Not switching devices not between the bases of the airport?

Hi all!

I write because that through my research, I have not found quite the answer.

I have 5 Airport extreme (AP) in my house. One of them is connected to the ISP (this also ISP DHCP box) box. All of them are set up to extend wifi as a long string.

The problem I have is that I can't connect the AP via ethernet, creating a network of "roving". Is it possible to approach but?

Because currently my devices switch base station that I propose. If I was connected to the AP1 and I'm still in the range of it, I don't connect at the base next to me (which has a faster speed of the internet) and my connection is slow/drops.

Is there a solution?

Thank you!

Best

The problem here is that wireless between the airports will not quite work... If they work at all.

You have a 'main' AirPort Extreme connected to your ISP modem/router using an Ethernet cable, and the airport is to 'create' the main wireless network... is that correct?

And, you want the other 4 airports to extend wireless signal from the 'main' airport... is that correct?

If so, then all the following 'rules' must be applied:

(1) your 'main' AirPort Extreme must be at the heart of your home

(2) each airport expansion must be on the same distance from the AirPort Extreme

(3) each extension airport should be located, as it is closer to the 'main' than any other Airport Extreme AirPort which is the extension of the network

The reason is that Apple offer wireless are works such as the hub and the spokes of a wheel.  AirPort Extreme 'main' would be 'hub' and each of the 4 Extenders would be located at the end of the separate 4 "rays". In this way, each extension connects directly to the 'main'... airport which is the only way an airport can extend wireless network.

In other words, you cannot "extend" the network several times. Although you can have multiple extensions, each of them must be connected directly to the "main" airport  They cannot connect to another airport that extends the network already and lay it again.

So, please tell us how well your current configuration meets the 3 above for a comprehensive wireless network.

  • Software JetDirect 380 X can not see the airport card in the laptop G4 PPC

    Hello

    I tried to add a customer to the airport. It's a LaserJet 1200. But the software that comes with the JetDirect tells me to install an Airport card in the laptop. Now I can join hpsetup and print to the LJ 1200. But in practice I have to disconnect from the internet and the map Airport.  So, I know the JetDirect and LaserJet 1200 work very well. I tried different settings on the airport, but nothing has really changed the software on the laptop not finding the Airport card.

    Now I have a WOW goes a Xsense MIH 130 Xrouter, then go to the Airport Express Terminal. All Mac desk top of page 933mh, 1.67 ghz powerbooks. I use OSX10.4 to 10.5.8.  I don't know if the router is the problem or if the parameter in the jetdirect should be changed to the ad-hoc to something else. Don't know how to do this. With it, do not see the map Airport, I can't do the enbedded 192.0.0.192. There are a lot of maybe if I do this or if I do this it might work. Since the configuration of the printer in the TCP/IP section page everything below the line, Config by: is not specified.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Well again I was able to get to the stage 1.6 (in 10.5.8 printing Center is not the same). I could remove the printer that was working on its own network of HP. But was unable to add a printer in 0SX 10.5. Perhaps through IP printing, but do I put as the address? It is the site of HP to get instructions on a 380 X and another printer.

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?lang=en & CC = US & TaskID = 115 & prodSeriesId = 29789 & prodTypeId = 18972 & prodSeriesId = 29789 & objectid = c00257796

    Maybe I should to the left of the printer, but I've changed the SSID in the jetdirect to match the network. The IP printer 192.0.0.192 or 192.0.0.193 or just use the network name it was changed to?

    To close, but I thought a few times.

    Hi all

    I am unable to cut and paste (text) or drag-and - drop (files) between the client and host and vice versa.

    I am running Windows 7 (32-bit) guest on a host Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    Seems I solved the problem.  It comes down to User Account Control (UAC) prompt (in my case Windows 7 (32 bit).  I have disabled UAC in the comments and drag and drop / cut and paste now works like a charm.

    Autologin also now works. I had not tried to set up that more early.  That's where I read an article to disable UAC for AutoLogin work.

    My VMWare tools icon now displays in the system tray.

    I hope this helps someone else out there!

  • Time Machine (on Mac) does not detect the airport Time Capsule

    Originally posted on the page of the airport, but seems to be the better question for this group. Sorry for the double post

    Looking for advice on how to get the Time Machine utility for access to my Time Capsule. I use an iMac in late 2012 with MAC OS 10.12 TimeCapsule is 2015 7.7.7 running latest firmware. Airport utility is the latest firmware 6.3.7.

    When I run the application Time Machine, Time Capsule is not detected. I tried the two WiFi and with cables connected Ethernet (not tried USB yet) and my Time Capsule doesn't have a lightning bolt or firewire ports.

    Open Airport utility & see the airport time capsule. I can see all connected devices, including the MAC, but no prompt activation Time Machine on the Time Capsule.

    I recently used TM on this iMac with a G-Technology drive. It auto detects the time machine and executes a back up. But airport Time Capsule will not.

    Any suggestions?

    Sierra has been problematic with the TC.

    1. make sure you don't have any charge virus protection software. In fact, I would say that disable all software 3rd part at the moment.

    2. make sure that you can actually write to disk of TC.

    Attach the TC disc in the finder and copy a file on disk, you can delete it later... It's just to ensure that you have full write permission. If it does not for the most part, you won't be able to use Time Machine... If you can then try TM immediately...

    Just to be clear, the TC is a network device. You have tested with ethernet and wireless... Ok.. They are only suitable methods. You cannot use USB. And clearly, TC has never had nor will never be ports Firewire or lightning.

    3. no chance that a reset complete TC. This will not delete the files on the hard drive, but you must make sure that the device is configured on the current computer.

    4. There are many positions in these days... read through them and do some research. Sierra is a bleeding edge new... So wait you to spend a lot of the precious liquid if you choose to be an early adopt.

  • 5 ghz not listed is not on the Airport Express

    My 2.4 Ghz network is fine and my 5 GHz appears on some devices.

    It does not appear on my Smart TV and my TV from fire.  Both devices have seen my old 5 Ghz router.

    I'll put something wrong?

    The 5 GHz band is limited in scope. Where is the Terminal AirPort situated Express regarding the Smart TV & TV of fire? What exact model of the AirPort Express you have? Y at - it other routers (wireless or not) in your current network configuration?

    Your 5 GHz network uses a name of network with spaces or special characters? Your network is hidden?

    Hello

    Without any operation in which I run on the result of stopover 'in use' tape library readers toggle.

    and what do I start (clear, scan, inventory, backup, you name it...) translates the above behavior.

    I can see all the slots and all the tapes with the correct bar codes in the Backup Exec library.

    I finally had to cancel the work after a while. 40 minutes to erase a tape should be enough I think.

    When I insert a tape to the library in a drive using the web interface library, it does not show the devices to BE, it is shown only if it is still in a slot.

  • Time Capsule will not extend the Airport Extreme network

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report) offers a WiFi modem. I have a Time Capsule 4 G which extends the network. This works well for a few years now. Suddenly, the CAP began flashing yellow. Time capsule said Airport utility cannot extend the network and I should make sure the password is correct, that it is in the signal of a network, etc. I went through the settings of the time capsule by ensuring that passwords are correct. It is certainly within the range of the signal of the airport extreme (they are both in the same place as always... Besides, I put my iPhone next to the time capsule and I get a signal strong). I tried a hard reset of the time capsule. Of course, this does not work.

    Time Capsule seems to be communicating with the computer very well. I can access it via the Airport utility and reboot. I can access the data on its disk backup. Airport Extreme is to give a signal of good wi - fi connection. I'm still able to pick it up with my computer (even if my computer is far more than the time capsule).

    Someone has an idea of what's going on?

    Given that the Capsule does not correctly connect unless everything is OK with the AirPort Extreme... I suggest that you turn off the time Capsule for now and check that everything works correctly on the AirPort Extreme.

    My airport extreme (do not know what version... can't even find it in the system report)

    You say that the AirPort Extreme does not appear when you open AirPort Utility?

    If so, press and hold the option on your Mac key while you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme.

    Model of the AirPort Extreme, you will appear at the top of the summary page. What is it?

    Near the bottom of the summary page, check to see if there is a parameter that is displayed for the State.  If there is, what is the message next to status?

  • provider changed vague Qwest and now one device connects to the net.  Seems to not be recognizing the airport extreme.  Patches?

    Decided to change providers.  Network domestic fine fixed by extreme airport which has been consulted by 9 apple devices and windows device.  After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.  Is this a problem with my airport extreme or vague does not not with mac?  All the patches would be appreciated.

    After the wave was installed yesterday, the only device able to connect is the cell that was active at the time of installation.

    Sounds like Installer connected your laptop directly to a modem to put in place the new connection.  If that's what happened, then the modem will recognize your laptop, but it will not recognize the AirPort Extreme, then it will appear as if only your laptop can get a connection.

    The modem and AirPort Extreme should probably be reset and then set it up again. We'll know more soon.

    Can you provide the number of brand and model of the modem that was shipped with your service?

  • Unknown device on network adapter between the laptop and the wireless router

    I am running windows 7 64 bit on a laptop computer connected wireless to the router and internet.  The router is Linksys WRT160N connected to the internet.  The map of the network, there is a question mark device unknown between the laptop and the router.  However, I still have access to the internet.  In terms of network, if I hover over the laptop, it does not show an IP address.  It only shows the name of the computer and its MAC address.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Solved my problem.  I checked the button of the IPv6 protocol in the properties of a network connection on the laptop, and now I can see it's the IP address and the unknown device has been replaced by a switch and hub which is part of the router.   I do not uncheck the button IPV4.  I'm guessing that it is a bug in Windows 7 that you need to cut of ipV6 Protocol when you have a Win XP computer on the network if you want to see a map of own network.  As I said before, everything worked before, so this seems to be a cosmetic fix only.  I see that my shared files on the XP computer appear faster after a reboot.

  • Notes, not in the same Apple account synchronization

    My user's devices: iMac iPad iOS 9.3.2 and iPhone iOS 9.3.2 10.11.5,

    It has 2 accounts iCloud: [email protected] and [email protected]

    The iMac has only [email protected] configured as the main account iCloud.

    The iPad has [email protected] configured as the main account iCloud and [email protected] as one account secondary iCloud

    Its iPhone has the configured as the main iCloud [email protected] and the [email protected] account is configured as a secondary iCloud account

    Notes is enabled on all devices and in all accounts.

    Here's the complete bizarreness...

    Notes [email protected] on his iPad and its application of iMac Notes are the same and full synchronization, BUT in the Notes of [email protected] on his iPhone is different most are and DO NOT synchronize with its iPad or iMac.

    I'm puzzled.

    Other notes & comments:

    -Notes are not saved locally on any device

    -Although [email protected] is the account main iCloud on this iPhone, the default account for the notes is [email protected]

    -When his signs in [email protected] to iCloud.com, notes to the Notes site iCloud application are the same and are in complete sync with iPhone [email protected] account ONLY.

    -If a [email protected] Note is changed or created again on his iPad, the note doesn't appear in sync on his iMac notes app and vice versa. Not on the iPhone or iCloud.com

    -If a [email protected] Note is changed or created again on his iPhone, the note appears in sync on the iCloud site Notes app and vice versa

    Any help appreciated for this problem of stadium.

    Thank you

    Well, to answer the question quite simply, in order to synchronize Notes between the three devices, each of them must be signed in with the same ID Apple/iCloud iCloud (@me.com).

    In addition, under settings > iCloud on iPhone and iPad, Notes must be turned on. Under system preferences > iCloud on Mac, Notes must be turned on.

    On the devices in the application Notes, when you click on the arrow to the left at the top on the left, make sure you use 'Notes' in iCloud.

    If you are running iOS 9 on your devices, and that you have upgraded to the latest version of Notes, Mac must be running OS X El Capitan to synchronize.

    See you soon,.

  • Several Airport Apple ID devices disappear shared devices and Software Configuration of the airport

    We have three Airport extreme and two Airport Express devices in two offices in the city.  Some time in the last two days, they all stopped appearing in the sidebar of Finder 'Shared' category (if they had attached disk storage) and they stopped from appearing in the Configuration software of the airport on any of the Mac on these networks. (They always seem to be correct, routing traffic, however).

    For a while, we left a desktop completely alone as a control group and did all our testing and troubleshooting in the other office.

    We-hard reset (to the factory configuration) all devices from the airport to an office. They began to appear again. Then we started to re - configure them again.  At the time wherever we had updated the devices they had disappeared again.

    So, another factory discount based configutations for each device to this facility. Then we added slowly in pieces of their configuration.  When airports have received Apple ID and associated passwords for associating with iCloud/BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour (depending on what you want to call it), the airport devices disappeared from the airport Setup.

    If we tried to configure another device from the airport to extend a network of 'invisible' airports, the new airports were "unable to find" one of these networks to expand.

    If we reset all devices without providing them with Apple ID and passwords, they worked mainly as you would expect. The main difference being now do not appear as having been recorded as BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour devices.

    One side for people dealing with this note: If your router are invisible, but they are configured to be configured from the EXTENSIVE worldwide network, you can use "File-> configure the other" and specify the address WAN of the missing aircraft and get this screen access as one would generally. From here, remove all the Apple ID associated with these devices, press "Refresh" to save the settings and they seem to reappear magically in the Configuration of the airport software.

    In that State, storage seems to be available, but only for devices in Domain Local (direct connection). Airports without AppleIDs will not appear in the field to iCloud/BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour, and it's as expected, given that these IDS is the means for the identification of their field.

    If someone else has noted these behaviors and if so, have an idea about specifically when they first appeared? Is there by any chance someone who knows of any change in registration or the MWAC of multiplication?

    Did you approach the problem exactly as I did in the past, and having encountered problems of the CCMM literally every version of OS X. They were all distinct problems with individual characteristics, and in some cases the solutions exist. Having said that the CCMM has been completely reliable recently - which means running the most recent El Capitan release on all my Macs. The initial versions (i.e. OS X 10.11 to 10.11.3 maybe) didn't work at all. I don't know which version fixed whatever the problem was, I am sure he has not worked for someone else.

    The same real place with Yosemite and previous versions as well. CCMM did not reliable until the exit "point three or four."

    Through these experiments, I believe it should be a pretty fast connection. If the connection between a Mac and all the others does not meet this requirement (whatever that is) all you will be able to determine, it's that the CCMM fails.

    Apple is characteristically silent about the technical aspects of the CCMM, probably because of security concerns. Nobody outside Apple knows how it works. If you're still having problems, I encourage you to contact them. After mentioning predictable you corrective raw materials (the two following links) you will be put in touch with someone who will look to what is false, providing diagnostic assistance and send your information to engineering. If it's something they should fix, you'll know not to the point of an OS X update is published.

  • How to connect the Airport express as an Extender for airport extreme to El Capitan

    I have a model extreme A1521 airport and a model express airport A1392 and upgraded my OS to El Capitan. I want to use the express as an Extender for the extreme because my old House is long and has thick walls. My problem is that Airport utility will not 'see' the express, regardless of its proximity to the main router (extreme). I tried to move and reset.

    Of course, as soon as I get the utility to see, I need instructions on how to configure the express as a booster for my extreme.

    Any ideas?

    Unplug the Express and put it in the same room as the AirPort Extreme.

    Put power on the Express for a few minutes, then hold down the reset button on the back of the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release.

    Allow a minute for the Express to restart

    Click the WiFI icon at the top of the screen of the Mac

    Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station

    Click directly on the AirPort Express Terminal

    When you click on AirPort Express, the "Wizard" will open and take a few seconds to analyze things, and then see a screen that looks like the figure below, except that you can see your cameras.

    Type a short and simple name that you want to call the Express

    Click next

    The installation wizard will take care of everything for you

    When you see the message Setup is complete, unplug the Express and move to halfway between the AirPort Extreme and the area of the House that needs more coverage of wireless signal

    Turn on the Express and you're all set

    Important note... the Express to expand the quality of the signal it receives. About half of the potential speed on the entire nextwork is lost when you extend using a wireless connection between the airports.

    It would be much better if you could connect the Express to the extreme by using wired Ethernet wired, permanent, since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable and there is always a lot of loss of signal through the air, the (thick walls especially) walls, ceilings, etc.
