Airport Extreme Slow Ping (Internet) Response

I am having problems with my dual-band airport extreme. When connecting to the external internet, I'm seeing high ping responses (>500ms) after about 5-10 minutes of resetting (hard reset) the Extreme and initially seeing 15-30ms response times.
I've tried:
1. Moving the router physcially in the house (no improvement)
2. Trying different channels on both 2.5 and 5 (some, but inconsistent improvement)
3. Multiple hard resets and reconfiguring the Extreme
4. Reinstall the firmware (haven't tried going down in firmware)
5. There are no cordless phones in the house
6. Absolute speed to the internet is strong (above my provider's stated speed)
7. If I connect my Macbook pro directly to the cable router, everything (ping + speed) is great.
8. Seeing slow ping responses both on my MacBook Pro and a separate PC
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? Seems like it a problem with the wireless connection and/or interference.
thanks!
Dale

had a 5th gen Extreme that I bought with 7.5 and immediately upgraded to 7.6. Saw the exact issue you described. exchanged it for a 6th gen Extreme, and am experiencing the same behavior again... both with 7.5.2 and 7.6 firmware.
everything is hunky dory when plugged directly into my cable modem.
third time's a charm, hopefully.

Airport Extreme slowing down internet connection to a crawl

Hi,
Can anyone explain this one?
Just this afternoon my internet connection slowed to a crawl. Pages would stall loading and I couldn't even collect emails. There was a connection there. A Google search might take a minute or so but anything else would barely flinch.
So I did a few restarts and complete power downs of all my peripherals, computers and network devices but no joy. I called my broadband provider who did a remote test of my cable modem and confirmed it was responding well.
So I removed the Airport Extreme from the network and connected directly to the modem. All was fine, in fact that is how I am working now. But when connecting the Airport Extreme back in I have this extremely slow connection. I have looked at both the Network preferences and Airport Setup Utility. Both claim the connection is good.
I also have an old G4 in another room. It was switched off during all the goings on this afternoon but I powered it up to see if the same problem persisted. Sure enough it does, as it is also connected via the AE. However, the local connection between computers is just fine.
So how do I resolve this? Why would the AE cause such an internet slowdown?
Thanks,
Colin

I've had similar symptoms on my network. Here are network details:
Comcast is the ISP
I have an Extreme and an Express set up as a single wireless network.
Extreme is plugged in to the cable modem. Express is an extension of the Extreme.
Devices that are regularly "on network": Mac Mini (G4), MacBook, Mac Pro, 2 TiVO Series 2.
All Macs are running 10.4.10.
Symptom: Over the course of 3-6 weeks, wireless access slows to a crawl for the Intel-based MacBook and MacPro, but not the PowerPC Mini. All web sites, email traffic, etc., for the Intel Macs becomes painful: CNN's home page loads in minutes, not seconds, for example. Unplugging and replugging the Express doesn't do anything. Powering off and on the Extreme resolves the issue. For now. There are no pending firmware updates for the Express or Extreme that I'm aware of.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

How do I use Airport Extreme to limit internet time for my kids? His computer is hardwired to the modem.

You can set up daily time limits for each computer that connects using wireless, but it is not possible to do this when a computer is connecting directly using a wired Ethernet connection.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac and click Manual Setup
Click the Access Control tab below the icons
Select Timed Access
For more details on this, click the Help menu at the top of the screen and enter the following phrase into the search box:
Controlling access to your wireless network
A more sophisticated approach would be to use a service provided by OpenDNS. From your computer, this would allow you to monitor web sites visited, and block any unsuitable sites. More info is here:

USING TWO AIRPORT EXTREMES (802.11N) INTERNET IS VERY SLOW

I live in a 5000sq ranch in arizona and have our internet set up in one end of the house. We have an airport extreme 802.11n and it wasnt putting out a good signal to the other end of the house so we got another airport extreme and airport express to expand out network. By the way both are 802.11n and the internet is still not even usable because it is so slow. The only computer that has some sort of speed is the mac tower that is hardwired to the airport. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you could ethernet the two Extreme N routers(try to place the second further into the house) and set the second in bridge mode and set to create its own wireless networrk. Use the manual configuration. The third can join the second, signal should reach and be strong. This must be in bridge mode also.
there are many different ways to set the configuration for wireless but the bridge mode is a must do.

Airport Extreme Slowing Internet Connection

Hope someone can provide some direction for me!
A few weeks ago I started noticing slowed internet speeds,but thought nothing of it, and attributed the slow down to peak periods. About a week ago was the first time I ran a speed test due to a noticeable depreciation in connection speed. Then, and still today, I’m averaging about 3.4 mbps down / 6 mbps up both wireless and wired with Ethernet cable through the airport extreme. I have Comcast Blast which, until the slowdown, was averaging 20 mbps down / 6 mbps up.
My setup:
Macbook (mid-2010), OS X 10.7
Mac mini (early-2009), OS X 10.7
Motorola SB5100 Modem
Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd Generation)
Here’s the kicker: when my macbook is directly connected tothe modem (removing the airport extreme), I get amazingly fast internet (26mbps down / 6 mbps up).
I’ve been browsing around here looking for solutions since my warranty’s expired and have tried the following:
thanks to this previous discussion
-Changed Frequency Channel to less populated channels
-Changed Fireware Versions (was 7.5.2, tried 7.4.2, 7.4.1,and 7.4)
-Moved the router’s location
-Moved the
-Reset the modem
-Reset the Airport Extreme
-Factory reset the Airport Extreme
-Made sure “Ethernet WAN Port” was set to “Automatic(Default)”
-Changed/Temporarily Removed Security
Some users have found success (as discussed in the discussion linked above) by swapping out their cable modem. I own mine, so it would be a matter of purchasing a new one (though I'd rather not buy a new one if it's actually my Airport that's failing)
Could my Airport Extreme be dying and it’s time for a new one?
Any suggestions or thoughts of things to try?
Thanks, Everybody!

Well, I'll see if you can explain this one:
As suggested, I used Airport Utility to switch the Radio Mode from "Automatic" to "802.11a/n - 802b/g." I was unable to find the option to select "802.11n (5) only - 802.11n only (2.4)."
I ran the test again with the following results:
     Client Side: [ 4] 0.0-60.0 sec 497408 KBytes 67909 Kbits/sec
     Server Side: 0.0-59.7 sec 497408 KBytes 68253 Kbits/sec
No Change.
I then discovered that under "Wireless Network Options..." my checked "5GHz Network" had become unchecked. I re-checked this box and connected both server and client computers to this new network and re-ran the test:
     Client: [ 4] 0.0-60.1 sec 392192 KBytes 53496 Kbits/sec
     Server: 0.0-60.1 sec 392192 KBytes 53476 Kbits/sec
Seemingly slower.
HOWEVER, now when I run an internet speed test, I'm consistently getting ~28mbps down/~6mbps up across all devices (mac mini, macbook). I'm sort of unclear as to what's causing this change, but it appears, at least for the time being, that the issue has resolved.
Should I be concerned that the AEBSn is not transfering data near the 300 Mbps on the 5GHz channel? What else could be playing into this issue?

Wired Mac on Airport Extreme slowing down Wireless network?

I have an Airport Extreme 802.11n and a MacBook Pro 15" (unibody). I recently added a MacMini Core 2 duo as an iTunes server, and since it didn't have 802.11n (it's an older one), I shut off the WiFi and ethernet cable'd it to my Airport Extreme. It works great; I can see the Mini in Shared devices from the MacBook Pro, share the screen, and my Apple TV syncs beautifully as well.
Then today I noticed that the internet connection on my laptop was really slow. After some chasing I realized that the same speed tests from http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ ran on the ethernet-Mini vs the WiFi-MacBook Pro were radically different. At any given time, the speed on the MacBook Pro was as low as 25% the speed on the Mini… sometimes even worse!
I discovered that if I shut down the Mini, the MacBook Pro speed increases. Not to the same point as the Mini, but I can attribute some loss to just being on WiFi and only getting about 60% signal strength (according to iStumbler -- even though the mac WiFi signal strength shows full bars… anyway). But in the past (before the Mini was added) I've run those speedtests and seen results like I'm seeing now only on the Mini.
So why would this tethered Mac be causing such a slowdown?
I'm about to upgrade to the new Time Capsule with separate 802.11 b/g and n antennas but would like to understand this problem before I make that upgrade. Something else feels wrong to me.
btw I did recently upgrade to the 7.4.1 firmware (at the same time I did the Mini addition… poor science, I know), and so I tried reverting it back to 7.3.2 to see if that made any difference, and it did not.

So I started poking around a bit more this morning, and ended up doing a slew of tests. A LOT of tests. I tested two different portables and the Mini, tested with the Mini off and on, and tested with Safari 3 or 4 (depending on what was on each system) and Firefox 3. I then tested the portable plugged directly into the wire.
I ran each test three times and averaged them.
There are some very interesting results.
Tests with Mini on vs. Min off makes a negligible difference on average on Safari. However Firefox performance consistently went down with the Mini off.
But here's the big shocker – performance of any wired computer was between three and TEN (!!!!) times that of the wireless! This is unbelievable.
Worth noting I was sure to disable all other wifi devices on the network, even the other portable, when performing the tests. Apple TV and iPhones were all powered down during these tests.
All my test results are visible here on iWork.com here: http://bit.ly/KYGTj (I think anyone can log in using an apple ID, if not then email me or post your email address here and I'll add you to the list)

Airport Extreme Slow Wifi Network

Hi All,
I have a airport extreme setup as the Wireless access port to a network. The LAN network is a Gigabit network. When I ping the server/router via the network I do get a ping of 0.400ms. However when we go via the Wifi the airport extreme give us connect of a very high ping.

Just to recap. The ADSL(Internet) Router is giving DCHP address via the LAN network to the Airport Extreme. The Airport is connected to the LAN via the WAN port.
Any advise will be great!!

Airport Extreme setup- No internet, am I missing somthing?

I used Airport Utility to set up an Airport Extreme network. I have a Comcast modem and a USB printer hooked to it. Both the cable modem and the Airport Extreme LED's indicate they are functioning correctly. My iMac recognizes the network I set up but I cant connect to the internet. If I hook the cable modem to the iMac directly I can use the internet or I can also connect using a near by unsecured wireless network, I just cant connect my Airport Extreme.
Is there a control in the system (Networking and/or Internet sharing) that I need to set? Any ideas? Thanks...

Cable modems need a complete reset whenever you make a change.
Push the reset button on the modem and power it down
Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
Power off everything else on your network...all devices....order is not important
Wait at least 30 minutes
Make sure the modem's ethernet cable is connected to the WAN por (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem first and let it run by itself for 4-5 minutes
Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up each device the same way

Airport Extreme Connected to Internet but Macbook Pro will not

I'm living in an apartment and using an Airport Extreme to supply wireless connection. The internet is paid for by the apartment complex and I have no access to the modem. Up until yesterday the internet worked fine for all devices. I did several factory resets on the Airport Extreme and now have confirmed internet access with my PS3 and smartphone connected to the wireless network. However, my macbook pro will connect to the wireless network but will not go beyond that to the web. I have renewed DHCP leases, reset network configurations and deleted plists to refresh everything but it still does not work. I have noted that when connected to the network, I have an IP address that begins with 192.168.x.x and the macbook states the router address begins the same way. The Airport Extreme displays an IP address of 172.xxx.x.x
I can manually input the routers IP address into my laptops network configuration and create an IP similar and connect to the internet through the laptop but if I want to connect to other networks I have reset that information. It simply won't work automatically. The airport extreme is setup in bridge mode. That is the only setup which would offer stable networking without any dropping or the device disappearing from the airport utility.
I'm currently out of my apartment and will call my ISP later today, but this problem has affected my roommates macbook's as well. My last attempt to connect directly into the wall ethernet jack yielded the same results without any internet connection.

Try this:
Put the Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode and plug the apartment ethernet cable into a normal ethernet port on the back of the Airport Extreme instead of the normal "Internet" ethernet port.

Airport Extreme Connected to Internet, Yet No Longer to Powerbook G4

Airport was connected over a cable modem to the internet just fine until last night.
It stopped working--no browser or email.
I can still connect fine directly from the cable modem though.
Internet Connect seems to think I have a strong connection, but my applications (browser, emails) disagree.
I've been accross the internet and back trying to solve this.
I've tried:
a) Apple>System Preferences>Network shows:
"Airport is connected to the network <<my network name>>. You are connected to the internet via AirPort"
b) Apple>System Preferences>Assist me>Assistant
(or Applications>Utilities>Airport Setup Assistant) shows:
"Congratulations! Your Airport Extreme is configured to connect to the Internet and share a USB printer. If you use a cable modem to connect to the Internet, you may need to turn the modem off, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on."
Internet Connect then, still, shows a strong signal level and status reads: "Connected to <<my network name>>. Connected to the internet via Ethernet."
c) Apple>System Preferences>Assist me>Diagnostics:
Airport works
Airport Settings = failed
It then wants me to reboot the device (i.e., I think, the modem or whatever else isn't sending a singnal to the computer).
I tried this but again, the modem works fine .... it seems to be somewhere between the PowerBook and Airport Extreme that is the problem.
d) I've tried with no success downgrading from Airport Extreme Firmware V5.6 to V5.5.1
e) With no success I've reinstalled from CD the Airport Extreme software V4.2
f) With no success I've selected "Enable interference robustness" thinking perhaps another network in the building was interfering (airport seems to recognize another airport but iStumbler doesn't seem to).
g) I've messed with Apple>System Preferences>Network>Configure so much now that if there was anything that isn't broken, it probably is now.
I've taken a crash course in AirPort over the last 24 hours (and failed) and have soft (5 seconds) and hard booted (30 seconds?) this thing so many time .... I'm ready to, you know, boot it out the door next (it has a nice aerodynamic shape I've come to really appreciate in the last several hours).
I know there is something I'm doing wrong, overlooked, or haven't tried.
Any thoughts????
Thanks in advance,
Jayson

Jayson,
It sounds like your airport needs to be changed to no longer distribute IP addresses the way it is currently set to do. Go to the airport setup, make note of settings as you go (shift + command + 4, select area with "crosshair" cursor and let go to make a pdf of the screen, selected area, print the pdf in PREVIEW if you want to save yourself the time writing them down!), and MAKE SURE YOU ONLY CHANGE WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND and are sure of. Sorry for yellin'!
In the airport settings (sorry, I'm retrieving from my organic grey/white matter memory here), I believe there is a place in the internet tab for changing the APX to no longer distribute IP addresses, or to share single IP's, etc. If you wish, try to see if toggling off the distribution, rebooting (not resetting) devices, and starting up the computer allows a "tunnel" through the modem.
Many cable/DSL modems are firmware-set to ALSO distribute IP addresses, so the two devices (modem and airport) are constantly sending packets back-and-forth, handshaking endlessly and the most recently "shaken hand" is the device distributing addresses.
The problem arises here (or, at least this is one case I am describing in which your symptoms match up closely) since your computer sees the packets, the web traffic and "open door," etc., but it is somewhat like thinking a window is a door. You can see out of it, verify the "door" by looking outside, but the lock is on the OUTSIDE (the modem), locking you in, with your airport sitting idly and thinking that you can get out since it is essentially letting you have a distributed IP address...it's all rather like the mom from "Carrie" or something...you and your dirty pillows. Stay inside the closet for now-- yeah, right.
If shutting of distribution in your airport still allows the computer to connect as wired to the LAN port and your modem still plugged into the airport's WAN port (after saving airport settings and rebooting all devices, computer LAST, airport a few minutes after the modem), you are even more likely to be in this aformentioned battle of the handshaking devices.
If so, find out from manuals/manufacterer's online notes/good state-side non-Apple tech help (and other fictional situations) if the cable modem can be set to not act like a router, and more like a modem by just giving one DHCP address, or static address if you must, and not conflicting with a router. Don't say airport unless you must-- so many tech-help places quote the crapola cop-out that Apple isn't compatible or something. Most of the time, cable modems only require the fairly universal web packet compatibility, and the mac/airport does the rest. Very few modems, especially from a large broadband provider, will prevent you from using an airport or a mac. The few I have seen were firmware issues with older, rather ready-to-be-shot DSL modems that should have been doorstops or clay pigeon surrogates a long time ago.
If you can play around (with guidance) and reset the modem to simply get an IP, send it to the router (that is, the airport), and then let the airport do the distribution, all you have to do is switch the airport back to distributing a range of addresses-- I like the 10.0.1.x selection, but I find the last of three choices (something like 169.x.x.x) to occassionaly be the magic x-factor bullet from Narnia that makes the bells ring and your airport finally wired AND wireless.
Before you heed any "advice" I may be stating, do some googling regarding the topics I mentioned, since NOBODY is all-knowing or perfect in ANYTHING, and I don't want your problems to be worse. Exhaust all other sources of information that you may have, but the above prattling was from my troubleshooting an endless stream of constant problems with a similar setup, and it may help you. Reply if you wish and I'll add more if you want.
Sorry if I'm writing like a monkey *(&%% a football on an icy pond. I'm juggling a few upgrade jobs on my workbench, and listening to the new INXS album from itunes, so I'm a little geared up. BEST OF LUCK! Happy holidays, whatever they may be for you.

How do I connect my Airport Extreme to the Internet, It will not connect

I just got roadrunner internet and switched from dsl. I've been using the modem that came with dsl, but now I'm trying to use the Airport Extreme. My Imac does have the airport card, and I am able to get it to work with the airtunes to work with my stereo speakers, but I can't get a wireless internet connection. I've tried going through the set-up and I still can't get the internet connection to work. Can someone help me set it up?

I'm a little cofused. Do you have an express or an extreme? Or both? In the case of either the solo exrpress or the extreme, they need something to access the internet with. It would need a source, most likely to be ethernet connected to the modem. Unless you have a modem that also acts as a wireless router or some such concoction. You would then have a wireless router to give your iMac a wireless signal.

Can I connect remotely to my AirPort Extreme via the Internet?

I would like to connect to the AirPort Extreme at my home when I'm on the road via the Internet and access the USB drive attached to the Extreme. The Extreme is connected to my existing DSL modem, so I can't / don't want to use the PPP dial-up mode.
Any guidance from the community would be appreciated!

The following are the basic steps to configure access to an AirPort Disk from the Internet. Note: These instructions assume that the AirPort is the only router in your network configuration. That is, it is directly connected to the Internet modem and there are no routers upstream of it.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

Airport extreme slow in feb-2012

With update 7.6 me airport extreme became slow. Worst of all, with this upgrade, I lost my administrator functionality to downgrade the firmware to a good workinf release. Can anybody help?

My download speeds are 40Mbps and have been for over a year. After the firmware 7.6.1 / utility 6.0 update my Airport extreme and airport are under 8Mbps, however my hard wire connections are still at 40Mbps. What gives? Any thoughts Apple gurus or am I going to have to purchase a non-apple wirless router?
Thanks

Connected to Airport Extreme but not internet

Yesterday after returning from work, all of a sudden I couldn't get any internet access through my airport extreme. I could connect to it and play music through "airtunes".
I looked at the settings of the airport BS and everything looked the way it should. After doing some trial and error I found out that I can get internet access through the airport BS when disabling "Distribute IP addresses".
However with Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can't get iTunes to connect to the airport allowing me to play music wirelessly through my stereo.
Anyway, here's my setup:
Airport:
Wireless mode: Create a wireless Network (Home Router)
Wireless security: WPA2 personal
Channel: Automatic
Create a closed network (checked)
Mode: 802.11g Only
Internet:
Configure: Using DHCP
Network:
Distribute IP addresses (checked)
Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) checked
USE 10.0.1.1 addressing
With that setup I can play music through airtunes but not get any internet connection.
Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can get internet access but not play music through airtunes.
Anybody has an idea what could be wrong?

Yes. Disable that. Using that may make you feel good but the MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned. Instead use WPA with a non-dictionary password.
