FIOS Actiontec router and old Airport Extreme.

• Question about the replacement of the dilapidated old Airport Extreme

  I have an old Airport Extreme, probably about 8 years old.   There seem to be wonky on me.  I tried everything, including resetting to the factory settings.  In any case, the point is that I have to replace the unit.  However, it is mounted in a box electric wall unit, which is not deep enough to contain the new style 'vertical' Airport Extreme which is meant to sit on a desk. It is about an inch too wide.  This new design really * for my situation.

  So, I'm stuck with a choice to replace it with another employee (or I think that some are still box on Amazon) old Airport Extreme, or with another unit of the brand that does the same thing.  Of course, I prefer to stay with Apple, like all my Airport Express, my Time Capsule airport and all our devices are Apple.

  What is the best choice?

  There is a third choice: install the new unit somewhere else than in an electric box armoured, metal. This is not a good location for any wireless device.

• Loading slow web page and with Airport Extreme connection speeds

  About 5 days ago, I noticed a significant slow down the loading of web pages. In some cases, I see a blank white screen for up to a minute before the page is loaded. In others, the page never loads at all. And sometimes they load very quickly as expected. This happens with my iMac that is connected to a router via ethernet, as well as my Macbook Air connected via Wifi to Airport Extreme.

  I have a high-speed internet connection by cable Comcast/Xfinity: Blast 250Mbps.

  I tried to connect my iMac directly on the model of cable (Arris Surfboard SB6183), and there is no problem. Download speed was 30Mbps 300Mbps and upload.

  Then, I plugged my Airport Extreme router again and connected the iMac to the router via Ethernet. Download speed dropped to 100 Mbps!

  This suggests that the problem may be with the Airport Express. It is not a wireless problem, because as you can see the download speed went from 300Mbp/s connected directly to the model 100 Mbps when connected to the Airport Extreme.

  How do I troubleshoot/fix this?

  One last thing: I did a speed test with my Macbook Air that is connected via Wifi and the Airport Extreme router. Download speed dropped to 35 MB/s.

  Direct connection to the modem is so very fast, suggesting the internet connection Comcast isn't the issue. Speed falls even with ethernet to the Airport Extreme router connection, then decreases even more with the Wifi connection.

• Questions about my old Airport Extreme & 5 vs. 2.4 GHz

  I have an older Airport Extreme.  It's either a generation first or second - model A1143 (two generations had the same number, can't say that I have).  But two of them said they sent either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz - either / or, but not at the same time, (which came on the next generation).

  I have two questions: first, how can I tell who is sent to the and how are they passed?  And second, if my Airport is on the second floor, but most use is on the first floor, which of the two should I use?  I understand 2.4 is better for long distances, but did not know what is considered "long."

  Not only he use to my Macbook and iPads, but also to an Apple TV, where the bandwidth, of course, is a matter of concern.

  Thank you very much!

  I have two questions: first, how can I tell who is sent to the and how are they passed?  And second, if my Airport is on the second floor, but most use is on the first floor, which of the two should I use?

  Looks like three questions.

  Let's first find out which version of AirPort Extreme you have.  I assume that you are running a recent operating system on the MacBook like El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, etc.

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

  Hold down the option on your MacBook while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Glance to see what model you have... An Airport Extreme 802.11n (1st generation), or an AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd generation)

  As soon as we have this info, we will you say a bit more on the model you have and how to check certain parameters of the airport you have.

  By default, the A1143 airports are set up to provide a network of 2. 4 GHz, so unless you have changed the settings, your airport is send signals of 2.4 GHz.

  5 GHz signals have the ability to speed faster than 2.4 GHz signals... but... 5 GHz signals are much weaker than the 2.4 GHz signals, 5 GHz works well when your wireless devices are in the same room as the Terminal AirPort, or they close a line-of-sight relationship with airport router.

  Not much of a 5 GHz signal it will be through a ceiling, which is on average about 3 times more dense as normal in a House wall, if you still want to use 2.4 GHz on your network.

• My old Airport Extreme 802.11n will work well with my new Time Capsule 802.11ac airport?

  I got a new 802.11ac 3 TB time capsule and I would use my Airport Extreme 802.11n as an Extender but I fear that 802.11n is too old technology.

  No, it will be fine. I have the same setup on my network. Whenever I update my AirPort Extreme, I use the 'old' to expand the network throughout the House.

  I hope that answers your question.

• E3000 to work with the modem configuration cable of Verizon FIOS actiontec / router

  Hi all, I read knowledgebase Article ID: 3733, which seems to me on the right track, but the menu router screens listed do not correspond to the screens of the E3000.

  I have a FIOS cable modem / router in the basement I should keep since she animates all FIOS guide and on the characteristics of the application. I have a NAS drive in the basement and all hard wiring runs to the basement as well.

  I tried n wireless and a better location for the wireless access point, so I bought the E3000 and put it in the kitchen on the main floor

  When I wired a LAN port numbered on the E3000 to LAN ports numbered on the ActionTec and introduced the router everything worked well, but quickly found that wireless clients could not see the NAS.  I suspect that it is because the E3000 uses a different address of range (192.168.0.1) as the actiontec (http://192.168.1.1/).  I finally move the NAS on the floor to temporarily solve this problem, but my wife keeps me out of his kitchen ASAP :-)

  I tried almost every imaginable parameters (IP of E3000 actiontec adjustment range, disabling NAT, disable DHCP, enable/disable RIP) to get the E3000 to simply become a gateway switch wired and wireless and let the routing actiontec, but never been able to make it work.

  Could someone post a version of the Article ID: 3733 who works for the E3000?

  Press and hold the reset button on the E3000 router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait 30 seconds. Power cycle router E3000.

  Now connect a computer to the Ethernet port on the Router 2 (do not connect the cable between the modem and E3000)

  Open the E3000 configuration page. Change the settings of the E3000 router wireless.

  Go to the Configuration tab and change the IP address of the E3000 router to 192.168.1.2.

  Disable the DHCP server on the router and save the settings.

  Do NOT change any other settings (NAT firewall).

  Connect the modem cable to port Ethernet router 1 E3000. cycle power to the router.

  Now try to access the Internet via E3000 router.

• Difference between French and British Airport Extreme?

  I recently moved to France... all my Apple kit was purchased from the United Kingdom. Are there only differences (outside textbooks) in a provided French Airport Extreme as opposed to buy one in the United Kingdom?

  Thanks for your comments

  As I know there is no difference between an English version and a French version. In fact, globally, routers are identical, except for licensed wireless channels and the output of the radio.

  Radio output power: maximum 32.5 dBm (varies by country)

  Channels for that 1-11, 36-116, 132-140, and 149-165 approved use in the United States and the Canada

  Channels 1-13, 36-64 and 100-140 approved for use in Europe and the Japan

  Channels 1-13, 36-64 and 149-165 approved for use in Australia, Hong Kong and the New Zealand

• Extended to Airport Extreme Ethernet ports not IP address assignment.

  I have an Airport Extreme as my basic router and another Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, which runs from the router.

  Since the extended Airport extreme, I have an Ethernet Hub and a Macbook Pro connected via an Ethernet Port, but every time I attach any device to the ethernet port on the Airport Extreme of the device has an auto assigned IP.

  Although, when I'm attached to the long terminal Airport Express, it's the IP assignment correctly.

  Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

  Is a way I can make the Airport Extreme to assign the IP address?

  The two airports 'extension'... the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express... are in Bridge Mode when they "extend a wireless network".  DHCP (the process of allocating IP addresses... is disabled when a device is in Bridge Mode... it's up to your "main" AirPort Extreme to assign all IP addresses to network devices.)

  The 'extension' airports simply pass the IP address information to connected devices... the devices 'extension' assign IP addresses themselves.

  Since the AirPort Express works correctly, it seems that the 'extension' AirPort Extreme is the culprit.  From what you have told us, it seems that if the Ethernet switch on the device is not working properly. We learn more about this unit before us to jump to conclusions.

  (1) what is a newer version of the 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme or an older version of 'flat' or 'square' to the extreme?  If it is the old version, we need the model number of the bottom of the unit.  It starts with an "A" followed four digits.

  (2) when you connect an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports to the extreme that extends, is the little green light next the port light?

  (3) what operating system you are using on the Mac or the PC that you use to configure the airports?

• 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?

• I have older Airport Extreme and Express but I now want to set up a new router Airport.

  I have an old Airport Extreme as my main hard wired (ethernet connected) router and an Express that I use as wifi Wireless extender.   Now, I want to set up a new Airport (probably Extreme) router and use the old Airport extreme as extender wifi hard wired (ethernet cable).

  I know that I have to reset the old default airport routers. But, how I do this and please start from there and the beginning, their reset and then up to the new Airport base station and then configure the older router to use with the new? Please be detailed, step by step and attach written instructions or places that I can get the instructions.

  What exact models are each of your airport base stations? Once we have this information, we can help you get your properly configured access point.

• Problems with AirPort Extreme and Qwest Modem/Router.

  I have a Qwest ActionTec 1000 DSL VDSL2 gateway and want to disable the functions of router wireless and those through direct AirPort Extreme. I know that in the Modem I have to disable the functions of addressing and turn them in the AirPort Extreme to avoid address conflicts, but what are the settings I need to change in both devices? And what is "A Transparent bridging" on the side of the modem?

  But what are the settings I need to change in both devices?

  Sorry, we can't help on the settings for the modem/router, because it would be a question of Qwest as to if this is even possible and if so, if Qwest will support this type of installation. Sometimes the ISP lock modem/router settings, and although it seems as if you can change the basic configuration of the unit, you can really.

  Yes, it is possible that another user of Qwest has done with the same modem/router you have and an AirPort Extreme... and may know the answer... but the chances of the person who holds this information also to see this post are slightly above zero. But, I guess it's possible.

  If the modem/router can be configured to operate only as a simple modem, then the next step would be to get your Mac connected directly to the modem to test the connection in this way. If Qwest is going to help you, they will do it no doubt with your Mac connected directly to the "modem" as well.

  Once you know the exact details of the PPPoE authentication to establish a connection, these parameters can be transferred to the AirPort Extreme and removed from your Mac. To do this, you reset the AirPort Extreme back to default and then put settings in place again. The installer should detect the PPPoE connection and then ask for your login information.  After this, the correct settings apply to AirPort Extreme during the installation.  You can still use the same wireless network name and password you used before if you wish, or set up a new network name and password.

  PPPoE on the routers of the airport, at least in my experience, was not a reliable way to connect when I tried this in the past, but you don't really know how well... or even if... it will work until try you it. Unless you really want the airport to distribute IP addresses to devices on your network, things would be a lot more simple if you went ahead and used the modem/router "such what" and then let the airport works in Bridge Mode to transfer information in connection with network devices.

  When you have the modem/router converted to act as a simple modem and made a successful connection using your Mac connected directly to the "modem", post back and we can help with the configuration of the AirPort Extreme if you need more advice.

• connect an old Belkin router to a new Airport Extreme

  Connect my old Belkin N300 router to my Airport Extreme new would have any advantage to do?  What would be the benefits?

  I would only do this if you have any questions using the router Apple on say a PC or a customer who don't will connect easily to the AE directly.

  You must connect by ethernet... and configure the Bellkin in mode Bypass WAN... Just google that... unless it of a very recent model and has WAP mode built in.

  What question first of all of your problems. If you need help post again with the why so we have an idea how to do the installation.

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• Airport Extreme connected to TIVO: why I can not change Type firewall for IPv4.  Field displays IPv6 and is grayed out so I can't change.

  TIVO requires certain ports to be unblocked.  So I try to add the ports requiring TIVO.  But when you try to add the default Type of firewall IPv6 Port Mapping ports and I can't change the value of the IPv4 Port Mapping because the input field is grayed out and no is not accessible.  With Port IPv6 mapping I enter values in all areas except for the IPv6 address because I do not know what value to enter.  I think the button 'save' ' is not available to hit because the IPv6 address field is empty or not valid.  Note: my router Mode is ' Off (Bridge Mode).  Same questions if my router DHCP Mode.

  I changed my router Mode DHCP and NAT, then on the Type of firewall on the default page add ports, IPv4 Port Mapping and I could add ports but with this setting, I couldn't connect to internet in my Airport Extreme: my status remains orange light flashing.

  I use Comcast and my Airport Extreme is connected to my Comcast router using ethernet.

  I use my Airport Extreme as a router (wired and WIRELESS) and as a backup device.

  My TIVO is connected to my Airport Extreme using ethernet.

  How can I add the Ports requiring TIVO.

  Golden in the networking rule. ....... Never try to configure port mapping when you have two devices on the same network the two acting as a router.

  Unfortunately, this is exactly what you're trying to do.

  You have three options:

  (1) run the Comcast router "as what" and configure the port on the device of Comcast mapping... .the airPort Extreme must be configured in Bridge Mode when you do this.

  (2) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... the peripheral Comcast must be configured to operate as a simple modem in Bridge Mode when you do this. 

  
  

  (3) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... swap Comcast modem/router you have now for a simple modem (it will have only a single Ethernet port).

  In other words, either the Comcast is defined as the router and AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode... or... the AiPort Extreme is configured as a router and Comcast must be configured in Bridge Mode.

  If you choose Option 1, then we can not help you on a matter of Comcast router. In bridged Mode, the AirPort Extreme requires no configuration.

  If you choose Option 2 or Option 3, then we the following port values that the Tivo device needs:

  Public or UDP ports

  Public TCP

  UDP private

  Private TCP

  In addition, you need to find the MAC address for the TIVO.  It is a long code that looks something like this, for example:

  A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F6

  A link to the Tivo instructions for port mapping would also be very useful.  I have done this with a TIVO in the past, but is for some years.

  If all goes well, an expert of TIVO will post to lend a hand.

• Need help to repair the internet connection; Airport extreme and microsoft xp pro

  I have the internet service of Rogers, a Dell laptop with microsoft xp professional and Apple airport extreme. I can't connect to the internet. I tried Apple, Rogers and Microsoft and no one can solve the problem. This has happened once before and Rogers has solved the problem by changing something on the WPA or WPA2 but I don't remember the details and they don't seem to help. We rebooted the router and my pc. I deleted and readded the connection; not good. Someone at - it ideas?

  Hi Julie,.

  1. do you receive an error message or error code?

  2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  WPA authenticates users to ensure that only authorized people can access the network. There are two types of WPA authentication: WPA and WPA2. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network cards.

  This problem can occur because settings of Internet connection or drivers, try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  How to troubleshoot wireless network connections in Windows XP Service Pack 2: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870702

  Method 2:

  This problem can occur if authentication enable IEEE 802. 1 X for this network checkbox is enabled. If this box is checked, but there is no server to authenticate the connection is interrupted. If you turn on the wireless network connection, it disconnects again after a short period.

  To disable authentication IEEE 802. 1 X, follow these steps:

  a. Click Start, type ncpa.cpl, and then press ENTER.

  b. right click on your wireless network connection, then click Properties.

  c. click the wireless networks tab.

  d. under preferred networks, click your wireless network, and then click Properties.

  e. click on the Authentication tab, click to clear the authentication enable IEEE 802. 1 X for this network check box and then click OK twice.
