Installation of Airport Extreme for Motorola gateway?

I was hoping someone may be able to help me go through the steps required to configure my Airport Express base station (new) new gateway of Motorola Surfboard SBG 6580 (Cox is my ISP). My main machines are a mid 2010 21.5 "iMac under OSX 10.8.5 and a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro running OSX10.10.5

The research I did, I know that I will need to disable the features wireless on the bridge and run an ethernet cable from one of the WAN ports to the Airport express. I wonder if it's just a matter of going in my router settings and turn off the wireless, so I can just use it as a modem, or is there something else I need to turn off while I'm in these settings?

I've got also a Netgear wifi extender used in my current set up, but I hope I won't need more once I created the Airport extreme, but if I need, it would be compatible with the Airport extreme?

I'll always be able to use other ports WAN ethernet on the motorola, once the most extreme airport is set up? I ask because I currently use all 4 ports on the motorola, and the Airport extreme has only 3.

Finally, I would like to use the same name as my current wireless network, there will be no problem with that, and I'll be able to hide my network name, like I currently do? I think it's an option "do not broadcast" currently so it doesn't show up for people to scan for wireless networks

Devices that use my wifi are for most Apple products with the exception of a HTC smartphone, a stick of fire from Amazon and a smart TV.

Thanks in advance for any help/tips

Jeff

Unless you really need to disable the gateway wireless, you may configure your network easier by defining just two to a network roaming type .

However, before thinking about this, it would be useful if we understood what your networking goals are for these devices. Also, can you please give the model numbers exactly for each of your AirPort base station you want to use in your network.

  • Thinking of adding Airport Extreme for Google Fiber

    Hello world. Wanted to start a new question related to Google fiber... slightly different from the issue of Back2Mac earlier.

    I just Google fiber. House is wired throughout with CAT6. Wired connection works fine. Wireless is great, sometimes, but do not receive the beach or the consistency we want.

    Can I add an Airport Extreme, hard connected to the Google fiber network box (which is a router, "PNG" for short) and everything work well and be safe?

    There is a lot of information out there, but most are very technical and I think talking to try to take the PNG of the equation all together. I don't need or want to do. Looking to replace PNG with a wireless Airport Extreme wireless. I think that all that I have to connect the Airport Extreme to PNG by wire, set the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and "create a wireless network" and disable wireless of PNG.

    I have not bought the Airport Extreme and wouldn't bother, if it will be technically above my head. I've seen many references to static port forwarding, DMZ, IP, etc.. Are there others that should be configured to secure my installation? In addition, the activity of the network of wired and wireless devices will share work together (for example, iPhone wireless to AppleTV wired antenna)?

    Thank you and appreciate any help anyone has for a novice with little network experience!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the ports on the fibre-optic LAN <>router - port WAN "O" on the AirPort Extreme.

    Turn AirPort Extreme for a minute or two.

    Click the WiFi menu at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of new AirPort base station.

    Click on AirPort Extreme just below this list.

    Who will get the facility operational Apple "Wizard". It will take a few seconds to analyze the network, and then display a screen similar to the example below, except that you will see a picture of the AirPort Extreme.

  • Airport extreme for modem cable via an ethernet switch?

    I can connect the airport extreme to the modem cable via an ethernet switch, or must the extreme connect directly to the modem?

    The answer to your question depends on what type of "modem" cable you may have.

    If you have a simple modem, as in the example below with a single port Ethernet, your network should look like this:

    Internet > Modem > AirPort Extreme > Switch and other devices.

    If you have a modem/router, which is actually a modem and a router separate which are combined in a single package, looking for something like the example below, your network may look like this:

    Internet > Modem/Router > switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices

    or... it might look like this:

    Internet > Modem/Router > AirPort Extreme > switch and other devices

    If you do not know what kind of modem you have, post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your "modem", and we will do some checking.

  • How to configure DynDNS for camera IP with Airport Extreme?

    Hello... I recently bought an airport extreme 6th gen.

    I have an IP camera installed on my cabin, which I would like to access remotely for security reasons.

    My internet provider does not have a fixed IP address, so I need to be able to access my camera, even if my IP address changes.

    I understand that I must install a Dyn DNS, but I can't seem to set it up on my airport extreme.

    Is it possible to do?  If not, is there any IP camera on the market that is completely compatible with Airport Extreme for remote access?

    DynDNS don't think you can do this with an Airport Extreme

    https://help.dyn.com/airport-and-time-capsule-with-dynamic-DNS/>

    If you have another computer in the cabin, you can then run a DynDNS update utility on this computer.

    If not, perhaps you should consider a different router for the cabin.  You could put the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and still use it.

  • Network with Airport Extreme problems connected to the Linksys switch

    I have a wired network in my house.  It has the following configuration: Modem base station Airport Extreme for Linksys switch and then all wired connections.  It is in a wiring closet in a room upstairs.  I have 2 other extremes from the airport, to spread out of the range, but they are currently disabled and disconnected from the network until I have found why I get auto ip address on several of my wired connections.  I have reset the modem, EI and switch.  More wired connections seem to be working very well, but there are 4 or 5 who say that the ethernet cable is connected, but it can not connect to the internet because of a self assigned ip address.  I thought maybe it was a problem with the port of the switch, but when I plugged a cable work in, everything worked again.  Thus, for example, on my iMac, in a study downstairs, I had plugged on the ethernet port in the wall.  He let me only to connect to wireless internet.  He says the ethernet connection had a self assigned ip.  I went upstairs and took the cable from the switch and directly connected to the Airport Extreme, and then connect to this iMac worked fine via ethernet.  So I'm really confused as to why it does not work when it is connected to the switch.  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

    Because either you have a bad port on the switch (unlikely, but possible) or a wired Ethernet connection bad, or maybe both ends of several of the Ethernet cables (99% of the time, the problem is in the wiring or connectors Ethernet... not the switch).

    But, we must test the switch first and then work from there.  It might be much easier to call a guy from wire or the custom installation specialist to do all this for you, but if you want to give it a try... Here's how.  It is not difficult at this stage, just take some time.

    Unplug the switch except the Ethernet cable that connects the AirPort Extreme to each cable Ethernet switch.  Label each Ethernet cable with a number or a letter you can install the wires in their original position on the switch.

    Use of a laptop computer with an Ethernet port and a short, spare Ethernet cable... virtually no matter what length will make... and turn off the WiFi on the laptop so it should use Ethernet to connect to Internet.

    Test an Ethernet port on the switch with the laptop and the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have get a good Internet connection. If you do so, test the next port of the switch. Continue until all ports of the switch has been tested.  With luck, they will all work.

    If this is the case... which is likely... then you know that the Ethernet switch is working properly.

    Now things get a little more complicated. Ideally, you have documentation that tells you what Ethernet cable goes to what area of the House. If you don't, just connect the Ethernet cable to the switch... then go to the other end of the Ethernet cable to the wall outlet and connect the computer laptop and short Ethernet cable to the wall socket.

    If you have no documentation to indicate where each cable goes, so go ahead and connect all the Ethernet cables to the switch.

    Still, make sure that the wireless is disabled on the laptop so that it can only connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. Check if you can get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then you know that the individual Ethernet cable and the Ethernet port on the wall are working properly...

    Test other areas one at a time the same way.  You are very likely going to find Ethernet cables or a wall of ports that do not work properly. The hardest part here is that you... or a wire guy... will have to check the Ethernet cable at both ends to ensure that the Ethernet Sockets have been installed correctly.  It is not easy. The wires are tiny and its easy to get involved.  Installation of new Ethernet cards, it's really a job for an experienced guy who will provide hopefully a cable Tester well when it comes.

    Some Ethernet will certainly be replaced.  In rare cases, the cable itself has a break somewhere... and it's not easy to fix something like this, without pulling new cable... that would not be possible according to the House provision.

    When you know that all ports on the switch are working and all ports Ethernet wall around the House work... so... we can get the network set in place and working properly.

  • Need help with network home using Airport extreme

    I need help with my home network.  I'm not very aware when it comes to all things network.  Here's how my network is currently set up.

    Cable modem to Airport Extreme for Gigabit Switch.  Cables come out of the switch to all areas of the House.  I have 2 other extreme airport connected in other rooms of the House directly on the wall that dates back to the switch.  I hope I am explaining that properly.

    My problem is that this seems to have caused some of my connections cable does not work.  When everything is configured, it has worked well.  All connections in the House worked.  Then we have disconnected one of the extreme airport and moved to another location in the House to have the best wifi coverage.  Since that time, a lot of the ethernet wall plugs are not working.  For example, when I plug in my Macbook Pro in making ethernet in my kitchen, it says connected but it has an assigned ip address and cannot connect to the internet.

    Any help you can provide would be great.

    I would like to get the return tech to help you to...

    But it is likely that something (or someone) has tampered with the settings.

    The layout is fine... but you can cause problems with the network by creating a loop.

    This can happen because the AE you moved is connected wrongly... somewhere in the network it is connected to the switch again.

    Or AE is set to expand wireless... It's FAKE... It will loop the network on the back main EI wireless.

    Unplug the two AE you have that function as extensions...

    Turning off everything else... then it works again...

    Do it in this order.

    Modem... Wait 2 min

    AE... Wait 2 min

    Switch.

    Now check that the network is working properly... power of customers in various locations and make sure everything is good.

    If so, then manually reset the two AE of factory and redo their installation.

  • Airport Extreme REPLACE Comcast xfinity box of fact?

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, do I put up to REPLACE my current Comcast xfinity box (coax in, ethernet Mac, wifi for iPhones) or it is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Any advice?

    Thank you very much

    George

    If I buy an Airport Extreme, I put up to REPLACE my existing Comcast xfinity box (coax in)

    No, since AirPort Extreme is not a modem... it has no co - ax entered... it's a router only.

    It is somehow more the existing box (Arris Touchstone TG862 telephony gateway).

    Yes, but there is really no reason to add an AirPort Extreme, since your gateway is actually a modem and router within a single package. If you add the AirPort Extreme, you will have a modem and two routers... probably something you need not... unless you need more wireless networks.

    I have trouble with my mapping ProAnalyst 6.4.7 program which receives market data in real time, but it displays incorrectly.  The developer of graphics program says: I'm the only one in the USA with this problem, so if I can replace the entire box of Comcast Arris, it might just solve the case.

    Adding an AirPort Extreme to your gateway will not solve this problem.  Maybe a different model or brand of gateway that could solve the problem. You must check with Comcast on this possibility.

  • 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.

  • Wake on LAN - AirPort Extreme

    I'm trying to configure the Wake on LAN for my AirPort Extreme and Windows 7 PC, reboot with my iPad.  It works fine when the iPad is on the local network, but no power on the PC when I'm not on my network domestic.  I put airport to the port before 9 to the PC as directed, and made sure the PC has been configured to accept magic packets.  Any help?

    Apple wake on lan system is different... and there is a good chance the router from Apple not go to work.

    The best and easiest around the issue is to install a different router... and use airport extreme for the wireless. Make sure the PC is connected to the main router although no airport.

  • 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 Extreme network 4G connection

    I currently have the following configuration for my internet appliances:

    I have an Airport Extreme unit serving wireless three units Airport Express to extend WiFi coverage throughout the House. Physically connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet are two televisions Panasonic who can access the same places predetermined via the internet (for example, BigPond movies and television, People, ABC iView, SBS OnDemand). To enable connectivity to other sites such as Netflix, Stan etc every Panasonic TV has its own unit of Apple TV connected to Airport Extreme via WiFi.

    I use Airport Extreme for all my other internal needs such as web connectivity MacBook and iPhone.

    The Airport Extreme WAN port is so physically connected to the ADSL modem and line phone Telstra for the Exchange, which is about 4 km.

    The problem is that the speed of download of the ADSL 2 + are poor, maxing out at about 3.5mbps. When I listen to the live broadcast of MotoGP and World Superbike racing the picture often freezes while he puts in buffer. Watched movies via Netflix and Stan often freezes too.

    I just ran a speed test on the Telstra Mobile 4 G network and I got a download speed of 111.94Mbps 41.77Mbps upload speed.

    Now, I'm thinking it would be great if I could connect my home network to the internet via their WiFi 4 G device X Pro Advanced.

    My question is this:

    Is it possible to connect the Airport Extreme to the Telstra WiFi 4 G device and the use of the mobile network for my internet and get rid of the ADSL modem? I don't think I can use USB Extreme airport connection, I think that the port is only to connect a printer, but I do not know if the Airport Extreme talk wireless Telstra 4 G device. Documentation of Telstra said their device will connect up to 10 devices using WiFi, but I do not know if there would be problems with the Airport Extreme router to talk to her.

    After spending heaps on all these units of Apple (1 x Airport Extreme) and 3 x Airport Express I don't want to lose, but if there is no way to Airport Extreme wireless unit of Telstra (or if this method is ridiculous) so maybe I might be able to get the device of Telstra to talk to all my other WiFi devices directly. Then, I might be able to sell the extreme and expresses it.

    I had a discussion with Apple Support through their chat session, but the person with which I spoke was not able to help.

    Thanks in advance.

    You need a device that is able to connect via Ethernet to the AirPort Extreme base station.

    With a plain/direct USB 4 G modem, a router broadband mobile sometimes can act in Bridge mode and thus provide a conversion method. For example, Dovado has these routers, but their modem (http://www.dovado.com/en/support/modems) compatibility list appears to cite that a single Telstra USB 4 G modem (ZTE) which supports the mode bridge.

    Your question indicates, however, that the 4G modem is actually a mobile access point (providing a local Wi - Fi network). If so, it may or may not be possible to use the wireless Ethernet Bridge (maybe even a model of Apple AirPort Express appropriate) to join this hotspot wireless and then connect via Ethernet to the entrance of the AirPort Extreme. This is all experimental, however. Various problems, including double NAT, are to be expected.

  • Airport extreme - 6753 error

    I had this airport extreme for several years and could access the utility via my PC without ever a problem. I had updated a port forwarding for a security system, and then set a NAT address when he created the error. Now I can't access the utility without the error. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, but without knowing exactly what you did, it would be difficult to help you with a solution.

    Let's start with what exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? What is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have connected him directly by Ethernet? Is the "security system" a firewall machine dedicated? If Yes, what brand and model?

    By "set a NAT address" are you referring to the definition of the local IP address for Port Mapping?

  • Airport Extreme loses the connection to the home network

    I have an Airport Extreme (AE) with Cox Internet in my house. Version AE 7.6.7 since the end of may 2016, I lost WiFi connection radomly. I had a Cox technician out who finished just change a 'filter' in our neighborhood who feed on other Cox at the reception. He said this analog filter had to be upgraded to a digital filter.  Despite this, my WiFi kept down again. According to other Threads of the community, this problem was solved by putting the IPV6 in AE parameter for "link-local only.  I did this and still it is falling.

    According to a recent post in support of Cox:

    Most of the routers to retail, especially those produced in recent years, are completely compatible with IPv6. Cox has determined that the Apple AirPort Extreme routers, including Time Capsule models, may know Internet connectivity issues when running the firmware released before May 25, 2016. For more information, contact Apple Support.

    To a Moderator: Apple will have an AE update for this problem?

    The moderators of the forum are not questions on a user to user support forum, so don't expect a response from an Apple employee.  Please contact Apple Support directly if you wish to speak directly with Apple.

    Then, Apple has already released the new firmware... 7.6.7 May 25... so it's not the question that you reference in the statement on the website of Cox. Cox was referring to a firmware sooner, like 7.6.4, for example in their declaration.

    We have seen a number of messages from other users of Cox, who reported that the new firmware has resolved connection issues that existed before.

    To find out where the real problem may lie, I suggest that you connect a computer (with the wireless turned off) directly to one of the LAN ports <>- on AirPort Extreme for a few days and keep an eye on the connection.

    Post back your results. Then, we'll know if you have a general Internet... connection problem that could be a problem of modem... or a single wireless issue.  In all cases, it will help if you provide the model number of the AirPort Extreme you have... and... he make and model number of the modem you are using at the moment.
