• Installation of Airport Extreme for Motorola gateway?

  I was hoping someone may be able to help me go through the steps required to configure my Airport Express base station (new) new gateway of Motorola Surfboard SBG 6580 (Cox is my ISP). My main machines are a mid 2010 21.5 "iMac under OSX 10.8.5 and a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro running OSX10.10.5

  The research I did, I know that I will need to disable the features wireless on the bridge and run an ethernet cable from one of the WAN ports to the Airport express. I wonder if it's just a matter of going in my router settings and turn off the wireless, so I can just use it as a modem, or is there something else I need to turn off while I'm in these settings?

  I've got also a Netgear wifi extender used in my current set up, but I hope I won't need more once I created the Airport extreme, but if I need, it would be compatible with the Airport extreme?

  I'll always be able to use other ports WAN ethernet on the motorola, once the most extreme airport is set up? I ask because I currently use all 4 ports on the motorola, and the Airport extreme has only 3.

  Finally, I would like to use the same name as my current wireless network, there will be no problem with that, and I'll be able to hide my network name, like I currently do? I think it's an option "do not broadcast" currently so it doesn't show up for people to scan for wireless networks

  Devices that use my wifi are for most Apple products with the exception of a HTC smartphone, a stick of fire from Amazon and a smart TV.

  Thanks in advance for any help/tips

  Unless you really need to disable the gateway wireless, you may configure your network easier by defining just two to a network roaming type .

  However, before thinking about this, it would be useful if we understood what your networking goals are for these devices. Also, can you please give the model numbers exactly for each of your AirPort base station you want to use in your network.

• optimization of airport extreme for modem arris tg1672

  In reality, my internet speed seems normal. But the orange flashing on my airport extreme is bugging me. Cable company says they do not affect routers and I need to deal with the settings utility airport myself. I don't want to reset all over again, if I am not, but if anyone knows how to "optimize" the airport extreme, I would have powerful.

  The yellow light flashes as the AirPort Extreme has a message for you.

  To find out what it might be... Open the AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme, and a small window appears with information about the product

  If you see an Update button, click on it, if you want to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme to the latest version.

  Otherwise, find the parameter Status , then click on the little orange dot here and another window will open with more information on the 'question' as well as a suggestion to fix things.

• Airport extreme for modem cable via an ethernet switch?

  I can connect the airport extreme to the modem cable via an ethernet switch, or must the extreme connect directly to the modem?

  The answer to your question depends on what type of "modem" cable you may have.

  If you have a simple modem, as in the example below with a single port Ethernet, your network should look like this:

  Internet > Modem > AirPort Extreme > Switch and other devices.

  

  If you have a modem/router, which is actually a modem and a router separate which are combined in a single package, looking for something like the example below, your network may look like this:

  Internet > Modem/Router > switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices

  or... it might look like this:

  Internet > Modem/Router > AirPort Extreme > switch and other devices

  

  If you do not know what kind of modem you have, post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your "modem", and we will do some checking.

• How to configure DynDNS for camera IP with Airport Extreme?

  Hello... I recently bought an airport extreme 6th gen.

  I have an IP camera installed on my cabin, which I would like to access remotely for security reasons.

  My internet provider does not have a fixed IP address, so I need to be able to access my camera, even if my IP address changes.

  I understand that I must install a Dyn DNS, but I can't seem to set it up on my airport extreme.

  Is it possible to do?  If not, is there any IP camera on the market that is completely compatible with Airport Extreme for remote access?

  DynDNS don't think you can do this with an Airport Extreme

  https://help.dyn.com/airport-and-time-capsule-with-dynamic-DNS/>

  If you have another computer in the cabin, you can then run a DynDNS update utility on this computer.

  If not, perhaps you should consider a different router for the cabin.  You could put the Airport Extreme in Bridge mode and still use it.

• How to connect printer 2.4 Ghz band dual band Airport Extreme?

  I need a new printer connect to my Imac running OS 10.7.5 wirelessly.  My router is multiband Airport Extreme.  Most printers seem to does not support multi-band wireless;  they can't stand the 2.4 Ghz band.  Is there some document printers (I need scanning and copy also) which will be easily connected to the Airport Extreme multi-band, or is it possible I can put the Airport Extreme for a printer would only watch the band 2.4 Ghz?

  I found something on Google that says wireless devices should be filled, by disabling the Wlan partition.  I don't know what that means.   Another article said I could name the SSID separately and connect the printer to the 2.4 Ghz band.  Even when I don't know what that means.    Can you help me?  I do not know the printer Canon MG 5720 I bought does not work and I need to just throw it out.  I want to not to make another mistake.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

• Airport Extreme network 4G connection

  I currently have the following configuration for my internet appliances:

  I have an Airport Extreme unit serving wireless three units Airport Express to extend WiFi coverage throughout the House. Physically connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet are two televisions Panasonic who can access the same places predetermined via the internet (for example, BigPond movies and television, People, ABC iView, SBS OnDemand). To enable connectivity to other sites such as Netflix, Stan etc every Panasonic TV has its own unit of Apple TV connected to Airport Extreme via WiFi.

  I use Airport Extreme for all my other internal needs such as web connectivity MacBook and iPhone.

  The Airport Extreme WAN port is so physically connected to the ADSL modem and line phone Telstra for the Exchange, which is about 4 km.

  The problem is that the speed of download of the ADSL 2 + are poor, maxing out at about 3.5mbps. When I listen to the live broadcast of MotoGP and World Superbike racing the picture often freezes while he puts in buffer. Watched movies via Netflix and Stan often freezes too.

  I just ran a speed test on the Telstra Mobile 4 G network and I got a download speed of 111.94Mbps 41.77Mbps upload speed.

  Now, I'm thinking it would be great if I could connect my home network to the internet via their WiFi 4 G device X Pro Advanced.

  My question is this:

  Is it possible to connect the Airport Extreme to the Telstra WiFi 4 G device and the use of the mobile network for my internet and get rid of the ADSL modem? I don't think I can use USB Extreme airport connection, I think that the port is only to connect a printer, but I do not know if the Airport Extreme talk wireless Telstra 4 G device. Documentation of Telstra said their device will connect up to 10 devices using WiFi, but I do not know if there would be problems with the Airport Extreme router to talk to her.

  After spending heaps on all these units of Apple (1 x Airport Extreme) and 3 x Airport Express I don't want to lose, but if there is no way to Airport Extreme wireless unit of Telstra (or if this method is ridiculous) so maybe I might be able to get the device of Telstra to talk to all my other WiFi devices directly. Then, I might be able to sell the extreme and expresses it.

  I had a discussion with Apple Support through their chat session, but the person with which I spoke was not able to help.

  Thanks in advance.

  You need a device that is able to connect via Ethernet to the AirPort Extreme base station.

  With a plain/direct USB 4 G modem, a router broadband mobile sometimes can act in Bridge mode and thus provide a conversion method. For example, Dovado has these routers, but their modem (http://www.dovado.com/en/support/modems) compatibility list appears to cite that a single Telstra USB 4 G modem (ZTE) which supports the mode bridge.

  Your question indicates, however, that the 4G modem is actually a mobile access point (providing a local Wi - Fi network). If so, it may or may not be possible to use the wireless Ethernet Bridge (maybe even a model of Apple AirPort Express appropriate) to join this hotspot wireless and then connect via Ethernet to the entrance of the AirPort Extreme. This is all experimental, however. Various problems, including double NAT, are to be expected.

• 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.

• AirPort Extreme, gigabit Ethernet switch and covering my house

  I have an AirPort Extreme 802.11n to Time Capsule wireless router. I have an old House. It was built in 1852 and microwave ovens have a hard time penetrating through some walls.

  Recently, I made some changes in the House and I wired things for Gigabit Ethernet. I have not yet bought a switch. We have a Mac Pro (cheese grater), a Mac Mini, three iPhones (only 6) and two iPads (one version 3 and the other, only the latter bought autumn, an iPad Air.)

  First of all, since most of us are on 802.11 n, can I initially put in place a heterogeneous system with two routers wireless connected to themselves and to the Internet via a switch? Also, I need two switches; one for the internal LAN and the other for a connection to the Internet? I intend to buy the new ac 802.11 AirPort extreme for a facility in one of the rooms to better cover the rest of the House. I think that both devices will be able to take advantage of the signal of 5 GHz, initially, with another iPad and iPhone to come along the next year. I wouldn't or the other base station being "enslaved" to the other but, rather, connected to the wired network internal and devices just switch between them that move around the House.

  Comments are welcome here. This can be a trip to a Genius Bar if I do not hear from final here.

  can I initially put in place a heterogeneous system with two routers wireless connected to themselves and to the Internet via a switch?

  Possibly, depending on the type of modem you have. See below info in this post.

  Also, I need two switches; one for the internal LAN and the other for a connection to the Internet?

  NO.

  I wouldn't or the other base station being "enslaved" to the other but, rather, connected to the wired network internal and devices just switch between them that move around the House.

  Not sure what you mean here. The two extremes of the airport will be connected to the cable network, so they will be in communication with them at all times. If you want to peripheral switch between them that move around the House... then you will need what is called a "mobile network"... so the two airports will produce a wireless signal that uses the same wireless network name. Apple Setup Assistant will put things this way by default.

  Depending on the type of "modem" you have, the network might look like this:

  Internet > Modem > AirPort Extreme 802.11ac > Ethernet switch > AirPort Extreme

  or, if your "modem" is really a modem/router, also known as, a walkway... then you have the ability to set things up like this:

  Internet > Modem/Router > Switch > the two airports to connect to the Ethernet network

  Looking for a Gigabit Ethernet switch to your network. Switches come in 5 ports, 16 channels, 8 ports, etc. versions.  It's always a good idea to buy an Ethernet switch over a few ports that you think that you may need right now... to allow for expansion.

  The key here is that the type of modem you have will determine how to configure the network.  If you could provide the number of brand and model of your "modem", we can eliminate some of the assumptions to be used at this time.

• How to reset the airport extreme to factory default

  My Airport & time capsule are not connected to the modem, saying no dns server is available, however the modem works when connected to the computer. (Macbook) After hours of troubleshooting, I would just restore default settings and see if I can get it going again. Can anyone provide info on restoring the default settings?

  Thank you!

  • Turning off AirPort Extreme for a minute or two
  • In the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme first... and keep taking them for 7 to 8 seconds... while simultaneously you reconnect the power on the AirPort Extreme.  (This step is a bit complicated for most users, because it takes almost 3 hands to do it properly)
  • Release the reset button to zero after the period of detention and allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme back on the way to a slow, flashing amber light status

  AirPort Extreme is now back to the State it was when you took it first out of the box.

• Airport Extreme and Broadband Modem/Router

  I have my Airport Extreme (5th generation) plugged into a Broadband Modem/Router combo. I would like to have both able to use their wireless capabilities. The Airport Extreme has been previously connected to a Modem broadband all my IP addresses came by Airport Extreme (192.168.2. *). With the New Modem/Router combo broadband, it uses 10.0.0 * so I would be able to use Airport Extreme to add the 192.168.2. * While having the 10.0.0. * the Broadband Modem/Router combo.

  Is this possible and, if so, how do I configure Airport Extreme to do?

  Normally, you don't want two devices on the same network as the two try to act as routers to the same network. Which will produce conflicts of IP addresses... which can possibly be addressed... and a Double NAT problem, which cannot.

  The Double NAT error can cause a number of unpredictable issues... things like the problems of communication between the devices on the network, slow navigation... or, not navigation in the case of certain websites, Internet access slower, to name a few.

  Yes, some users may get away with a Double NAT on a single home network, but unnecessarily complicating things over a network is normally something you want to avoid.

  We do not recommend it, but if you really want AirPort Extreme for use range 192.168.2.x however, you can easily make this change using AirPort Utility. If you are not sure how to do this and need help, then we will need to know which version of AirPort utility you are using.

  To find, open AirPort Utility, and then click the menu of AirPort Utility in the far left of the screen corner. Click on about AirPort Utility to see what version you have and post back with that info.

• Wake on LAN - AirPort Extreme

  I'm trying to configure the Wake on LAN for my AirPort Extreme and Windows 7 PC, reboot with my iPad.  It works fine when the iPad is on the local network, but no power on the PC when I'm not on my network domestic.  I put airport to the port before 9 to the PC as directed, and made sure the PC has been configured to accept magic packets.  Any help?

  Apple wake on lan system is different... and there is a good chance the router from Apple not go to work.

  The best and easiest around the issue is to install a different router... and use airport extreme for the wireless. Make sure the PC is connected to the main router although no airport.

• 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!

• Airport extreme - 6753 error

  I had this airport extreme for several years and could access the utility via my PC without ever a problem. I had updated a port forwarding for a security system, and then set a NAT address when he created the error. Now I can't access the utility without the error. Any suggestions?

  Sorry, but without knowing exactly what you did, it would be difficult to help you with a solution.

  Let's start with what exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? What is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have connected him directly by Ethernet? Is the "security system" a firewall machine dedicated? If Yes, what brand and model?

  By "set a NAT address" are you referring to the definition of the local IP address for Port Mapping?

• Airport Extreme loses the connection to the home network

  I have an Airport Extreme (AE) with Cox Internet in my house. Version AE 7.6.7 since the end of may 2016, I lost WiFi connection radomly. I had a Cox technician out who finished just change a 'filter' in our neighborhood who feed on other Cox at the reception. He said this analog filter had to be upgraded to a digital filter.  Despite this, my WiFi kept down again. According to other Threads of the community, this problem was solved by putting the IPV6 in AE parameter for "link-local only.  I did this and still it is falling.

  According to a recent post in support of Cox:

  Most of the routers to retail, especially those produced in recent years, are completely compatible with IPv6. Cox has determined that the Apple AirPort Extreme routers, including Time Capsule models, may know Internet connectivity issues when running the firmware released before May 25, 2016. For more information, contact Apple Support.

  To a Moderator: Apple will have an AE update for this problem?

  The moderators of the forum are not questions on a user to user support forum, so don't expect a response from an Apple employee.  Please contact Apple Support directly if you wish to speak directly with Apple.

  Then, Apple has already released the new firmware... 7.6.7 May 25... so it's not the question that you reference in the statement on the website of Cox. Cox was referring to a firmware sooner, like 7.6.4, for example in their declaration.

  We have seen a number of messages from other users of Cox, who reported that the new firmware has resolved connection issues that existed before.

  To find out where the real problem may lie, I suggest that you connect a computer (with the wireless turned off) directly to one of the LAN ports <>- on AirPort Extreme for a few days and keep an eye on the connection.

  Post back your results. Then, we'll know if you have a general Internet... connection problem that could be a problem of modem... or a single wireless issue.  In all cases, it will help if you provide the model number of the AirPort Extreme you have... and... he make and model number of the modem you are using at the moment.
