Attaching a Drobo to Airport Extreme; Will it Recognize greater than 2TB?

I'm thinking of picking up a second Drobo and attaching it to my AEBS as a general Time Machine target for all my computers. Does anyone know of any problems with recognizing > 2TB?

i have a 8TB (5.6TB in RAID5) NAS connected to my TC and it is recognized just fine.

  • I have a 2008 airport extreme, will I get greater range with the new version?

    I have a 2008 airport extreme, will I get greater range with the new version of the airport extreme?

    I have had both models, and frankly notice little if any difference in range, likely because the broadcast power of wireless routers is set by law, and just about every router is running at 100%.
    The dual band feature of the newer model will allow devices that are in close proximity to connect using the 5 GHz band, which runs 2-3 times faster than the 2.4 GHz band.
    If you need greater range, you will likely do better by adding something like an AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless signal for greater reach.....rather than simply replacing one AirPort Extreme with another.
    Another option....if you opt for the new AirPort Extreme....would be to use it as your "main" base station and use the older Extreme to "extend" the wireless signal.

  • My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

    My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

    I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme.  The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine.  I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

  • External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

    External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

    Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
    Does the drive now appear in finder..
    If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
    If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

  • My Airport Extreme will no longer let new user connect

    The Airport Extreme will not allow new users to connect to via wifi. The users that are currently on the wifi are able to continue using the wifi, but new users cannot connect. I have tried resetting to the factory settings. But the problem has returned. I have a model A1408.

    Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).

  • Airport Extreme will not secure wi-fi signal

    I just had my AT&T DSL service activated, and I am trying to secure the wi-fi network using Airport Utility 6.2. My Airport Extreme is broadcasting the unsecured signal but I am completely unable to secure it.
    Modem and router are hooked up correctly. I have to configure the base station for the unsecured signal to begin broadcasting. If I cancel the configure, the signal goes away completely.
    So I configure the base station again, and I'm presented with a screen that reads "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and am presented with four fields: Network Name, Base Station Name, Password and Verify.
    I enter a password and verify it, and am then given a screen to "Provide my PPPoE information I received from my ISP." I do that, and it spins for about a minute and says I am connected to the network I created. Except there is no wifi signal and no connection.
    It has been like this for four days now. I am at my wit's end. ATT insists that the problem is not on their end. Any help anyone can give is appreciated. Thanks.

    So to be clear - you have a DSL modem from AT&T, and want your Airport Extreme to broadcast this signal as well as route it?
    You say you hooked up the modem and router correctly, are you able to get connection when plugging into the LAN port on the Airport Extreme?

  • If I turn off AirPort Extreme will it loose it's settings?

    I am a bit worried about the issue of radio signals and cancer. I want to turn it off during the night, but will it lose it's settings?

    THe AirPort Extreme will not lose its network settings if you turn it off at night.
    As far as potential issues, you are picking up far more radiation from cordless phones, cell phone towers, radio and television signals, aircraft, police and emergency signals, overhead electrical wires, the AC wiring in your home, and countless other sources.
    WiFi would be the least of your worries compared to other sources of constant daily RF radiation.

  • My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

    My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.  I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

    That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

  • Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved!

    Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved... At least for me!
    Here's what I had to do to make it work with the newest 7.3.1 firmware.
    Ready for this? No Joke Really!
    1. Connect your USB drive to the Airport Extreme.
    2. Turn it on.
    3. Open the Airport Utility.
    4. Go to Manual Setup.
    5. Choose Disks and File Sharing.
    Yep, we are going to set file sharing before we even see the disk we want to share!
    You (I) had to set File Sharing on and Share Disks over Ethernet checked as well as set the Work Group (In my case). THEN restart the Airport Extreme.
    After it re-started... My USB Drive was now present and ready for use.
    I also dis-allowed Guest access. I re-started ALL computers in my network, both Windows and MAC. The USB drive held and works GREAT!
    I know... Most of you thought this was a joke, It's not!
    I tried everything to get the USB drive to work and failed every time just like most other people. Doing it this way worked like a charm.
    Go Figure huh!
    Hope this helps someone with this issue.

  • Airport Extreme no longer recognizes my Express when I try to password protect the network

    When I try to protect my network with a password, my airport extreme no longer recognizes my airport express.  How can I fix this so I can connect my network and still use my network for airtunes??

    I think the initial problem is that your iPhone was connected to an open network that wasn't yours.
    Go to Settings > WiFi and "Forget" the network created by that AirPort Extreme, it's older than dirt. Forget your neighbor's network also.
    Perform the equivalent actions with your Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... Delete every network that appears, including your own.
    Then, connect to your own network on all your devices, after which you ought to be able to use any of them and configure your Extreme without any difficulty. You may need to start over with a "hard reset" on both the main AirPort Extreme and the one extending its network.
    Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?
    Not exactly, but using iCloud Keychain will populate all your devices with the names of preferred networks that any of them connect to, no matter where they are. I don't know why Apple considers that a beneficial feature.

  • Airport Extreme won't recognize external hard drive

    Hi everyone,
    I've searched and search and tried everything, but my airport extreme refuses to recognize my external harddrive. I'm wanting to set it up so my time machine so it will back up automatically - basically a poor student's version of a time capsule. Please - I'm getting desperate - nothing I've found on-line has helped. Thanks!!!

    I have just completed hooking up my airport extreme to my seagate external drive. I have the newer version mb763lla airport. After hooking everything up, I created a homebase network, and Initially my two windows computers would not recognize the drive, in my computer. I plugged a usb jump drive in to the router to check if the router required drives to be formatted fat32 and the jump drive worked, jump drives are formatted to fat32, so I knew my problem was the format of external drive. Then I knew I needed to format my drive to fat32, so I looked around the internet trying to find the best way to do so. What I discovered is that if you go to the website of your external drive, they generally have software to help you format your drive. Seagate has discwizard, and I noticed Western Digital has some too. I choose to format my drive with two partitions one fat32 and one ntfs. I was under the impression from some of the websites I visited that I would have problems with vista & fat32, so I used a windows xp computer to run the format software from seagate. I plugged the usb external 320gb freeagent seagate hard drive directly into the xp computer, to format it. After running the software I restarted my computer, and the drive worked, and I could now find the drive on both my xp and my vista computers. It did assign different drives, on the xp the drive is called y: on the vista the drive is called z: . Both computers can write or read to the fat32 partition of the drive.

  • Airport Extreme refusing to accept more than 7 clients

    Our airport extreme (7.2.1) used to be happy with at least 11 clients. Four people in our office now own iPhones. When all four iPhone owners are in the office, not only are they unable to connect to the airport extreme, but some Macs are also unable to connect. Our airport extreme refuses to accept more than 7 clients. The logs in AirPort Utility don't show anything related to client refusals. All but one of the Macs are on Tiger - the other is running Leopard.
    Any thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks
    Paul

    It is the extreme, my mistake in the previous post.

  • MSI MS-7200 945G Express will not recognize more than 3 GB

    Hello, I just got the MSI board with the Intel 945G chipset, I put in 4x1 GB sticks of RAM, but the BIOS and Windows will not recognize more than 3 GB even though in the specs it says it supports 4 GB. When I use 3 Sticks, the RAM the BIOS displays is 3072MB, with 4 sticks, it displays 3196 MB. I upgraded to the latest BIOS and drivers. Am I missing something? or is this the way it supposed to be?
    Thanks

    You need to use XP 64 bit to have it recognize more than 3-3.5 gigs.
    Windows xp home and pro are 32 bit limited.  They can see only 3.5 gigs even though you really have 4.  You also will only be able to allocate a max of 2 gigs per process in windows xp home and xp pro.
    To beable to see 4 gigs, and alocate more than 2 gigs per proccess you have to run a 64 bit OS. IE windows xp pro 64bit version or windows server 2003 64 bit version.(same thing).

  • Can Drobo off Airport Extreme be used as time Machine disk?

    I have my Drobo hung off my Airport extreme so both my powerbook and iMac can access files off it. I would like to choose it as my backup disc for Time Machine but it is not seeing it when I try and point it at it.

    backups to NAS devices are not officially supported. the only exception is Time Capsule and it also works with drives directly attached (via USB) to AEBS. anything else is unsupported. you can try the following hack but you do it at your own risk and with no guarantees of success or assurance that this ability will not be broken by some future update from apple
