• Airport extreme will reconnect not extended wireless network

  The power to my Airport Express (2nd version; 802.11n) has been inadvertently disconnected and it does not now restore for extended wireless network.  I have an Airport Extreme (802.11ac) that hosts the network.  I have soft, hard, and factory resets to the Express.  Airport utility says that an "unexpected error occurred, try again."  I have, over and over again.  Airport utility finds the Express after a reset.  After initial connect failure, I brought the two devices in the same room.  Should I reset the extreme as well and start over?  V10.11.3 OS X, v. 6.3.6 Airport utility.  Thanks for your help.

  At this point, I would say that you make the Express in the same room as the extreme. Go ahead and perform a reset on the only default Express. Wait for it to finish.

  You should now be able to 'see' the Express in the list menu drop-down airport the two OS X menu bar and on your Mac AirPort Utility. In the menu bar is should appear as something like Apple network NNNNNN. It should appear as a Terminal AirPort Express, AirPort Utility.

  If you get the message "unexpected error", check the following on your Mac:

  • Make sure that IPv6 is configured for: link-local only. You can find this setting in system preferences > network > advanced > Ethernet or Wi - Fi (according to your Mac is connected to the network) > configure IPv6
  • If your Mac is connected to the extreme by Ethernet, activate the Wi - Fi connector in system preferences > network

• Extender wireless Xbox with an xbox game?

  I need to extend the range of my wireless controller.  I wonder if I can do this with an Extender for wireless game xbox plugged into the USB port on the xbox 360.   Does anyone know if it would work or if the extension of wireless game works only with a windows PC?

  Hello

  You answered your question about the extender.coming extend the range - as far as I know you must be within 30 feet or so to use the contoller with a console. You should also have the console out in the open so that the signal can not be hindered at all.  Keep off cabients and above all to have the console in the same room.  Another thing to keep in mind is to keep anything that uses a frequency of 2.4 ghz of the console and the controller.  Items such as microwaves or wireless phones can disrupt the singal.
  I have two 360 side by side, and controllers synchronize with the wrong console.  You must manually specify a synchronization on the console and the controller, and I doubt scope is limited to avoid cross-synchronization

  It makes more sense to me that the beach is limited because they do not expect someone to sit 30 away from their console.  most of the consoles are a few feet from the TV, and most of the people do not sit 30 away from their televisions... even with a big screen tv, sitting 30 away from the console are a way of looooong away.the controller range is wide enough.  I can get out of my game room, in the living room and the kitchen and I still have the controller in the range (the signal passes through 2 walls and more than 2 rooms) .i have never seen a Repeater or a range-extender for a 360 controller.  I suppose someone could make one, but it would not surprise me, because I doubt that there is much demand for a controller who works more than 30 feet far.

• Problems with getting WAP54g repeat (extend) wireless network

  At one of our offices, we have a Cisco ASA5505 firewall that has dhcp active. I have a WRT54G Router plugged into this active firewall with DHCP. The scope of our internal network is 192.168.51 *, but when it is connected to the WRT54G, it gives you the scope of 192.168.1. * We have an antenna amplifier screwed into one of the ports on the router antenna. This configuration all works very well.

  The problem is to install a WAP54G access point in a building on the property (picks up the signal fine wireless router) to repeat the signal wireless at the rear of the property where the router will not reach. I've read that all you have to do is type the routher wireless mac address in the access point and select "wireless Repeater". I have the channels set to 6 on both devices as well as the same security configuration. When I try to connect to the network wireless access point, it never gives me an ip address in the scope 192.168.1. *, that the WRT54G is configured to give. Anyone know what could be the problem?

  In addition, in this configuration should the WRT54G be defined on the router or gateway mode? I didn't need to distribute ip addresses

  Here are the ip addresses and the data of each unit

  Cable modem-->

  Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall - 192.168.51.1-->

  WRT54G - IP address of the router - 192.168.1.1, however it uses DHCP and the ip address and the gateway he uses for the internet are of the order of 192.168.51. *-->

  WAP54G - 192.168.1.245

  Any help would be appreciated, I might even make a phone call. Thank you

  I got it. I was working with security personal WPA2 on both devices. I removed the security completely and both devices connect then. I then used to fix, WEP. The two devices communicate with WEP.

• E3000 and E4200 can extend wireless but when snafu disabled DHCP

  Hello

  None of the many posts on the extension of the wireless here really solve my problem (I'm not a tech superstar so I need a little handholding).

  Currently use E3000 as my router.  My House is a wonderfully old brick structure with awesome cast thick walls and cool hardwood floors (Yes, I already drilled twice to drop the Ethernet wiring and run it in my basement to the back of the House to come and connect to a switch where is my office to win 8)  Excellent results.

  Now, I'm going to die just to run the wiring to the front of the House under the said floor so that I can bring it and attach a 2nd router. My sister-in-law gave me (just gave me, you the spirit wouldn't let me pay him!) sound E4200 that she can no longer use a reason any.

  Goal: Best performance for a front of House wireless (my bedroom upstairs and the porch on the main floor, where routers are / will be.)  With the additional router in front of the House I will be finally in a smart cable TV.  I must just have better wireless at the front of the House b/c I do a lot of work here lately.* *.

  1. what router do you recommend using as the main router?

  I tried to configure the e4200 (since the 3000 is already) and following the directions on all workstations. I updated the firmware, so the two routers are underway.  My understanding is that I need to put the 4200 (Router 2 "") in Bridge Mode and

  set on the same channel current wireless router 1 (3000).

  2 should I put the 2.4 and 5 Ghz on separate SSID Router 1?  If so, what do the SSID Router 2?

  3. If Router 2 has a separate SSID or should it be identical to my current network, that is, the Router 1?

  4. I understand that Router 2, you must disable DHCP because Router 1 is that work. BUT whenever I do this, in the process configuration, I can't get connected turn it on to Router 2.  I changed the IP address.   Router 1 is 192.168.1.1 with assignments up to 192.168.1.149.   So I do 2 router 192.168.1.2.   Is this good? I do this, then it restarts, and I connect in 192.168.1.2 "page not found".

  5. the way I go about it is:

  -My Office 8 win (I call him Victor, FYI) is connected via a cable (switch) to 1 (E3000) so LAN router and I use to see what my settings are there (and here I'm typing this post).

  -My Win 7 laptop (Richard, FYI), this is where I work on Router 2 (the E4200).  I have cut all connection without wire, then PC cable to Router 2 and connect to Router 2 and from there.

  That's what I should do? ***

  6. am I correct that Router 2 must be in Bridge mode?  Whatever it is, please teach me - it means I'm setting up to repeat the signal or as a little separate LAN that is connected?  Which is better, in your view, given my objectives, above?  When I'm on 'the extension', it would be ideal to be able to go to the first/main network and send things my printer / PC is there, but I'm willing to put up with less of this in order to get the good signal in my areas of work from the home front.

  Note also that the family and I move and use several devices, so it would be fantastic if me and her husband and son and daughter (think: several tablets, phones, computers laptops, desktops, printers, scanners, blah blah blah in this House - I know, I know a lot more about networks I've always wanted to know!) can just get the signal stronger as we move.

  Thanks for any help you can give and of course I would knew what key information I can be left out. I'm really dying to get up and running.

  Position outside to clear my head, but will be back.

  Thanks again.

  I recommend using the E4200 as your main router.

  Cascade the E3000 with your LAN E4200 to LAN.

  Cascading 'LAN to LAN' instruction in the link below:

  In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

  Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:

  1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
  2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
  3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the Internet port on the secondary router
  4. Have the different SSID of 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz
  5. Duplicate configuration on routers wireless, but make them broadcast on different channels or put the chain wireless on 'Auto '.

• How to reconfigure wireless network extended with several base stations

  I have a wifi network in an Airport Extreme wired to the modem from our Internet service provider and an Airport Express Terminal extended wireless in another part of the House. I recently added a second Airport Extreme (also extended wireless) to boost coverage in another area of the House. I want to have the Express and the extreme second each wireless connection directly to the base station to the modem to have the shortest path to the main base station, but the Airport utility network diagram seems to keep showing the network of linearly (main Extreme base - second extreme - Express). So, two questions: first, represents the schema of utility Airport the signal path real (linear Express by Extreme II, then to Extreme II/modem)?  And secondly, if so, how to reconfigure the network to have both Express and Extreme II forking the extreme base I directly, rather than having the food by Extreme II, then Extreme I Express. The network showed that the desired branched network yesterday, but today went back into the linear trajectory. I tried a simple drag and drop graphic to move the Express, thinking that surely the Apple would implement such a simple, logical and direct way to manage the network, but no. Have not seen another way to configure the network manually, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

  It is very important to understand that Apple "extend a wireless network" works on signal strength.

  In order to have the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme to extend the network of the 'main' extreme wireless, two conditions must be fulfilled:

  (1) the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension should both be on the same relative distance of the extreme 'main '.

  (2) AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme extension must both be closer to the extreme 'main' they are to each other.

  In other words, a well put together would have your "main" AirPort Extreme in the middle of the House, with a Terminal AirPort Express on one end of the House and the AirPort Extreme to the other end of the House.  In this configuration, the two airports are about the same distance from the extreme 'main'... and... "" oth extending airports are located more close to the "main" airport that they are with each other.

• Impossible to extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network

  I have a wireless network set up with a time Capsule airport 4th generation.  I'm trying to take my old AirPort Extreme wireless 3rd generation. I have double. Kettle has implemented, but I get the status message on the extreme that it cannot extend the network.  I can get a strong signal on my iPhone from the point that I have placed extreme itching so I'm close enough to the time Capsule.

  Could I use a connection by current bearer through my home wiring to the extreme and extend it like that?

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Please follow these steps closely and report on your results.

  Power off time Capsule airport.

  Wait 10 to 15 seconds

  Power up Time Capsule airport

  Reset the AirPort Extreme back to default factory

  Set up AirPort Extreme still extend wireless signal of the time Capsule

  Report on the results

• 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.

• Four express airport Wireless extends through the other, instead of directly through my airport extreme

  Hello

  I have a small question which I hope someone can help me with.

  I have an airport extreme that I use as base station, and since I live in a big house, I extended wireless network with four Airport express devices. I put express devices from the airport in mode "expand the network."

  The question I have is that two of the expresses correctly connects directly to the Airport extreme, but the two other go via the two expresses first and not directly to the airport extreme base station.

  I am worried that I have will lose speed because of this and wondered if I can implement all the features four Airport express way so they all connect directly to the base station and not by the other?

  Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.

  I am worried that I have will lose speed because of this and wondered if I can implement all the features four Airport express way so they all connect directly to the base station and not by the other?

  Apple "extend a wireless network" feature works on the strength of the signal, so the ideal situation would be to have AirPort Extreme, located within your home with each Airport Express located approximately the same distance from the AirPort Extreme around the perimeter of the House.

  Think of a 4-spoke wheel. AirPort Extreme would be the "hub" in the center of the wheel and located at the end of a ray separated from each AirPort Express Terminal. In this way, each AirPort Express connects directly to the 'hub' and expand properly.

  The question I have is that two of the expresses correctly connects directly to the Airport extreme, but the two other go via the two expresses first and not directly to the airport extreme base station.

  The two airport expresses which connect to other expresses 'extension' of the network are not all. They 'join' the network... so they could be used for AirPlay or a printer USB remote... but the Express do not 'extends' the network when he "joined".

  You will need to experiment with different places until you see all four expresses connect directly to the main AirPort Extreme.

  As loss of speed in the network is... whenever you try to extend wireless network, nearly half of the potential speed on the network will be lost in the process. It's just a character of the beast to the extension of a wireless network.

  You can avoid the loss of speed in the network by configuring each AirPort Express Terminal to connect to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. There is no loss of speed at all through the connection Ethernet cable up to 300 + feet, so full power is stored on the network when you do it this way.

• 802.11 wireless extend ac / 802.11n Base Stations

  Hello

  I tested the following wireless extend the installation program:

  (1) modem connects Airport Extreme 802.11ac running--> Wireless extends another Airpot extreme running 802.11ac

  (2) modem connects Airport Extreme 802.11ac--> wireless running extends an another old Time Capsule running 802.11n

  If I connect a device to the base station of second (an extensive wireless), I think that option 1 would give a better performance? Since that they are extended wireless with 802.11 ac. But after this test, it seems that the performance is similar in both configurations. It's supposed to be like that or there is an option I'm aware of that allows you to establish which wireless standard ask?

  Thank you very much.

  Found the similar thread that answers my question:

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/6521335?start=0&TSTART=0

  "TC and airports rank by the strength of the signal, no signal speed."

  Although they are not separate FAT portion, but I guess that my base stations connect via 802.11n channel after all.

• Can the Airport Extreme connect wireless to my wifi network?

  Hi all

  I have an Airport Extreme, which I use only for his Time Machine feature.  Best I can tell the only way he can connect to my wireless network is extending.  Is this correct?

  If I use it to extend my wireless network was is the negative impact (if any)?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can extend wireless or even join wireless to less the router that you connect to another router from Apple.

  If this is the case then it can work well if it is in the range... otherwise, you must plug the AE into the router principal by ethernet and put in place as a separate network wireless access point.

  Extend wireless is bad if you are linked to the main router wireless... which will cause huge slow down even if you are in a situation of apple router all.

• Time Capsule of wireless extension

  I just moved my Time Capsule in a House that had already set up a network of airports, so I need is no longer the network wireless set up on the TC. I don't have, however, still access the hard drive and I also need an ethernet port for a wired elsewhere in the House, so I spent in Extender mode and connected to the other airport network. I get no network via the ethernet port connectivity, and the TC light is orange and blinking slowly. Since he is no longer broadcast a wifi network, I can not access it via Airport utility to make changes. Any suggestions?

  so, I spent it mode extension

  The TC may 'extend' either by connecting to an existing wireless network signal, created by another Apple router... or... it can "extend" connecting using Ethernet to another router from Apple.

  I'm guessing that you meant that you tried to configure the TC to extend the signal from the 'main' Apple router wireless, but it would be useful that you could confirm that.

  No matter if you have configured the TC to extend wireless using or extend via an Ethernet connection, it would be a signal with the same name as the 'main' Apple router wireless, so I don't understand why that you cannot connect to the TC and check certain settings.

  Unfortunately, as the Ethernet on the TC ports do not work, the option of trying to connect a Mac directly on the TC in this way in order to verify certain parameters will not be available.

  My advice would be to start over on the TC and reset it to default and then put settings in place again.  Will not remove or modify any data on the hard drive TC... it will only reset network settings so that the TC can be reconfigured again to expand the network.

  Here, I assume that the wireless network is provided by another router from Apple. It would be useful to know what model of the airport router, you will need to confirm that everything will work when you reconfigure the TC.

  "Assistant" Installation Apple will implement the TC for you quickly easily, then that would be the way forward in this regard. Let us know if you need some tips on using the "Wizard".

• Questions about the extension of my wireless network

  I have an active Airport Extreme router and work well, but in some parts of the House, the signal is not strong and television puts buffering all the time (every five minutes).

  So I bought a second thought extreme airport to expand my network.  But I do not seem that it is correctly configured.

  Can you please help?

  (1) if BOTH routers be separately connected to the internet? or the other should be wireless talk to first?

  (2) must have both routers have the same name or different names?

  (3) if they have different names, we will see the two networks as we move into the House? The connected device (phone for example) will have to switch from one to the other networks?

  Thank you

  Joyce

  (1) if BOTH routers be separately connected to the internet? or the other should be wireless talk to first?

  Certainly the second... it is connected by wireless and extends wireless... That is to say there is no ethernet... However, you can make another type of configuration... Please tell us if there is ethernet available where you want the second AE located.

  (2) must have both routers have the same name or different names?

  They have names... but even wireless name different base station.

  (3) if they have different names, we will see the two networks as we move into the House? The connected device (phone for example) will have to switch from one to the other networks?

  When you extend wireless that they use the same name and you will not even know what unit you are connected to.

  Try again install... reset factory EI and place it in the same room as the main AE... and to run the installer... It should pretty well automagically select wireless configuration expand properly.

  Place then the second AE where it becomes the first good signal, but can still extend that to your dark area... wireless wise.

  Please post again if you try to do it with ethernet between the main and the secondary airport.

• WRT54G as a wireless switch

  I use a D-Link DSL-2640 b as my main DSL modem/router at home, but the wireless coverage does not reach my whole House. Can a router WRT54G wireless (v6) be connected to the D-Link via an ethernet cable and used to broadcast a second wireless network that provides internet access through the D-Link connection? I know there are some devices designed specifically to extend wireless coverage, but I have a WRT54G lying around and I'd like to avoid if possible the purchase of new equipment.

  1. connect a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/
  2. on the main configuration page, change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to a free IP address in your D-Link network.
  3. on the same page, disable the DHCP server.
  4. save the settings. You will lose the connection.
  5. now one of the LAN ports numbered from the wire to your main router WRT.

  You now use the WRT as simple ethernet switch and wireless access point. You can configure the WRT the web interface to the new address LAN IP (step 2 above).

  A roaming wireless network set identical wireless settings on the WRT and your D-Link. SSID, wireless (WPA2 Personal) security and the password must be identical. The two access points should broadcast the SSID. Assign different channels on both routers, at least 5 apart (e.g. 1 & 6).

  Also remember to change the default password of the WRT ("admin") on the management page.

• Wireless connection speed began to 130mbps, but has now passed to 65mbps

  Recenly moved the computer in another room installed the wireless card to connect to the router from Sky Broadband. Starting speed showed to 130mbps, but now fell to 65mbps. Any ideas why this should be. Also the connection is unstable and is often lost.

  This is probably due to the power of the wireless signal and the occasional interference.

  Either move the router or your computer. Alternatively, you can use a range extender wireless for extent (boost) the wireless signal.
