How to configure Airport Extrem with OS El Capitan?

Hello, I need help to set up airport Extrem with the OS X El Capitan. The system always show the same question:

You will not be able to administer the old 802.11 g with your Mac OS X El Capitan AirPort base stations.

Basically, you have three options:

  1. Replace the Express with a newer 802.11n model.
  2. Use a Mac with OS X Lion or earlier version.
  3. Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.

  • 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?

  • Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

    I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

    However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

    I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

    So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

    In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

    Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

    Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

    My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

  • The Airport Extreme with Time Machine and HD 1 t

    I have an Airport Extreme with built-in hard drive of 1 t. My iMac has a 1 t hard drive too. Time Machine has successfully supported the HD integrated for a few years now, but he can't. The message said: he needs 2.7 T. Why would it need to back up a hard drive of 1 t?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list, so everything there should be backup is the HD 1 t, which still has unused space on it. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list

    I think that you include perhaps instead of with the exception of the...

    If you look at time Machine... the list of disks, you should have is excluded... If remove you it from the list of the excluded, they are included...

    It is opposite to almost anything else, I saw where you include on the list of things.

    In this menu area, you must have all of the listed external hard drives. Because they are excluded not included... If your list is empty as mine... then all are INCLUDED.

  • How to configure a VM with multiple network cards to see Agent?

    How to configure a VM with multiple network cards to see Agent?

    We can archive this requirement by configuring the subnet used view Agent.

    The subnet determines which view address of Network Agent provides the server instance to connect to view for the client protocol connections. The view on VM officer has more than one NIC

    Follow the procedure below:

    on a display Agent installed VM,

    * Recording of VM session.

    * RUN--> type regedit or type regedit.exe at the command prompt

    * Create a registry entry to configure the subnet.

    For example: is HKLM\Software\VMware, Inc. \VMware VDM\Node Manager\subnet = n.n.n.n/m type - REG_SZ.

    In this example, n.n.n.n is the TCP/IP subnet, and m is the number of bits in the subnet mask.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • Problem of AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express network expansion

    I have a dual-band Airport Extreme 802.11n that I bought in 2012 which is currently my home wireless network. I am trying to extend the network with a new AirPort Express with the AirPort 6.3.6 utility running OS 10.11 on an iMac. The Airport Express appears in the option other Wi - Fi devices. When I select it, AirPort utility tries to connect and then I get this message "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. "Try again does not lead to a different result, and I can't seem to find useful information in the documents support or conversations. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    It should be easy enough to operate the express, but you must tell us all the info.

    Configure the Express in the same room as the extreme.

    Using wireless to expand? Then you simply plug power in the Express... and it should pretty much automatically connect to the extreme.

    If you want to extend through ethernet, you should connect the Express in the extreme and make sure that the configuration of the airport utility selects extend by wire.

    If the Mac does not work you have the iphone or ipad and use Airport utility for iOS... it tends to be more reliable.

    Still no luck does your Mac have port ethernet... in this case, you can plug it into the computer with ethernet and try again... more wireless implementation looks like sawing off the branch to that which you are sitting.

  • I get my internet through a Repeater.  There is a POE carrier then online, then a router adapter yet.   Can I use an Airport Extreme with POE to improve my WiFi range?

    I live in Baja California Surinamese no cable.  You want to improve WiFi.  Not sure how to interact with a POE.  Tried to set up the airport without a bit of luck.  Appreciate some feedback.

    If the connection between the POE (Power over Ethernet) device and the AirPort Extreme is a wireless, then you will not be able to extend the network Wi - Fi of the OCB in the extreme. This is possible with an another AirPort base station.

    In addition, only a particular model of the base station AirPort Extreme POE supported wired connections. It was discontinued in 2007 and is model # A1034.

  • Replace 2004 Airport Extreme with more later?

    WE have an iMac 2009 running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro in late 2011, with the help of an old 2004 Airport Extreme Base Station. The second works very well, but I just discovered it's crimping our internet speeds considerably from that proposed Comcast (tested with ethernet this morning). I know that the new Airport Extreme WORK with our computers, but it will increase our speed, even though computers support not the fastest new PHY mode? I would not upgrade the router only to learn that we do not earn a lot (we can't get much more with the current router 17mbps, but by ethernet, we got 57mbps this morning).

    Thank you

    Owen

    So, if you have connected an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the port on the AirPort Extreme Ethernet older you 57 Mbps... or did you connect your Mac directly to your modem using Ethernet and pick up the 57 Mbit/s in this way?

    When you have measured 17 Mbps on the wireless connection... it was with the computer about 6-7 feet (or about 2 meters) from the airport with direct line of sight between the computer and the router AirPort?

    How many other wireless devices are also involved at the time?  To get a decent wireless speed reading, you want to try to restrict things to a single computer and the router from the airport when you run the speed control.

    Then add more wireless devices and run the speed check again to see how the "charge" on the wireless network speed is affected.

  • 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.
