Airport Extreme set up with Time Warner

OK. I am experiencing a similar problem as mentioned in a differnt thread, but a bit different. First my Airport Utlility is 6.3.1 so the graphics for settings are completely different. I have an ATV2, Black Mccbook and Ipad2. My problem is when I try to add a third device of the three, especially the Macbook, once I get it an assigned # via the modem (using a White, new Surfboard 6141 and Time Warner as provider), my Ipad gets dropped. Once I even lost the ATV2. The Mccbook is generating its own DHCP address. When I have it on and reboot the modem, it sets it up , but then I lose the Ipad when I turn it back on. My apple extreme in set in Bridge,(by default it is a 2007 model.Has never been a problem when I used Verizon.Where do I go from here. Been playing with this all day. Internet connect is set fort DHCP . Network is set for Bridge. I have no Ivp6 settings.

Also, I was not given instructions for set up from Time Warner. It was done via a phone call by the technician when they installed the cable. Timw Warner takes no responsibility for owned Routers and how to configure them. They just make sure the modem is probperly feeding the signal. Message was edited by: Moncrief

This is a simple cable modem, that will deliver only one IP address to the AirPort Extreme.

Bridge Mode is not the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme. It needs to be in a Router Mode of DHCP and NAT.
Bridge Mode would have been the correct setting with a Verizon modem/router......but the SB6141 is not a router....it is a simple modem.
You can try to make the settings change to see if that will work, but in most cases when you are making a modem change on a network, it is recommended to first reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings (to wipe older and possibly conflicting settings), and then configure the AirPort to work with the new modem.

Airport Extreme 6th generation and Time Warner, Arris modem - no internet on mac

After installing a new Time Warner Arris modem we have encountered the following issues:
Light is green on the airport and everything appears normal
Wifi only works on iPhones, roku, and windows laptops.
Ethernet from airport extreme is also working (xbox one works fine).
Wifi internet does NOT work on Mac computers (we have two in the house both running Yosemite). The light on the airport is green and the macs can connect to wifi but cannot connect to the internet (DNS issue?).
The wifi on my mac yosemite laptop does work on my office wireless and anywhere else but home.
Backstory:
So a few months ago I purchased a brand new 6th generation Airport Extreme 802.11ac. It worked fine with our old generic Time Warner cable modem until we forced to upgrade to a new Arris modem/router combination this weekend to upgrade our internet speeds (I don't recall the model I can get this later). We told TWC that we did not need a router and would prefer to use the Apple router but they said it would work just as before by just plugging it into the ethernet port.
Initially we had network errors and I had to change from NAT to Bridge mode on the airport extreme and this worked for about a day. The next morning I could only get internet and wifi on my iPhone or a windows machine elsewhere in the house.
What I tried (none of these worked):
resetting the router and modem worked briefly but the problem repeated itself a few hours later or after connecting to a different wireless network.
deleting network config files (http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/25/fix-wi-fi-problems-os-x-yosemite/).
deleting the wireless network from saved networks and connecting again.
Again this is a problem with mac laptops ONLY. I have no machines running an older version of OS X so I can't test that easily (I can borrow one from a friend to rule that out). We have 2 Mac computers both running yosemite and both have the same problem. Every other wireless device in the house works like a charm. Any ideas?

Using an Older (802.11g) Airport Extreme as bridge with Time Capsule

Several people have inquired about the possibility of having older (802.11g) computers and devices connected through their Time Capsules without disturbing the 802.11n capabilities of their newer equipment.
The latest version of Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility --
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf -- explains (pp. 48-49) that one can configure a dual-band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) network of this type by setting up the "second device [i.e., the older Airport Extreme] as a bridge." What is lacking is a clear (at least to me) way of configuring the 2.4 GHz Extreme as such a bridge, although the text states that one need only follow instructions "earlier in this chapter" (which begins at p. 14). When I try to do this, the AirPort Extreme shows up as a separate network.
Obviously, I am doing something wrong. Can someone walk me through how to configure the AirPort Extreme as a bridge?
Thanks.

The MAC support people walked me through a solution to my question about using an older (802.11g) AirPort Extreme and a Time Capsule to form a dual network. The solution turns out to be pretty easy but I am posting it in case anyone else has a similar problem.
Here's what was involved:
N-capable equipment: MacBook Pro, IMac, Time Capsule.
B/G-capable equipment: AirPort Extreme (flying saucer 802.11g); Mac G4; older (802.11g) AirPort Express supporting a network printer; IBM ThinkPad running Windows XP (w/service pack 2).
Step 1: Using AirPort Utility (manual setup), I set the Time Capsule to run at 5 GHz (click on "Wireless" then "Radio Mode". Under the same "Wireless" tab, I assigned a 13-digit WPA2 password to this network (more about this latter). If you opt to use the 5GHz frequency, you have the choice of WPA2 or nothing. After saving your settings, exit out of the AirPort Utility; you are done with the Time Capsule.
Step 2: Reset the AirPort Extreme to its default settings by depressing the small reset button while the device is plugged in.
Step 3: I reopened AirPort Utility, accessed the Extreme and clicked manual setup. (You will loose your connection to the Time Capsule at this point, but this is okay.) At the top of the screen that opens in response to clicking "manual setup," click "internet" and set "connection sharing" to "Off (Bridge Mode)" Next click "AirPort" at the very top of the screen: under "Base Station" I named the Extreme as "G network" and set up a network password. Under "Wireless" I next set up a WEP 40 bit password which was identical to the WPA2 password I used for the Time Capsule. Using a WEP password was necessary, because some of the older computers were not WPA2 compatible. I kept the passwords identical simply as a matter of convenience.
Step 4: Connect the AirPort Extreme to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable between the WAN port of the Extreme, and one of the three LAN ports on the Time Capsule. There is a small, green LED recessed in the LAN port socket; if it lights up, you are in business.
Step 5: Using a pin, I reset the 802.11g AirPort Express to its default settings, opened AirPort Utility (no need for manual setup for this), named the Express "Printer" and added it to the G network in a conventional manner by following the setup prompts. (If anyone needs help with this, let me know). Exit out of AirPort Utility and reopen it to refresh; all wireless devices (3 in my case) should be visible and lighted green.
Step 6: I set up the MacBook Pro and the IMac to join the 5 GHz Time Capsule network, and everything else to run on the G network. At this point, everything appears to be working. I can, for example, print a document from my MacBook Pro (N-network) to the network printer which on the G-network. (Because the older computers belong to my daughters, I'll never know if file sharing across the networks is a possibility.)
I take no credit for any of this; it was all accomplished through the efforts of very patient MAC support people.

Airport Extreme (Dual band) with Time Capsule (Dual band) Extension problem

Hi
I have an airport extreme (dual band) set up with a dual band Time capsule extending the 5ghz band .. however the mac address that the time capsule says its using is the 2.4ghz band.. I only noticed this while setting up static IP addresses on my network... does this mean it is extending the 5ghz network on a 2.4 ghz band? how do i set it up to just extend the 5ghz properly.. any clarification would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Using Airport Extreme as Bridge with Time Capsule

I recently replaced an Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule, which has been great. However, I would like to use the Airport Extreme in bridge mode to extend the range of my wireless network. I don't want to use WDS, so I've connected the two via ethernet. So, the setup is this:
Cable modem connected to Time Capsule WAN Port
Time Capsule creating 802.11N (b/g compatible) network
Airport Extreme connected to one of the Time Capsule's LAN ports
However, the Airport Extreme doesn't have an option for "Extend a wireless network" under Wireless Mode - it just has "Create a wireless network" and "Participate in a WDS network".
My goal is to have the Airport Extreme essentially acting as a remote antenna for the network being created by the Time Capsule. Is this not possible? Is it because of the difference in wireless speed (N vs. G)?

However, the Airport Extreme doesn't have an option for "Extend a wireless network" under Wireless Mode - it just has "Create a wireless network" and "Participate in a WDS network".
The "extend" option is only applicable to 802.11n capable devices. However this doesn't matter since the "extend" option and WDS are both used for wirelessly extending a network. Since you are not doing that, you will not use either of those.
You should configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to create a wireless network. You would configure the AEBS to use the same SSID (Network name) as the Time Capsule as well as the same wireless encryption type/level/password. To reduce interference, you would configure the AEBS to use a channel as far from the one used by the Time Capsule as possible.

Backup airport extreme usb disk with time machine

Can I use Time Machine to backup a usb disk attached to an Airport Extreme?

no.
TM does not back up networked drives. check out ChronoSync.

Recently upgraded my service with Time Warner Cable to Extreme speed and got a new Motorola Surfboard SBG6580, now I get Error -50 constantly. Anyone else have this issue?

I just upgraded my service to Extreme with Time Warner Cable and got the motorola surfboard sbg6580 modem. Now when I try to dowload any videos or TV shows on iTunes, I get an Error -50 mid download. Anyone have a solution for this? I am using a PC, not a Mac computer.

I don't want a used replacement phone when I just bought mine. I have had your "like new" replacements before for my basic phone and had a ton of issues straight out of the box, which is why I don't want one when my phone is so new and I have had issues since day 1! Not once on my several calls to tech support, did anyone tell me to go exchange it the first 2 weeks. That is just one reason they want to send me a replacement. Another is the USB does not work properly, I can't use it to do anything but charge the phone- and my husband has the same phone so I know is not the cord or the computer because his works perfectly. The connection was sporadic so I just installed a new SIM card. So far that has helped with dropping 4g all the time. I have never been able to back up my contacts, spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support the first night I got it just trying to sync the contacts from my old phone. It never worked, I had to hand input the numbers. If Verizon won't do right by be and give me a new phone, I at least would like them to get mine working like it should have when I bought it.

New Airport Extreme not working with my Quad Macpro

Hi all-
My Linksys 902.11b router finally died and our household is now completely Mac-based (all with Airport Extreme cards), so I decided to take the plunge and get an Airport Extreme.
2 of the machines on my home's network are doing fine with the router and are getting good speeds - iMac Dual 2.4 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine / Macbook Dual 2.0 (10.5.1) - Both the wired and wireless connections are solid with this machine as well.
I have a Macpro Quad 2.66 machine running 10.4.11. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 yet on this machine since it's being used in my recording studio business and there are known issues with some of my apps and 10.5 at the moment.
The Quad can see the network and has seemingly strong signal from the Airport Extreme BS, but DHCP reception is inconsistent (the machine often eds up using a self-assigned IP for some reason) and IP connectivity in general is inconsistent, even when an appropriate static LAN IP is manually setup. I can often get to a few webpages while using a manually config'd IP, but only with very slow DL speeds and then the connection quickly disappears and drops out entirely.
The AExtreme is setup like this: DSL Modem-->Airport Extreme (config'd with a static IP from my ISP) -->DHCP broadcast dummy IP's to my network. Currently I've not setup any security since I'm in the process of troubleshooting and I don't want to further complicate the situation. Radio-mode on the AExtreme is set to 802.11n (b/g compatible)/Channel 1. I've tried numerous config setups on the AExtreme, but none have helped the situation.
I've also disabled IPv6 on all clients per some reading on the forums of possible issues.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Is it perhaps an issue because the Macpro's using 10.4.11?
FYI, I've also also got an extra Airport Express around that's not being used that could be used as a repeater/wired connection downstairs if broadcast strength is the issue, which seems somewhat unlikely to me. I'm not sure how to config the AExpress to work in this capacity though, so if anyone could point me to a tutorial I'd appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance.
Lee

I just did some more testing using an app mentioned here on the forums, iStumbler. The app offered these details:
- Signal Strength is between 45%-56%
- Noise is between 24%-41%
- Freq = 2412
- No websites load despite it's seeing the router and saying we've joined it.
I also did a screen capture of the iStumbler's screen in case that's helpful. There were several bits of info I wasn't sure about.
Here's the screen grab: http://www.pbase.com/infiniteposse/image/91793322/original

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab below the icons
Select Timed Access
For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
Controlling access to your wireless network
A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

AirPort Extreme Connection Failed with Hard Disk EVERYDAY!

This is getting really annoying now, I have currently three x 2TB hard drives plugged into the AirPort Extreme via a 4 Bay Enclosure.
Everyday, now and then, the connection fails. Meaning it wont let me backup and says "Couldn't find disk". And nor can I access the hard drives on the AirPort Extreme with finder, it just says Connection Failed. Nor can I open up airport utility, it says Reading Settings and then it says "input password to check settings on AirPort Extreme" so I put in the password and it loops over again.
Only way I can fix it is unplugging and pugging the AirPort Extreme back in.. WHY!!!!!!!!!?????? The AEBSn is in my basement along with the drives, it's very very very annoying. How do I fix it?
ALSO I NOTICED THAT THE INTERNET ONLY WORKS ON MY MACBOOK AIR and DOES NOT WORK ON MY WINDOWS 7 MACHINE, when this happens.

Exact same problem here. It used to really work well, Time Machine and all -- some Airport Extreme firmware revisions back. But whether it's changes to firmware or something else I don't know. It just started dropping the share point all the time and I'd have to restart or power cycle the Extreme to get it back. The shared printing to an HP Laserjet 1200 connected to the Extreme consistently works, never fails from any Mac in the house.
My solution: I gave up. I have a good high-powered hub -- the one I was using for printer and hard drive on the Extreme -- that can consistently support two externally powered USB drives. (I already have another external hard drive connected to my MacBook Air because my iTunes library finally outgrew the Air's built-in drive.) So I took the hub from the Extreme, plugged it in to the Air, connected my iTunes library hard drive and the storage/Time Machine hard drive to the hub.
Honestly, I prefer it this way. Printing works great via the Extreme USB connected printer. The network connection locally and to the Internet works great. Now Time Machine consistently works with the drive locally connected. I wouldn't even trade it for a Time Capsule because I'd still be dealing with Wi-Fi speeds. Doing a full Time Machine backup, about 107 GB, to the networked Time Machine volume took about 9 hours over pure 802.11n. Incremental backups and indexing those backups sometimes slowed my Air to a crawl. Connected via the hub to the Air the full backup took 90 minutes and incrementals I don't even notice are running. I rarely have reason to retrieve things from Time Machine, but just going into it takes like no time now. As fast or faster than starting other applications. And when I go mobile with the Air, I just eject the external hard drives and pull the hub's USB connector.
Sorry I don't have anything in the way of a real solution. But I'd long ago switched the other Macs in the house to locally connected external USB drives for Time Machine -- and nobody makes critical changes to the data on those Macs on a regular basis, anyway.
So I just got sick of pulling my hair out, I was the only one using the Airport Extreme networked drive for Time Machine or anything else. I threw in the towel. I spend two or three times the money on Macs than "comparable" Windows computers would cost me and I do that because I'm not by trade a technician. I just want to do my work, the part of it requring a computer, with no hassles. I can learn these technical troubleshooting things but that gets in the way of what I really do for work. So when I have my pricey Mac not properly connecting to my pricey Airport Extreme and I've spent hours and hours reconfiguring and trying to suss it out, I'll happily concede the battle and get back to the rest of my life.

Airport extreme quit working with mac,dell etc.digital cable the issue? or?

Hi! I had luck here before, so I'm hoping I can find luck again! I'm with my folks, who run a Dell Desktop with WIndows XP Home Edition with cable modem, my Airport Extreme running wireless with my Macbook (listed) and an older than old dell notebook with a wireless card. It has been running fine for the last year.
Now, the new problem: My parents upgraded their phone to digital- so for the first week or so, every time the phone rang, I lost wireless- I presume from interference. On Monday, I was online, and was abruptly cut off. I was not able to get on again for the rest of the day. As sometimes the cable goes out- I didn't think much of it. Until the next day when I couldn't get back online, and the dell desktop could not get on either. My father called in to TW who walked him through several different solutions- none of which gave me wireless. I'm left with an old dell desktop to work on- (I'm a mac girl- I'm going insane). I need the stuff on my macbook- job applications to be sent, book writing for uploads- and my sanity back. Is it possible my Airport Extreme went? Is it the modem itself? Is it the wireless phone interference? My mac will show it can see the network- but can't connect to the internet- Any help at all will be greatfully accepted!
Thank you!!

What is the make/model of the new modem?
Since it sounds like your parents now have VoIP as their phone service, it might more likely be a bandwidth issue as opposed to a Wi-Fi interference issue that you are seeing. This would make sense since the Dell desktop is not able to connect to the Internet either.
One thing to try is to perform a complete power recycle of all the network components to see if this resolves the issue of connectivity. The simpliest method would be to first power everything off. Then, starting with the modem, power it back on; wait 10 - 15 minutes, and then, power-up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS); wait 5 - 10 minutes. Finally, power on the computers.
