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.

  • 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 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 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.
  • Problems with AirPort Extreme and Qwest Modem/Router.

    I have a Qwest ActionTec 1000 DSL VDSL2 gateway and want to disable the functions of router wireless and those through direct AirPort Extreme. I know that in the Modem I have to disable the functions of addressing and turn them in the AirPort Extreme to avoid address conflicts, but what are the settings I need to change in both devices? And what is "A Transparent bridging" on the side of the modem?

    But what are the settings I need to change in both devices?

    Sorry, we can't help on the settings for the modem/router, because it would be a question of Qwest as to if this is even possible and if so, if Qwest will support this type of installation. Sometimes the ISP lock modem/router settings, and although it seems as if you can change the basic configuration of the unit, you can really.

    Yes, it is possible that another user of Qwest has done with the same modem/router you have and an AirPort Extreme... and may know the answer... but the chances of the person who holds this information also to see this post are slightly above zero. But, I guess it's possible.

    If the modem/router can be configured to operate only as a simple modem, then the next step would be to get your Mac connected directly to the modem to test the connection in this way. If Qwest is going to help you, they will do it no doubt with your Mac connected directly to the "modem" as well.

    Once you know the exact details of the PPPoE authentication to establish a connection, these parameters can be transferred to the AirPort Extreme and removed from your Mac. To do this, you reset the AirPort Extreme back to default and then put settings in place again. The installer should detect the PPPoE connection and then ask for your login information.  After this, the correct settings apply to AirPort Extreme during the installation.  You can still use the same wireless network name and password you used before if you wish, or set up a new network name and password.

    PPPoE on the routers of the airport, at least in my experience, was not a reliable way to connect when I tried this in the past, but you don't really know how well... or even if... it will work until try you it. Unless you really want the airport to distribute IP addresses to devices on your network, things would be a lot more simple if you went ahead and used the modem/router "such what" and then let the airport works in Bridge Mode to transfer information in connection with network devices.

    When you have the modem/router converted to act as a simple modem and made a successful connection using your Mac connected directly to the "modem", post back and we can help with the configuration of the AirPort Extreme if you need more advice.

  • Airport Extreme and Broadband Modem/Router

    I have my Airport Extreme (5th generation) plugged into a Broadband Modem/Router combo. I would like to have both able to use their wireless capabilities. The Airport Extreme has been previously connected to a Modem broadband all my IP addresses came by Airport Extreme (192.168.2. *). With the New Modem/Router combo broadband, it uses 10.0.0 * so I would be able to use Airport Extreme to add the 192.168.2. * While having the 10.0.0. * the Broadband Modem/Router combo.

    Is this possible and, if so, how do I configure Airport Extreme to do?

    Normally, you don't want two devices on the same network as the two try to act as routers to the same network. Which will produce conflicts of IP addresses... which can possibly be addressed... and a Double NAT problem, which cannot.

    The Double NAT error can cause a number of unpredictable issues... things like the problems of communication between the devices on the network, slow navigation... or, not navigation in the case of certain websites, Internet access slower, to name a few.

    Yes, some users may get away with a Double NAT on a single home network, but unnecessarily complicating things over a network is normally something you want to avoid.

    We do not recommend it, but if you really want AirPort Extreme for use range 192.168.2.x however, you can easily make this change using AirPort Utility. If you are not sure how to do this and need help, then we will need to know which version of AirPort utility you are using.

    To find, open AirPort Utility, and then click the menu of AirPort Utility in the far left of the screen corner. Click on about AirPort Utility to see what version you have and post back with that info.

  • Apple Airport Extreme and new FIOS router - problem

    Hello, I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11n base station, which worked well with a Comcast router.  When you set up with Comcast router, I set the router to comcast to bridge and the Airport Extreme has done all the work as the main router. When I switched to Verizon FIOS today, I get the typical mistake of NAT double (that I did with the Comcast before configuring the router to Comcast to bridge).  However, the tech support guy FIOS said that was not an option, so he set up my Airport Extreme in bridge - router off mode mode.  This really live to the top incoming access using SSH, Timbuktu or the Apple screen sharing, given that I can't assign fixed IP addresses to the computers on my network and can not use the Airport Utility Network Port settings to open "pipes" for a particular computer.  In addition, I'm more comfortable using Airport Extreme, rather than things FIOS. Someone at - it other than enter Comcast suggestions?

    I did a search and didn't see a post on this in the discussion forum.  Thank you

    What is the brand and model of your router Verizon? Verizon provides you with administrator access to it to allow you to make changes?

  • What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

    I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

    The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

    Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

    Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

  • Airport for Time Machine utility settings / Airport Extreme network

    I just added a new Airport Extreme to my former Network Time Capsule, to extend my Wi - Fi. I have read many posts and checked different websites, but I'm just getting more and more confused.

    How can I find out if the two grow Wi - Fi?

    I just added a new Airport Extreme to my network of Time Capsule prior to extend my Wi - Fi

    My internet DSL cable is connected to the Airport Extreme and then 2 ethernet cables both time Capsule and my Imac G5.

    No, unfortunately, we do not have it.  This tells us that your AirPort Extreme is the main router and that you have added a time Capsule to provide wider coverage wireless for the AirPort Extreme network.

    Sorry, but we are confused. Which of your statements above is correct?

    AirPort Extreme extends to the Time Capsule network, or have you changed your network so that the Capsule extends the AirPort Extreme network?

  • Streaming of Netflix problem with Airport Extreme

    Hello, I have netflix streaming problems, I have an Apple Airport Extreme that my main router, the problem is that I can access netflix app or website, I chose the title I want to watch that one and then an error message indicates

    Oops, something went wrong...

    Streaming error

    You seem to be using a proxy or a plunger. Please, turn off one of these services and try again. For more information, visit netflix.com/proxy.

    IM tried to plug my laptop directly into the ISP's modem and everything works normally on netflix, but when I go to the extreme of the airport something blocks streaming.

    I tried to reset to factory settings, but still the same error.

    Please a little help

    As you know, Netflix began to crack down on people who use proxy or VPN servers to access Netflix content that is meant to be seen in countries other than their own. I'm not accusing you of doing, but Netflix thinks you are.

    It happened always or just started happening recently? So recently, have you made changes to the network?

    I assume you are using an Apple AirPort base station that has been designed to operate in your country. Is this correct? If Yes, then the only thing at this point, I can think is to perform a 'factory' reset on your airport base station again and reconfigure your network see if this helps solve the problem. Otherwise, I would suggest that you contact support from Netflix directly to find out how you can get this resolved.

  • 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.

  • Connect to Airport Extreme to another router

    Hello.  I searched this forum to see if my question is already answered.  I couldn't find all the signs that answer.  If it has already been answered, please point me to the subject.  Otherwise, here's my question:

    I need to expand Internet coverage in my house.  This is the configuration I want to implement:

    • Cable modem (at one end of my house) connected to a WiFi router non - Apple.

    • Use an Ethernet cable to the router through my attic, at one Airport Extreme to the other end of the House

    • I would like to run an Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to my TV and another cable to an AppleTV

    This would give wireless coverage to the entire House and Internet wired for television and the AppleTV.

    I would like some advice on how best to implement.  Here are a few questions (although I don't know if I ask to everything that I need to ask):

    • If the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    • If the Airport Extreme and the other router have the same SSID and password?  Or it doesn't matter?

    • What should I do a configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    • I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.  If all goes well, I plan to spend this Saturday morning crawling into the attic and tonight Saturday benefiting the whole Internet.

    Should the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    DHCP, unless you have a preference for a static IP address.

    Airport Extreme and the other router has the same SSID and password?

    Yes, if you want both of your routers to behave as if they provided a unique network of "big". No, if you want to require users to log on the wireless provided separately by each router.

    I have to do any configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    Just run configuration 'Wizard' of Apple, and it will assign the correct parameters to the AirPort Extreme.

    I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    It is not clear, given that we do not know what another router you may have. Do you mean that the other router connected to the modem via DHCP... or... you hear the other router provide DHCP and NAT services for the entire network?

  • Airport extreme

    I use an AirPort Extreme as my WiFi router.  Currently, my Mac, the printer, the iPad and the iPhone is connect via WiFi.  If I were to plug "wired" to my Mac Mini, I'd get better performance?  That would be spoiling my WiFi network?  Can I just run a cable to the back of the AirPort Extreme to my Mac Mini, or I have to reconfigure my network WiFi?

    If I were to plug "wired" to my Mac Mini, I'd get better performance?

    Yes, the speed capability of connection between the airport and the Mac Mini would double or more.

    That would be spoiling my WiFi network?

    NO.

    Can I just run a cable to the back of the AirPort Extreme to my Mac Mini

    Yes

    I have to reconfigure my network WiFi?

    No, but you do not want to turn off the WiFi on the Mac Mini to make sure that the connection between the Mac Mini and AirPort Extreme will be via a wired connection.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11ac - I have a defective router again?

    Dear Apple friends,

    I reduced a problem with my Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router which I hope someone can shed some light on.

    Things I've tried:

    • Hard reset
    • Factory full reset w. of new settings.
    • Two different Apple ID (account iCloud)
    • Connection via the devices iOS (iPhone and iPad, both on v9.3.4)
    • 7.7.3 downgrade (problem).
    • New upgrade to 7.7.7 (problem).

    That is the problem.

    If I put a ID for 'Back to my Mac' Apple Airport utility > basic Station... updated and restart the router...

    .. .the router will not appear in Airport utility again unless I connect to it directly via IP.

    A Wi - Fi connection works fine but I cannot access the airport, or whatever it be connected until I have remove the back to my Mac (Apple ID) of Airport utility references.

    This router is a replacement from the Apple Store for a faulty Airport Extreme 802.11ac, who died after a few months.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. I think again that router to Apple, but before you make the trek down there, I would be a little sure that this isn't just a bug or a problem on the end of Apple.

    Thank you, in advance.

    No, you don't do anything wrong. This problem has been reported several times recently and the only 'solution' at this stage is to disable Back to My Mac on your AirPort base station, until Apple has a chance to solve this problem.
