• Please help me with my Apple Airport Extreme

  Aabout 2 weeks ago, we had a storm really come through the East Texas up to this point my router was working fine. The first week, I called and my ISP said that we had a power outage in the area and I thought that I thought this would happen so I waited a week so that they could get that clears up and the fact that I was always getting internet was slow, but I was still getting service.  Next week I continues to check the speed of the internet, and it was still slow so I called the ISP and they said everything was good at the end there are so I hooked my book mac ylthe modem and tested it and I was getting high speed but when I connected it to my router it was lamentable, once again. Now, here's where it gets weird in the morning as around 05:00, I get great service, but when I come home it's crap. I called apple and talked to technical support and just tried what they suggested that they sent me a replacement and it does the same thing, I am at a loss and do not know what could do this I changed the network name where only my Mac has been on the network and no dice. I put in Bridge mode with Mac connected directly to the airport and he did good but as soon as it went wireless was not good! So guys and girls I know this is a long post and it is typed on my iPhone but do I just go and buy a new router or I can save this one, because I don't really like it. Thanks for your help, sincerely Josh

  We need more details.

  Who is your ISP? Cox in particular is having problems with IPv6. There is a long thread to here about it.

  This modem do you have?

  You can test the direct connection to the modem after you come home and give us the real speed test. Then, put the airport back and test again... show the actual speed.

  Even in the morning when the airport looks ok.

• GPON with Apple airports, no internet access.

  Hello. I use airport time capsule/extreme 5th and 6th generation and huawei gpon terminal hg8310h. I got to the base station of configuration in dhcp mode and green light is ok, but not internet access.

  My ISP tells me that there is problem with Apple base stations. Unfortunately in google there are very little information on the airports and the gpon. I tried to reset the base station and etc. There is no success. Anyone know if there is such a problem with gpon technology and Apple base stations? Or maybe I'm looking for something different?

  Fiber type systems may have problems with the apple airports. It is difficult to explain, and you must provide us with a screenshot of the wan port real on the AE or TC you used.

  This issue will be generally visible that the ISP has given you a gateway which is not in the primary IP address subnet. If that makes no sense to post you the screenshot... but you should NOT change anything... Let's see your public IP address but also for a long time that it is dynamic and not static, it won't matter. Your IP address will change in 24 hours.

  I posted this kind of thing before. Nothing shows up well in google that is useful though.

  Ask your ISP... are they using IPv6 as it can always be a problem and the exact settings on the router are not clear for us... If IPv4 still make sure your getting a public routable address... Not all ISPS now provide public addresses.

  My Apple routers have never worked on my broadband as the main router... It is not the same issue... but it is something that apple clearly knows the impact is too small so that they care. If they exposed more controls, then we could solve this... but Apple phased out the controls. And even in the operating system most recent continues to remove them. My advice is very simple. Get a different router. At least until Apple take this seriously you won't be able to fix. And the ISP sounds like they are aware of the problem, but will not be useful either, because it is probably the only apple routers that have this problem. Conclusion... buy a compatible router.

  Use your apple routers in bridge for wireless and backups etc...

  You can even use them in a configuration a bit more complex, called static IP address... I use with another router.

  For now, you probably have no choice... but give me the info that I asked, and we can work out where the problem is.

• Problem with SlingTV through Airport Extreme?

  I have a Motorola SB6141 cable modem, internet of Time Warner and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (later) for my setup. While SlingTV is not a great service, it was $ 20 a month and gave me what I need and has been much better than that Time Warner was in charge me for the same channels.

  Despite the problems of freezing SlingTVs or what not, for a while it worked. But one day a few months back it just stopped working. When you open the app, it either does not open or just turns and turns to be forgotten and never access the content. But if I try on my phone (Verizon LTE), or another network outside my apartment with the iPad or computer laptop, it works. So at home, I tried to go directly from the cable modem and right in the Apple TV (previously an Xbox) and when I do that it works. So really what it boils down to, is my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station router. If I'm either directly connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station (Apple TV ethernet to the router), it will not work, or if I use WiFi via the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station it will not work. But directly to the modem cable or on any network outside of my home, the service works.

  So in short, something about setting up Apple isn't allowing the Sling TV app to open or work on any device. I even did a rest of the plant and installing my Apple router once again, and the same problem persists.

  FYI - I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and all the Apple TV, TV shows, rental movies and content without ever having a problem with opening or streaming. This only happens with SlingTV when you try to access content on any device (iPad, Apple TV, Xbox One, iPhone, Macbook Air) via WiFi or Ethernet via Apple Airport Extreme.

  I tried to provide all the little details that I could. If someone could please provide a solution I would really really appreciate it! Thank you.

  Well first of all try to port forwarding. Slingbox I guess would use a similar to SlingTV montage... Unfortunately when I google for it I see just people having so many questions like you... no rigging, no answer they give up.

  It is the old airport of model, but the idea is correct.

  If you still have questions... There is a major problem... port 5001 is used by the airport for its installation...

  If I run a scan of port of network utility, that you will find that it is already used.

  Port scan started...

  Host port scan: 192.168.2.201

  Open TCP Port: 5001 commplex-link

  Open TCP Port: 5009 winfs

  Port scan has completed...

  My recommendation is to replace the airport as your main router... Something good market like the C5 TP-Link or the WR1043ND which is less than $50US. These routers use UPNP is missing on the airport. Continue to use the airport for your customers to apple as WAP and switch.

  BTW: this is no bad thing because you also have a known problematic modem... SB6121 and SB6141 have major problems... do a quick search and you can find a lot of posts about this.

  TWC has also now use IPv6... that can ruin.

  See the instructions for installation (same as comcast for TWC).

• Can I do the router uses an older Protocol of WIFI (WEP) with Lion?

  A colleague who I am to help got a new router, which wwas pre configured by the provider.

  Lions (Lions of Montain) on MacBook Air can connect to the Internet easily around my iOS 9 mobile (personal "hot spot").

  My 9 immediately connected iOS devices.   Although older OSX (Lion? ML?, I don't know with certainty at this time) does not work.

  They see the net in the most convenient airport and can fill in the PW and the 'antennas' in the menu shows good connection, although Mail and Safari (only available applications) report: no connection to the Internet.

  Perhaps the kind of connection is newer legacy systems can in itself.

  Can I do the router uses an older Protocol of the WIFI (WEP) with Lion on Airport?

  This will not change anything, except less secure your network.  The encryption method does not affect the rest of the internet connections, and you indicate that you are connected to WiFi.

• Photosmart more B209a-m does not connect with apple airport extreme base station

  I use the B209a-m wireless with a netgear router OS6.  I just changed the Netgear to an apple Airport Extreme router.  All my other hardware connected successfully with the new router but the B209a-m says "no connection found."  I know the printer is well within the router.  I have reset the factory settings on the printer.  I've disabled the system and restarted.  None of this has worked.  Suggestions?

  Hello

  You should not connect it to the airport.

  You must connect the printer with a USB port on your Mac, then run the HP installation wizard.

  From there, you will be guided to provifde the details needed to establish the connection between the printer and Airport Extreme wireless.

  Once the process will be completed and set up the wifi connection you will be guided to unplug the USB.

  You must use a USB cable high speed standard, not longer than 2 m in length.

  The square end must be connected to the USB port located at the back of the printer:

  

• Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

  Why can't connect using Apple Airport WIFI of my remote security cameras but can connect using the Xfinity WIFI Modem/Router open?

  Two possibilities:

  (1) your airport WiFi might have a network name that is not in line with best practices, wireless

  A good wireless network name is...

  ... In short no more than 20 characters

  Simple... no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, asterisk, etc.

  Compact, without spaces in the name

  For example, a wireless network network name as... red .dfedoryk Apple wireless network... .is not what you want. Something like... .dfedorykwireless. .. masse are much more likely to connect to non-Apple devices.

  Same guidelines your password

  (2) Apple gives the same name to network 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network that produces double router band.  Some non-Apple devices are confused by the present, you may need to use the option to assign a different name for the network of 5 GHz on the router from Apple. Then, 'point' your device to the network name specific to which you want to connect.

• SG300 combination with Apple AirPort Extreme

  Hello

  I recently bought a SG300 series switch. I want to connect my internet connection in a port of the switch and connect my Apple AirPort Extreme in the switch. So I want that all my other ports on the switch to be put to rout by the airport. Connection Internet and airport to the switch gives you access to the Internet for all wireless clients connected to it. But no switch ports can ping from the airport.

  How can I configure this as simple as possible?

  What I've done so far is to switch the L3 and nothing else. With nothing has changed from the default settings, I was expecting unrestricted access between ports, but appears not to be the case.

  It's my first time, so I expect that it's probably a simple problem.

  I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

  Thank you in advance.

  FR. Lars

  Lars salvation,

  I don't know what is the idea behind connection WAN and LAN to SG300. Is it because you have a single switch, but would need two?

  Also I am not aware how the airport works. Not NAT?

  To add a static route you must navigate Configuration IP--> IP--> Routes IPv4 interfaces and management

  Destination must be 0.0.0.0 IP prefix also 0.0.0.0 if this static route so to access internet.

  Kind regards

• How to extend a WiFi router network not Apple using Airport Extreme and Express?

  My cable ISP company just gave me a new modem/router - a DG of Arris - 2470. For the last two years I used a cable modem independent older with a connected Airport Extreme (both located on the ground floor) and an Airport Express station on the floor as an Extender. I was very happy with the power of the signal around the House.

  Since his arrival to the Arris router my signal has become very low to the floor. I would use my two Apple devices to extend/boost my network, but do not know how to do this.

  Thank you!

  Basically, you have two options:

  1. (Best overall performance of the network) Connect the extreme and Express on the Arris Ethernet gateway device and configure all for a traveling-type network. This would require an Ethernet connection between all routers that can be accomplished by either using Ethernet cable or the use of mains adapters.
  2. (The overall performance of the adequate network) Simply connect the extreme to the Arris Ethernet, then extend the extreme using the Express.

  Which of these do you prefer?

• Apple Airport express records is not on the wifi network

  HI, I bought an Apple Airport Extreme new several months and I haven't connected my Airport Express so far. For some reason, the Airport Express is same does not record on the network. I unplugged for several minutes and plugged in. I don't know if there may be a software update that I missed?  Someone had this problem?  I would be grateful for any help. Thank you! Chuck

  If you have not reset the Terminal AirPort Express to settings by default and then set up again to extend the network provided by the AirPort Extreme... so now may be a good time to do this.

  As it is, the Express is not "appear" on your network because it has not been provided with the settings to do.

  If you need some advice on how to get the Express running... we will need a little more information from you as follows:

  (1) your AirPort Express Terminal has two Ethernet ports... or... does he have one?  If is has one, we need to model on the side of the unit number. It starts with an "A" followed four digits.  For example... A1264.

  (2) AirPort Express Terminal will connect to the network using a permanent connection to the Ethernet cable wired to AirPort Extreme... or... the Express will connect wireless?

  (3) what device you use to configure the AirPort Express Terminal?

  (4) If you have a Mac, we need to know what operating system they are running. If you are not sure about this, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on about this Mac and post back with the Version of OS X number that you see there.

• Cannot print with HP6840 since I added the password to the Apple AirPort Extreme network

  I recently added to my Mac Airport Extreme network WPA password protection. While I can access the network from my computer, I can't print a HP6840, one of my two wireless printers, even if there is no problems prior to the addition of password.

  I can always print to my old HP LaserJet 6MP using an AppleTalk-Ethernet bridge and managed to reconfigure my second wireless printer to work with the new password.

  I already tried the following:

  Uninstalled/reinstalled the original CD and more recent software/drivers HP printer

  Tried to printer configuration using the Ethernet - half thanks looking for printer, received an error message "Communication error with a printer" and the installation process has failed.

  Checked: Safari bookmarks / Hello: printer does not appear

  Computer and the printer turned off and restarted the computer

  None of these attempts succeeded.

  Any suggestions on how to restore my wireless printing?

  Thank you.

  Mac OS 10.5.7 iMac with Intel processor

  I spent 3 hours on the phone this morning with the HP Technical Support. While the call cost me $35, it's probably money well spent. After trying all kinds of approaches to installation, we finally concluded that the villain was probably the combination of personal WPA2 to authenticate password on my network and the inability of the HP6840 printer (now almost 5 years) to support WPA2. Tech said that WPA2 wasn't around 5 years.

  So I have two options: delete the password completely and let my unprotected network, use a WEP password (which can create an Apple AirPort and the printer can recognize) or try a WPA password. However, it seems that the airport offer only WPA-Personal and WPA Enterprise, while the printer does not seem to accept the WPA.

  Even if I don't really relish change passwords again, it seems that WEP is the way to go.

  Hope this helps those trying to install old printers on the new networks.

• Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

• I have to disable the WiFi ATT U-verse service to set up Apple Airport?

  I have ATT U-verse Ethernet and wi - fi.

  I want to connect my Apple Airport to the Ether ATT entering for output to printer HP disk hard NAS and iMac.

  Since I wouldn't need two separate WiFi networks, I ignore, disable or echo the U-verse system in the network of Apple system?

  It all depends on where the AirPort Extreme will be.  If there are a few rooms off the ATT router and you need broader wireless signal, then you can have the airport provide a wireless signal that uses the same wireless network name and password as the ATT network... and you will have a network of "big".

  If the AirPort Extreme is installed near the router ATT and that you plan to use the AirPort wireless, so it wouldn't make sense to have two routers using the same network name. In this case, you can ignore the ATT wireless or clear this check box to enter in the configuration settings for the ATT router.

  If you have often invited and do not want to give your AirPort wireless network password, you can use the router ATT Wireless as a network of "guest."

• ARE remote with Apple Airport Extreme router wireless

  Hi all! I'm controlling my DA5800 STR using the Remote ES app but neither my iOS device sees the receiver OR my Sony Android Tablet S. So I figure it must be the network set up. I use a cable modem Motorola connected to an Apple Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. The receiver is connected to the router, as shown in the manual.

  I'm doing something wrong here?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello Sandiegodom,

  Please check the network settings on the receiver ARE and confirm that the 'external control' is active, as well as the "relief network" that will allow the application ARE the 'waking up' the unit from standby mode.

  Also check that your phone is connected to the same wireless network, and IP addresses of the phone and the receiver are in the same subnet / IP Range. UpNp must also be enabled in the settings of the router.

  If you have verifed that these settings are correct, then the question is perhaps with the router where it does not send data to the local discovery of uPnP network devices. A simple power reset or resetting the router will sometimes force the router to send back data and should fix the problem if that is the case.
