  Yes. You can connect any Ethernet device to that port.

• AirPort Extreme: extend only 5 GHz network

  I have a Time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) set up to expand my WiFi network at our show in the stairs.

  Sorry, but no. When you extend an Apple base station, two radio stations are extended.

• 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?

• Why can't I use my Airport Extreme routers to extend my Google fiber network?

  I had waited for a long time, and finally got Google fiber installed at my house this afternoon.  I had been so excited and had everything for my home network mapped out.

  I've never used router Wi - Fi an ISP, but I read that so many good things about the fiber of Google box Wi - Fi I had planned to make the core of my Wi - Fi network home.  The plan was to have the Google through my home box.

  I have two base stations Airport Extreme AC I used with my old set up with Time Warner.  My plan was to use to extend my Google Wi - Fi network with a floor and one on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to get there.

  I did a hard reset on two of my Airport Extreme routers and went to set them up as extensions, but I can't do it.  I have open Airport utility, select my device, choose 'Other Options', select 'Add to an existing network' and click Next...  Each time, my only option is to create a new network.

  Does anyone know a way around this?  I would really like to be able to have a base station wireless AC in every room of my house.  I also need the Airport Extreme routers set up somewhere in the chain so I can continue to do my wireless Time Machine backups.  Any tips?  I am currently very frustrated.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Unfortunately, Apple routers will not be able to extend wireless signal of a 3rd party router. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is that routers Apple will extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple.

  If you could install another Apple router near the Google router and connect the Apple router using an Ethernet cable to the router fiber, and configure the router from Apple provides wireless... then... other airports will be able to extend the signal of the "main" Apple router

  You can use the fiber for a second wireless network or comments... or... If you need another network, there is probably a way to disable the wireless router fiber.

  Another option... If possible... would be to run both of your Apple routers Ethernet cables to the router of fiber. Then, Apple routers can be configured to extend the network of fiber like that.  Note that Ethernet cables should be left in place permanently with this option.

• Extend my cable modem network via Airport express and Time Capsule

  I am trying to expand my home network through my Airport express AND a Time Capsule. Installation of extension through the airport was easy and successful. I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule, but it gives me the opportunity to launch a new network. What do different to fix my Tim Capsule to my global network?

  I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you want... given that the function of "extend a wireless network" Apple will not accept to be extended once the network is not two.

  The other question that you probably, it is that unless your 'main' router is also another router from Apple, the Express is not really 'extension' of the network at all, despite what you think.  More likely, the Express is "membership" in the network. It can be used to connect a USB printer remote in this environment or for use with AirPlay... but the Express doesn't "spread" or "repeat" when he joined the network.

  If you want to check if the Express is really extend the network, and you have a Mac laptop... after back and provide you with a few steps.

  But even if the Express could be the extension of the network... Time Capsule will have to connect to the network using a permanent, wired cables Ethernet... ideally to your main router, but it might work OK if you connect to the Express.

• Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

  Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

  You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

  If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

  Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

  Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

• Extend an AirPort network

  Hi, I have several devices from the Airport (1 airport Time Capsule 'version 7.7.7', 2 Airport extreme 'version 7.7.7' and 3 airport expresses 'version 7.6.7') that I use in our House. Latest generation.

  My problem is that when I want to expand coverage, I connect directly to the main Airport base station. It's not send me good results because the main access point is located at one end of the House.

  Here's what I want to do:

  Call the main base station (1), and an airport extreme (2) and an Airport Express (3).

  Currently 2 extends 1, and I can't make 3 extend 2. Is there a way for 3 to extend 2? Even if I lose the network wireless on 3, that all I need is to connect using ethernet.

  Currently 2 extends 1, and I can't make 3 extend 2. Is there a way for 3 to extend 2?

  No, not in the sense that Wireless devices will be able to connect to 3.  Wireless devices will be connected to the 2. Another way of saying the same thing is that a network can not be extended twice wireless, the network can be extended only once. Please see this quote from Apple of an Apple support document to confirm:

  Important note

  

  If another extended ➋ terminal of Wi - Fi is placed between primary ➊ Terminal Wi - Fi and the prolonged use of Wi - Fi base station ➌, the ➌ extended station basic Wi - Fi will allow not guests to join her. All extended Wi - Fi base stations must be direct scope of station primary base of Wi - Fi

  Even if I lose the network wireless on 3, that all I need is to connect using ethernet.

  Implement the 3 AirPort Express to "join a wireless network", not "extend a wireless network. When the AirPort Express Terminal "attached" to a wireless network, it will not provide additional wireless coverage, but the LAN Ethernet on the Express ports are enabled, then it is possible to connect any Ethernet device to the network in this way, use the Express for AirPlay, or connect a compatible USB printer. Here, I assume that you have the latest version of the Express A1392, or the previous version of A1264.

• I want to use a Terminal Airport Express to extend network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through another airport base.  Is there a way to do this?  I understand that Apple does not support this, but surely there must be a way to do this.

  Can someone tell me how to set up an Airport Express Terminal to expand Network provided by my Fios router/modem without going through an airport as a base?  I understand that apple does not support this use, but my applecare Advisor said it's possible.  Thank you!

  Unfortunately, your AppleCare Advisor is wrong if he or she has told you that an AirPort Express to extend wireless signal of a Fios router/modem.

  Function of "Extend a wireless network" Apple is an exclusive feature that was designed by Apple engineers to extend the signal from another wireless only router from Apple. Thus, the AirPort Express... or any other router Apple besides... would not be able to extend wireless a Fios network.

  SO... you have the possibility to locate the Airport Express where it is needed... And... Connect it to the Fios router/modem with a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection, then the AirPort Express can 'extend' in this way.

  Or... If you are ready to add a second AirPort Express, connect the first near Fios modem/router with an Ethernet cable, then the second Airport Express could extend the signal first Express wireless.

  Another way to say the same thing, is that if you want an Apple AirPort router to extend wireless network... then you need two Apple routers to achieve this goal.

• Airport for Time Machine utility settings / Airport Extreme network

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my former Network Time Capsule, to extend my Wi - Fi. I have read many posts and checked different websites, but I'm just getting more and more confused.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5. What would my network settings in Airport utility to the Airport Extreme and time for a better return Capsule?

  How can I find out if the two grow Wi - Fi?

  I just added a new Airport Extreme to my network of Time Capsule prior to extend my Wi - Fi

  I think we got it... and we understand. This tells us that you have added an AirPort Extreme to the core network to ensure the widest coverage Time Capsule wireless.

  My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5.

  No, unfortunately, we do not have it.  This tells us that your AirPort Extreme is the main router and that you have added a time Capsule to provide wider coverage wireless for the AirPort Extreme network.

  Sorry, but we are confused. Which of your statements above is correct?

  AirPort Extreme extends to the Time Capsule network, or have you changed your network so that the Capsule extends the AirPort Extreme network?

  Could you please provide the serial number and the model of your DSL modem?

• Network slow 2nd Airport Extreme AC reviews

  Hello:

  We have two units of the Airport Extreme AC. One of them (the principal) is connected to our cable modem, and the other (secondary) is connected to the primary via ethernet.  The secondary AC unit allows to extend our networks wireless in another part of our House.  We used the Airport 6.3.6 utility to configure both units in HQ.

  We have three different wireless networks.  One of them is our 5G, the other 2. 4 g, and the third is our network of comments.  5G and 2.4 G networks have the same password, and the guest network has a different password.

  Everything seems to work perfectly, with the exception of the network invited on our secondary AC unit only.  It is very slow; less than 2 Mbps using speedtest.net.  All our other wireless networks (including comments on the primary AC network) to the Internet from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps speeds.

  A few more details.  Our secondary air conditioning unit is configured in Bridge mode, and it's 'creation' (not extending not) our wireless networks.  This secondary unit was created in this way by the Airport utility.

  Anyone has an idea why our network comments on the secondary AC unit is so slow?

  Thank you!

  It is a problem with the design of the network.

• Best settings for a wireless home network?

  I want to get help on a somewhat complicated setup: my connection in optical fiber gets into my house to a room in the basement. I have a last generation Asus router, which spreads the signal through various Ethernet cables. Wi - fi is disabled, because it wouldn't reach anywhere. Upstairs, I have a new airport time capsule, which creates the main WiFi network for the home. However, it dose not brought into the world. In the box where I want to extend the signal, I have a 5th generation AirPort Extreme (it does not support the alternative signal) connected to an Ethernet jack.

  Now my questions:

  1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

  2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

  3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

  I hope that I have explained clearly, I'm only half of technology warned, and I am a bit lost...

  1. my Time Capsule should be set to bridge mode, because it is connected to a router? Do not forget that I can't exclude this router because it brings the signal via a cable to other places.

  Own configuration of Apple software, AirPort utility you should implement in Bridge Mode time Capsule to avoid a network error called Double NAT. But, ironically, if you call Apple support, they will tell you 'ignore' the Double NAT error and run time Capsule as another router on the network.

  Normally, you can avoid having a Double NAT error on the network, because that might lead to other problems, Apple boards so... If you call them... is controversial. Basically, it seems that Apple wants a router from Apple in charge of both the network possible... not another router.

  So, you will need to decide what advice to Apple you want to try.

  2. If the answer to the above is Yes, is there a way to establish a network of wi - fi comments?

  The feedback network option will not work correctly if the Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

  3. What are the best settings for the Airport Extreme, which is supposed to extend the signal? It is better to create a new wifi network, as it is connected via Ethernet, or should I put it to extend an existing wifi network?

  "Extend a wireless network" is used only when the airport connects to another router from Apple using a Wi - Fi connection. Since you will use Ethernet to connect, you would use "create a wireless network" setting.

  But, you won't have to worry about this if you are using Apple Configuration "Wizard" to set up the AirPort Extreme... it automatically applies the correct settings.

• Several networks on Time Capsule

  Can someone explain to me why I have several networks? I went through the Airport utility, and I find myself with 5 networks. I understand the 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz, but it seems to be confusing to some of my mottos (xBox, Wii, etc.). Thank you.

  

  You do not tell us how many airport routers, you might have, but it looks like you have 3 devices... unless you named the guest network the same as your main network.

  Recent versions of the airport are simultaneous dual-band, so they produce a signal Wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with the same network name.  So, it's 2 networks for a router.

  If you have a second airport, set up to extend or expand the network, then it too will be 2 networks with the same wireless network name. So, it's more than 2 networks for the second airport... for a total of 4 so far.

  Pourriez you have a version of a band unique AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express. So it's 1 over the network.  Or, if you have a recent version of the airport, the scan did not pick up the 'other' network at the time.

  Total... 5 networks.  Quite normal.

  Wireless devices choose the router with the signal the harder... at least in theory... then choose 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz according to their abilities and the distance to the airport.

  Of course, a feature which is 2.4 GHz only will connect to the 2.4 GHz network, then... in theory... it will choose the strongest signal 2.4 GHz of the nearest router.

  If a device can connect to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz... It will be connected to 5 GHz, if it's in the same room or in immediate proximity to the router. But as signals of 5 GHz are much lower than 2.4 GHz signals, the same device will connect probably in 2.4 GHz if she moves a piece or two away from the router.

• Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

  This may be long but im giving information as possible.

  I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

  In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

  Reset my router
  Reformat my computer
  Reset my xbox 360
  Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
  Disabled windows firewall
  Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
  went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
  Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
  UPnp enabled in my router settings
  Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
  Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
  Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

  Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

  One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

  Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

  Network equipment:
  Router Linksys WRT54G
  Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

  works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.

• Cannot access the Web Configuration of RE1000 page once I have connected to my wireless network

  I can't access the Setup page of my wireless range Extenders RE1000 via IP 192.168.1.1 address once I have connected the Extender to my wireless network.  I was connected to the router via my mac and even took my mac out of wireless networks (just to be sure he wasn't trying to get to the IP 192.168.1.1 wireless.

  It happened a few times.  After it happened the first time I reset the access point and was able to get back to the web administration page.  I updated the firmware and exactly the same problem repeated once I plugged in my network home.

  This is a security feature? (Perhaps once it's on the wifi network you don't want just anybody access admin functions...?) A bug?  Or something else?

  Thank you

  If you don't set a static on the RE when IP address configure it on the connection of the SSID, it will grab an IP address from the router. You need to look in the router DHCP client table to find the RE of the new IP address. You can also use a reservation DHCP from the router to assign an IP address to the STIMULUS, but static IP is the best.
