I was able to connect the extreme of the Airport via an ethernet cable to my sky router and use it to improve the signal?

Yes, if you understand that the Ethernet cable must remain permanently connected at all times.

If yes how I would go about setting up

Locate the AirPort Extreme right in the middle of the remote Valley where you need more coverage of wireless signal

Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the router from sky on 'o' WAN port on the AirPort Extreme <-->

Run the Apple installation "Wizard".

Assign the same exact wireless network name that uses the heaven to the AirPort Extreme router

Assign a name of device for AirPort Extreme

Enter the exact same word of wireless that uses the sky router

Enter the password to confirm

Click next and wait a minute, while the installation wizard does it all for you

Click done when you see the installation complete message

  • Cannot set the Airport Extreme to extend the existing network

    Network WiFi of my holiday home is provided by the router from my ISP (Time Warner). I have an Airport Extreme, which used to be configured to provide the WiFi network to another well, and I would use it to extend the existing on the TWC router network.

    I had a lot of trouble to do a factory reset on the Airport Extreme, but I'm sure I managed (by turning on with the pressed reset button) after several attempts. At least the extreme doesn't show signs of the old network, he has provided.

    When I try to set it up in the Airport utility, he wants only to create a new network. If I click on 'Other Options' and select 'Add to an existing network', the next screen is titled "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and prompts to enter a new network name and password. (Specifying the name of the network current generates an error because the network already exists, as I expect for the creation of a new network.)

    Any ideas on how to tweak this Airport Extreme by extending a network?

    TIA,

    Doug

    P.S. I have reviewed plugging extreme in one of the TWC router EtherNet ports and create its own WiFi network (with the advantage of adding support for 5 GHz), but the last time I tried I lost all connectivity; I'm afraid that the ISP network might protect against too broad network, although the glitch may have been a coincidence. If anyone has experience/ideas on this alternative configuration, I might be willing to try again.

    AirPort Extreme would not be able to connect using a wireless connection and to extend the wireless network of the ISP, but if you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the ISP using a permanent router, wired Ethernet cable, then AirPort Extreme could be used to provide broader coverage of wireless in this way signal.

  • I use Airport extreme and cable Airport Express to extend my wireless network.

    Setting up a wireless network

  • Can I use an AirPort Extreme to add wifi to wired devices?

    Essentially, I would use an AirPort Extreme as a wifi adapter WITHOUT using it as wireless access point. I really just want to access my wireless internet and distribute the connection via Ethernet.

    For more context, I have a time capsule airport connected to my modem fiber. Time capsule does a great job of the town house with wifi coverage. However, I have a couple of components in my home theater, who are not able WiFi (DVD player, older game system, etc.). I got to have an AirPort Extreme, so my hope is to use an Internet for these components. I would have preferred that she not also "extend" the wireless network and contract my all along (I know this isn't the end of the world, I just useless expansion of the range so there is no reason for me to enter the equation or more wifi signals bouncing around the House).

    I searched a bit and encoder table extend network via wifi or the creation of a network of travelling, but I have not found a way to have the extreme put in place to receive the rebroadcasting wifi without her signal. It's something I can do?  In the circumstances, any other suggestions for setting this up that doesn't involve running one cable Ethernet or the purchase of additional equipment?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would use an AirPort Extreme as a wifi adapter WITHOUT using it as wireless access point. I really just want to access my wireless internet and distribute the connection via Ethernet.

    This would work... IF... the AirPort Extreme has been implemented to extend wireless network provided another router from Apple. Which would mean that the AirPort Extreme also would act as a point of access Wi - Fi.

    It does NOT at all if you try to connect to a third-party router wireless AirPort Extreme wirelessly.

    Ironically, an AirPort Express can be configured to do exactly what you want using either a router from Apple or a third-party router as the "primary" router If two ports Ethernet on the Express are too few in number, you can add an Ethernet switch to create more connections.

  • Hi I have cone t to infinity of BT using my AirPort Extreme and Draytek Vigor 130 modem

    HI I went to BT Inifity a few months ago and started using the BT Hub, which accompanies it, now I want to use my AirPort Extreme which I have connected to a modem of 130 Vigor.

    I have reset the MONKEY and connected on 130 Vigor and everything looks fine please see the first photo,.

    However this page will automatically open in my web browser (see second photo)

    Your BT Home Hub is a device of combination modem & router or gateway. Your Vigor 130 is a simple modem. Your ISP is only expected that you have one or the other attached to their Internet service. What is your goal for the AirPort Extreme and what exact model is?

  • Airport express to extend my wifi signal

    I bought and set up the Airport express to extend a wifi signal in my house. I do not have an airport extreme as a base station - I thought I could use the express to extend the signal from my router/modem from verizon. Is this possible?

    Turned it "on" now, I don't see the express network as an option in my combo network - so assuming that it will seek to expand, what's the problem with it only shows not not in the drop-down list?

    The AirPort Express only wireless may extend over a network that is provided by another router from Apple.  As such, it cannot extend wireless signal router left 3rd.

    Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using a router from Apple, you will need two routers Apple.

    If you can connect the AirPort Express Terminal to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent, then the Express can be configured to provide additional coverage of wireless signal in this way.

  • Why can't I use my Airport Extreme routers to extend my Google fiber network?

    I had waited for a long time, and finally got Google fiber installed at my house this afternoon.  I had been so excited and had everything for my home network mapped out.

    I've never used router Wi - Fi an ISP, but I read that so many good things about the fiber of Google box Wi - Fi I had planned to make the core of my Wi - Fi network home.  The plan was to have the Google through my home box.

    I have two base stations Airport Extreme AC I used with my old set up with Time Warner.  My plan was to use to extend my Google Wi - Fi network with a floor and one on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to get there.

    I did a hard reset on two of my Airport Extreme routers and went to set them up as extensions, but I can't do it.  I have open Airport utility, select my device, choose 'Other Options', select 'Add to an existing network' and click Next...  Each time, my only option is to create a new network.

    Does anyone know a way around this?  I would really like to be able to have a base station wireless AC in every room of my house.  I also need the Airport Extreme routers set up somewhere in the chain so I can continue to do my wireless Time Machine backups.  Any tips?  I am currently very frustrated.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    -Brian

    Unfortunately, Apple routers will not be able to extend wireless signal of a 3rd party router. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is that routers Apple will extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple.

    If you could install another Apple router near the Google router and connect the Apple router using an Ethernet cable to the router fiber, and configure the router from Apple provides wireless... then... other airports will be able to extend the signal of the "main" Apple router

    You can use the fiber for a second wireless network or comments... or... If you need another network, there is probably a way to disable the wireless router fiber.

    Another option... If possible... would be to run both of your Apple routers Ethernet cables to the router of fiber. Then, Apple routers can be configured to extend the network of fiber like that.  Note that Ethernet cables should be left in place permanently with this option.

  • Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

    I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

    You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

  • Airport Extreme to extend Time Capsule Gen1

    I just bought an Airport Extreme and wonder if I set up correctly to maximize my wireless speed.

    1 Internet provider router

    2 Time Capsule Gen - 2 to - 2 802.11n (NETWORK WITHOUT WIRE ORIGINAL "MAX")

    3 airport Extreme (NEW) - 802.11ac 'MAX-EXTREME.

    Wired router ISP, connects to Time Capsule (MAX)

    Wired router ISP, connect to Airport Extreme

    During the installation of MAX-EXTREME, I opted for 'extend' by using MAX-EXTREME MAX. While "MAX" is broadcast in my house. What is the optimal configuration?

    Let me know if I should reconfigure the network.

    I want to just make sure I am maximizing my wireless speed and range.

    Thank you!

    You cannot extend when you link Ethernet... you created a loop of large networks.

    Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... Ethernet... SCI

    In this configuration, the TC is configured in bridge... and creates a... wireless network you can use the same name and the same Max-Extreme security... This is called roaming network. Never use measurement when you plug ethernet to a router.

    OR

    Router ISP... Ethernet... Max-Extreme... wireless. SCI

    In this configuration, TC is set to expand wireless Max-Extreme... no wired connection.

    The first configuration is far superior. And apple recommends to install more wireless roaming range.

  • How to create a network redundant ISP failover using 2 Airport Extreme

    Hello friends,

    I have 2 different lines of rented ISP related to my Airport Extreme 2. Was curious to know if these 2 AEs can be interconnected somehow to create a network of ISP failover. Users on AE 1 traffic would be transparent reassigned to the AE 2 and vice versa, if corresponding ISP fails. When the access provider is in place, they will return to their AE in elementary school.

    Thank you.

    Not without a smart dual wan router. That is to say done good load sharing.

    Extreme is about as simple a router you can find... He has the absolute minimum of functionality.

    Users on AE 1 traffic would be reassigned transparent to the AE 2 and vice versa

    You can do this by using some manual intervention... a simple change of entry door is usually sufficient.

  • 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.

  • 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 Express - to extend the wireless network

    Hello

    I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.

    the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?

    Sorry, but no.  The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.

    Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.

    If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.
