• How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme Base Station (802. 11 a, c) using a relay of Airport Express (802.11n).  Airport Utility (V635.2) says that this version does not support the relay.  That is what it is?

  How can I extend the range of my Airport Extreme (802. 11 a, c) using an Airport Express (802.11n) point.  Airport (V635.2) utility does not recognize the Express on its screen?  I have to buy equipment?  I'm on a MacPro OS X 10.10.5.  Thank you.

  AirPort utility that ships with OS X 10.10.5 supports base stations as 802.11ac & 802.11n AirPort. It should be able to configure both of your base stations for a scope (wireless connected base stations) or roaming types (base station connected Ethernet) wireless networks.

  When you initially configure the Wan, it helps to keep the two base stations in the same room. Once configured, you can move the base station that extend to the desired location. The important key is that the final positioning of the station that extends the base must be understood that it's to expand in order to maintain sufficient bandwidth to the station remotely for clients from network connected.

• can I use airport express to extend the range of my Airport time capsule

  I want my airport express (model 1382) to be subordinated to the time capsule (ver. 7.7.3) and I'm on a different network. Is this possible?

  Do not know what you mean by 'subordinate' here... and you do not specify if the AirPort Express terminal connects to the Capsule using a permanent, wired Ethernet cables... or... If you want to try to have the AirPort Express to connect wireless to the time Capsule.

  The method cable would be far superior to the method wireless in terms of performance and 'slide' on the Time Capsule wireless.

  You also did not indicate what device... a Mac, an iPhone / iPad, etc that you want to use to configure the AirPort Express Terminal.

• Extend the reach of the WiFi with airport Time Capsule and Airport Express

  I want to extend the range of my WiFi network running on a Time Capsule with an Airport Extreme airport. The Internet, ADSL, signal goes from the cable box in a closet and has two Ethernet cables connecting the box. I installed a simple Ethernet switch and ran inside, with both Internet cables Ethernet Miss and in two rooms in my apartment. I created the Capsule of time like the WiFi router, then the Express in the other room in Bridge Mode to extend the range of the WiFi network and enable AirPlay. This configuration works well for a while, but after a certain time has problems. The Express seems to go back to the creation of the WiFi network on its own and I saw the problem of the conflict addreses DCHP.

  What seemed to work correctly using the Express as the "pivot" and I fell straight Internet on it and an Ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. It's far from ideal for me, however, because I like the Express to be in another room to extend the range of the WiFi network in this part of my apartment and be able to use it for AirPlay.

  Help, please.

  If you could let us know what operating system you use on your Mac or PC, we'll give you a configuration suggested for the AirPort Express, which will allow the Express and the Time Capsule to connect to the Ethernet switch and perform correctly.

  We assume that the switch and the wiring will function properly in your current configuration, as well as the time Capsule, is that correct?

• How to extend the Airport Express Wireless Network at guesthouse?

  Currently have an Airport Express (fairly new, updated). Centrally located in my house.

  I have a guest house which has a garage and a front door door aside.

  Guest House is about 56 feet from the main house.

  I can get the wifi outside, (4 bars) up to 3 feet of the guesthouse before he gets spotty or the connection is lost.

  If I go into the Guest House, I see the other neighbors networks, but not my own. (Signals strong, 4 bars).

  My question is: How can I extend the range of my network wireless in my guest house? If I need another Terminal Airport Express?

  Where would he put regarding my 1st Express?

  I would appreciate comments, thank you.

  As a first step, it may be good idea to test the different locations of the existing base station. Temporarily connect an Ethernet for inbound Internet cable. Try moving the base station to various locations. Avoid stray objects/structures (Wi - Fi and Bluetooth: potential sources of interference wireless - Apple Support).

  If necessary, an extension of the network (Wi - Fi base stations: extend the reach of your network wireless by adding additional base stations Wi - Fi - Apple Suppo...) are possible. The best way to do it would be through an Ethernet connection to the extended base station (placed in the main, if possible). Alternatively, you can test whether a link of powerline network adapter could be used instead of an Ethernet cable to the extended base station.

• Airport most convenient that the range extender today broke up after that put 7.6.7 at level

  I have two extreme airport connected with an ethernet cable, one for upstairs and one for down. One downstairs is set to extend the reach of the network wireless created by one on the floor. Also the one upstairs is configured in Bridge mode because I have a server that I use for DHCP and DNS, instead of using the airport for that. The server and the airport on the floor are connected to the same network switch.

  Everything worked very well under firmware 7.6.4. But after the upgrade to 7.6.7 and without changing any settings, now my network is terribly broken. No devices can connect to the wifi network, and the network interface on the server shows errors like "has received the package on eth1 with own address as source address" and "Null supervisors, receiver of broadcasting not ready."

  The problems went away by unplugging the airport down.  But this isn't a good solution.  I want to have both, and I want that they function as they did before.

  When you have airports connected by ethernet... YOU MAY NOT USE EXTEND WIRELESS.

  The result is the following.

  Server shows errors like "has received the package on eth1 with own address as source address" and "Null supervisors, receiver of broadcasting not ready."

  You create a loop where packets are going around and around the system.

  If you say you had it past 7.6.4 firmware and it was broken by 7.6.7 well, I can only say that he has never worked on any firmware with a switch or other device which is able to break loops.

  Return to 7.6.4 and see if it still works.

  I found that Wireless extend over 7.6.7 is more restrictive than the firmware as soon... I highly recommend 7.6.1 for it... as I can show 7.6.4 reproducible problems but it is also a case that former airports are losing just their WILL... I had success extend wireless who recently failed... and it's purely too big range... considering that it used to work properly. Which shows that the products are just slow decline.

  I also get numbers of the absurdity of airport utility that I still don't understand.

  for example. I got the link to work on a new Gen5 TC (refuses to bind on Gen4 TC)

  

  If I click on the unknown link, it shows a link 450Mbps speed which is impossible. The RSSI is also what you would get with the two devices within 1 foot of the other (30 cm) No 20 M through several walls and a floor.

  The end of TCgen5 by using the utility v5.6, I see the actual rate...

  

  The link is showing 54 Mbit/s and a signal-78dB which makes much more sense. Unfortunately the other end does not record again... and the value 0 for the noise is also wrong.

  Noise on the latest diagnostics wireless displays 0 for a lot of wireless.

  

  Something rotten in the world of the Apple to the end... What with the CCMM giving a total mess to Airport utility if people use it...

• Extend the DSL router?

  I just got internet frontier DSL, and it comes with a wireless router & modem Netgear 7550. I would use my Airport Extreme to extend the reach of wifi at the front of my house and also plug my Airport Express to print wireless, and play music. How can I do this? I don't know anything about networks. Thank you!

  Ask Frontier to replace your modem/router with just a modem, so you can use your own router. Or, if the device has an Ethernet port for the computer, and then connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the modem/router and the port of world on the AEBS. Jam the device border so that the wireless radio is turned off. You should be able to extend the AEBS wireless using your AEX to print and play music.

  Network Apple devices do not extend the networks of non-Apple routers unless you run Ethernet cables for Apple devices installed remotely.

• Newbie needing advice on the purchase of equipment to expand the range of WAG160N wireless

  Hello

  I'm new to the Board and I would like to ask a question in 'newbie '.

  What product to buy to extend the reach of my WAG160N wireless router?  Am I limited to Cisco products or bridge/Repeater of another manufacturer would work?

  I the main connection in a garage renovated (at the forward end of the House) at the bottom and unfortunately the signal falls severely on the floor and the back of the House there are some walls of concrete between the two.  The intensity of the signal in the children and the main rooms are not reliable and therefore acts of procedure of the family to "do something, Dad!"

  I have the possibility of a connection to local network of WAG160N, through the wall of a Repeater.  If so, what would be the most logical and hassle-free purchase (Cisco or otherwise)?

  Any advice would be gladly entertained as I want to do my research before hitting the stores.

  You can go for WAP4410N is the device that can communicate with the wireless router and can help you get the best range of wireless network.

• Impossible to extend the existing wi - fi with time capsule airport

  Hello

  I have one Capsule of airport TB 2 hung on an Ethernet in my study (lower level).

  I already have an existing wi - fi network to ISP modem/router to my media box provided at the top level.

  In addition, I have an Extender provided by the ISP of lower level.

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  I tried several times to do so, but either it freezes up or creates its own network despite the

  mode bridge as stated in Airport utility.

  Guide gently with the method or Protocol correct to put that in place.

  Thank you

  Jay

  I would try to expand the scope of the wi - fi with my time capsule without creating an additional network.

  It sounds like you may try to extend the network of your "main" router wireless

  The time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network if your 'main' router is also an Apple AirPort base station.  Or... in other words if your 'main' router is not an Apple product, then the time Capsule will not be able to extend wireless network.

  So, the first question to ask here would be... What is the number of brand and model of your router "main"?

  If you intend to leave the time Capsule connected to your main router with an Ethernet connection, the Capsule must have the maximum value of "create a wireless network.  If you use the same wireless network name and password using your 'main' router, Time Capsule will provide additional wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

• How to extend the life of my MacPro 2006 1.1?

  I'm hoping to extend the life of my 2006 MacPro1.1, whose startup disk has developed a Squeak. I have received conflicting advice from vendors on a possible solution and would like knowledgeable opinions.

  Here is a partial configuration:

  A Macintosh 500 GB HDD with 87 GB available.

  A hard disk of 1 TB with 332 GB

  A hard disk of 2 TB with 1.3 to

  I'm running OS X 10.6.8

  Is 6 GB memory

  My Time Machine backup measures about 1.8 to

  Option 1. A local store recommended I have delete the 2 TB drive and restore the backup any here, which makes my new startup disc. My concern is that there is very little free space on this drive and an already slow computer would become even slower.

  Option 2. A seller of phone encouraged me to replace my 500 GB hard drive with an SSD, which according to him would be much faster than what I have now.

  You choose Option 1 or 2, or another altogether?

  Thank you very much

  Peter

  The hard drive containing the boot the Mac volume has failed and must be replaced. An SSD is an interesting option.

• With the help of a second domestic airport to extend the network

  I have an Airport Extreme (MD031LL/A), connected to a modem via an ethernet cable and it works perfectly as a WiFi router for my house. I have also an Airport Express (MC414LL/A) I want to use as a second router to extend the reach of the Wifi signal, which works when connected via a cable to the Airport Extreme (continuous green light), but when I unplug the ethernet cable the Airport Express falls out of the network (Amber led flashing). I've updated the router time firmwear and repowered and reset everything, including 'forget' the devices via the Airport utility which I got on my MacBook Pro, but not luck. Books Online says the network should see the second router, waiting with flashing light amber, but it does not work.

  Any suggestions?

  Please note, it is not ideal for me running extended ethernet cable, I would like to as the relay to be wireless.

  I am assuming that you are using a Mac running a current or recent operating system... or... you use the installer on an iPhone or an iPad, right?

  If you want the AirPort Express to extend wireless signal in AirPort Extreme... then you would not use an Ethernet cable to the configuration... Since the installer detects the Ethernet connection and configure the AirPort Express Terminal accordingly.

  However, if you are able to locate the Airport Express where you need more coverage... and... an Ethernet cable from the Express back to AirPort Extreme... which must remain connected permanently... This would be the way to go.  The reason is that you will lose about half of the potential speed on the entire network when you try to Express to extend the network using a wireless connection.

  But, if you can not run the cable, you can not.  If you need a little more advice on installation, after return to confirm how the Express connect to AirPort Extreme and let us know what operating system is installed on the device you will use to configure the Express.

• Extend the network wireless with roaming function

  Hello

  I was looking for some advice on my project to the top. I currently have my SKY router (wifi off) connected to an older time capsule which is almost full, so I'm about to buy a new one and I can use the old one plus one new airport extreme/express to extend the network of thought. I think three points would be best as its quite a large sector, I wish to address. I would like that it either under one SSID using the roaming capabilities I've read are possible with the airports and would hand off a signal strong etc.

  Unfortunately, I don't have the option of it being fully wired but planned to use the powerline rather than wifi adapters because I don't want to lose too much speed. I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

  Can someone advise if the setting above would work or if there is a better way (without cabling package together) and if I would be best for extreme or the express for the 3rd point?

  If anyone has any configuration Advisor if this is the best set up then that would be also appreciated?

  Thank you very much

  Iain

  I use power lines now an extension of netgear and performance are pretty good with very little loss, although the multiple SSID bothers me so want to change.

  Configure each extension to use the exact same network name (SSID), the same level of security wireless and same password wireless. Then you will have a roaming network.

• iPad does not connect to the Wifi on the range 192.168.0. *.

  I have an iPad Mini (ME860BA) on os 9.3.1 that would not connect to my wifi at home.  He began to abandon their studies repeatedly a few months before and then just wouldn't connect at all.  It is on the os 9.3 so I upgraded to 9.3.1 but it did not help.  I was able to connect using a hotspot from my phone but no go on the real wifi. Sometimes it seems impossible to connect and others it seems to connect but without the wifi icon that appear (and internet access). All other devices connect to the House without exception (or question) - it's just my iPad.

  I followed every bit of advice I've found - turning wifi off & on, forgetting network, reset all the network settings, hard reboot, reboot normal, turning airplane mode turn off again, go up the brightness of the screen (odd) and finally I restored my router and the iPad to factory settings.  Nothing worked, so I took him to a store of Apple and waiting for the genius to see me I thought I would try to connect to the wifi and it went all right!  I felt a little silly to start with but they still took a look and said that he had 'something' bad, but they didn't know what.  Their best guess was that it was something to do with password authentication because they are client wifi has no password.  I returned home and disabled the security mode of the router - I have a Virgin Superhub running the 2.4 and 5 GHz primary wireless networks - no amount of adjusting the security modes (remove the password, make visible SSID, change of Protocol) makes all the difference.  However, knowing that it worked on wifi from Apple in the store, I was really puzzled.

  After ages bother with different parameters (especially in my router), I now know why it does not connect to home... My Virgin router to short on a range of address DHCP IP of 192.168. 0. * and my iPad suddenly won't connect unless the beach is 192.168. 1. * or higher.  (It connected OK for 2 years).  It took weeks to find this out, but at least now I can connect.  I turned on the wifi of comments because it uses the gamme.1.  Everything is good, connects the first time, every time!  I have not tried establishing a password (I was so happy, it connected I left because it was... well as I switch on the MAC filtering, for a little extra protection) I could try side password later and if it still connect, I'll update my post.

  My solution is very well when I'm at home but is not going to help if I get the iPad with me - it will be hit & miss if I can get the WiFi also.  Must be set correctly - I see no that it is hardware related, so there must be a bug in the software/firmware.

  Anyone having problems connecting to wifi can try the workaround network comments - at least it will get you.

  Is there a future fix for this?

  Re: iPad wifi suddenly does not save

  Change the range on the router you want to connect to.

• Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

  Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

  Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

  I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

  Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

• How to use TPLink WD8961ND to extend the time Capsule

  I'm currently have Airport Extreme and Time Capsule.

  Time capsule is the main base, extreme is configured as extended wireless.

  I have an old TPLink WD8961ND adsl wireless router, and now it is no longer used. I'm trying to use again as another scope wireless with time capsule as the main basis wireless.

  But I can not configure properly the configuration. TPlink can act as a wireless bridge (using WDS), but time capsule does support WDS? Is it possible to use as a wireless extended tplink using timecapsule as main base?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Benny.

  I have an old TPLink WD8961ND adsl wireless router, and now it is no longer used. I'm trying to use again as another scope wireless with time capsule as the main basis wireless.

  You may know that Apple uses parameters exclusive for their feature 'extend a wireless network', which are designed to allow only other Apple devices to "extend" the wireless network.

  Thus, while it was possible somehow for the TP-Link device do what you want... It also very unlikely to be able to do what you want.

  TPlink can act as a wireless bridge (using WDS), but time capsule does support WDS?

  Apple dropped support WDS, over 3 years ago. Even if WDS were always taken care... WDS runs at a speed much more slow 'g' wireless and use outdated security settings, so there is no advantage to using these older settings, even if you could.

  Unless you have tons of time your hands for the experience and a lot of patience, my advice would be extending wireless... and look at a configuration where the TP-Link is permanently connected to the Apple router by using the connection cable wired Ethernet TP-Link.
