Should I still have AirPort Extreme with Arris TG1682G?

I have an Apple Airport Extreme Wi - Fi to my home on 3 floors (basement, ground floor and attic).

The week last Xfiniti sent me a new "Wireless Gateway," which they recommend that I use.

It is model Arris TG G 1682 and supposed to give service 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz.

Can I use this, it is faster or more strong signal through walls, etc. or continue to use my Airport Extreme?

Thanks for any help!

Alan.

Nobody has a crystal ball that will be good enough to see your network performance, so that we cannot provide an answer for you about the question of whether you should use the gateway Arris or AirPort Extreme.

Use your laptop to connect and check the connection Wireless at various locations around the House using the signal from the bridge of Arris.

Then, do the same thing by using the AirPort Extreme signal.

If you find the gateway Arris delivers a better signal than AirPort Extreme, then you need not in AirPort Extreme unless you want to have a separate network for guests or children.

If you find that the AirPort Extreme works better than the Arris gateway, you can use the signal from the gateway for a network of comments or children. If you do not need a network comments or children, you might want to disable wireless on the bridge to reduce the number of wireless networks in your area.

  • The Airport Extreme with Time Machine and HD 1 t

    I have an Airport Extreme with built-in hard drive of 1 t. My iMac has a 1 t hard drive too. Time Machine has successfully supported the HD integrated for a few years now, but he can't. The message said: he needs 2.7 T. Why would it need to back up a hard drive of 1 t?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list, so everything there should be backup is the HD 1 t, which still has unused space on it. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a few other connected external drives but I made sure to remove them from the Time Machine backup list

    I think that you include perhaps instead of with the exception of the...

    If you look at time Machine... the list of disks, you should have is excluded... If remove you it from the list of the excluded, they are included...

    It is opposite to almost anything else, I saw where you include on the list of things.

    In this menu area, you must have all of the listed external hard drives. Because they are excluded not included... If your list is empty as mine... then all are INCLUDED.

  • Extend an AirPort Extreme with a Terminal AirPort Express increasing the number of users?

    I have an AirPort Extreme 2 years ago. Based on the technical page of the product, the router can theoretically connect up to 50 users. That's more than enough if used at home.

    However, I intend to deploy a network of airports in our new office building and we have more or less 50 employees. Because everyone has a smartphone that it needs to connect, I try to at least 100 users/devices. Which includes all the network printers. Obviously, an AirPort Extreme is not enough. Another thing, I have considered is that the office building is 2 floors and all the walls are made of concrete, which means the distribution of the wifi signals is affected.

    I thought to extend an AirPort extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (mobile network). It's 2 APs on each floor. That should solve the problem of distribution wifi. I'm not sure the first problem - 100 or more devices into a single network.

    So extending an AirPort Extreme with 3 more AirPort Expressare (making a roaming network with 4 access points) increases the number of potential users of 50 to 200 (assuming that each access point can connect to 50 users)?

    In theory, Yes.  But you must take this specification of 50 users with a grain of salt.  Once there are 20-25 users on the same airport access point, things will slow down significantly. The system will operate as of cold molasses with up to 50 users on the same access point.

    Quite frankly, in a business application, you need a software router. Apple routers are designed for home use.

    Another way to say the same thing, is that Apple does not routers Apple at the Apple Store. Who could tell more than anything whatsoever about the suitability of the products in your proposed network.

    My advice would be to get an IT professional in and review your needs... before you move further.

  • How to configure Airport Extrem with OS El Capitan?

    Hello, I need help to set up airport Extrem with the OS X El Capitan. The system always show the same question:

    You will not be able to administer the old 802.11 g with your Mac OS X El Capitan AirPort base stations.

    Basically, you have three options:

    1. Replace the Express with a newer 802.11n model.
    2. Use a Mac with OS X Lion or earlier version.
    3. Use a Windows XP or Windows 7 PC.
  • I have Airport extreme, but need more coverage... is there a solution?

    I have Airport Extreme and need coverage more wide/more strong... it's available somehow?

    Ideally, the AirPort Extreme should be located in the center of your home, so the distance that a wireless signal has to travel to reach the outer parts of the House would be roughly equal.

    AirPort Extreme is set to broadcast 100% of power, so the only way that you will be able to increase the range of the signal is to add one or more airports to "extend" the wireless network.

  • Can I have 2 Airport Extreme with running in a single wired network DHCP server

    Hello friends,

    Just a teenager from the windows world crawling as a child in the MAC world.

    I'm curious to know if we can have 2 extreme airport, acting as 2 DHCP servers in the same local network. I really doubt if it is possible, but still want to have Advisor by experts. I am considering a wired LAN. If possible, please help me understand how this can be done in detail.

    Thank you.

    In fact, you can. The key is to assign different DHCP scopes for each base station in the same IP address space.

    For example, you could assign the range 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.99 to a base station and have the other on: 10.0.1.100 via 10.0.1.200.

    You set the DHCP scope or range using AirPort Utility, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility.
    • Select the base and then station, select change.
    • Select the network tab.
    • Select Network Options...
    • The range is set with the option "IPv4 DHCP Range".

    But the question would be why would you?

  • Problem of AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express network expansion

    I have a dual-band Airport Extreme 802.11n that I bought in 2012 which is currently my home wireless network. I am trying to extend the network with a new AirPort Express with the AirPort 6.3.6 utility running OS 10.11 on an iMac. The Airport Express appears in the option other Wi - Fi devices. When I select it, AirPort utility tries to connect and then I get this message "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. "Try again does not lead to a different result, and I can't seem to find useful information in the documents support or conversations. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    It should be easy enough to operate the express, but you must tell us all the info.

    Configure the Express in the same room as the extreme.

    Using wireless to expand? Then you simply plug power in the Express... and it should pretty much automatically connect to the extreme.

    If you want to extend through ethernet, you should connect the Express in the extreme and make sure that the configuration of the airport utility selects extend by wire.

    If the Mac does not work you have the iphone or ipad and use Airport utility for iOS... it tends to be more reliable.

    Still no luck does your Mac have port ethernet... in this case, you can plug it into the computer with ethernet and try again... more wireless implementation looks like sawing off the branch to that which you are sitting.

  • Implementation of Airport extreme with the same SSID

    My House has very thick walls and so I run a Cat5 cable for a number of rooms and installed an Airport Extreme for everyone to create a local WiFi network.

    For the moment, each creates its own wi fi network which is very good for connecting phones, tablets and laptops but I'm trying to connect some SONOS devices and they are not find each other so not a link to the main controller of SONOS.

    SONOS support suggests that if I could get the extremes of the airport on the same SSID, which should help you because they would all be network extensions and so devices would be able to find each other.

    I tried making them all extensions of the network wi fi router but can't see not in the options when I select "Extend an existing network", although on my iPad, I can see wi fi network to the router where the Airport Extreme is so too, it is wired to the router would have thought it should be possible to make all the extensions of a single network.  Research in the community, it seems that the airport is unable to extend a wifi network not Apple, but I could at least get all the airports on the same SSID can help.  I also tried to set up airports so they all extend the network, but they do not see each other because they are too far away.

    I'm not an expert in network management, I understand bits having to solve problems earlier, but if there is there advice or suggestions of the community that would be great

    Thank you

    David

    You choose to extend a network when the incoming signal is wifi. What you need is a "mobile network". Simply connect each airport to the router by ethernet and network with the same SSID and password than the original. Reset the airports so that they put in place from the new so that they detect the arrangement and get into bridge mode - you do not want to provide the IP numbers, you want the home router to do and airports to pass.

  • Should I upgrade to Airport extreme?

    My network is based on an Airport Express station. It works very well with 2 MacBook Pro and i - Pad, i-Phone etc. Occasionally, the iPad has problems connecting to the front of the House but if I get closer to the airport, it works very well.

    I recently bought a 'smart' TV from Samsung. He has trouble connecting to the network. Would it be because of the location (distance from Airport Express)?

    Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme? Is there another way to extend the effective range?

    Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme?

    Potentially, Yes. The AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule 802.11ac have radio antennas much more superior than any Express models. You can get the extreme, try it and return it if it does not meet your needs.

    Would it be useful to an Airport Extreme? Is there another way to extend the effective range?

    Yes, you can get another Express, Extreme or Time Capsule to extend the scope of the Express Wireless current. You can do this either through a wired (recommended) or wireless connection between them.

  • Airport Extreme with guest network configuration

    Hello

    I have a two-storey house and want to spend an Airport Extreme on each floor.

    In technichal room I have my ISP and a witch (192.168.1.0) dhcp router

    There is also a switch and a patchpanel which I have connected my extreme two boxes to.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly? I would like to have internal wich wpa2 network and a network of comments without password and of course I want to have the same ssid, etc. on each floor.

    Thanks in advance.

    Henning

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly?

    There's the rub.  Since you have a router supports DHCP and NAT services to the network 'upstream' extremes of the airport, the airports must be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid Double NAT error that occurs when you have more than one router on a network.

    Unfortunately, the network comments feature does not work correctly when the airport is in Mode Bridge connected to another router.  The 'main' or private network works OK, but 'guests' will not be able to access the Internet.

    The only way to do what you want would be to configure things wrong by...

    (1) connect to an AirPort Extreme to the switch and configure it as a router to "create a wireless network" using DHCP and NAT.

    (2) linking the second AirPort Extreme for the first AirPort Extreme... not to the switch... and implement the extreme second "extend using Ethernet.

    Since you will have a Double NAT on the network, there is no guarantee that things will not work properly. Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but it can cause difficulties of communication between devices on the network and the difficulties with Internet connections as well.

    If you have a console online game and want to play interactively on the Internet, the Double NAT error will not allow this to happen.  Similarly, if you plan to use Back To My Mac or Port Forwarding for access over the Internet to remote devices, the Double NAT will allow these connections probably not happen.

    We do not recommend a Double NAT Setup, but we have some ideas on how to do it. There of probably no harm in trying the Double NAT configuration if you have the time and are willing to experiment to see if it peut work for you, I'm sorry, but there are no guarantees here.

  • Airport Extreme with a USB hard drive

    I have iMac, retina runs El Capitan, I have a fairly new Airport Extreme 6.3.6 running.  My desire is to attach a USB drive and have available files can I access any of my computers.  Also have old iMac and a MBP (about 2012 or 2013).  All three are attached to Airport Extreme, through ethernet cables.  I use the wireless for iPhone and iPad, not for computers.

    I have a Seagate 2 TB hard drive. I connected directly to the latest iMac and all is well. Get the connect to Airport Extreme, it does not appear in the Finder.  After reading several articles I tried to install this on a powered USB hub and the HD in it.  Still does not appear in the Finder.

    I tried to reformat the hard disk, but would not be able to afford it. I have app NTSF on iMac.

    I hope that's enough detail for someone to offer assistance.  Please, I beg you!  -Kathy

    You need to connect to a computer and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended (journaled). AirPort Extreme cannot read USB drives to NTFS or exFAT format.

  • Replace 2004 Airport Extreme with more later?

    WE have an iMac 2009 running Snow Leopard and a MacBook Pro in late 2011, with the help of an old 2004 Airport Extreme Base Station. The second works very well, but I just discovered it's crimping our internet speeds considerably from that proposed Comcast (tested with ethernet this morning). I know that the new Airport Extreme WORK with our computers, but it will increase our speed, even though computers support not the fastest new PHY mode? I would not upgrade the router only to learn that we do not earn a lot (we can't get much more with the current router 17mbps, but by ethernet, we got 57mbps this morning).

    Thank you

    Owen

    So, if you have connected an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the port on the AirPort Extreme Ethernet older you 57 Mbps... or did you connect your Mac directly to your modem using Ethernet and pick up the 57 Mbit/s in this way?

    When you have measured 17 Mbps on the wireless connection... it was with the computer about 6-7 feet (or about 2 meters) from the airport with direct line of sight between the computer and the router AirPort?

    How many other wireless devices are also involved at the time?  To get a decent wireless speed reading, you want to try to restrict things to a single computer and the router from the airport when you run the speed control.

    Then add more wireless devices and run the speed check again to see how the "charge" on the wireless network speed is affected.

  • How to use Airport Extreme with ethernet leased line

    Hello friends,

    I was wondering if Airport Extreme is a true router, can I connect gout ethernet of my leased line directly in its WAN port, rather than put the provided ISP router between the two? I have lived many positions and all seem to suggest the connection of a cable/dsl modem to the WAN port on the extreme. Not found any information where it shows the ethernet line rented directly linking in the Giga WAN port, without any 2nd device in the meantime.

    If it's possible, then I guess also what public IP provided PSI can be put into the WAN of AE interface. Can someone develop more on it and detail the steps of configuration? Given that EI has basic firewall NAT, I think it's doable, but can someone confirm please.

    Thank you very much.

    Temporarily, if you connect your computer directly to the Ethernet line, can you get a good connection Internet in this way?

    If so, then AIrPort Extreme could function as a router for you, but you are also likely to face a Double NAT error on the network. How well... or, even if... This might work cannot be known until try you it.

    If the computer cannot connect, then what is required of your supplier for the computer to connect and get Internet access?
