Connecting AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service

I want to connect my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service. The ActionTec wireless router supplied by Verizon died, and I bought an AirPort Extreme as a replacement. When I configured the AirPort extreme, it would not connect to the internet. I have read some posts here that indicate I plug my AirPort Extreme into the ActionTec and I am OK, however the ActionTec is dead.
Are there settings for the AirPort Extreme that are unique for going straight to the internet? What am I missing? My FiOS connection is an Ethernet connection- not coax.
Here is the interesting thing- I have an old AirPort Extreme (the round cone shaped model) that I plugged into the Verizon FiOS Ethernet connection. Everything works fine- I have a wireless connection to the internet. I didn't set anything. So my assumption is that I can make the new AirPort Extreme work with the Verizon FiOS.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I do not know if I have the strength to go through the Verizon help desk.

Good news! My problem was solved by calling Verizon FiOS support. The service tech said an AEBS can connect straight to the FiOS Ethernet connection. He broke the "lease" on my connection, had me connect the cable from the wall to my WAN slot, and then he "leased" my network connection to my AEBS. Works like butter now.
He said that the Verizon FiOS network "leases" the network connections every 24 hours or so, and had I left my AEBS connected to the network, it would have pushed the new setting down to the AEBS.
Thanks for all of the input.

Airport Extreme 2nd Gen - can not retrieve or assign an IP address

I had two 2nd gen Airport Extreme base stations. One connects to the internet, the other bridges the network to my office where I have wired devices connected. The office base station was no longer allowing me to connect to my USB drive for time machine backups, but all of the wired devices were routing to the internet properly.
I purchased a new base station (5th gen), bringing my total to three extreme stations and two express base stations (one express for an old wired network printer, the other for streaming music).
The old main base station is moved into the office, and the new base station (5th gen) becomes the "main" internet access point. I reset both devices and they install without a hiccup. Ditto the new express stations - they connect without having to reset them. Everything works as it did before the upgrade.
I take the old office base station (the one that would not allow me to backup via time machine) and do a factory reset. It reboots, the light flashes yellow (not surprising). I hook an old macbook (10.6.8) up to the old base station (and turned off the wifi) using a wired ethernet cable the ethernet port is assigned an IP address (10.0.1.2) via DHCP. My other macbook pro (10.8.5) running the latest AirPort Utility sees the old base station using wifi (under other wifi network). I select the old base station it automatically connects it to my new base station stating:
"This Airport Extreme will now be set up to extend <my new 5th gen AirPort Extreme base station>"
I change the default name and click next.
Now when the old office base station boots it will not connect to the network - it still flashes yellow. It will not assign itself an IP address, the macbook plugged into the ethernet port (using dhcp) shows (under network settings):
"Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet."
(the 169.... number)
Now the funky part. I manually set the wired ethernet's IP4 configuration (IP, subnet, router and dns server) on the old Macbook running snow leapord (10.6.8) - remember the wifi is turned off - and bingo - I am connected to the internet. All the while my old AirPort Exreme continues to blink yellow. If I manually assign an IP address to the AirPort Exreme's light turns green.
Clearly the old device is working. The ethernet port works, the wifi works - routing traffic from the wired ethernet through my home network and out to the internet. My AirPort utility on all my macs can see the base station, and can configure it (via wifi). I have even tried (via wifi) downgrading the firmware to 7.6.3 and then to 7.6.0 and the back up to 7.6.4. The only thing it will not do is give retrieve an IP address, or assign an IP address to wired devices.
Any ideas?

I attempted to see/access (via the Disk Utility on my iMac) two drives already connected to my AirPort Extreme, but could not.
These drives are shared "network" drives, which Disk Utility cannot access. Disk Utility will only be able to access a drive if it is connected directly to a Mac.
If you need to format the drive(s), partition them, etc., you must do so with the drive connected directly to the Mac, then move them to the USB powered hub location at the AirPort Extreme.
These drives are available through the Finder and are used for Time Machine
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the AirPort Extreme, but some users seem to be able to make this work.
1) Can I see/access USB drives (properly fomatted and visible/accessible in the Finder window) attached to my AirPort Extreme (2nd gen-firmware version 7.6.2)via a powered USB hub?
Probably. Some users find that one powered hub will work for them while another might not. To "see" the drives, you must first click on the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder. Then, if the drives are formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), each drive will appear as a folder. Double click the folder name to mount the drive on the desktop.
2) Can I use my iMac (running Lion 10.7.4) to create a concatenated disk set with USB drives (of varying size) attached to my AirPort Extreme via a powered USB hub?
The drives will all appear as separate drives, which must be accessed separately. If you were thinking of trying to start Time Machine backups on one drive and have them continue automatically on another drive when the first drive is full, that will not work.

Problems getting an external hard drive to work on the new Airport Extreme

I have spent hours trying to get my 320GB external hard drive to work with the new airport extreme 802.11N. I have spent hours pouring over all of the posts here discussing possible solutions, all of which have not worked. This morning, however, I gave it another try and FINALLY, I have it working. I tried something simple. Here it is:
Using the Apple Disk Utility Program, I formated my drive using the MS-DOS mode, called my Hard drive "ItunesHD". It took about 20 minutes to complete (i'm assuming because of the size of the drive). I then unplugged the router and hard drive, turned on the hard drive, then the router. After my macbook pro reconnected, I clicked on the iDisk utility icon in my menu bar, provided my password and FINALLY saw the network drive icon on my desktop!!! It seems that formatting my drive using MS-DOS compatibility mode finally worked for me. I'm not saying this will work for anyone else who is having this problem, but you can at least try it. I tried all of the MAC formatting options and have had no luck.
What I would like to know now is (..if anyone has these answers, please let me know):
1. What is the maximum SINGLE drive capacity that this router will understand...500GB, 1TB, 2TB? I would like to get the biggest bang for my buck.
2. Keeping #1 one in mind, I purchased an Apple TV (still waiting on it to arrive) and I would like to know if it will read multiple hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme router (...say (2) 500GB hard drives). I know you can have multiple libraries in iTunes (which to me is a cheesy solutions, there should be an option in the preferences that would allow you to save your music in one place and your movies in another). Anybody have any idea on this one?
I basically want to rip all of my dvd movies on a big hard drive connected to my airport extreme to use with my AppleTV , so I just need to find out about the maximum size and hooking up more than one hard drive and getting the AppleTV to recognize them all.

Sorry you had so much trouble hooking up a hard drive to the base station. I've done some experimenting with the feature and this is what I've found out.
You can use either the native Mac format, Mac OS Extended, or the Microsoft format known as FAT. Apple calls FAT, MS-DOS File System in Disk Utility.
If you use Mac OS Extended, the Macs on the network will be able to connect to the drive using the native AFP (Apple File Protocol) or the Microsoft native SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. PCs will only use the SMB protocol of course.
If you use MS-DOS File System both the Macs and the PCs will only use SMB to connect to the drive over the network.
Basically I've found everything works as expected with regard to volumes connected to a network.
One thing I don't have installed is the iDisk Utility. I'm wondering if it may be the cause of the problems you were having. But reading through your post it may also be the difference between expected behaviour and the proper procedure for discovering and mounting network volumes. Let me explain.
You only mention having trouble getting the drive to show up on your Desktop, you didn't describe how you went about discovering the network drive. It isn't just suppose to show up on your desktop when you plug it in to the Extreme base station. It doesn't work like the iDisk or disks connected directly to your computer using USB/Firewire.
Normally with network drives you're suppose to either browse for them using the Network icon in the Finder or using the Connect to Server command in the Finder's Go menu, you would type the address in directly for the network volume you want to mount. Try it and see what happens.
Now to answer your other questions.
I don't have a volume large enough to hit any limits the base station may have but I did read a post about someone who said they had a 1.5 TB volume connected and could only see 1 TB of it. They were forced to partition the drive to see all available space and of course the volumes showed up as two separate drives. One thing wasn't made clear though. They didn't say what volume format they were using to format the drive, Mac OS Extended or MS-DOS.
Everything having to do with the AppleTV is just speculation at this point since no one has one yet but from what has been demonstrated so far, AppleTV relies on iTunes. In other words, it won't pull data from network volumes on its own, a computer running iTunes needs to feed it.

Connecting a Gateway M-Series Laptop to Airport Extreme

Seem to be having a little issue with getting my laptop to connect on the Extreme. I have my Imac connected directly to the Base station with an eithernet cable and have a dsl modem going into the base station. I want to wirelessly connect the laptop that is running Vista Ultimate. When I connect it stays on for about 30min just fine then all of a sudden the base station light goes to amber and then reboots it self. Then my laptop will connect again. I cant seem to figure out what would cause this. Anyone have any ideas?

does anyone know if there's anyway to connect a USB printer and an external HD to a single airport extreme base station simultaneously???
Yes, by using a USB hub.

Access to external drives connected to Airport Extreme via USB Hub

I have 2 computers connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. I have a Belkin powered USB hub connected to the USB port on the Extreme. There is a Lacie hard drive, a USB printer and a Kingston flash drive connected to the USB hub.
The printer was connected using Bonjour and is working fine. The other devices connected to the USB hub aren't getting picked up. They did work at one point, but are no longer viewable from the computers (MAC Book and Windows XP). How can I re-configure the Extreme or my computers so that they'll work again?

DLNA = Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA works in a Server-Client fashion with the Server providing the means to stream audio/video files to the client. DLNA servers are also called media servers. The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), with an attached USB HDD at best, can perform as a media storage device ... not as a server. You would still need a media server (either hardware or software) to perform this role.
For example, I use a software DLNA-compliant media server, called TwonkyServer. I run this server on one of my Mac minis. It gets its media files that are stored on a USB HDD attached to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). TwonkyServer then streams these video files to my Xbox 360 which performs as a media client/player.

Airport Extreme Base Station N and Buffalo Linkstation

I want to set up a Buffalo Linkstation with my Airport Extreme Base Station
I have two options on the linkstation
1. ethernet
2. USB (female port)
Can I use the NAS over ethernet? Or do I have to use USB? If I use USB will it work if both the linkstation and the base station have female ports.
Will a USB with both male ends work? Who makes that?

I've decided to use the drive as a network drive and I've gone into the control panel and changed all the folders to Mac/PC
Can I use Backup to backup to a network drive? Or is there a better program?

How I Can "chain" 2 HDD and share it through Airport Extreme?

The question is, I have an Iomega HDD 500 Gb and I want to buy another, but I want to share it through the Airport Extreme USB Share Port. The idea is to see it as a single volume (better) or as a two different HDD (worse). It's possible to chain this two HDD through firewire ports or the USB? It's possible to share more than one disk through the Airport Extreme?
Thanks

Only drives I been able to connect successfully and continues are OWC drives on the Airport extreme base thru usb port. I have two drive thru belkin hub connected to two 250GB from OWC drives. To back up large files take for ever. So I have changed or converted to NAS drives.
I hope this will help you?

Configuring a pc hardwired to airport extreme

I have an airport extreme (not the newest one), and I am trying to hardwire a pc to it. The PC does not have a wireless card.
The airport extreme is connected to the internet via cable modem.
When I put the ethernet cable directly from the PC to the cable modem, I can access the internet.
When I put the ethernet cable from the PC into the LAN port of the airport extreme, it does not find the internet connection.
I have seen many posts about setting up a wireless network and PC but I want to hardwire it. Does anyone know if this can be done, and what are the steps on the PC that I need to do? Do I need to know anything about which port to put the ethernet cable in to the airport extreme?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is the Windows 7 computer set to obtain an IP address automatically?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-tcp-ip-settings#1TC=windows-7
Since you have several other devices properly working, the AirPort Extreme base station as such seems to be correctly configured.
Would it be correct to assume that the Arris modem in question is a plain wired cable modem? The reason for asking is that some wireless models appear to require enabling bridge mode when using a third-party (in this case Apple) router. See also

Crashing Airport Extremes

I have read over and over on this forum and a great many others, how the saucer shaped Airport Extremes crash, sometimes several times a day. No one to date has posted a real solution, and by real I mean something other than "reset it to factory and set it up again" which yes I have done and no it doesn't work.
Let me say that I have numerous Vlans here at where I work. Only on one Vlan, the main one and the largest, does the Airports crash. If I move them someplace where nothing connects to them, like my workbench, they run seemingly forever. If I connect them to another Vlan in my office and use them for that, they never crash.
I have done this with 5 or 6 Airport Extremes. Backgrading the firmware did not help. It may have helped some people, but I don't think that is the cause. Something ON the network, perhaps Windows doing DHCP is crashing them. I have noticed one thing in common: Everywhere an airport crashes regularly, there is someone using a Windows laptop using DHCP. Places where only Macs connect, I do not have this problem.
Does this stir anyone's imagination to suggest a possible cause? Could it be a DHCP option that Windows is trying to query the DHCP server for? I am using a 3rd party DHCP server (meaning NOT Windows). Just tossing that out there.
Also, can we all agree that archiving past UNRESOLVED issues is a bad practice? That means I am going to have to repost and say everything everyoen else has already said all over again because I cannot post to an archived thread.

Does this help?

Best way to extend Airport Extreme range in urban dwelling?

Greetings all.
I have a problem with the range of my Airport Extreme. It is likely due to the fact that I live in a large loft with metal studs between the walls, and a lot of masonry as well. It also might have to do with the fact that there are about 12-20 networks I can see at any time, and I live above an AT&T hotspot as well.
I am looking for a way to make my Airport Extreme broadcast stronger.
Is the best way to do this to add an aftermarket antenna? Is it to use one or two Airport Express-es? Is it to add another Airport Extreme entirely?
The linear feet I need to cover is about 30' more from where my base station is at currently... however, given the potential interference as well as the steel walls... I am thinking MORE is better.
I have a very secure network, and do watch to ensure no other devices are logged onto my AE.

Welcome to the discussion area!
+I am looking for a way to make my Airport Extreme broadcast stronger.+
Since the Transmit Power of the AEBS is set at 100% by default, I doubt that you have lowered this setting, correct?
You won't be able to do anything about making the broadcast from the AEBS stronger, but you may be able to extend the existing signal using an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme.
The "best" way to do this is to run an ethernet cable from your AEBS to the extending device and set it up to duplicate your network. This type of setup preserves the bandwidth on the network more effectively than other wireless methods and will yield the best results. Is this a possibility?
Ethernet powerline adapters might be an option if running the ethernet cable is not possible. These devices transmit an ethernet signal over the AC powerline and generally work quite well.
For a potential wireless only solution, you could make use of the Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature using an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme. There will be some bandwidth loss using this "wireless only" method, but it may help extend the signal.
Since the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme have the same broadcast power, it would be simplest and also the most economical to use the AirPort Express. The compromise here is that the Express is a single band device and your AirPort Extreme may be a dual band device. If your device is a newer dual band version and you want to "extend" both bands, you will need to use an Airport Extreme.
Given the challenge of your very crowded airways there, unfortunately, there's going to be no assurance that adding another wireless device will really help your situation. If wireless interference from other networks is an issue now...and I suspect that it may well be...adding another device to extend your wireless signal may or may not help.
If you cannot get a good, stable signal with your laptop at 15-20 feet from the AirPort Extreme now, you have an interference issue, not a signal strength issue at that position.
If you decide to try an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme, either using ethernet or wireless, it would be wise to understand the store's return/credit policy in case things don't work out as hoped.
Let us know if you have any questions, etc.

Extend existing network with Airport extreme and 3 airport express.

I want to extend an existing network (thomson TG787v) with an airport extreme (MD031Z/A) with 3 or 4 airport express(MC14Z/A)
The thomson is the router from the provider and must be used. The building is an old mansion with a lot of brick walls
I tried to connect the extreme with an ethernet cable (in bridge mode) and then connect the airport express in a line to have wifi in all rooms of the mansion.
But somehow the airport extremes cannot extend the network.
Can anyone tell me how to setup the apple devices to make this work?
Thanks
Bernhard

I tried to connect the extreme with an ethernet cable (in bridge mode)
This is the correct.
and then connect the airport express in a line to have wifi in all rooms of the mansion.
Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature will only allow you to "extend" the signal one time. So, the first Express would connect to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly and extend the signal.
But, you cannot "extend" the signal a second or third time. Each AirPort Express must be located so that it connects directly to the AirPort Extreme. In other words, each AirPort Express must be located about the same distance from the AirPort Extreme.
Another way of thinking about his is to visualize the hub and spokes of a wheel. The AirPort Extreme would be located at the "hub". Each AirPort Express would be located at then end of a "spoke". As such, each AirPort Express communicates directly to the AirPort Extreme.....not to another AirPort Express at the end of another hub.
You may need to consider installing Ethernet cable to each location where you will need an AirPort Express and configure the network that way. Performance wise, this is a much better way to "extend" the network.

Can a single wireless network exsist using an airport extreme and linksys?

What i want to know is can i bridge the Airport Extreme base station with a Linksys (WRT54G) wireless router? I live in an apartment and can't run any cables, so can i use my airport as my primary wireless router and connect to it with the Linksys router? Want to use the linksys as a gamming hub near the tv for console lan partys. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Mode for Airport Extreme Edimax 3G 6200L

Hello everybody,
I've been dealing with this issue for some time now, and I can't seem to be able to sort it out, so I need your help.
I live in a place where we have lots of guests, so I need to share with them my internet connection. I don't want them to have access to my network, so I would like to create a Guest network.
My hardware is: a 3G Airtel dongle, an Edimax 3G 6200L router and an Apple Airport Extreme 5th generation. The internet comes throught he dongle, I live in Africa and there is no other connection available right now. The dongle is connected to Edimax router, because Airport Extreme doesn't support usb connections.
Then, the Edimax router is set to send internet via ethernet only (wifi is turned off to avoid interference). It is connected (via Ethernet) to the Airport Extreme, which is set to Bridge Mode. Airport Extreme creates and send wifi signal.
The problem is that I cannot set the Guest Network on the Airport Extreme. I know I have to change the Bridge Mode to DHCP or DHCP and NAT, but then the internet doesn't work at all and Airport Utility complains about double NAT.
Can anyone please help me with the configuration? Is there something I must do on the Airport Extreme settings page? Is there something I need to change in Edimax settings page?
Thank you in advance!

This is going to be difficult.
I think you will have to just test a couple of scenarios.. and you should start by saving the current configuration on both the edimax and the Apple Extreme. Just so you can easily revert if you need to.
1. Do a test of the actual IP being delivered to your system.
Check the edimax and find the WAN IP .. this is important as many ISP do not give public IP on wireless anyway. If this is the case you are probably wasting your time.. I would simply turn the wireless back on on the edimax and set it to isolation (if possible.. it is not in the manual for the 6200nl I downloaded).. you can set the wireless channel to say 1 and use the AE at 11 but leaving it at auto is usually fine. Use the wireless on the edimax as your guest wireless.. but to properly protect your computer files you may still need to set it to NAT.. and ignore the double NAT.
2. Put the AE in the DMZ of the Edimax and ignore the double NAT.. this is better than the above.
3. Turn off the NAT in the edimax
There is no bridge mode mentioned in the manual for the Edimax.. so the only suggestion I can give is to try turning off the NAT in the edimax.. and set the AE to use dhcp for internet and dhcp and NAT for network.. reboot both edimax and AE and see what happens. The IP on the WAN must be different subnet to the IP on the LAN so if both end up 10.x.x x addresses you will need to move the LAN IP of the AE to some other range. .you do this via the dhcp setup .. which is very odd.
