuration, connects to EI on the left (the one in the kitchen) with an excellent connection. I know for sure, because the AE shows 1 customer with the MAC address of my iPad.

Often, changes in configuration without reason:

The connection shows 'Just', my iPad was abandoned as a customer and now links to EI in the bedroom (shown here in the middle) with a signal strength less than optimal, of course.

Restart this AE give me the configuration, but only for a while.

Please enlighten me. Thank you!

This is a regular problem... If the signal from the bedroom Express is better that the TC and the kitchen that express will failover to the other unit... but works really bad and not is not supposed to happen... but it doesn't.

Let me suggest a way around it is to simply make sure signal is always better the TC... you could do it using a piece of foil on a part of the wall to block the signal from the room to sunset-express to this area. Things sometimes just moving around... can achieve what you want.

The distance and most importantly the signal should be strengthened of the TC.

There is no way to control it manually... If you sometimes need to support, then set it to a different name bands 2.4 ghz and 5 GHz... then make the room TC extend the range of 5 GHz... and the kitchen a 2.4 ghz... see how it works...

  • Use the second router to extend the network to Time Capsule

    I have a v7.6.7 running Time Capsule 1 TB and older airport. I'm hoping to add a second router in a new location, and I use an ethernet cable from the TC at the new router (TP Link Archer C5), updated to the latest version of the firmware. The IP address of the TC is 192.168.1.1.

    I have set up my router C5 as follows: allocation of IP 192.168.1.199, value DHCP = off, and I connect a cable between the TC ports and port WAN (not Internet) available on the C5. In the C5 wireless settings, I tried both using the TC SSID and pw and creating a new SSID and pw. In both cases, the network will work for a short time, but eventually the entire network, including the TC, stops working. I made no changes to the parameters of the TC on any trial.

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router? If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Is it possible to use a TC and a router not Apple on the same network? If so, what are the right settings for the TC and the secondary router?

    Yes. That would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

    The key for a roaming network parameters are:

    • The 'primary' router must be configured as a router. In other words, it must have active NAT and DHCP services.
    • All other routers used in a network of roaming must be reconfigured as a bridge.
    • All routers must broadcast a Wi - Fi network that uses the same network (SSID, aka) name, and the type of wireless security, and the password.
    • All routers must be interconnected by Ethernet. To provide Powerline adapters using an Ethernet connectivity should also work.

    If not, is it better to have the not Apple as main router and add the TC to the network created by the non-Apple router?

    Should not really which is the main in the roaming network.

    I think at this point, your current circuit line. To check that, I would suggest that you consider to bring back the router C5 in the same room as you have the TC. Then connect it directly to one of the LAN of the TC ports. Complete the entire upward to a mobile network and test it. If everything works, bring back the C5 in the desired location, and then try again.

    If it fails, then the circuit line will be tested to check that it provides a solid 'Ethernet' connection between the adapters.

  • The network volumes fall, Finder crashes

    This problem is reproducible on two of my machines to date.

    The installation program:

    1. Mount a network volume (in this case DSM Synology NAS 6.0.2 - 8451 Update 1)
    2. From an application (in my case the Pages, but it happened in Word as well), save a document on the volume

    The result:

    • The document does not record
    • Disassemble the network volume
    • Finder crashes, recovery is no help
    • The application where I save also crashes and not even the activity monitor or a process kill Terminal will stop the process to run

    I thought that this might be related to Adobe Creative Cloud, Dropbox or folder by default, but I can reproduce this problem with all these apps does not. I am now more convinced than ever that this is a bug of networking of Sierra, but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so, have you been able to solve it?

    Thank you very much.

    Just in case where somebody comes here first of all, as I did, a tour on the Synology forums confirms that there is a bug in the implementation of the AFP on Synology readers - and perhaps other NAS drives do not do by Synology. Apparently Apple has changed the Protocol quite that save files to a network volume will crash Finder and hang the tent application of the Save.

    The solution is to get any volume of network via SMB. So instead of cmd - K and typing afp://your-volume-name you smb://your-volume-name. Simple enough and it seems to work around the problem.

  • Extreme drop airport utility but the network still doesn't work?

    Hello

    I hope you can help and I don't know if I'm worried for nothing, but it began to annoy me now.

    First of all the details of my network are as follows:

    Cable modem connection cable-> Cat 6 to airport extreme (new model height) which acts as a router for any network-> Branches out of there at an old airport extreme (flat square one) and new height time capsule.

    Once the old extreme and time capsule are in Bridge mode to extend the network, because they are wired into the new AE.

    This morning was faltering then checked connection airport utility.  Two new AE and TC had the warning triangle and were asking to be "forgotten" to the network.

    Reset the new AE and airport utility picked up so I put up from scratch and has received the green light nice and everything was fine!

    Then implement the TC.  The minute that this was recorded on the network, even in Bridge mode, which suggested the airport utility, the new AE got the dreaded yellow triangle and asked to forget.

    I've done a few times now, step by step, update that I will and I can not all 3 on the network "green lit" as they used to be.  I used the app to radar network and it is smooth or duplicate IP addresses, but most annoying network works like a charm.  The only unit with the appropriate settings for access to the internet is the new AE - all the other boxes are simply fill these parameters therefore, even with the yellow triangle, it always seems to work.

    Am I worry for nothing, or is there something I should be concerned?  An idea is an update which was pushed caused some problems?

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.6 and 6.3.6 airport utility.

    All iOS devices in the House, running the airport utility in a show the same problem too.

    Thank you

    There are many posts here lately related to this.

    A 'solution' refers to those who have set up their base stations for Back to My Mac. If you did, how to follow recommended action is temporarily remove or disable this option, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the base and then station, select change.
    • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
    • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
    • Click on update and allow the base station restart.
  • From Firefox blocks all access to the network

    When I start Firefox (41.0.1), all access to the network is completely blocked. Before you start the FF, I can access the Internet (with Chrome or IE), other computers, but as soon as I launch Firefox, all access to the network (including the connection to other computers) is blocked. In addition, my computer will turn off more.

    As far as I KNOW, I have not installed lately extensions or add-ins.

    Thank you for your resolution. Today, when I mentioned to work, I was told to update Firefox. This seems to do the trick (so far, fingers crossed!).

    (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings) so very probably an extension is causing harm.

    When this isn't ' t the resolution, I will surely return to your resolutions.

  • Airport express - is no longer the network extension

    For six years, took the extreme of the airport, with two Airport express network expanded throughout the House provision.

    All are online and update - 7.6.7 is later / current version.

    Airport express kitchen spent all-day orange with the warning - "unable to extend the... wireless network." "flashing

    I tried to restart - power off/power on, then a reboot via Airport utility.

    Then I completely reset the device to factory settings and reconfigured back to expand network through the Airport on Mac utility.

    I still have the same problem!

    Tried to contact Apple support, telephone support is obviously expired but still difficult to write, call, or buy an extended support, I am stuck in a loop with: "we're sorry. We are unable to respond to your request at this time. Please try again or come back later.15696390-8f63-4da2-816e-f58a820d350d'

    Would appreciate some advice from the community? Could avoid resetting the Airport Extreme that I didn't have to go to the length of the reconfiguration of the entire home network and services... !

    Thanks in advance.

    Powering two devices of the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the AirPort Extreme and run a full minute

    Then, turn on the kitchen Express and run a full minute

    Check the network

    If no luck, repeat the same procedure as above, but perform a hard reset on the Express before attempting to set up again

    If still no luck, the age of the Express can come into play. The average useful life of the Express is about 3-4 years.

    Try the 'other' Express in the kitchen. If it works, then you know that your "old" kitchen Express must be replaced.

  • Not reflected in the network system preferences utility airport settings

    Airport Express model A1264

    Airport Utility 5.6.1

    Firmware 7.6.7

    MacBook OS 10.6.8

    Hello, I am trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.  If I make a change in Airport utility, it does not change the settings in advance under network options in system preferences and vice versa.  Network names are the same and all other parameters, except the IP numbers are different. (Note: when asked to "Join other network" one and only network name I entered comes up.) All this occurred as a result of a new service by satellite being installed in our premises (I'm in Australia and we have a 'NBN Satellite' service).  IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.   The IP address of the Airport utility is the Airport Express IP number.  I guess that the first IP address is correct as I can connect the MacBook to the internet via Airport. To complicate things, it is that I have the additional problem of not being able to join the network using my MacBook Pro (OS utility 10.10.5, Airport 6.3.5). I get a message telling me to another computer is using IP number again xxxxxxxx test this last (or something similar).  I did originally a default zero value through the Airport utility menu using the MacBook (actually several times), but no change in system preferences > network settings. I think I should add the MacBook Pro Airport utility on the MacBook (which I have) to join the network created on the MacBook.   I use the MacBook for the e-mail and the spread of the internet, and the MacBook Pro should be able to join the network for software and other upgrades. The Airport Express has worked without problem for at least 4 years on our old satellite service. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

    I'm trying to sort out why the Airport utility settings are not the same as the settings in system preferences > network > airport.

    Setting affects only the Airport express airport utility. They do not change anything on the computer.

    Setting in the preferences of the computer only affect the computer... They do not change anything on the express.

    IP address in system preferences > network seems to be the IP number, I received when the new system has been activated and the computer that is directly connected by ethernet cable to the modem.

    Are you a public IP address on the computer? In the old system, you most likely have a private IP address.

    The computer really should NOT directly connect a modem... only a modem which has several ethernet ie is actually a router.

    That will tend to make it more difficult to set up the express. The express should plug a pure modem... and then the computer plug in the express. In this case, the express would be the main router. (I don't like this setup but because the Express is not powerful enough for this job). As far as your express is the old N a wireless with a single ethernet port.

    Honestly, do you a favor and buy another router from apple... the extreme... If you can't afford a new Gen6 then buy a Gen5 on ebay... around $60... immensely better.

    The express can then extend the wireless... or just simply do serve airplay etc. as part of the network.

    Tell us what model is the modem (+ router?) provided to you by your ISP?

    And if you get a public IP address or private on the computer directly connected to it. We can work out the rest from there.

    I'm in Melbourne... you can email me direct if you need to. Email is on my website.

  • AirPort Extreme can disappear from the network

    I have an airport Time Capsule 802.11ac 3 TB, implemented as my router, connected to a cable modem Comcast.  I also three units AirPort Extreme 802.11ac connected via an Ethernet cable and configure in Bridge mode.  The settings were all made with Apple AirPort Utility, using the default settings.  All devices are new, and have the latest version of the (7.7.7) package.

    My problem is that one of the SSA keeps disappearing from the network.  The AP utility shows all devices, but unity of the 'room' is still "missing in your network.  When I restart the device by unplugging the, the unit seems to work fine for a little while.

    Because the problem occurs on a unit, I think not that it is a question of ISP or OS.

    Has anyone else had a problem like this, and understand you?

    It is not uncommon.

    There is a real problem with apple DNS...

    What modem do you use?

    Actual spending brand and model please... It is probably not related, but it is useful to know the complete network configuration.

    Question I would like to change.

    1. your names are too long and contain spaces.

    Use any short names, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters. Names must be less than 10 characters... all names... both network name.

    See Pondini for questions that arise with more long names... and that was before Apple changed network SMB.

    http://pondini.org/TM/C9.html

    2. the WAN port on the AC model TC and AE are not reliable.

    In bridge, what do you do better move the connection to one of the LAN ports...!

    3. you have an unreliable ethernet cord or if it is installed in the wall a bad Jack which is down to... This happens especially in that self installed ethernet... and even the ordinary electrician has problems... sometimes wrongly wired a pair of broken. You should test all ethernet correctly and make sure have full gigabit connections.

    4. use static IP via both a dhcp on the TC and AE reservation jumpered on the internet tab. Least IP moves the less work THAT DNS must do to stay.

    If you have still questions after.

  • "Another device on the network use my ip address".

    I tried to check my mail and could not and got this message "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer." I have never seen it before. He also said that I could change the IP address, if I continued to have problems. I bought this iMac and used Migration to transfer all the stuff from my old iMac that is still used. That was months ago, but I never had this message up to now. So should I change one of the IP addresses? And if so, how is that done?
