• 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.

• Loading slow web page and with Airport Extreme connection speeds

  About 5 days ago, I noticed a significant slow down the loading of web pages. In some cases, I see a blank white screen for up to a minute before the page is loaded. In others, the page never loads at all. And sometimes they load very quickly as expected. This happens with my iMac that is connected to a router via ethernet, as well as my Macbook Air connected via Wifi to Airport Extreme.

  I have a high-speed internet connection by cable Comcast/Xfinity: Blast 250Mbps.

  I tried to connect my iMac directly on the model of cable (Arris Surfboard SB6183), and there is no problem. Download speed was 30Mbps 300Mbps and upload.

  Then, I plugged my Airport Extreme router again and connected the iMac to the router via Ethernet. Download speed dropped to 100 Mbps!

  This suggests that the problem may be with the Airport Express. It is not a wireless problem, because as you can see the download speed went from 300Mbp/s connected directly to the model 100 Mbps when connected to the Airport Extreme.

  How do I troubleshoot/fix this?

  One last thing: I did a speed test with my Macbook Air that is connected via Wifi and the Airport Extreme router. Download speed dropped to 35 MB/s.

  Direct connection to the modem is so very fast, suggesting the internet connection Comcast isn't the issue. Speed falls even with ethernet to the Airport Extreme router connection, then decreases even more with the Wifi connection.

• How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?

  How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to 5G only?   I live in a condo with too many wireless users who is in the band of 2.5 G.  I want to blow up all my systems to just 5 G so I did not so much downtime on Wi - Fi connections.    THX u.

  You can't disable the radio 2.4 GHz on the AirPort Extreme. At best, you can rename your network 5 GHz with a different name from that of the 2.4 GHz radio. You can then connect your clients to the 5 GHz network wirelessly. However, the downside there is that the higher frequency band has more difficulty to walk through walls and you can not find the signal outside the room that the base station can be used.

• A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.

  A network that extends with AirPort Extreme is causing Internet failure.  When I unplug the extreme internet works fine.  What is the problem?  The extreme old used to be the main, but I reset when I bought the new Time Capsule.  Time Capsule is now the principal.  We had extensive network in the House for over a year with no problems until I put the Capsule in the mixture.  Why they arrive as well as the other?

  Is AirPort Extreme 'extension' of the network by wireless connection to the Capsule of time... or... AirPort Extreme connects to time Capsule using an Ethernet cable connection?

  Recently bought studio 15 laptop with windows 7 and I try to run need for speed pc underground game on her, but she does not appear and the message "speed.exe has stopped working" appears on the screen. can someone help us?

  Hi Andy,.

  I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

• Slow wifi transfer rates with Airport Extreme network.

  I have an Airport extreme Rev 5 and am trying to transfer files between 2 Mac on the network. Everything works fine, but the transfer speed is only about 2.5 meg per second. Should get more than that?

  Everything works well, I get my full bandwidth from my ISP (11.8 Mbps) when downloading via wifi, it s just during the transfer of files within the wifi network that things are slowing down.

  Thanks for any help

  Tim

  Wireless is inefficient when you double jump... This means that... both computers are transfer of files via the Wi - Fi because wireless deals actually double the packages... So he immediately reduces speed by 50%.

  Let us ensure that we are using right units first.

  1. your download from the internet is measured in bits per second... Please use b for forests.

  2. your file transfer is measured in bytes per second... Please use B for bytes.

  So, if you look at the monitor of activity... a copy of computer file wireless to NAS (ethernet) ran at 38-40 MB/s

  

  If I transfer to another computer that is also the wireless speed would be halved. Or worse... (see below, even with AC wireless is far worse) depends on the slower links.

  So how do you measure the speed of file transfer and is it bits or bytes per second?

  What is the speed of connection on each computer.

  Hold down the option key and click on the fan wireless.

  

  You can see that this computer has a 450Mbps link speed... It will never transfer files to that more than half, but you wait for connections at full speed to get the best links.

  My new computer...

  

  So if I transfer the computer file to another, it looks like this.

  

  Even with that wireless, it's much slower than the SIN that has ethernet and spinning drive... The computer has SSD.

• How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

  Data sheet:

  Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

  Luma Surround Wifi 8

  I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

  I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

  I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

  Thanks for your time...

  Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

  In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

  • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
  • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
  • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

  To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.

• Network with Airport Extreme problems connected to the Linksys switch

  I have a wired network in my house.  It has the following configuration: Modem base station Airport Extreme for Linksys switch and then all wired connections.  It is in a wiring closet in a room upstairs.  I have 2 other extremes from the airport, to spread out of the range, but they are currently disabled and disconnected from the network until I have found why I get auto ip address on several of my wired connections.  I have reset the modem, EI and switch.  More wired connections seem to be working very well, but there are 4 or 5 who say that the ethernet cable is connected, but it can not connect to the internet because of a self assigned ip address.  I thought maybe it was a problem with the port of the switch, but when I plugged a cable work in, everything worked again.  Thus, for example, on my iMac, in a study downstairs, I had plugged on the ethernet port in the wall.  He let me only to connect to wireless internet.  He says the ethernet connection had a self assigned ip.  I went upstairs and took the cable from the switch and directly connected to the Airport Extreme, and then connect to this iMac worked fine via ethernet.  So I'm really confused as to why it does not work when it is connected to the switch.  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Why are only a few connections ethernet works and others not?

  Because either you have a bad port on the switch (unlikely, but possible) or a wired Ethernet connection bad, or maybe both ends of several of the Ethernet cables (99% of the time, the problem is in the wiring or connectors Ethernet... not the switch).

  But, we must test the switch first and then work from there.  It might be much easier to call a guy from wire or the custom installation specialist to do all this for you, but if you want to give it a try... Here's how.  It is not difficult at this stage, just take some time.

  Unplug the switch except the Ethernet cable that connects the AirPort Extreme to each cable Ethernet switch.  Label each Ethernet cable with a number or a letter you can install the wires in their original position on the switch.

  Use of a laptop computer with an Ethernet port and a short, spare Ethernet cable... virtually no matter what length will make... and turn off the WiFi on the laptop so it should use Ethernet to connect to Internet.

  Test an Ethernet port on the switch with the laptop and the Ethernet cable to make sure that you have get a good Internet connection. If you do so, test the next port of the switch. Continue until all ports of the switch has been tested.  With luck, they will all work.

  If this is the case... which is likely... then you know that the Ethernet switch is working properly.

  Now things get a little more complicated. Ideally, you have documentation that tells you what Ethernet cable goes to what area of the House. If you don't, just connect the Ethernet cable to the switch... then go to the other end of the Ethernet cable to the wall outlet and connect the computer laptop and short Ethernet cable to the wall socket.

  If you have no documentation to indicate where each cable goes, so go ahead and connect all the Ethernet cables to the switch.

  Still, make sure that the wireless is disabled on the laptop so that it can only connect to the Internet via an Ethernet connection. Check if you can get a good connection Internet in this way. If you can, then you know that the individual Ethernet cable and the Ethernet port on the wall are working properly...

  Test other areas one at a time the same way.  You are very likely going to find Ethernet cables or a wall of ports that do not work properly. The hardest part here is that you... or a wire guy... will have to check the Ethernet cable at both ends to ensure that the Ethernet Sockets have been installed correctly.  It is not easy. The wires are tiny and its easy to get involved.  Installation of new Ethernet cards, it's really a job for an experienced guy who will provide hopefully a cable Tester well when it comes.

  Some Ethernet will certainly be replaced.  In rare cases, the cable itself has a break somewhere... and it's not easy to fix something like this, without pulling new cable... that would not be possible according to the House provision.

  When you know that all ports on the switch are working and all ports Ethernet wall around the House work... so... we can get the network set in place and working properly.

• Problems with AirPort Extreme and Qwest Modem/Router.

  I have a Qwest ActionTec 1000 DSL VDSL2 gateway and want to disable the functions of router wireless and those through direct AirPort Extreme. I know that in the Modem I have to disable the functions of addressing and turn them in the AirPort Extreme to avoid address conflicts, but what are the settings I need to change in both devices? And what is "A Transparent bridging" on the side of the modem?

  But what are the settings I need to change in both devices?

  Sorry, we can't help on the settings for the modem/router, because it would be a question of Qwest as to if this is even possible and if so, if Qwest will support this type of installation. Sometimes the ISP lock modem/router settings, and although it seems as if you can change the basic configuration of the unit, you can really.

  Yes, it is possible that another user of Qwest has done with the same modem/router you have and an AirPort Extreme... and may know the answer... but the chances of the person who holds this information also to see this post are slightly above zero. But, I guess it's possible.

  If the modem/router can be configured to operate only as a simple modem, then the next step would be to get your Mac connected directly to the modem to test the connection in this way. If Qwest is going to help you, they will do it no doubt with your Mac connected directly to the "modem" as well.

  Once you know the exact details of the PPPoE authentication to establish a connection, these parameters can be transferred to the AirPort Extreme and removed from your Mac. To do this, you reset the AirPort Extreme back to default and then put settings in place again. The installer should detect the PPPoE connection and then ask for your login information.  After this, the correct settings apply to AirPort Extreme during the installation.  You can still use the same wireless network name and password you used before if you wish, or set up a new network name and password.

  PPPoE on the routers of the airport, at least in my experience, was not a reliable way to connect when I tried this in the past, but you don't really know how well... or even if... it will work until try you it. Unless you really want the airport to distribute IP addresses to devices on your network, things would be a lot more simple if you went ahead and used the modem/router "such what" and then let the airport works in Bridge Mode to transfer information in connection with network devices.

  When you have the modem/router converted to act as a simple modem and made a successful connection using your Mac connected directly to the "modem", post back and we can help with the configuration of the AirPort Extreme if you need more advice.

• Configure my AirPort Extreme

  Can someone please show me the best configuration for my AirPort Extreme, I have the internet provider cable (Charter Communications) and I am connected to the modem via an ethernet cable and connected to AirPort Extreme to my iMac via an ethernet cable. What should be my settings in AirPort Utility for maximum speed for my wireless devices, i.e. the iPhones and iPads.

  Thank you

  AirPort Extreme is already set to provide maximum speeds, so there is not really what you would normally do in the way of adjustment of parameters of AirPort Utility for maximum performance.

  The Airport offers simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals using the same name of wireless network for both bands.  Wireless devices will pick up and choose the best connection based on their abilities and the distance to the airport.

  If you have a number of 5 GHz devices which will be normally located near the AirPort Extreme, you can use AirPort Utility option to assign a name different to the 5 GHz band wireless network to ensure that the devices always connect to the 5 GHz network.

  Personally, I do not use this option, because I'd rather have the devices to choose their stronger ... not necessarily the fastest connection link, but some users swear by assign a different name to the network 5 GHz and their pointing devices then to this network. This works well if the devices that support 5 GHz are close to the airport, but if the camera moves a few rooms away, it will tend to cling to the connection of 5 GHz when the 2.4 GHz connection is stronger and also probably faster at this place.

  Otherwise, the wireless is quite simple. Signals are fast and powerful, when a unit's line of sight at the airport. As a device moves away, the connection will slow down. If there are walls or other obstacles in the path of the signal, the signal will slow down even more try to get through the obstacles.

• Everyone try to use app VLC with Airport Extreme by car?

  I have the new VLC app installed on my Apple TV4. I also have a USB drive connected to my current gen Airport Extreme. I have a video file (Video_TS) residing on the drive from the airport. When I run VLC on the ATV4, under the "local network" menu, I regard the airport as an SMB share. When I connect to the share, I get a message of "empty folder" app VLC.

  If I run the VLC app on my iMac I can select content from the airport drive and play it wihtout back issue.

  I learn about the network that I proceed. Any help as to how I would get VLC to see the files on my Airport Extreme?

  I'm having this same problem. I even tried MrMc with no luck.

• Help with airport extreme

  My router 'House' is a Belkin AC1200.  I have an airport extreme and an additional airport express.  I want to connect the units two the most convenient airport for the Belkin to use extenders.  The extreme currently directly connected to the Belkin but all up like the old network with the express acting as a bridge.  This seems to work OK sometimes, but the extreme tends to abandon the Belkin remains consistent.  Looking for assistance to resolve this before the purchase of new equipment.

  Thank you

  Your problem may be in a number of places.

  Sorry, but the details are important. We can not pass without descending to real connections and strength wireless etc.

  I guess the main router Belkin is fortunately network control.

  The extreme must be connected by ethernet to it... and the installer in Bridge mode.

  The Express could be either connected directly to wireless mode extend extreme or aid which I assume is what you mean by bridge.

  Now, it is important to know exactly how everything here is the installer... so please do some screenshots you can post... Especially look at the wireless between the extreme and express.

  Click on the extreme wired and give me summary page... and then one like mine... Move your pointer over the connection: still unknown since El Capitan. It will bring up then some details of the connection that is important.

  

  If your computer is a link to the Belkin don't expect Airport appears with reliability. There are a number of reasons for this, but one is local domain. Please define the Belkin locally if possible... but even this is often not enough to get Apple's DNS works reliably.
