Airport Extreme and Verizon Hub

I recently purchased the Verizon Hub and I am currently using the airport extreme to communicate with it wirelessly. It is working great just one little set back, sometimes when trying to make a phone call i can not hear the phone ringing but in fact it is and eventually the person picks up but sometimes i hang up since i do not hear it ringing. I called verizon and they told me that i had to disable the SIP and ALG. Verizon does not support the airport extreme so im stuck not knowing how to disable this. Could someone please help me.

There is a thread over on the verizon forum. http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=Verizon_Hub&message.id=220 &query.id=34881#M220
Some people have reported getting it to work. Maybe someone there can help.

AirPort Extreme and Verizon's Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCHLC11

Has anyone had any success using Verizon's Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCHLC11 with their Airaport Extreme?
My home network consists of two AirPort Extremes, an iMac, two AppleTV2s, an iPad, an iphone4 and a Canon Printer.
The problem is that I just moved to a rural area where there is no cable or DSL Internet provider. Satellite is available but is too slow and too expensive. My best option is Verizon's 4G LTE.
So the question is this: Is it possible to wirelessly connect my AirPort Extremes to the wireless Internet signal from the Samsung Mobile Hotspot (WiFi out only) so that my home network has access to the Internet?

I know its a little late but to answer your question "has anyone had any success using this Verizon Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot as their primary home WiFi router?"
Yes with a Cradlepoint router. I use the MBR1100 which allows me to use mutiple air cards, or the MBR900 for use of just one card. Once that is set up you can use your Airport Express to extend the network as you need.
Hope this helps

Airport Extreme and USB hub

Okay I connected a hub to my USB on the airport extreme. Now I can see both hard drives however I get an IP address conflict and the network basically shuts down. Is there something I am missing here?

Try reading the entire conversation, Duane, and you'll realize that I'm fully aware of the fact that he's talking about a USB hub. And let me point out the fact that your misunderstanding makes no sense because even if I had thought he was talking about an ethernet hub, an ethernet hub has no IP address of its own.
His problem is that he gets an error message indicating that an IP that has already been allocated is being used by another device. A USB hub gets no IP nor does a simple USB external drive. Still, when he plugs in the hub that error message pops up. Why? The only explanation I could come up with is that one of the drives he is attaching to the USB hub isn't a standard external USB drive.
Have I connected all the dots for you okay?

Airport Extreme and USB Hub + Printer and Hard Drives

I have been using my Airport Extreme with a USB hub with 2 external hard drives and one printer for a while now and everything has been going fine. However, recently, the hard drives have stopped registering when I have the USB hub plugged in. I have plugged the hub directly into my computer with everything attached and it works fine but the moment I plug the hub into the Airport, nothing shows up except that the printer still works.
Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks!

Hi, I've had this same problem now for more than 1 year, and nothing had solved it, until recently. I think I know what the problem is.
It turns out that not all USB 2.0 hard drive enclosures are the same. I had been using "Metalgear Substance II" enclosures for my 500-GB drives, and I had assumed all along that these were fine... I had assumed that one USB 2.0 enclosure was as good as the next USB 2.0 enclosure. WRONG!!!
By accident, I noticed that the drive-to-drive copy times from MetalGear USB 2.0 boxes was about 22 hours for a full 450-GByte transfer of information, while placing the SAME drive into a MacAlley enclosure reduced the copy time down from 22 hours to 6 hours... About 3.5 times faster!!! This means that the piece of crud Metalgear boxes I had been using for my network drives were ssssllllooowwww.
A big bright light blinked on in my head regarding my issues and problems with the Apple Airport Extreme Base-station and all of the problems I'd had with multiple drives, the AEBS locking up etc.. All of my issues had been associated with using the el-cheapo Metalgear enclosures.
As soon as I replaced the Metalgear USB boxes with MacAlley boxes, everything started to work great. No more issues with my Airport locking up. None. Problem fixed. Problem solved.
I can only assume that NOT ALL USB 2.0 BOXES ARE THE SAME. USB 2.0 does not mean that the transfer rates will actually be at 480-mbps. Quality matters. DO NOT USE METALGEAR BOXES WITH APPLE EXTREME. There may be other brands with suck just as much. I can vouch for the MacAlley boxes. They work great... and there may be other boxes that work too. There must be some issue with Apple Airport Base Station timing out on slower USB 2.0 crapola equipment... something that causes it to hang.
Anyway, I hope this helps. My problems are solved since going to the MacAlley enclosures.

How do you connect Airport Extreme and share HP Photosmart 3210 Printer?

Hello,
I have a Mac and PC Network composed of:
iMac 24'' Leopard 10.5.2 (main computer)
2 PC Fujitsu Pentium 4 on Windows XP
2 PC HP Pentium 4 on Windows XP
my network/connections are done via Airport Extreme and 2 hubs (other devices connected to the network like Wii, XBox etc.)
I am trying to share my HP Photosmart 3210 using the USB connector on Airport Extreme but I am experiencing strange problems while printing from the iMac. I can print an e-mail or a "light" document however if I want to print a Mac powerpoint (Mac office) largest document, the problem starts after the second or 3rd page, the printer goes on pause at the middle of the page and the interface indicates "problem communicating with the printer" or something like that.....unique possibility is to turn the printer off and start again but the problem persists. However, it seems that the printer works ok from the PC's.
I have tried to install the latest versin of the HP driver on my iMac but while configuring, the printer doesn't appear....I have checked on the printer settings and the IP address is 0.0.0.0.
I am now thinking about connecting the Printer via one of the Ethernet port on Airport Extreme.
Questions:
1. Any help on the above ? Any advice ?
2. Is it normal to have no IP address on the printer when connected via USB on Airport Extreme ?
3. Why HP config doesn't recognize the printer on the network ?
4. Why does it work from the PCs and not from the iMac and why does it print light documents and not big ones ? Is this a memory7buffer problem on the printer ? What can I do if this is the case ?
5. On the Airport Extreme Utility, do I need to share the printer via "Bonjour"?
6. I am willing to plug an extrenal HD on the Airport Express USB port. Is it possible to put first a multi USB port on the Airport Extreme USB or is it going to cause problems ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
P.

NCBob, Welcome to the discussion area!
If I understand correctly you are replacing the Linksys. It should be a simple replacement. Connect the cable modem to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). Connect your Ethernet devices (including the switch) to the AEBS LAN ports.

Airport Extreme and adding a USB Hub

I added a Belkin USB Hub to my airport extreme and with my MAC computer it cannot find anything plugged into it. Is there a recommended Hub to use, mine is Belkin?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A USB port of the AirPort Extreme supports a hub, always that you plug printers and displays > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2421
If devices connected to the hub are not recognized, return it and get another hub. There is no hub recommended as all of them should work, but I recommend you to get a USB 2.0 hub

Airport Extreme and USB/Firewire Combo Hub

This has probably been covered before and I didn't find it. So I apologize...
I bought the new Airport Extreme and a firewire/usb combo hub so that I could connect my external HDs (3 are firewire and 1 is USB) - the USB is the only one that is working....
Any Ideas? (Besides putting the Firewire back on the desk top and sucking it up!)
Thanks,
Tim

I have a related question. I want to buy a triple interface drive (ethernet, USB, Firewire). The plan is to connect the drive an ethernet port on an Airport Extreme. The question is - can I later 'daisychain' on an additional firewire drive?
So the first drive would be connected via ethernet and the second connected to the first via firewire.
Based on Niel's post, I am guessing this won't work. Comments?
Also, are there certain brands that are known to play particularly nicely with Leopard when hooked up as ethernet network drives?

Verizon Fios - Airport Extreme AND Airport Express drop IP Address

Hi everyone,
I am absolutely BEGGING for help here! I am so frustrated with Verizon Fios that I can hardly take it. The scenario - the crummy Actiontec router that Verizon provided us when we got service 10 months ago shot craps recently. So, I got out my Airport Extreme to see if that would work. After 30 minutes of tech support I got it working, only to have all kinds of trouble with what they told me after FURTHER hours of tech support, was that my router was dropping the IP address.
So, knowing that I can't possibly be the only Verizon customer using an Apple router, I thought it was the Airport Extreme unit itself. I went out and got an Airport Express, and again, I am resetting my router or calling Verizon tech support at least once a day, if not more, to break the lease and get a new IP address. It's killing me. I can't live life like this.
Can ANYONE help me figure out how to get this scenario to work without having to purchase another crappy, ugly Actiontec router? I don't have FIOS TV, just internet. I can't tell you how much I would appreciate the help. It's driving me insane!!
Thanks so much in advance.

It appears that I am in same boat. I got FIOS last October and it worked seamlessly with my Airport Extreme/Express network for months. All of a sudden, we couldn't get to the internet after returning from vacation in late August. Reset, reconfigured, and tinkered with the Airport extreme and our computers, but could not get out to internet even though we could still print and see each other over the airport network. Contacted Verizon and they told me that they do not support the airport and that we have to use their Actiontec router for Internet access. Told them that we had been using our Airport, connected to their Actiontec, to access the Internet for months seamlessly and they said that that was not something they would recommend/support and that we had to go directly through their wireless router to get Internet support. I asked if they changed something in the last week that would prevent access and they would not confirm.
We also found that my son's older desktop with 802.11b wireless USB connection and MS OS can't even get out using the Actiontec router directly. Verizon site talks to 802.11b not necessarily being supported, but we had no issues when we were routing everything through the Airport. I just don't want to invest in all kinds of new network devices when we were fine until something happened over a weekend.
I am playing around with buying the latest Airport extreme (ours is a 802.11g model) to see if that works, but Verizon refuses to acknowledge that it's a viable solution and apologized to us that we have to switch between their network router and our Airport router to do routine printing, play music, etc., but they were not open to helping us prevent running multiple networks, either.
Obviously, this is unacceptable customer service, but Verizon techs that I spoke to do not feel that they have any obligation to support us with re-establishment of connectivity that we got with our original service. It sounds from this thread that other folks were getting disconnected or can't establish connectivity over the summer. Am wondering what Verizon is doing that is causing this and who else is getting impacted. Also wondering if upgrading to the latest Airport will help.

New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues

I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....
Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?

I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.

Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.
I am running OS 10.7.5
Both the TC and AE are updated to 7.6.1
The Seagate drive in formatted: Journaled HFS+
I tried everything on Apple's Article: HT1331 and the basic reboots and restarts.
"Next"

It sounds like you may be confusing "mount" with "recognize".
Connect the drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab
Does the AirPort Extreme "recognize" your hard drive? If yes, it will be displayed in the window.
See example below of a WD 500 GB drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
If your drive is formatted HFS+ and it does not appear here, then you will almost certainly need to use a powered USB hub with the hard drive.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply. The USB port on the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule is under powered.
Post back when the drive is "recognized" and we will next "mount" the drive.....although you likely already know how to do this.

Airport extreme and external hd

I have a western digital hd connected to my airport extreme via usb hub. I can access it fine from my powerbook. However if I try to connect to it remotely no drives appear. I've looked at several posts in the forums and even a pdf guide, but nothing has seemed to work. I can't even gain guest access. Any insight?
Under Disks - I have the disk set up for file sharing with accounts, and guest access is set to read only. Share disks over ethernet WAN port is checked. Advertise disks globally using bonjour is checked.
Under Advanced - I have use wide-area host name checked under the bonjour settings. Hostname - not sure what to put here, or if it matters. I know something has to be here. Right now it's the same name as my external hd that I have given under the airport disk utility. Domain is the same as under internet. I didn't put anything under name and password because it didn't seem to matter. Is this supposed to reflect an existing name and password, if so which one?
I'll post any other settings that are requested. Thanks in advance!

I have a similar problem. I have a relatively small external HD I am using to experiment with TimeMachine. Connected to the iMac is works OK so far. Connecting it to the USB port on the Extreme shows the device in Airport Utility but no where else. Not even in the Airport Disk Utility. I went to a store and spoke to a "genius" who told me the to downgrade my firmware in the Airport Extreme to 7.1.1 as there is a known issue with 7.2.1 which is what my Airport is running. You can do this by going into Airport utility selecting the preference and when clicking the update firmware option also hold down the OPTION key. This will present you with a menu of firmwares to install. I have tried this but at the moment it is only allowing me to select 7.2 or 7.2.1 the 7.1.1 remains illusive. I've been on the Apple web site to see if I could manually download the 7.1.1 but I can't seem to see it yet. Doing a search for airport gives you a lot of product and advertising information, and little actual support.

Airport Extreme + unpowered USB hub + Lacie Porsche drive = FAIL

This is more a warning than a support question: we've recently lost two (TWO!) Lacie Porsche USB2 drives by connecting them to our Airport Extreme (802.11n) via an unpowered USB hub.
The drives themselves are now unusable (their little lights light up but there's no other signs of life).
I suspect it's the fault of the drive rather than the Airport Extreme, and most people connecting HDs via unpowered hubs simply report that they don't work rather than actively up and die, but it's worth knowing that this is a risk. Hope it saves somebody else the heartache.

its commonsense and risky. tx anyway for your experience.

Airport Extreme and USB HD not detected in Vista but work in OSX

I have a hard drive and a printer connected to a USB hub that's hooked up to my Airport Extreme. USB hub is a good one, powered. Everything works like it should on the two Macs I have. Airport Utility detects everything fine, all works well. Great.
On my Vista PC, which is my main computer, being by far the most powerful, I have Airport Utility installed so that I can have access to my network hard drive. Weird thing is that it gets detected sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. When I re-install Airport Utility, everything works for that session. After a reboot it may or may not work. Usually it stops working all together after 2 or 3 reboots.
Internet access works all the time, mind you, as well as printing to my printer that's connected to the extreme. Just no base station detected in Airport Utility and no hard drive access, because the base station isn't available.
Thing to note, my computer goes through a gigabit switch, D-Link DGS-2205 to get to the airport extreme. I have an iMac that also goes through that switch, but doesn't have these problems.
Any ideas what to do? I'm sick of re-installing Airport Utility every couple days.

Nobody had a similar problem? Re-running Airport Utility installer again and Repairing the current installation fixes it for a short period of time, but the same problem comes back after about 3 reboots. Any ideas?

Airport extreme and express not acting as i would expect

i have a virgin media super hub which won't transmit my wireless all around my house so i have set this to modem only mode and have connected it to a 4th gen extreme via a cable and connected 1 desktop pc to the extreme also via a cable. All works perfectly and i get the full 60mb broadband that i pay for and all wireless devices also connected to the extreme achieve this speed. Unfo although better it still isn't enough to transmit through the whole house.
To rectify this i have bought a new express and connected it all up which as expected was a doddle, the problem is that when i connect to the express i get a speed of between 2 and 12mb but never any more. When i spoke to the guy in store i was told that i would get the same speed from the express as i got at the extreme so is this not the case or have i got a setting wrong?

1. EOP (Ethernet over Power) Sometimes called Homeplug. When you don't know stuff.. google it.

Get trained by little kids on youtube..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i72DM0dbGpc
They are readily available from any of the big computer stores.. in every brand under the sun. Including ones you have heard of and some probably not.. internally they are all about the same.
2. The old roaming instructions are the last apple produced.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260
Here is my take on it.. with lots of screenshots.
Problems with Airport Extreme Ethernet roaming setup
Here is a joint effort from users here.
Setting Up Roaming - New AirPort Extremes and Utility
Main things to notice.. This is simple. Follow the instruction in my thread above.. and it works.. but I find the airport utility might need a bit of a kick now and then to get the right setup.
3. Make it easy on yourself. You are trying to do too many things at once.
Reset the express.
Plug it into the Extreme by a patch ethernet cable.
Do the setup.. as per..
Problems with Airport Extreme Ethernet roaming setup
Once you complete the setup.. take the express upstairs and plug it into the EOP adapter.
If it fails.. plug a computer by ethernet into the EOP adapter and see if you are connected.. you might be blaming the wrong thing.
