• Setting up a Wi - Fi connection and roaming off same Airport Extreme

  I have a Wi - Fi network at home using an Airport Extreme (high cube) and two airport expresses. It works very well for the main house. But I want to get wireless to my new office located in a room adjacent to the garage. I ran the Cat5 cable to the room, bought an Airport Express and I try to connect via cable. Airport utility sees it as a new Airport Extreme, which tells me that the connections are good, but when he goes to set it up, I get a message "unexpected error". So clearly I'm something wrong, or not to do something - I don't have any idea. I can't use the wireless feature to get a signal to the new office because the walls of the House are plaster.

  Thanks for any help on this matter.

  Please move the new AirPort Express Terminal very close to your "main" AirPort Extreme

  Locate a short, spare Ethernet cable... no matter what length will make

  Turning off the 'main' AirPort Extreme as well as your other two airport expresses

  Restart the 'main' AirPort Extreme and to let a minute, but keep the other two airport expresses power off for now

  Restart your Mac as well

  Turn on the new Airport Express for a minute or two

  Pressed the reset button on the back of the new Express for 7-8 seconds, then release and allow a minute for the Express start slow, flashing amber light status

  Connect the short Ethernet cable from one of the three LAN <-->spare ports on AirPort Extreme 'main' on the 'O' WAN port on the AirPort Express Terminal

  Run again through the configuration

  If the Express set up correctly, it shuts down and move it to the new location at the end of the long Ethernet cable and then power back up again.  If the Ethernet cable is not working properly, the Express will work correctly.

  Then, turn on your other two AirPort Express devices.

• 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.

  Amy help would be highly appreciated.

  Yes, you can partition an external hard drive.

  You have used Express instead of the extreme...

  HDD 2 TB to my AirPort Express 802.11ac

  Clearly a foul strike but just so you know... Express do not support the USB hard drives.

  Buy the right USB is crucial to the success of this... not all the work... some not at all, some not reliable.

  I ran Touro successfully... others are using LaCie...

  Compatibility of USB drive with routers from the airport. Contribute to the database.

  Just be careful...

• How to install 4 Airport extrem on the same switch?

  Hi, I have 4 AIRPORT EXTREM, how to install the 4 on a switch? Settings?

  I have 4 Wifi access point in the House.

  Thanks for your help... Sorry for my English

  Each end is configured in Bridge mode.

  Go to airport utility and click on the extreme and go to the network tab.

  

  If you want roaming network configure each extreme with the same wireless name and the same password and the security setting.

  For now leave the automatic channels but it may need repair to the top work.

  

• AirPort Extreme open ports

  I used my iPhone to scan my home network using AirPort Extreme. I found 3 open ports on the extreme of the airport as follows:

  53 dns

  5009 apple airport admin wap

  10000 web webmin Linux admin tool based on

  Here is the screenshot

  

  I'm a super newbie to the airport. I would like to ask what is the 10000 port for? Why is there a Linux administration tool in an apple product?

  This is an excellent reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202944

  And more generic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

  Note that ports above 1023 including 10000 could be anything and should generally not be worried.  It seems that 10000 is for example used for VoIP call.  So, being identified as Webmin is probably a false decision simply because who uses also 10000.

• 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.

  

• 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 will not read Time Capsule trying to create network roaming

  I have read all the forums on that alone and became frustrated. I am creating a roaming network for a time at an airport extreme capsule. I followed the directions of countless times without success. Time Capsule is set to DHCP and Nat, while the extreme is in Bridge Mode and has the exact same name and password network settings. Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works. In fact, this is how I am writing this post right now! My problem is that the Airport extreme will not even read the time capsule at all. Can someone help me please? A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace? I don't know what that means. Sorry to be a pain.

  has the exact same name and password network settings.

  Just to double check that you mean the password and the name of wireless... not the base station name and password the names of base station must be different.

  Now, I have to say that the ethernet cable connecting is extremely long (well over 100 meters) and I know that the connection will degrade, some, but my lap top is able to capture the signal when I connect it directly to the cable coming from the time Capsule, so I know that the cable works.

  To the limit sometimes the gradient exceeds just slower... it does not connect.

  If you check the laptop goes to the Advanced preferences network ethernet to the last tab has the speed dropped to 10Mbit? The extreme is not able to go as low automatically... and unfortunately there is no controls for the later models.

  

  What model is your extreme?

  If it's a Gen5 or an earlier version... you can use older airport utility to set the speed of the wan port. This feature is removed from models later, of course... and the AU later so does she. If you can go try it using full duplex 10mbit. If that works try 100mbit full duplex, but you might find it's too fast.

  

  A friend told me that I might have to configure the router second to accept the connection at a slower pace?

  Your friend has a good idea.

  I would have cut the cable in the middle... and put an end to both ends. Then place a switch on the line (not a router). A switch is a bit like an amplifier. It is to retransmit the signal so it can go another 100M...

  The other issue is on pairs... If you have installed this cable yourself and terminated yourself you were affecting the pairs?

  Ethernet is delicate to the wire because of its origins as the wiring phone... where the Center pair is for the phone.

  MacBook won't connect to the Internet via long cable?

  Here is a very similar problem to yours... was bad ethernet endpoints. Break the pairs at your own risk.

• The most extreme airport in roaming network.

  I should create a WiFi for 50 people. Simultaneous connections number supports both the airport extreme, roving networked?

  Specifications for Apple AirPort Extreme for say 50 users for each AirPort Extreme, so with 2 airports, it would be total 100 users.

  http://www.Apple.com/Airport-extreme/specs/

  Things would be really slow with 100 users, but 50 users should be OK with 2 airports.

• If I can do an Airport Extreme mobile network with a modem/router cable xfinity manufactured by Cisco?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  Can I create an Airport Extreme (current generation) network of roaming with a cable modem/router xfinity manufactured by Cisco (DPC3939 to be exact)?

  Yes, if the Airport Extreme will be connected to the Cisco DPC3939 back using wired Ethernet wired, permanent.

  The modem-router Cisco/Xfinity put into bridge mode?

  No. I you have done this, the Cisco/Xfinity device would only act as a simple modem... so it would not be a wireless service to all.

  A note of caution here... the support document you are referencing... Wi - Fi base stations: install and configure a roaming network (802.11 a/b/g/n)... use the examples that are long outdated does not follow with the versions present on a Mac AirPort Utility or iPhone/iPad.

  There are some good general information in the document.

• Time capsule and extreme; Cannot create the roaming network

  Problem: when you try to create a network roaming with time capsule and extreme, the wifi hangs and the network is up and down. Here are my deets:

  TC and extreme as well have the latest firmware of the 7.7.7 are the latest generation of products, purchased in the last 12 months

  TC is connected to Arris SB6183

  ISP is Cox North san diego County

  TC is then connected to the netgear GS105. (upstairs)

  NETGEAR GS105 then connects to GS108 (down in the patch panel in the closet of the master bedroom)

  1 x GS108 port connects to extreme

  I can get the stable network and works correctly as long as I don't have connected and extreme.

  I followed the instructions provided by apple in their "how to set up a roaming network.

  I have hard reset the devices apple repeatedly in my attempt to get things to work

  I started a Wan shortly ago at the connected WiFi and that was stable and work for not more than 30 minutes and then it went offline.

  So here I am now. Unable to get back online and stable with two apple devices connected network.

  System was stable and working well before the upgrade to 7.7.7. I had a wifi connected network not a roaming network at the time.

  Any suggestion would be great and really appreciated.

  Thank you

  After screenshots of the TC and AE installing airport utility.

  I suspect that you simply have something set wrong...

  Main error is to use extend wireless when it is connected by ethernet... This will create a loop and bring down the network.

  The two units must be defined to create a wireless network... both must use the same name (SSID) and the same password, but must be set to different channels.

  It is almost impossible in this case crashing the network since the two are completely independent Wireless Access Points... (WAP).

  The TC must be in router mode... EI must be in the bridge (bridge mode off on the network tab.)

• set up a branch to the main ethernet using Airport Extreme network

  Could someone help me with this network configuration please?

  I rent an office and we have an ethernet cable coming into our building to the main network (a fiber broadband building next door). The ethernet line give you IP addresses and internet link.

  I would like to set up our own network in our building-

  1 / would put an Airport Extreme there is the ethernet cable and then plug the cable into the WAN port

  2 / I would implement the EA to distribute IP addresses, but using a different pool - so if the main building uses 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.256, I would be created my AE to use 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.256

  3 / I would then run an ethernet cable between the port LAN on EI to my Netgear 24 port switch.

  4 / I would connect all our other airport extreme and express again our Ethernet switch and put them all to 'bridge mode '. The switch ethernet cables may be connected to the WAN ports on these airports.

  Anyone see any problem here? We would just to have control over our own IP addresses and be able to restart our Airport Extreme, if we must, do not rely on the building next door to the distribution of intellectual property. I know still need to answer on them for the internet connection, but that's fine.

  Thank you!

  It should work. It would be the basis of a network of mobile type.

  A word of caution. With the exception of the "main" AirPort Extreme that performs as a router, connect the other base stations using their respective ports of LAN. We found some inconsistencies when a base station is in bridge mode and the connection is their WAN port.

• AirPort Extreme: extend only 5 GHz network

  I have a Time Capsule 802.11n (4th generation) set up to expand my WiFi network at our show in the stairs.

• How to create a network redundant ISP failover using 2 Airport Extreme

  Hello friends,

  I have 2 different lines of rented ISP related to my Airport Extreme 2. Was curious to know if these 2 AEs can be interconnected somehow to create a network of ISP failover. Users on AE 1 traffic would be transparent reassigned to the AE 2 and vice versa, if corresponding ISP fails. When the access provider is in place, they will return to their AE in elementary school.

  Thank you.

  Not without a smart dual wan router. That is to say done good load sharing.

  Extreme is about as simple a router you can find... He has the absolute minimum of functionality.

  Users on AE 1 traffic would be reassigned transparent to the AE 2 and vice versa

  You can do this by using some manual intervention... a simple change of entry door is usually sufficient.
