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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 °

  • Airport Extreme, loss of internet connection of 5 GHz

    When I connect one of my devices (iPad, iPhone or Mac) to Airport Extreme, I see that the internet connection is down at any time. I started a continuous ping to an internal device and the external website using the ip address and I see a time-out from time to time to the external site, which may be more then 30 seconds. Internal devices remains accessible for ping on intellectual property. This occurs only on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wifi doesn't have this problem.

    I'm confused because the problem is only with external destinations after the modem, and only for the 5 GHz range.

    The version of the software is 7.7.3

    The modem is a modem cable Docsis, Ubee EVW320

    Any help is welcome!

    Ubee EWV320 is not a simple modem, but a combination modem/wireless router or a gateway device. How did you get your AirPort Extreme configured to work with this device? What exact model of the extreme you have, and it is connected to the Ubee by wire or wireless?

  • 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 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 do I properly fill my Airport Extreme to my Time Capsule?

    I'm trying to set up an Airport Extreme as a bridge to my Time Capsule via ethernet, so I can extend the range of my network. However, when I followed: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204616 I didn't see an option to "Share a public IP address" because the step by step seems to be older than my current Airport utility. How can ensure me that the setting applies?

    In the new version of airport utility, the installation program should be close automatic.

    Simply plug the new extreme in the TC with an ethernet cable... Extreme WAN LAN TC.

    Then run through the airport utility Setup Wizard.

    Use your own names... No, apple has recommended... I strongly suggest using short names... < 10 characters not alphanumeric pure spaces.

    It should then come with extend wired (ethernet).

    In case of failure we can do it manually... It is simple to install.

    Share a public IP address is not relevant because it is managed by the TC in any case.

    The extreme is dhcp on the Internet tab.

    Create a wireless network in the wireless tab.

    And the bridge on the network tab.

  • How to extend a WiFi router network not Apple using Airport Extreme and Express?

    My cable ISP company just gave me a new modem/router - a DG of Arris - 2470. For the last two years I used a cable modem independent older with a connected Airport Extreme (both located on the ground floor) and an Airport Express station on the floor as an Extender. I was very happy with the power of the signal around the House.

    Since his arrival to the Arris router my signal has become very low to the floor. I would use my two Apple devices to extend/boost my network, but do not know how to do this.

    Thank you!

    Basically, you have two options:

    1. (Best overall performance of the network) Connect the extreme and Express on the Arris Ethernet gateway device and configure all for a traveling-type network. This would require an Ethernet connection between all routers that can be accomplished by either using Ethernet cable or the use of mains adapters.
    2. (The overall performance of the adequate network) Simply connect the extreme to the Arris Ethernet, then extend the extreme using the Express.
