• provider changed vague Qwest and now one device connects to the net.  Seems to not be recognizing the airport extreme.  Patches?

  Decided to change providers.  Network domestic fine fixed by extreme airport which has been consulted by 9 apple devices and windows device.  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.  Is this a problem with my airport extreme or vague does not not with mac?  All the patches would be appreciated.

  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.

  Sounds like Installer connected your laptop directly to a modem to put in place the new connection.  If that's what happened, then the modem will recognize your laptop, but it will not recognize the AirPort Extreme, then it will appear as if only your laptop can get a connection.

  The modem and AirPort Extreme should probably be reset and then set it up again. We'll know more soon.

  Can you provide the number of brand and model of the modem that was shipped with your service?

  What operating system uses the laptop?

• Connect the Airport Extreme via Powerlink to the cable Modem

  I have problems with wifi at home as the location where the my cable modem is far from ideal. I currently connected to an Airport Extreme, which works like the router (the cable modem has the router function disabled). Attached to the AE is also a powerlink and I have an Airport Express connected to the powerlink, which has its own network.

  I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

  I'm getting a second Airport Extreme soon as well and I have several express in my house, but the problem is that my wifi is not fast at all.

  Powerlink adapters are Devolo 600 & 1200.

  Thank you

  I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

  It's always a good idea to place the 'main' AirPort router as close as possible of the area where most of the wireless devices should be used in this sense, your idea is a good thing... and in theory at least. ... .the powerline adapters allow you to do.

  However, in practice... you won't really know how well... or even if... this type of installation will work until you try you. The reason for this is there is so many different things that can affect the performance of a type of current line of the installation program.

  If you have time, there is certainly no harm in trying this type of configuration.  Post your results if you decide to try it.

• 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.

  Hello

  Network preferences may be damaged.

  Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

  Type or copy paste the following text:

  / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

  Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

  Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

  Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

  Then open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilitiies

  Make sure that both Internet and Extreme are green.

  

• The airPort Extreme has green light, but nothing can connect to it.

  My 5th generation AirPort Extreme suddenly stopped allowing all devices connect via WiFi or Ethernet. I can't see it in the AirPort Utility, I can not access it via the browser, and I've rebooted several times without success. I'm afraid, it may have just died, but I'll try to revive because while I can buy a new one, I hate the look of the new units. Any suggestions?

  Try powering down of the entire network... all devices... in any order you want

  Wait a minute

  Start the modem and let it run a few minutes

  Start the AirPort Extreme and run a full minute

  Keep a minute out one at a time until the entire network is back of boot devices

• the Airport extreme, giving a slow wifi connection

  Hello

  I've got my download speed of 200 Mbps cable company. I checked a good signal by plugging directly in he back of the Modem (to remove the photo Airport extreme wifi.) ... I have 221Mbps actually...

  However, once I'm going to plug in the Airport Extreme and text my speed on wifi, I get only between 24 Mbps or max after several trials of 54 Mbps on download... I should get just under 200 Mbit/s because of the normal fall through wifi... However, not to the extreme I loss I get...

  Tuesday Apple Support has helped me to perform a reboot of the router and I have been good to get 198Mbps... It is here 2 days later and I'm back down to 24 Mbps...

  I tried to redo the reboot: unplug the unit, hold down the reset button, then while holding down the reset button, add power on and continue now stuck until it flashes yellow... But curiously, after it flashes it goes straight to the green... (never asking me to airport utility to add a password)

  My Wifi speed stink...

  What continues with this device... anyone have recommendations?

  I already proved the cable line and the modem (with the support of motorola)...

  Thank you

  Most likely you have a faulty AirPort Extreme. Please ask Apple to replace this unit for you.

  If you wish to renew a reset, follow the instructions very carefully:

  Turning off AirPort Extreme

  Wait 7 - 8 seconds

  Hold the first reset button... and hold in an additional 7 to 8 seconds while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.

  Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention

  Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart. The light will be Orange fixed for 15-20 seconds about, then turn to flashing orange slowly after about 30 seconds

  A slow amber flashing light... about once per second... confirms that the airport has been reset and you can set it up again.

• the Airport extreme, passing the spam of the printer

  I get the impressions of regular spam on my printer connected to my Airport Extreme wireless.  Is there a way to externally control access to my printer?

  HP LaserJet 1320 <-Apple Airport Extreme <-Motorola Surfboard cable modem <-Comcast

  By default, all incoming ports on the airport base stations are closed. This printer is connected to the extreme by Ethernet or USB?

  If by USB, there is at least, a setting you can check using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the extreme and then, select change.
  • Click on the Printers tab.
  • Clear (uncheck) the option "share printers over the Internet using Hello."
  • Select Update and allow the base station restart.

  

• Internet connection Cox Cable &amp; 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.

  • Turning off AirPort Extreme for a minute or two
  • In the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme first... and keep taking them for 7 to 8 seconds... while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.  (This step is a bit complicated for most users, because it takes almost 3 hands to do it properly)
  • Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention and allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme back on the way to a slow, flashing amber light status

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• 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!

• Where can I find the Airport extreme N model number?

  Where can I find the Airport extreme N model number?

  It seems that the 3, 4, 5 are all Ns.

  I wish that my laptop wireless backup. A friend has his 5 AE do this via the usb port that is connected to a powered hub.

  Thanks for any advice.

  That's kind of how count you...

  But if your AE running 7.6.4 firmware it is Wireless N...

  A look at the base of the number. It is on the first line of molded rubber or paper label. A1408 is Gen5.

  Now for a piece of info you don't want to know.

  http://pondini.org/TM/airport.html

  Apple does not support the time machine is a model AE before last Gen6. A lot of people use it, but it can be unreliable... people have a different experience. Just to note that it is not taken in charge and reliability might be good bad or anywhere between the two... Ask yourself how useful is a backup that is not reliable.

• Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

  Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

  Someone has an idea of what's going on?

  Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

  My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

  You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

  If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

  Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

  Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?
