Very weak Airport Extreme Base Station signal...

Hi --
I've been searching the forums here for some solution but haven't been able to find anything. I'm trying to upgrade my parent's wireless network in their home and they've had an Airport Extreme base station for a couple of years now. I recently switched them to broadband which is much faster than the crappy DSL they used to have but the problem that still exists (one that they've always had) is an incredibly weak Airport Base Station signal.
I've tried using different laptops and computers on it, but all of them register the same weak signal. Having my laptop 12 inches from the base station only gives me three bars. From three feet away it drops to two and anything over six feet is a 1 bar or nothing and that's all int he same room. Trying to access it from an adjacent room is fruitless.
Like I said, it's like this for all computers I've tested. Anyone know what's up with this? Is the base station on the fritz? I have the latest software update for it as far as I know.
Thanks.

That's a good, helpful list but we don't really have any of those potential interfereces. Like I said, this signal is down to two bars from five feet away and only three bars from literally six inches away, so there's really not a lot of room for intererence from that distance anywat.
I've seen people wondering if the latest firmware update for Airport might be causing this, but I'm wondering if the Airport base station itself is maybe in the fritz. I guess I could try getting a new one. Anyone else out there have any other ideas?

AirPort Express Base Station signal drops on and off

My Airport Express Base Station signal drops on and off about every 2 minutes. It’s quite frustrating. I currently have a Windows XP PC, with a Linksys Wireless Router. I’ve taken several steps as prescribed in the support chats to no avail. I’ve switched channels, updated software/firmware (iTunes, Base Station and my Router), reconfigured my security settings to no security back to my regular security settings, I’ve placed the base station right next to my router in case it was due to interference, I’ve used headphones in the event it was my stereo, I’ve changed different utility settings (interference robustness, stream size, etc). I’ve opted to use the option “Create a Wireless Network” versus “Existing Wireless Network” and back to “Existing Wireless Network”. Again, all to no avail. Can someone offer some insight to help solve this problem? The problem is so annoying that I no longer use the base station.
Thanks in advance,
Rene
AirPort Express Base Station Windows XP

Maybe Windows is trying to get an 802.1x authentication which should be disabled:
Ensure that the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network check box is not checked.

It seems updating Windows XP to Service Pack 2 fixes that.

Cheapest way to repeat my Airport Extreme Base Station signal

Are there any other options to repeating my network throughout my house besides buying another Base Station , or express?

Steve, First welcome to the discussions.
I may be a little confused.
When you have an Internet connection in your house, it comes in at a single access point and from there can be distributed throughout your house to different areas in a couple of different ways.
If you choose it can be done with a wireless router, if your computers have wireless cards installed.
Or you can hard wire them, direct into a wired router, thus not needing wireless cards in your computers. They will connect with ethernet cables (Cat 5 or Cat 6).
There are a multitude of ways to connect throughout your house.
The easiest is Wireless, connecting from your Internet Service Providers Modem to your choice of Wireless Router which will enable the distribution of different IP addresses to multiable computers.
If you happen to have a real large house you can extend the range to cover remote areas that are out of the normal range of Airport Extreme Base if that happens to be your choice of Router.
Airport Express can be used to extend the range of Airport Extreme Base.
Cheers Don

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

Extreme Base station can't extend signal from Mini desktop ?TCP/IP settings

I have a Mac Mini connected to DSL via a lynksys 8 port workgroup switch. I had 6 rooms in my house connected to the router by ethernet wiring. Worked great for several years. Now 2 rooms cabling seems to have gone bad (mice or squirrels, maybe). To avoid rewiring the connection outlets or pulling wire again (Ugh!), we bought an extreme base station. It transmits the internet signal fine when connected to the ethernet network (roaming), but I cannot get it to allow clients to access the internet in WDS mode.
The base station is in a central location where there is not an ethernet jack. It picks up the airport signal from the Mini (with extreme card and yes, I have the MAC address of the Mini chosen).
Internet connection is "shared" on the Mini and the laptops have no trouble accessing internet within close range of the Mini. The laptops can't access the internet through the base station. I suspect it's how the TCP/IP is assigned. I have tried every possible combination in the Airport Admin Utility.
In the WDS diagrams, it always shows 2 or more Base stations, never a Desktop and a Base. Are these incompatible?

...but can't figure out how for the Mini....
When you select "Share your Internet connection with AirPort-equipped computers," click AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.
Since they are the "same" network does it matter?
If one has no encryption or is using weaker encryption it will be the weak link for others to access your entire network.
Normally, if you want to seamlessly roam between the 2 wireless networks, ensure that they are using the same network name (SSID), same encryption type, same encryption level, and same encryption password. However any wireless device connecting to the Mac mini's network will be on a separate subnet.
Now I've got to figure out how to get files off the Office Desktop from the laptops, should I set up afp for airport or ethernet?

My roommates' computers can't get a signal from my Airport base station

I just bought a used Airport Extreme (the round one) off Craig's List and set up a network in my apartment using Airport Utility on my MacBook. I've set it up with WPA, and I can connect to it. Works great....
Until my roommates try to connect from their computers. One is on a ~5 year-old iMac and the other is on a Thinkpad. Their machines can see the SSID but can't get a signal from it or connect to it. I've tried removing the password and unsecuring the network. I've tried resetting the router entirely and reconfiguring. Same story.
I know this is an Apple issue because their machines can connect just fine to our previous crappy router that was slowing down our connection (that was meant to be replaced by the shiny new (used) Airport). I've looked into the WEP / hex key issue mentioned on some forums (eg http://www.macwindows.com/airportpc.html#011408b), but I don't think that Apple/PC compatibility is the issue because one of their machines is an iMac.
Help?

Hello amandalotti. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Per chance, do you have Access Controls enabled? (ref: AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Access tab) If so, disable it.
If not, I suggest performing a "factory default" reset on the base station to get it back to its original "out-of-the-box" configuration to see if this will help.

Just got a used airport base station. Set it up and getting wif signal. when I try to hook up on a computer it asks for a security key. where can I locate key?

If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password

Using a Base Station (Graphite) to receive signal

I have a Graphite Base Station and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to use it to connect to a wireless network, essentially using it as an Airport card. We have wireless access in our community but I have a bit of trouble connecting inside our house sometimes and would like to connect the Base Station to our computer using Ethernet and then use the Base Station to receive the signal in a better location. Any help would be appreciated.

Warmace, Welcome to the discussion area!
I have a Graphite Base Station and was wondering if anyone knew of a way to use it to connect to a wireless network, essentially using it as an Airport card.
Sorry but that is not possible.
The graphite AirPort base station (ABS) will not operate as a wireless client in any way.

I have a airport extreme as my base station. I am experiencing a large signal loss in a particular room. Will an airport express restore that signal? l

I have an airport extreme base station. Experiencing large signal loss in a particular room. Will an airport express, placed in that room, restore the signal? Thanks, Glenn.

The Express can only "extend" the bandwidth of the wireless signal that it receives.
So, you would not want to place the Express in the same room where you need more signal, you would want to locate the Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more wireless coverage.

Have base station and added extender for downstairrs. Worked great upon initial setup, but now it won't connect despite an "excellent" signal. What's wrong? Thanks!!

Have base station and added extender for downstairs. Worked great upon initial setup, but now it won't connect despite an "excellent" signal. All i get is a blinking amber light; only get green if I bring it into the same room as the base. Both units are the latest models; purchased 2 months ago. What's wrong? Thanks!!

Power off both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for a few minutes
Now locate the AirPort Express about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage, and report on your results.
The more that you can minimize obstructions between the AirPorts like walls, ceilings, etc. the better the wireless will operate.

Can I use the Airport Extreme Base Station with my already existing D-Link router to increase signal strength?

I already own a wireless router that I would like to keep. Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement? Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router? You probably have read this question more than once, and I have read some questions of this product too, but for some reason these Apple products I have some trouble with.

Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement?
Yes
Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router?
Yes

Devices connecting to the weaker signal base station, not extended Airport Express

I have am successfully extending my network with a timecapsule as the base station in the front of the house (living room) and an airport express in the back of the house (bedroom). The connection between the timecapsule and the AX is 'good' according to the airport utility on my iPad.
I'm connecting my iPad and laptop to the AX from the bedroom and the internet is fast.
I am also trying to connect a printer and a droid; both of these won't connec to the AX from the bedroom, and default to the timecapsule which they both can barely connect to. The Internet is slow, and the printer won't work.
The printer is a canon mx860 and is b/g
The droid is a droid global 2 and is b/g/n
I had a similar problem with my home theatre pc in the bedroom, which wanted to connect to the timecapsule, but I installed a network sniffer and was able to manually connect to the AX, which clearly had a stronger signal.
Why are the phone and printer not connecting to the stronger signal?? I know I read somewhere that you can't configure this on the TC and AX.
Thanks,
Walker

Since you are using the Express to extend the network of your Time Capsule then the band that is being used by the Express is determined by which band you are using to connect to the Time Capsule.
On the Time Capsule, if you are using the simultaneous dual band feature you will have created at least two networks, one 2.4GHz and one that is 5GHz. Each Network should have a unique name so you can distinguish them. I append (5GHz) to the name of my 5GHz network to accomplish that.
When you set your Express to extend your Time Capsule network choose the 2.4GHz network as the network that is being extended. This will set the Express to use 2.4GHz.

Signals from multiple base stations

This may be a very naive question, but here goes. I have a new Mac that supports WiFi 802.11ac. I'd like to replace my current Airport Extreme with the latest model, so I can take advantage of what I assume will be a faster speed. But I have an Airport Express base station (1st generation) that won't support ac. How can I be sure that my Mac receives the signal from the Airport Extreme and not from Airport Express?
Thank you.

Your original question was how to make sure that your Mac would connect to the faster "ac" wireless signal that a new AirPort Extreme would provide.
Since the "ac" signal is carried only on the 5 GHz signal, assigning a separate name to that signal would allow you to always have your Mac connect to the faster wireless signal.
If you did not assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network on the new Extreme, then your Mac would connect to the strongest signal.....either the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme depending on where the Mac was in relation to the AirPort router.
So, if the Mac was picking up the stronger signal from the AirPort Express, you would lose connection speed, since the AirPort Express does not have "ac" wireless capability.
Are you saying that, without buying a new Airport Extreme, setting up the separate network will just make file copying faster?
Whether you buy a new AirPort Extreme or not, having your Mac connect to the 5 GHz signal will insure that it is operating at the fastest available speed.
The point that I was making was whether you continue to use your older AirPort Extreme or buy a new product........the Internet connection speed on your network will be controlled by your Internet Service Provider and the connection speed plan that you have with them.
It's nice to know that a new AirPort Extreme might be able to produce a wireless signal at a speed of 900 Mbps. But.....if your Internet connection speed is 30 Mbps, that is the fastest speed that your network will operate when you are connected to the Internet.
Buying a new router will not improve your Internet connection speed. Even your current AirPort is capable of producing a faster signal than your Internet Service Provider can ever hope to deliver.
Think of your "local" network speed as if it were water moving through a fire hose. Think of your "Internet" speed as if it were water delivered by a garden hose.
You can connect a garden hose to a fire hose with the right adapter.......but you will not get any more water out of the fire hose than the garden hose can deliver.

Intermittent Weak Signal; is base station dying? (Graphite)

I have a graphite base station running through a Netgear router and then a cable modem. For the past few months I've been experiencing an intermittent weak signal, which makes internet browsing extremely frustrating. There are 3 computers that use the internet through the base station - 2 running Jaguar, 1 with Panther. (Planning to update the Jaguars to Tiger very soon). The base station has been in the same location for years. This seems to be a dense wireless location, so I suspected interference. So, I tried several things including changing the channel several times, physically moving the station somewhat, changing multicast rate, changing password, etc. Though there are times when I do get a relatively normal speed internet transmission, I'm still experiencing the random periods of extreme slowness. The slowness seems to occur most often when I've been online for awhile or late in the day.
Any opinions? Should I think about replacing the base station or is it possible that some interference problems are insurmountable? Other ideas? Thanks for suggestions.
Jen

No, there isn't any unusual LED behavior. The signal/transmission is just very very slow sometimes.
The utility program connects and functions normally. Also, I checked the router via an ethernet cable. It is running normally, at normal speed. The problem appears to be occurring in the ABS (v 3.84).
