    The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is an Internet router that supports both wired and wireless network clients. You can connect both of your desktop, using either media, to the AEBS for network connectivity.

    How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    ...Called it a roaming network.  Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended.  Probably need to uncheck that?
    Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The other important settings for a roaming network are:
    Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
    Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
    Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
    Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

  • AirPort Extreme Drivers for Windows XP???

    This may be a very silly question, but I've got a new Mac Pro that will be arriving in two days and I couldn't help but wonder, "How will the AirPort Extreme WiFi card be able to connect to the Internet when I'm running Windows XP from a separate hard drive using Boot Camp?
    The Internet connection in my apartment is wireless only (coming from a router upstairs in my landlord's part of the house). Are there any AirPort Extreme drivers for Windows XP? If so, I have not been able to find anything online.
    Any suggestions on how to do this?
    Thanks,
    ~Greg

    Thanks for the info Stefan,
    However, I don't think that the Macintosh driver CD will do me any good in this case because I am not planning on running the 32 bit version of Windows XP. I will be installing XP64 tomorrow once my CD arrives in the mail.
    I've heard of quite a few people who are currently running XP64 on their Mac Pro's, but I'm also pretty sure that the driver CD created by Boot Camp will only work in Windows XP 32-bit.
    If ANYONE knows of a work around for installing macintosh drivers for my super drive and airport extreme, PLEASE let me know, because I will most certainly need to be able to use my wireless card and keyboard (especially for the CD tray)
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Download Airport Extreme Software for Windows?

    I am trying to find the windows software that comes on the CD for an Airport Extreme. (Attempting to help my Mom get her existing Airport Extreme w/ USB drive hooked up to her new windows laptop - the 802.11 connection is fine)
    Where the bloody **** is this software!? I've wasted hours on this support site looking for the basic install software. I've found the 5 year old airport admin software and lots of firmware updates. But I just want whatever comes on the CD so my mom will get the system tray icon that allows her to map the USB drive from the airport (the ability to manage the airport wouldn't hurt either).
    If you know where it is, please post a link. If apple only releases it on CD (which would be ridiculous) please put up a page that says so on your support site.

  • Airport Extreme Setup for Windows Remote Desktop

    I have an AEBS with a Windows XP desktop connected to it via ethernet (I also connect my MacBook wirelessly).
    I want to set it up so I can connect to my desktop remotely from work. I was able to do this using my old D-Link router but since I switched to the AEBS I can't connect. I am pretty sure I opened the correct ports in the router but I must have missed something.
    Does anyone know if there is a step-by-step guide that can help me?

    Here you go ...
    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"

  • Airport Extreme disconnects wireless Windows 7 laptop

    I have an Airport Extreme (both antennas enabled) and multiple Windows 7 laptops regularly lose connectivity to the base station. When the connectivity is lost, I can switch from one antenna band to the other (B/G to N or vice versa) to reconnect, and it'll work fine again for a period of time (sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes 3 hours). I do often notice connectivity disconnects when doing Lync VoIP, but not exclusively. Sometimes I'll be surfing the web, etc.
    The base station is running 7.6, and I've reproduced this with 7.5.x as well. Multiple Windows machines show this behavior (Lenovo and HP I've tested). I've updated wireless drivers on the Windows machines. I can't reproduce this over a wired connection.
    I have a Macbook Air that I so far haven't seen this issue on, and I don't recall seeing my connection reset on my iPad as I surf.
    I did notice a couple lines in the log file of the base station:
    Severity 5: (WAN) link state is down.
    then 7 seconds later
    Severity 5: (WAN) link state is up.
    I assume my internet provider is working fine because I can very quickly switch from one antenna band to the other and get my network service working again.
    I found this thread, but it isn't clear if there is a modem problem because I can't reproduce this when connected to the AE via ethernet.
    Any suggestions on how to better troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

    Sorry, but Apple has not updated AirPort Utility for Windows for about 3 years.
    You will need to use a Mac running Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion to administer the newer "ac" AirPorts.......or.....an iPad or iPhone with AirPort Utility for iOS installed on the device.

  • Access external hard drive connected to Airport Extreme USB via Windows & Mac

    I have an Airport Extreme and I would like to connect an external hard drive to it via USB so that I can backup pictures, music, documents etc. I need to be able to see the external hard drive from my windows PC. I eventually will be buying a Mac so I would like to be able to also get to my pictures and documents via the MAC as well.
    I currenlty have an iPhone, iPad and Apple TV so getting to the external drive from these devices would be a huge bonus also if that is possible.
    I recently bought an ioSafe Solo External Hard Drive and I had to return it because it was only formatted for the PC. When I plugged it into my Airport Extreme, I could see the drive via the Airport Disk Utility but I could not see it from my PC and I could not map a drive to it. When I contacted ioSafe support, they said that what I was trying to do was not possible since I did not have a MAC available to me to reformat the drive.
    I hope that I am not trying to accomplish the impossible because I will always need to live in a MAC/PC world.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

    You must know people with Macs.. it is 2min work to plug a USB drive into a Mac Laptop and format it Mac OS extended with a quick format.. And that is better IMHO than buying a utility or buying a pre-formatted drive which are often more expensive for no very good or obvious reason.
    Another option is a Linux boot disk.. Linux distributions have very similar command line tools to the Mac OS. (some are identical) and HFS+ has been available for ages in Linux.

  • Connecting Airport Extreme to wired Windows

    I'm interested in getting the new Airport Extreme, but I was curious how it is for connecting to Windows via ethernet. I'm specifically talking about Windows 98. Is the Airport Extreme like any typical router when it comes to the ethernet connections?

    Hi nemesis_256,
    The Airport works like most routers when sharing the Internet, in that it supplies an IP address to the wired and wireless clients dynamically. To configure the Airport you will need a Macintosh computer with OS 10.4.8 or later, or a windows machine with Windows XP service pack 2 or later.

  • Airport Extreme in a Windows wireless network

    Hello
    I am connected to the internet via a Windows based NetGear wireless network. There are also other computers on this network, though they are running Windows (which is why I say it is a Win based network). I want to connect a wireless enabled printer to my network. My question is can I connect a USB printer to an 802.11g Airport Extreme base station so I can print wirelessly from anywhere on the network. Is so how can this be done?
    I created a separate Airport network (it even had the same network name as the NetGear network) with my Mac and the Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't be on both networks simultaneously and I have to forgo internet access or printing capabilities.
    Has anyone had a similar experience. Any help would be appreciated. thank you

    The only way you can integrate your Airport Extreme base station into your existing network is to run an ethernet cable between it and your existing Netgear wireless router. Then turn off the router and radio built into the Airport base station (since both of those functions are provided by your Netgear wireless router).
    It is not possible to have the Airport Extreme base station communicate wirelessly with your Netgear wireless router. The Airport Extreme WDS feature can only be used in association with another Airport Extreme base station - Apple's implementation of WDS is not supported by your Netgear router.
    Note that you could use an Apple Airport Express. That device can connect to a USB printer and it can be configured to wirelessly "join" the existing wireless network created by your Netgear router. Again, this is a feature not possible with Apple's Airport Extreme base stations.

  • I have airport extreme and have windows 2003 what program do i down load for airport utility

    can any one help i tried one but was for windows 2007 no good need it for windows 2003 i have airport extreme just bought it today

    Ok thanks for the info - I am only familiar with Windows so I am going to suggest a typical setup using your Toshiba laptop - you can then use the network with any device - tell me if this works for you.
    Determine which version of Windows that your Toshiba uses.
    Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/#peripherals
    You will be downloading Airport Utility
    Download version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 or
    Download version 5.5.3 for Windows XP or Vista
    Once you have done this let me know if you will be using this Extreme as your primary router after your modem or is your modem also acting as a router or do you have another router anywhere in your network

  • Is airport extreme compatible with windows 8?

Does anybody know if the new airport extreme is compatible with windows 8RT?

    Hi - the answer is yes - it is compatible - most of the computers in our office use Windows 7 Professional and we have 10 Extremes in the network.

    Airport Extreme does not support NTFS formatted disks. Acting as a NAS only HFS+ and FAT32 are supported
    For that you have to use FAT32 with all limitations of that format or to learn Win7 to speak HFS+
    For instance with Paragon's HFS for Windows ( http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/ )

  • Connecting AirPort Extreme to my Windows desktop PC and MacBook

    First I'd like to mention that I'm a brand new user of Macs so please excuse my ignorance. Is it at all possible to hook up my Windows PC and my Macbook Pro to the Airport Extreme so they can both share the same internet connection? I'm also pretty sure my Windows desktop PC is NOT Wifi ready. Help...thanks.

    Yes you can connect your PC via ethernet and your MBP can connect through ethernet or WiFi.
