How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?

How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?   I live in a condo with too many wireless users who is in the band of 2.5 G.  I want to blow up all my systems to just 5 G so I did not so much downtime on Wi - Fi connections.    THX u.

You can't disable the radio 2.4 GHz on the AirPort Extreme. At best, you can rename your network 5 GHz with a different name from that of the 2.4 GHz radio. You can then connect your clients to the 5 GHz network wirelessly. However, the downside there is that the higher frequency band has more difficulty to walk through walls and you can not find the signal outside the room that the base station can be used.

  • How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

    Data sheet:

    Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

    Luma Surround Wifi 8

    I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

    I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

    I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

    Thanks for your time...

    Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

    In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

    • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
    • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

    To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

  • Wifi configuration with Airport Extreme (A1143), iMac (El Capitan) running. Need of a direction.

    I recently moved to a City University and living in a housing facility run by the University. It's got broadband by Comcast for free with the room. I plugged all the necessary equipment (modem and cable) to the iMac and the internet works well for a week now.

    Now I want Wifi for the apartment. I decided to dust off my old 1st or 2nd Gen extreme base station Airport. I read that it can still work with El Capitan, so I went and tried to install it. First of all, I updated the firmware and connected the appropriate cables. Everything seemed to go in the direction of the work, but I hit a bump on the road. Wifi works for the iMac. I unplugged the ethernet cable and it's receiving internet, but I tried to get my iPad Wifi and smart phone and it doesn't seem to work. I used the good passwords etc. Nothing.

    I found it odd that I get Wifi to my iMac, although the Airport Extreme light is orange. Normally, it should be green. Of course, I don't use this thing in forever and actually don't think it would work, but so far the iMac becomes Wifi, but aren't the other devices and auburn is turned on. So here's a screenshot of what I see in the Airport utility.

    Can anyone help or point me to the right direction? Also it has to do with the campus of the internet, I'm getting?

    The attached picture shows it's getting to the internet via wifi (not plugged into the modem) but he doesn't seem to get wifi on my other devices in the apartment. The Airport base station we connected directly to the Modem. I also followed the steps of my iMac had originally planned to make it work and it did, but only for the iMac. I expect the unit to green thereafter but he did not. What gives?

    The A1143 was introduced in January 2007 and arrested in March 2009, so the model you have is at least 7 years and older, and as much as 9 + depending on when the product has been implemented.

    The average lifetime of a router designed for home use is about 5 years, so we're not sure how much time and effort you want to invest in AirPort Extreme you have there.

    Frankly, it is remarkable that the product works for the iMac, because status messages indicate that you have an Internet connection.  We cannot explain this one.

    We also don't know if amber on the most convenient airport is flashing, or remains Orange fixed. Can clarify you on this, please?

    If you want to try to start over again and set up the AirPort Extreme, the first bit of information that we need is the number of brand and model of your modem.  We don't need a serial number, only the manufacturer name and number for the modem to the model.

    We will try to help, but who can give no assurance that we will be able to get things working for you.

  • How to change where the Airport Extreme think that there is

    I moved house about 6 weeks ago, but whenever I am connected to my current-model Airport Extreme wifi, my devices think they are still at the old House.  How can I make the AE update when it is actually located?

    There is no change, you can do it... He will be eventually updated on apple servers... but it can be slow.

  • How to enable multicast on airport extreme

    Hello

    I have trouble using a bridge streaming with an ac 802.11 Airport extreme. According to the manufacturer of the bridge continuously, I have to activate "multicast" on the airport. Does anyone know how to do?

    Thank you.

    Although there used to be a multicast parameter in the older version 5.x of AirPort Utility, it is NOT identical to what the manufacturer is referring. In this case, they talk about IP multicast. Activation or deactivation of IP multicast is not an option for airport base stations. I think, airports, IP multicast devices pass through, at best.

  • Configure my AirPort Extreme

    Can someone please show me the best configuration for my AirPort Extreme, I have the internet provider cable (Charter Communications) and I am connected to the modem via an ethernet cable and connected to AirPort Extreme to my iMac via an ethernet cable. What should be my settings in AirPort Utility for maximum speed for my wireless devices, i.e. the iPhones and iPads.

    Thank you

    AirPort Extreme is already set to provide maximum speeds, so there is not really what you would normally do in the way of adjustment of parameters of AirPort Utility for maximum performance.

    The Airport offers simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals using the same name of wireless network for both bands.  Wireless devices will pick up and choose the best connection based on their abilities and the distance to the airport.

    If you have a number of 5 GHz devices which will be normally located near the AirPort Extreme, you can use AirPort Utility option to assign a name different to the 5 GHz band wireless network to ensure that the devices always connect to the 5 GHz network.

    Personally, I do not use this option, because I'd rather have the devices to choose their stronger ... not necessarily the fastest connection link, but some users swear by assign a different name to the network 5 GHz and their pointing devices then to this network. This works well if the devices that support 5 GHz are close to the airport, but if the camera moves a few rooms away, it will tend to cling to the connection of 5 GHz when the 2.4 GHz connection is stronger and also probably faster at this place.

    Otherwise, the wireless is quite simple. Signals are fast and powerful, when a unit's line of sight at the airport. As a device moves away, the connection will slow down. If there are walls or other obstacles in the path of the signal, the signal will slow down even more try to get through the obstacles.

  • AirPort Extreme works with only a few devices

    I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11 model ac.

    It worked perfectly for about a month, but now, only a few devices are connected with it. These devices will be connected only after the opening of the AirPort Utility. My AppleTV will not indicate the network, but the message "no network connection. Your Wi - Fi network is not connected to the internet. Change your settings or select a different network. »

    I tried restarting the AirPort Extreme and my router by unplugging and plugging back. I also rebooted AirPort Extreme internally by restarting in AirPort Utility. From now on, only my iPhone and MacBook Pro will connect.

    Even with those who sometimes it will connect and the other will not.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I would say that your extreme is autonomous from router mode in Bridge mode... He can do. A power failure caused to ruin the current configuration and replaced another... you must remedy by a complete factory reset and reconfigure correctly.

    Before to do it tell us what model is your modem?

    And you have the configuration of the airport in bridge or router at this time?

  • I went from BT to sky, how can I get the Airport extreme to rework?

    We had BT broadband to Sky Broadband but I have problems to make the Apple Extreme, etc. to connect or around the House.

    You must deliver to the factory and redo the installation. Apple routers will always remember a lot of their previous configurations.

    But no matter which type of installation you have... have you changed routers and broadband type as well.

    If you have changed of BT router to router from Sky... in both cases, the TC must be in bridge... so another requiring power down and back up again, it should work... Wireless Setup might however need a bit of work.

  • How can I configure a program to run on only one heart of my multi-core computer?

    Hello

    I have a multiple basic computer, except a very processor that is only designed to run on one heart program (maybe you have heard of him; Dwarf Fortress. Otherwise, it is not really necessary, but good). Now I wonder, how can I set the program to run only on a single heart, whenever I start it? I have a shortcut on my desktop, so if it is not possible to change the parameters of the program or other stuff like in Windows itself, I don't have the ability to change the shortcut to make it work on a carrot.

    Hello Drake1500,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Since given as each program/software is configured differently to work on mulit or transformation of a nucleus there is nothing that Vista can do to change that.  You need to change something in the formula of the show itself.  I enclose a link below which talks about this issue.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  • How can I configure my login password so I only change my password twice a year?

    I think I need to change my password waaay too often to get into Windows. Is it possible to have windows to request a change of password two times a year? Thank you!

    Assuming you don't have XP Pro and a member of a domain that applies Group policies, you should be able to change the maximum age of password using the command 'net accounts' command prompt.

    Open a command prompt window: (start-> Run-> "cmd")
    Enter the following command:

    NET accounts /maxpwage:180

    To set the maximum age of password to 180 days.

  • ICan I use Time Capsule in my Airport extreme to save files Ihave on my windows7 computer?

    How can I configure my Airport extreme, time capsule 3 to use the portion of the time capsule for the backup of my Sony VAIO computer?

    You can back up a windows computer to Time Capsule but I do not recommend.

    Any backup software that can use target network should work.

    Macrium Reflect is the one I use, I know the Time Capsule works.

    Time line of engineering is a concept similar to Time Machine for PC... It's more that I want to make, but it doesn't seem to be a free version... How good or bad or I do not know what limits.

    Internal backup software MS is generally useless... at least up to win 8.1 10.

    NOTE... A USB connected to the laptop computer and formatted NTFS native is far superior to backup to TC which is formatted HFS + (illegible for windows) which is networked that the SMB protocol and treaded as NT server with all its limitations with FAT32.

    Like many things you answer the question you... Yes. If you have... N °

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

    When the reconfiguration of a base station AirPort as a bridge, it should NOT automatically reconfigure itself back using DHCP and NAT. something was wrong in the configuration of the base station or the base station itself is defective.

    Did you use your iPad to configure your AirPort Extreme? What is the brand and model of the modem Internet extreme directly connected by Ethernet to?
