I have Airport extreme, but need more coverage... is there a solution?

I have Airport Extreme and need coverage more wide/more strong... it's available somehow?

Ideally, the AirPort Extreme should be located in the center of your home, so the distance that a wireless signal has to travel to reach the outer parts of the House would be roughly equal.

AirPort Extreme is set to broadcast 100% of power, so the only way that you will be able to increase the range of the signal is to add one or more airports to "extend" the wireless network.

  • Should I still have AirPort Extreme with Arris TG1682G?

    I have an Apple Airport Extreme Wi - Fi to my home on 3 floors (basement, ground floor and attic).

    The week last Xfiniti sent me a new "Wireless Gateway," which they recommend that I use.

    It is model Arris TG G 1682 and supposed to give service 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz.

    Can I use this, it is faster or more strong signal through walls, etc. or continue to use my Airport Extreme?

    Thanks for any help!

    Alan.

    Nobody has a crystal ball that will be good enough to see your network performance, so that we cannot provide an answer for you about the question of whether you should use the gateway Arris or AirPort Extreme.

    Use your laptop to connect and check the connection Wireless at various locations around the House using the signal from the bridge of Arris.

    Then, do the same thing by using the AirPort Extreme signal.

    If you find the gateway Arris delivers a better signal than AirPort Extreme, then you need not in AirPort Extreme unless you want to have a separate network for guests or children.

    If you find that the AirPort Extreme works better than the Arris gateway, you can use the signal from the gateway for a network of comments or children. If you do not need a network comments or children, you might want to disable wireless on the bridge to reduce the number of wireless networks in your area.

  • I have a solid orange light on airport extreme but everything is fully functional, suggestions?  I have reset it.  Thanks in advance.

    I have a solid orange light, but my base station is fully functional.  I have reset the modem, the base station and in airport utility.  Airport utility shows no problem so I don't know what to do now.  Any advice would be great, thank you in advance.

    Is this new? If this is not the case, is what model?

    A fixed orange should be a serious error condition. Looks like it was just connected wrongly and the LED is upside down.

    It changes colour during the start cycle?

    If it is in the care of warranty or apple take it back to apple for replacement. There is nothing you can do about it.

  • I have Windows VISTA, but need Windows 2000 or XP

    I can not activate the fax or scan operations of my HP 4315 all-in-one with windows vista which is standard on this dell. What can I do to activate these features?

    Check out the HP Technical Support for your printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=1138342&sw_lang= &.  Download and install the latest driver for Vista and see if that helps (the fact that they have Vista drivers suggests that it is not a compatibility issue).  Also have utility downloads of diagnosis you can try that might help diagnose the problem (and maybe even fix).  If necessary, you can contact a technician using the:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/contacthp?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=1138342.  You can also try the HP Forums (there is one for your printer):http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/ct-p/InkJet.

    What version of Vista are you using?  You have the Fax Vista and the scan function activated (if available in your version)?  If so, try turning it off to see if that causes some kind of conflict with the HP software attempts to essentially do the same thing (or disable HP software and try to use the Vista software insttead if it is an option).

    The truth is, you need to obtain assistance from HP about this problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot open a recent file of a list of shortcuts with one click more. Is there a solution?

    On my desktop and laptops I'm used to opening recent documents by clicking on the shortcut from the taskbar and dragging upwards to open the Menu of rerouting, and then release the mouse on the document recent or pinned I want to open. Recently it has stopped working and I need to drag the open menu, and then click the file I want. This is the case with all programs I pinned (Office applications, Firefox, Chrome, Dreamweaver, Spotify, etc.).

    I know it is a trivial nuisence, but is it possible to fix it?

    That should never have been possible.  When you drag to the top, the mouse pointer should not "highlight" all elements of the list until what you let go of your drag.  in fact the trail itself was intended for touch screens.  Mouse users can do, but it is faster to right-click because you do not have to invoke trajectories.

    But anyway if he was doing it before, it was broken.

  • Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

    original title: drive hard extreme airport

    Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

    Hello

    Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

    ---------------------

    Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
    Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
    7 love the updated drivers.

  • Weak signal with airport Extreme

    Hello, we have an Airport Extreme tour in our condo. The signal is that two of our rooms is low. Is there a way to increase the signal? Not Apple or any other extenders of sale of business or boosters?

    Thank you

    Another extreme airport would be the perfect match to extend the signal of your "main" AirPort Extreme, but an AirPort Express pourrait point be good enough for your application, if the budget is limited.

    Ideally, the second airport would be located in the middle of the area where you need more wireless signal strength and then connect to the 'main' airport using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    It is possible to have the second airport to extend the first using a Wi - Fi connection... IF... the second airport is where he can receive a strong signal from the first airport.  A good location is at halfway between 'primary' airport and the area that needs more wireless coverage.

    Remember that when you extend wireless like this, there is always a loss of about half of the potential wireless speed on the network, then the result will be a network with the best range, but reduces the maximum speeds.

    The more you have line of sight between the airports, the network will be operated. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is the 'extension' airport to expand the speed of the signal it receives. It can make the stronger... wireless signal but can't go faster.

  • Airport Extreme - static IP configuration question

    Question: AT & T has us on a range of public static IP address xx.xx.xxx.33 - 38 (six addresses). I already put in place with the gateway, subnet. But I need the Airport Extreme to provide more than just 6 addresses to support all of our devices. Is this possible and if yes, how I have set up?

    Attempted solutions: I tried to expand the DHCP range manually in the settings of the utility. I changed it to 10.0.214.33 - 38 (which was the default range) to 10.0.214.30 - 39 to see if this helped more devices, but she did not.

    Help, please! Our business leaders are coming and I need to have this resolved.

    Thank you

    The key is that Apple routers are designed for general public use. They don't have many options when it comes to commercial applications. You better get a router that provides these additional features. I recommend that you consider the research in routers of professional level provided by Cisco (or similar) for this purpose.

    None of the available options, provided by AirPort Extreme, will be able to satisfy your needs network entirely.

    For example, you can use the network > router Mode to 'DHCP' option only This would use a public ISP IP addresses for the base station and to distribute the five for customers... other required network, but you will not be able to use this setting to distribute IP addresses private network customers remaining, as this option disables the service NAT on the base station.

    Will on the other hand, using the NAT and DHCP option would take care to provide for the remaining machines, private addresses but allow only one device is accessible with a public IP address by placing the appliance in a DMZ. Apple calls this a "default host".

  • 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.

  • Airport Extreme and Time Capsule of airport work together?

    I have time capsule and airport extreme. I need to decide if I should sell Airport extreme or is there a way for the two to work together to expand the wifi. Airport extreme can be connected to time capsule and extend the range?

    AirPort Extreme can extend the time Capsule network in one of two ways:

    (1) for the best performance, the AirPort Extreme is located in the heart of the area where most of the wireless coverage is needed, and it would connect to the time Capsule using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    (2) AirPort Extreme can connect to the Time Capsule wireless network and to extend the network in this way, if you're ready locate AirPort Extreme to halfway between the Capsule and the area that needs more coverage wireless... And... accept a drop in performance of half of the potential maximum speed on the network.

  • Airport Extreme delay in navigation

    Hello community,

    Need your help to solve this problem, went recently with a brand new Apple Airport Extreme, I have comcast as my ISP, I own my own a modem surfboard 6183 I have the service of the explosion. I'm running a brand new late 2015 5 k iMac. I had a router Netgear before this one and when I went on the navigation pages, everything was quick and fast, now that I have Airport Extreme, I noticed that it is not as fast as it was before and it feels like a slight delay when you go to the pages, is still not happen but its 'there' If you know what I mean. Someone at - it suggestions? I use Safari as my browser. Happy to add more info if needed.

    There are problems known between all modems of the sb series and airports... especially the AC series...

    The problem is not related to either be defective... they don't like each other.

    My recommendation is to replace the Modem... the Zoom works much better... However, I must warn you... It is not the panacea for all ills.

    Zoom modem.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7427491

    Or to replace the AE as the main router... you can always keep it to wireless and even part of the DHCP server... but not the main router. A cheap substitute may well work... since it does not need wireless... I recommend one of the TP-Link for example WR1043ND v2 or v3, which costs only $50.
