Can an Airport Extreme redistribute a network trough ethernet?

I'm trying to configure my home network but I enconter a small problem. I'm not sure the configuration I'm aiming for is even possible. I'm trying to make my airport join my wireless network and then share the network with a device trough ethernet. This seemed like a straightfoward process but for some reason I don't have a network on the device, so something must be wrong in the setting or is it simply impossible. (For a more visual approach look at the picture) Thanks

That's what I was going to suggest... selecting "Extend a wireless network". That will put it in bridge mode. I'm not sure if your base router can know that the network is extended through the airport. It seems to me that it would just see your airport as a connected wireless device that is transmitting data through it? I would give it a try. I'm not aware of any configuration changes that you would have to make to your base router.
Just trying to help a bit. I think an airport express would do exactly what you want. I know they are a $100, but if all else fails, that might be your best option.

    If you could provide the make and model number of the modem that the AirPort Extreme will be connecting to, we can likely tell you a bit more about what to expect in the way of getting the AirPort set up and working.
    Unfortunately, "plug and play" does not apply here. You will need to set up and configure the AirPort Extreme using your iPad or iMac to name the AirPort as a device, assign a device password, name the wireless network, assign a device password and a few other things.
    Once the AirPort Extreme is set up, you can connect the PC to one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme using an Etherent cable.
    The iPad and iMac will connect to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides.

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

    Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station set up as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

    No. The AirPort cannot extend another AirPort's wireless network and simultaneously broadcast its own wireless network.
    It can however, be connected to another router (including another AirPort) by Ethernet, and then, be configured to broadcast a wireless network with another Network Name and Security Type.

    Q: Can I use my older Airport Express-g router (not -n) to extend my Airport Extreme-n wireless network? If Yes, Are the instructions the same as for adding an Airport Express-n router?

    If you want to extend, using wireless only, the 802.11g Express doesn't support this.
    However, if you want to use bridge mode over Ethernet or Powerline adapters then this is supported.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme work as an extender?

    Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender? (I have tried to research this online, of course, but I haven't had much luck.)
    Background: The only option from our ISP is a router/modem combination. It used to be plugged directly into my dad's (Dell and Windows) desktop computer, but I was having trouble connecting all my devices wirelessly. So, I moved it into the kitchen and plugged it into the phone line (we have AT&amp;T DSL) and got a USB wireless adapter for my dad's computer (because he didn't think he needed the wireless option on his "fancy" new Dell). I also have a different brand of adapter plugged into my old iMac G3, which I LOVE using.
    Since doing this, my dad has constantly complained of his Internet not working correctly, things loading slowly, and having trouble connecting at all. (Full disclosure: he STILL uses the complete desktop version of AOL and refuses to give it up.) However, I've had no trouble on ANY of my devices--the G3, my white MacBook, my iPad, my iPod, or my mom's Kindle Fire. This leads me to believe the problem lies in the fact that he's using AOL because I usually don't have trouble when I briefly use Chrome on his desktop.
    I've tried finding different solutions, including flashing an old router to use an extender and researching different extenders and bridges and such, but nothing looks like a viable solution because of all our components.
    I'm wondering if the AirPort Extreme (probably the A1143;or any of the other AirPort devices) can work as an extender. To appease my dad, it'd be best to take the modem/router back to his man cave so he can hook it back up to his computer, but I'm not sure if the AirPort can pick up the wireless signal and perhaps be plugged directly into my G3 and otherwise act as an extender for my other devices (while searching for an Internet solution for my G3, I read on here that someone did this, but there was no further information on how it worked) or if I can plug it into the kitchen phone line and keep the USB adapter for the G3 and have wireless access to all my other things.
    Help?
    (I can't find the original support article where a responder mentioned using the AirPort station with an iMac G3, but i did locate this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13080786#13080786)
    (My iMac is one of the later ones. It's running 10.4.1 and is a 600MHz model.)

    Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender?
    Simple answer: Yes....IF....the AirPort Extreme is extending a wireless network that is being provided by another Apple 802.11n wireless router.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that it will take a minimum of two Apple 802.11n wireless routers to extend a signal wirelessly.
    The more complex answer involves distances and obstructions involved in the setup, or alternate solutions such as running Ethernet cabling or using Ethernet powerline adapters.

    Sounds more like an issue with your router and
    network than a problem with AEBS.
    Which router?
    I certainly do not need to reboot my AEBS like that,
    I think I have rebooted it once in two years!
    I would start a new thread describing your network in
    more detail and the issues with the AEBS.
    Thank you, but my diagnosis is the result of many days
    of experiment with about hundreds of users. It's a bug,
    I know were it is. It was reported to Apple in september
    (2005).
    It isn't that easy to upgrade at the same time all the
    wireless (802.11b and 802.11g) that do have to interoperate
    smoothly within the same space.
    I don't think anyone need to waste more time on these
    bugged firmware versions (5.6 & 5.7) as I already explained
    it. They work smoothly just in a limited environment
    which they were conceived for: one Mac connected to one
    AEBS connected to one FAI.
    You can't recommand these version to colleagues who have
    to live in a real world with other wireless equipment
    (a Mac not updated, an ABS not updated,
    a Cisco wireless card emitting to 100 mW and smashing all
    the neibourhood, a pre 802.11g+ card using 2 channels at
    the same time...).

  • Can an airport extreme be used as an airport express?

    Can an airport extreme be used as an airport express?

    With the newer extreme, I was looking for better coverage
    In theory, you might expect better performance. Apple added two additional antennas and moved them up to the top of the "tower" in the "new" Extreme.
    But my "new" Extreme really performs about the same as the previous version Extreme. It might be a bit better range wise, but nothing significant here. If you are looking for really noticeable improvement, you will likely be disappointed.
    just want to know if the old extreme can funciton as an express to extend the signal to another part of the house
    Yes, it can, but in order to do this effectively, it must be located where it can receive a strong signal to be able to extend it. In this regard, the device can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    You lose a portion of the network speed with each device that you use to extend wirelessly, so adding another device to extend wirelessly may not help at all.  It would be much better if you could connect the "new" Extreme and "old" Extreme together using a wired Ethernet cable.....since there is no signal loss that way.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme support more than one printer at a time?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?
    Yes.....IF.....you use a powered USB hub.
    I have had 3 printers connected at the same time in the past and assume that more would work as long you have a powered hub to support the number of ports that you need.

  • HT4145 Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

    Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

    I assume that all of your WAPs are hard wired on the network.
    If.....all of your WAPs are simultaneous dual band Apple AirPort devices like an AirPort Extreme or new AirPort Express.....and.....you have firmware version 7.6.3 (now 7.6.4) installed on all the AirPorts.....and.....you use AirPort Utility 6.3.1 to configure the devices......in theory.....it should work.
    I don't have 6 WAPs, but I do have 3 and the network works perfectly allowing extension of both the "main" and "guest" network.

  • Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is extending the wireless signal produced by another Apple router. The Express cannot wirelessly extend a network produced by a non-Apple router.
    In addition to extending the network and connecting a printer, AirPlay can also be enabled on the AirPort Express, with all services operating simultaneously.
    Please note that only the print function will work if you connect an All-in-One type device to the USB port on the Express. Advanced features like copy, scan, mainentance, etc are not supported when an All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.

    So you agree to the lose of the Airport Express removal has caused me to lose enough of a signal to make the Internet...
    Sorry but I'm not sure what this long run-on sentence is trying to say.
    You asked if the network could be wirelessly extended and that is what I replied to.

  • Connect Airport Extreme to existing router without ethernet cable

    I am looking to connect my Airport Extreme to an existing router without the use of the ethernet cable.  The existing router is on the ground floor whilst I would like to install the Airport Extreme in the first floor to improve WiFi range on the 1st floor.  I am able to connect Airport Extreme to the router with the ethernet cable (in which case both the devices have to be close to one another on the ground floor) but unable to get Airport Extreme set up without the ethernet cable.  Is it possible to connect Airport Extreme to the existing router on a non-wired basis (i.e. without the ethernet cable) and if yes, how would be I able to do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The AirPort Extreme can connect wirelessly.....IF.....your existing router is also another Apple router.
    Is that the case here?  If yes, what model number is your existing Apple router?
    If no, you will need to continue to connect the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.

  • Lost connection between airport time capsule and extreme, can't get extreme back in network, says connection excellent

    I have 2 terabyte Time capsule, last gen, not newest.  I have a similar airport extreme to extend my network.  I was running Lion.  I upgraded to Maverick to see if it would fix this problem, and it did not.  When using airport utility, latest version, it says that the extreme has an excellent connection, but fails to extend the network. This started the last time I upgraded Lion.  I have tried rebooting, renaming the extreme to no avail.  I moved it to the same room as the time capsule, no luck.

    Hello Thomas,
    You may want to try performing a factory reset on the AirPort Extreme.
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

  • HT4260 Can an Airport Extreme be used to form a roaming network with Time Capsule?

    I tried the on-line instructions  above to extend my Wi-Fi network with a roaming network but the graphics in the instrucions apparently show an earlier version of Airport Utility. Following the intent of the instructions, e.g., ethernet cable connection ports, etc., all I have achieved is a yellow flashing light on Airport Extreme. Airport Extreme has been reset to factory settings but it is not seen by the network.
    Do I have it backward, for example, should the Airport Extreme be the base station and the TIme Capsule be the extended station?
    What do you think I am doing wrong? Or, is this an impossible extension?
    Thanks, Chad

    Suggest that you use the much more functional and useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which was released at the same time as AirPort Utility 6.0.
    Keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want.
