• 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.

• Airport Extreme 7.7.7 FW selects is no longer 5 g

  Background:

  • I just upgraded my Airport Extreme 802.11ac to 7.7.7 firmware version
  • No error during the upgrade
  • Both the 2.5 and 5 G SSID version has the same value before and after the upgrade.

  Problem:

  • Before the upgrade, my laptop promises a 5G channel automatically all the time in my apartment relatively low.
  • After the upgrade, my laptop only selects a channel 2.4 G

  Troubleshooting:

  • I changed the name of the 5G network and define the network order to prefer the 5G network before the network 2.4.
  • Sitting in the same place compared to the router, I connect again all the time to the 5 G network.

  Conclusion:

  • The new firmware introduced a regression.

  Everyone knows this?  Have you checked what channel you are on?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  AirPort Extreme 802.11ac here is using firmware 7.7.7 and both bands are using the same wireless network name.

  The Mac laptop now connects to 5 GHz when I'm 3 rooms away from the airport.

  Before 7,7,7 I couldn't the laptop to connect to 5 GHz at all when it was still far from the 2 rooms.  I pay much attention to what channel the Mac is on, but when I looked a minute there, it's on 149.  Could have been earlier today on 161, can't remember.

  So, I see essentially the opposite of what you state.

• Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

  Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

  Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

  Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

  Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

  Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

  To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

  Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

  When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

• AirPort Extreme upgrade?

  I'm using a 1st generation (A1143) AirPort Extreme, but the wireless signal covers any parts of my house (problems with the strength of the signal on the 2nd floor).

• What should I wear to the front with ATT and Airport Extreme?

  I have AT & T Uverse with an Airport Extreme.

  EI is implemented as a bridge, because it wouldn't work otherwise.

  I went into the game/NAT on the router/modem ATT layout and tried to activate some ports to forward.  Then I check the port and find that it is always closed.

  Someone here would be able to offer assistance with problems?

  I do this to try to send large files to a friend VIA files torrent based, although it does not seem to allow me to seed.

  Before ATT I got time warner and my own modem and router combo, and it works wonderfully in this configuration, so I can only the assertion that the issue is somewhere in the new place from the material.

  Now, if I try to download a standard torrent, I have no problem, but try to make my own with the trackers who have worked before, there is no dice.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  ATT system is the NVG599 of ARRIS

• Unable to connect to Airport Extreme after updating iOS 10

  Hey guys.

  OK not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I can't connect to my Airport Extreme update IOS 10 my wife is.

  We all have two iPhone 6 and 64 gb & update at the same time.

  We have an ac 802.11 Airport extreme also an extreme dual band of airport & an express airport which none of us can connect to.

  We can connect to the Home Hub 6 provided by our service provider broadband with no problems but it is only in a part of the House that we are unable to connect to my office or at the back of the House.

  Tried resetting the network settings on the phone thought I might ask before having to try to reset back to factory settings base stations.

  Thank you

  FWIW, I upgraded my iPhone SE 5 and Pro iPad to iOS 10 as well, but knows me not any problems connecting to one of my base station AirPort to Wi - Fi.

  Or the other of your iPhones must all problems connecting to other networks in addition to the Home Hub Wi - Fi? In other words, are they only having problems connecting to your AirPort base station? If Yes, do you have someone nearby who also has an AirPort wireless network that you should check your iPhones with?

  In the meantime, let's take a look at the current configuration of your network. We know that you, at least, three airport base stations. What is the exact models of non - 802.11ac extreme and Express?

  These base stations are all linked back to the Home Hub with Ethernet they are all configured for a mobile network?

• explosion of comcast Airport extreme Setup

  Recently, I upgraded my Comcast for a Blast 150Mbps connection.  However, through to 2015 Airport Extreme, I get only ~ 40-70Mbps, so that if I bypass it with the CAT5 directly in my Macbook Pro, I get what I should be 130-150 Mbps.  What should I do to set the base station to get it and my surfboard SB6121 to play nice with each other?

  Thanks in advance,

  David

  Unfortunately, the series of Arris/Motorola SB61XX modem seems to be incompatible with the base stations of 802.11ac AirPort (potentially, 802.11n models as well.) This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical questions are interrupted connectivity and low rate of transfer via the WAN - LAN interface. Two models of replacement recommended: Zoom 5341J & the Cisco DPC3008.

  Regardless, it is recommended to use a modem that is approved by your ISP.

  • XFINITY Comcast approved modem list

  In addition, a number of large ISPS were the deployment of IPv6. You can check if your AirPort Extreme is properly configured for this service. Comcast has provided this link.

• Poor Airport Extreme WIFI coverage

  Hello

  I live in France where my Base Station is an orange "Livebox". It's a big house and I have paired my extreme AP (nine) to my Livebox router by ethernet and use an Express of the AP in the lounge which is connected via Wifi to the extreme of the AP. All works well ut strength Wifi from the extreme to the AP.

  When I'm sitting on my front patio, the Wifi signal from my Livebox shit and cheap Orange, is as good as, or better than, the signal I get from my dear AP extreme. You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  You can argue about the size of my house and the thick walls, but surely extreme AP should easily beat a cheap router?

  It will not be an answer you want to hear, but unfortunately Apple routers are not known for their overall performance or broadcast power same levels... so they are often upgraded by other routers at a fraction of the cost.

  On a site that is well respected, known for their tests of routers, you can see how AirPort Extreme, compared to the other routers in the performance measurement of the WiFi is concerned. (Look far down the list to confirm).

  Why I have a router from Apple?  Some reasons... (1) it helps me answer questions about the product on this forum... (2) most important reason... are that it is located in an area that is open in our House to ensure good coverage, and my wife liked the style of the better product, compared to other routers.

  In my opinion... With Apple, users pay a lot for the Apple name, the style of Apple and Apple usability.

• Airport Extreme in brick after update firmware 7.7.7

  Error while trying to update the Airport Extreme (model A1521) firmware to version 7.7.7.  After clicking on "Refresh" for the EPA in the utility AirPort app on my MBP, it seemed like it was downloading and then restart, but then the "error during firmware update" message popped up.

  Then he disappeared from the AirPort Utility app. check the physical EPA, he got a quick Orange flashing light on.

  Perform a reset by mode on "soft" apple support  No change in status in the AirPort or LED utility.

  Perform a "hard" reset No change.

  Perform a reset "factory".  Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, then fixed Orange LED for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange flashing LED forever.

  Removed all connections to the EPAS, repeated above steps with identical results.

  Tried to plug the cable to all ports, a both MBP, then in a port to a different router.  No connection.

  Base from the bottom of the EPA to inspect the connection with the ohmmeter removed rubber physical reset button. Button contacts are open when not depressed, short circuit when pressed.

  EPA appears at all in the AirPort Utility (not in "Other WiFi devices" or the other).

  Pushing the reset button on the EPA has no effect, no matter how much time or when it is pushed.

  Once the power cord is removed and inserted, the indications are always the same, no matter what I do with the reset button. Green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, Orange fixed for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange blinking forever.

  Interaction ONLY with the device, which had until this point was working perfectly for years, has been through the AirPort Utility software.  Physical interaction occurred after that the update of the firmware he bricked.  Simply, I do not understand how a botched firmware update might brick the MONKEY.  The default firmware must always be able to be loaded with the reset sequence.

  Help, please.

  You should not open it... Apple may have been told by replacing.

  Firmware updates are always dangerous... the airport less then most of the routers.

  However very rarely something can go wrong and the firmware written correctly to the ROM. This will leave the router in a State of broken forever. You need to replace unfortunately.

  He got a quick Orange flashing light on.

  Restore mode flashing quickly means that it is in...

  Perform a reset "factory".  Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, then fixed Orange LED for 5 to 10 seconds, then orange flashing LED forever.

  It flashes quickly or slowly forever?

  The ethernet light when you plug the ethernet cable?

  As far as I know, there is no firmware emergency repair method at airports... Apple has every confidence their sequence of upgrade to work, even when the firmware is delivered more wireless... always a big risk CF ethernet.

• Need a cable Modem (have an Airport Extreme)

  I am a subscriber of internet high speed from Comcast in the Chicago area.  I have their most recent Wireless Gateway that supports the 802.11ac fall on my newly upgraded Airport Extreme.  I'm looking to buy my own cable modem and seeks recommendations based on the information.

  Anyone who wants to help out? Thank you!

  In fact, I would like to start with modems that that Comcast will be supported. The only ones you should avoid a potentially are the Arris / Motorola SB61XX-series modems as they have been known to be incompatible with airport base stations.

  For recommendations, I suggest you Cisco, as the DPC3008 models.

• 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 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.
