Help with the help of Airport Express with D-Link switch

Hi all. I'm not an expert in networking and I'm having some problems with my home network now. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I'm doing this configuration works for my home network, it's what I have atm:

Modem (it is a modem with router WiFi included, but it is disabled)---> Airport Extreme (the "tired" model)---> 2 wired iMacs via LAN ports + 1 D-Link 8 port unmanaged wired via the third LAN port.

The switch does not work. No port light is on in it, although it is on in the AEBS is connected to. All my iMac have an internet connection through EI LAN ports. If I plug my Apple TV instead of the switch that works too.

I do something wrong or maybe the switch is defective? My switch is a D-Link - 1008a.

Thank you!

Everything you say tells us that the AirPort Extreme works normally with the Ethernet devices.

You have a defective switch / power supply or faulty cable between the switch and the AirPort Extreme.  Test the Ethernet cable on another connection to make sure it works. If this is the case and the small light next to the Ethernet port on the switch does not, while the switch is defective... or... If the switch uses a power supply outside... the power supply may be faulty.

  • Change of modem can improve the speed of Airport Express Extender?

    My router is a Airport Extreme 6th Gen.

    When Wi - Fi and close this Airport Extreme base station, I get average speeds of:

    117 Mbps down and > 11 Mbps upward

    At the opposite end of the House, I use a wireless extension: Airport Express 1 St gen - model A1264 (MB32 1LL/A)

    Here, the download speed goes up to 14mbps

    Download speed rest > 11 Mbps

    My ISP will not have my current cable modem: 6580 Motorola (jumpered to disable router) to provide speeds greater than 100/10 (though even I can actually slightly higher than average, I have indicate above).

    If I replaced the modem with my ISP (Time Warner Cable) provisions for 200/20Mbps (speeds I pay in fact) - and * if * I got then that 100 Mbps speed increase (wireless) when close to my Airport Extreme base station (and I think I'll) - should I then expect to see a significant speed increase at the opposite end of the House , where I rely on the Airport Express wireless extension?

    In other words, is expected to double the speed of my modem now gives me wireless (when you're on my Apple Extreme base station) also be reflected in an increase in speed at the end of the House where I must rely on the Express Extender 1 generation and where I am now only download speeds see 14Mbps?

    BTW:

    1. I can not move my extreme or my Express.  They both must stay exactly where they are. Neither can they cannot be permanently interconnected via ethernet cable.

    2. I don't think the speed reduction I describe is a bandwidth issue because I am the only one on the network and do not have multiple downloads on several devices at the same time.

    Before I ring $$$ on a modem that won't improve my speed, you will appreciate any guidance I where I need more.

    Change of modem can improve the speed of AirPort Express Extender?

    Just a little, at best. The Express pourrait spend 25-30 Mbps. No guarantee, with strangeness wireless... it is maybe the same or worse based on my experiences.

    If you need more speed at the end of the House... the AirPort Express must be located to half way between the AirPort Extreme and the end of the House. Ideally, he would have line-of-sight with AirPort Extreme.

    Yet, you say that you can not move the Express or the extreme and can't get the Ethernet cable. Have you considered or tried Powerline Ethernet adapters?

  • How can you put in place the first generation Airport Express with Yosemite

    Is it still possible? If this is not the case, can itbee with an iPhone or an iPad?

    Athanasios

    Are you sure that you have a 1st generation AirPort Express?

    It was the 1st version of 802.11"n" products... and you will probably have a lot more older 802.11' b/g ' device that was used long before that Apple has started using the name of 'generation' in 2008.

    Please look carefully at the side of your AirPort Express Terminal to locate the model number. It is difficult to see gray inscription on white background, so you may need good lighting and reading glasses.

    The model of a 1st generation AirPort Express is A1264.

    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older devices "b/g" which ranks Apple as obsolete... then they have not been supported for the past 3-4 years in the latest operating systems.

    So again, you have... or can borrow... a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or operating system Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC that has AirPort Utility for Windows installed on the device, you can administer the older devices, A1084 and A1088 like that.

  • connect older apple Airport express with ethernet cable modem? Verizon service

    I'm helping someone with a verizon DSL modem older (guess this isn't wireless vs) which connects to a tower of Windows, then usb out of the tower to a unit of wireless to connect to a recent Mac laptop version. We would like to get rid of the tower and the verizon usb "hockey puck" and simply use the modwm > wireless Airport express > laptop.

    If I get an airport express, I can show the modem directly to Airport express?

    Yes, that should be fine.

    Tell us what model is the DSL modem.

    There are two possible configurations.

    Either the type pure or bridged modem and you use customer PPPOE over the WAN to the Express.

    Or

    You have a modem router and you will implement the express bridge, with creation of a wireless network.

    HOWEVER... I'm NOT either of those without call verizon and control on the price of a new wireless adsl router modem.

    ADSL has changed little in 10 years... but the equipment does not last forever. It could just be the perfect time to move.

  • New Apple Airport Express - I just swap out with my old?

    I use the old version, Airport Express, so I'll update to the most recent (reconditioned Apple).   Can I just replace the old with a new one, or what I need to reconfigure in public services from the airport?

    If I have to set it up, can someone tell me dumbed down how?

    Thank you

    It is always better to start with the default factory setting when the replacement of base stations.

    However, if both base stations are 802.11n models, you can use AirPort Utility to set up the terminal 'new' to replace the older one. If this is the case, you can just power the new base station, and then select its Wi - Fi your Mac network. Doing so will give you the opportunity to run the AirPort Utility. Just follow the steps automated to replace one with the other.

  • The AirPort Express Terminal is good enough for me?

    I need a new wireless router to replace my Netgear WNDR4300 'antiques '.  The network is only 2-3 laptops and iPhones 1-2 at a time, over a printer and Chromecast device.  We occasionally video stream, but not often.  Critics say the AirPort Express is best purchased as an add-on to an existing network, but I can't justify more expensive options from the airport.  I don't need the 11ac 802 that offer other options, and it seems that margin would be a problem, because it is limited to 5 GHz.  We have a two-storey house. Is the simple terminal AirPort Express good enough for my home network?

    The AirPort Express, pourraient deliver similar performance to your old Netgear router in terms of signal strength and the beach... but the only way to know with certainty if the Express will be good enough for your needs is to try in your home.

    Try to locate the Express up high on a shelf or Cabinet, if you can, to help in the dissemination of the signal.

    Fortunately, if you buy through Apple, you have one day 14, no questions asked return privilege, so if the Express does not provide the performance you need, you can return the unit for Exchange or a refund.

  • Question Airport Express.

    I'm so confused. I'll try to keep a long story short. I lost my internet connection a few weeks ago, and instead blame Mediacom, I blamed my old airport of 12 years and I bought a new Airport Express Terminal (with a new ethernet cable to replace a at least 20 years. While the implementation of the new Terminal Airport Express, I was unable to get anything to work and finally called Mediacom. The problem was indeed at their end, where the cables to connect in the basement of my four-plex apartment.

    Now to cut to the Chase: given that I reproach myself my own equipment and not of Mediacom, I managed to set up two connections Airport Express (call Network1 and Network2). When I restart my computer, it connects inevitably to one or the other, but never the same. It connects only to those who, at the time, won't let me connect. So I turn to the other and all are well again. At the same time, when I get home, my iPhone will almost always automatically connect to the network which does not connect to the internet. It might work with Network1 while my computer only works with Network2. Same thing with my iPad. It is either 1 or Network2, but never both, and never the same. The three units can be on different networks at the same time for each group in order to connect to the internet.

    So my question (s):

    How can I remove one of the networks so that it completely disappears? There is apparently some kind of criss-cross current that confuses my computer and its peripherals.

    If I delete that which does not (at the time), I ALWAYS keep one connect correctly or I need to reset my Airport Express and start from scratch?

    I even does not start in the subject what a pain it was to connect my Tivo to my wireless network, because it works too only with one or the other. And I still have my printer wireless to set up.

    Help/suggestions/explanations are greatly appreciated. I've been using Mac and set up networks since the dark ages, but it left me speechless.

    The Airport Express should not have 2 networks unless you have enabled the guest network. Is it possible that your Internet router has a Wi - Fi network on it as well?

    I highly recommend you reset the default Airport Express Terminal and try again. It's really the only way you are going to get a suitable resolution.

    It is also possible that your network of old and new settings are still in iCloud keychain and causing some confusion.

    I would recommend you disable iCloud Keychain on each device, then make sure that you forgot the network name on each device.

    Recreate your wireless network (giving a new unused name so you can tell if it's all working), then log in to the network without wire on each device, one at a time, making sure the internet connection works.

    You can then re-enable iCloud Keychain if you wish.

    Good luck.

  • Trying to connect a computer to the lan port Aiport Express "auto assigned IP address"

    I am trying to connect a computer to the lan on my Airport Express port. In preferences, it says "status: connected, Ethernet has an assigned IP address and won't be able to connect to the internet." Any suggestions?

    An "auto assigned" IP address indicates that your computer could not find or negotiate with a DHCP server to obtain an IP address appropriate for network access.

    It should be more on your network to provide assistance if you need it. For example, is the terminal of AirPort Express the only router in the current configuration of your network? What exact model do? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet?

  • Best config Time Capsule - Airport Express

    Hi all.

    My home network at present are as follows:

    -My ISP, with a disabled Wi - Fi router;

    -Mac and PC connected via ethernet cables using the router's LAN ports.

    -Airport Express (WAN port) connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router that gives Wi - fi in the House: note that the router and AirPort Express are in different rooms (router: bedroom, AirPort Express: living room)

    I want to add a time Capsule to my network, but I want to put in the living room, where the Express is at the moment. I don't have a single cable ethernet connecting the bedroom to the living room because there is not enough space in the walls of two sons.

    What I would do is:

    -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

    -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

    This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

    If this is not possible, my only option is to connect the Time Capsule via ethernet to the router and then connect the WAN port on the Express to a port of time Capsule, right? Would not be my best installation in the House, but if it's the only one that works, I'll go with it. If I didn't have the problem of the single cable connecting the two rooms, everything would be super easy. Extending Wi - Fi wireless is not in my case, having this second wired option.

    Any other suggestion is appreciated!

    What I would do is:

    -Time capsule in the living room, connected via an ethernet cable to the router, generating the signal Wi - Fi;

    -AirPort Express connected by ethernet to a LAN port of the router, which extends signal Wi - Fi in the bedroom.

    This configuration can work? And how? Should I use the same SSID?

    Of course, it works very well. Download Time Capsule set up and running using Apple "Installation Wizard", and then reset the Express back to the settings by default and set up using Configuration Apple "Assistant" as well.

    The wizard will affect automatically the same SSID and password to the AirPort Express, which uses the Capsule, so by default, you will have what is called a "mobile network". For the configuration, I would recommend that you temporarily connect the Express to the time Capsule using a short Ethernet cable to spare before you run the installer... no matter how long will do.  Connect from a port LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the "O" in L'Express WAN port. Once the Express is set up, you can move it to the location of the router to establish Ethernet connection here.

    If for any reason, you want the AirPort Express to use a different SSID as the time Capsule, you can use AirPort Utility to go back and change the SSID (and the password as well if you want) on the AirPort Express Terminal.

  • AirPlay and AirPort Express

    Bottom line on the front: My AirPort Express (N) (former model with a single ethernet port) is not listed as an AirPlay device to my iMac (2011) and MacBook Pro (2011).

    QUESTION:

    The EPA is connected to a stereo system in the same room, but away from my iMac.  I'm trying to use the EPAS to play my iTunes from my iMac to the stereo library.  When I click on the AirPlay icon in the menu, I see the ATV listed, but not the MONKEY.  If I use AirPlay on my drives to iOS, I noticed that everything (EPA and ATV).

    BACKGROUND:

    The iMac (as well as all my other Macs) are running El Capitan.  I have FiOS and my iMac is wired (ethernet) to my router from verizon, as is the Time Capsule, which transmits the WiFi to all my devices (all of my devices are newer running iOS 9.3.1) and my MacBook Pro.  I have also two AppleTV connected to the network.  My iMac and MacBook Pro (and iOS devices) see the AppleTV and can AirPlay for them, but only the iOS devices see the AirPort Express Terminal.

    RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS SO FAR:

    My utility AP sees the MONKEY (and the TC) and I can handle it without problems (name change, settings, etc.).  My iPhone has no problem to see and using the EPA.  I troubleshoot-made the MONKEY by connecting to my network via ethernet (failed difficulty). reset of the MONKEY (failure of difficulty), turned on my iMac (no resolution) wifi, restarted the network and wifi (impossible difficulty), restarted my iMac and Mbps (failure of difficulty).

    What can I do else?  Thanks in advance.

    I understand in your current network setup you have the cable to the Capsule Time (TC) to the router provided by Verizon. I assume you have the AirPort Express configured to use a wireless connection to the wireless network provided by the TC.

    • What is the brand and model of the router provided by Verizon?
    • Is - this wireless router and it provides a network of Wi - Fi with the TC?
    • The TC and the Verizon router, both configured for a network of itinerant type?
    • The Express is configured to join or extend a wireless network?
    • Are the TC & Express configured as bridges?
  • How can I disable 5 GHz on 2nd GEN Airport Express?

    I read the previous explanations:

    1 / system preferences > airport > click Wireless on the left, click Advanced, search the list for the 2.4 GHz network and make sure that it is at the top. But I can't find such a list.

    2 / airport utility > modify > click on the wireless tab. What wireless tab? Not easy for me at the airport 6.3.1.

    There must be a way, but I'm just not see it. I'm told my wi - fi enabled printer is more likely to work if she is not confused by the existence of a 5 GHz channel.

    Help much appreciated.

    How can I disable 5 GHz on 2nd GEN AirPort Express?

    You can not.  The 2nd Gen AirPort Express is a double router broadband simultaneously ... so the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are always on... or... the two are always turned off if you turn off the wireless.

    What you can do, is have a different name for the 5 GHz network, so the 2.4 GHz network has a name and the 5 GHz network will have a different name.  The two networks will continue to use the same wireless network password.

    Not sure if that would help your real question... what it could be.  More details would be useful.
