How to change where the Airport Extreme think that there is

• 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.

• Where can I find the Airport extreme N model number?

  Where can I find the Airport extreme N model number?

  It seems that the 3, 4, 5 are all Ns.

  I wish that my laptop wireless backup. A friend has his 5 AE do this via the usb port that is connected to a powered hub.

  Thanks for any advice.

  That's kind of how count you...

  But if your AE running 7.6.4 firmware it is Wireless N...

  A look at the base of the number. It is on the first line of molded rubber or paper label. A1408 is Gen5.

  I wish that my laptop wireless backup. A friend has his 5 AE do this via the usb port that is connected to a powered hub.

  Now for a piece of info you don't want to know.

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

  Apple does not support the time machine is a model AE before last Gen6. A lot of people use it, but it can be unreliable... people have a different experience. Just to note that it is not taken in charge and reliability might be good bad or anywhere between the two... Ask yourself how useful is a backup that is not reliable.

• Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

  Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

  Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

  Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

  Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

  To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

  Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

  When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

• provider changed vague Qwest and now one device connects to the net.  Seems to not be recognizing the airport extreme.  Patches?

  Decided to change providers.  Network domestic fine fixed by extreme airport which has been consulted by 9 apple devices and windows device.  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.  Is this a problem with my airport extreme or vague does not not with mac?  All the patches would be appreciated.

  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.

  Sounds like Installer connected your laptop directly to a modem to put in place the new connection.  If that's what happened, then the modem will recognize your laptop, but it will not recognize the AirPort Extreme, then it will appear as if only your laptop can get a connection.

  The modem and AirPort Extreme should probably be reset and then set it up again. We'll know more soon.

  Can you provide the number of brand and model of the modem that was shipped with your service?

  What operating system uses the laptop?

• How to reset the airport extreme to factory default

  My Airport & time capsule are not connected to the modem, saying no dns server is available, however the modem works when connected to the computer. (Macbook) After hours of troubleshooting, I would just restore default settings and see if I can get it going again. Can anyone provide info on restoring the default settings?

  Thank you!

  • Turning off AirPort Extreme for a minute or two
  • In the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme first... and keep taking them for 7 to 8 seconds... while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.  (This step is a bit complicated for most users, because it takes almost 3 hands to do it properly)
  • Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention and allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme back on the way to a slow, flashing amber light status

  AirPort Extreme is now back to the State it was when you took it first out of the box.

• 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.

• Add a second macbook air, now the airport extreme has stopped working

  I got a new (for me) 2012 macbook air to replace my MBA 2010 last night. I had another macbook air on the network to download some files in iCloud. As soon as I started the MBA new upward across the network crashed. (Features were always connection ac Airport Extreme router, green light, but no internets).

  Restart the router helped briefly before the problem comes back. When I connect with the new MBA, I had seen an error there are two Macbook Air on the network and it was changing the name of one of them.

  I read somewheres that download great traffic and a lot of features sometimes overwhelms the airport extreme (huh? not very extreme), so I made the turn power off the wireless on iPad, apple tv and the old MBA. This, most reboot the router and the modem seemed to do the trick for a while, until that there no more.

  I read around DiscoveryD and the problems with Hello. Will try this angle when I go home.

  I see here that maybe I need to reset (rather than just reboot) my router now that there's a new kid on the block - the new MBA.

  Any other ideas?

  Where did you got your 'new' MacBook Air? Apple or an evening private? If the latter, it can be configured as such not "play well" with your existing home network. If you have received this by a private party, I strongly suggest you reload a clean version of the feature of MacOS X. In this way you will start with a Mac "out-of-the-box" and should have an easier time getting connected to your network without problem.

• The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

  I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

  Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

  I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

  I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

  Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

  I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

  It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

• What to do if the reset button does not work on the Airport extreme a1408 w / Password lost?

  What to do if will not work the Reset button on Airport Extreme a1408? The password is lost (bought used). I spent several hours trying every method I could find anywhere on how to reset; soft, hard and default. Airport utility doesn't let me do anything without the previous owner password. I can't get him.

  Can anyone help?

  At this point, your only hope is to open the AirPort Extreme to try to repair the reset button... If possible. This link provides some tips on the process to open the unit.

  https://www.iFixit.com/device/Apple_Airport_Extreme_Model_A1408

  Honestly, it isn't easy, unless you're a guy real DIY, you can buy an A1408 used on Amazon for about $35-40.

• 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 utility: green points on the AirPort Extreme &amp; Internet; Mini Mac does not connect to the internet.

  Airport utility shows green points on the AirPort Extreme and the Internet, but my my Mac mini does not connect to the internet. IPhones and 2 portable Windows connect very well, and see all the devices on the home network. The problem occurred after that PSI has swapped an ancient for a Comtrend CT5072T DSL modem. I tried to stop and things start back up as if the installation of the internet for the first time. No joy.

  The airport connects using DHCP in Bridge Mode

  The router address is 192.168.80.1

  Address IPv4 is 192.168.80.2

  DNS server is the same as the router, but grayed out

  Mac Mini IPv4 Address is 192.168.80.3

  IPv6 automatically configures

  Also updated the firmware of the airport; no change.

  ISP guy was friendly but puzzled. He started at the top floor level Tech, so I do not know when I hear back.

  Any ideas to fix?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Network preferences may be damaged.

  Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

  Type or copy paste the following text:

  / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

  Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

  Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

  Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

  Then open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilitiies

  Make sure that both Internet and Extreme are green.

  

• Open ports on the AirPort Extreme 7.7.7

  I wonder how to open ports on the AirPort Extreme version 7.7.7.

  I spoke to Microsoft some ports I need to open for my Xbox and have the list of ports. I'm looking for how to do this. I have no experience with this sort of thing and I know that I can do in the AirPort Utility application, but I don't want to mess with all that I wouldn't have to. I tried to search online for this guides and I can't find anything that is recent. When I watch videos, everything is a little different and the interface is not quite the same more so any help is appreciated.

  I got this Tip for the user of an airport for this situation. Check it out and see if this helps you.
