Can I connect a device to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme?

Can I connect an added device to my styetem to get added LAN ports for my Airport Extreme Router system?
Mark Edwards

Connect a Gigabit Ethernet switch to any of the 3 Ethenret ports on the AirPort Extreme to add as many ports as you need.
Switches come in 5-port, 8-port, 16-port, etc versions.
Your local computer/electronics superstore will have what you need.

  • HT5299 can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

    can i connect my sony smart TV via thunderbolt port for better resolution.

    You can connect the TV via the Thunderbolt port. However if the result is "better resolution" would depend on what resolution you have now (I'm guessing you mean with the HDMI adapter?)
    I'm myself connecting the Mini Mac with a Thunderbolt->VGA adapter to my TV and get full 1920x1080 resolution.
    Have you checked your Display settings? Make sure mirroring is off, then check what resolutions you can get on the current connection.
    Please return with some more data.

  • TA20713 Can I connect and IP Phone to the LAN port on Airport Express?

    I am having difficulty connecting my internet phone to the internet.  I have a Comcast Modem with only 1 ethernet port which is connected to the Airport Express.  We are using a secured wireless network and I do not have a way of entering a password or identifiying the network on the Internet Phone.  Will I be able to connect the phone to the LAN for Internet access or do I need something else?  Normally I would simply try this out, but we have an old Airport express as the primary wireless router and we'll need to re-work out in home network a bit to get the newer Airport closer to the phone.  I'd like to know if this is doable before we put all the effort in.  Thank you

    Can I connect my Xbox 360 to the Ethernet port on my fios box? I have a wireless connection right now but is slow and lags. For me to run an ether from the router it would have to be very very long and go the the kitchen. So I was wondering if I could get it via the Ethernet port on my box directly into my xbox
    The Ethernet port on the "fios box" (I assume you are referring to a DVR/STB) is not active.  However it's easy to use a MoCA adapter to get a direct connection if you have a working coax outlet.  Simply search "MoCA adapter" in the "Ask the Community" search box for details.  Also look here:

  • How can I connect multiple devices to Mac mini display port? I need to connect a Canon 5D to my Mac and display the result on a VGA video projector. I am using mini hdmi to mini display for the camera. Can I connect the VGA to any other port?

    Hi there I am connecting a Canon 5D to my laptop trying to use it as a webcam trough camtwist.
    At the same time I need to output the streaming to a videoprojector.
    The cam is connected to the mini display port do there is no port available for the VGA cable anymore.
    Do I need to use a different port for the projector? Should I buy a video card?
    Can't connect the camera via USB as that is too slow and it will freeze.
    Many thanks for all your help

  • Can I connect an external hard drive, with a FireWire connector to AirPort Extreme?

  • How can I connect to Internet when there is a Gigabyte switch after Airport Extreme?

    I have a new Airport Extreme Base station. I have a wired home network set up through out the house. After the Airport Extreme, I have two gigabyte switches. I can connect to the network after the switch, but not the internet. I have also purchased new switches just to make sure this was not the problem. I connected the cable that goes into the switch into my laptop and was able to connect, however after the switch I still cannot connect. Wireless work fine. I need the wired connection for my DirecTv, X-box, Sony Bluray, etc. If it helps I have Comcast with a Motorola SB6120 Modem.  Any suggestions as to how I can get connected?

    Hi - I have only dealt with one question like this - it was with a different modem but it also had the new hi-speed technology and they were trying to connect the base station like you are with a new gigabit switch - the bad news is that no matter how many resets and reboots and different brand switches and cables were used, it wouldn't work - I told them to contact both the modem and the switch manufacturers but I haven't heard the outcome - maybe one of the gurus will weigh in an fill in the blanks.

  • Can i connect to a HDD/printer on my Windows through my AirPort Extreme?

    I have a Windows XP running machine, and i was wondering if i could set my external hard disk/printer to my AirPort Extreme and then use it for storage/printing. Not only with files from my Mac, but also with files from my Windows.
    *My Windows is not a laptop, and is connected to the web through a kabel.*
    Is it possible, and how ?

    If the HDD is formatted HFS+ or FAT/FAT32, then yes. If the printer is one of those supported, then yes. You need to set up both devices via AirPort Utility. Check the setup guide to the Extreme.

  • Can we connect xbee to cfp2020 controller​s serial port for wireless communicat​ion

    hi,
        i wanna do data aqcuisition using ethernet as well as wireless technologies, for that i wanna use xbee with cpf 2020.   is it possible?
    thanks in advance

    You can do it fine..
    I am guessing the wireless modem is really a router as well. When you say wireless do you mean 3g internet or 4g internet or do you mean cable or adsl and a wireless modem router.?? It is just helpful to know what you are talking about by wireless modem or wireless internet.
    You have that plugged into ethernet over power (EOP) adapters .. that is great.
    Plugged into TV again that is fine.. although I am unclear what or how it is decoding.. is it IPTV??
    Now to your specific questions.
    Now, is it possible to
    a) connect the Time Capsule to the powerline, so it can act as an access point? When connected to this powerline (ethernet) I hope I won't loose speed to the wireless connection
    Yes, the TC needs to be bridged..
    Go to manual setup of the Airport utility.. click on the internet tab.. go to connection sharing on the bottom of that page.. select off bridge mode.. update the TC.
    Now you can plug the TC into the EOP adapter. And it will work as Wireless Access Point.. WAP or short AP.. and switch.
    Plug the TV into the TC as well.. that should all work fine.
    b) will I be able to connect my digital tv-decoder to the TC without any problems? So the TC is the decoder's "ethernet port"?
    Hope this is a bit clear, as English is not my mothertongue...
    IPTV can be complicated to setup and exactly how it works will depend on the main router.. sometimes IPTV is only delivered to a specific ethernet port.. in which case the above suggestion will not work.. you can use either internet or the TV.. not both..

    Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?)  Where is the PW for my Wi Fi? I am stymied. Can I set up through my MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

    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.

  • I can't use Time Machine with a USB drive plugged into an Airport Extreme.

    I connected an external drive to the USB port of an Airport Extreme, intending to use it with Time Machine and one of the laptops in the Wi-Fi network (call it Laptop). The drive is visible from the Disks tab of each computer’s Airport Utility but from nowhere else, in particular not to Laptop’s Time Machine preference.
    Laptop is relatively new and arrived with Mavericks. Time Machine used to work on Laptop before I upgraded the rest of the network (a desktop Mac Pro and another laptop) from OS X 10.6 to Mavericks.
    The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have tried other external hard drives, with the same behavior. The desktop correctly use Time Machine to back up its internal drive to another internal drive. Another possibly relevant factor is that our DSL connection has recently been upgraded, and now uses a 2Wire modem that provides its own router, so Airport Utility’s Network Router Mode is set to “Off (Bridge Mode)”.
    I would be grateful for suggestions of what to try next.

  • Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

    Is there a device that I can plug into my iPad to get a USB port?

    Not really, no. The Camera Connection Kit has a USB port for the purpose of importing photos from USB flash drives, and some developers have written apps that can use that port for other purposes, but it doesn't give you a general-purpose USB port as would be present on a standard computer.
    What is it you wish to connect to your iPad?

    Can I connect window device like modem, mobile in oracle forms,if possible then how?

    Hi Tony,
    So explain where you would see your notification?I just mention, Leave module, there are many other module. For example In Purchase Purchase Requigition , Production Module Production Complite , Delivery Module Delivery Ready.
    For this it will better to show at respective Menu.
    In the Window title?Another good Idea !
    You could have a timer trigger that runs every 5 minutes and checks a notification table, if there is an unacknowledged notifcation, then you could change the Window title of the formas app to show a (1) at then end of it.Timer has a bad this.. For example, if i make a timer and run every 5 min. then if user works on a form, timer will hide the form and show the timer window.
    Isn't it ?
    Would that do, or do you need more?Yea.. More..It will be like facebook. If any notified work is done by any person, light will go off.
    Thanks for your interest and suggestion...

    Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.
