• Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

  I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

  Any ideas would be very useful.

  The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

  First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

  If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

• Network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working

  Our network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working.  We moved offices and even if my MacBook Air (13-inch mid-2013, El Capitan 10.11.3) can see the two networks, the option of comments does not connect to internet at all.  I did a reset of the Airport (essentially started above) and always the option of comments does not connect.  All software are up to date.  AAACCCKKKKK!

  You probably had AirPort Extreme to the old office set up as a router to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network.

  Now, the AirPort Extreme in the new offices may have probably been implemented in Bridge Mode to work correctly with the "new" network  If this is the case, then the guest network will not work correctly when the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

  Check this option as follows:

  Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  Click on edit in the window that appears

  Click on the network at the top of the next window tab

  

  Check the settings for the router Mode.  Is is "Off (Bridge Mode).

  If so, the guest network is unable to function properly in this environment.

• 2nd airport Extreme not found in Airport utility

  I recently replaced an Airport Extreme 6 years with a new one. The former we worked, but the range of its signal seems to have declined, so we replaced.

  Now the news is up and running without problem. And I would take the old and use it to extend our network. We already have an Airport Express Terminal to expand the network, so this would add another node.

  I moved to its new location and plugged the power cord. It shows the yellow flashing light. However, the old Airport Extreme does not appear in Airport utility. Screenshot attached. There is nothing in the section other devices Wi - Fi.

  

  ZeroOne_nomap-2 is my new base station. AirPort Express of Sunny was already part of the network. The old base station does not appear.

  Any ideas?

  You must reset the 2nd Gen AirPort Extreme back to default settings, before it can be put in place to expand the network.

  Temporarily, to locate the 2nd Gen airport near the new AirPort Extreme

  Turn on the 2nd Gen airport a few minutes

  Then hold down the reset button on the back of the airport for 5 to 6 seconds then release

  Allow a minute for the airport restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

  

  Now click the WiFi icon at the top of your Mac.

  Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

  Click on AirPort Extreme, just below this list

  

  Who will get the "Wizard" configuration running. It will take a few seconds to display a screen that looks like this, except that you can see your devices and the network name.

  Type a name you want to call the 2nd Gen airport

  Click next

  

  The wizard will set up everything for you. When you see an installation message, click done

  Now, turn off the power and pass the 2nd Gen to its new location where it can receive a strong signal from the AiPort Extreme 'hand' and turn on the 2nd Gen airport

• 2nd airport Extreme replaces an older AP, it is connected via wifi or ethernet?

  Sorry for what is lame, I read on the news from Apple, but I'm a bit confused with the concept of the expansion of the range with a bridge instead of an access point.

  The original installation was an extreme Apple with a TrendNet AP. The Trendnet used a different SSID, the new bridge to the AESB uses the same SSID as the router/AESB. I used the Airport utility, and I think that it only gave me an option to extend the reach of the original AEBS. The new bridge to the AESB is connected to Ethernet.

  I'm confused that if the new AESB uses the same SSID as the AESB/router, it means that it does not use the ethernet connection. How can I know if the second AESB is using the Ethernet connection or extend the reach of the Wifi? Or actually I mess up and need to re-setup the AESB?

  A bridge is actually one access point, but uses the same SSID? all the other differences?

  Thanks in advance!

  Let's back off on the terminology for a bit, since terms such as 'spread', 'bridge' and 'access point' can mean different things to different people.

  You have an AirPort Extreme at the moment which produces a signal of wireless network, correct?

  You want to add another AirPort Extreme to your AirPort Extreme network, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme to connect to the existing AirPort Extreme using wired, Ethernet wired, permanent, correct?

  You want the new AirPort Extreme using the same wireless network name and password as your existing AirPort Extreme, correct?

• 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.

• Solve a problem by getting an Airport Extreme to join my network.

  Greetings,

  I have a WiFi network, consisting of a router TimeMachine (primary Base Station), the AirPort Extreme Base Station and expansion of the Airport Express network

  I receive notification messages for these devices utility AirPort (Enter Password) - probably updates lately.  I do not know the passwords for these devices because I've had them so long and after initial installation and many updates of OS X I couldn't find entries for them in Keychain Access.

  Today, I made an attempt to reset the Airport Extreme to try and go through the installation routine and have the opportunity to create a new password and save it.  First of all, I did a soft reset and then tried a hard reset.  The results were the same for either - one error as follows...  Airport Extreme fits factory currently.  It is plugged in and running with a light orange blinking.  She appears in the WiFi menu as a new Airport base station.  Selecting menu launches Airport utility and a dialog box drop-down connection.  The dialog box States "collecting information on your network - preparation, Joining Airport Extreme and finally"an unexpected error has occurred, try again"there is a very brief message (.5sec) before the last error - try again.»  In my view, that it is said 'Extreme Base Station on your network'.  This could mean that because the TimeMachine works as the main base station, the Airport Extreme Base cannot be joined so that I can Setup/modify it.

  Ultimately I'd like to get the issue resolved for all three devices password, but I'm a little gushy now after this attempt

  Someone has an idea how to proceed.

  Thanks Dave

  There are several things going on, but you can fix pretty quickly is the password. It is a piece of information that you should really have - now and for the future. You can reset your password by sticking the end of a paper clip in the back of the airport for more than ten seconds. You will see the configuration on the Airport utility screen. Do not forget your password in the future.  At the end of this operation, you can see a firmware view - to take care of that.

  Once your airport is reset, and the password is updated and updates, you can see if there are any problems - if any. If there are additional questions, you can include a photo of the Airport utility screen.

• Airport Extreme is adjustable upward in client mode?

  I've set up the Express in client mode before, but I'll have set up extreme. During setting up he sees that I am on an existing network, but he doesn't know that and wonder if I would create a new. When I try to connect to an existing network, it indicates that an unexpected error has occurred. I also tried to set up a new network and then in the utility existing Airport to connect to the network. He takes the password and restarts and then never reappears in Airport utility, after I switch back to the existing network.

  AirPort Extreme is adjustable upward in client mode?

  No, do not use any version 6.x of AirPort Utility.

  Maybe, if you have an old 'flat or square' in the form of AirPort Extreme and you can use an older version 5.x of AirPort Utility to maybe put in place.

  But even if you could do that, the extreme doesn't really matter in client mode. The Ethernet ports are not enabled, and the extreme would not "extend" or "repetition" of the network. The only thing that would work would be the USB port, which runs at half the speed of a USB 2.0 standard.

• Airport Extrem ' device not Born ".

  Dear friends

  I have a serious problem with my Airport Extrem. I have a small network with an airport extrem and two airport express. The two express equip different flowers in the building as Wi - Fi. On the events of the airport, I also have a USB hard drive. This has worked for 2 years until this morning. All of a sudden, I couldn't access the hard disk more. I opened airport utility and saw that the events of the airport could not be reached. I unplugged the airport and after a minute, everything is ok. The airport is all work. But after 5 minutes the airport suddenly disappears again. I always have internet and phone just the airport is gone and now the connections on the hard drive.

  I unplugged the Airport now probably 20 times and it's always the same. Œuvres for a litte while then his party.

  Don't know what happened during the night, but there was no software update as fare, AFAIK.

  Can anyone help?

  Paul

  This is a bug in common with El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks and Mountain Lion OS that Apple has not been able to fix reliably. It is usually not due to lack of all Apple, however.

  Try a complete network power cycle. That would mean...

  Turning off all network devices, computers, modem, airport, printers, etc... in any order you want

  Wait a minute

  Only the modem lights up and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself

  Then, turn on the device connected to the modem, which could be AirPort Extreme

  Keep powering devices one at a time a minute outside until the network is back

  Keep an eye on the network

  If the problem persists, we will need to check and probably change the IPv6 on your Mac and AirPort Extreme settings. The reason is that most Internet Service providers are trying to introduce and integrate IPv6 in their systems technology... and while most ISPs insist that this should cause no disturbance with connections, this was not to be the case with a number of Internet service providers.

• Slow wifi transfer rates with Airport Extreme network.

  I have an Airport extreme Rev 5 and am trying to transfer files between 2 Mac on the network. Everything works fine, but the transfer speed is only about 2.5 meg per second. Should get more than that?

  Everything works well, I get my full bandwidth from my ISP (11.8 Mbps) when downloading via wifi, it s just during the transfer of files within the wifi network that things are slowing down.

  Thanks for any help

  Tim

  Wireless is inefficient when you double jump... This means that... both computers are transfer of files via the Wi - Fi because wireless deals actually double the packages... So he immediately reduces speed by 50%.

  Let us ensure that we are using right units first.

  1. your download from the internet is measured in bits per second... Please use b for forests.

  2. your file transfer is measured in bytes per second... Please use B for bytes.

  So, if you look at the monitor of activity... a copy of computer file wireless to NAS (ethernet) ran at 38-40 MB/s

  

  If I transfer to another computer that is also the wireless speed would be halved. Or worse... (see below, even with AC wireless is far worse) depends on the slower links.

  So how do you measure the speed of file transfer and is it bits or bytes per second?

  What is the speed of connection on each computer.

  Hold down the option key and click on the fan wireless.

  

  You can see that this computer has a 450Mbps link speed... It will never transfer files to that more than half, but you wait for connections at full speed to get the best links.

  My new computer...

  

  So if I transfer the computer file to another, it looks like this.

  

  Even with that wireless, it's much slower than the SIN that has ethernet and spinning drive... The computer has SSD.

• The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

  I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

  Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

  I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

  I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

  Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

  I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

  It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

• Can the Airport Extreme connect wireless to my wifi network?

  Hi all

  I have an Airport Extreme, which I use only for his Time Machine feature.  Best I can tell the only way he can connect to my wireless network is extending.  Is this correct?

  If I use it to extend my wireless network was is the negative impact (if any)?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can extend wireless or even join wireless to less the router that you connect to another router from Apple.

  If this is the case then it can work well if it is in the range... otherwise, you must plug the AE into the router principal by ethernet and put in place as a separate network wireless access point.

  Extend wireless is bad if you are linked to the main router wireless... which will cause huge slow down even if you are in a situation of apple router all.

• Addition of AirPort Extreme allows a Local network behave strange

  Hello

  At the moment is have this setup at home.

  DSL-> provider Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule

  The airport Time Capsule is the generation model current 5th A1470 of running in mode Bridge with the router form my provider and implements a wireless network. It all works very well, but in my office working there WiFi coverage is a little low is a desire to grow with another airport.

  This is the configuration of the construction:

  DSL-provider of Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule-> LAN-> Airport Extreme >

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in Bridge Mode and extend the wireless network. When I perform this configuration, the problems start. All devices bad connection to the internet, features are added several times on the network (also the Airport express are added some time because it appears with a (2) after East), in Airport utility, I get constantly disconnected status and it is very difficult to resolve, because I lose the connection even if I'm hard wired to the airport. I can also access devices that have a static IP address as the same router (192.168.1.1) or my home server. Thus, it seems that my local network is malfunctioning.

  When I unplug the Airport Extreme, everything works well again. I searched but not found this problem.

  Thanks for the help.

  Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in bridge and extend wireless networkMode.

  You can NOT extend wireless with the AE plugged into the TC.

  Your choice of plug in ethernet is good.

  Your wireless installation must be to create a wireless network... you can use the same name as the TC's wireless or different... It is totally up to you.

  What you did is due to a loop with the connection by both wireless and ethernet.

  If you want to use extend wireless... much slower option... then you disconnect the ethernet AE of the TC... If the connection is purely wireless.

• Network configuration of Roaming Wifi problem I just bought an Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router

  I just bought a refurbished Airport Extreme and I intend to use it as my router & combine with our old time Capsule of existing one to create a roaming Wifi network.

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  Our small ethernet is connected to my iMac [mid 2010 running OSX 10.11.5] & a PC and extends up to 2 other domains through an ethernet switch.

  This configuration works very well, our internet speed has improved slightly - better than our old T-Link router bit.  WiFi available throughout the House - better on one side.

  Time Capsule (2 TB) is connected by ethernet on the far side of the House, offer backup Time Machine and strong Wifi to this area.

  This time Capsule was an existing installation that went perfectly with the T-Link before I bought the Airport Extreme.

  I used the Airport utility to set everything up and it seems to work.

  The problem is:

  Combines the Capsule and extreme connected & active, the Internet gradually slows down and grinds to stop. -Wifi seems to follow suit, but is much more gradual.

  If I disable the Time Capsule, the internet connection is back to normal, Airport Extreme Wifi signal is strong and extends to almost all areas.

  I got to the departure of the two units configuration problems, so I reset both factory default and from that moment managed to do all this work - with the exception that the internet connection slows down.  Whenever I visit a different web site, it takes more time to load/link upward.

  I spoke with our ISP, the link to our tower is solid. The technology suggested that I put Wifi on each unit to use a different channel (2 frequencies & several channels each available).

  So far, this has not resolved the problem, I will continue to make adjustments.

  I googled this - most of the answers are not to date - usually 2012, 13, 14. and not directly related to my situation.  But I will continue my search.

  I'd appreciate if anyone here has any suggestions

  The new Airport Extreme (renovated) is in my studio/Office - directly connected to our internet broadband wireless (WAN port)

  What is the number and the model of the modem or modem/router that your ISP has provided you?

  Should we assume that you use a Mac with the help of a current or recent operating system?

  If you get out of the Capsule of time and leaves disabled for now, the network AirPort Extreme continue to run at full speed for a few hours and not slow down?

  We ask these questions because we must first confirm that the AirPort Extreme works properly until we can begin to troubleshoot the connection to Time Capsule.

• Airport Extreme network orientation parameters

  Here is our network (diagram below) configuration:

  Internet is available through a pass by modem cable to the Sonic Wall set with a static IP address. The wall of sound, we have a port to a point of cradle that is not with a static IP and gives on a totally different range of the IPS via DHCP to our POS. Another port of the Sonic Wall, I had going to the WAN port on our new airport extreme. I have a switch with some control machines connected to the Airport extreme via an ethernet cable. All devices connected via wifi or hard cable with Airport extreme are placed for IPS via DHCP.

  I am trying to configure parameters on a new device extreme airport our Wi - Fi to my company. We recently had some problems of internet connectivity for a minute or two at a time and I wonder if it could be some sort of conflict of IP address or if it was just a failure of the internet that did not affect the status of the modem lights cable (all were green = connected). Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  30 days later we have a brief interruption in internet connectivity with our credit card processing POS two days in a row for a minute or two of. After the second case, we shut down the extreme airport just in case that was causing our problem. I had a technician COMPUTER down and he suggested I put the airport with a static IP (x.x.7.80) outside the range of IP addresses of our wall router Sonic DHCP-range (let's say it was x.x.7.100 - x.x.7.252) he has been giving and then configured the network settings for DHCP LAN only Airport (I used x.x.7.10 - x.x.7.70) with a range that doesn't overlap the IP of the Sonic Wall range. Part of the confusion, I had during the configuration of the airport was if I needed to plug in our Sonic Wall static IP address in the 'router' address and if I needed to use the DNS servers that appeared in the Sonic Wall settings (I thought he was shooting at those of the cable company). After you make these changes, I got a green light on the airport and the connection was working fine when tested. The next day, we had another interruption of connectivity where our treatment card and internet from WIFI got interrupted. I unplugged the power of WIFI and it seemed that our POS network has begun to process cards normally again.

  The point side cradle of the network is to grasp what IP the sonic wall gives him and give the address on a completely different system that is used in the other part of the network. Another question would be if I can just put the Airport extreme to DHCP mode under the 'Internet' parameter and go to the bridge on "Network" setting Mode I don't know how the bridge Mode would affect our network. I'm not wanting to do anything on the side POS (point of cradle) which is rather difficult with someone like me who is not an expert. Any thoughts are appreciated to help me resolve this issue.

  

  Brief history: the most extreme airport on a port of our Sonic wall with the airport extreme is default DHCP and NAT (he gave me the orange light, and he suggested that I put it in Bridge mode). Internet in all of our network seemed to work very well, so I just left it alone.

  There are two schools of thought on this.  The traditional method (better, in my opinion) would have the AirPort Extreme, put in place in Bridge Mode... Since you already have another router... (the Sonic Wall device which is upstream of your network)... providing routing services.

  Although you might be able to make a network work well with two different devices acting both as of the routers on the network, it complicates things, adds another firewall to the network, and also produces a base called Double NAT network error.

  Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but the double layers of NAT may cause some unpredictable problems. The usual problem is slower navigation, or you will not be able to access some Web sites.  Network devices may not communicate reliably, or communicate at all in some cases.

  This is why Apple software configuration you advise to set up AirPort Extreme in bridge... Mode to fix the Double NAT error. This type of configuration simplifies your network... Since one device will put a router... not two.

  In recent years in particular, we have seen some tips on forums that goes against the rules of traditional networking.  These people that it is OK to have two devices both try to act as routers to the same network... and to 'ignore' the Double NAT error on the network.

  It's interesting tips, since the Apple software advises you avoid having a Double NAT on the network... and some advanced features like Back to My Mac specifically Apple advise to avoid a Double NAT error on the network.  If you have a console online game and you want to play interactively on Internet, you already know that a Double NAT error will not allow this.

  My suggestion would be so... If you have not already tried it... to set up the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.  Apple calls this setting off (Bridge Mode)... which simply means that routing services are turned 'Off' Mode bridge.

  You can still assign a static to AirPort Extreme IP address, if you want, but the devices that are connected to the AirPort Extreme will receive the Sonic Wall router network IP addresses... Since the airport acts as a simple device to "go" when he returns and in Bridge Mode.
