• The airport problem

  I use a MacBook Pro 17 "and Airport utility recognizes the units Time Machine airport and Airport Express, I have in my network, but after awhile, he drops them and shows a yellow triangle that provides a message"device not found ". If I sign out and then sign back again the devices are recognized, but after a short time, he fails to recognize them again. Any suggestions?

  What version of the OS X operating system turns the MacBook Pro?

  Did you recently upgraded the operating system to Sierra?

  I have five airport extreme, with their network of people of names in a different location in the House.  I have a brighthouse router that I use to connect to all the extremes of the airport.  I experienced the problem of connection to the internet.

  Are all connected to the Brighthouse router by Ethernet extremes? Are all of the extremes configured as bridges?

• Configuration of the Airport Extreme problem and Vigor 120

  Hi all

  This is the case, I have vigor installation 120 in Bridge mode with my airport extreme with settings pppoe settings of my ISP of vpi/vci: 8/35 pppoe/llc adsl2 + login and password, when the force as a router configuration, there worked perfectly, but in Bridge mode has managed to establish a PPPoE to pc but when the connection with the airport no luck I got an invalid ip address and orange light flashing.

  I have the latest in airport and vigor firmware and I'm doing a powecycle reboot after each change.

  Here are the settings in effect 120

  

  

  Any help would be more than welcome

  It's sad to say THAT PPPOE on the Apple is not reliable.

  I have the same problem... I can't use routers Apple with PPPOE on my modem in bridge... regardless of the brand.

  PPPOE is a bunch of variations... PAP or CHAP for example... and the number of... repeated attempts time between repetitions.

  Apple offers zero... whether it's no control... they are all available right now to find out what newspapers or.

  I had to simply replace the Apple router with another router... any other router seems to work fine... It's just the Apple that failed on me...

  I tried with several different Apple routers using all the old firmware, at latest... all fail. So I guess it's less coherent.

• Connect the airport to the hub of sky - sharing wireless problems

  I just bought an Airport Extreme and try to connect it to my sky network hub (q) existing.

  I had it put in place, with it connected via ethernet to my hub of heaven.

  I have 2 external hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme and was a time machine back to one of the attached disks.  That everything worked very well, wait for the back up has been extremely slow (she had only managed 30 GB in 3 hours, and to do a TB).  I realized that the airport had created a wifi network of its own, and I was wondering if it was interfering with my main one sky, so I turned off the wifi at the airport.  Now I can not connect readers to share.  Utility can see them, but on my macbook, when I click on to connect to the server from the airport, it does not connect.

  Should it?  I know I shouldn't need to run 2 wifi networks if my Airport Extreme is connected to my router from Sky via ethernet?  With gratitude any help appreciated!

  Catherine

  When it is connected to the hub Sky by Ethernet, your AirPort Extreme should be reconfigured as a bridge.

  To do this, use the AirPort Utility, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the extreme and then, select change.
  • Click the network tab.
  • Change the router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode).
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  

• Parameter problem to the airport Time Capsule

  Already, we currently have a WiFi system with a NetGear router and a modem from Time Warner.

  I just want to use the airport Time Capsule to back up my Mac.  My husband has a PC.  I followed the instructions but the airport still comes up in the utility.

  Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and the latest 802.11 ac 3 TB so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I plug an Ethernet cable at the airport, then in the Modem - nothing after I plug the power - Amber flashing light.  I have changed ports unplugged and plugged back in French - restart the Modem.  Nothing works.  I bought it so it would work straight out of the box - so far, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand it.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

• Express in the problem of the extension of the airport

  Airport utility wants to know why my airport express that I use as an Extender, continues to display lines ranging from solid to dashed. I have a line full on the Internet at the airport extreme, then spotted extreme express Airport express line to go solid and I have to keep back my password to restart dashed.  Any thoughts?

  A strong AirPort Extreme in the AirPort Express line indicates that the current connection using an Ethernet cable. A dashed line indicates that the AirPort Express connects only to the AirPort Extreme wireless use.

  What type of connection do you want to Express to use?

  What camera did you use to configure the AirPort Express Terminal?

• Device dropped offline to the Airport network

  Hello

  My Genesis 3 iPad was connected to the net one night and the next morning was not.  Check my AirPort Extreme shows current update and Internet connection on all other devices (10).  The wi - fi address is listed and shows the 'excellent' connection, but the orange dot feared to the internet.  I restarted the airport and iPad so much that reset the network on the iPad.

  The iPad connects to the network through the personal hotspot on my phone.

  Thanks for any help

  The point of 'orange' would indicate that there is a problem with the connection to the Internet from the router or the modem.

  I suggest that you try to perform a new round of full power of your network hardware to try to solve this problem. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Note: You can skip the part to accomplish a 'default' reset on the base station to this point. Please post back your results.

• Devices to connect to the airport, but not to the Internet

  Hi all; Here's my situation:

  I just bought a new Airport Extreme to replace my old router (Linksys). In our House, we have two iPhones 6, as well as the iPad, Apple TV and MacBook Pro that were all bought again this year. All these things were able to connect to the internet using our old wireless router.

  As I have configured and installed at the airport, various devices have been able to connect without being able to connect to the internet (i.e. AirPort Utility, the airport connection is a green dot, while the actual internet connection is an orange): first it was the MacBook having this problem while the phones and the iPad have been completely connected. After I simply rebooted everything several times - i.e. the modem, router, and MacBook - I finally got the MacBook fully connected (without really changing all the settings, which are all entered correctly). Now, however, it is the two iPhones that will connect the airport but not actually in the internet.

  Any ideas? I must say, these strange little problems idiopathic who seem to always pop up with Apple products are starting to really bother me... I never got my MacBook to connect to the Apple TV via AirPlay.

  Any time you change the material or providers of Internet services, networking, it's always a good idea to perform a complete recycling of your network equipment power. Check out the following Tip of an airport users for more details on how to do it. Please post back your results.

• The Airport Extreme WiFi intermittent 2nd generation

  I'm having a weird problem with loss of WiFi on my Apple Airport Extreme.

  My 2nd generation that apple Airport Extreme Base Station began to close its WiFi broad signal several times.  It happens usually after 60 minutes or less works very well.  Power on and the new runs for awhile until it stops again the WiFi.  Green light normally forward either static rest without flickering to indicate data transfer, or it will just dark.  Sometimes it will turn off WiFi and then restart WiFi a few minutes later and appear to be good.  But mostly it just stops and I can, he extinguished/turned on to operate correctly with the WiFi again.

  Airport Extreme is connected by ethernet cable to my modem/router main fiber (which is a different floor home) and it is set to "Bridge" Mode  It worked without any problems and I did no changes to my system.  My ISP did update my modem broadband fiber a few weeks ago to a "Virgin Media Hub 3.0"I understand was made by Compal.»  It seems to work perfectly and I have no problems with speed download or reliability in wireframe.  I was away from home for about a week and was able to access my wireless IP camera remotely via my Airport Extreme with no problems.  The problem started almost immediately on my return, but, as I said, I did no changes to my network.  I have never had this kind of problem before with my Airport Extreme.

  I am running OS X Yosemite on an iMac that is connected by a cable ethernet to the Airport Extreme and seems to work very well even when WiFi is de-energized on the Airport Extreme.  Airport utility reports the airport as current firmware version 7.6.7.

  I used network utility, Fing, and it showed that my Airport Extreme has multiple IP addresses, which seem to conflict with the IP address for my three AppleTV.  I manually changed the IP addresses of the Apple TV to another IP address not conflicting, but Fing always shows that my Airport Extreme has three IP addresses and I still have the problem of WiFi.

  Any other suggestions on a probable cause of this problem or the best way to solve the problem would be much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  The question is the 2nd generation AE is now too old.

  I would say the power supply (external or internal) is dying.

  It service life is approximately 5 years... your must be 8 years old. so the solution is simple... buy a new one... or I'll tell... Newish...

• our airport time capsule connects to computers and the internet, but does not record on the usefulness of the airport as being there - is it dying or is their a reset?

  Our computers connect via wifi to a capsule of time to the airport and to the internet, but can't find the time capsule, nor can its hard drive. Y at - it a reset, we can try or he dies. It's only a couple of months.

  Turn about your Airport Extreme for 15 seconds and then power back on. As soon as you see the green light, you should be able to see him for a minute or two in the Airport utility. In the affirmative, and see if you have Back to My Mac active. If so, disable it by removing all the e-mail addresses of the back section of my Mac. Then update your Airport Extreme. Work quickly.

  Many have started having this problem within the last week, probably because Apple changed something in its servers CCMM. A real difficulty would come from Apple, but it should work if you currently have active CCMM.

• 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.

  With all the conversations I had with Apple on this topic (which were many, involving a large amount of tests) not once they disclose any causal factors individual, other than to reiterate the need to run the last OS X, versions and the latest versions of firmware for their routers. In your case, that means probably that your Mac update to El Capitan. It is after all the very first recommendation in their document of support above, until you do this you will still not get in step 1.

• The airPort Extreme (2007) and Time Machine

  Hi all

  I read the info "how to ask a good question" and apparently you need details. I'll try and be concise but informative with my problem. It has been a long journey to get to where I am, but hopefully, with a little help from this amazing community, I can get to my destination.

  Task

  To produce a backup solution Time Machine for the family spending as little money as possible and using the BRIC and broc, I already have.

  Equipment available

  I have a House with some ethernet cables for most rooms that through switches to allow a variety of, most entertainment devices to communicate. It is:

  1 x NAS/Media (ReadyNAS Duo v2) server,

  2 x TV (Samsung),

  2 x TEU (Beyonwiz),

  2 x Apple TV (a 2 nd generation the other is the latest version)

  2 x DVD players,

  1 x iMac.

  2 x 8-port switches,

  1 x 16 switch ports,

  1 x AirPort Extreme (2007).

  1 x Airport Express (age unknown but older than the extreme)

  1 x Fritz! Box 7490 Modem/Router

  Courses in place

  All the associated TV stuff are connected in 2 rooms through ethernet via switch 2 x 8 ports switch 16 central port and then to the Fritz! modem/router box.

  There are also all the usual WiFi going on with mobile phones, iPads and laptops.

  Remarkably, it seems just to work!

  However, I want to add some backup data on our computers. I tried to do by using the ReadyNAS as it is supposed to support Time Machine, but I can't it to appear as a backup destination. So, I thought, as I have AirPort Extreme, I add it to the network and attach a USB HDD for Time Machine since it is supposed to be easy. However, I've been home for hours and cannot make the HARD disk appear in system preferences/Time Machine.

  I plugged the Airport Extreme in one of the switches 8 port said to create a wireless network with the same details as the Fritz! The box according to another article of the support (Airport Extreme wired AND expand network - need of entry). Airport utility shows me Wi-wired connections and seems to work.

  I look at the AirPort Extreme disks tab and can see the attached USB drive here. However, it does not appear as a choice of drives available for backup in Time Machine preferences. I tried 2 different discs with the same result.

  The Question (finally)

  How can I get Time Machine preferences to show the USB disk attached to AirPort Extreme as a valid choice for backups? If anyone can give me a little help in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you for reading this,

  Grant

  Unfortunately, the key here is that the version of AirPort Extreme you have does not officially support Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

  The only version of the AirPort Extreme, which will officially support Time Machine backups on a drive in the USB port on the airport is the 802.11ac current version that looks like a "tower". Older versions of 'flat and square' of the AirPort Extreme don't support Time machine with a USB drive attached.

  To check, please see "Time Machine in charge of USB drives" in this Apple support document... AirPort base stations: discs on USB - Support Apple

  Support for time Machine to USB drives

  OS X Time Machine supports compatible USB drives encrypted, related to the time Capsule (802.11n and 802.11ac) AirPort and AirPort Extreme (802.11ac).

  Given that the average life of most wireless routers lasts about 5 years, and your AirPort Extreme seems to be about 9, your AirPort Extreme did very well for you... much better than the average. It might be time to start thinking about a replacement who will be responsible for backups Time Machine... either a time Capsule (i.e. an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive) or another AirPort Extreme.

• Why is my slower than wifi ethernet download speed when using the airport extreme?

  Hi all

  This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I currently own stunted 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch and an extreme A1521 from the airport. My ISP has promised 50Mbps downloading and sending 10 Mbps. When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised. When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok. However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?

  If you check the 'fine print', your ISP has promised "up to" 50 Mbit/s and 'up to' 10Mbps.  The ISP might provide more than that during periods of slow activity, like the days of the week during the day, but much less during evenings when there are many more users on the Internet.

  When I connect my MPro via ethernet/wi-fi to my modem I get as promised

  I assume that you meant to check the Ethernet connection, you disable WiFi on Mac when you do this. And unplug the Ethernet cable when you check the speed of the WiFi, correct?

  If so, this tells you that the Ethernet port to both the modem and the Mac work properly, and WiFi work correctly as well.

  When I connect my MPro via wi - fi to the extreme I get 48Mbps download download 9Mbps and it's ok.

  If this tells you that the Ethernet connection between the modem and the AirPort Extreme works correctly, and wireless works fine on the AirPort Extreme.

  However, when I connect my MPro via ethernet to extreme I get 8-9Mbps download and 9Mbps.

  Well, you know that the Ethernet connection between the modem and AirPort Extreme works because you can register 48 Mbps Wireless.

  Thus, the possibilities are narrowed to two elements at this stage:

  (1) the Ethernet cable is defective or making intermittent contact. Try another Ethernet cable, to ensure.

  (2) If you have turned off AirPort Extreme and rebooted several times, and you know that the cable between the Mac and AirPort Extreme works properly, then you have reduced the question down to the Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme, which is probably defective switch.

  If you have not already done so, try other ports Ethernet on the AirPort Extreme.

  As a last resort, perform a reset material on AirPort Extreme and put up again. To perform the Hard Reset... power on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold it pushed in the reset button on the back of the unit (near the AC power plug) for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart orange light flashing slow.

  I once went through two consecutive airport extremes with the same question about 8 months ago, so it can happen.

  If you're still having problems, then it is time to take the AirPort Extreme of Apple Store... If you have one near you... or contact the Apple Support directly by clicking on 'Contact the Support' in the upper right area of this web page.

  Good luck!

• 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

  Alex

  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.
