• Any version of Airport running in Lion or later utility that will handle an Airport Extreme 2004?

  We have a very old Airport Extreme, 2004 which works well, but is seriously crimping our internet speeds via Comcast (confirmed today using an ethernet direct connection to the cable modem, sparking a jump from ≍14mbps to ≍57mbps). I would like to give this to a friend who has nothing similar, but she runs, as am I, a MacBook Pro newish. My MBPro ONLY runs a version of Airport utility which can not handle the old Airport Extreme base station and the version that CAN cannot operate on a system of snow leopard after.

  Is there a version of Airport utility which can operate on the MacBookPro, Lion or later, who would manage the old Airport Extreme Base Station?

  Thank you very much

  Is there a version of Airport utility which can operate on the MacBookPro, Lion or later, who would manage the old Airport Extreme Base Station?

  If you have a Lion (10.7.1) or (10.7.2), you can install AirPort Utility 5.6 on this operating system.

  Something more than 10.7.2, including Lion mountain (10.8.x), Mavericks (10.9.x), Yosemite (10.10.x) or El Capitan (10.11.x) will not allow version 5.x of AirPort Utility must be installed on the Mac.

  If you... or you can borrow for 10-15 minutes... a Mac under Leopard or Snow Leopard or a PC with installed on the device AirPort Utility, you can configure the airport the more it.  Once the AirPort Extreme is set up and working, Macs using newer operating systems will be able to connect to the network... but they cannot make any configuration changes 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.

• Problems with COX Gigablast fiber Airport extreme WiFi

  I recently installed internet service from COX Gigablast fiber and chose to stay with my AirPort Extreme wireless routers (2), rather than use the Netgear router which they provided.  I didn't think anything of it, because technology that makes my installation said "we get the same speed with the Airport Extreme, as we do the Netgear... ", so I don't think much.  During installation I was getting 950Mbps the two download and upload via hard cable connection and 300-400Mbps over a wireless connection.  Over the next day, I noticed that Netflix was serving an image low resolution for TV, as if it was on a wifi network limited.  After speed tests at Speedtest.net, the wired connection speed was very erratic and the WiFi had dropped to ~ 30Mbps.  I reset the Airport extreme routers, but in vain.

  I had a COX tech come out and he said that AirPort Extreme should have IPV6 'turned off '.  This seems to have fixed the instability of the wired connection.

  Wireless, however, is always obismal!  Has anyone experience this problem?  If so, I'd appreciate it really any resolution.  The COX Tech told me that they informed Apple that they have a bug with the Airport Extreme, when it is used with their service Gigablast, and that "after the problem Apple's repeated refusals, they had just been Apple that was with AirPort Extreme and not with COX."  He also told me that I was myself because they guarantee the speed of connection of line lasts, "because there are too many variables when it comes to WiFi signal."

  Any input would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

  Thanks for this post!  And for being the Guinea pig on this issue.

  Just, I, too, had installed Gigablast and uses the supplied Netgear router.  I just bought a new AirPort Extreme to manage the speed of concert and wondered whether to execute directly on the modem fiber or hard wire off the Netgear router.

  Hope someone at Apple can solve this problem quickly.

• Network with Airport Extreme problems connected to the Linksys switch

  I have a wired network in my house.  It has the following configuration: Modem base station Airport Extreme for Linksys switch and then all wired connections.  It is in a wiring closet in a room upstairs.  I have 2 other extremes from the airport, to spread out of the range, but they are currently disabled and disconnected from the network until I have found why I get auto ip address on several of my wired connections.  I have reset the modem, EI and switch.  More wired connections seem to be working very well, but there are 4 or 5 who say that the ethernet cable is connected, but it can not connect to the internet because of a self assigned ip address.  I thought maybe it was a problem with the port of the switch, but when I plugged a cable work in, everything worked again.  Thus, for example, on my iMac, in a study downstairs, I had plugged on the ethernet port in the wall.  He let me only to connect to wireless internet.  He says the ethernet connection had a self assigned ip.  I went upstairs and took the cable from the switch and directly connected to the Airport Extreme, and then connect to this iMac worked fine via ethernet.  So I'm really confused as to why it does not work when it is connected to the switch.  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

  Because either you have a bad port on the switch (unlikely, but possible) or a wired Ethernet connection bad, or maybe both ends of several of the Ethernet cables (99% of the time, the problem is in the wiring or connectors Ethernet... not the switch).

  But, we must test the switch first and then work from there.  It might be much easier to call a guy from wire or the custom installation specialist to do all this for you, but if you want to give it a try... Here's how.  It is not difficult at this stage, just take some time.

  Unplug the switch except the Ethernet cable that connects the AirPort Extreme to each cable Ethernet switch.  Label each Ethernet cable with a number or a letter you can install the wires in their original position on the switch.

  Use of a laptop computer with an Ethernet port and a short, spare Ethernet cable... virtually no matter what length will make... and turn off the WiFi on the laptop so it should use Ethernet to connect to Internet.

  Test an Ethernet port on the switch with the laptop and the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have get a good Internet connection. If you do so, test the next port of the switch. Continue until all ports of the switch has been tested.  With luck, they will all work.

  If this is the case... which is likely... then you know that the Ethernet switch is working properly.

  Now things get a little more complicated. Ideally, you have documentation that tells you what Ethernet cable goes to what area of the House. If you don't, just connect the Ethernet cable to the switch... then go to the other end of the Ethernet cable to the wall outlet and connect the computer laptop and short Ethernet cable to the wall socket.

  If you have no documentation to indicate where each cable goes, so go ahead and connect all the Ethernet cables to the switch.

  Still, make sure that the wireless is disabled on the laptop so that it can only connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. Check if you can get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then you know that the individual Ethernet cable and the Ethernet port on the wall are working properly...

  Test other areas one at a time the same way.  You are very likely going to find Ethernet cables or a wall of ports that do not work properly. The hardest part here is that you... or a wire guy... will have to check the Ethernet cable at both ends to ensure that the Ethernet Sockets have been installed correctly.  It is not easy. The wires are tiny and its easy to get involved.  Installation of new Ethernet cards, it's really a job for an experienced guy who will provide hopefully a cable Tester well when it comes.

  Some Ethernet will certainly be replaced.  In rare cases, the cable itself has a break somewhere... and it's not easy to fix something like this, without pulling new cable... that would not be possible according to the House provision.

  When you know that all ports on the switch are working and all ports Ethernet wall around the House work... so... we can get the network set in place and working properly.

• The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

  I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

  Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

  I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

  I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

  Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

  I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

  It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

• optimization of airport extreme for modem arris tg1672

  In reality, my internet speed seems normal. But the orange flashing on my airport extreme is bugging me. Cable company says they do not affect routers and I need to deal with the settings utility airport myself. I don't want to reset all over again, if I am not, but if anyone knows how to "optimize" the airport extreme, I would have powerful.

  The yellow light flashes as the AirPort Extreme has a message for you.

  To find out what it might be... Open the AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme, and a small window appears with information about the product

  If you see an Update button, click on it, if you want to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme to the latest version.

  Otherwise, find the parameter Status , then click on the little orange dot here and another window will open with more information on the 'question' as well as a suggestion to fix things.

• Airport extreme for modem cable via an ethernet switch?

  I can connect the airport extreme to the modem cable via an ethernet switch, or must the extreme connect directly to the modem?

  The answer to your question depends on what type of "modem" cable you may have.

  If you have a simple modem, as in the example below with a single port Ethernet, your network should look like this:

  Internet > Modem > AirPort Extreme > Switch and other devices.

  

  If you have a modem/router, which is actually a modem and a router separate which are combined in a single package, looking for something like the example below, your network may look like this:

  Internet > Modem/Router > switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices

  or... it might look like this:

  Internet > Modem/Router > AirPort Extreme > switch and other devices

  

  If you do not know what kind of modem you have, post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your "modem", and we will do some checking.

• How Airport Extreme wifi be unsafe?

  I created a wired / wireless using a 5th generation Airport Extreme attached to a DSL modem.   It works fine, but I want wifi to not secure - I'm in a rural area, and if someone is close enough to get on my wifi, dogs will ensure I know!

  It doesn't seem to be such an option when I place the extreme in the Airport utility, so I will try to do it after the fact.  I went in Airport utility double-clicked on the extreme, you click on "Edit", select the tab 'Wireless' and 'None' in the dropdown list selected for "Wireless Security".  When I updated the changes, the network seemed to go away.  I had to reset the extreme and set it up again.   What I've done wrong?   I guess I could just create a network of comments, since this is my main reason for wanting to be non-secure.

  I went in Airport utility double-clicked on the extreme, you click on "Edit", select the tab 'Wireless' and 'None' in the dropdown list selected for "Wireless Security".  When I updated the changes, the network seemed to go away.

  Did you also change the name of the wireless network when you did?

  If this isn't the case, you have the same network name that has been set up with a password and the same name network set up to do not use a password.  That will be totally confused all your devices, because they associated the name of the network with the password for the network.

• 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.

• Poor Airport Extreme WIFI coverage

  Hello

  I live in France where my Base Station is an orange "Livebox". It's a big house and I have paired my extreme AP (nine) to my Livebox router by ethernet and use an Express of the AP in the lounge which is connected via Wifi to the extreme of the AP. All works well ut strength Wifi from the extreme to the AP.

  When I'm sitting on my front patio, the Wifi signal from my Livebox shit and cheap Orange, is as good as, or better than, the signal I get from my dear AP extreme. You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  Tom

  You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  It will not be an answer you want to hear, but unfortunately Apple routers are not known for their overall performance or broadcast power same levels... so they are often upgraded by other routers at a fraction of the cost.

  On a site that is well respected, known for their tests of routers, you can see how AirPort Extreme, compared to the other routers in the performance measurement of the WiFi is concerned. (Look far down the list to confirm).

  http://www.SmallNetBuilder.com/tools/charts/router/bar/116-5-GHz-UPDN-c

  Why I have a router from Apple?  Some reasons... (1) it helps me answer questions about the product on this forum... (2) most important reason... are that it is located in an area that is open in our House to ensure good coverage, and my wife liked the style of the better product, compared to other routers.

  In my opinion... With Apple, users pay a lot for the Apple name, the style of Apple and Apple usability.

• Microsoft will provide an end of Cycle cumulative Service Pack 4 for Windows XP?

  I am deeply concerned by the lack of concern for users of Windows XP.  I support a lot of XP machines that are used by the poor, who can hardly afford a computer and many cannot afford Dial-up at home - their only high speed internet is if they have an XP laptop with wifi at a café or an another hotspot.  Most of these users is not super computer users and I provided all service and maintenance of their computer.

  Many times one of these computers will be infected by mistake.  It may be necessary completely reload the operating system.  I have no problem get the computer until XP - SP3 with Dot Net 3.5 and IE8 but the rest updates currently come from Windows Update in which they no longer attend the support of Windows XP.

  I can understand that he had to go.  But Microsoft do not cares less fortunate as they are is not going to provide an end of the cycle to roll up SP4.

  Can someone give me information on how I can get the latest updates for those people who do not have a lot of money to buy a new computer?

  Richard,

  Your best bet would be to integrate your CD of installation of Windows XP with SP3 and all the fixes and security patches that have been published to date.

  You will need the following for this task.

  • The original Windows XP installation CD.
  • A Virgin DVD - RW or DVD-R.
  • The Windows SP3 standalone installer downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24
  • IMGBurn free download here: http://www.imgburn.com/
  • nLite which does the actual work of "slipstreaming" all the original disc for Win XP. Download here: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
  • Enough space on your hard drive to copy all the contents of your Windows XP installation disc.

  See the tutorial on how to proceed here: http://www.nliteos.com/guide/

  If you use a DVD - RW, you can create an integrated installation disc now and then add later. Otherwise wait until 8 April when all support ceases and then create the installation disk.

  I created a DVD slipstreamed with SP3 for me this morning because I have a Win XP SP2 disk and keeps you run the System File Checker to check for corrupted files Windows File Protection.

  nLite is really good application and tutorial illustrated three parts is intuitive and easy to use.

• I have a solid orange light on airport extreme but everything is fully functional, suggestions?  I have reset it.  Thanks in advance.

  I have a solid orange light, but my base station is fully functional.  I have reset the modem, the base station and in airport utility.  Airport utility shows no problem so I don't know what to do now.  Any advice would be great, thank you in advance.

  Is this new? If this is not the case, is what model?

  A fixed orange should be a serious error condition. Looks like it was just connected wrongly and the LED is upside down.

  It changes colour during the start cycle?

  If it is in the care of warranty or apple take it back to apple for replacement. There is nothing you can do about it.

• I currently have photoshop elements 9, can I pay for upgrade and update the 14 items?

  I have the software for Elements 9. I tried to install on my new laptop to find 1: I don't have a disk drive on the laptop and 2: Elements 9 is not compatible with windows 10.

  If I had to pay for the upgrade for the 14 items I'd be able to insert sort my serial number for my 9 upgrade items and it'll work because elements 9 is not actually installed on the laptop?

  Yes as long as you have the serial number of PSE9. You can upgrade a previous version. Why not use this link to download and test the program as a free trial for 30 days. No additional installation is required if you decide to keep buying the upgrade.
