What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

What type of modem do I need connect my AirPort Extreme to BT infinity

The question is not really what kind of modem you need... it is rather one of 'approved' modems which provides the BT will be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and other Apple routers are designed to work with standard DSL and cable type connections.  The fiber is a new ball game, and Apple has not yet learned all the rules for the new game.

Your best bet would be to publish a list of 'approved' BT here modems and then ask other users who might have the same product and an AirPort Extreme about their experience.

You can also just ask BT what product they would recommend to work with the AirPort Extreme.  They tell you that they will not support you if you are using the Apple product, so maybe it's something to consider as well.

  • I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

  • 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

  • Connect the Airport Extreme via Powerlink to the cable Modem

    I have problems with wifi at home as the location where the my cable modem is far from ideal. I currently connected to an Airport Extreme, which works like the router (the cable modem has the router function disabled). Attached to the AE is also a powerlink and I have an Airport Express connected to the powerlink, which has its own network.

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    I'm getting a second Airport Extreme soon as well and I have several express in my house, but the problem is that my wifi is not fast at all.

    Powerlink adapters are Devolo 600 & 1200.

    Thank you

    I was wondering if it would make sense to connect the powerlink directly to the cable modem and then put my Airport Extreme, a more central location in my home connected via Powerlink and there accumulate this way, rather than the current configuration.

    It's always a good idea to place the 'main' AirPort router as close as possible of the area where most of the wireless devices should be used in this sense, your idea is a good thing... and in theory at least. ... .the powerline adapters allow you to do.

    However, in practice... you won't really know how well... or even if... this type of installation will work until you try you. The reason for this is there is so many different things that can affect the performance of a type of current line of the installation program.

    If you have time, there is certainly no harm in trying this type of configuration.  Post your results if you decide to try it.

  • Connect to Airport Extreme to another router

    Hello.  I searched this forum to see if my question is already answered.  I couldn't find all the signs that answer.  If it has already been answered, please point me to the subject.  Otherwise, here's my question:

    I need to expand Internet coverage in my house.  This is the configuration I want to implement:

    • Cable modem (at one end of my house) connected to a WiFi router non - Apple.

    • Use an Ethernet cable to the router through my attic, at one Airport Extreme to the other end of the House

    • I would like to run an Ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to my TV and another cable to an AppleTV

    This would give wireless coverage to the entire House and Internet wired for television and the AppleTV.

    I would like some advice on how best to implement.  Here are a few questions (although I don't know if I ask to everything that I need to ask):

    • If the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    • If the Airport Extreme and the other router have the same SSID and password?  Or it doesn't matter?

    • What should I do a configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    • I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.  If all goes well, I plan to spend this Saturday morning crawling into the attic and tonight Saturday benefiting the whole Internet.

    Should the Airport Extreme be configured with DHCP or a static IP address?

    DHCP, unless you have a preference for a static IP address.

    Airport Extreme and the other router has the same SSID and password?

    Yes, if you want both of your routers to behave as if they provided a unique network of "big". No, if you want to require users to log on the wireless provided separately by each router.

    I have to do any configuration to make the Ethernet connection work seamlessly in Airport Extreme to the other router on the cable modem?

    Just run configuration 'Wizard' of Apple, and it will assign the correct parameters to the AirPort Extreme.

    I guess I can configure the other router (connected to the cable modem) to DHCP.  Is this correct?

    It is not clear, given that we do not know what another router you may have. Do you mean that the other router connected to the modem via DHCP... or... you hear the other router provide DHCP and NAT services for the entire network?

  • 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?

  • Airport Express is no longer connect to Airport Extreme

    OK, it's kinda a complicated question.  For starters, I will describe my current setup:

    Cable modem Motorola-> Airport Express #1-->(Ethernet over powerline)-> Airport Extreme-> multiple Airport Express for AirPlay

    Airport Extreme and Airport Express #1 are put in place to create wireless networks, with different names for 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz frequencies.  I love this configuration because it allows me to play music simultaneously on the four different speakers hooked to my Airport Express units while offering good coverage in my apartment together.  It worked perfectly until two days ago when two of the Airport Express units lost their connection and are now flashing yellow.  I tried to restart the Airport Express and Airport Extreme, but nothing helped.  When I launch iStumbler, it looks like Airport Express #1 and Airport Extreme both create networks of right, but who is the Airport Extreme 802. 11A instead of 802.11n - don't know if it of a problem or not.  I suspect that the Airport Extreme is not working properly because when my wireless connection when you use my iPad near the Airport Extreme, that used to be solid as a rock, is now uneven intermittently.

    Any ideas on how I can solve this?  Thank you very much!

    It sounds like your extreme is the very old Gen1 or Gen2 model without dual band.

    Back to the factory and start over. It's the best way to solve problems... reboot is worth a trial, but in the end, you sometimes just have to redo the installation.

  • Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

    original title: drive hard extreme airport

    Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

    ---------------------

    Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
    Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
    7 love the updated drivers.

    I hope this helps.

  • PC does not connect to AirPort Extreme

    I have a windows 7 dell latitude D600 that connects to wireless very well. I think that the wireless card is like b/g/n.

    I have an Airport Extreme 6th Gen AC that sends wifi very well to everything I own.

    The PC sees the network, I click on it and enter the password, he thinks for a while and fails!

    I have studied this problem and it is not the PC, I think it is the most convenient airport.

    Thank you

    If you take a look at the plug of the D600, you will see that it is Wireless 'b' which forces the old WEP security settings.

    http://www.CNET.com/products/Dell-Latitude-D600/specs/

    Unfortunately, the new routers WEP abandoned airport about 3-4 years ago because it is so safe and easily cracked with some free tools available on the Internet.

    A test, turn off security on the AirPort Base Station wireless and see if the Dell can connect in this way. If he can... then you know that the Dell is not compatible with the highest levels of security that use airports and other newer routers.

    Do not recommend that you do this, but you can try to lower the security on the airport to WPA/WPA2...but I don't know if the Dell will connect this way or not.  It won't if it is limited to WEP security levels.

    Better to keep safety at the recommended levels and try a USB wireless adapter to see if it works with the Dell printer.

  • Connect to airport extreme USB hard drive

    I have a drive external hard Iomega LDHD-UP that I want to connect to my Airport Extreme (running the 7.6.4)... version but I can't seem to do.)

    Currently, the airport is set up as a bridge to my Verizon Fios router.  It all works very well.

    The instructions from Apple don't seem to help me, because I do not have "Airport disk utility" - only "Airport utility" - and I'm hit a roadblock there.
    (Airport: how to mount a volume of Airport Extreme USB hard drive in Mac OS X and Windows - Apple Support)

    Normally, I can understand something like this, I thought I would ask for help rather than making circles for another hour.

    Any advice?  Thank you.

    OK, so I read all the info in this article,where to get the Airport disk utility >

    ... and I now know that 'The airport disk utility' is no longer (and does not have the article I cited above), but I'm not even see my drive hard when it is connected to the Airport Extreme.

  • Time Machine won't see drive connected to Airport Extreme

    I have a MacBook Pro 2009 (5,5), El Capitan running. I just replaced the HD with an SSD. The OWC kit, I bought came with a USB for my old HD box. I want to use this drive as my Time Machine as my old drive to WD firewire crapped out. The old MBP disk is inside OS X extended (journaled) formatting and goes up as a network drive in my finder when it is connected to my Airport Extreme. Time Machine won't see unless it is connected directly to the USB port on the MPB.

    The first thought that comes to mind here is to make sure that you have the latest version of 'tour' of the AirPort Extreme, which officially supports Time Machine backups on a drive to the USB port of the device.

    Is this the case?

    All the old 'flat' or 'square' of the AirPort Extreme versions don't support officially the backups Time Machine on a drive to the USB port on the device... even though we used to see messages from time to time users who claimed that it worked for them... at least for a while before he didn t.

  • Airport express base station at will without connect to airport extreme

    I tried to get my airPort Express to connect to the extreme via my iphone using the application configuration of the airport. He finds the express and he knows I have the extreme. I said I want to extend my current network and finds it units, but I receive and message error "an unexpected error has occurred" try again, I tried several times but to no avail.

    Is your goal to have the Express to extend the reach of the extreme wireless using a wireless connection between them? If so, temporarily bring the Express in the same room that the extreme and then, use your iPhone AirPort Utility to try setting them up again. Please post back your results.

  • NETGEAR EX3700 AC Extender connect to airport extreme

    I have a ca Airport Extreme router and I am trying to use an extension cord of AC EX3700 Netgear instead of an Apple Express which only supports "N". Everyone was able to integrate the Netgear to their network?

    I have no experience with the Netgear, but I used other extensions of the apple airport wireless that work...

    The EX3700 is only AC750... which really means that it is a device of a single AC flow which will not be faster that the express... nothing in fact because the last express will do 450Mbit on 5 GHz... AS FAR AS I KNOW...

    Anyway... first thing...

    Change the EI setting to give the 5 GHz a different name at 2.4 ghz.

    Do this in Options wireless...

    Use a short name without spaces and pure alphanumeric... for example AE5ghz

    You can also set the channel wireless for 5 GHz to a known value... EG 36 or 149... everything is allowed in your country.

    Now, try and connect to 5 GHz Wireless... If it still does not... remove the WPA2 password... and try (briefly) without security.

    Test on both channels, I have proposed... If they are legal in your area.

    If the Netgear does not connect with AE in the conditions I just of... It would never work... Sorry, but not all wireless will work... nature of the beastie.

    If you get it to go immediately add a password... WPA2 Personal... and the password should be numbers and breaks mixed alphanumeric pure... 8 to 12 characters... failure... Take him back to wpa1 & 2 which is a bit more compatible.

    the c7250 will not print. I deleted the printer from the print queue of the printer apple and I tried to reset the printer... but essentially, it cannot find the extreme network from the airport during the Setup Wizard.  I have to manually enter the name of the network and it will find it yet.  the printer is 2 feet from the router.  Apple said that there is a problem of HP.

    Thanks for your help!

    We will reset the printer to see if the radio comes back to life:

    Turn off the printer, hold it # and 6 keys everything back on.

    If this does not work, you can connect with an Ethernet cable (if practical).  In the case opposite sound will repair or replace time.
