  A router is a device that connects computers (or other type of computer
  devices) to each other on a network and you can send files
  from one computer to the other. It does not connect to the internet, and
  you need a device called a modem vaguely to do this. The modem also
  connects to the router and allows the computers on the network
  (those connected to the router) to connect to the internet.

  However, note that there are some available devices that are
  router-modem combination. If your router is of this type, you do not have
  need a modem.

• I have five Airport extreme with their network of people names different location home.  I have a brighthouse router that I use to connect to all the extremes of the airport.  I experienced the problem of connection to the internet.

  I have five airport extreme, with their network of people of names in a different location in the House.  I have a brighthouse router that I use to connect to all the extremes of the airport.  I experienced the problem of connection to the internet.

  Are all connected to the Brighthouse router by Ethernet extremes? Are all of the extremes configured as bridges?

• I have an airport extreme and 2 airport expresses. my printer sees 3 networks alone vs. How to fix this?

  I have a relatively high House and have an airport extreme on one floor and 2 Airport Express - each on different floors.  My printer (Epson EF3640) considered the 3 networks all with the same name.  It seem to be printing problems if the computer is not on the same "network" as the printer. Any thoughts?  How airports that appear as a single network to the printer?

  Are all your base stations interconnected by Ethernet or wireless AirPort? Ideally for them all to be on the 'same' network you will want them connected by Ethernet and configured for a mobile network.

  Let us know if you want to continue this method and we can help you to help you with the installation.

• Need help with network home using Airport extreme

  I need help with my home network.  I'm not very aware when it comes to all things network.  Here's how my network is currently set up.

  Cable modem to Airport Extreme for Gigabit Switch.  Cables come out of the switch to all areas of the House.  I have 2 other extreme airport connected in other rooms of the House directly on the wall that dates back to the switch.  I hope I am explaining that properly.

  My problem is that this seems to have caused some of my connections cable does not work.  When everything is configured, it has worked well.  All connections in the House worked.  Then we have disconnected one of the extreme airport and moved to another location in the House to have the best wifi coverage.  Since that time, a lot of the ethernet wall plugs are not working.  For example, when I plug in my Macbook Pro in making ethernet in my kitchen, it says connected but it has an assigned ip address and cannot connect to the internet.

  Any help you can provide would be great.

  I would like to get the return tech to help you to...

  But it is likely that something (or someone) has tampered with the settings.

  The layout is fine... but you can cause problems with the network by creating a loop.

  This can happen because the AE you moved is connected wrongly... somewhere in the network it is connected to the switch again.

  Or AE is set to expand wireless... It's FAKE... It will loop the network on the back main EI wireless.

  Unplug the two AE you have that function as extensions...

  Turning off everything else... then it works again...

  Do it in this order.

  Modem... Wait 2 min

  AE... Wait 2 min

  Switch.

  Now check that the network is working properly... power of customers in various locations and make sure everything is good.

  If so, then manually reset the two AE of factory and redo their installation.

• I have older Airport Extreme and Express but I now want to set up a new router Airport.

  I have an old Airport Extreme as my main hard wired (ethernet connected) router and an Express that I use as wifi Wireless extender.   Now, I want to set up a new Airport (probably Extreme) router and use the old Airport extreme as extender wifi hard wired (ethernet cable).

  I know that I have to reset the old default airport routers. But, how I do this and please start from there and the beginning, their reset and then up to the new Airport base station and then configure the older router to use with the new? Please be detailed, step by step and attach written instructions or places that I can get the instructions.

  What exact models are each of your airport base stations? Once we have this information, we can help you get your properly configured access point.

• Need settings for LAN only on Airport Extreme

  I'm trying to set up a local network on my old Airport Extreme (no tour) without required internet access in my camper. My devices see the name AE, but does not connect. I use an iPad or an Iphone to view pictures and videos on an HDTV through my 2nd generation AppleTV. The unit has worked with these devices on my home network until I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme gerneration car a couple of weeks then I oould use the older one in the motor home.

  What device you are trying to use to set up the old AirPort Extreme?  We assume that you have the 'flat' or 'square' version, correct?

  A Mac running one operating system version current or recent will be easier to use, but an iPhone or iPad with AirPort Utility installed on the device could work.

  Depending on what you have, you need to be patient with this, because Apple's software does not do what you want to do.

• Can I connect a wireless modem to my Airport Extreme base station via ethernet and then connect this Ethernet modem to my TV to pinterest?

  Hello

  I want to connect my TV to my Airport Extreme via ethernet, so I can run Netflix. Can I just the branch? Can or, if it does not reach, I use an old router as a bridge linking to the Airport via an ethernet cable and connect the router to the TV?

  Thank you

  Lisa

  I want to connect my TV to my Airport Extreme via ethernet, so I can run Netflix. Can I just the branch?

  Yes.

  Can or, if it does not reach, I use an old router as a bridge linking to the Airport via an ethernet cable and connect the router to the TV?

  Yes. It is also possible, but only by using an Ethernet switch instead of a router would be a better solution. The important thing is the total distance of Ethernet between the extreme and the TV. Ethernet is limited to 100 m (328 ft)

• Can I have 2 Airport Extreme with running in a single wired network DHCP server

  Hello friends,

  Just a teenager from the windows world crawling as a child in the MAC world.

  I'm curious to know if we can have 2 extreme airport, acting as 2 DHCP servers in the same local network. I really doubt if it is possible, but still want to have Advisor by experts. I am considering a wired LAN. If possible, please help me understand how this can be done in detail.

  Thank you.

  In fact, you can. The key is to assign different DHCP scopes for each base station in the same IP address space.

  For example, you could assign the range 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.99 to a base station and have the other on: 10.0.1.100 via 10.0.1.200.

  You set the DHCP scope or range using AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • Select the network tab.
  • Select Network Options...
  • The range is set with the option "IPv4 DHCP Range".

  

  But the question would be why would you?

• Extend my cable modem network via Airport express and Time Capsule

  I am trying to expand my home network through my Airport express AND a Time Capsule. Installation of extension through the airport was easy and successful. I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule, but it gives me the opportunity to launch a new network. What do different to fix my Tim Capsule to my global network?

  I then tried to expand further with Time Capsule

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you want... given that the function of "extend a wireless network" Apple will not accept to be extended once the network is not two.

  The other question that you probably, it is that unless your 'main' router is also another router from Apple, the Express is not really 'extension' of the network at all, despite what you think.  More likely, the Express is "membership" in the network. It can be used to connect a USB printer remote in this environment or for use with AirPlay... but the Express doesn't "spread" or "repeat" when he joined the network.

  If you want to check if the Express is really extend the network, and you have a Mac laptop... after back and provide you with a few steps.

  But even if the Express could be the extension of the network... Time Capsule will have to connect to the network using a permanent, wired cables Ethernet... ideally to your main router, but it might work OK if you connect to the Express.

• 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.

• Airport Extreme update issues 1.28.16

  Need help-

  I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n second generation base station (the latest version of the utility is 6.3.1).  The base station works well when it is used with a MacBook Pro OSX 10.7.5 2008 (Mountain Lion) and a 2014 iPad running.  I am now introducing a new Macbook Pro into the network and need to update the Airport Extreme firmware.  Here is the message I get in the utility Airport:

  "This version of AirPort utility requires this version of the firmware use AirPort Extreme 7.3.1 or later. AirPort Utility 5.6 update this base station. 5.6 airPort utility is available at the Airport Service and support. »

  I've read through past posts on this update, that I understand that I must use a version 5.x of Airport utility to upgrade the firmware.  I tried to download AirPort Utility 5.6 on my older MacBook; This attempt failed.  I think I'm reading that I need an earlier version (10.5.x or 10.6.x) OS on the old MacBook to do the upgrade. What is my problem?

  Here are my questions:

  1. 1. How can I download Airport Utility 5.6 on my older MacBook who now runs OSX 10.7.5 and already has the Airport 6.3.1 utility on it?
  2. 2. If I update to firmware to 7.3.1 this will cause problems access to internet for my older MacBook?

  Thank you!

  1. How can I download Airport Utility 5.6 on my older MacBook who now runs OSX 10.7.5 and already has the Airport 6.3.1 utility on it?

  Unfortunately, you can not.  You will need to use... or borrow for 20 minutes or so... a Mac running leopard (10.5.x) or operating system Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC utility AirPort 5.6.1 for Windows installed on the device.

  With this device, you can update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.

  2. If I update to firmware to 7.3.1 this will cause problems access to internet for my older MacBook?

  You cannot update the firmware 7.3.1... that is what is already on the AirPort Extreme.  You update the firmware to the current version of 7.6.4 as the AirPort 6.3.1 utility will read firmware from 7.6.1 or more.

  Another option... If you live near an Apple Store... they could update the firmware for you... assuming they have an old Mac around what they use for testing, etc.

• 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.

• What is best modem cable to twin with new extreme apple 802.11 ac

  I have an old motorola sb6121 paired with new apple 802.11ac extreme I bought yesterday and after 12 hours of trying everything I keep getting disconnected every few seconds... I have read all the message concerned and tried them all to play nice... When I have more signals 85 Mbps because I pay for the explosion of comcast.  I want a new modem and would like to know what is recommended... I see zoom 5141j is recommended, but I see zoom a modem cable new 16 x 4... It would be to my advantage to go with vx 16 x 4 8 x 4 channels at the time of the twinning with extreme? Thank you

  What is best modem cable pair with the new 802.11ac Apple extreme

  Questions like this are indeed impossible to answer... especially because that person has tested every modem with an AirPort Extreme to see if there is really a modem 'best '.  Even if it were possible to come with a modem 'best' but... it would be judicious bit to choose this modem and then knowledge that was not supported by Comcast.

  Therefore, a better plan for you may be to search a list of modems supported by Comcast, narrow your choices down to 3-4 products, then post this list here and ask other users of Comcast comments on how the products have performed for them.  You can also consider posting on a forum online from Comcast as well.

  Regarding your question about the new Zoom modem, this product is really new, so it will be some time before a work experience can be developed for this product. It seems that the new Zoom modem is designed primarily for working with connections to high speed... 600, 700, 800 + Mbps Internet speeds. So, unless you plan to upgrade to a plan of Internet connection with these types of speeds in the near future, you probably don't need a modem with this type of functionality.

• 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.
