Modem/Airport Extreme recommendations?

This modem goes well with an Airport Extreme?

Not knowing what type of Internet service (cable, DSL, ADSL, satellite, etc.) are provided to you, it would be difficult to answer your question. In addition, your ISP can provide you with a list of approved modems that work well with their service. Provide such a list would also be useful. Finally, you have budget constraints on how much you want to pay for such modem?

  • Airport extreme for modem cable via an ethernet switch?

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

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

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

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

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

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

    or... it might look like this:

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

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

  • Remote access to Airport extreme

    Remote access to the express airport using airport utility.

    Can someone help me with a step by step to allow the possibility for me to access my gen 6 ae around outside my home network?  I know some say that this is not without danger.  I know that some people say that you are better to use for mac.  I don't have a Mac. I just want to access router and make changes, if necessary.  I was able to do it on my router lnksys without problem.  I just typed in my IP address and I have been a connection to my router. Since EI is not web interface, I guess I have to use my phone or the buffer using airport utility.

    I don't think it's important, but I have a simple setup.  Modem (cox ISPS) connected directly to the router 6 ae. Random devices connected to ports gigabit ae.

    Thank you

    Not what you want to hear, but unfortunately, AirPort Utility on an iPhone or iPad cannot do what you want, so cross that one of the list.

    And... the utility AirPort older 5.x on a PC does not officially support the new AirPort Extreme 802.11ac... (what do you call a 6th Gen AirPort Extreme)... so I doubt that a PC would work in this case because Apple has not updated AirPort Utility for Windows since Windows 7.

    If you can get your hands on a Mac running a current or recent operating system, that's the ticket... If you have a simple modem, AirPort Extreme is set up the router on your network and you know the public WAN IP address that receives the airport.

  • AirPort Extreme, gigabit Ethernet switch and covering my house

    I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n to Time Capsule wireless router. I have an old House. It was built in 1852 and microwave ovens have a hard time penetrating through some walls.

    Recently, I made some changes in the House and I wired things for Gigabit Ethernet. I have not yet bought a switch. We have a Mac Pro (cheese grater), a Mac Mini, three iPhones (only 6) and two iPads (one version 3 and the other, only the latter bought autumn, an iPad Air.)

    First of all, since most of us are on 802.11 n, can I initially put in place a heterogeneous system with two routers wireless connected to themselves and to the Internet via a switch? Also, I need two switches; one for the internal LAN and the other for a connection to the Internet? I intend to buy the new ac 802.11 AirPort extreme for a facility in one of the rooms to better cover the rest of the House. I think that both devices will be able to take advantage of the signal of 5 GHz, initially, with another iPad and iPhone to come along the next year. I wouldn't or the other base station being "enslaved" to the other but, rather, connected to the wired network internal and devices just switch between them that move around the House.

    Comments are welcome here. This can be a trip to a Genius Bar if I do not hear from final here.

    can I initially put in place a heterogeneous system with two routers wireless connected to themselves and to the Internet via a switch?

    Possibly, depending on the type of modem you have. See below info in this post.

    Also, I need two switches; one for the internal LAN and the other for a connection to the Internet?

    NO.

    I wouldn't or the other base station being "enslaved" to the other but, rather, connected to the wired network internal and devices just switch between them that move around the House.

    Not sure what you mean here. The two extremes of the airport will be connected to the cable network, so they will be in communication with them at all times. If you want to peripheral switch between them that move around the House... then you will need what is called a "mobile network"... so the two airports will produce a wireless signal that uses the same wireless network name. Apple Setup Assistant will put things this way by default.

    Depending on the type of "modem" you have, the network might look like this:

    Internet > Modem > AirPort Extreme 802.11ac > Ethernet switch > AirPort Extreme

    or, if your "modem" is really a modem/router, also known as, a walkway... then you have the ability to set things up like this:

    Internet > Modem/Router > Switch > the two airports to connect to the Ethernet network

    Looking for a Gigabit Ethernet switch to your network. Switches come in 5 ports, 16 channels, 8 ports, etc. versions.  It's always a good idea to buy an Ethernet switch over a few ports that you think that you may need right now... to allow for expansion.

    The key here is that the type of modem you have will determine how to configure the network.  If you could provide the number of brand and model of your "modem", we can eliminate some of the assumptions to be used at this time.

  • 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.

  • Airport Extreme and Broadband Modem/Router

    I have my Airport Extreme (5th generation) plugged into a Broadband Modem/Router combo. I would like to have both able to use their wireless capabilities. The Airport Extreme has been previously connected to a Modem broadband all my IP addresses came by Airport Extreme (192.168.2. *). With the New Modem/Router combo broadband, it uses 10.0.0 * so I would be able to use Airport Extreme to add the 192.168.2. * While having the 10.0.0. * the Broadband Modem/Router combo.

    Is this possible and, if so, how do I configure Airport Extreme to do?

    Normally, you don't want two devices on the same network as the two try to act as routers to the same network. Which will produce conflicts of IP addresses... which can possibly be addressed... and a Double NAT problem, which cannot.

    The Double NAT error can cause a number of unpredictable issues... things like the problems of communication between the devices on the network, slow navigation... or, not navigation in the case of certain websites, Internet access slower, to name a few.

    Yes, some users may get away with a Double NAT on a single home network, but unnecessarily complicating things over a network is normally something you want to avoid.

    We do not recommend it, but if you really want AirPort Extreme for use range 192.168.2.x however, you can easily make this change using AirPort Utility. If you are not sure how to do this and need help, then we will need to know which version of AirPort utility you are using.

    To find, open AirPort Utility, and then click the menu of AirPort Utility in the far left of the screen corner. Click on about AirPort Utility to see what version you have and post back with that info.

  • Currently have what benefits will provide an Airport Extreme wifi modem service the Fios last?

    I have FIOS at home and bought their last fastest modem.

    I have some "weak points" around the House for the wifi connection.

    If I add the Airport extreme it can solve this?

    If I add the Airport extreme it can solve this?

    Yes, if you are looking for an AirPort Extreme in the middle of an area that needs more wireless coverage. The downside of this is that the AirPort Extreme needs to connect to FIOS modem/router with wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    Unfortunately, if you have two different general areas where you need more wireless coverage, then you will need two extremes of the airport, one per domain. Two airports must connect to FIOS modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

    You can do better to find an "extension" or "repeater" that would be compatible with the modem/FIOS router and connect using wireless, rather than wired, which would require an Apple AirPort base station.

    Check to see if they produced with the support of FIOS available to do this, or could recommend a compatible product for you.

  • Need a cable Modem (have an Airport Extreme)

    I am a subscriber of internet high speed from Comcast in the Chicago area.  I have their most recent Wireless Gateway that supports the 802.11ac fall on my newly upgraded Airport Extreme.  I'm looking to buy my own cable modem and seeks recommendations based on the information.

    Anyone who wants to help out? Thank you!

    In fact, I would like to start with modems that that Comcast will be supported. The only ones you should avoid a potentially are the Arris / Motorola SB61XX-series modems as they have been known to be incompatible with airport base stations.

    For recommendations, I suggest you Cisco, as the DPC3008 models.

  • problem w / Airport Extreme base station and modem Netgear broadband

    I just changed to ATT Uverse to Time Warner - internet only.  With Uverse, I was using my Airport Extreme base station to create a wireless network, and it has worked well in this capacity.  When you switch to TWC, the tech got the modem (TWC allows you to buy your own modem, so I bought a Netgear CM600 a recommended model) enabled and works very well, but could not get the Airport base station to talk about her (yellow light blink on the base station).  So, he opted for a TWC wireless modem/router.  Interestingly, I found that I could plug the Airport base station in the TWC modem (without any reconfiguration, just plugged into the WAN port base station to the modem ethernet port, as I had had with Uverse equipment) and voila!  It worked immediately.

    So, I called TWC to retry my Netgear modem.  I have the base station power off, plugged on the ethenet port Netgear, put back under tension and just got the blinking light.  I know that the modem does not work, because my iMac's network to the internet through the base station, for the Netgear, and go outside and I can fine surf in this way.  So it is something in the wireless configuration that must be different between the TWC modem and the Netgear modem.

    Obviously, I'm not an expert at this, basic troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.  The base station functions as a router (I can connect through a port ethernet through it), it is simply not generate a WiFi network for me...

    Thanks for the tips

    If your AirPort Extreme has been in its original configuration, it would act as a wireless Internet router. If you connect another router upstream to the extreme, there is work, but you'll have a condition known as: Double NAT. This isn't necessarily bad, but should be avoided if possible. To do this is simply to reconfigure the downstream router (in this case, the extreme) under a bridge. This disable its functions of routing and remove the error condition.

    However, if your extreme base station has been reconfigured as a bridge, if connect you directly to a simple modem, like the Netgear CM600, then this configuration will not work because no device will provide the necessary routing functions.

    It's always a good idea to perform a full power recycle your network hardware during change of equipment. Maybe that's the only thing your missed when you design your own? If you haven't done so already, please give it a try with the CM600 & Extreme combo. After return your results.

  • What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

    The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

    Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

    You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

    How to work with this pinhole?

    Usually a paperclip or toothpick or ball pen.

    Stick it in the hole and reset for about 10 seconds until the front led flashes quickly.

    How to reset AirPort Extreme 10.11.6 OS?

    The software method... Unlike the above material method... is to open airport utility and select restore default settings.

    Both methods take you to the same place.

  • If I can do an Airport Extreme mobile network with a modem/router cable xfinity manufactured by Cisco?

    Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

    Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?

    Yes, if the Airport Extreme will be connected to the Cisco DPC3939 back using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

    The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

    No. I you have done this, the Cisco/Xfinity device would only act as a simple modem... so it would not be a wireless service to all.

    A note of caution here... the support document you are referencing... Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)... use the examples that are long outdated does not follow with the versions present on a Mac AirPort Utility or iPhone/iPad.

    There are some good general information in the document.

  • 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.

  • Problems with AirPort Extreme and Qwest Modem/Router.

    I have a Qwest ActionTec 1000 DSL VDSL2 gateway and want to disable the functions of router wireless and those through direct AirPort Extreme. I know that in the Modem I have to disable the functions of addressing and turn them in the AirPort Extreme to avoid address conflicts, but what are the settings I need to change in both devices? And what is "A Transparent bridging" on the side of the modem?

    But what are the settings I need to change in both devices?

    Sorry, we can't help on the settings for the modem/router, because it would be a question of Qwest as to if this is even possible and if so, if Qwest will support this type of installation. Sometimes the ISP lock modem/router settings, and although it seems as if you can change the basic configuration of the unit, you can really.

    Yes, it is possible that another user of Qwest has done with the same modem/router you have and an AirPort Extreme... and may know the answer... but the chances of the person who holds this information also to see this post are slightly above zero. But, I guess it's possible.

    If the modem/router can be configured to operate only as a simple modem, then the next step would be to get your Mac connected directly to the modem to test the connection in this way. If Qwest is going to help you, they will do it no doubt with your Mac connected directly to the "modem" as well.

    Once you know the exact details of the PPPoE authentication to establish a connection, these parameters can be transferred to the AirPort Extreme and removed from your Mac. To do this, you reset the AirPort Extreme back to default and then put settings in place again. The installer should detect the PPPoE connection and then ask for your login information.  After this, the correct settings apply to AirPort Extreme during the installation.  You can still use the same wireless network name and password you used before if you wish, or set up a new network name and password.

    PPPoE on the routers of the airport, at least in my experience, was not a reliable way to connect when I tried this in the past, but you don't really know how well... or even if... it will work until try you it. Unless you really want the airport to distribute IP addresses to devices on your network, things would be a lot more simple if you went ahead and used the modem/router "such what" and then let the airport works in Bridge Mode to transfer information in connection with network devices.

    When you have the modem/router converted to act as a simple modem and made a successful connection using your Mac connected directly to the "modem", post back and we can help with the configuration of the AirPort Extreme if you need more advice.

  • I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I put in place already to extend the wifi of my modem still connected to the modem via ethernet cable.

    Now I want to be considered on the floor and use it to extend the wifi without ethernet cable

    The AirPort Extreme can extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple, so if you want to take the AirPort Extreme on the floor and extend wireless signal, you will need another airport connected to your modem by Ethernet cable router to produce the wireless signal that will extend the extreme on the floor.

    Another way of saying the same thing would be to say that if you want to extend wireless using a router from Apple, you'll need two of them do... because AirPort Extreme is not compatible with a third-party modem or modem/router for this purpose.
