How is my AirPort Extreme from of unauthorized configuration?

I've set up my AirPort Extreme, she seems to have a good solid connection. I used my iPhone and AirPort to utility in place. Now I wonder, what keeps other users in the configuration? I only put in place a network password, not a configuration password. Anyone who knows my network password and have AirPort Utility on their iPhone arrive to my network?

If you have not set up a password of The Base Station , then anyone on your wireless network with AirPort Utility will have access to the configuration of your AirPort Extreme settings.

Now may be a good time to add a password for the Base Station if you have not already done this.

Tap on the AirPort Utility open on your iPhone

Press the image of AirPort Extreme

Tap on edit

Tap Base Station

Enter a password you want to use as a password for the Base Station or device

Check the password again

Tap done

Tap done again

Press update if prompted

  • How to use Airport Extreme with ethernet leased line

    Hello friends,

    I was wondering if Airport Extreme is a true router, can I connect gout ethernet of my leased line directly in its WAN port, rather than put the provided ISP router between the two? I have lived many positions and all seem to suggest the connection of a cable/dsl modem to the WAN port on the extreme. Not found any information where it shows the ethernet line rented directly linking in the Giga WAN port, without any 2nd device in the meantime.

    If it's possible, then I guess also what public IP provided PSI can be put into the WAN of AE interface. Can someone develop more on it and detail the steps of configuration? Given that EI has basic firewall NAT, I think it's doable, but can someone confirm please.

    Thank you very much.

    Temporarily, if you connect your computer directly to the Ethernet line, can you get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If so, then AIrPort Extreme could function as a router for you, but you are also likely to face a Double NAT error on the network. How well... or, even if... This might work cannot be known until try you it.

    If the computer cannot connect, then what is required of your supplier for the computer to connect and get Internet access?

  • How to fill Airport extreme wth my DSL router

    I am interested to buy an airport extreme and I currently have a DSL WiFi router. can I fill my current setup and then copy it into the new airport extreme, and then turn off my WiFi in my DSL router? in other words, I wish the Airport extreme to be the main WiFi, I hope I'm supposed?

    You cannot copy between dissimilar model routers.

    And there is absolutely no reason and without having to turn off the current router wifi and every reason to leave it on.

    The extreme must be in bridge including the Apple Installer mode to remove the wireless of comments. So I encourage you to just run two wireless networks... (there bandwidth to run 3 without causing problems).

    Create the wireless on the extreme with your own new values wireless... and you connect some Apple devices you want.

    But you can do what you want... just use the existing router SSID in the airport and use his password... However, this can cause problems for clients who expect a single Assembly and find that they are connected to something unknown.

  • Airport Extreme with guest network configuration

    Hello

    I have a two-storey house and want to spend an Airport Extreme on each floor.

    In technichal room I have my ISP and a witch (192.168.1.0) dhcp router

    There is also a switch and a patchpanel which I have connected my extreme two boxes to.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly? I would like to have internal wich wpa2 network and a network of comments without password and of course I want to have the same ssid, etc. on each floor.

    Thanks in advance.

    Henning

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly?

    There's the rub.  Since you have a router supports DHCP and NAT services to the network 'upstream' extremes of the airport, the airports must be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid Double NAT error that occurs when you have more than one router on a network.

    Unfortunately, the network comments feature does not work correctly when the airport is in Mode Bridge connected to another router.  The 'main' or private network works OK, but 'guests' will not be able to access the Internet.

    The only way to do what you want would be to configure things wrong by...

    (1) connect to an AirPort Extreme to the switch and configure it as a router to "create a wireless network" using DHCP and NAT.

    (2) linking the second AirPort Extreme for the first AirPort Extreme... not to the switch... and implement the extreme second "extend using Ethernet.

    Since you will have a Double NAT on the network, there is no guarantee that things will not work properly. Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but it can cause difficulties of communication between devices on the network and the difficulties with Internet connections as well.

    If you have a console online game and want to play interactively on the Internet, the Double NAT error will not allow this to happen.  Similarly, if you plan to use Back To My Mac or Port Forwarding for access over the Internet to remote devices, the Double NAT will allow these connections probably not happen.

    We do not recommend a Double NAT Setup, but we have some ideas on how to do it. There of probably no harm in trying the Double NAT configuration if you have the time and are willing to experiment to see if it peut work for you, I'm sorry, but there are no guarantees here.

  • New AirPort Extreme and 802.11ac configuration

    Greetings,

    I'll install a new new AirPort Extreme instead of my old Time Capsule gen1.

    Like many people here, I have a combination of features b/g, n and ca.  I want to make sure my end of 2013 iMac connects optimally via ac.  It is in the line of fire of the new router in 25', so it should be in a good location, if all goes well.

    My question is if I have to just put up an SSID and let devices their own switching group; or experienced here people recommend a SSID separated for the strip of the 5 GHz for ac and n devices?

    Thank you!

    Dave

    Start with normal default values.

    That is to say the band permutation is left to the Mac and SSID is the same on both bands.

    If you then find that the Mac makes the wrong choice... a real possibility. And it's important for you... Then assign the SSID on 5 GHz a different name.

    217Mbps is expected to reach a speed at 2.4 ghz and which probably exceeds the speed of your internet with a margin far... (you need at least 2 x the speed of wireless internet to follow, IE if internet is 100 Mbps Wireless should be 200 Mbit/s at least because of half duplex wireless nature). If you have several items that some should be forced to 5 GHz, which can control...

  • FIOS Actiontec router and old Airport Extreme.

    I have a FIOS Actiontec router wired to an old Airport Extreme. Signal guard fall. FIOS sends a new router, in case that's the problem. Do I have to run two networks or if I can disconnect Airpot extreme? (I use an old PC and several Mac products).

    You do not need to run two wireless networks, unless you want to, or you happen need a second network to "guest" or something like that.

    If you decide to keep the AirPort Extreme Active However, it must connect to the Actiontec router/modem.  In other words, the Actiontec router/modem may operate as a stand-alone product, but AirPort Extreme can do... because it doesn't have a modem on board.

    You don't mention how is old AirPort Extreme, but in general, the useful life of a router designed for home use is about 5 years, if the airport is in this range, and the descents are produce with AirPort Extreme, while the airport is therefore probably in the descent position.

  • Do I need an Airport Extreme?  is it better for B2MM?

    Stupid is - buy 6th gen Airport Extreme from 2013, no new design routers have all the new features that the airport is missing?

    Taking any router support NAT - PMP protocol or UPnP protocols should be able to support CCMM. Apple router first, while those of non-Apple generally support the latter.

    If you are currently satisfied with the performance of your D-Link router, it should not be necessary to replace it with the 6th gen extreme just for the CCMM.

  • Gigabit Ethernet through AirPort Extreme

    I just got a gigabit home connection. If I connect my iMac via ethernet to gigabit municipal internet provider modem, II can get about 800 Mbps download based on the file netspeed.com. Nice.

    However, when I use my Airport Extreme as a router ethernet (put the extreme between the iMac and the modem) my speed drops to about 1/10 of that.

    None of the devices that I currently own are capable of handling 802.11 ac, so I know I could not anywhere near gigabit wireless speeds. But it would be nice to have the fastest speeds on the one machine I intend to connect via ethernet, then connecy to the extreme wireless.

    Airport Extreme really limit the ethernet so? Is there a setting I can adjust for more fast ethernet routing?

    If the AirPort Extreme 802.11ac is configured as a DHCP and NAT router, then the WAN to LAN speed will be limited to about 300-400 Mbps.  Check the results here:

    http://www.SmallNetBuilder.com/tools/charts/router/view

    If the AirPort Extreme is configured in Bridge Mode, then you would expect to see 600 - 700 MB/s speed this way.

    http://www.SmallNetBuilder.com/tools/charts/router/bar/75-LAN-to-Wan

    If you don't see results, then the AirPort Extreme is not to negotiate properly with your modem speeds.  Unfortunately, Apple has removed all the settings to manually adjust WAN port on the AirPort Extreme 802.11ac speed, so there is not much you can do others try a few unusual things...

    One of them would be to insert a Gigabit Ethernet switch between modem and AirPort Extreme to see if it will negotiate better speeds like that

    Another would be to try an Ethernet cable between the modem and AirPort Extreme cross.

    If none of these things help, then you should ask Apple to replace the AirPort Extreme to you and hope for more luck in the next test.

  • 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 to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

    How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

    AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

    When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected. Please check the following airport user tip for more details.

  • How to configure WRT54G as a follow-up to my Airport extreme "n".

    I bought a WRT54G version 1 less than 6 months ago.

    Last week I got a Time Capsule from Apple with Airport Extreme 802.11n.

    As the Time Capsule AE "n" will be faster,

    I would use it rather than the main router.

    But how do the WRT54G an extension

    EI?

    basically is there a way I can configure two routers to work

    together and make the best of each?

    Thanks in advance

    Ignore the saber_tooth. It is just repeat everything. If you have a WRT54G web interface is something like this. You have to change the next radio button to disable the DHCP server on the WRT to the ' DHCP server: "leave"Enabled"to"disabled. "

    On the same page, you will also need to change the "local IP address". The default is 192.168.1.1. You must change this IP address to an available inside the Apple LAN address. The LAN on the most convenient airport is set up under the network tab of the Airport utility (at least on Windows version). The standard is to "distribute IP addresses" and "share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" and to use the addressing 10.0.1.1/24.

    You can also view this information on Windows, in a command prompt window by entering "ipconfig". The interesting information is the IP address on the connection to the local network, the subnet mask and the default gateway. On a Mac, type "ifconfig" in a Terminal. Search the en0 interface, which should display the IP address after "inet" and the network mask. You will find the entry door with "netstat - rn". Locate the line of destination 'by default'. It shows the door entry in the second column.

    The subnet mask or network mask is usually 255.255.255.0 or 0xffffff00. With this subnet mask, all IP addresses with the same three digits belong to the same subnet. If you have an IP 10.0.1.123 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 IP address 10.0.1.1 - 254 belong to the subnet. All IP addresses would be possible. Of course, you can not choose the IP address of the gateway (Airport). I don't know what IP address the airport itself uses by default. If you have any doubts, after the IP address, gateway address and subnet mask that you found on a computer that is connected to the Airport (i.e. The WRT not connected anywhere).

  • 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.

  • Why Airport Extreme disappeared from Airport utility, after adding to the mac feature?

    10.11 OS, with the version of the airport, 6.3.6.  I can see is no longer my Airport Extreme Airport utility after I activated to Mac. I have Airport Extreme base ME91899/A and two Airport Express units model A1392 bolt torque.  I set up the Airport Extreme unit and the network first.  I was able to see the Airport utility. I then added each airport express unit. They were also visible. Then I added back the ability of Mac to the Airport extreme unit, and now it is no longer visible in the Airport utility.  Why is this?

    Apple has problems much time with iCloud. Turn off Back to My Mac across your airport routers and then shut down and restart the entire network.

    We will have to wait for a fix from Apple.

  • AirPort Extreme can disappear from the network

    I have an airport Time Capsule 802.11ac 3 TB, implemented as my router, connected to a cable modem Comcast.  I also three units AirPort Extreme 802.11ac connected via an Ethernet cable and configure in Bridge mode.  The settings were all made with Apple AirPort Utility, using the default settings.  All devices are new, and have the latest version of the (7.7.7) package.

    My problem is that one of the SSA keeps disappearing from the network.  The AP utility shows all devices, but unity of the 'room' is still "missing in your network.  When I restart the device by unplugging the, the unit seems to work fine for a little while.

    Because the problem occurs on a unit, I think not that it is a question of ISP or OS.

    Has anyone else had a problem like this, and understand you?

    It is not uncommon.

    What modem do you use?

    Question I would like to change.

    1. your names are too long and contain spaces.

    Use any short names, without spaces and pure alphanumeric characters. Names must be less than 10 characters... all names... both network name.

    See Pondini for questions that arise with more long names... and that was before Apple changed network SMB.

    http://pondini.org/TM/C9.html

    2. the WAN port on the AC model TC and AE are not reliable.

    In bridge, what do you do better move the connection to one of the LAN ports...!

    3. you have an unreliable ethernet cord or if it is installed in the wall a bad Jack which is down to... This happens especially in that self installed ethernet... and even the ordinary electrician has problems... sometimes wrongly wired a pair of broken. You should test all ethernet correctly and make sure have full gigabit connections.

    4. use static IP via both a dhcp on the TC and AE reservation jumpered on the internet tab. Least IP moves the less work THAT DNS must do to stay.
