Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network at the same time with a second Timecapsule / Extreme ?

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network coming from a Timecapsule  with a second Timecapsule / Extreme at the same time?

I am currently extending my 5Ghz network via an Express without any problems, but the Express can only extend either / or. I just want full coverage for both networks in the whole house.
If you can extend 5 GHz now with an AirPort Express and get satisfactory results, then the AirPort Extreme will work to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands in the same location.
However, your computer is going to connect to the band with the strongest signal, so it may....or may not....connect to 5 GHz given a choice of two signals.

  • WRT110 Can't connect MAC and PC to wireless network at the same time.

    I installed a WRT110 router on my son-in-law's MAC sometime back and at the time configured it to have the MAC connected via Ethernet.  My PC laptop worked fine with it in the wireless mode.  Recently we changed the MAC to wireless newtworking and removed the Ehthernet connection.  Now if the MAC connects to the wireless network first and then I attempt to connect with my PC laptop the PC cannot find the network and the MAC loses connection.  If I shut my PC down the MAC will not find the network until it is put to sleep and reawakened.  If the MAC is put to sleep my PC wil immediately find the network. If I first connect my PC and then awaken the MAC both work fine.  I've checked all of the router's setup settings and they seem to be OK.  I am not MAC savvy and my son-in-law is a neophyte at computers so we are really helpless when something doesn't work.  Help will be appreciated. 

    I tried this setup change after reading another similar post.  It didn't help.  One thing I had wrong in the first post is that neither computer will connect to the wireless net after we experience the wireless failures until both are turned off, at least that is what happened after making the suggested changes.  Is this a WRT110 issue?  Seems there are quite a few posts similar to mine.

  • Can't connect to Internet and 192.168.1 network at the same time

    I have been having an issue with my MacBook's networking for the past 4 months. Here are the specifics:
    *My MacBook is connected to the Internet via a linux router, with an address in the 192.168.1.x address space. DNS server is an openDns server, 208.67.222.222
    *My MacBook is assigned an IP Address manually in the 192.168.1.x namespace
    *I have a printer manually assigned an address in the 192.168.1.x namespace
    Problem:
    * I can only connect to my printer if I leave my DNS server entry blank under my Airport TCP/IP configuration
    * I can only connect to the Internet when my DNS server entry to set to the openDNS server entry.
    Question:
    Is there any way I can connect to both my local network printer and the Internet at the same time? I have set up two locations that I can switch between, but I would prefer to be able to access both networks at once.

    I tried turning AppleTalk on, but no luck.
    It seems that the problem is related to basic TCP/IP connectivity. For example, when my DNS server is set to blank, I get a fine response from the command "ping 192.168.1.253". However, when my DNS is set to one of the openDNS servers, I get this error:
    PING 192.168.1.253 (192.168.1.253): 56 data bytes
    ping: sendto: No route to host
    ping: sendto: Host is down

  • Can't play music and be on old network at the same time?

    I just want to use this device to play music and connect to my original wireless network. I assume since I'm not using an Airport Extreme to connect to the internet then I can't get the Airport Express to connect either. I can't listen to music and be online at the same time the way it is currently configured. Is there another way to set this up so I can connect to my airport on itunes and play music while being on my other wireless network?

    Try Doing a hard Reset your Express and go through the setup procedure again.
    This time making sure your joining your existing network.

  • Can I connect my Mac to two separate wireless networks at the same time?

    Need some assistance with some advanced wireless networking please....
    Upstairs I have a D-link wireless router connected to the internet and wired to a couple of PCs. Downstairs I have a minimac linked to my hifi via an airport express. I have bought a D-Link DWL-G122 usb wifi dongle.
    So I want the mini mac to connect to the airport express on one wireless network (strong signal) and to be able to connect to the internet on another network (weak signal) via the usb wifi /router.
    But the airport software and the d-link driver seem to conflict and both try to take control of the two wireless devices.
    Is there any way round this to be able to run one mac with two wireless network devices at the same time?
    Thanks

    While those with more experience may be able to correct me, I'm pretty sure that you can only connect to one wireless network at a time with your Mac Mini, unless D-Link provides their own proprietary software that bypasses the computer's Airport settings.
    Using the AirPort hardware you can only connect to a single wireless network at any given time. However in this situation the 2 attempted connections are via USB and AirPort. Therefore this requires nothing special of the AirPort drivers or settings.
    It does require that the Mac OS and applications have the capability to use either network connection (USB or AirPort) depending on what data they are trying to get. In general I understand how it is theoretically possible but I have no idea if you can configure OS X to do it.
    ...I believe one of the options when setting up the Airport Extreme Base Station is that you can extend a wireless network already in place.
    True but the D-Link is not compatible with Apple's WDS therefore this is not possible in this situation.
    If you have a newer Airport Extreme Base Station with a USB port on it...
    FYI, every AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has a USB port.
    BTW, birky has indicated that he/she is using an AirPort Express (AX) not an AEBS.

  • Apple TV - can I pair my macbook and my wife's macbook at the same time with different itunes accounts?

    Just bought the Apple TV2 yesteday.
    I'd like to pair both my macbook and my wifes macbook to the Apple TV.  We both have seperate iTunes accounts.
    Is this possible without having to sign on or the other out of apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can do that. The key to this is remembering your homesharing ID and your iTunes account ID are not the same thing (although you can use your account details for your homesharing details)
    Set up homesharing in both instances of iTunes using the same information in each, your Apple TV will then see both libraries.

  • Will external speakers on both 3.5 mm and a USB port work at the same time?

    Have two sets of speakers that I want the same audio on. If I connect one set of speakers to 3.5 mm audio out, and the other set to a USB port, will I hear audio coming out of both sets?
    If that's possible, do you know if I can regulate volume independently on both sets through Mac Mini?
    Thanks in advance to any replies.

    Thanks. So I guess my other option (if not getting into third party apps) is to split optical out or get a multi-zone receiver.
    Thanks for the reply!

  • Can a HP B210 AIO printer be connected to 2 different wireless networks at the same time?

    I live in a household that has 2 different wireless networks in it (both me and my roommate have our own networks) and we just bought a new B210 series AIO printer.  The printer detects both of our networks but only will print from one network at a time. If I want to print from my network I have to manually go to the wireless network wizard on the printer and select my network and re-enter my password. Is there any way that I can set up the printer to acknowledge both networks without having to constantly switch back and forth?

  • Can I share my internet connection via wifi AND use my wireless printer at the same time?

    Not completely familiar with  wifi capabilities. I have this new setup in my office. I want to share my iMac internet connection via wifi so I can text and check emails using my iPhone (no cell service inside the building). Which works fine. However, I now cannot print wirelessly to my HP printer (LaserJet Pro 400 color). Once Internet sharing is off, I can print just fine. Any other wireless options, or just go get a long USB cable?

    Hi,
    It is not a multitasking printer, other devices may keep it therefore the best option in this case: connect it to your wireless router and all devices which are conntected to this router can sahre the printer.
    Regards.

  • Can i connect the printer to a wireless network and a usb computer conneconnection at the same time

    Can I connect my Officejet Pro 8600 by Usb and wireless at the same time, I have a very slow Network at this time.

    Hello gilldenc
    To answer you question yes. You can have one computer attached via USB and to a wireless router at the same time. What router are you using? Is it your internet connection that is slow? Usually your internal home network is much faster than your internet speed.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

  • How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    How do I get the Time Capsule to run both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks at the same time.

    Thanks for digging out the facts.
    You have a 1st Generation Time Capsule.
    Your model can produce two bands....either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz....but not both simultaneously.
    You would need a Generation 2, 3 or 4 Time Capsule for simultaneous dual band capability.

    I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

    First restart your mac and try again.
    It could be
    that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
    You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
    Open Wireless Diagnostics
    enter your user password
    Press CMD 4 then Scan
    You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
    Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
    Set 5Ghz to auto
    Update the TC
    Try again

  • 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.
