Arris Router then Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 DNS Windows Remote Desktop?

I get internet access from Arris router - Atheros AR9285 driver (obtains IP address automatically) - to Apple Airport Extreme 7.6.4 for Wifi to all home gagets. I was able to "Remote Assist" and "Remote Desktop" at home on multi Windows 7s. However, I am having problems outside when traveling because my IP address changes.
So far, I gave permission to window firewall. Next, I added a 3389 port in Apples Airport Extreme. When I am not home. I want to access my home computer. Which IP address do I enter? "What is my IP" is not going to help when I'm not home. That IP is for the Router only anyway. How do I get a static IP address? How do I connect to my super muscle home computer from my wimpy portables?

You need a static public IP which you buy from your ISP.. this is not internal LAN IP..
If your ISP cannot supply it or it is too expensive.. then you need to use dynamic DNS.. this is not going to be easy because apple do not include a DDNS client and the global domain name seems to no longer work.
Look at tesserax document on remote access.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
The problem is, that is for Apple clients.. not windows. Is your wimpy portable a windows computer??
Strongly recommend using a VPN router in that case.. relegate the AE to wireless bridge duties.
If the Arris is a modem router then it will probably work.. almost every router in the world has ddns except Apple.

I have a BT home Hub 3 with standard BT broadband(no infinity), how do I set up an Apple AirPort Extreme without a stand alone modem? Can I use my current Home Hub

I want to use an Apple AirPort Extreme as my home router but at present I have standard BT broadband using the BT Home hub 3. Can I connect them in some way so I don't need to buy a stand alone modem.
IS THIS POSSIBLE???
1. Would Apple AirPort Express be better and easier?
2. What modem would be suitable if I can't do it any other way?
I AM CURRENTLY USING MY INTERNET WITH PS3,WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP, IPAD AND IPHONE!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You said that you wanted the layout to look like this:
AT&T 2WIRE Router (wireless off) ---> AirPort Extreme ---> NetGear 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch ---> ethernet cabling to ports in most rooms --->
So, we took that at face value....,.but it could look like this if things are more convenient this way, if you prefer:
AT&T 2WIRE > Ethernet Switch > AirPort Extreme and other devices.
- If we include an AirPort Extreme in the overall network setup, are there any potential issues with the 2WIRE router and the AirPort Extreme router "competing" with one another?
No, if you leave the wireless function off on the 2WIRE. If you do want the utilize the wireless on the 2WIRE and the AirPort Extreme, then you want to keep them physically separated by 6-8 feet, or a few meters.
- Do I really need an AirPort Extreme in the final setup?
No, if the AirPort Express will provide enough range for the network.
Or if I just want an extra WAP, can I operate two AirPort Express units (with the same SSID) downstream of a 2WIRE router?
Yes, if both of them are configured to operate in Bridge Mode. If you are using the "wizard" setup utility in AirPort Utility 6.x, the wizard will do this for you automatically.
That is to say, could we have a setup that looks just like the image above, but with an extra AirPort Express tacked on to one of the unused ethernet ports?
You can have as many AirPort Express devices (or AirPort Extreme devices) as you want, as long as each has an Ethernet connection back to the switch.

Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

Hello all,
Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
*Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.
http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/repeaterhubs.html
Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

SETTING UP HP 8600 TO APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME

I recently purchased an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. Everything setup perfectly until I took on the task of connecting my HP 8600 All in One printer. I am hopelessly lost especially when it asked for a WEP or WPA key. Can anyone help or send me to the right place.

Will you be connecting this printer to the AirPort Extreme's USB port or via a wireless connection? I am assuming the latter since you ran aground on the WEP or WPA key question. These are types of wireless security passwords. These would be the same that you would use to connect a wireless computer to your network.
Typically, you would use the printer's front-panel interface to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. You want to use the default setting of the printer being a DHCP client so that it gets its appropriate IP addresses from your AirPort router. You should just need to enter the Wi-Fi network name and password into the panel settings in order for the printer to connect.

Make a wifi login/email subscribe on apple airport extreme

Hi everyone, I have been wondering for awhile now how to use an Apple Airport Extreme/Capsule/Express in my coffee shop to generate an email list.
I have searched the internet for nearly 3 hours now but no answers, well inexpensive ones.
I just want customers to be able to connect to my wifi, then have to enter their email/number/ like on Facebook or whatever.
How do I do that?

Apple routers have no such ability.
The security is setup via fixed passwords.. that do not change for each person.
You also have no right to tap into people's email accounts.

Solaris Express Developer Edition + Apple Airport Extreme

I just installed Solaris Express Develper Edition without any problems, but I can't seem to get my wireless connection up and running. I use an Apple Airport Extreme and while my MacBook with Mac OS X and my Xubuntu machine have no problems connecting to the internet through the Airport, my Solaris says he can't connect.
I allready disabled the Auto-magic stuff so I can setup the connection manually. I did it with the following two commands:
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
The wireless interface ath0 can detect all the available networks (including mine), so it works.
My Airport uses WPA/WPA2 Personal and DHCP.
In the Network settings of Solaris I've set the properties of the wireless ath0 interface as follows:
* enable this connection
* activate on boot
* network name (ESSID): my network is detected and I can select it from the dropdown list of available networks
* Key Type: Plain (ASCII)
* WEP key: my WEP key (the thing I filled in as WPA/WPA2 Personal on my airport)
* Connection settings Configuration: DHCP
I click OK and then try to activate the ath0 interface, but it doesn't work. The message is:
"Could noet enable the interface ath0
Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it".
Which is frustrating, because as far as I know, the settings are correct (ESSID, WEP, ...) and the computer is correctly connected as it can detect all the available wifi networks in my area.
Does anybody have any idea? Thnx in advace,
Nico

I just use sys-unconfig and select DHCP and off it goes.

HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou!

Welcome!
Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
Two possible solutions on the power cord
ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:

How do I change my wireless password on Apple Airport extreme

How do I change the wireless password on my Apple Airport extreme?

On your Mac......
Click the Finder icon (that smiley face on the left side of the dock)
Open Applications
Open Utilities
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Edit / backspace out the current Wireless Password entry
Do the same to Verify the new password
It might be a good idea to write down the new password and store the info in a safe place
Click Update in the upper right corner of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
WDS network
If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

Apple Airport Extreme No Wireless Signal

Other than downgrading firmware, re-installing software or reinstalling an older OS (Windows style thinking), does anyone have a solution to this problem
I have an Apple Airport Extreme that has recently become useless because it emits or receives no radio signals.
I was running a Wireless Distributions System for a couple of years without any problems. The Extreme was the base connected by Ethernet to a cable modem. I had an Express as a relay station.
One day the Extreme stopped. Naturally, the WDS died. I played with the Extreme for a 1/2 day, but couldn't it too work. I made the Express into my sole Wifi base. Workable but not ideal, I now have dead zones in my house.
I finally found time to spend (waste) another day trying to get the Extreme working again. No luck. Some observations:
- the only useful advice I found to date, was to set the Extreme from automatic to a specific channel, the Extreme worked for about 20 mins. Strangely, my iBook couldn't find the signal, but my Dell PC could!
- I can get Internet access when use the LAN Ethernet outlet on the Extreme
- the centre status light is one, the LAN is on, the wireless is out
- Amazingly, at one point disconnected the LAN cable between the Extreme and my iBook, and launched the Airport Utility and it found the Extreme wirelessly!!!
- Not only that, but I could configure the Extreme wirelessly!!
- Yet during that time and after, the Extreme emitted no wireless signal - checked by Windows and Mac Laptop
- So if the hardware is emitting a signal that allows for configuration but not simple internet access, it is probably not a hardware problem and sure looks like a software problem, most likely between the OS and firmware.
- I have upgraded the Extreme to 5.7, many posts say go back to 5.5 but only a few claim this actually works.
- I am running Mac OS 10.3.9 on all my various Macs. Apple software updates are current.
This wave of posts reminds me of time when iBooks had a faulty motherboards. This looks like an easier fix, a firmware or software patch.
If anyone has a real solution, as opposed to an experimental one, I would appreciate it. Other posts recommend switching to more reliable third party hardware, I guess it might come to that.
Thanks.

Sounds like possible interference from a new neighbor's wireless network. Have you tried other wireless channels to see if you can find some clearer airspace?
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless Tab (below the icons)
Hold down the option key on your Mac as you click on the Channel selection box to see more choices.
You might also want to download a utility like Air Radar to display all of the visible networks in your area. Click on Scan at the lower right of the main window. Look for the channels that other networks are using and set your router to a channel that is as far away as possible.

Apple TV vs Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dual-Band)

I have an original 40 GB TV that connects to my new ( (latest model)) Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dual-Band) (MC340LL/A). Since upgrading to this new AEBS, my TV will not connect via its internal Airport card. The TV will "see" my "Home-LAN" but always gives the error message, "Connection Failed".
I have tried to Reset and Restore the TV, even the "Restore to Factory Defaults"! I have changed the security settings on my AEBS from an Open Network (no security) to WPA/WPA Personal, WPA Personal. I have changed the "Radio Mode" from "802.11a/n - 802.11b/g" to "802.11a - 802.11b/g". The TV will not connect! I now have it connected to my "Home_LAN" via Ethernet, and it works fine.
Anyone with a similar problem and a suggestion or solution? Do you think the internal Airport Card is the problem? Thanks

As suggested in another discussion area, (AirPort), I reset the AEBS to factory defaults. On the TV, I went to >Settings>General>Network>Configure Wireless>Wireless Networks. I could then see the generic "Apple Network xxxxx" on the TV. From my MacBookPro, I verified that I could connect to the TV by launching iTunes and noting that the TV was now visible in the "Devices" menu. Went back to the AEBS and ran through the "Setup" routine. I did NOT use the "Previous Settings" but instead, saved the old settings profile, created a new wireless network and new settings profile and enabled WPA2 Personal encryption. I then went back to the TV and went through the "Settings" routine again (as noted above). This time, after entering my WPA2 password, the TV connected to the network and problem was solved. Thanks.

What is Apple Airport Extreme ?

hello there,
i heared talely alote about Apple Airport Extreme and i tried to understand what it specifically do ,
if i bought it would it give me the ability to access the internet directly like any wireless modem ?
or i had to connect it to an actual modem just to extend the range ?

It's a wired and wireless router. It isn't a modem. A modem isn't a wireless extender; it enables a local network to be connected to the Internet.

Connecting our Xbox360 to our existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.

We have an existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station at home (connected to a Motorola brand Cable-DSL Modem). This wireless network works magnificently for our PowerBook and iBook... and even for the PC laptops a couple of our "friends" have brought over (and they have to work outside on the porch, since we don't let them in the house with those things).
We broke down and purchased the Xbox360 along with the Xbox360 Wireless Adapter, but I can't get it to connect to our network wirelessly. It connected automatically though, when I used the ethernet cable from the Xbox360 to the Airport Extreme Base Station's output port.
Our wireless network is hidden, and we'd really like to keep it that way for security reasons. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or do we have to sacrifice our network security just to be able to connect wirelessly... so we can get the latest version of that damm Bejeweled game... okay, and play games online... and get HD Movie Trailers that look amazing... I actually am excited about that part.

Thanks for the info iFelix. And wow, speedy too. You
must be a fast typer. (I'm just a Hunt-&-Peck kind of
guy.)
No not too fast I can cut and paste from my file of usual responses.
I'm not really "that" worried about security. We just
have a couple of those "nosey-neighbor" types living
close by, and they both work in I.T. I sound a little
paranoid, I know. But you'd understand if you met
these guys.
Use WPA and they won't be able to access your network even though they can see it.
So I should reset the Base Station to WPA?
Yes
Is that
the factory setting?
No
A guy I work with said I need to
reset the Base Station to "Factory Settings" to get
the Xbox360 to connect wirelessly. Is this true?
Yes, but then you would have no security!!!
And for the password, I shouln't use any real word(s)?
Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
Scan and Select your Airport
On the Airport Tab
Change Wireless Security
Use WPA Personal
Use a password like this:
4fghj8eybs9nf78swnu
Remember to write it down.
I would also change the Wireless Network Name as well, but this is not needed.
Click OK
Click Update
You will now be thrown off the wireless network.
Wait at least five minutes.
The from the Airport icon in the menu bar, select your network, you will be asked for your password, enter the password, check keep in Keychain (so your Mac will remember it).
That's it.
Don't worry about using anything else, WPA is pretty much uncrackable unless you use a dictionary word for a password such as "table".

Best usb hub for Apple Airport Extreme base station

Hi all does any one know which usb hub is the best to use with the apple airport extreme the 8.11n version?
Im aware i need a powered usb hub ideally im lookin for a 7 port hub and i think also its needs to be plug and play rather than needing a driver to be installed as this feature is not available on the router,
I read in another forum that the (macally usb hub) would work but wondering if anyone had any experience with this as i know some do not work fo ex. the one ive just bought and some are faster than others any info anyone has on this matter wi ll be greatly appreshed thanks in advanced

if i have a quicktime movie stored in the USB external hard drive and if i run that movie over the "connection" via the new airport extreme... would the movie by "choppy" or would it be as smooth as if the external hard-drive connected directly to computer?
Sorry, things like this are not possible to predict in advance since there are so many variables involved. But, your chances of a smooth connection will improve using "n" wireless speeds with the computer close to the wireless router.
I would not recommend trying to store images on a drive that is accessed only by wireless. My strong preference for any kind of video or image file storage is to have the drive hard wired to the computer and/or router.
