Airport Extreme Channel Bonding

Does anyone know if the Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n) supports channel bonding. Channel bonding of course is setting both the base station and the airport card in the computer to use 2 of the 11 channels instead of just 1 in order to achieve a full 300Mbs data rate.
And I'm not talking about the setting for combined b/g/n operation, that's something different...
Thanks,
-Chris

The AirPorts only support "channel bonding" on the 5 GHz radio when the "Use wide channels" option is enabled. They do not support a similar feature for the 2.4 GHz radio.

Can I safely set bridged Airport Extreme channels to suit my purpose?

I came across a last-gen AE for $29 and couldn't resist, so I have it bridged to my base. But they are side-by-side and I want to use the bridge for the extra ethernet ports and usb ports. Range extension I don't need.
I don't want any channel conflicts/confusion, so I'm wondering if I can safely manually set the bridged AE to the same channels as the base unit.

so I'm wondering if I can safely manually set the bridged AE to the same channels as the base unit.
Since you do not need the AirPort as a wireless access point, the recommended setup would be to turn off the wireless function on the AirPort.
If you want to leave the wireless on at the AirPort access point, then you need to set the channels 5-6 settings away from the channels that the other AirPort is using. For example, if your "main" AirPort was using Channel 1, then you would set the Channel for the access point at Channel 6, or even 11.
Or, set the Channel to Automatic and the access point will choose an appropriate channel separate from the main AirPort.
The important point here is that you would NOT want to set the channels to same settings that main AirPort is using.

Using an Airport Express with an Airport Extreme in bridge mode

Im trying to use an Airport extreme and an Airport express to have good Wifi coverage in a house. The current Wifi is from a Verizon Westfall modem/router. I went into setup on the modem/router and disabled the wifi, then connected the Extreme to one of the 4 ports on the modem/router. I setup the Extreme in bridge mode ( because I believe I dont want 2 differnt routers handing out local IP's, right? . Anyway, it seems to work fine but I'm trying now to hook up an Express to widen my wifi area. I have cat5 ports all over the house that go back to the Exteme's location so its not a problem to connect the Extreme to the Express via ethernet cable. Im wondering if its possible to use the Express hardwired to the extreme while in Bridge mode because I cant seem to set it up properly. Can anyone out there answer that question and/or give me instructions on setting up this scenerio.
Thanks!

I will reset it like you said and then I should have the cable from the Extreme going to witch port on the express?
WAN "O" port
To set up the Express, open AirPort Utility, click on the Express and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab just below the icons to assign a device name for the Express, device password, adjust Time Zone, etc. Should look like this, in general:
Click the Wireless tab next to Base Station. Adjust as follows:
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same wireless network name as the AirPort Extreme
Enter check mark next to Allow to be extended
Radio Mode = Automatic or same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same wireless password as the AirPort Extreme
Verify Password
Setting should look like this, in general:
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab.
Connect Using = Ethernet.
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save settings
Things will look like this:
You will see a green light in 25-30 seconds.
Be sure to restart the entire network.

How do i set up time capsule to work with airport extreme base to extend wireless network?

i have a airport extreme base, how do i set up a time machine to extend the wireless network i have with airport extreme? i have also 3 airport express's connected to the same network to extend my wifi all over my house. thanks in advance.

Much better graphics, thanks.
You can leave the Time Capsule connected by Ethernet from the Linksys and configure for a "roaming" network as mentioned previously.
To do this, open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme
No check mark needed next to Allow this network to be extended
Radio Mode = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the AirPort Extreme
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon, then the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and allow the Time Capsue to restart
Then power down the entire network
Wait a minute or two
Start the modem first and let it run a full minute
Start the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up the switch
Power up the Time Capsule for a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart
Now, your computer will automatically pick up a wireless signal from either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, whichever device is closer and providing the stronger signal.

Setup a wired network between Time Capsule, Airport Extreme and Express

I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme N and an Airport Express N. They are currently connected wirelessly via the "extend network" mode. So I do have wireless connection throughout my home but I notice that it is slow especially compared to gigabit Ethernet. I now like to do the same but then connect the three devices over Ethernet as I have on each floor also Ethernet connections available that are connected via a wired switch.
How can I configure the three devices in such a way that they use the gigabit Ethernet wired connections as their "backbone" and then give wireless access to each floor as if it is one wireless network, and where I can connect other wired gigabit devices via the time capsule and airport extreme Ethernet ports?
I have one Internet connection that comes via Ethernet from my cable modem. This is now connected to my time capsule who creates the internal network and assigns internal IP addresses.
Can anybody advise how to configure each device? And to which ethernet port I should Airport Extreme?
Thanks
Alexander

You will be setting up what is known as a "roaming" network using the etherent backbone for your network. This will produce the best possible bandwidth on your network for both ethernet and wireless connections.
_On the Time Capsule_
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Remove the check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended" (This is only checked if you are extending your network using wireless only and you will be using ethernet to connect your devices, not wireless).
Update to save changes and the Time Capsule configuration is complete.
_On the AirPort Extreme_
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to your ethernet switch. Then connect another ethernet connection from the switch to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AirPort Extreme.
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not extend as you might think. Extend is only used if the Time Capsule and AirPort Express are connecting using wireless only)
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
Radio Mode = Same setting as your AirPort Extreme
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
Wireless Password = Same password as your AirPort Extreme wireless
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save changes and configuration is complete
_On the AirPort Express_
You can connect an ethernet cable from the switch..or..from one of the LAN <-> ports on either the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme, whichever is easier.
Set it up exactly the same as the AirPort Extreme above and update to save changes.
Power off the Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express for a few moments. Then power up the Time Capsule first and let it run a moment, then power up the AirPort Extreme and then the AirPort Express.
If you have a laptop running Leopard or Snow Leopard, you can move your computer around and check to see which device it is connecting to for wireless. Hold down the option key while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen and look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected at the time.
To get the AirPort ID of each of your Apple routers, open AirPort Utility and click on a device on the left. On the right, you'll see the AirPort ID for that device.
For ethernet connections, you can plug into an available port on the switch, the Time Capsule, or the AirPort Extreme.
You should be all set. Please post back on your progress.

Far-away D-link AP instead of 2 meters away Airport Extreme?

In my setup:
Airport extreme channel 1 in office
D-link AP channel 6 in garage (25 meters away from office)
My neighbours Netgear: channel 13
Both of my Acces Points have same SSID, same WPA, different channels (as above). Of course, my neighbours SSID and WEP is different.
Any mac computer chooses to connect to D-link, even in my office. Only iPads and iPhones connect without problems to airport express, and switch seamlessly from one to another. Computers have a lot of difficulties connecting to airport express. Without the D-link, 8 times to 10 there is no wifi connection, even in the office.
Airtunes however, always work. Even (and mostly) from my lan-connected imac. When i enable airport on that imac (in office), he connects to d-link. In rooms even further away from the d-link (say 35-40 meters), but within 10 meters from airport express, there is no connection.
If that is an indicator of how good wifi products are, apple has a lot of work to do on the main subject of an access point: being accessed!
This is a problem to me for 6-8 months now. I have tried really everything, going from WDS, additional time capsule (I already had before the express, but now with disabled wifi due to bad location), playing around with channels, ssid's, wpa's,...
Ofcourse, all of my software and firmware is up to date.
The airport express is 802.11n
The time capsule is first generation
The d-link is 'extreme-G'
The macbook having trouble connecting to AE is a pro intel dual core 3 years old, osx lion
A second macbook having trouble connecting to AE is the white unibody intel dual core 2-3 years old, osx snow leopard
The imac having trouble connecting to AE is a 17" G5, 5-6 years old, osx leopard.
I don't think there is a solution for the problem, I rather think airport express is just meant for airtunes and printer sharing. The access point capabilities are just bad.
But hey, Apple, as I have a lot of your products: Proof yourself!

First of all, you're mixing D-link and Apple devices on your network. It's not that this doesn't work, but it means you can't count oun how things are going to work. You also don't say if all of the devices are using the same wifi protocol? 802.11 a/b/g or n??
Depending on the design, setup, and capability of the wireless client, it's going to go thru a certain routine to try and select the 'BEST' wifi signal and transfer rate. Older devices that are not up the -n standard won't connect to to a wireless access point that doesn't support it, or isn't backwards compatible. Then, downselecting to the older protocol may result in it finding a stronger signal from the device of a different manufacturer that is actually further away.
I have personally mixed d-link hardware with apple hardware and had to spend a lot of times with channel and mode settings to get things working the way I wanted. When I was finally able to switch to an all Apple device network (4 extreme's and 3 expresses) things were a whole lot easier to setup and configure and only then, did things behave the way I exepected, with the clients picking up the strongest signal and then moving from room to room and switching to the strongest signal in the room at the time.
You're mixing wifi clients of different ages, with different 802.11 capabiliies with wifi devices from differen manufacturers, it's possible to do, but NOT EASY. Don't blame apple it's really not their fault.

Configure TC and Airport Extreme Base Stations with different channels

I had to do some serious workarounds to use the Airport Extreme Base Stations as an access point with the same wireless network name primarily due to channel overlap. I thought I would post my results here since I didnt' find a good article online.
Also, I found the Snow Leopard verison (5.4.2) of the Airport Setup Utility far superior to Lion's Airport Utility (6.x) in terms of advanced setup.
Setup is a 3 flloor house where the 3 wired network locations have wireless overlap. The problem was that the access points would not hand off the wireless signal because the channels for each airport/TC were automatically set to the same channel. In non-apple setups, this is how you force a wireless client to switch access points (since the wireless software on your client/mac/windows can detect which access point is stronger and moves to the alternate channel.
Using apple's "Extend this wireless network" option removes any ability to manually configure wireless channels. I am writing this from memory, so feel free to ask questions and I will track this topic:
Procedure
Setup time capsule as your base station. Do all the setup for your wireless and guest networks. Manually configure the network and change the wireless channel to a specific channel for a/b/g networks (e.g., 3) and n networks (e.g, 167).
Plug your first airport extreme/access point into your wired network. Do not plug it into the "internet" ethernet plug, use one of the 3 ethernet switch locations
Use the airport utility to first configure it to "extend" your wired network.
Then, go in and reconfigure it manually in the airport utility. Choose the option to setup a "new network" and name the network the same as the TC wireless network name, security, etc.
Change the channel from "auto" to a different channel than the TC (e.g., 6 and 137).
Now go to the top tab and click on the "internet" icon
Go to the DHCP tab and change it to "bridge mode." This will tell the AE to not give out IP addresses (the TC will do this for you). If you get an error that the IP ranges conflict, you have not done this
Note that if you have a guest network setup, you will need to set this up on the AE as well.
Now test your airport setup. Take your client (macbook, iOS device) and connect to your network. Move to a spot near the TC and pull up a web page. Keep an eye on the signal strength and beginv moving toward the AE. Refresh the page as you move around. You should at some point see the signal strength increase. Refresh your page again. You should be now connected to to the AE. I have found that Macbooks do a better job than iOS devices because you get an extra signal bar to measure strength, and they have larger antennas which allows you to better measure problems with handoff
Another test you can do is to start backing up on your TC and then test the move. The handoff will truly show you that the TC is handling the process but the AE is relaying to the TC for backup.
If you need to setup another AE, simply follow setups 3-10.
I hope this helps others. I've done this setup 100 times on Linksys devices and although they are cumbersome, they at least allow me to do this setup much more quickly and easily than the apple products.

Can you assign a channel on airport extreme to a particular device?

I have an ip phone hooked in to a network expander and when the channels switch the phone goes down

can you assign a channel on airport extreme to a particular device?
No, but you can assign a particular channel to all devices.

AirPort Extreme automatic channel select setting question

Hello, all -
Just got an AirPort Express that I'm using in bridge mode through a rented Actiontec PK5000 DSL modem/router combo through Qwest. (Broadcast antenna is truned off now on the Actiontec and I'm just using it as a modem.) I have a question about the automatic channel setting on the AirPort. I assumed when you leave it on automatic, the AirPort will scan the area to find the best channel to use (1-11 on 2.4 GHz) and then switch your connection to that on the fly, checking it throughout the day. But it's defaulted to channel 1 on automatic and hasn't changed since I got it. My PK5000 used to switch channels (6 or 11) if there was a better one available. Somehow I get the feeling the AirPort isn't doing that on the fly.
The cool thing about the Actiontec was that it defaulted to the strongest channel, and even mentioned what channel was 2nd strongest. The AirPort seems content to just stay on channel 1 all the time. Can someone tell me if this is normal on the AirPort Extreme. Thanks!

From my experience, I have yet to verify that the AirPort's "Automatic" option periodically scans the local area, and then, resets the channel when it finds too much interference. Instead, it attempts to find a clear channel when first configured and sticks with it ... as you have already ascertained.

This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

Airport Extreme 5GHz Channel not available

Hi All
My Airport Extreme 5th Gen is now up and running.
The issue I have is that unless I give the 5GHz channel it's own name, my MacBook Pro will not pick it up - instead opting for the 2.4GHz channel. I know that distance and obstacles are a factor but in a test situation the MacBook is only a metre away from the Airport. If I give the 5GHz channel it's own name then I can select the 5GHz network and confirm the connection rate - this also works with Windows 7 machine in the same position with the signal strength being 'excellent'. So why when I have the same name for both channels will my machines only pick up the 2.4GHz signal?
Using two names would be okay exept that when I do this the 2.4GHz network slows completely and is unusable.
Last week I had a pretty good setup with an old Airport Extreme and now with the new 5th Gen unit I can either connect two machines at 5GHz or four machines at 2.4GHz - not a mixture of both. So basically I'm no better off than with my eight year old Airport Extreme.
I'm beginning to think that there is a defect with the new Airport Extreme unit - is there any simple checks I can do on the unit to confirm that it is operating correctly?
I'd really appreciate any help with this.
Phil

Update: Solved. I reset the Airport Extreme a number of times in succession and finally it just worked - not sure what the problem was.

Airport Extreme 5GHz N Channel assignment

How can I set the channel on the 5GHz Airport Extreme N? The only setup option I have is "Automatic" which I don't want. I need to be able to set the channel myself. How do I do this?

Ok, good to hear that it worked, though I did not realize you are working on a windows PC (crtl button instead of the option button). I read this solution somewhere on a Dutch forum a few months ago. Indeed those kind of options are not mentioned in the documentation from Apple as far as I know.

Connect MacbookPro and AirPort Extreme via 5Ghz channel

Hi.
I have three Apple devices:
- Macbook Pro 13" 2012 year (802.11n wi-fi standart)
- iPad mini with Retina 2013 year (802.11n wi-fi standart)
- Airport Extreme 2013 year (with support 802.11ac wi-fi standart)
By default, a macbook device connected to the channel 2.4Ghz. Connection speed is set 217 Mbit/sec. If you divide the channels 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, then the connection speed to 450 Mbit/sec on channel 5Ghz.
How to configure AirPort Extreme when macbook and iPad was connected to the AirPort using 5Ghz channel by default?

As a result we have bad results in tests 2-4. Particularly upset that Airport Extreme loses Asus N66U on test results. If I change regional setting to RU (Russian), results does not change:

Bob, how can you comment on these results?

I just changed the channel on my Airport Extreme and now can't get the Airport Express to recognize the network. What do?

I changed the channel on Airport Extreme to get away from interference. Now I can't get my airport express to recognize the network. What do I do?

I would suggest that you perform a "hard" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and then, using the AirPort Utility, reconfigure it "join" or "extend" the AirPort Extreme as appropriate for your networking requirements.
