• My Airport Extreme is overheating after having 2 years.

  My Airport Extreme (part number ME918LL/A) after two years is more hear a lot with the fan running all the time. I tried to keep it dusted but I'm afraid it's to have pulled up in the router by the fan. Is it possible to clean the dust router, it pulls in? I'm surprised that there no air holes near the top of him to help cool.

  I hope you have AppleCare implemented on a Mac or other device... covering AirPort Extreme for up to 3 years from the date of purchase. If so, take the airport an Apple Retail Store or contact Apple's Support to get a replacement AirPort Extreme.

  If you have no grip under warranty for a replacement, then your only other option would be to open the AirPort Extreme and try to clean or replace the fan. Apple doesn't offer spare parts, but you may be able to find a suitable fan replacement if a good cleaning does not cure the noise and heat issue.

  This article will give some tips on setting inside the AirPort Extreme and poking around.

• I lost my WiFi signal after having placed a time Capsule in the system. Now the Airport Extreme will not recognize the system. Any ideas?

  Any ideas on why my Airport Extreme will not recognize the system after the integration of the time Capsule in my system? Continues to have a flashing yellow light after trying all suggestions of technicians from the Apple Store and Internet provider.

  Since we don't know all what has been tried, we will have to start from the beginning if you don't mind.

  What exact models are your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet? I'll assume that Extreme is your "main" router and is directly connected to the modem by Ethernet... correct?

  Do you have the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the extreme, by wire or wireless? What is your goal for the TC? In other words, will not be used to extend the reach of the extreme wireless?

• Why Airport Extreme disappeared from Airport utility, after adding to the mac feature?

  10.11 OS, with the version of the airport, 6.3.6.  I can see is no longer my Airport Extreme Airport utility after I activated to Mac. I have Airport Extreme base ME91899/A and two Airport Express units model A1392 bolt torque.  I set up the Airport Extreme unit and the network first.  I was able to see the Airport utility. I then added each airport express unit. They were also visible. Then I added back the ability of Mac to the Airport extreme unit, and now it is no longer visible in the Airport utility.  Why is this?

  Apple has problems much time with iCloud. Turn off Back to My Mac across your airport routers and then shut down and restart the entire network.

  We will have to wait for a fix from Apple.

• Why can't I update my Airport extreme Firmware?

  Why can I update my Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd generation) Firmware?

  He keeps asking me to put in my password once I've done without end.

  If I forgot the right one, where can I find the right pair?

  Keychain Access (password of the show) is without help. It is to show that it took me several times!

  Thank you for your time and patience,

  W.W.

  Unfortunately, your message you can think that you only have a single password for AirPort Extreme, when you have two, and maybe three.

  (1) wireless network Password... used to connect wireless devices to your wireless network

  (2) basic password Station... a device password used to access the settings in AirPort Extreme AirPort utility so that you can make changes to the configuration of the airport and install the new firmware updates

  (3) disk password... an option that can be configured to require that a password can be entered to access the data on a hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme. Most users use the password for the Base Station for this.

  You think maybe the wireless password when enter you the AirPort Utility?  If you are, you must enter the password for the Base Station. If you forgot, you can recover it from keychain access, everything as you got the password wireless.  Looking for a list of AirPort Base Station password.

• Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  Why has my connection AirPort Extreme recently stopped with my Tablet Android and Windows 7 laptop, but connects very well with all Apple devices?

  What exact model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Either have your tablet or laptop Win7 been updated recently? They were both able to connect before and not now OR they were never able to connect? Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?

• 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!

• Why can't I use my Airport Extreme routers to extend my Google fiber network?

  I had waited for a long time, and finally got Google fiber installed at my house this afternoon.  I had been so excited and had everything for my home network mapped out.

  I've never used router Wi - Fi an ISP, but I read that so many good things about the fiber of Google box Wi - Fi I had planned to make the core of my Wi - Fi network home.  The plan was to have the Google through my home box.

  I have two base stations Airport Extreme AC I used with my old set up with Time Warner.  My plan was to use to extend my Google Wi - Fi network with a floor and one on the ground floor. Unfortunately, I can not understand how to get there.

  I did a hard reset on two of my Airport Extreme routers and went to set them up as extensions, but I can't do it.  I have open Airport utility, select my device, choose 'Other Options', select 'Add to an existing network' and click Next...  Each time, my only option is to create a new network.

  Does anyone know a way around this?  I would really like to be able to have a base station wireless AC in every room of my house.  I also need the Airport Extreme routers set up somewhere in the chain so I can continue to do my wireless Time Machine backups.  Any tips?  I am currently very frustrated.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Unfortunately, Apple routers will not be able to extend wireless signal of a 3rd party router. Or, another way of saying the same thing, is that routers Apple will extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple.

  If you could install another Apple router near the Google router and connect the Apple router using an Ethernet cable to the router fiber, and configure the router from Apple provides wireless... then... other airports will be able to extend the signal of the "main" Apple router

  You can use the fiber for a second wireless network or comments... or... If you need another network, there is probably a way to disable the wireless router fiber.

  Another option... If possible... would be to run both of your Apple routers Ethernet cables to the router of fiber. Then, Apple routers can be configured to extend the network of fiber like that.  Note that Ethernet cables should be left in place permanently with this option.

• Airport Extreme connected to TIVO: why I can not change Type firewall for IPv4.  Field displays IPv6 and is grayed out so I can't change.

  TIVO requires certain ports to be unblocked.  So I try to add the ports requiring TIVO.  But when you try to add the default Type of firewall IPv6 Port Mapping ports and I can't change the value of the IPv4 Port Mapping because the input field is grayed out and no is not accessible.  With Port IPv6 mapping I enter values in all areas except for the IPv6 address because I do not know what value to enter.  I think the button 'save' ' is not available to hit because the IPv6 address field is empty or not valid.  Note: my router Mode is ' Off (Bridge Mode).  Same questions if my router DHCP Mode.

  I changed my router Mode DHCP and NAT, then on the Type of firewall on the default page add ports, IPv4 Port Mapping and I could add ports but with this setting, I couldn't connect to internet in my Airport Extreme: my status remains orange light flashing.

  I use Comcast and my Airport Extreme is connected to my Comcast router using ethernet.

  I use my Airport Extreme as a router (wired and WIRELESS) and as a backup device.

  My TIVO is connected to my Airport Extreme using ethernet.

  How can I add the Ports requiring TIVO.

  Golden in the networking rule. ....... Never try to configure port mapping when you have two devices on the same network the two acting as a router.

  Unfortunately, this is exactly what you're trying to do.

  You have three options:

  (1) run the Comcast router "as what" and configure the port on the device of Comcast mapping... .the airPort Extreme must be configured in Bridge Mode when you do this.

  (2) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... the peripheral Comcast must be configured to operate as a simple modem in Bridge Mode when you do this. 

  
  

  (3) lance to the AirPort Extreme router Mode of DHCP and NAT and configure the ports on the airport map... swap Comcast modem/router you have now for a simple modem (it will have only a single Ethernet port).

  In other words, either the Comcast is defined as the router and AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode... or... the AiPort Extreme is configured as a router and Comcast must be configured in Bridge Mode.

  If you choose Option 1, then we can not help you on a matter of Comcast router. In bridged Mode, the AirPort Extreme requires no configuration.

  If you choose Option 2 or Option 3, then we the following port values that the Tivo device needs:

  Public or UDP ports

  Public TCP

  UDP private

  Private TCP

  In addition, you need to find the MAC address for the TIVO.  It is a long code that looks something like this, for example:

  A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F6

  A link to the Tivo instructions for port mapping would also be very useful.  I have done this with a TIVO in the past, but is for some years.

  If all goes well, an expert of TIVO will post to lend a hand.

• HP OfficeJet L7780 802.11 g - why it cannot find my Apple Airport Extreme?

  I bought a HP officeJet L77380 all-in-one printer/fax, etc. It is designated in 802.11 g I turned the radio network / wireless 'on '. When I choose Network/Wireless Wizard I get a rotating cursor and the message «Search» router wireless... "and he never finds anything. "I chose my Airport Extreme Radio Mode Setup: 802.11n (802. 11 b / g compatible). It still does not work. Help! And a Happy New Year in this Discussion Forum.

  I downloaded and reinstalled the current driver.  It works fine when it is connected to the Airport Extreme, even via an ethernet cable.  I posted this to the talk of HP and they told me to contact the Apple Support! (this shows how useless this company may be!).  I also spent an hour on the phone with HP support and it turns out that they put me thro' for their expert XP and there weren't available Mac technicians.  Well - it's Saturday night!

  Just to be clear, you're saying your L7780 is unable to discover your network wireless printer Wireless Setup Assistant?

  BTW - I run a 802.11n Airport Extreme wireless router at home and my HP wireless printers work fine.

  I would like to see the report of internal connectivity of the printer.  Press the < configuration > and <># keys simultaneously.   Analyze the report on a memory card, copy it to your PC and post the image here.

  The connectivity report will give me details about your wireless network and the networks in the region.

  Also, what other wireless devices you have connected to your network?

• Why is there a number after the name of my Airport extreme?

  Your photo came not.

  But if you have a set of numbers... This is errors.

  

  I have a red circle showing three mistakes... they appear when you click the Airport Extreme in the utility.

  Click to get rid of the errors on each of them and fix it. Or some of them that you can ignore it.

  

• Airport Extreme dislike gigabit speed

  I'm having a strange problem. Backstory... I have an older Ooma VoIP device. It works very well.  The connection is Modem > Ooma > router - my modem (ARRIS Surfboard SB6141) and I use Airport Extreme. When the devices are connected as indicated everything works fine. The modem has a 'connection' light which is orange with this configuration. According to the manual of the modem, this light indicates Ethernet (10Base-T) or Fast Ethernet (100Base-T) is running.  When I remove the Ooma system and connect the modem directly to the router, the yellow led lights up blue saying that the signal that the modem sends is now a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T).  Sounds great, but my router then ceases to broadcast and distribute a signal, directly and without wire connected with a cat6 cable.

  You could say, then leave him alone and I can do, but I'm willing to reconfigure my system with updated Ooma device, and causes my modem from orange to blue, thus losing my Wi - Fi.  I talked to Arris (modem does not work as expected), I talked to Ooma (if the signal is working on their device, they see not the problem). So that the leaves of the router.  Can anyone figure out what's going on? Why did I lose my signal when I go directly from the modem to the router when the speed seems to be better?  (Yes, I restart both modem and router in the right order).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  David

  It seems that your Ooma device only supports (up to) 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. On the other hand, does your AirPort Extreme support 1 Gbps Ethernet.

  The reason why you can be make connectivity issues when connecting your Arris modem to an extreme that is there has been many positions related to this. Specifically and the problem of incompatibility between the SB61XX series modems and airport base stations. This is not bad in themselves, they just don't "play well" together. Typical complaints is poor, transfer rate, and inconsistent Internet connectivity.

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. Replace the Arris modem with another modem series of non-SB61XX. If you plan to go this route, you must select a modem recommended by your ISP.
  2. Replace your extreme with a non-Apple router.

• 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.
