Extend the network 1 Extreme and 1 Express

I have the latest Airport Extreme, and I would like to extend my network to the floor with best performance.  I have the ability to connect to an Airport Express Terminal via an Ethernet cable.  My question is this... If I set up a roaming network using the Express connected via a Cat5 cable or Cat6 will be broadcasting from the Express (capable of) wireless A/B/G/N/AC channels?  Or he can do A/B/G/N?  Assuming that I bought the last Airport Express Terminal.  Or, if I wanted to AC that I have to use a second Airport Extreme?

The Airport Express is not capable, "ac", so if you want to use "ac" of speed signals more high, you'll need another AirPort Extreme.

In both cases, you can use Configuration Apple 'Wizard' to automatically configure the AirPort Express or Airport Extreme for a network roaming... than Apple installation called 'Spread with Ethernet' in their installation utility.

    AirPort Extreme and airport express bought in Europe will work in the United States?

    Airports will work on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so they'll work wise power, about anywhere in the world, assuming that you have a power adapter to change the European plug to a US plug.  A voltage converter is not necessary.

    European wireless operated from 1-13 and the United States channels 1-11, so you will need to make sure that you use 1-11 If you want other users to be able to connect to the wireless signal.

  • With the help of a second domestic airport to extend the network

    I have an Airport Extreme (MD031LL/A), connected to a modem via an ethernet cable and it works perfectly as a WiFi router for my house. I have also an Airport Express (MC414LL/A) I want to use as a second router to extend the reach of the Wifi signal, which works when connected via a cable to the Airport Extreme (continuous green light), but when I unplug the ethernet cable the Airport Express falls out of the network (Amber led flashing). I've updated the router time firmwear and repowered and reset everything, including 'forget' the devices via the Airport utility which I got on my MacBook Pro, but not luck. Books Online says the network should see the second router, waiting with flashing light amber, but it does not work.

    Any suggestions?

    Please note, it is not ideal for me running extended ethernet cable, I would like to as the relay to be wireless.

    I am assuming that you are using a Mac running a current or recent operating system... or... you use the installer on an iPhone or an iPad, right?

    If you want the AirPort Express to extend wireless signal in AirPort Extreme... then you would not use an Ethernet cable to the configuration... Since the installer detects the Ethernet connection and configure the AirPort Express Terminal accordingly.

    However, if you are able to locate the Airport Express where you need more coverage... and... an Ethernet cable from the Express back to AirPort Extreme... which must remain connected permanently... This would be the way to go.  The reason is that you will lose about half of the potential speed on the entire network when you try to Express to extend the network using a wireless connection.

    But, if you can not run the cable, you can not.  If you need a little more advice on installation, after return to confirm how the Express connect to AirPort Extreme and let us know what operating system is installed on the device you will use to configure the Express.

  • Extend the network wireless with roaming function

    Hello

    I was looking for some advice on my project to the top. I currently have my SKY router (wifi off) connected to an older time capsule which is almost full, so I'm about to buy a new one and I can use the old one plus one new airport extreme/express to extend the network of thought. I think three points would be best as its quite a large sector, I wish to address. I would like that it either under one SSID using the roaming capabilities I've read are possible with the airports and would hand off a signal strong etc.

    Unfortunately, I don't have the option of it being fully wired but planned to use the powerline rather than wifi adapters because I don't want to lose too much speed. I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

    Can someone advise if the setting above would work or if there is a better way (without cabling package together) and if I would be best for extreme or the express for the 3rd point?

    If anyone has any configuration Advisor if this is the best set up then that would be also appreciated?

    Thank you very much

    I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

    Configure each extension to use the exact same network name (SSID), the same level of security wireless and same password wireless. Then you will have a roaming network.

  • Received a warning to unidentified on the network computer. Under the status of the network looked up and saw a computer I don't know anything. What is - this and how?

    Original title: computer not identified on the network

    Received a warning to unidentified on the network computer. Under the status of the network looked up and saw a computer I know nothing on my network. What is - this and what that can do. ?

    Implement the security of your network... How to do depends on details. If your network is at home on a wifi router, and then implement WPA2, which will prevent unauthorized as well as encryption of your data access.  Follow these steps on the router itself (once again the details depend on your situation.)

    While I'd love to implement WPA2, WPA2 will not accept my network and I am limited to WPA.  My point is that if it is a wireless intrusion (we don't even know if it's wireless at this point), then the security settings on the router must first be discussed with the manufacturer ISP or router so that they are appropriate for devices and services and programs.

    It could also be a USB transmitter attached to the computer.  It might be the malicious program or a problem with the firewall or a real hack of the computer through the firewall or caused by malicious software (even if you use cables or wireless).  It could be the entire network (but the number of computers which implies) or only this one computer.  It could also be a system service using the network and not really another computer in itself (in office what he says and where - some may be difficult to recognize and interpreted as another computer).  There are many possibilities.  We do not know what the warning generation program or what he says.  More information is needed.  I would also like to work on it - and it can follow to her new home.

  • Ad Hoc network. even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    I'm living in a college dorm and only have access to the internet via a hard line to my computer. So I wanted to give my other accessibility of consumer electronics set up an Ad-Hoc network and share the internet connection. When I originally set up the network it works fine, but after the devices go to sleep or I leave the room it stops working. I had problems to keep the internet connection to share continually, which I fixed it. I then had a DHCP problem with the hard line that has been resolved through troubleshooting function. Now, even if the network is active and is connected to the internet my devices cannot connect and then the network shuts down.

    Is there a way to create an Ad Hoc network that works similar to a wireless router, so when my computer is turned, it works automatically? If so, how can I make this happen without these problems?

    Hello

    I suggest to activate temporarily the antivirus as well as windows firewall and check if it helps.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

    I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

    You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

  • Best way to extend the network of Apple using Cat5 and wireless, but with access to the same network

    Appreciate any help here.

    I need to extend my network coverage for the part out of my house where the current signal does not cover.

    I have a Time capsule in the office connected to my Modem and then created a wireless (XXXX) network that connects to the extreme in my front room... .well when I'm in my room before the signal does not increase when I go near the extreme... and maybe it's that I'm still picking up XXX to my Time Capsule wireless network.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5 and therefore the extreme would be able to stream my network wireless XXXX?

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which currently gets no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or must it come directly from the TC?   (and again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Ideally, I want the network to be possible STB and flavours around the House, and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would accomplish that... but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX wifi network I have printers, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    Oh... and 1 other point, I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... is - it possible... and that has to be directly connected to the time Capsule and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Hope that makes sense... but please let me know if you need more details.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5

    Yes. Hate to be picky here, but I hope you'll use CAT5, CAT5e cabling being quite a bit obsolete.

    wireless network and if so the extreme would be able to stream my XXXX?

    Yes

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which gets currently no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device

    Yes, but it would be preferable to cables to connect the 3rd to the main TC, if that's an option.

    or does have to come directly from the TC?

    No, but it would be better if she could, if this is an option.

    and once again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Yes

    and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would achieve this

    That is right. Ethernet is always the best choice in terms of performance.

    but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX same wifi network I printer, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    That should work well.  However, you may not aware that most of the PC and iOS devices not 'automatically' between different wireless access points as they move from one place to the other.  For example, you have your iPhone near the time Capsule, so he'll be looking for a strong signal from the time Capsule. If you move the close AirPort Extreme iPhone or any other device 3rd... the iPhone usually will stay connected to wireless Time Capsule... even if a stronger signal may be available in another wireless access point. Nature of the beast with IOS devices.

    Thus, with most of the PC and iOS devices, you will have to get used to temporarily turn off the WiFi on the iOS device when you move from one place to the other, then re - turn on WiFi once the device is close to the other wireless access point. The iOS device then generally will pick up the strongest signal from the nearest access point.

    Portable Mac computers will generally do a good job of automatically 'switching' to pick up the best signal of different access points in you walking the laptop around the House.

    I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... It is possible.

    Yes, but the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet ports or 10/100/1000, then the switch is going to limit the maximum speed on the network at 100 Mbps when the devices are capable of much higher speed.  If you plan to invest in the installation of Ethernet wiring around the House, then you also want to invent a new Gigatibit Ethernet 10/100/1000 switch, because it will allow up to 10 times faster compared to a 10/100 switch network connections.

    can do this via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or need to come directly from the TC?

    Yes, but it would be best to connect the switch to the time Capsule if it is an option.

    and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Yes

  • Can I use an old station Airport Express to extend your network using a new Airport Express Terminal?

    I had an old Airport Express station and wanted to exchange for a newer version and use the old ones to expand the range in our House. Is this possible?

    By 'old' are you referring to the AirPort Express (model A1084) to 802.11 g? If Yes, then you won't be able to use it to extend the latest Express with a wireless connection between them.

    However, you can use it in a roaming network configuration, which would force base stations to be connected by Ethernet.

  • use time capsule 4th generation to extend the network

    Can I use the time Capsule (4th generation) to extend a network? I would like to connect via Ethernet to a router (Belkin) of non-Apple. Thank you.

    -> Belkin router-> Ethernet cable modem-> Time Capsule-> wifi network products in another part of the House

    Yes, it works perfectly.

    The TC will be in bridge mode...

    The wireless will be defined to create a wireless network.

    You can use the distinct name to the Belkin Wireless... or you can use a name identical to the Belkin with identical password wireless and security setting... This is called roaming network, so in theory, you can wear around your wireless devices and they swap "tours" as a mobile phone... Sounds good in theory... a little less than the sum of the parts actually.

  • I can ONLY connect to the internet with IE7 and Outlook Express

    I have Win XP SP3, home wired network, Netgear router, cable internet, Lenovo desktop.
    I can run IE 7 and Outlook Express and connect to the internet very well with these.  However, I can not connect using FireFox.  Windows Update returns an error and does NOT connect to scan my computer and display the necessary updates.  I just installed tax program this year HR CD block and it is unable to connect to internet to download the updates.  I used IE7 to go to the web site of the tax program to download the update manually, but it doesn't connect either.  I also can't complete installation OF Adobe (Digital Editions) program because it must connect to the internet in order to make a registration.

    I have disabled the Windows Firewall, do not have a configured proxy.  So, I can browse the internet with IE7 and get email with Outlook express.  I went on the site from Google Chrome to try to download it and install it that (using IE7 of course), but after I press the "Download" button, IE7 says that it cannot connect to perform the download.

    I scanned this forum and not seen similar symptoms that would allow me to reach a solution.  Everyone knows about this issue and how to resolve?

    P.S. I have two other laptops Win XP which CAN completely connect to internet with IE and Firefox via the same router and the modem cable.

    I tried trojan remover and none of the things in the menu utils found any problems.

    But it turns out that my problem was a hidden/partial copy of Symantec Client Firewall that I thought was deleted.  Over the months some programs had been updated and Symantec didn't know about them, so it was blocking their access: FROM Adobe, HR Block, IE8, Firefox, etc.  Given that I have not seen it listed in the start menu and it was not listed in Add/Remove Programs, I didn't have to try to remove it.  And it was not poping up to tell me of a new program attempts to access the Internet.

    I used the Symantec tool to remove all THE stuff of Symantec and it cleared up my connection problems.  I then reinstalled Symantec Client Security (antivirus and firewall) and turned off the Windows Firewall.

  • 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.
