ATT 4111 Router and Apple AE Base Station

How do I set up my ATT 4111N Router to work with my AirPort Extreme Base?

Items that can cause interference with airport are:
Microwave ovens
DSS
Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 GHZ range
Adjacent base stations using nearby channels.
Any new electronic equipment been added recently? Could be a neighbor's equipment as well.
Lastly, do you have the most recent AE firmware installed?

Along with the most recent version of Airfoil and iTunes?

  • HT4145 Can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station

    Hi All,
    need advise on whether can I link up a Dlink wireless router to a Airport Base Station and if can how do I set it up.
    with regards and thank you
    Chris

    If your goal is to either extend the D-Link's Wi-Fi network with the AirPort or the other way around, then the answer is no. That is because, most non-Apple routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts.

  • How can I tell if my computer (2x2.26 Quad Core Xeon MAC Pro) and my Airport Base station(Airport Extreme 1Tb Time Capsule) are Gigabit compatible?

    All Mac Pro's ever made have shipped with gigabit ethernet.  The last non-gigabit tower desktop Apple made was the very first generation PowerMac G4's back in 1999.
    Similarly, all Time Capsules have been gigabit ethernet as well - never been one that was not.

  • Are there any faster wireless routers compared to the Apple Extreme Base Station?

    Are there any faster wireless routers compared to the Apple Extreme Base Station?

    The speed of wireless is limited by the technology. If you are using 802.11n wireless at 5 GHz, and assuming you have a strong connection, the speed will approach the 270-300 Mbps range. Other routers will achieve similar results if they have 5 GHz capability.
    As far an ethernet connection is concerned, the Gigabit ethernet ports on the AirPort Exteme will provide top performance, along with other routers that have Gigabit etherent ports.

  • Do I need an 'apple airport base station' to use the internet on my macbook?

    I'm considering getting a refurbished Macbook Air next week, which will be my first Mac computer ever, and I was watching some of the introduction videos.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#wirelessbasics
    'Wireless Basics' - At about 0:55 seconds in, it says something about needing what sounds like an 'apple airport base station' to connect my Macbook to the internet here in my home. I currently have an HP laptop that easily connects to our Wi-Fi. I actually need some additional 'apple airport base station' thing to connect to the internet? I can't just connect like our Wi-Fi PC laptops do? Tell me I'm hearing this wrong, because I can't afford some additional 'base station' on top of an expensive Macbook, refurbished or not.

    Any WiFI basestation should work but there are two caveats. First, configuring non-Apple basestations is more confusing for newbs than the AirPort is. Second, upgrading firmware can be a real pain for some 3rd party bases - they don't tend to let users know the updates exist and many require a PC to install.

  • All 9 Apple AE Base Stations Dying and need restart

    Hiyall,
    I do tech work for a school and we have a problem with all 9 of our Airport Extreme base stations disappearing off the network. Its like they don't exist. The cannot be seen wirelessly or via ethernet using the Airport admin utility. They won't even respond to a ping. Its driving everyone nuts. I only work there a couple of hours a fortnight so I don't yet know if all the base stations die at once or one by one but when I was there last week they were all dead. If you restart them they seem to work fine for some random amount of time before requiring a restart. This goes on all day.
    The network was running fine and then recently we purchased 10 new ibooks and took the opportunity to upgrade all computers to 10.4.7. We immediately started having problems. We have about 30 iBooks and a few windows laptops. The problems occur even when only a few laptops are logged in. The base station firmware is currently 5.7 but we had the problem with 5.6.
    I cannot think of anything that could kill off all our base stations and I'm all out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    After further investigation it would appear that the base station dies that is being used rather than just random drop offs. I guess after each unit dies the laptops are restarted and start using another base station and kill it and so on until they are all dead.
    Interesting when I did a test with a class yesterday that everything worked fine for the 30 mins we logged in. It wasn't until we logged out and shut down the laptops that the base station dropped off the network and required a restart. Can't see the logic in this.

  • How can I reconfigure an Airport Timecapsule and Airport Extreme Base Station to extend a new Time Capsule 3TB network.

    Previously they were configured to be part of a network attached to a cable modem.  Now I have a DSL modem.  I can get the 3TB Time Capsule tower to be recognized by my AirPort Utility but cannot get the older 2TB Time Capsule and Extreme Base Station to be recognised as wifi extensions of the 3TB Wi-Fi Base Station.     This latter base station is set up in Bridge mode and the wifi is switched off on the DSL Modem.     I am trying to recreate a home network (I have created a newly named one) and use the Apple products as the wifi routers, leaving the fibre optic-supplied DSL modem to interface with the internet.
    I would have thought that I should set-up the 3TB Time Capsule Base Station in DHCP network mode, but trying to do so gives me error messages and renders the network inoperative.   Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the AirPort utility to recognise the two other devices (Base Stations) as extensions of the main one?    I have tried with RJ45 cabel connections to no avail.

    First, it would be wise to update your computer to OS X Mavericks. It's just a free update, but it really helps your computer.
    Once you've done that, on to the fix.
    In Airport Utility, select the old router and click "edit". Click the Wireless tab. Select Off. Click Update, and wait. During the update, you should use your phone to read this, as you may have no wireless for a time.
    Once the update is done, click the new Time Capsule and click "edit". Select the wireless tab, and change the Network Mode to "Create a Wireless Network". Choose your name, security and password. Click Update. Once the new Time Capsule is plugged in and wired, you should be able to connect to your network from your laptop.
    Back on the old Time Capsule, go to the Wireless Tab and select, "Extend a Wireless Network". Select your network, and click update.
    On the Airport Extreme, do the same as the old Time Capsule.
    You should be done! Now, you can move your old Time Capsule somewhere else as use it as an extention of your network. And the same with the Airport Extreme. Enjoy your 5TB of network storage!

  • Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

    Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
    I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
    I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
    Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
    My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
    Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
    Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
    Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
    Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Felipe

    Well here is an update.
    I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
    Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
    thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
    Bye.

  • Wireless connection to internet with mac pro tower and airport extreme base station?

    Hi, I have an airport extreme base station and a mac pro tower without a airport card. My internet wireless router is a great distance from my computer so I can't connect the base station directly to the router. I've attached the airport extreme base station to the tower via an ethernet cable, the base station seems to be wirelessly connected to the home network but the browser is showing "not connected".
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Shouldn't the Airport base station be able to connect to it wirelessly?
    It might be possible, but the Ethernet ports on the AirPort Extreme would not be enabled, even if it did connect to the Thompson' WiFi signal.
    As Tesserax notes, among the Apple routers, only the 802.11n versions of the AirPort Express have the capability to "join" a wireless network with the Ethernet port being enabled.

  • Extend Range of Belkin Wireless Router with Airport Express Base Station

    I would like to know if I can extend the range of my Belkin N1 Wireless Router using the the Apple Airport Express Base Station?
    If so, can someone help me to find out which settings/configuration I need to set of my Router and Airport Express in order the extend the range of my network.
    Thank you in advance for your support.

    DLink Xtreme wireless N cabled to the Time Capsule 1TB - Simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi. In addition to extending wireless range, would this also allow me to connect cabled devices to the Airport? In essence, increasing the number of cable ports available on the network?
    Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the D-Link router to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule.
    Configure the Time Capsule as a "bridge" to use the exact same wireless network name, exact security and password as the D-Link router and you will in effect, have one large wireless network. Computers will be able to "roam" from one area to another and they will automatically connect to the router with the strongest signal.
    The ethernet ports on the Time Capsule would be active and operate exactly the same as the LAN ports on the D-Link. Computers could plug into either router for an ethernet connection.
    The toughest challenge in this type of configuration with routers from two different manufacturers is that they typically use different names for security types. If the security settings between the two routers do not match exactly, you won't have one network, you'll have two, each requiring a separate log on.
    Check the configuration pages on the D-Link to see what type of security it is configured to use. Hopefully, it is +WPA2 Personal+, since that is the most compatible type of security among devices. Or +WPA/WPA2 Personal+ would work.
    If the D-Link does not use this type of security, what is it using now? What are the other WPA associated settings that are available? We need to know this in order to provide you with the correct step by step configuration.
    Post back with your questions and findings.

  • Intermittent connection between iBook and Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have a friend with an iBook set up with the Airport Extreme system, they also have a Denon stereo that it is playing through. However, when the music is playing, it keeps cutting out every 5-10 seconds and is intermittent. On other occasions, when the router & base station is left switched on, it plays fine. Does anyone have a reason for this intermittent playing, and a possible solution? Many thanks,

    Check out this Apple article to see if it will help.

  • Configure TC and Airport Extreme Base Stations with different channels

    I had to do some serious workarounds to use the Airport Extreme Base Stations as an access point with the same wireless network name primarily due to channel overlap.  I thought I would post my results here since I didnt' find a good article online.
    Also, I found the Snow Leopard verison (5.4.2) of the Airport Setup Utility far superior to Lion's Airport Utility (6.x) in terms of advanced setup. 
    Setup is a 3 flloor house where the 3 wired network locations have wireless overlap.  The problem was that the access points would not hand off the wireless signal because the channels for each airport/TC were automatically set to the same channel.  In non-apple setups, this is how you force a wireless client to switch access points (since the wireless software on your client/mac/windows can detect which access point is stronger and moves to the alternate channel.
    Using apple's "Extend this wireless network" option removes any ability to manually configure wireless channels.  I am writing this from memory, so feel free to ask questions and I will track this topic:
    Procedure
    Setup time capsule as your base station.  Do all the setup for your wireless and guest networks.  Manually configure the network and change the wireless channel to a specific channel for a/b/g networks (e.g., 3) and n networks (e.g, 167).
    Plug your first airport extreme/access point into your wired network.  Do not plug it into the "internet" ethernet plug, use one of the 3 ethernet switch locations
    Use the airport utility to first configure it to "extend" your wired network. 
    Then, go in and reconfigure it manually in the airport utility.  Choose the option to setup a "new network" and name the network the same as the TC wireless network name, security, etc.
    Change the channel from "auto" to a different channel than the TC (e.g., 6 and 137). 
    Now go to the top tab and click on the "internet" icon
    Go to the DHCP tab and change it to "bridge mode."  This will tell the AE to not give out IP addresses (the TC will do this for you).  If you get an error that the IP ranges conflict, you have not done this
    Note that if you have a guest network setup, you will need to set this up on the AE as well. 
    Now test your airport setup.  Take your client (macbook, iOS device) and connect to your network.  Move to a spot near the TC and pull up a web page.  Keep an eye on the signal strength and beginv moving toward the AE.  Refresh the page as you move around.  You should at some point see the signal strength increase.  Refresh your page again.  You should be now connected to to the AE.  I have found that Macbooks do a better job than iOS devices because you get an extra signal bar to measure strength, and they have larger antennas which allows you to better measure problems with handoff
    Another test you can do is to start backing up on your TC and then test the move.  The handoff will truly show you that the TC is handling the process but the AE is relaying to the TC for backup.
    If you need to setup another AE, simply follow setups 3-10.
    I hope this helps others.  I've done this setup 100 times on Linksys devices and although they are cumbersome, they at least allow me to do this setup much more quickly and easily than the apple products.

  • Disabling ipv6 in iOS 8 and/or Airport base station

    I recently replaced my iPhone 4 running iOS 7 with an iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2.  The iPhone 4 never had any problem accessing wifi, whether at home, at work, or at various other locations.
    Ever since getting the iPhone 6 I've been unable to get the wifi to work properly while at home using the wireless net work run from my Time Capsule.  It works fine if I connect to a Verizon FiOS wireless router.  It works fine at work (Cisco wifi gear, I believe).  It works fine at places like Starbucks, etc.  It only appears to have issues with connecting to the Time Capsule.  When I connect the phone to my Time Capsule I get a strong wifi signal, it's just that anything internet related times out after a long period of time.  I'm completely unable to access anything whether in Safari, Mail, or anything else.
    I've searched the forums, Google, etc. for help and I've tried re-installing iOS, resetting my wireless network settings, disabling wifi location services, etc. but none of that has helped.  It just occurred to me that one big difference between the Time Capsule and most (if not all) of the other wifi access points I'm able to successfully connect to is that the Time Capsule and the iPhone appear to enable ipv6 by default.  I'm wondering if the iPhone is trying to establish an ipv6 connection through the Time Capsule.  That could certainly explain why all internet access just times out on my iPhone when connected to the Time Capsule.
    So as a test, is there any way to completely disable ipv6 on either the Airport/Time Capsule and/or on the iPhone itself?  I would love to be able to test this theory out.

    This is exactly my point!
    Looking at the structure of your network in your post the gigabit wired computers can speak to each other at gigabit speeds but a gigabit wired computer CANNOT speak to an AppleTV through the Wireless 'n' Router at wireless 'n' speeds UNLESS the router has gigabit capable ports.
    I can't find one that has, so the maximum speed of transmission of data from a wired computer with iTunes through the wireless 'n' router to a wireless 'n' AppleTV can only be as fast as the ports on the router which is 10/100 mbps which is far below the speeds capable over wireless 'n'.
    To put it simply the only way to get wireless 'n' speed transmissions to AppleTV is to feed the data to the base station using wireless 'n' because a wired connection just isn't fast enough (even if the computer has a gigabit ethernet port and is connected to a gigabit switch) because the 10/100 mbps ethernet ports on the base station are a major bottleneck!
    I can't believe they didn't think of this!!!

  • Leopard iChat 4 Issues - Breaks Apple Extreme Base Station Connection

    I recently upgraded to Leopard (now running 10.5.1) and I'm having major issues with iChat 4. iChat worked fine using Tiger. I can successfully audio chat, screen share, text and use all other functionality of iChat, but video chatting always locks up.
    When starting a video chat, it usually lasts anywhere from 2 to 12 seconds and then locks completely. Not only does the chat stop working, but my Airport Extreme Base Station stops working as well. I lose all internet connectivity. I still get the green light like everything is fine with the router, but my network connection is completely broken. I can't even log into the base station using the airport utility. I have to unplug it to get it working again. In iChat I always get the error that says something like "there was no traffic for 10 seconds".
    I have tried changing bandwidth settings in iChat and Quicktime. I have tried deleting cache files. I have tried deleting plist files and nothing corrects the issue.
    I see that other folks have had similar problems, but noone else is using Airport Base Station as far as I can tell and noone seems to have issues the their router not working after iChat locks.
    When I upgraded to Leopard, I did a clean install and then imported settings and files from tiger on a backup drive. Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    I would make sure the Mac Firewall is On and iChat allowed.
    iChatAgent should appear later.
    If it was set before the 10.5.1 update I would set it to Allow All then reset the Specific apps after deleting the ones there already.
