Network with Airport Extreme problems connected to the Linksys switch

I have a wired network in my house.  It has the following configuration: Modem base station Airport Extreme for Linksys switch and then all wired connections.  It is in a wiring closet in a room upstairs.  I have 2 other extremes from the airport, to spread out of the range, but they are currently disabled and disconnected from the network until I have found why I get auto ip address on several of my wired connections.  I have reset the modem, EI and switch.  More wired connections seem to be working very well, but there are 4 or 5 who say that the ethernet cable is connected, but it can not connect to the internet because of a self assigned ip address.  I thought maybe it was a problem with the port of the switch, but when I plugged a cable work in, everything worked again.  Thus, for example, on my iMac, in a study downstairs, I had plugged on the ethernet port in the wall.  He let me only to connect to wireless internet.  He says the ethernet connection had a self assigned ip.  I went upstairs and took the cable from the switch and directly connected to the Airport Extreme, and then connect to this iMac worked fine via ethernet.  So I'm really confused as to why it does not work when it is connected to the switch.  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

Because either you have a bad port on the switch (unlikely, but possible) or a wired Ethernet connection bad, or maybe both ends of several of the Ethernet cables (99% of the time, the problem is in the wiring or connectors Ethernet... not the switch).

But, we must test the switch first and then work from there.  It might be much easier to call a guy from wire or the custom installation specialist to do all this for you, but if you want to give it a try... Here's how.  It is not difficult at this stage, just take some time.

Unplug the switch except the Ethernet cable that connects the AirPort Extreme to each cable Ethernet switch.  Label each Ethernet cable with a number or a letter you can install the wires in their original position on the switch.

Use of a laptop computer with an Ethernet port and a short, spare Ethernet cable... virtually no matter what length will make... and turn off the WiFi on the laptop so it should use Ethernet to connect to Internet.

Test an Ethernet port on the switch with the laptop and the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have get a good Internet connection. If you do so, test the next port of the switch. Continue until all ports of the switch has been tested.  With luck, they will all work.

If this is the case... which is likely... then you know that the Ethernet switch is working properly.

Now things get a little more complicated. Ideally, you have documentation that tells you what Ethernet cable goes to what area of the House. If you don't, just connect the Ethernet cable to the switch... then go to the other end of the Ethernet cable to the wall outlet and connect the computer laptop and short Ethernet cable to the wall socket.

If you have no documentation to indicate where each cable goes, so go ahead and connect all the Ethernet cables to the switch.

Still, make sure that the wireless is disabled on the laptop so that it can only connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. Check if you can get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then you know that the individual Ethernet cable and the Ethernet port on the wall are working properly...

Test other areas one at a time the same way.  You are very likely going to find Ethernet cables or a wall of ports that do not work properly. The hardest part here is that you... or a wire guy... will have to check the Ethernet cable at both ends to ensure that the Ethernet Sockets have been installed correctly.  It is not easy. The wires are tiny and its easy to get involved.  Installation of new Ethernet cards, it's really a job for an experienced guy who will provide hopefully a cable Tester well when it comes.

Some Ethernet will certainly be replaced.  In rare cases, the cable itself has a break somewhere... and it's not easy to fix something like this, without pulling new cable... that would not be possible according to the House provision.

When you know that all ports on the switch are working and all ports Ethernet wall around the House work... so... we can get the network set in place and working properly.

  • Can I use multiple partitions on a disk network with AirPort Extreme?

    I want to be able to add a hard drive 2 TB to my AirPort Express 802.11ac and have the drive partitioned as well as 1 TB is for a Time Machine backup and the other 1 TB then for file storage?

    While I understand the need to use an external engine hard drive and format the drive while it is directly plugged into the Mac, formatting of os x journaled (Extended) etc. I just want to know if more partitions are able to be used in this way at a time.

  • Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

    Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

    However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

    So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

    The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

    When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

    Thank you.

    Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

    When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

    If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

    You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

    Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

    How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

    If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

    This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.

  • Connection with airport extreme Wi - Fi C7250 AIO problem

    Hello

    a linksys router wrt54g connected to the PC with the macbook, imac and the c7250 connected wireless and works well.  router died and I just extreme double router from the airport.  PC connected to the extreme now with the imac and macbook always wireless.

    the c7250 will not print. I deleted the printer from the print queue of the printer apple and I tried to reset the printer... but essentially, it cannot find the extreme network from the airport during the Setup Wizard.  I have to manually enter the name of the network and it will find it yet.  the printer is 2 feet from the router.  Apple said that there is a problem of HP.

    Thanks for your help!

    Scott

    We will reset the printer to see if the radio comes back to life:

    Turn off the printer, hold it # and 6 keys everything back on.

    If this does not work, you can connect with an Ethernet cable (if practical).  In the case opposite sound will repair or replace time.

  • 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.

  • A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.

    A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.  When I unplug the extreme internet works fine.  What is the problem?  The extreme old used to be the main, but I reset when I bought the new Time Capsule.  Time Capsule is now the principal.  We had extensive network in the House for over a year with no problems until I put the Capsule in the mixture.  Why they arrive as well as the other?

    Is AirPort Extreme 'extension' of the network by wireless connection to the Capsule of time... or... AirPort Extreme connects to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable connection?

  • Loading slow web page and with Airport Extreme connection speeds

    About 5 days ago, I noticed a significant slow down the loading of web pages. In some cases, I see a blank white screen for up to a minute before the page is loaded. In others, the page never loads at all. And sometimes they load very quickly as expected. This happens with my iMac that is connected to a router via ethernet, as well as my Macbook Air connected via Wifi to Airport Extreme.

    I have a high-speed internet connection by cable Comcast/Xfinity: Blast 250Mbps.

    I tried to connect my iMac directly on the model of cable (Arris Surfboard SB6183), and there is no problem. Download speed was 30Mbps 300Mbps and upload.

    Then, I plugged my Airport Extreme router again and connected the iMac to the router via Ethernet. Download speed dropped to 100 Mbps!

    This suggests that the problem may be with the Airport Express. It is not a wireless problem, because as you can see the download speed went from 300Mbp/s connected directly to the model 100 Mbps when connected to the Airport Extreme.

    How do I troubleshoot/fix this?

    One last thing: I did a speed test with my Macbook Air that is connected via Wifi and the Airport Extreme router. Download speed dropped to 35 MB/s.

    Direct connection to the modem is so very fast, suggesting the internet connection Comcast isn't the issue. Speed falls even with ethernet to the Airport Extreme router connection, then decreases even more with the Wifi connection.

  • There was a problem connecting to the network

    It identifies the network properly even when I put the password - and that is the password - the comment poster 'there was a problem connecting to the network.  The WiFi network, you are trying to reach cannot be found. "Yet he already told me that the network is correct.  Frustrated!

    Is the network that you connect to your personal or public?  On my home network, I turned on an access control and when you are trying to connect with an unauthorized device, we get similar behavior.  It does not connect despite all the correct information.

  • Airport Extreme cannot connect with KoboAura ereader and Beloit airplay 12 speaker

    Airport Extreme cannot connect to KoboAura ereader and a speaker of 12 airplay of Beloit.

    If this is not the case, already, try to use a network name that does not contain any special characters or use spaces. For example, if you use "this network of MY #is ^ ss NETw0rk," change to something like: thisismynetwork.

    See if these two devices can connect now. They can?

  • Irregular problem connecting to the wired network

    My Windows 7 PC has an irregular problem, connect to the local network of cable through a provided network of the netgear modem/router.

    The connection timeout is the question and sometimes takes a while four two minutes or more.

    A reboot of the pc never seems to resolve but (quite often, in fact usually) will be a restart of the modem.

    The modem is always on (as the announced network connection is supposed to be).

    The network provider has replaced the modem, and the problem persists. This leads me to believe that there is a start up or similar problem with the pc.

    I ran the troubleshooter in windows... no chance/results. Is there a "fixit" tool I could try or something similar?

    Happy to clarify, to provide more information and appreciate any input.

  • Roaming network 3 Airport extreme

    Hello, this is my second post on the forum.  I have a roaming network 3 AirPort Extreme ACs.  (1) in the basement in the medium floor and a first floor on.

    Now middle and basement floor gives off a strong wireless signal and the home is wired with cat 5e if I have devices plugged into the extremes of import and everything works great.  However the AirPort Extreme is only releasing one, 9 Mbps wireless speed when other airports are clearing of 50-150 MB/s.

    I read on these forums that maybe my channels is getting mixed, but all adverse events are set to automatic for the channels so should I change that?

    Also when my new MacBook Pro connects to what is also a device to AC it still hangs to 9 mob/s.  Now it was getting a few days before when I had my time capsule base station wireless (n) with speed of 50-60, I know this isn't my Ethernet cable in the wall. all the recommendations I would appreciate your

    From your description of the problem, it seems that AirPort Extreme in question, is either misconfigured or is defective.

    I suggest that you first try a 'default' reset on this base station and then use AirPort Utility to set up your mobile network. If this fails to solve the problem, it may be defective and you need to replace.

  • Extend my extreme network with another extreme - waiting for internet access

    Hello - I have a new generation Airport Extreme (let's call it Extreme1) connected to a Comcast modem and it works very well. The extreme will be the router that the modem has no router function. I'm trying to expand my network to another room with another extreme (let's call it Extreme2). I have a connection cable between two rooms. Extreme1 has an ethernet cable from one of its LAN ports connected on port WAN Extreme2. When I try to create a new network with Extreme2 (in aid of the same name, passwords, etc.) it does not work. He was suspended at the end when he is looking for a connection ("Waiting for internet access")-I did the following things based on what I read here:

    1. Changed IPv6 link local parameters
    2. Tried the whole upward on my Macbook and tried on my iphone
    3. The Wan first and then tried to change the configuration after you done for Extreme2 by creating a network
    4. Tried to create a network with Extreme2 connected directly to the modem
    5. Extreme2 factory reset after every attepmt

    And nothing works. Kicker is, I also have a reasonably new airport express and the same thing happens to her as well.

    Do I need to adjust some parameters of network that I'm not aware of? Is it possible that my LAN ports are disabled on Extreme2? It is brand new.

    Thanks for any help.

    Have you used the Apple Setup Assistant?  If you did, it had notified you that the extreme second was being configured "add using Ethernet. The wizard will automatically configure the second airport with the appropriate settings for you.  All you have to do is enter a name of device for the second AirPort Extreme.

    Here I'm assuming that you reset the second extreme to parameters by default until you set it up again and that your second Extreme is the current version of the "tower" or that of previous versions "flat or square.

    The example below shows an AirPort Express as the device which is the extension of the network, but you will see the name of your network and AirPort Extreme on your configuration screen.

    Post back if you need some tips on using the "Wizard" for your configuration.
