• 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?

• 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 7,7,7 drop connection and internet high speed

  My Airport Extreme (6th generation) have had the serious problems of the internet, as said in the title I had problems with my internet connection, I checked if that was the problem of the modem to the beginning (D3.0 Ubee) which was provided by my Internet, Charter provider.

  I've had Airport Extreme for almost a year to 2 years now and since then, I had no problem with my internet until 7.7.7 update came.

  I updated my firmware and this is where my random internet connection problem started.

  My current contract with the Charter are their 60 Mbps (download speed) and 4 Mbps (download speed), during the first days since I've updated 7.7.7 connections was fine and then my internet has started to decline since a means 50-60 Mbps (download speed) to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed), my download speed has remained a constant 3-4 MB/s (download speed). I have tried and used Opendns several times, he really did nothing.

  I tried to turn off both modem and Airport extreme for a couple of minutes and turn on their return, but he does nothing and just refers to an extremely slow speed.

  The only way I found to fix my problem to get my internet to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed) back to its original state, I find myself to be a restore return settings on the Airport Extreme with my Airport utility by default whenever the problem returns (which contributes to a certain degree as it gets my back up to 50 internet-60 MB/s) then he drops down again).

  I wanted to restore to 7.7.6 or the latest version of previous firmware before 7.7.7 (not too sure what version of firmware, it was) but I can't find how to spend my Airport extreme to my Airport utility.

  My question is what could I do to fix this problem if the decommissioning of my extreme (I need instructions with this too), change some settings, get rid of the * thing and get a new router, or am I stuck resetting to the parameter by default whenever she acts upward.

  I use windows 10 for my laptop

  Thank you for your time

  Unfortunately, the first question that you encountered is the AirPort for Windows utility has not been updated since Windows 7. In addition, it is not supported for use with the 802.11ac latest versions of airport base stations. Then downgrade to earlier versions of the firmware for base station can be difficult, unless you can get hold of a Mac or iOS device.

  If you are ready to test Windows 10, here are the steps to do:

  • Open the AirPort for Windows utility.
  • Select the base and then station in the utility menu bar, select the access point > Download Firmware...
  • Click on the Download Version dialog box, where the current version of the firmware is listed.
  • You should now see a list of the firmware versions that are available.
  • Click on the one you want to get off at.
  • Choose either 'continue' to continue with the downgrade, OR click 'Cancel' If you decide not to do so.
  • If you choose to continue, allow the firmware to be downloaded, installed and the base station to turn.

• Loading slow web page and with Airport Extreme connection speeds

  About 5 days ago, I noticed a significant slow down the loading of web pages. In some cases, I see a blank white screen for up to a minute before the page is loaded. In others, the page never loads at all. And sometimes they load very quickly as expected. This happens with my iMac that is connected to a router via ethernet, as well as my Macbook Air connected via Wifi to Airport Extreme.

  I have a high-speed internet connection by cable Comcast/Xfinity: Blast 250Mbps.

  I tried to connect my iMac directly on the model of cable (Arris Surfboard SB6183), and there is no problem. Download speed was 30Mbps 300Mbps and upload.

  Then, I plugged my Airport Extreme router again and connected the iMac to the router via Ethernet. Download speed dropped to 100 Mbps!

  This suggests that the problem may be with the Airport Express. It is not a wireless problem, because as you can see the download speed went from 300Mbp/s connected directly to the model 100 Mbps when connected to the Airport Extreme.

  How do I troubleshoot/fix this?

  One last thing: I did a speed test with my Macbook Air that is connected via Wifi and the Airport Extreme router. Download speed dropped to 35 MB/s.

  Direct connection to the modem is so very fast, suggesting the internet connection Comcast isn't the issue. Speed falls even with ethernet to the Airport Extreme router connection, then decreases even more with the Wifi connection.

• Airport Extreme dislike gigabit speed

  I'm having a strange problem. Backstory... I have an older Ooma VoIP device. It works very well.  The connection is Modem > Ooma > router - my modem (ARRIS Surfboard SB6141) and I use Airport Extreme. When the devices are connected as indicated everything works fine. The modem has a 'connection' light which is orange with this configuration. According to the manual of the modem, this light indicates Ethernet (10Base-T) or Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) is running.  When I remove the Ooma system and connect the modem directly to the router, the yellow led lights up blue saying that the signal that the modem sends is now a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T).  Sounds great, but my router then ceases to broadcast and distribute a signal, directly and without wire connected with a cat6 cable.

  You could say, then leave him alone and I can do, but I'm willing to reconfigure my system with updated Ooma device, and causes my modem from orange to blue, thus losing my Wi - Fi.  I talked to Arris (modem does not work as expected), I talked to Ooma (if the signal is working on their device, they see not the problem). So that the leaves of the router.  Can anyone figure out what's going on? Why did I lose my signal when I go directly from the modem to the router when the speed seems to be better?  (Yes, I restart both modem and router in the right order).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  David

  It seems that your Ooma device only supports (up to) 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. On the other hand, does your AirPort Extreme support 1 Gbps Ethernet.

  The reason why you can be make connectivity issues when connecting your Arris modem to an extreme that is there has been many positions related to this. Specifically and the problem of incompatibility between the SB61XX series modems and airport base stations. This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical complaints is poor, transfer rate, and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. Replace the Arris modem with another modem series of non-SB61XX. If you plan to go this route, you must select a modem recommended by your ISP.
  2. Replace your extreme with a non-Apple router.

• Is this Airport Extreme or cable provider?

  I have an IMAC (latest updates installed), an Airport Extreme (firmware updated this week) and use our local cable provider.  Suddenly lost all internet including wifi access.  Cable called - I was told it was an ipv4 vs ipv6 problem because of the Apple; has got the job of system - and then down the next day.  This happens every day; again picked up modem and installed.  Same question - every day, it works fine for a while, then the drops - no internet or wifi. must restart the modem and reset Airport. Apple called twice.  First call - no correction.  Called cable - a disconnect me the airport.  Internet worked all night.  Wait until tonight to see if it continues to operate.  I was told to work for 24 hours, the problem is the most convenient airport.

  Any comments?  Suggestions?

  Open Airport utility, select your Airport Extreme, sign in and then go to the Internet tab, click the Advanced Options button. Change the Configuration IPv6: link -local only. Update the Airport Extreme. Monitor your connection time to see if that solves your problem.

  You don't mention your ISP. Mine is Cox, and they seem to have their IPv6 implementation issues. Do the above stablizes my connection. If all goes well, it will also help you.

• The Airport Extreme has download slow unless its an apple product

  I need help.  I have an Airport Extreme router.  I run a HP all in one office, two smart TV, Wii and two boxes on my router.  Not all work at the same time, nor do two pass at the same time.

  I check my router on Mac speed: 100 Mbit/s easy.  I check my iphone: 100 Mbps.  I checked the HP desktop computer: 30-50 Mbps.  I haven't checked the Wii, Smart TVs do not open always Netflix, my boxes go slow and buffer for long periods of time.

  There must be a setting that does not allow non-Apple products to run more slowly.  I pay 100 Mbps and expect to receive 100 Mbps on the Airport Extreme for all products, not just Apple products.

  What I could try or have I missed that should be done so all non-Apple products get the speed of download and Apple products?

  I called support and they had me change the channels in the configuration of the Airport Extreme wireless.  That did not help.  I changed them back and now the iPhone runs slower, below 50 Mbps upload when you fill out a speed test on www.speedtest.com.  I'm sitting in the same place.  It makes no sense at all.

• My Airport Extreme is connected to a cable modem from Arris Surfboard, overtime, I try to set up it tells me that I am not connected to the Internet if I use a router TP - Link AC1750 can I connect is not my ISP. What I am doing wrong?

  I followed the instructions on how to set up my Airport Extreme, but he says that I am not connected to the internet.

  I can connect with a wireless router TP-Link is not a problem with my service provider. I want to connect with my Airport Extreme.

  What I am doing wrong?

  What exact model of the modem Arris do you have? Is your service provider Internet Cox, by chance?

• Airport Extreme and Cox Internet IPv6 problem

  This is one notification to others as well as a question:

  I have Cox Cable high speed Internet in several places using an Airport Extreme 3 GB connected as a router to the modem cable Cox.

  For more than a week, we would find regularly in the morning that the outside connection to internet DNS servers were lost.  We called Cox several times and they have done the usual reset of the router and the modem and things seem to work for some time.  But the next day again.

  They came out and replaced the connections, I I had to buy a new cable modem and I replaced a digital switch.  Every time things seem to work for some time.

  I thought to replace the Airport Extreme (I read others did in a similar situation without result).

  After much frustration, I started looking for Airport Extreme and DNS and found similar stories.

  After that several unproductive calls with Cox Internet of first level support, I finally reached a level which acknowledged that Cox was the IPv6 deployment and he was having a problem with Airport Extreme routers.  They said Apple was working on it and gave me a number to call for support from router from apple.  Unfortunately the number they gave was no longer valid.

  I persisted and finally got the Apple support and indeed they knew the problem and said Cox was working on that... But there was a temporary problem - and that was to disable iPv6 on the airport extreme (more precisely (internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only).)

  For now it seems to have stopped the decline during the night which seems to happen between 12:00 and 02:00.  By experience, I do not think that its really a problem of compaibility IPV6, but how the router meets some kind of rebate to zero/test signal signal service is done in early morning.

  So the question is - does anyone know with certainty what happens or who really works on this.  From my point of view, both sides think it's the other problem.  BTW - I've read about other people with Non Apple routers running after something similar.

  GABarber,

  I also had a similar problem.  Prior service of Cox Communications in Phoenix AZ has been rescinded and recently restored (March 1) yesterday afternoon.  After the departure of the technician, the wi - fi failed to produce a valid connection, citing DNS error and no response from the server.  We have a new modem, CISCO, at an Air Port/Time Capsule 2 TB ethernet cable.

  After talking with support for level 2 level 1 and then Cox, there was sufficient evidence for a correct signal via the modem, but the Port of the Air was not picking up or he issued (by Cox).  Check my Air Port Utility apps on iMac and iPhone shows a signal Internet or Air Port casual, but never the two together.  The modem and the Air Port so would show appropriate green led lights up, but in vain to work wi - fi.

  The only thing that has worked so far is your solution listed above: Air Port utility > Internet > Internet Options > configure Ipv6: link-Local only.

  Thank you, GABarber.

• RV042 causing 10 X reduction in the internet download speed?

  I have a rv042 router that is used for the base and internet telephone VOIP (without VPN).  I have recently started having poor quality phone and called my internet provider to help diagnose the problem.  He noticed that when my computer is connected directly to the modem, the download speeds are about 3-4 Mbps.  However, when connect us the modem to the RV042, then my computer download speeds drop to all 0.3Mbps.  I am under the version of the firmware 1.3.12.19 and SPI and Multicast disabled.  Is that what sounds like the router is defective and the time to buy something new?  Or the window, I could simply have something strange that might lead to a reduction of X 10 download speeds? 1.3.12.19 - tm Firmware Version: 1.3.12.19 - tm Firmware Version: 1.3.12.19 - tm

  Hey Marc, try disabling SPI function on the firewall.  It inspects all packets through the firewall and performance is reduced.  Another thing you can do is go to the bandwidth under the management of the system and set the download and upload manually to what your ISP gives you.
  

• AirPort Extreme AirPort Extreme extension causes a loss of the internet

  I extend an existing AirPort Extreme of 5th generation (a year or so old) with a new one. When I connect a new one for the network and power, airport utility sees the two airports and asks me if I want to extend the existing one. I clicked on extend and every thing seems to be well - within the parameters, he said that the new airport will extend the existing wireless network. Unfortunately this seemed to cause my modem to lose its connection to the Internet. I have reset the modem a few times, but it wasn't until I disconnected and "forgot" to the new base station that I was able to retrieve internet. Previously, I had an airport model more old where I was trying to find a new one, but it had its own wireless network, which is kind of a pain. I would really like to have just a single network for both airports.  Is this possible or do I. To keep them separate?

  Thank you for any help or advice.

  If you spread by wireless, you can't have the extreme new plugged in by ethernet.

  If you do not want to extend wired you don't use wireless extension... you use create a wireless network with the same SSID (name Apple Wireless speaks) and the same password.

  Please give us more information.

  What is the brand and model of the main modem?

  Is this also a router? How the most extreme main airport is connected to the network?

  This mode is in there... router or gateway?

  Please take a few screenshots of the existing configuration using airport utility to show how the current airport is the installation program. We can then tell you the right way to connect the new airport.

  Just to be clear is the New Extreme a nine Gen6... or you want to say you have an another Gen5. The Gen6 is now more than 3 years on the market... No gen5 were therefore sold for 3 years.

  Are mix you models?

• Airport utility: green points on the AirPort Extreme & Internet; Mini Mac does not connect to the internet.

  Airport utility shows green points on the AirPort Extreme and the Internet, but my my Mac mini does not connect to the internet. IPhones and 2 portable Windows connect very well, and see all the devices on the home network. The problem occurred after that PSI has swapped an ancient for a Comtrend CT5072T DSL modem. I tried to stop and things start back up as if the installation of the internet for the first time. No joy.

  The airport connects using DHCP in Bridge Mode

  The router address is 192.168.80.1

  Address IPv4 is 192.168.80.2

  DNS server is the same as the router, but grayed out

  Mac Mini IPv4 Address is 192.168.80.3

  IPv6 automatically configures

  Also updated the firmware of the airport; no change.

  ISP guy was friendly but puzzled. He started at the top floor level Tech, so I do not know when I hear back.

  Any ideas to fix?

  Thank you.

• Internet connection Cox Cable & Airport Extreme

  I had the last three or four months a problem with Internet cable fall suddenly. All the lights on the modem cable have no problem with the modem. The Airport Extreme base station has a green light, as well. I have to keep resetting the modem cable 3 - 4 times a day. The ISP is Cox Cable.

  It affects all the iPhone, phone Android, iPad and other Apple computer, we have. All lose connectivity at the same time. If I connect to the Mac mini directly to the modem cable by the cable network the internet connection gets dropped without using the WiFi network.

  1 does anyone know conflicts between modems Motorola and Apple Airport Extreme networks?

  2. what else can I check or try to fix it?

  Airport Extreme: How would I test for a problem with the unit master of AE? The only thing I can think to do is reconfigure AE units and using one of the older AE devices as master and see if that makes a difference, but it's a headache to do if there is an easier way.

  Our WiFi network consists of a base station Airport Extreme 802.11ac with two base stations older AE acting as slaves to the base ac station to expand the network throughout the House. All base stations are running the latest firmware from Apple (7.7.3 & 7.6.4 on two more former slaves). The light remained green for disconnects. We have previously disabled IPv6 in Airport utility on the base station to avoid potential conflicts with the Cox' months before the start of this issue of network.

  Cable modem: Motorola MB 7420 - Cox says he could be the modem, so I bought a new modem cable Motorola MB7420 to replace the former Motorola cable modem - always have the same reduced connection problems. The cable modem shows any change in status or lights during connections has dropped, but only reset the cable modem seems to fix the problem. The two modems are not any lights/status change, but there is no internet connection, even if a computer is connected directly to the cable modem once the connection is released. I kept it connected and had it remove the connection to the internet again after resetting the modem (hours between the drops).

  I tried to connect a computer directly to the modem cable with a network cable and had the same problem, so I thought that I had deviated from the Airport Extreme base station as the problem. Now Cox claims that something came out last week, discussing the problems with Apple routers and cable modems or their network. I can't find anything, but they are supposed to send me information later.

  Coaxial connection: Cox is not finding any disconnection or time in their voting for our modem registers. We had three times to check the lines as he first seemed extremely windy Cox and had a problem before with problems connecting to the pole. Who was waived. They tested the connection between the pole and the cable modem, and we get a signal strong; some problems on the survey for our modem logs (every two hours). There is no water in the connections between the pole and the House. We have checked all the connections of the coaxial cable between the outer box and the cable modem. Cox is to revisit all connections around our House to see if they can find no evidence of a problem upstream or downstream from our part.

  Network cables: I replaced network between the cable modem and AE cables as well as AE to a computer next to him - no change.

  1 does anyone know conflicts between modems Motorola and Apple Airport Extreme networks?

  There are at least two known issues with Cox here on Apple's Support communities:

  1. Cox started the IPv6 role. The current workaround is to configure your AirPort base stations to use IPv6: link-local only.
  2. The series of Arris/Motorola SB61XX modem is incompatible with 802.11ac AirPort base stations (potentially, 802.11n models as well.) This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. I have not heard of all reports on the series of MB74XX... so maybe it's not the question on this point.

  To test the incompatibility, check the ARP cache. It must contain only around a dozen entries. Considerably more could possibly indicate a problem.

  To change the IPv6 configures your airport most convenient base stations you use AirPort Utility, as follows:

  From a Mac:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • Select the Internet tab and then, select Internet Options...
  • Change the IPv6 configuration to: link-local only
  • Click on save and then click Update.
  • Allow the base station restart.
  • Do this for each of your base stations.

  Starting from an iOS device:

  • Tap the AirPort Utility to run it.
  • Select the base station.
  • Press Edit.
  • Tap advanced.
  • Tap on IPv6.
  • Change the IPv6 configuration to: link-local only
  • Type actually.
