• Can I use old time capsule for storage only with a new airport extreme (standard want latest HQ)?

  I have a time Capsule elders (802.11n). I would like to know if I can still use this time Capsule only as a network storage device, if I decide to build my network with a new Airport Extreme (802.11ac). If I can do that, how would I set up the network to continue automatic backups with a router to update?

  To do what you want, the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac would be installed as the "main" network router The time Capsule would be connected to the AirPort Extreme, using a wired Ethernet cable connection, and the time Capsule should be configured to run in bridge with the service Mode Wireless off.

  Any Mac you want to save in the time Capsule would need to have Time Machine preferences on each Mac adjusted to ensure that the time Capsule has been set as the target for backup.

  If you decide to add the AirPort Extreme, post back for more information at this time, if you need installation instructions step by step.

• New Airport Extreme

  I want to Exchange my old AE for a new on my PC using windows 10. Unfortunately, Airport utility does not pick up my new AE to allow me to do something with it.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  Windows cannot be used to install and configure the current version of the AirPort Extreme. You will need a Mac running a current or recent operating system or an iPhone or iPad to configure and administer the AirPort Extreme.

  Of the product from Apple on the AirPort Extreme:

  

  Once you have created the new AirPort Extreme and operating a PC should be able to connect to the network generated by the airport wireless.

• How do you connect a (very) old Apple Airport Express to a new Airport Extreme network?

  For Bob Timmons:

  I have 2 old airport expresses, an old and one even older. The network home fled the old Express (connected to a modem), who abandons the connection several times a week. The older Express seems quite dead. What I want to do is to increase wifi coverage in my house (no wifi in the kitchen or the 3rd floor). I buy an Airport Extreme to manage the network, hoping that it would provide wireless coverage in my blind spots. Then I could use the former, Express work next to my stereo to listen to the music of my iMac.

  However: the new airport utility shows but does not interact with my work Express. If I buy one extreme and put in place, how I can add the Express network. I downloaded 5.6.1 (and launcher) Airport utility, but don't know if I can use 6.3.6 to implement extreme and 5.6.1 Configure Express.

  Any thoughts on this would be welcome.

  Sorry, I forgot to ask: even if the Airport 6.3.6 utility on the iMac refuses to 'see' the Express, would be the iPad method you mentioned work with an older Express?

  The model numbers of my expressed are:

  work: A1084

  a death: A1264

  Well, if A1264 is dead, it is the end of the discussion on this model.

  A1084... assuming it works... could probably be used for AirPlay, but the A1084 calls this AirTunes.

  The A1084 is at least 9 years old, probably older and the average useful life of an AirPort Express is about 3-4 years. It is amazing the A1084 to work at all, but school drop-outs you see now with the Express indicates that it is heading for the South, he may not be around much longer.

  If you want to try using the A1084 Express, it can be implemented and administered using an older version of AirPort 5.x on a Mac or a PC utility. No matter which version of AirPort 6.x...or.. utility. AirPort on an iPhone or iPad utility may NOT be compatible with the A1084 Express.

  If you are considering a new AirPort Extreme... and... or buy at Apple, so you have one day 14 return privilege on the product, if it will not do what you want, you can return it for credit or a return.  The older A1084 expected to collaborate with the new AirPort Extreme if you spot a version 5.x of AirPort on a Mac or a PC utility to configure the product.  But... saying "should work" is not the same thing as saying "work"... then it will be one of those moments where you won't know how well... or even if it will work until you try.

• New AirPort Extreme and 802.11ac configuration

  Greetings,

  I'll install a new new AirPort Extreme instead of my old Time Capsule gen1.

  Like many people here, I have a combination of features b/g, n and ca.  I want to make sure my end of 2013 iMac connects optimally via ac.  It is in the line of fire of the new router in 25', so it should be in a good location, if all goes well.

  My question is if I have to just put up an SSID and let devices their own switching group; or experienced here people recommend a SSID separated for the strip of the 5 GHz for ac and n devices?

  Thank you!

  Dave

  Start with normal default values.

  That is to say the band permutation is left to the Mac and SSID is the same on both bands.

  If you then find that the Mac makes the wrong choice... a real possibility. And it's important for you... Then assign the SSID on 5 GHz a different name.

  217Mbps is expected to reach a speed at 2.4 ghz and which probably exceeds the speed of your internet with a margin far... (you need at least 2 x the speed of wireless internet to follow, IE if internet is 100 Mbps Wireless should be 200 Mbit/s at least because of half duplex wireless nature). If you have several items that some should be forced to 5 GHz, which can control...

• New Airport extreme can't see printer

  I have a new Airport Extreme with an external hard drive and printer, but all of a sudden the printer to stop working with a "printer not connected" message. The reader and the printer are connected through a powered USB hub. What is the problem?

  While keeping the USB hub powered in place, try to temporarily remove the hard drive and have just installed printer. Can you access the printer now?

  If so, it may be that the powered hub may not provide enough power or it is defective. If this isn't the case, temporarily connect the printer to your computer. It is accessible now?

• connect an old Belkin router to a new Airport Extreme

  Connect my old Belkin N300 router to my Airport Extreme new would have any advantage to do?  What would be the benefits?

  I would only do this if you have any questions using the router Apple on say a PC or a customer who don't will connect easily to the AE directly.

  You must connect by ethernet... and configure the Bellkin in mode Bypass WAN... Just google that... unless it of a very recent model and has WAP mode built in.

  What question first of all of your problems. If you need help post again with the why so we have an idea how to do the installation.

• OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless does not connect to my new Airport Extreme router

  I've owned my Officejet 8000 Wireless printer for about a year and had no problems with it.  However, my old wireless router wasn't fully compatible Mac so I couldn't fix it with a password.  I now need a secure network, so I bought an Apple Airport Extreme router in December.

  Last night, I installed the router and it works fine on my iMac, my laptop and my iPhone.

  However, tonight, I'm trying to implement Officejet Pro 8000 with no luck.  I searched the posts here for 3 hours and am not finding the help I need.  Based on the other posts, I read, I describe my situation below.

  I am trying to set up the printer in my iMac Intel with Mac OS 10.6.4

  I'm trying to set up the printer with the installation wizard HP I just install the printer software.

  On the first screen of the wizard, it tells me that my device is not configured (I agree)

  Then I ask him to set up a wireless network.

  When I get to the network selection page, both my network AND my network of comments (that I let my neighbor use) are on the list with the full signal strength.

  When I click on my network and then continue, the HP installation wizard hangs and I have to stop, he.

  When I click on my guest and then network continue, I get the message that my network is not within reach.  (FYI, the printer is 10 feet from the router).

  I tried to power on/off the printer, the router and the computer at all different stages of the process with no luck.

  For my Airport:

  My radio is set to the most compatible choice

  MAC access control is not enabled

  Everything is WPA2 security

  'Use wide channels' and "Create a closed network" is unchecked

  The channel is set to 11

  I'm happy to try the "Add client in the network" thing I've seen on other posts, but I don't think that I have a front panel of the printer where I can start the "WPS" (don't know what it is) process.   If I do, it is not obvious and not in the HP manual.

  My ISP is Comcast (cable internet).

  I'd really, really grateful for the help!  Please let me know what I forgot to include information, and I will be happy to provide it.

  Thank you!

  OK to reset the printing system again, he may be blocked.

• Connection printer 3050 has to new airport extreme router

  I just upgraded my router to the extreme of Apple Air Port and cannot figure out how to connect the printer to the router.  I do not have the CD that came with the printer and can't find where to download the HP software.  The printer is recognized on computers (Mac OS 10.9.2) goal will not display because it is "not connected" to the network.   Before, I just used the WPS option on the printer and pushed the button on the router.  Since this is not an option more, I keep looking, but does not know where to put the PIN either.  Help, please!

  Thank you!!

  Thanks for the reply.  I called Apple support and they walked me through the steps of adding a printer WPS to extreme Air Port (Airport basestations Menu utility (top), then select Add a WPS printer and then have it search for printer or enter the PIN).  He missed by looking at the menu at the top of the AirPort Utility where the Menu Option of base station is... But I can't believe how it was difficult to try to find a solution to the HP Web site for that!  Looks like it would be a simple soultion to the list.

• I have older Airport Extreme and Express but I now want to set up a new router Airport.

  I have an old Airport Extreme as my main hard wired (ethernet connected) router and an Express that I use as wifi Wireless extender.   Now, I want to set up a new Airport (probably Extreme) router and use the old Airport extreme as extender wifi hard wired (ethernet cable).

  I know that I have to reset the old default airport routers. But, how I do this and please start from there and the beginning, their reset and then up to the new Airport base station and then configure the older router to use with the new? Please be detailed, step by step and attach written instructions or places that I can get the instructions.

  What exact models are each of your airport base stations? Once we have this information, we can help you get your properly configured access point.

• 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.

• Problems of ' 09 Time Capsule to the Airport Extreme upgrade

  I with success the setup a new Airport Extreme (AE) and I want to continue to use my Time Capsule (TC) 2009 as a backup drive. However, I have questions. What is the right way to implement these devices to play nice?

  I have currently the modem ethernet fall on the AE WAN ethernet. Then I have another ethernet cable connecting the AE LAN ethernet in the TC WAN.

  In addition, I have the TC Network Mode as 'OFF' and his router Mode as 'Off (Bridge Mode).

  Is everything is OK?

  All correct so far.  Also check the Internet tab to ensure that the TC is to connect using DHCP = AirPort Utility.

  

  At this point, what other problems are live you?

• where can I find the mac address for Airport Extreme

  just bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac and I don't know here to find the MAC ADDRESS. Can someone tell me where to look. I have the model and serial number, but can not find the MAC ADDRESS.

  Is the AirPort Extreme, set up and operation right now... even if he could not have an Internet connection?

  If Yes... Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Hold down the option key on your Mac when you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  The next page will display a summary of the parameters

  The AirPort Extreme has done 3 different MAC addresses... Ethernet, WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi.   If your AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem by an Ethernet cable, then the Ethernet ID is the MAC address.

  If the AirPort Extreme has not set up yet at all...

  Open AirPort Utility as above, and then click the file menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon

  Click on configure the other

  For address, enter 10.0.1.1

  A password is normally not necessary, but if you are prompted for a password, use the word

  public

  Click OK, the settings summary page is displayed.  In most cases, given that the AirPort Extreme connects to a modem via an Ethernet connection, you want to use the Ethernet ID as the MAC address.

  If you are still experiencing difficulties, you have 90 days of support Apple phone. Call them and maybe they can explain why that should be a very simple task is so difficult.

• Airport Extreme network orientation parameters

  Here is our network (diagram below) configuration:

  Internet is available through a pass by modem cable to the Sonic Wall set with a static IP address. The wall of sound, we have a port to a point of cradle that is not with a static IP and gives on a totally different range of the IPS via DHCP to our POS. Another port of the Sonic Wall, I had going to the WAN port on our new airport extreme. I have a switch with some control machines connected to the Airport extreme via an ethernet cable. All devices connected via wifi or hard cable with Airport extreme are placed for IPS via DHCP.

  I am trying to configure parameters on a new device extreme airport our Wi - Fi to my company. We recently had some problems of internet connectivity for a minute or two at a time and I wonder if it could be some sort of conflict of IP address or if it was just a failure of the internet that did not affect the status of the modem lights cable (all were green = connected). Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  30 days later we have a brief interruption in internet connectivity with our credit card processing POS two days in a row for a minute or two of. After the second case, we shut down the extreme airport just in case that was causing our problem. I had a technician COMPUTER down and he suggested I put the airport with a static IP (x.x.7.80) outside the range of IP addresses of our wall router Sonic DHCP-range (let's say it was x.x.7.100 - x.x.7.252) he has been giving and then configured the network settings for DHCP LAN only Airport (I used x.x.7.10 - x.x.7.70) with a range that doesn't overlap the IP of the Sonic Wall range. Part of the confusion, I had during the configuration of the airport was if I needed to plug in our Sonic Wall static IP address in the 'router' address and if I needed to use the DNS servers that appeared in the Sonic Wall settings (I thought he was shooting at those of the cable company). After you make these changes, I got a green light on the airport and the connection was working fine when tested. The next day, we had another interruption of connectivity where our treatment card and internet from WIFI got interrupted. I unplugged the power of WIFI and it seemed that our POS network has begun to process cards normally again.

  The point side cradle of the network is to grasp what IP the sonic wall gives him and give the address on a completely different system that is used in the other part of the network. Another question would be if I can just put the Airport extreme to DHCP mode under the 'Internet' parameter and go to the bridge on "Network" setting Mode I don't know how the bridge Mode would affect our network. I'm not wanting to do anything on the side POS (point of cradle) which is rather difficult with someone like me who is not an expert. Any thoughts are appreciated to help me resolve this issue.

  

  Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  There are two schools of thought on this.  The traditional method (better, in my opinion) would have the AirPort Extreme, put in place in Bridge Mode... Since you already have another router... (the Sonic Wall device which is upstream of your network)... providing routing services.

  Although you might be able to make a network work well with two different devices acting both as of the routers on the network, it complicates things, adds another firewall to the network, and also produces a base called Double NAT network error.

  Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but the double layers of NAT may cause some unpredictable problems. The usual problem is slower navigation, or you will not be able to access some Web sites.  Network devices may not communicate reliably, or communicate at all in some cases.

  This is why Apple software configuration you advise to set up AirPort Extreme in bridge... Mode to fix the Double NAT error. This type of configuration simplifies your network... Since one device will put a router... not two.

  In recent years in particular, we have seen some tips on forums that goes against the rules of traditional networking.  These people that it is OK to have two devices both try to act as routers to the same network... and to 'ignore' the Double NAT error on the network.

  It's interesting tips, since the Apple software advises you avoid having a Double NAT on the network... and some advanced features like Back to My Mac specifically Apple advise to avoid a Double NAT error on the network.  If you have a console online game and you want to play interactively on Internet, you already know that a Double NAT error will not allow this.

  My suggestion would be so... If you have not already tried it... to set up the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.  Apple calls this setting off (Bridge Mode)... which simply means that routing services are turned 'Off' Mode bridge.

  You can still assign a static to AirPort Extreme IP address, if you want, but the devices that are connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive the Sonic Wall router network IP addresses... Since the airport acts as a simple device to "go" when he returns and in Bridge Mode.

• 2nd airport Extreme replaces an older AP, it is connected via wifi or ethernet?

  Sorry for what is lame, I read on the news from Apple, but I'm a bit confused with the concept of the expansion of the range with a bridge instead of an access point.

  The original installation was an extreme Apple with a TrendNet AP. The Trendnet used a different SSID, the new bridge to the AESB uses the same SSID as the router/AESB. I used the Airport utility, and I think that it only gave me an option to extend the reach of the original AEBS. The new bridge to the AESB is connected to Ethernet.

  I'm confused that if the new AESB uses the same SSID as the AESB/router, it means that it does not use the ethernet connection. How can I know if the second AESB is using the Ethernet connection or extend the reach of the Wifi? Or actually I mess up and need to re-setup the AESB?

  A bridge is actually one access point, but uses the same SSID? all the other differences?

  Thanks in advance!

  Let's back off on the terminology for a bit, since terms such as 'spread', 'bridge' and 'access point' can mean different things to different people.

  You have an AirPort Extreme at the moment which produces a signal of wireless network, correct?

  You want to add another AirPort Extreme to your AirPort Extreme network, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme to connect to the existing AirPort Extreme using wired, Ethernet wired, permanent, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme using the same wireless network name and password as your existing AirPort Extreme, correct?
