Can I use powerline wireless adapters with airport extreme

can I use power line wireless adapters with airport extreme?

Can this work?
Yes
I read somewhere that powerline adapters are not compatible with Airport.
That information is not correct.
If the AirPort Extreme is already set up as your "main" router, you would connect a short Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the power line adapter.
Locate another adapter in the area where you want to use the AirPort Express and connect a short Ethernet cable from the adapter to the Express.
Configure the Express to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same security settings and and same password as the AirPort Extreme network and select the Bridge Mode setting for the Express so that it work correctly on the network.

Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection. Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi? I won't have my computer with me.
Thanks!

Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Using Non-Apple 802.11N Adapters with Airport Extreme

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station but both N enabled and G enabled Macs in the house. I'd really like to set up the network as an N network. And since I can upgrade the Airport Cards in the older Macs, can I use 3rd Party 802.11N adapters (USB 2.0 for example) to get the older Macs onto the N network? Otherwise, it seems to defeat the purpose of having the 802.11N enabled Airport Extrement and iMacs.
I see that Netgear and Edimax have such adapters, but neither lists Mac OSX as a supported OS.
Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. But unfortunately, I still need to run my non-N machines. So I think my choices are:
1. Try somehow to replace the older Airport Cards in those machines with N-Cards which seem like a pain
2. Have 2 networks, one N and one non-N
3. Try some of these 3rd Party USB or PC Card Slot N-Adapters
Seems like 3. is the least painful option?
Any advice on whether I can use 3rd Party N-Adapter would be very appreciated! Thanks again!

Can I use my wireless keyboard with numbers

I am trying to create a spreadsheet and am using an I Pad 2 with an Apple wireless keyboard but it does not seem to work. Can anyone please help?

Without knowing any real specifics and not having used a wireless keyboard myself, I would ask you - did you pair the keyboard with the iPad via Bluetooth? Does the keyboard work at all?
I do not have a wireless keyboard but I see no reason why it shouldn't work with any app or for anything that you want to do on the iPad. Maybe you can be more specific as to exactly what is happening.

Trouble setting up wireless cameras with airport extreme

I am trying to set up my alarm dot com wireless cameras and am having trouble getting them to connect to my Airport Extreme. With my prior D-Link router, there was no issue, but since upgrading to the Extreme, I can get them to locate the network, but not connect.

Add me to the list of people with Netgear DM111P ADSL modem and AEBS(n)...I can connect fine to the internet directly from MB Pro to modem, and for the last couple months have used the Netgear with my trusty AEX, no problem.
Now I finally get my AEBS from Canada (here in Dubai, UAE) and I have wasted hours trying to get on the internet with the AEBS. I have it configured exactly the same as the AEX is! One works fine, the other not at all. Exasperating.
I am using the Netgear with PPPoA Bridging (the correct setting for the ISP here and what works with the AEX and direct connection). The AEBS shows it is getting the IP correctly and has a solid green light. My MB Pro shows it is getting an IP from the AEBS's DHCP server. And shows entries for the DNS servers.
Yet..no internet. From the number of complaints with this exact same setup...it ain't me...I have used and configured over a dozen routers and modems from all major manufacturers, used DSL/ADSL/cable, PPPoe, PPPoA, etc etc...and I'm stumped.
This is NOT a typical Mac product. I am not happy. If someone figures this out, you will have my admiration.

Using a external HD with Airport Extreme

I just purchased the Airport Extreme and am using an external HD with it, mostly for my iTunes collection so I can access it even when I am wireless. I am wondering if the HD needs to be spinning all the the time though, even when I am not using the HD (like when my laptop is off). It seems as though the HD is spinning as long as it is connected to the Airport Extreme. Is there anyway to have it stop spinning when not in use? I have tried using the disconnect feature and although it removes it from my desktop, the HD is still spinning. Please help.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't think it needs to be spinning all the time, others disagree with me, whatever is the correct answer it doesn't matter as there is no way to stop it. Hopefully we will at least have the option at some time in the future to let it spin down.

Extend a E4200v2 wireless network with airport extreme

I have a E4200v2 i also have a Airport Extreme I want to use this to extend my wireless range in my house? I've played around a little tring to configure the Airport extreme but can't seem to get it to connect to my E4200v2?
Can you mod the Airprt Extreme with dd-wrt or something that might unlock some of the features?
I can't stand the interface. The E4200v2 is brand new.

Before I suggest you for any trouble shooting steps, I would like to as few questions. Is you Linksys/Cisco router can able to access the Internet. If YES then try the following steps
1. After unpacking your Airport Extreme, connect the ethernet cable from your jack to the leftmost ethernet port on the back of the Airport. This is the WAN port marked with the small circular image. Next plug the AC adapter into the power port on the Airport and plug it into the wall.
2. Once the Airport Extreme has been plugged into the network and powered on, the status light on the front will go through a series of colored flashes. When the status light glows solid green, your Airport has been initialized and is connected to the network. This may take a few minutes. If your status light fails to glow solid green, please consult your manual for status light explanations.
3. Make sure the wireless card on your computer is enabled and turned on. Connect to your Airport Extreme, which will most likely appear as Apple Network followed by some letters.
4. Next install the Airport software from the included CD. After installation, launch the Airport Utility application. This is located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
Please keep in mind that the Airport Utility is released with a new version every few months, so the screen shots you see below may not look exactly like what you see on your computer.
5. Select your base station, and then click Continue.
6. Enter a Wireless Network Name and a Base Station Name and click Continue. Write these names down for future reference.
7. Enter your Country and Radio Mode on the next screen. Using 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) is the proper choice in most cases. Click Continue.
8. Select WPA2 Personal security on the next screen, then enter a Wireless Network Password and Verify it. This password must be between 8 and 63 characters. You should write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme in case you forget it. Click Continue.
9. Select "I connect to my local area network (LAN)" on the next screen and click Continue.
10. Leave the default settings (Using DHCP) on the next screen and click Continue.
11. If you are interested in connecting USB peripherals to your Airport, consult your manual for additional information. Otherwise leave the default settings and click Continue.
12. Enter a Base Station Password and Verify it. Write this password down and keep it near your Airport Extreme. You will need it if you ever want to modify any settings for your base station. Click Continue.
13. Click Update. Your Airport Extreme base station has been configured and will now restart. Quit the Airport Utility and connect to your new wireless network.

Extending N600 wireless network with Airport Extreme, wirelessly

For the past year or so I have run a Netgear N600 wireless modem router, and have extended the network with a first generation A1143 Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Prior to this I have run the same extended network with an older Netgear router - successfully for 5 years.
After a recent lightning strike, the N600 router needed resetting. Everything was back to normal, however I was unable to reconnect the old AEBS to the network as before. I did this so that I could wirelessly back up the laptops to a connected HDD by Time Machine
Figuring that maybe this was the end of life for the old AEBS, I went out today and bought a new 5th generation AEBS, expecting that I could reconnect everything as I have been running with this router, and the old Netgear router before that without a problem.
Now though, with the new AEBS, I still cannot extend the network. Ive tried everything including connecting it via ethernet to the Netgear Router.
I can only surmise that there is something different in the N600 settings that have changed, than now do not allow me to connect.
Ive even reinstalled Mountain Lion, and also Airport Utility, and trashed preferences...to no avail. Can someone please help? Have I just wasted $200 on a new AEBS?
Im running a Retina MBP and a MBAir

Who wants to use WEP these days... I need apple to update the airport so we can use WPA together with wireless hardware from 3d parties like dd-wrt.
I have 2 airport expresses doing nothing atm because of the lack of SAFE encryption with WDS.

Windows Vista can't log onto wifi network with Airport Extreme

Several problems with our network. 1. My sister's new Gateway laptop sees the network I set up from my Mac using my airport extreme, but cannot log on to it even when I removed password/encryption - even when I entered 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 in my DNS server fields. 2. the reason I even did the above is because although my Mac (Titanium G4 Powerbook previously running 10.2.8) could get on the network through the airport, I could not get to any site Google related until I read about the DNS entries as a work around. Yes the work around works but what's the real problem/fix? Regarding probem 1., some advice I'd gotten was to update the firmware on my base station as it might be a compatability issue with that and Vista. I begrudgingly upgraded to Tiger 10.4.6 then downloaded the patch to 10.4.10 (where I am now) which did lead me to an upgrade for my airport (5.3 to 5.6 now). Still, Windows cannot get on to the unsecure network!! What the heck do I need to do?!

I hope I may have found how to make the vista machines get to your Time Capsule. On the vista system go to network and sharing center. Then click on status, then you will see a window pop up with wireless network info. Click on Wireless properties and then click the advance tab at the bottom, a box without a check mark needs to be checked which says "connect if not broadcasting". I hope I got that right...try it, it's seemed to help for today at least.

Use an external HD with Airport Extreme to access it for data storage from computers connected to the WiFi network?

Can I connect My Passport HD into my Airport Extreme's USB port to access it from my computers (27" iMac 2012 now using Yosemite) on that Wifi network for data storage and retrieval purposes?

Yes, if the AirPort base station's hardware supports 802.11n. The drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), FAT16, or FAT32, and may need to be connected through an USB hub with its own power supply.
