Can you use airport extreme as a bridge to netgear wdnr4500 wireless router

can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear  wndr4500 router.I need to extend my wireless connections to the other side of the house

can you use airport extreme as a bridge with a netgear  wndr4500 router.
This is extremely unlikely. The AirPort Extreme can provide this function with other Apple routers, but as far we know, it is not compatible with products from other manufacturers for this purpose.
Suggest that you use a Netgear product for the best chance of compatibility.

  • Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

    Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

    You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

  • How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

    How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

    You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
    The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
    The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
    So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
    If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

  • Can i use airport extreme as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

    can i use airport extreme base station as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

    If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only......Apple tells us that their "extend a wireless network" feature is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    So, in order to use your AirPort Extreme as an extender, you would need to have another Apple router.....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme as the main base station.
    I haven't tested the specific Linksys model that you have, but have owned and worked with several other Linksys models, none of which were compatible with Apple for the purpose that you ask about....so I would have to say that it is extremely unlikely that your model would be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

  • Can I use AirPort extreme to play musik on my sterio

    Can I use AirPort Extreme to play music from Itunes, on my sterio? Or is it just AirPort Express.?

    Express only. Only the Express has a audio jack.

  • How can I use Airport Extreme just as a file server - no wifi

    I'm setting up a new Apple environment for an invalid music buff.  Here are the components, all newly purchased.
    MacBook Pro
    Airport Extreme
    Airport Express
    I was handed a G-Drive with a large iTunes file collection on it.
    The user will have Comcast as his network provider and he already has a Comcast wireless router, so none of the Apple devices will need to be used as a wireless router or base station (assuming I understand what Apple means by a "base station").
    The Airport Express has the primary function of acting as an AirPlay device, feeding an analog music signal to the user's hi-end audio system (Denon integrated amplifier, Thiel Loudspeakers).
    The Airport Extreme has the sole function of acting as a network file share for the G-Drive.
    The MacBook Pro will operate iTunes and will get its music files from the network shared G-Drive and send it to the AirPlay device, which will feed the music signal to the hi-end audio system.
    I am able to get the Airport Express to simply act as a wireless client on the Comcast provided wireless network.  The MacBook Pro is also on the network and can see the Airport Express as an AirPlay device and send music to the audio system.
    What I'm having problems with is getting the Airport Extreme to simply act as a file server on this LAN.  It can either work in bridged mode and just be a wireless network client, or I can readily run an ethernet cable from the Airport Extreme to the Airport Express, or even to the Comcast router. 
    I tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Airport Extreme with an ethernet cable and get it to "join an existing network", but it refused to recognize the Comcast provided network.  All it could see were some networks in homes nearby.
    I was hoping that if I just ran a network cable between the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express, that it would just get a network address over DHCP through the Airport Express.  Nope.
    So I'm stuck.   How do I get the Airport Express to simply act as a file server for the G-Drive on my LAN?

    +Can I use the Airport Extreme base station as a wired router, with wireless disabled for the time being?+
    Sure, but it will probably take just as much time...a few minutes....to turn the wireless off than simply change the name on the default wireless network to your personal choice.
    The AirPort Extreme is pre-configured to create a wireless network when it is hooked up to a modem. All you need do is assign a name to this network and establish a password. If you don't want to do this, you can turn the wireless off and use the device as a wired only router.
    AirPort Utility, the application that is used to setup the AirPort Extreme has a simple guided step by step process for you to configure the device the way you want.

  • Can I use Airport Extreme with a westell 7500

    I have Verizon DSL with a Westell 7500.  Can I connect the Airport Exreme as the router and
    use the 7500 as a modem only?

    When you configure the Westell device for simple bridge mode operation, it will no longer provide the PPPoE connection credentials, so you will need to setup the PPPoE connection on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = PPPoE
    Enter your ISP user name...(probably your email address).... and password
    Leave the Service Area name completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnet if Idle= Never
    Update to save settings
    Power down the entire network
    Wait a moment or two
    Start the modem first, let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time about a minutes apart until everything is powered back up

  • HT2497 can you connect AirPort Extreme to a Mi-Fi unit? currently have one from 3 uk. It's a Huawei E586

    hi there, I have an Huawei E586 mi fi unit, can this be used with an Air Port extreme unit in the same way as a router? If so, how do the two units connect?

    The AirPort Extreme requires an Ethernet signal at its WAN port.
    So, the first question here would be does your Huawei device provide an Ethernet signal that could be sent to the AirPort Extreme?

  • Can i use airport extreme, with apple tv and pc without the internet

    While renting/buying films on itunes is all well and good, my wireless capacity is poor, if i buy airport extreme, without connecting it to the internet, will it stream my films on itunes from the PC to apple TV?

    ...if i buy airport extreme, without connecting it to the internet, will it stream my films on itunes from the PC to apple TV?
    Yes. An Internet connection is not required. However, of course, the AirPort or your Apple TV will not be able to stream content from the Internet.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to create wired access point on wireless network?

    Bit of an odd situation. I just went from cable to DSL at home and the modem moved from right by my computer to upstairs.
    Trouble is, there's no real easy way to get a cable from the modem upstairs to my X-box (sans wireless connector) downstairs.
    I could buy the wireless adaptor for the X-Box, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to spend any more money.
    I have my airport extreme, and I was hoping I could use it to create a wired access point on the network, recieving the signal from the wireless modem upstairs and allowing me to plug in the X-Box.
    Is this possible? If so, how? I've been through the config panel about a dozen times, but can't figure out what combination to set up.
    Thanks.

    Will it work if I use the express to create the network?
    Yes, providing that you have an 802.11n version of the AirPort Express and the Express has been configured to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Then, the AirPort Extreme can be configured to "extend" the Express network. When you do this, the AirPort Extreme will provide more wireless coverage and the LAN Ethernet ports are enabled, so you can connect an Ethernet device.
    This will not be a "normal" Ethernet connection. It will only work as well as the wireless "hop" between the Express and Extreme allow.
    For best results and performance, a wired connection through the hole in the wall is always best. If you decide to do this, you will need the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port on the device. But, you could try wireless first to see if it will meet your goals before you reach for the tools.

  • Can I use Airport Express's Airtunes with a non-Apple modem/router?

    I am about to set up a network in our second home, so I am trying to do it as economically as possible. I will have a Verizon modem/router. The Verizon rep says the Verizon equipment is all I need for a computer network (no Airport Extreme Base Station needed). But I would also like to play music on Internet radio stations through iTunes on my Cambridge Soundworks system in a room that is different from the one where the Verizon modem/router will be. Can I purchase an Airport Express with Airtunes to plug in near the music system without also getting an Airport Extreme Base Station to which the Airport Express would be linked? If it is possible to go with just the AE, is it foolish to avoid getting the base station if I would also like to have wireless printing on my network? (I believe I would need the Airport Extreme Base Station for printing because it has the USB port.)

    The Airport Express will do what you want in addition to printing if your printer is compatible as it does have a USB port. Just configure the Express to "join" the wireless network that the Verizon router is creating.
    You will be able to stream AirTunes to the AirPort Express, which in turn will furnish an audio signal to your stereo system.
    If you want to be able to stream any audio source from your computer to the AirPort Express...not just iTunes audio sources...you might want to take a look at Airfoil.

  • Airport Extreme (802.11n) and ATT U-verse wireless router (2-wire)

    I am attempting to use my new airport extreme with my new U-verse service. Prior to the U-verse service my router worked fine. I have to use the U-verse router as it is the brains behind the internet/TV applications of the U-verse service. I tried to run a eithernet cable from the U-verse router to the Airport Extreme, but the U-verse router says that I cannot use a third-party router behind the U-verse router. The U-verse router gives me the option to resolve the problem and it makes some configuration changes. The U-verse router show my Airport Extreme as a DMZ+ device. I can use my computers that are on the Airport Extreme network but my Xbox's will not work.
    Is there a way to use the Airport Extreme as a wireless hub and not have the Airport Extreme compete with the U-verse router to assign IP addresses?
    Thanks,
    Larry
    Just switched to Macs and never want to go back to Windows!

    Run an ethernet cable from a spare LAN port on your "U-verse router" to one of the LAN ports on the Airport Extreme Base Station. Then run the Airport Utility, and configure the Base Station so that it does not distribute IP addresses (ie so-called "bridge mode").
    What this will accomplish is allowing the "U-verse router" to perform DHCP server and internet connection sharing services for your entire LAN. The Base Station's DHCP server and router will be disabled, allowing it to function as a wired-to-wireless bridge device.

  • Can I use Airport Extreme instead of an internal Airport Card?

    +Sorry I realise there are various queries all over the web relating to this same issue, however I can't seem to find a consensus anywhere, or a setup that specifically relates to my situation...+
    I currently have a G5 iMac (OS X 10.5.6), which connects wirelessly to my 2Wire "2701HGV-W Gateway" ADSL2+ modem/router. I also have a Lexmark wi-fi printer wirelessly connected to the network. This setup has worked flawlessly for nearly a year now. Occasionally a friend comes over and connects his XP laptop to the same network, again without any problems.
    I use WPA2 security and my wireless network is set to 802.11b/g (said friend's XP laptop runs on 'b' only; my iMac and printer run on 'g').
    Yesterday I inherited an old eMac (1GHz, 80GB, 512MB RAM, superdrive, 56kb modem, no airport card). In lieu of buying a really long ethernet cable or going to the hassle of finding and installing a suitable airport card (I'm not a technical guy!), I wondered if I could simply buy an Airport Express, and connect that to my eMac via a short ethernet cable, this enabling the eMac to get online? The setup I'm imaging goes something like this:
    *eMac > ethernet cable > Airport Express > (((wireless connection))) > 2Wire modem/router > internet.*
    Is this a feasible solution? Would it enable me to connect to the wi-fi printer and also share files with my iMac?
    Also, if it would work, could I simultaneously connect my Time Machine HD (or another external HD) to the USB port on the Airport Express to share it with both my iMac and eMac?

    Not unless you're already using an AirPort base station as the router. The AeroPad mini meets your requirements.

  • Can I use Airport Extreme in a Windows environment?

    I have a Mac in my office on a Window's network. I can get through to the internet by manually setting the FTP Proxy Server and port. Is there a way that I can use AE to connect to the internet in this environment?

    Sorry, I meant Airport Express not Extreme.

  • Can you use Airport for internet and Gigabit Ethernet for file sharing?

    i would like to complicate my network setup by using my Airport connection to the internet for internet access and then use the Gigabit Ethernet connection between my G5 tower and the MacBook Pro for file sharing, Compressor's distributed rendering, and possibly iTunes music/video sharing for Front Row.
    is this possible? could i just run a cat 6 cable between the two and network them together? or do i need to get a Gigabit Switch?
    i suppose i could just try running the cable between them and see what happens. i don't think these new machines require cross-over cables since the ethernet ports auto-detect that now, but is a cat 5e or cat 6 cable required for Gigabit speed?
    thanks,
    scott
    PowerMac G5 2.5GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Yes it would work. The Ethernet network would be used for local file transfers and the Airport for internet. However you will need to make sure Ethernet is at the top of the list of network ports in the Network Preferences.
