Airport extreme connects to router fine, but express doesn't

Hi,
So here is my setup:
Router -> Ethernet cable -> Airport Extreme = Wifi
This works absolutely fine. My problem is that I use an airport express to boost the extreme signal, and it's not working.
I get two errors, "Internet connection" and "No DNS Servers".
But after reading up on this, people are saying it's a problem with the communication between the express and the router.
But the airport extreme is communicating perfeclty fine with the router.
Any ideas would be very helpful,
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I probably can't help much, but I have occasionally had the same problem. You might try going to System Preferences>Network and look at your Airport connection. See if the diagnostics can help.
Good luck!

  • IMac connects via ethernet fine but iBook doesn't get the wifi connection

    I'm not computer literate. I'm told this has to do with the airport sharing but it looks to me like the airport sharing has to do with reading OTHER wifi connections on my iMac. I don't need that. The iMac is connected to the internet just fine. My iBook and my iPhone don't get the wifi connection that it used to get and I can't figure out why not. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    More information would be helpful. Your iMac is connected to your ISP's service with Ethernet? And you are sharing that internet connection for the iMac with other Apple devices from the iMac's AirPort card? Do I have that correct?
    If so have you shared that internet connection according to Apple's protocol for doing so?
    My Mac mini is connected to the internet by Ethernet cable to my ISP's gateway. I am sharing the Ethernet connection to two iPod Touches via AirPort from my Mac mini. This is how Apple says to configure a Mac to share the connection;
    1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing highlight Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
    2. Share the connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
    3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
    4. Press the button AirPort Options...
    5. Name the Network
    6. Use Automatic for the channel or assign a specific channel
    7. Encrypt the network with one of the choices
    8. For sharing with a non-Apple device; PC laptop, MP3 player, etc, you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password or only a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password. That does not apply if you are setting up sharing for Apple devices only.
    9. Press OK
    10. Check the box for Internet Sharing
    11. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up
    Any other forms of configuring sharing the ethernet over AirPort ususally results in various issues.

  • Airport extreme connect to my wifi router (wep 128bits) but no extend

    hello,
    as i said, my airport extreme connect to my router, get an ip by DHCP, say it's connected to my network but it's say it can't extend the network.
    when i launch the airport utility on a computer connected to my router it discover the airport extreme but can't configure it (get error 10057), but it see the airport extreme, this mean it's connected to my lan...so why it can't extend the wifi network ? an idea ??
    best regards
    Chris

    Yes, even an Airport Express....
    Extreme
    Express
    Time Capsule
    See this Apple document:

    Must be Apple Airport devices in order to extend a wireless signal.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets.  Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

    I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router.  I currently have a Verizon FiOS router.  I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV.  However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box.  No HD, no DVR.  Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand.  Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

    I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
    Not sure what you are asking here.  The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
    If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area.  But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

  • Which is Best... Connect Devices to Airport Extreme OR Modem/Router? And Which is Best for DHCP/NAT?

    I have a modem/router from the ISP and have just purchased an Airport Extreme to use for the WIFI instead of the modem/router.
    I have 3 other devices on the network connected to the modem/router via ethernet: AppleTV, Smart Blueray Player and a NAS drive.
    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    But I wondered if the Airport Extreme should be in DHCP/NAT, the other 3 devices connected to that via Ethernet, and the modem/router in bridged mode.
    Which is better, or are they the same?
    Thanks

    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    This would be the simplest, correct way to configure your network.
    Unless you need some special feature from the AirPort Extreme....that would require that the AirPort Extreme handle DHCP and NAT service.....like the Guest Network feature......then it would probably be best to keep things simple and leave them "as is" on your network.
    Either the modem needs to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort Extreme handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    it does not really matter which device handles DHCP and NAT as long as your feature requirements are being met on the network.
    Personally, I strongly prefer to use a simple modem....not a modem/router....and another separate router to control the network. But, your ISP may not offer that option.

  • Connect Airport Extreme to existing router without ethernet cable

    I am looking to connect my Airport Extreme to an existing router without the use of the ethernet cable.  The existing router is on the ground floor whilst I would like to install the Airport Extreme in the first floor to improve WiFi range on the 1st floor.  I am able to connect Airport Extreme to the router with the ethernet cable (in which case both the devices have to be close to one another on the ground floor) but unable to get Airport Extreme set up without the ethernet cable.  Is it possible to connect Airport Extreme to the existing router on a non-wired basis (i.e. without the ethernet cable) and if yes, how would be I able to do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The AirPort Extreme can connect wirelessly.....IF.....your existing router is also another Apple router.
    Is that the case here?  If yes, what model number is your existing Apple router?
    If no, you will need to continue to connect the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.

  • I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen. The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router. Any ideas why?

    I am experiencing network failures with my Airport Extremes: the main router is a 2nd Gen, the extension a 5th Gen.
    The 5th Gen keeps on losing connection with the main router and thus with the internet.
    Any ideas why?

    Is the second Extreme configured to "extend" the network created by the first? If so its position must be such that it has a strong wireless connection to the first Extreme. If it is at the limits of the first one's wireless range its connection will be tenuous. Place them closer together and determine if that makes a difference.

  • Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router

    Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router
    1. I’m writing from a rural town in Southern Nepal, very close to India. I’m planning to create a new WI-FI network at a small monastery here.  Ideally, we will have two parallel wireless networks: the first network produced by an ADSL router/modem and a second network produced by another router in “repeater” mode.
    2. Earlier, someone suggested that, when I post a question, I should provide as many details as possible about the situation here.  Forgive me if there is “too much information”.  I have to make a trip to the US to buy new networking equipment, so I very much want to get this right.  Once I return here, I’ll be pretty much stuck with whatever I get in the US.
    3. The future routers will live next to each other in an office and could be linked by a cable (if this is the best route to go).  We do not wish to “expand” the network (in the sense of making a larger WI-FI network), but rather wish to simply have two networks, hence one ADSL router/modem and one router with the “repeater” function (out-of-the-box without any jerry rigging).  Both WI-FI signals need to travel approximately 100 (largely unobstructed) feet.
    4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX).  An Apple router would be ideal because my experience with Apple routers is happy: they are easy to set up, reliable, and secure. Moreover, we use Apple computers and iOS devices here (and the new AX has the “ac” thing which will be preferable as we replace old machines with new ones).
    5. Yet, from reading posts and having my prior questions answered on this website, it may be that with an ADSL modem/router, all the ease and happiness of the Apple ecosystem is lost: while Apple routers seem to connect with each other easily, problems appear to arise when users try to inter-marry our non-Apple products with Apples.
    6. Our current, super-crappy 2wire 2701hg-t (ADSL modem/router) covers the 100-foot distance without a problem when it is working and there is Ethernet flowing to us.  Frequently, our connection is very bad, and I may be unfairly judging the 2wire 2701hg-t.  But, based on user reviews on the America Amazon.com, the 2wire 2701hg-t is pretty terrible: first it is simply old and second, among other problems, it seems to have a poor quality power supply unit.  I do observe that it frequently seems to be recycling from scratch as if it had turned off and restarted.  In any case, we are replacing it since it may be about 4 or 5 years old.
    7. In previous posts on this forum, “LaPastenague” responded to some of my earlier questions about AX and ADSL.  Among other things, he pointed out that (1) line-attenuation may be contributing to our poor connection and (2) we must choose a modem/router that is suitable for “long lines.”  I’ve looked at our current modem/router statistics page; however, there are no statistics for line-attenuation or noise.  (As you will see below, my strategy is to get the “better” modem/router that is suitable for long lines.)
    8. Concerning our ADSL service, these are the facts I’ve gleaned from looking at the current router’s configuration pages:
    Connection Type: PPPoE
    Currently, the router is configured to use WPA-PSK security.
    Connection Speed: Incoming: 1024 kbps & Outgoing: 509 kbps
    (The following information may be unimportant at this time.)
    Broadband Link Diagnostics:
    DSL Synchronization: UP
    G.DMT Signal: UP
    PVC Connection: UP
    PPPoE Service: UP
    PPP Authentication: UP
    IP Connection: UP
    DNS Communication: UP
    9. The ISP (Nepal Telecom) doesn’t supply a modem/router; however, they do have a list of (at times ancient) hardware and hardware vendors:
    http://www.ntc.net.np/internet/adsl/adsl_vendersConf.php
    10. Concerning what equipment is available here, what I have observed is that generally the ADSL modem/routers for sale locally, and in the far-away capital Kathmandu, and in nearby India are often also available in the United States, but they are the cheaper, older models.  I will have to buy the new equipment in the US this year.  At a different institution nearby, they are using the TP-Link modem/router td-w89016 which they purchased locally, I believe.
    11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.
    Will this modem/router work EASILY with the Airport Extreme in the manner I’ve described?  That is, connecting the two with a cable and creating two WI-FI networks.
    12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755 
    13. In fact, does connecting them with a cable help alleviate some of the problems that can occur between the Apple device and the ADSL modem/router?
    14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)?  I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
    15.  Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered?  Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different.  But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
    16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
    I think there are a lot of good reasons to use an AX router. Of course, if it is just going to be very cumbersome then, we would be loosing one of the best parts of using Apple products.  So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple.   Apple can rest assured that I will buy other things from them!
    In that case, I’d likely buy a second TP-Link device to create a second network:
    TL-Wa801NP [AP Mode Multi-SSID Mode AP Client Mode Repeater Mode (WDS / Universal) AP+ Bridge mode (point-to-point / point to Multi-point)].
    Thank you in advance. Long live Apple!

    I am not sure if there are different interfaces but my 2wire does an excellent job with line info.
    I get into this from browser.. using main IP.. in my case 10.0.0.138/MDC
    In your case it should be whatever the IP of the 2wire is, followed by /mdc
    Give it a try.
    As you can see it shows vendor and loads of info about the line.
    I rate it the best domestic modem for line info.
    A good modem actually albeit a lousy router.
    MDC is the diagnostics and Management Console.
    3. The future routers will live next to each other in an office and could be linked by a cable (if this is the best route to go).  We do not wish to “expand” the network (in the sense of making a larger WI-FI network), but rather wish to simply have two networks, hence one ADSL router/modem and one router with the “repeater” function (out-of-the-box without any jerry rigging).  Both WI-FI signals need to travel approximately 100 (largely unobstructed) feet.
    You are not repeating.. you are simply setting up two routers which are interconnected, so one is dependent on the other.. ie one is your adsl modem router and that will take the main router function. Your second router is really not working as a router, but as wireless access point (and switch if you plug things in).
    That is perfectly fine. You are not roaming in this case since both routers are running different wireless names and networks.. but they are actually using same IP range.. all devices are on the one IP network with two different wireless access points.
    4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX). 
    Apple router is fine for this. Easy to configure out of the box.
    5. Yet, from reading posts and having my prior questions answered on this website, it may be that with an ADSL modem/router, all the ease and happiness of the Apple ecosystem is lost: while Apple routers seem to connect with each other easily, problems appear to arise when users try to inter-marry our non-Apple products with Apples.
    The problem arises when you try and interconnect using  wireless extend or repeater.. you are not using wireless to extend, you are using ethernet. Wired has no issues.
    11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.
    Will this modem/router work EASILY with the Airport Extreme in the manner I’ve described?  That is, connecting the two with a cable and creating two WI-FI networks.
    It is a good choice.. It should be fine considering how poor your line is.. this modem is proving to have a couple of bugs.. it does not handle torrents well but I would suggest your system is not being used for that purpose. It has some port forwarding issues. Again you are probably not going to overload it. 
    12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755
    Absolutely best.. only decent method. 
    14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)?  I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
    Bridge. Although if it gives issues there is another method, although rather complex to setup.. not something to worry about now.
    15.  Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered?  Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different.  But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
    Only the adsl modem has the ISP authentication.. it is the box that does the link. The TC just piggy backs.
    The passwords on the TC are for its Admin, wireless and disk access.
    16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
    For ADSL you must have the PPPoE authentication username and password.
    So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple.
    hmmm.. I am biased because I see the issues not all the good stories..
    The latest airport and Time Capsule seem to have a few pretty severe bugs.. if they happen to hit you, they are extremely hard to fix if you are in the middle of Nepal. And Apple service centre is a long long way away.
    I cannot answer your question from the point of view of a person on the ground in remote area. If the economics of the purchase works for you, great. Go for it.
    In terms of wireless coverage.. the Asus AC models or Netgear R7000 kill the Apple. Sorry but it is just fact.
    See reviews here.
    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/113-5-ghz-dn-c
    That is average.. if you look at the apple router in the worst location by changing the filters, it comes out worse again.
    I cannot post the URL to our local forum here.. (apple doesn't allow it). But in testing with apple clients the asus still beat Apple router soundly.
    Pure wireless range is not the only consideration.. but in a mixed environment and since the wireless on the 8980N is not too bad.. then buy Apple router for apple client devices makes good sense.
    Maybe the older Gen5.. or two of them.. would do a better job.. with a bit more tested and known hardware.
    One thing you do need to check.
    Routers from every other brand allow you to select country. Any country from anywhere in the world. Apple routers do not.
    If you buy an airport in North America it is coded to North America and offers just a few countries.. USA, Canada I suppose.. what else is North America??
    You cannot change it to Nepal.
    To get the one for Nepal you must buy the model that covers, South Asia I guess.. I am not sure which it is.
    See what the license information is for wifi in Nepal as it might be very different to US and therefore illegal for you to run it in Nepal.
    If only the whole world would just bow to America.. we could all follow the FCC regs..
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
    This only applies to the Apple.. the TP-Link etc allows you to choose Nepal or correct country regulations for wifi.
    Buying modems has one tricky bit.. that the actual adsl ATM channel is different in different parts of the world. No modem is usually impossible to setup but some can be difficult if it is pre-configured for US.. this is easy to overcome generally as you can download a firmware for another locality, so you can have local settings.

  • How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
    The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
    Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
    Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
    Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
    The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.

  • Does Airport Extreme support Static Routes?

    I have client using an Airport Extreme as their Router. They currently connect to another device outside their network using AppleTalk.
    It is planned to put this device onto TCP/IP but on a different subnet (e.g. their subnet is 192.168.5.X and the device will be on say 192.168.25.X). Does Airport Extreme support (like other Routers) the ability to set up a static link to a device on a different subnet (can’t find any information in a doco or the utility) or do they need to replace this with a “real“ router?

    Sure, I could do something like route add -net 10.100.10 192.168.0.100 on every client machine on the subnet, but there is no such way to configure a web cam and similiar devices
    Any idea, Apple?

  • Can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  the base station is not recognized so i cannot configure it manually

    can airport extreme connect using a mac mini.  this airport extreme wont connect to internet via my cable modem.  I cant set it to bridge mode because it doesnt appear as a base station in airport utitlity...help

    First, is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) a 802.11n, 802.11g, or 802.11b model? Second, what is your primary goal for using this base station? Finally, is the AEBS the only router in your current network configuration?

  • 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.

  • I wanted to know whether i can diffuse music to the bluetooth only speakers from a airport extreme-connected hard drive through my mac?

    I'm interested in the new soundlink mini Bose wireless speakers that function only via bluetooth. I wanted to diffuse music to them from an airport extreme connected hard drive through my macbook air. I don't want to stoc music on my mac given the limited flash drive and don't want to go though wires again. Is that possible? Also I can't go with airport express since those speakers don't have the airplay function.
