explosion of comcast Airport extreme Setup

Recently, I upgraded my Comcast for a Blast 150Mbps connection.  However, through to 2015 Airport Extreme, I get only ~ 40-70Mbps, so that if I bypass it with the CAT5 directly in my Macbook Pro, I get what I should be 130-150 Mbps.  What should I do to set the base station to get it and my surfboard SB6121 to play nice with each other?

Thanks in advance,

David

Unfortunately, the series of Arris/Motorola SB61XX modem seems to be incompatible with the base stations of 802.11ac AirPort (potentially, 802.11n models as well.) This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical questions are interrupted connectivity and low rate of transfer via the WAN - LAN interface. Two models of replacement recommended: Zoom 5341J & the Cisco DPC3008.

Regardless, it is recommended to use a modem that is approved by your ISP.

In addition, a number of large ISPS were the deployment of IPv6. You can check if your AirPort Extreme is properly configured for this service. Comcast has provided this link.

  • Airport Extreme REPLACE Comcast xfinity box of fact?

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, do I put up to REPLACE my current Comcast xfinity box (coax in, ethernet Mac, wifi for iPhones) or it is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Any advice?

    Thank you very much

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, I put up to REPLACE my existing Comcast xfinity box (coax in)

    No, since AirPort Extreme is not a modem... it has no co - ax entered... it's a router only.

    It is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    Yes, but there is really no reason to add an AirPort Extreme, since your gateway is actually a modem and router within a single package. If you add the AirPort Extreme, you will have a modem and two routers... probably something you need not... unless you need more wireless networks.

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Adding an AirPort Extreme to your gateway will not solve this problem.  Maybe a different model or brand of gateway that could solve the problem. You must check with Comcast on this possibility.

  • Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

    I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

    Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

    So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

    FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

    I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

    Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

    It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

    If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

    If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

    Port scan started...

    Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

    Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

    Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

    Port scan has completed...

    My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

    BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

    TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

    See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

  • Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

    Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

    However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

    So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

    The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

    When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

    Thank you.

    Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

    When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

    If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

    You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

    Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

    How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

    If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

    This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.

  • Airport Extreme delay in navigation

    Hello community,

    Need your help to solve this problem, went recently with a brand new Apple Airport Extreme, I have comcast as my ISP, I own my own a modem surfboard 6183 I have the service of the explosion. I'm running a brand new late 2015 5 k iMac. I had a router Netgear before this one and when I went on the navigation pages, everything was quick and fast, now that I have Airport Extreme, I noticed that it is not as fast as it was before and it feels like a slight delay when you go to the pages, is still not happen but its 'there' If you know what I mean. Someone at - it suggestions? I use Safari as my browser. Happy to add more info if needed.

    There are problems known between all modems of the sb series and airports... especially the AC series...

    The problem is not related to either be defective... they don't like each other.

    My recommendation is to replace the Modem... the Zoom works much better... However, I must warn you... It is not the panacea for all ills.

    Zoom modem.

    Or to replace the AE as the main router... you can always keep it to wireless and even part of the DHCP server... but not the main router. A cheap substitute may well work... since it does not need wireless... I recommend one of the TP-Link for example WR1043ND v2 or v3, which costs only $50.

  • Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

    Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

    Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

    Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

    To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

    Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

    When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

  • How to fill Airport extreme wth my DSL router

    I am interested to buy an airport extreme and I currently have a DSL WiFi router. can I fill my current setup and then copy it into the new airport extreme, and then turn off my WiFi in my DSL router? in other words, I wish the Airport extreme to be the main WiFi, I hope I'm supposed?

    You cannot copy between dissimilar model routers.

    And there is absolutely no reason and without having to turn off the current router wifi and every reason to leave it on.

    The extreme must be in bridge including the Apple Installer mode to remove the wireless of comments. So I encourage you to just run two wireless networks... (there bandwidth to run 3 without causing problems).

    Create the wireless on the extreme with your own new values wireless... and you connect some Apple devices you want.

    But you can do what you want... just use the existing router SSID in the airport and use his password... However, this can cause problems for clients who expect a single Assembly and find that they are connected to something unknown.

  • Airport Extreme + Express + older Express audio dropouts

    My setup is as follows:

    Coaxial cable-operator-> cable modem provider-> Airport Extreme via Cat5e

    Express #1 a few feet away, analog stereo output, extreme network expansion

    #2 2 parts away, similar stereo out, Express extreme network extension

    2014 Macbook pro, Yosemite

    When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable. For example, the macbook is right next to the Express #2, streaming internet radio and play through internal speakers. When I send also the audio to Express #2 (multiple speakers in itunes), which express audio stream is sporadic, although the internal speakers turned on constantly. I would have thought dropouts would leave as the macbook approached #2, but there is virtually no change.

    If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2? Possible Express #2 is working to expand the network ok but does not just for airplay? It is a first or second generation.

    Thank you!

    What are the exact models of each of your airport base stations?

    When I broadcast iTunes on Express #1, is generally well from anywhere. When I listen to #2 (either by itself or in addition #1) I get occasional audio drop outs anywhere, the macbook is, even though my internet remains stable.

    The main path that AirPlay takes when streaming to your configuration is:

    • Starting from the host of iTunes MacBook to AirPort Extreme.
    • Extreme for:
      • Express #1 if this Express is chosen as the "speaker" AirPlay, or
      • #2 has been chosen as speaker, express or
      • At the time, if the two were chosen as speaker.

    Thus, it is possible that the path includes several obstacles (walls) for AirPlay to go.

    If the macbook is right next to the #2 Express, he continued directly towards the #2 or that made a trip to the extreme and #2?

    AirPlay, in theory, go first to the base station that iTunes host is connected to.

    When you extend, you lose a significant amount of bandwidth just to keep the network wireless in this configuration. So the question is: do you really need to expand your network or continuously more important for you?

  • Apple Airport Extreme and new FIOS router - problem

    Hello, I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station, which worked well with a Comcast router.  When you set up with Comcast router, I set the router to comcast to bridge and the Airport Extreme has done all the work as the main router. When I switched to Verizon FIOS today, I get the typical mistake of NAT double (that I did with the Comcast before configuring the router to Comcast to bridge).  However, the tech support guy FIOS said that was not an option, so he set up my Airport Extreme in bridge - router off mode mode.  This really live to the top incoming access using SSH, Timbuktu or the Apple screen sharing, given that I can't assign fixed IP addresses to the computers on my network and can not use the Airport Utility Network Port settings to open "pipes" for a particular computer.  In addition, I'm more comfortable using Airport Extreme, rather than things FIOS. Someone at - it other than enter Comcast suggestions?

    I did a search and didn't see a post on this in the discussion forum.  Thank you

    What is the brand and model of your router Verizon? Verizon provides you with administrator access to it to allow you to make changes?

  • Airport Express in client mode to serve Airport Extreme

    Hi guys,.

    I am struggling with Setup in our business that is pretty special. Our cash register, the Bank Terminal and the control system are all serviced by an Airport Extreme that was configured with care by a dedicated company. The extreme is powered via an Ethernet based modem. The basic modem is a box any of the internet service provider in our country that has four ethernet ports and a basic WIFI network that we open for customers. As the basic modem is too far from the extreme, a powerline sitecom was initially used to carry the signal to the modem from basic to the extreme.

    But the powerline connection was poor, so they advised me to replace the powerline by an Airport Express in client mode, which converts the client base modem wifi signal ethernet to the WAN port on the extreme. I installed the Express exactly as described by Apple (AirPort Express: how to join an existing client mode - Apple Support Wi - Fi network) and the entire installation ran smooth for about an hour. At a time of seemingly random, all of a sudden the extreme complains that the internet connection is lost. In airport utility, the extreme flashes green, but the internet icon is orange and the notification indicates that the connection is lost. However, the Express flashes green and is always connected to the WIFI which worked again properly, I confirmed. Restart the extreme and Express to solve the problem, but only temporarily. After some time, the extreme complained again that the internet is lost.

    Can someone explain what could cause this problem and how to solve? Thanks in advance.

    From your description, I guess that the WiFi connection between the base modem and the AirPort Express is where you need to solve problems more far. Looks like that the modem is not a simple modem, but a combination modem and the wireless router, also known as the name of a gateway device.

    Nevertheless, the best solution would be to use an Ethernet cable dedicated between the "modem" and the AirPort Extreme. Bypassing the Express all together. The next would be Powerline adapters. I'm a little surprised that those you used works well for you. Unfortunately, the scenario of 'worse' bandwidth performance is what you're doing now is to use the AirPort Express as an Ethernet bridge Wireless Terminal

    However, if you have no other choice in the matter, where you then place the Express can make a difference. You want to Express to be in a db 25 + range of report Signal to noise (SNR) of the modem. This will allow the Express maintain a connection compatible with this modem wireless network. To find out how to measure SNR, discover the next Tip of an airport users for details. Please post back your results.

  • Wifi configuration with Airport Extreme (A1143), iMac (El Capitan) running. Need of a direction.

    I recently moved to a City University and living in a housing facility run by the University. It's got broadband by Comcast for free with the room. I plugged all the necessary equipment (modem and cable) to the iMac and the internet works well for a week now.

    Now I want Wifi for the apartment. I decided to dust off my old 1st or 2nd Gen extreme base station Airport. I read that it can still work with El Capitan, so I went and tried to install it. First of all, I updated the firmware and connected the appropriate cables. Everything seemed to go in the direction of the work, but I hit a bump on the road. Wifi works for the iMac. I unplugged the ethernet cable and it's receiving internet, but I tried to get my iPad Wifi and smart phone and it doesn't seem to work. I used the good passwords etc. Nothing.

    I found it odd that I get Wifi to my iMac, although the Airport Extreme light is orange. Normally, it should be green. Of course, I don't use this thing in forever and actually don't think it would work, but so far the iMac becomes Wifi, but aren't the other devices and auburn is turned on. So here's a screenshot of what I see in the Airport utility.

    Can anyone help or point me to the right direction? Also it has to do with the campus of the internet, I'm getting?

    The attached picture shows it's getting to the internet via wifi (not plugged into the modem) but he doesn't seem to get wifi on my other devices in the apartment. The Airport base station we connected directly to the Modem. I also followed the steps of my iMac had originally planned to make it work and it did, but only for the iMac. I expect the unit to green thereafter but he did not. What gives?

    The A1143 was introduced in January 2007 and arrested in March 2009, so the model you have is at least 7 years and older, and as much as 9 + depending on when the product has been implemented.

    The average lifetime of a router designed for home use is about 5 years, so we're not sure how much time and effort you want to invest in AirPort Extreme you have there.

    Frankly, it is remarkable that the product works for the iMac, because status messages indicate that you have an Internet connection.  We cannot explain this one.

    We also don't know if amber on the most convenient airport is flashing, or remains Orange fixed. Can clarify you on this, please?

    If you want to try to start over again and set up the AirPort Extreme, the first bit of information that we need is the number of brand and model of your modem.  We don't need a serial number, only the manufacturer name and number for the modem to the model.

    We will try to help, but who can give no assurance that we will be able to get things working for you.

  • Airport utility show that airport extreme has a problem, but it remains inaccessible

    My Airport extreme began to play up.  As you can see in the picture, it seems to have a problem and cannot be opened for editing.  I tried several times to do a hard reset and reinstall my setup.  It works and the network remains functional, but after a few minutes, the Base Station will appear with this warning sign.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    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.
      • Note: You may need to use the option "configure others...". "to access the base station. Enter the IP address of the base station, the default value is: 10.0.1.1 and base station administrator password when you are prompted.
    • 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.
