AEBS Gigabit or not?

How can I tell if my AEBS has Gigabit or not. Purchased in June 2007.

Launch AirPort Utility on the left you should see your Extreme
Select it - and then to the right it will say one of the following:
AirPort Utility Has found an AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet) -the one you want.
AirPort Utility Has found an AirPort Extreme with 802.11n (Fast Ethernet)

  • AEBS gigabit as router keeps crashing.

    I have been using my AEBS gigabit version as a switch and wireless access point for weeks with no problems at all. Now I am using as my router. I only have 2 macs connected to it.
    The problem now is that find that my internet connection has gone down every couple of days. however when I launch the airport utility it says no base station found. If I try ping the IP of the base station I get no route to host.
    The solution is to powercyle the base station. This is not acceptable as I use my network for commercial and private reasons.
    I have now found out when the base station fails. It is when my incoming connection of 20megabits per second is maxed out and I have a large number of outgoing connections. The base station just stops routing. It still shows a green light however. This would suggest that the base station does not have enough processing power to handle an incoming connection like this as well as routing and NAT traversal.
    My linksys wrt54g router cant handle a 20 megabit incoming connection either.
    This is unfortunate as the base station works so well in other ways.
    Has anyone else come across this? or may have a solution.
    My long term plan is to build a robust linux router.

    Hi Tim Haigh-
    Sounds like you are getting too deep.
    You have a malfunctioning base station that is covered under warranty. Time to use it!

  • Mutiple Devices Connected to USB on AEBS Gigabit

    Can I connect a Powered USB Hub to the USB Port on a Gigabit AEBS and in turn connect USB Drives & Printers to the hub and have everything work?
    Thanks.

    I'm told that will work, but have not yet tried it.

  • AEBS Gigabit 802.11n FW 7.2.1 - OS X 10.5.1 Port Mapping HELP!!!!

    Hi
    I have a AEBS with Gigabit Ethernet upgraded to Firmware 7.2.1. I am running OS X Leopard 10.5.1 and I am unable to successfully forward ports. Every time I query a port that I believe to have mapped successfully it appears closed using canyouseeme.org.
    I have followed numerous instructions, but they all seem to be instructions for Tiger, I'm wondering if a setting has been missed. I have successfully assigned a static IP address to my machine but still the port appears to be closed. I do run the Leopard firewall using specific applications option (the third one), but I have also tried it with the firewall off and it still hasn't changed anything, the ports are always closed.
    So now I'm pretty much stumped. Has any one actually managed to get a setup similar to mine working, with the ports being open? All advice appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello dalyboy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Try the following to see if it will help ...
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
    o Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    o Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
    o Click "Continue"

  • AEBS gigabit fw 7.6.1 randomly slows from 1000mbps to 100mbps

    Admittedly, I have tons of home network traffic (mostly wired).  My MBP is wired to my AEBS, which is in turn routed to my 1000mbps Netgear router (FVS318G).  The router uses light combinations to show port speeds, and usually all of them are at 1000mbps.  Every few days, however, I see my AEBS port light change to 100mbps, and file transfer speeds corroborate the performance drop.  I've tried resetting both routers, DNS and everything else I can think of, and this keeps happening.
    Sometimes, for large volume transfers, I get part of the way and an unexpected error occours.  That's not the end of the world and I'm not sure if it's related.
    I'm just getting very tired of power cycling my whole network every 2 days, anybody know what may be causing this or what a fix may be?

    The cables are fine, they are fairly new CAT 6 cables terminated with keystone jacks.  I did do them myself, but no other devices using this cable have the same slowdown.  No matter which of my several CAT 6 runs I have the AEBS plugged into, the same issue occours. 
    I'm not positive about it, but I don't recall this being an issue before the upgrade to 7.6.1 to use iCloud.
    I'm wondering if somehow all the wireless activity through the AEBS (iPhones, iPads, Kindle, etc...) are having an adverse effect at all.

  • Is Time Capsule Apple's way of admitting AEBS Disks does not work?

    The support/discussion area is full of posts from many of us who have struggled to find a working solution for our Airport Extreme Base Stations with an attached disk drive; our frustration and patience has been tested as this was a promised technology, advertised to work at sale of the AEBS. Moreover, Apple touted the wireless backup with Time Machine as Leopard got close to shipment, but pulled the technology at the last minute.
    So my question to Apple is, are you now admitting that AEBS + Disk simply does not work, and if so what are you going to do for those of us to bought into a technology promise that has simply failed?
    Any insight, suggestions, patches, or even communication would be a HUGE and welcome change given the misinformation we have endured to date.

    Interesting points from several of you. I am sure if these are global issue I might not have encountered them due to my light usage of AEBS external disk to date. That stems of course from my heavy usage of my Linux server mentioned earlier. I am sure that I might encounter some of them if a moved all my data onto an "Air Disk."
    It sounds however that the problems are more OS X / Air Disk Client issues than AEBS from this point of view. Without actively troubleshooting them it's hard telling. Just a couple thoughts - please ignore if already covered elsewhere:
    1. For the "after a couple days - vanished" issue: Have you also tried another OS other than OS X? (Windows, Linux, Solaris, BSD, anything with a samba client) Are you connecting via Air Disk or SMB? I do not know the internals of Air Disk, but I have been using the samba services of the AEBS.
    2. As for automount, this very much sounds like a problem with the Volume Manager in OS X. Have you sniffed the network to determine if the VM is sending out the request for mount?
    3. Finder not showing unless displayed/accessed via Desktop sounds 100% OS X problem.
    4. 10.4 vs. 10.5 issue again points to OS X.
    5. Access permissions: This is a common issue with NAS storage. Most times it comes back to end user not understanding the capabilities or poor/incomplete documentation of the product again causing misunderstanding. I would guess given the "it just works" mantra that the documentation is somewhat lack luster causing end user confusion.
    6. Time Machine Target: I agree and they should fix this. Especially with another near identical product being released. I expect an firmware update for the AEBS when TC is released.
    I am not trying to be a PITA, just trying to lend my knowledge/experience to the community. I have been working with carrier class networking and storage for nearly a decade. That being said, I don't expect this device to keep pace with those environments or feature sets. This is old news for that space, but cutting edge for the SOHO and consumer space. There will be bumps in the road caused by both the vendor and end user.
    I think the most important things to determine is if "Air Disk uses SMB/Bonj/etc or a proprietary application protocol. Then if the problem is with Air Disk or direct SMB access (or both.) Lastly it needs to be determined if this is a client (OS X / Air Disk) or server (AEBS) problem. These issues can not be solved until one device is pinpointed as the cause for each of these issues. Many of these in fact sound like client issues in OS X and it's supported applications. (Particularly TM sounds at fault since I can not use my SMB shares on my Linux server as a target.) I am willing to help troubleshoot, but only to an extent since we all paid Apple the money not me. =)

  • LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Gigabit/USB not recognized by Leopard

    I have successfully setup the disk on USB using OS X Tiger 10.4.10 but I cannot get the Network Preferences Pane to recognise the disk as an ethernet device under OS X Leopard 10.5 during initial installation and configuration.

    I have updated the disk's driver to version 1.1.1 from http://www.lacie.com/uk/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10105 and have tried both the IP Configurator that came on the CD and the latest version from http://www.lacie.com/uk/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10096
    Has anyone else managed to get a similar disk running ok under Leopard? I've opened a ticket with LaCie support but thought I'd throw this open to a wider audience. I'll post any feedback I get from LaCie that leads to a positive result.

    OK, I'm getting desparate here, and the only way to start a new thread is to reply to a previous thread I have (Apple, please fix the forums! No searching currently either!)
    I have a Lacie drive that died on me - not showing up on the network, and making odd clicking noises. As a last ditch attempt I bought an external USB drive enclosure and took the HD out of the Lacie enclosure. Miraculously, the drive spins up much better and without any noise. I see the drive and all it's partitions in Disk Utility however none would mount. From what I've read, Lacie has an embedded Linux OS, so the partitions are formatted that way.

    So I tried installing ExtFSManager from sourceforge, and I now two of the partitions mount and I can see the data (YAY!) However (of course) the partition I really need is not one of the ones that mount.
    Does anyone know what I could be missing, and how I can possibly get these other partitions mounted? From the listing below, it looks like the two that mounted OK are of type ext2
    dk-kridan-consulting:~ dwayne$ mount
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)

    Not sure why the others won't mount.
    I would be SO grateful to anyone who can help me out.

  • E4200 Gigabit ports not working....

    I just upgraded to an E4200 from a D-Link DIR-655.  I cannot seem to get my desktop to connect to the E4200 at 1 GBS.  My adapter is set to "auto negotiate" but will only connect at 100 MBS.  If I try forcing the adapter setting to 1 GBS, it never connects.  I can swap out my E4200 with the DIR-655 and it will connect at 1 GBS just fine.  I am using a CAT 5E cable.  Is there something I'm missing here or is the E4200 just more finicky than the the DIR-655?

    It's electronics. Maybe there is really a general hardware compatibility problem with the E4200 and the Intel adapter. Possible.
    But generally, you'll find it's more a hardware issue of either one. It's electronics. It happens all the time that some parts are not of the quality they should be. Then one device operates a little bit off the spec. Other devices may well work together with it as they tolerate the variance while other devices don't work good together with it and have problems or won't work at all.
    You can only try to find out which one might be more likely by connecting a variety of devices to your E4200 and use a variety of routers and switches to connect to the Intel and of course with a variety of cables.
    I think, generally you'll find that all ethernet devices work quite well together (at least on the ethernet level) and that if there is an issue you want to find out where the problem is and replace that device. That's just better in the long run... Otherwise it won't help you if you want to connect the next device after warranty expired and you find the same issues again...

  • ACS 1121 Gigabit 0 not working

    Hi,
    I have an ACS 1121 appliance newly shipped and the gigabit 0 interface worked initially but after reload it didn't anymore.
    Any hints?
    Regards

    Hi k abillama,
    Make sure you have connected to port 6 because port 2 and 5 are the (Blocked) Gigabit Ethernet.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.1/installation/guide/csacs_hw_ins.pdf
    As you said that it worked initially but stop working after reload, it could be a hardware issue as well if the conneciton has been made as per document mentioned.
    thanks,

  • 2011 Mini Gigabit Speed not possible with Airport Extreme

    I am unable to connect my 2011 Mac Mini to my Airport Extreme at Gigabit speeds.  If I use a Motorola SBG6580 as a router I am able to achieve Gigabit speed.  If I use my Airport Extreme or my Airport Express (both new in 2012), I am immediately kicked back to 100 Mbit speeds.
    I have already eliminated the wiring as possibility.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  Am I just out of luck if I want to use Apple to Apple devices?  I only noticed this after upgrading to Mavricks, is this possibly the answer?

    Hello woodmeister50,
    I think I found the root cause this morning.  I took my wife's MBP to all my network outlets in my house.  All connect at gigabit speed, execpt for that one outlet.  It connects at 100 Mbit.  I switched the position on the main switch, same result.  I think something is wrong with the wiring in the wall, although it is marked as CAT 5e.  I may have to rerun that outlet.  Who woudl have thought...
    Thanks again for the responses.

  • Gigabit dose not work!

    I have bought WRT610N yesterday. I have laptop and PC with Gigabit interface. But the system shows only 100 Mb. I didn’t found the setting of lan speed in WEB interface of the router. What can I do wrong?
    The Firmware Version is 1.00.03 B15  May. 14, 2009

    Good day.
    I have resolve the problem.
    It was my mistake. I have made a mistake in pressing out of patch cord.

  • USB printer recognized by A.Express but not by new A. Extreme (gigabit)

    My Canon IP4300 was automatically recognized and worked without any problems with an old Airport Express. However, with my new AEBS (gigabit ports), the printer is no longer recognized, I don't see it in the printers tab (says none).
    Surprisingly, when a Windows PC connects to the new AEBS with the printer connected to the AEBS USB port (but not recognized in the Airport Utility), the windows PC finds the printer and can connect to it. So physically, the connection can be made, thus it has to be a problem with the Airport utility?
    Quite strange that AEBS printer 'plug and play' works better with Windows PC than with Apple computers. Other people experiencing the same problem?

    Nevermind. The Epson R220 works fine on the AEBS. Wrong USB cable was plugged into the AEBS.

  • Gigabit Ethernet AEBS just connects 100Mbit in Leopard

    Hi,
    I have an AEBS Gigabit version connected via Ethernet to my Macbook. Since I upgraded to Leopard I just get an 100MBit connection. When I force my Macbook to connect at 1000 MBit, the Ethernet-connection won't work.
    Someone a solution or similar problems,
    Thx

    Since the AEBS is a stand alone device and operates the same regardless of the OS of it's clients, this isn't really an AEBS issue.
    This would seem to be an issue with Leopard and the MacBook.
    Have you tried making a Gigabit connection to any other device with your MacBook?

  • AEBS sees drive, but not the partition on it

    Hi folks,
    I try to connect a WD 1TB SATA2 drive in a Fantec USB enclosure* to my Airport Extreme Base Station. I have tons of stuff on the drive, "unified" from various older external and internal drives.
    Now, while Airport Utility "sees" the physical disk in the list of Airdisks, it does not actually mount the single HFS+ (Journaled) formatted partition/volume on it.
    1) It mounts nicely on my MacBook Pro, and I can also access it using MacDrive on my PC.
    2) I checked it using Disk Utility, everything is fine.
    3) I even checked it in Disk Warrior, and rebuilt the directory structure for good measure.
    4) The partition's name is only 14 characters, no spaces, no High ASCII characters.
    5) It mounts without problems on my Win XP PC with MacDrive 7 via USB.
    I tried rebooting the AEBS, but no success. Another, older 250 GB external drive (also HFS formatted) connected fine, the volume immediately appeared in Airport Utility, no restarting necessary (sadly it's an IDE enclosure, not SATA).
    *The Fantec enclosure uses a JMicron JM20336 SATA to USB chipset, if anyone cares to know.
    EDIT: latest Mac OS, latest AEBS firmware 7.3.2, latest Airport Utility on Mac and PC, etc.
    I'm stumped, why can't the AEBS see the volume?
    I hope anyone has an idea what's wrong. Maybe the enclosure is not compatible with the AEBS?

    Ok, I had the chance to test another SATA drive in the same HD enclosure, and Airport Extreme recognized the drive. It was formatted as FAT. Other partitions on the same drive were formatted NTFS, and the Airport warned me about a faulty disc.
    In any case, it is now verified that it is not the enclosure, but seemingly the drive itself that isn't recognized by the AEBS.
    Next, I did various tests to see what is wrong. Remember, this is a brand new 1TB Western Digital Green (3 platters, the most recent model). Other (smaller) drives in the same or other enclosures work fine.
    *Test 1:* format the drive using HFS (Journaled)
    Expected result: partition should mount as volume with name "xD".
    Actual result: partition does not mount (as can be seen on the screenshot)
    !http://666kb.com/i/b631xlvxyii0kboty.png!
    *Test 2:* format the drive as NTFS using MacFUSE
    Expected result: error alert by AEBS (faulty drive)
    Actual result: no luck (see screenshot above)
    NOTE: At this point, I didn't have the option in Disk Utility to format as FAT - I don't know why.
    *Test 3:* format the drive as NTFS using a Windows XP PC using the Management Console
    Expected result: error alert by AEBS (faulty drive)
    Actual result: error alert by AEBS (faulty drive)
    NOTE: After this test, the option in Disk Utility to format as FAT has reappeared. Maybe formatting in XP fixed some partition table error? Or the disk is now formatted in MBR mode rather than GUID?
    *Test 4:* format as FAT (using Disk Utility)
    Expected result: mount the partition
    Actual result: partition mounts! As you can see in the screenshot, the volume name is "XD" instead of "xD" because FAT only supports upper case volume names.
    !http://666kb.com/i/b632kbz0xp0lihk6u.png!
    *Test 5:* format the drive as HFS (Journaled) again
    Expected result: mount the partition
    Actual result: Disk Utility fails to delete the FAT partition (see screenshot)
    !http://666kb.com/i/b632se0dzj9fknwxi.png!
    At this point, I am trying a few things to delete the FAT partition. First, I reformat using FAT, which succeeds. Formating as NTFS also works. I click on the drive icon rather than the volume icon, and see that the disk IS using the Master Boot Record scheme. I guess this is why I can't format the partition as HFS...
    *Test 6:* re-partition the drive with 1 HFS (Journaled) partition, this time specifically setting MBR as scheme.
    Expected result: formatting will fail, because I guess HFS doesn't work on MBR partitioned drives
    Actual result: yup, Disk Utility fails to do this
    *Test 7*: re-partition the drive, using GUID with 1 HFS (Journaled) partition
    Expected result: partition mounts
    Actual result: partition mounts - SUCCESS!
    !http://666kb.com/i/b633840bd5mkinjw6.png!
    CONCLUSION:
    If a drive fails to mount in AEBS, there is most likely something wrong with the partition table. Try repartitioning the drive (either using GUID or MBR) and see if this fixes the problem.
    Hope that helps,
    Stefan

  • ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

    iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly.  I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library.  If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access.  I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4.  Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running.  I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions.  I update as warnings to do so come up.  The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share.  I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
    I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all.  I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine.  I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
    I can't be only one.  Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
    How many of you are having trouble?
    Any resolutions?
    How to report to Apple?
    How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

    I ran into the specific problem in another thread.  There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes.  You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem.  iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
    Now for what you really want!  Set all of your ATVs to wifi only.  Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also.  I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100. 
    I also turned off ip v6.  That could help you also.  I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem.  The wifi trick worked on both platforms.  Several of us have bug reports into apple.  I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem.  The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much.  What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.
