Connect to Airport Extreme to another router

Hello.  I searched this forum to see if my question is already answered.  I couldn't find all the signs that answer.  If it has already been answered, please point me to the subject.  Otherwise, here's my question:

I need to expand Internet coverage in my house.  This is the configuration I want to implement:

• Cable modem (at one end of my house) connected to a WiFi router non - Apple.

• Use an Ethernet cable to the router through my attic, at one Airport Extreme to the other end of the House

• I would like to run an Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to my TV and another cable to an AppleTV

This would give wireless coverage to the entire House and Internet wired for television and the AppleTV.

I would like some advice on how best to implement.  Here are a few questions (although I don't know if I ask to everything that I need to ask):

• If the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

• If the Airport Extreme and the other router have the same SSID and password?  Or it doesn't matter?

• What should I do a configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

• I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

Thanks in advance for any advice.  If all goes well, I plan to spend this Saturday morning crawling into the attic and tonight Saturday benefiting the whole Internet.

Should the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

DHCP, unless you have a preference for a static IP address.

Airport Extreme and the other router has the same SSID and password?

Yes, if you want both of your routers to behave as if they provided a unique network of "big". No, if you want to require users to log on the wireless provided separately by each router.

I have to do any configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

Just run configuration 'Wizard' of Apple, and it will assign the correct parameters to the AirPort Extreme.

I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

It is not clear, given that we do not know what another router you may have. Do you mean that the other router connected to the modem via DHCP... or... you hear the other router provide DHCP and NAT services for the entire network?

  • What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

    Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

    You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

  • Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

    I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

    Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

    The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.

    Any advice?  Thank you.

    OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

    ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

  • Connect the Airport Extreme via Powerlink to the cable Modem

    I have problems with wifi at home as the location where the my cable modem is far from ideal. I currently connected to an Airport Extreme, which works like the router (the cable modem has the router function disabled). Attached to the AE is also a powerlink and I have an Airport Express connected to the powerlink, which has its own network.

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    I'm getting a second Airport Extreme soon as well and I have several express in my house, but the problem is that my wifi is not fast at all.

    Powerlink adapters are Devolo 600 & 1200.

    Thank you

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    It's always a good idea to place the 'main' AirPort router as close as possible of the area where most of the wireless devices should be used in this sense, your idea is a good thing... and in theory at least. ... .the powerline adapters allow you to do.

    However, in practice... you won't really know how well... or even if... this type of installation will work until you try you. The reason for this is there is so many different things that can affect the performance of a type of current line of the installation program.

    If you have time, there is certainly no harm in trying this type of configuration.  Post your results if you decide to try it.

  • NETGEAR EX3700 AC Extender connect to airport extreme

    I have a ca Airport Extreme router and I am trying to use an extension cord of AC EX3700 Netgear instead of an Apple Express which only supports "N". Everyone was able to integrate the Netgear to their network?

    I have no experience with the Netgear, but I used other extensions of the apple airport wireless that work...

    The EX3700 is only AC750... which really means that it is a device of a single AC flow which will not be faster that the express... nothing in fact because the last express will do 450Mbit on 5 GHz... AS FAR AS I KNOW...

    Anyway... first thing...

    Change the EI setting to give the 5 GHz a different name at 2.4 ghz.

    Do this in Options wireless...

    Use a short name without spaces and pure alphanumeric... for example AE5ghz

    You can also set the channel wireless for 5 GHz to a known value... EG 36 or 149... everything is allowed in your country.

    Now, try and connect to 5 GHz Wireless... If it still does not... remove the WPA2 password... and try (briefly) without security.

    Test on both channels, I have proposed... If they are legal in your area.

    If the Netgear does not connect with AE in the conditions I just of... It would never work... Sorry, but not all wireless will work... nature of the beastie.

    If you get it to go immediately add a password... WPA2 Personal... and the password should be numbers and breaks mixed alphanumeric pure... 8 to 12 characters... failure... Take him back to wpa1 & 2 which is a bit more compatible.

  • Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

    original title: drive hard extreme airport

    Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

    Hello

    Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

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

    Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
    Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
    7 love the updated drivers.

    I hope this helps.

  • Connection with airport extreme Wi - Fi C7250 AIO problem

    Hello

    a linksys router wrt54g connected to the PC with the macbook, imac and the c7250 connected wireless and works well.  router died and I just extreme double router from the airport.  PC connected to the extreme now with the imac and macbook always wireless.

    the c7250 will not print. I deleted the printer from the print queue of the printer apple and I tried to reset the printer... but essentially, it cannot find the extreme network from the airport during the Setup Wizard.  I have to manually enter the name of the network and it will find it yet.  the printer is 2 feet from the router.  Apple said that there is a problem of HP.

    Thanks for your help!

    Scott

    We will reset the printer to see if the radio comes back to life:

    Turn off the printer, hold it # and 6 keys everything back on.

    If this does not work, you can connect with an Ethernet cable (if practical).  In the case opposite sound will repair or replace time.

  • Unable to connect to Airport Extreme after updating iOS 10

    Hey guys.

    OK not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I can't connect to my Airport Extreme update IOS 10 my wife is.

    We all have two iPhone 6 and 64 gb & update at the same time.

    We have an ac 802.11 Airport extreme also an extreme dual band of airport & an express airport which none of us can connect to.

    We can connect to the Home Hub 6 provided by our service provider broadband with no problems but it is only in a part of the House that we are unable to connect to my office or at the back of the House.

    Tried resetting the network settings on the phone thought I might ask before having to try to reset back to factory settings base stations.

    Thank you

    FWIW, I upgraded my iPhone SE 5 and Pro iPad to iOS 10 as well, but knows me not any problems connecting to one of my base station AirPort to Wi - Fi.

    Or the other of your iPhones must all problems connecting to other networks in addition to the Home Hub Wi - Fi? In other words, are they only having problems connecting to your AirPort base station? If Yes, do you have someone nearby who also has an AirPort wireless network that you should check your iPhones with?

    In the meantime, let's take a look at the current configuration of your network. We know that you, at least, three airport base stations. What is the exact models of non - 802.11ac extreme and Express?

    These base stations are all linked back to the Home Hub with Ethernet they are all configured for a mobile network?

  • PC does not connect to AirPort Extreme

    I have a windows 7 dell latitude D600 that connects to wireless very well. I think that the wireless card is like b/g/n.

    I have an Airport Extreme 6th Gen AC that sends wifi very well to everything I own.

    The PC sees the network, I click on it and enter the password, he thinks for a while and fails!

    I have studied this problem and it is not the PC, I think it is the most convenient airport.

    Thank you

    If you take a look at the plug of the D600, you will see that it is Wireless 'b' which forces the old WEP security settings.

    http://www.CNET.com/products/Dell-Latitude-D600/specs/

    Unfortunately, the new routers WEP abandoned airport about 3-4 years ago because it is so safe and easily cracked with some free tools available on the Internet.

    A test, turn off security on the AirPort Base Station wireless and see if the Dell can connect in this way. If he can... then you know that the Dell is not compatible with the highest levels of security that use airports and other newer routers.

    Do not recommend that you do this, but you can try to lower the security on the airport to WPA/WPA2...but I don't know if the Dell will connect this way or not.  It won't if it is limited to WEP security levels.

    Better to keep safety at the recommended levels and try a USB wireless adapter to see if it works with the Dell printer.

  • Airport Express is no longer connect to Airport Extreme

    OK, it's kinda a complicated question.  For starters, I will describe my current setup:

    Cable modem Motorola-> Airport Express #1-->(Ethernet over powerline)-> Airport Extreme-> multiple Airport Express for AirPlay

    Airport Extreme and Airport Express #1 are put in place to create wireless networks, with different names for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz frequencies.  I love this configuration because it allows me to play music simultaneously on the four different speakers hooked to my Airport Express units while offering good coverage in my apartment together.  It worked perfectly until two days ago when two of the Airport Express units lost their connection and are now flashing yellow.  I tried to restart the Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but nothing helped.  When I launch iStumbler, it looks like Airport Express #1 and Airport Extreme both create networks of right, but who is the Airport Extreme 802. 11A instead of 802.11n - don't know if it of a problem or not.  I suspect that the Airport Extreme is not working properly because when my wireless connection when you use my iPad near the Airport Extreme, that used to be solid as a rock, is now uneven intermittently.

    Any ideas on how I can solve this?  Thank you very much!

    It sounds like your extreme is the very old Gen1 or Gen2 model without dual band.

    Back to the factory and start over. It's the best way to solve problems... reboot is worth a trial, but in the end, you sometimes just have to redo the installation.

  • Time Machine won't see drive connected to Airport Extreme

    I have a MacBook Pro 2009 (5,5), El Capitan running. I just replaced the HD with an SSD. The OWC kit, I bought came with a USB for my old HD box. I want to use this drive as my Time Machine as my old drive to WD firewire crapped out. The old MBP disk is inside OS X extended (journaled) formatting and goes up as a network drive in my finder when it is connected to my Airport Extreme. Time Machine won't see unless it is connected directly to the USB port on the MPB.

    The first thought that comes to mind here is to make sure that you have the latest version of 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme, which officially supports Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

    Is this the case?

    All the old 'flat' or 'square' of the AirPort Extreme versions don't support officially the backups Time Machine on a drive to the USB port on the device... even though we used to see messages from time to time users who claimed that it worked for them... at least for a while before he didn t.

  • Airport express base station at will without connect to airport extreme

    I tried to get my airPort Express to connect to the extreme via my iphone using the application configuration of the airport. He finds the express and he knows I have the extreme. I said I want to extend my current network and finds it units, but I receive and message error "an unexpected error has occurred" try again, I tried several times but to no avail.

    Is your goal to have the Express to extend the reach of the extreme wireless using a wireless connection between them? If so, temporarily bring the Express in the same room that the extreme and then, use your iPhone AirPort Utility to try setting them up again. Please post back your results.

  • Unable to connect to Airport Extreme

    I just bought a photosmart 7520 all in one printer.  However, during the installation procedure, it cannot see my Apple Airport Extreme (we see all neighboring routers neighboring!).  I checked the settings in the most extreme airport and they are all set to their default values.

    Can anyone suggest a solution, I don't want to change my router

    Thank you

    Solved!

    I finally found that the number of "Channel" on my router was set to a range higher than the Photosmart could see.  I changed it to a lower number and the here, she found and now works perfectly.

  • Can I connect my Airport Extreme base station via an ethernet cable to a counter of locus?

    Can I use my Airport Express (802.11n Wi - Fi) to connect with an ethernet cable, a locus counter that is used with a solar panel inverter?  Currently I use the hotspot to connect two different Mac computers and an Ipad.  Sungevity, Setup, told me that the signal must go in a direction of my locus meter satellite modem.  Sungevity also told me that if I can hard wire any device (such as a computer) directly from my Airport, I should also be able to do the same with the meter of locus.  Has anyone tried this before?

    Thank you.

    What is the AirPort Express you have?

    As you test, turn off the WiFi on a computer and then connect the computer to the local network <-->port on the AirPort Express using an Ethernet cable to see if the computer can get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If he CAN... and if the people of support for your solar panels have provided the correct information... then the meter will work.

  • Airport Extreme router's Express is connected by wire, East of 1 Gbps ports on switch it extreme on 100Bt now?

    Hi all

    In my house, the extreme is connected to a fiber modem 250 / 250 MB/s and I plugged a time Machine as an Express via CAT6 UTP. All serve as a router and provide 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi on the different floors of the House. Just a question: Express has 2 ports ethernet 100BT, Extreme and Time Machine have 3 1000BT Ethernet ports. The extreme switch mode back all 100BT because of the Express ports?  Because that would explain the downgrade in the port on the extreme speed after that the PS3 has been used connected to the Express.

    The extreme switch mode back all 100BT because of the Express ports?

    No.... but any device connected to the Terminal AirPort Express will have a maximum speed of 100 Mbps. So, if you connect a 1 000 compatible device to the Ethernet port on the Express, it would appear as a device of 100 Mbps on the network as the Express is limiting speeds.

    So, if you want a device that is capable of 1 000 Mbit/s to have 1 000 Mbit/s speed on your network, it will have to connect to AirPort Extreme or time Capsule.
