Can i connect a new airport extreme wirelessly to an existing airport extreme to extend range? if so, how?

My mother has an airport extreme hardwired to a modem for wireless connection in her home.  she is trying to get a wireless connection in her shop, about 250 away and i was wondering if i can use another airport extreme wirelessly to connect to the wired extreme to extend the range

And, by clear line of sight Bob means nothing between the two but air space. Windows, walls, trees, bushes, etc. all act to attenuate the signal substantially, thus reducing the effective range.
If you are willing to spend lots of money you can purchase amplifiers that can extend the range. Check this out at QuickerTek.com.

    Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

    Do the usual wireless things.
    Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
    Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
    For testing take off the security altogether.
    The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.

  • Can you connect an iMac to a Lynksys router without an airport express

    can you connect an iMac to a Lynksys router without an airport express or base? I tried running it from cable>modem> wireless router and it doesn't sling to the iMac. The airport card in the Mac does seem to be on, and there is a network connection set up. It's an intel iMac7,1. I'm not familiar with Mac, I'm trying to help out a friend.
    At my house I have the same configuration going  from my PC to an old Mac laptop and it works fine.
    I think my friend had her wifi network set up properly, or it wouldn't be showing in the list of networks when I check.
    the router is a Lynksys WRT160N V3.
    Oh, and if I do run her computer trying to use the wireless, I don't get an internet connection at all. I have to have it hardwired straight to the modem.
    Sorry I've asked this twice, but I haven't had any luck. I must just not know where to find things on the Mac. I did try other places in forum before posting again.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    We don't know a thing about your iMac or what version of OS X it's running so it's very difficult to help you. Please note that information and also please complete your profile, then that infomation will be listed when you post in your next thread. You can complete your profile by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

    If you mean does the network appear on the Mac when I look for it, then yes.
    I think my friend had her wifi network set up properly, or it wouldn't be showing in the list of networks when I check.
    the router is a Lynksys WRT160N V3.
    I don't think she has the security code so I can check what's actually hooked up (the network name on screen at least appears to be locked). She's had the computer out to the shop and back recently and has never even run anything off the wireless.
    I have a feeling I'm going to have to call her cable provider to sort it out. I'm hoping to avoid that. I don't know Mac at all. I could troubleshoot on my PC.
    Ultimately, I want to be able to hook a Roku box to her TV to run Netflix.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

    Try these settings  on Advanced Wireless
    settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
    Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304. and Upload the same firmware on the router once again.

  • Can I connect my new Intel Core i7 27" to a fax line

    Can I connect my new imac 27" Intel Core i7 to a telephone line to send and recieve faxes?  Help says I can; Network prefs show Internal Modem (with handset picture) Not Connected ;  the is no phone jack connector on the computer.  Have OS  X 10.8.2.  Internet connection through a router and modem works.

    By the way, there are literally hundreds of online fax services, some of them quite reasonable in prices. I have to tell you that faxes have become antiquated for business purposes. If you have a scanner, emailing a pdf file is easier to read. But if you just must fax it, just scan it, then you can use an online fax company.
    I have to admit that I'm in business, and I have a fax machine that I haven't used in 2 years. It's just a printer/scanner. Even attorneys now only require signature pages to be faxed, but now you scan and email that.
    I agree with this, but some businesses are still antiquated.... such as certain schools you may want to send transcripts to or certian states that need supplements to your tax return filing.  There are definately still a few occasional reasons why someone might need to fax something.
    I'm not sure where you're located, but in this country you're not allowed to send your own transcripts to colleges. And you're not allowed to file taxes by fax (because they need to be machine readable).  But we can do most of it online, unless it's highly complex.
    I read an article that if you're looking for a job in high technology and your resume has a fax number on it, employers almost always automatically reject you.
    Anyways, I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying that giving you an alternative to an expensive solution.

  • PROBLEM: Trying 2 add an AIRPORT EXPRESS to an already existing AIRPORT EXTREME network

    I'm trying 2 add an AIRPORT EXPRESS to an already existing AIRPORT EXTREME network in my home.
    I see the EXPRESS in ARPT UTILITY but when I click on "CONTINUE" or "MANUAL", the only option I'm given is to SWITCH networks, which I do not want to do.
    I am using a MACBOOK PRO (MAC OS X 10.6.8)
    Can someone offer me help with this?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have a similiar setup.  When you click onto the express, and it asks you to switch networks, it's not actually asking you to "change" networks.  It's just actually switching to the xpress.  When the xpress comes up, you'll input the name of your existing network, which you set up and named for the extreme.  You'll have to change the extreme to "participate in a network", which is what you'll also do for the xpress.  In the extreme under the WDS tab, you'll input the wds mode as "wds main".  And then put a check mark in the "allow wireless clients".  Where it says wds remotes, you'll input the the airport id's for the xpress's.  In each of the xpress's, you'll set up as participating in a wds network.  In the xpress's, under the wds tab, you'll set the wds mode to remote, and check
    mark in the allow wireless clients.  You'll have to input the airport id of the extreme in the wds main block.  Under the internet icon on top, in internet conect tab for connect using: airport (wds), connect sharing: off (bridge mode).
    Remember to insure that the express's show the same channel as the extreme, if you're using 802.11n (80211b/g compatible).  Of course the security that you decide to use should also be the same.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 laptop can't connect to new Airport Extreme.

    I had a NetGear router, but got fed up of not being able to use all of my devices, so I bought the AirPort Extreme and use the NetGear as a modem (wireless turned off). Our iPads, iPhones, Macbook, Windows Vista laptop and desktop all connect fine, but I can't get the Windows 7 laptop to connect, even by ethernet.
    It has connected but drops the connection intermittently and then sometimes it fails to get a connection at all. It can see the AirPort, but says it can't connect. This happens paticulalry if the laptp has been left to hibernate.
    I have installed the AirPort utility and I have turned off the power option that turns off the wireless card. I have done all of the Windows updates, and I have updated the drivers from the manufacturer website.
    Any ideas? (Don't say use the Mac, this is my sister's computer, not mine!!)
    Thanks.

    Thanks for clarifying. If you don't mind, let's double-check your extended-network setup configuration:
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the Time Capsule (TC), and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
    o Verify that both “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu and “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox are selected.
    o Next, select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Verify that “Extend a wireless network” has been selected from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu. Also verify that the correct Network Name is shown for the network you want the AEBSn to extend.
    Do your settings match these?
