IPv6 and AirPort Extreme Gen 5 connection drops

• 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.

• I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

  I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

  Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

  Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

  Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

  Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

  After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

  Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

  Set up AirPort Extreme again

  Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

• If 2 Airport extreme can stay connected to each other using their LAN ports?

  Hello friends,

  I would like to know if 2 Airport extreme or 1 Airport Extreme and Airport Express can stay connected to each other using LAN ports at the ends? I thought this is the LAN port 1 connected to the WAN port on the 2nd.

  Thank you

  To clarify the issue and the scenario, one of my friend described a typical scenario in which there are 2 AEs. AE1 has an ISP in its port WAN and AE2 has a different ISP in its WAN port. This 2 AE can mutually connected between them by using ports LAN AE1 and AE2 ethernet cable? He said this could be feasible if AE2 remained in bridged mode, without using the ISP attached to its WAN port. I just don't get how this is possible. Friends of the search help.

  Thank you

• Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

  Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

  However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

  So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

  The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

  When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

  Thank you.

  Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

  When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

  If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

  You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

  Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

  How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

  If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

  This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.

• Internet connection with Windows XP, SP3 and Airport Extreme - the status is always "absorbing network address.

  My Airport Extreme connected my IMac immediately, but I am not able to connect on the side PC. Airport utility does not 'no matter what Airport wireless devices". When you check the status of the internet connection with PC tools, the correct network is indicated and shows an excellent signal strength. The status is: "absorbing the network address. However, nothing happens.

  Under 'Repair the wireless network connection', it shows, "Windows is taking the following steps: your IP address renewal" even once, nothing happens.

  Under hardware I show Atheros Wireless Network Adapter and the mention: "this device works correctly.

  Yet, no network connection. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).

  You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

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

  Wi - Fi in general.

  These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

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

  The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).

  If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

  Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

  Description is the data of the card making.

  The physical address is MAC of the card number.

  The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

  YY should be between 0 and 255

  ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

  The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

  * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

  Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

  Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

  If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

• Internet connection with XP Pro SP3 and Airport Extreme - possible only Internet with no secruity, WEP - "status is always acquiring network address.

  IMac seen the router and connected flawlessly, Sony Vaio however under secruity always gives me "absorbing the network address", I was looking around and heard xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2 so I changed the settings for wep on apple Airport extreme and it STILL does not work. If I have no secruity that it picks up the signal from the internet and everything is fine. I tried to update the drivers for the wireless LAN card already, any input would be great

  SOLVED... apparently xp pro sp3 has problems with wpa2, it refuses to connect. I went to settings on extreme airport secruity but wep was not an option, I had to click on OPTION on my MAC keyboard, then click the settings secruity and wep is there, so I removed all the "preferred networks" and restarted the process 'learning' on the vaio and everything's fine. Thanks for all the help, I can get some rest tonight

• HP C4780 and Airport Extreme: says "device not connected" when installing wireless

  Hello.  I appreciate any help with this problem.  I searched but I've not found anything exactly similar.  I have a MacBook Pro under OSX 10.5.8 and an Airport Extreme.  I am trying to set up a HP C4780 printer using the HP installation software.  The printer is connected to the Mac via a USB cable for Setup, and all the steps of the Setup routine recognized the printer.  Until... when I get to the part "network wireless configuration" of the process, Setup HP sees my network (802.11n, the type of encryption WPA_PSK) and asks for my password.  After I entered the pw, it runs for about 20 seconds and gives me the following message: "device not connected.  To configure the network settings for the device selected, please temporarily connect via USB. The device can be disconnected from the USB once the network settings are transferred. »

  My printer is well connected by USB, however.  By reading some similar positions, I tried the following: limit the wireless to channell 11, by clicking on the button "allow this network be extended" and disconnect the printer before the launch of wireless setup.  I also tried several bottles of beer, but which only degrades the connection between the keyboard and the seat.  No luck so far.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  C4700 series has a bug in the firmware where it crashes when meeting a SSID of 6 characters.

  Change your SSID to 10 or 12 characters until a firmware fix is published.

  If this does not work, drink more beer.

• 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.

• 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.

• Extension of WiFi using the Virgin Super Hub and Airport Extreme

  I am trying to expand the network so that I get better WiFi in another area of the House.  I have set up a unit of the Airport Extreme (AE) and through the Airport utility, I see that it is picking up the WiFi network and get the green light.  When I click on the device in Airport Utility (AU) to check the information of the AE is indicating that it is on the WiFi network and the right connection.   None of my devices (iPadAir 2 and iPhone 5) are picking up the WiFi Signal.  However, when I click on change EI is indicating a Base Station.  So clicking on wireless and network Mode, then click on extend a wireless network by clicking on update of the unit could not leave the stand mode.   Very strange!

  Routers Apple do not work as universal repeaters... they extend ONLY other airports.

  You can't do what you want. You MUST connect the extreme by ethernet on the Super Hub... or use adapters EOP.

• BDP-S570 and airport extreme

  Hello! Just hooked up my new player and can't join my wi - fi network. I have an Apple Airport Extreme (1st edition, 802. 11 g). The blu - ray player sees the end network, good signal strength, but when I put my password it says "the number of characters is invalid. Please check your entry and try again. »

  I use the same password I use to access the network on my computers, iPod touch etc. He uses it's WEP security protocol. ISP is Comcast, have the modem to bike and airport base station.

• WD My Book and Airport Extreme

  Hello

  I'm having a problem using a new WD My Book with Airport Extreme. I was able to format in Mac OS extended (journaled). If connect directly to my iMac (Yosemite) is mounted and time machine asks if I want to use it as a backup drive. However, when I connect it directly to the AE (USB), its not listed as an option of disc in time machine. I can also see it as a drive under the Airport utility. I want to use it with multiple Macs, so leave it connected to a machine is not an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  

  

  What version is your AE? Apple it activated only on the last Gen6.

  First, mount the drive in finder...

  Click on EI in the Finder and see if you can mount the drive.

  What OS you run because this changed to El Capo... worse of course.

• Mitsubishi ductless AC / MiniSplit KUMO CLOUD and Airport Extreme...

  Mitsubishi just came out with an 'easy' solution to allow remote access and control of your system from mitsubishi with your iphone or android...

  Unfortunately it can only connect to a router or wireless access point that has the "WPS" button on it.

  Airport Extreme supports the WPS feature at all?

  This is a link to the datasheet...

  http://USA.mylinkdrive.com/uploads/documents/5288/document/PAC-WHS01WF-E_Product _Data_Sheet.pdf

  I ordered the remote to install myself but try to align my 'how to' if I have an airport extreme.

  Or if I find a lower tech router with WPS function...

  Please note that Mitsubishi has chosen to compromise your network by using and encouraging a method of broken security (WPS) for their cloud of Kumo controller wireless.

  https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup

  So for those who are interested in remote access to your unit ductless... beware.

  I am waiting for an official response from Mitsubishi, but I have little hope that they're going to fix anything.

• What should I wear to the front with ATT and Airport Extreme?

  I have AT & T Uverse with an Airport Extreme.

  EI is implemented as a bridge, because it wouldn't work otherwise.

  I went into the game/NAT on the router/modem ATT layout and tried to activate some ports to forward.  Then I check the port and find that it is always closed.

  Someone here would be able to offer assistance with problems?

  I do this to try to send large files to a friend VIA files torrent based, although it does not seem to allow me to seed.

  Before ATT I got time warner and my own modem and router combo, and it works wonderfully in this configuration, so I can only the assertion that the issue is somewhere in the new place from the material.

  Now, if I try to download a standard torrent, I have no problem, but try to make my own with the trackers who have worked before, there is no dice.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  ATT system is the NVG599 of ARRIS
