Fact to have integrated Wi - Fi AirPort Extreme middle of my iMac (early 2009 model) wireless networking is wireless?

Yes, this does mean that it can access wireless internet if you have a router like Terminal Airport Express or Airport Extreme wireless. Assuming you're not planing to carry your iMac autour with you and use it at Starbucks.

  • Airport Extreme will not read Time Capsule trying to create network roaming

    I have read all the forums on that alone and became frustrated. I am creating a roaming network for a time at an airport extreme capsule. I followed the directions of countless times without success. Time Capsule is set to DHCP and Nat, while the extreme is in Bridge Mode and has the exact same name and password network settings. Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works. In fact, this is how I am writing this post right now! My problem is that the Airport extreme will not even read the time capsule at all. Can someone help me please? A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace? I don't know what that means. Sorry to be a pain.

    has the exact same name and password network settings.

    Just to double check that you mean the password and the name of wireless... not the base station name and password the names of base station must be different.

    Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works.

    To the limit sometimes the gradient exceeds just slower... it does not connect.

    If you check the laptop goes to the Advanced preferences network ethernet to the last tab has the speed dropped to 10Mbit? The extreme is not able to go as low automatically... and unfortunately there is no controls for the later models.

    What model is your extreme?

    If it's a Gen5 or an earlier version... you can use older airport utility to set the speed of the wan port. This feature is removed from models later, of course... and the AU later so does she. If you can go try it using full duplex 10mbit. If that works try 100mbit full duplex, but you might find it's too fast.

    A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace?

    Your friend has a good idea.

    I would have cut the cable in the middle... and put an end to both ends. Then place a switch on the line (not a router). A switch is a bit like an amplifier. It is to retransmit the signal so it can go another 100M...

    The other issue is on pairs... If you have installed this cable yourself and terminated yourself you were affecting the pairs?

    Ethernet is delicate to the wire because of its origins as the wiring phone... where the Center pair is for the phone.

    MacBook won't connect to the Internet via long cable?

    Here is a very similar problem to yours... was bad ethernet endpoints. Break the pairs at your own risk.

  • How can I know what kind of AirPort Extreme I have?

    I got a 2T HD connected to my AirPort Extreme to use as a Time Machine backup - the HD 2 t was too small for my home network, so I've upgraded to a hard drive of 6 t.  Now I can't connect to my drive 6 t of Time Machine to back up.  I read a support link that says the time machine backup only works with a model AirPort Extreme 802.11ac only.  How can I find out what kind of AirPort Extreme I have.  If my AirPort Extreme is "outdated" upgrade to the 802.11ac will allow me to use my HD external 6 t?

    On your Mac...

    Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  • Time Machine can't find my Airport Extreme disk

    I have a 3 TB Airport Extreme connected via USB to my iMac.  iMac is El Capitan (10.11.6) running my iMac is a mid-2007.  When I try to set up Time Machine to back up on the AE, it does not offer me EI in option for a backup drive.  In fact, when I look on the Finder, I don't see not EI there either.  What's wrong?

    The USB port on an AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule of airport is here to add an additional hard drive for storing data... or... a compatible USB printer.

    The USB port can be used to connect a Mac or any other computer.

    Instead, your Mac connects to the airport using the wireless or if you want a wired connection, it's via an Ethernet cable.

    AirPort Extreme is not an internal hard drive at all, so you could say you have a 3 TB Time Capsule airport, which does not have an internal hard drive.  Please specify if you have additional questions.

  • New Airport Extreme

    I want to Exchange my old AE for a new on my PC using windows 10. Unfortunately, Airport utility does not pick up my new AE to allow me to do something with it.

    Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Windows cannot be used to install and configure the current version of the AirPort Extreme. You will need a Mac running a current or recent operating system or an iPhone or iPad to configure and administer the AirPort Extreme.

    Of the product from Apple on the AirPort Extreme:

    Once you have created the new AirPort Extreme and operating a PC should be able to connect to the network generated by the airport wireless.

  • Why is my slower than wifi ethernet download speed when using the airport extreme?

    Hi all

    This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I currently own stunted 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch and an extreme A1521 from the airport. My ISP has promised 50Mbps downloading and sending 10 Mbps. When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised. When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok. However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?

    If you check the 'fine print', your ISP has promised "up to" 50 Mbit/s and 'up to' 10Mbps.  The ISP might provide more than that during periods of slow activity, like the days of the week during the day, but much less during evenings when there are many more users on the Internet.

    When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised

    I assume that you meant to check the Ethernet connection, you disable WiFi on Mac when you do this. And unplug the Ethernet cable when you check the speed of the WiFi, correct?

    If so, this tells you that the Ethernet port to both the modem and the Mac work properly, and WiFi work correctly as well.

    When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok.

    If this tells you that the Ethernet connection between the modem and the AirPort Extreme works correctly, and wireless works fine on the AirPort Extreme.

    However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps.

    Well, you know that the Ethernet connection between the modem and AirPort Extreme works because you can register 48 Mbps Wireless.

    Thus, the possibilities are narrowed to two elements at this stage:

    (1) the Ethernet cable is defective or making intermittent contact. Try another Ethernet cable, to ensure.

    (2) If you have turned off AirPort Extreme and rebooted several times, and you know that the cable between the Mac and AirPort Extreme works properly, then you have reduced the question down to the Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme, which is probably defective switch.

    If you have not already done so, try other ports Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.

    As a last resort, perform a reset material on AirPort Extreme and put up again. To perform the Hard Reset... power on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold it pushed in the reset button on the back of the unit (near the AC power plug) for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart orange light flashing slow.

    I once went through two consecutive airport extremes with the same question about 8 months ago, so it can happen.

    If you're still having problems, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme of Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly by clicking on 'Contact the Support' in the upper right area of this web page.

    Good luck!

  • Airport Extreme and Time Capsule of airport work together?

    I have time capsule and airport extreme. I need to decide if I should sell Airport extreme or is there a way for the two to work together to expand the wifi. Airport extreme can be connected to time capsule and extend the range?

    AirPort Extreme can extend the time Capsule network in one of two ways:

    (1) for the best performance, the AirPort Extreme is located in the heart of the area where most of the wireless coverage is needed, and it would connect to the time Capsule using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    (2) AirPort Extreme can connect to the Time Capsule wireless network and to extend the network in this way, if you're ready locate AirPort Extreme to halfway between the Capsule and the area that needs more coverage wireless... And... accept a drop in performance of half of the potential maximum speed on the network.

  • Thinking of adding Airport Extreme for Google Fiber

    Hello world. Wanted to start a new question related to Google fiber... slightly different from the issue of Back2Mac earlier.

    I just Google fiber. House is wired throughout with CAT6. Wired connection works fine. Wireless is great, sometimes, but do not receive the beach or the consistency we want.

    Can I add an Airport Extreme, hard connected to the Google fiber network box (which is a router, "PNG" for short) and everything work well and be safe?

    There is a lot of information out there, but most are very technical and I think talking to try to take the PNG of the equation all together. I don't need or want to do. Looking to replace PNG with a wireless Airport Extreme wireless. I think that all that I have to connect the Airport Extreme to PNG by wire, set the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and "create a wireless network" and disable wireless of PNG.

    I have not bought the Airport Extreme and wouldn't bother, if it will be technically above my head. I've seen many references to static port forwarding, DMZ, IP, etc.. Are there others that should be configured to secure my installation? In addition, the activity of the network of wired and wireless devices will share work together (for example, iPhone wireless to AppleTV wired antenna)?

    Thank you and appreciate any help anyone has for a novice with little network experience!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the ports on the fibre-optic LAN <>router - port WAN "O" on the AirPort Extreme.

    Turn AirPort Extreme for a minute or two.

    Click the WiFi menu at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of new AirPort base station.

    Click on AirPort Extreme just below this list.

    Who will get the facility operational Apple "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then display a screen similar to the example below, except that you will see a picture of the AirPort Extreme.

    Name of the network... Type a short and simple name that you want to call the wireless network

    Base station... Enter a device name short and simple that you want to use for AirPort Extreme

    Password... Type a password that will be used for the wireless network and a base station

    Check... Type the same password to confirm

    Click next

    The "Wizard" will configure everything for you automatically. ... then you don't have to worry about things like the 'bridge', 'security' mode or other parameters.

    When you see the message Setup is complete, click done, and you're done.

  • Problem of AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express network expansion

    I have a dual-band Airport Extreme 802.11n that I bought in 2012 which is currently my home wireless network. I am trying to extend the network with a new AirPort Express with the AirPort 6.3.6 utility running OS 10.11 on an iMac. The Airport Express appears in the option other Wi - Fi devices. When I select it, AirPort utility tries to connect and then I get this message "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. "Try again does not lead to a different result, and I can't seem to find useful information in the documents support or conversations. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    It should be easy enough to operate the express, but you must tell us all the info.

    Configure the Express in the same room as the extreme.

    Using wireless to expand? Then you simply plug power in the Express... and it should pretty much automatically connect to the extreme.

    If you want to extend through ethernet, you should connect the Express in the extreme and make sure that the configuration of the airport utility selects extend by wire.

    If the Mac does not work you have the iphone or ipad and use Airport utility for iOS... it tends to be more reliable.

    Still no luck does your Mac have port ethernet... in this case, you can plug it into the computer with ethernet and try again... more wireless implementation looks like sawing off the branch to that which you are sitting.

  • Updated AirPort Extreme?

    I have a 5th generation AirPort Extreme purchased in 2011.  We have 2 iMacs, 5 iPhones, 4 iPads, 3 Rokus and 1 PC on the wireless network. Most of the devices have ac 802.11.  We have Fios for Internet with 50 / 50 Mbps.  Upgrade to the 6th generation AirPort Extreme offer any wifi speed will increase or is the Fios speed limiter?

    The upgrade wouldn't matter because the current model is not faster than the one you have.

  • 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.
