Connect airport extreme 802.11ac to hp 3052a

How can I create a wireless connection for an hp 3052a to an apple airport extreme 802.11ac. I can connect the printer direct into the extreme and print from the mac desktop but i can not access it from ipads or other computers. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks,

Hi voled65,
I can help you print from your iPads. First and foremost, if you have a USB cable going from the printer to the router, I suggest you disconnect it and configure the printer for the wireless network. If you are unsure how to set the printer up on the wireless network, click on this link > Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection
To troubleshoot the inability of printing from the iPad, open the following link and select "What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?" > How to Use Apple's AirPrint Over a Wireless Network.
I hope this helps.

I have airport extreme 802.11AC as a base that connect to Cable modem. How can I connect D-link DIR-655 to AE to utilize as an extender or repeat?

Hello-
I have wireless router Airport Extreme 802.11AC that connect direct to Cable modem...how can I setup the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router to AE and act as extender or repeater?. Thanks in advance.

Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
Good luck.

Trying to Port Forward Airport Extreme 802.11ac using Airpot Utility 6.3.2

Hello kind experts. I am finally getting around to replacing my old BEFSR81 Cisco Router with an old Time Capsule attached with the Airport Extreme 802.11ac. The BEFSR81 also had 8 ports, so I have 8 hardwired locations throughout the house. I have a couple of IP cameras for which it was easy to port forward on the Cisco (just click on the port range forwarding tab, type the start/end ranges (which are identical) and the assigned IP address). Everything has been working well for years. Here's what I wish to do with the new setup: Cable Modem -> Airport Extreme -> Dumb gigaport switch with the hardwires connected to it.
When I go to Airport Utility (6.3.2) -> Network Tab -> Port Settings -> "+", the following comes up:
Firewall Entry Type (Defaulted to IPv4 Port Mapping)
Description (5 pull down choices)
Public UDP Ports : _________
Public TCP Ports: __________
Private IP Address (I take it that is where I enter the IP address for each camera, e.g. 192.168.1.xxx)?
Private UDP Ports: __________
Private TCP Ports: __________
I am obviously not a technophile, especially when it comes to networking, but was able to create my old setup.
Any advice on whether or not my configuration is appropriate and what exactly I need to put in the port fields would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

To successfully access an IP camera on the local network from the Internet, the following basics need to be taken care of:
Install the camera(s) and verify that you can access them from the local network.
Configure port mapping/forwarding on your router. Typically, IP cameras require at least two ports: 1) A web port for administering the camera; Usually TCP port 80, and 2) A streaming port to broadcast the camera video feed; Usually UDP port 9000. Note: You should check with your camera's documentation for the exact ports required.
If the camera is attached to a computer, you will need to configure the computer's firewall to open the same ports as in step 2 above.
Verify that your modem is in bridge mode, i.e., if the modem provides NAT & DHCP services, turn them off.
Test your network. Use CheckIP to determine your router's current WAN-side (public) IP address. Then, from a remote location (not from a computer on the local network), use the DynDNS Open Port Tool to verify that the required ports are open. Success is an "Open" response from the Tool.

Airport Extreme 802.11AC + 5th Gen and guest network access

I have the current gen Airport Extreme 802.11AC with a 5th Gen extending the network. With this setup, I am unable to login using our guest network setup. I have tried using guest network with a password and one without but its the same results. When a guest logins, it stuck attempting to login with no error messages.
So is it possible to have this configuration and still have guest network access?

Please review what I said originally.......that the guest network function on the AirPort Extreme is designed to work with a simple modem......so the AirPort acts as the main router for the network..
Another way of saying the same thing is that the AirPort needs to be "in charge" of your network for the guest feature to work correctly. The AirPort cannot be in charge if it is connected to another device that is already configured to be the main router on your network.....your Actiontec modem/router.
The Actiontec device combines the functions of a separate modem and a separate router in one package. This type of device is known as a modem/router, or also known as a gateway.
Some folks call a modem/router or a gateway......a modem. So, things can get confusing.
I do not know if it is possible for the Actiontec device that you have to be configured to act as a simple modem.....so the routing functions of the device are completely turned off. (Turning off the wireless on the Actiotec does not turn off the routing function).
If you turn off the wireless on the Actionec, it becomes a modem and a wired router. And that wired router is still in charge of your network.
The guest network feature will not work correctly unless the AirPort is in charge of your network.
My suggestion was for you to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP), if they could supply you with a simple modem. That is all that you need. You don't need two routers....and the Actiontec that you have now is not allowing the guest feature to work correctly.

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?

I have an 2tb time capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi base station can I use this as an external hard drive and use a new airport extreme 802.11ac Wi-Fi for my wifi?

You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

Extended Airport Extreme 802.11ac - Slow Wi-Fi

Hi All..
I have a rather frustrating scenerio here and could do with a few pointers as things arn't going my way
I recently purchased two new AP 802.11ac for my home network, setup as follows: -
Sky Modem 20Mbps
IP 192.168.0.1
DHCP
Ethernet
Airport Extreme 802.11ac (Downstairs) Version 7.7.1
Static IP 192.168.0.20 - Reserved at Modem

DNS 192.168.0.1 - Not sure if this should point to modem, advice here if possible
DNS 8.8.8.8
Running OSX Server 2.2.1 (169)
So.. I understand there are many many factors here but my issues are that the iMac (Server) downloads at the expeteced rate of 19Mbps, however anything on wirless pulls around 4Mbps at best and file transfer between the iMac and Macbook Pro (Wireless) not really happening.. This is also the case for all other clients connected to the Wireless networks (5GHz, 2.5GHz and Guest).. In fact, guest network has no connection at all...
I don't think that any of my devices has the AC ability if that matters..
Further details from 'Option + Wi-Fi Icon' on Macbook Pro :-
PHY Mode 802.11m
Channel 100 (DFS, 5 GHz)
Security: WPA2 Personal
RSSI -70
Transmit Rate: 108
MCS Index: 11
I appreciate this is probably an odd setup, but any help would be appreciated..

Ok... netspeed just resolved itself across the wirless back up ro 19Mbps..
However, file transfer between the iMac and Wireless Macbook is around 5Mbps only, any ideas?
Any feedback on the dns would also be appreciated though!

I just purchased a new airport extreme 802.11ac I set it up and runs fine when i put my mac to sleep i come back and it can not find my airport i have to restart

I PURCHASED THE NEW AIRPORT EXTREME 802.11AC I SET IT UP AFTER I PUT MY MAC TO SLEEP I COME BACK AND IT SAYS CAN NOT FIND AIRPORT EXTREME I HAVE TO RESTART AND IT FINDS IT.

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

AirPort Extreme 802.11ac boosted w/ 802.11n Express?

for the past year or so I have had a perfect set up that has worked wonderfully. It was an airport extreme hardwired to two different airport expresses. I had a perfect set up all three devices had the exact same Wi-Fi name and all three supported 802.11n. So why ruin a good thing? Well here's why…
recently we have obtained some new Apple devices such as new iPhone sixes and also new MacBook air is. All of our new devices are capable of supporting 802.11ac. So now I have decided to purchase the new airport extreme sixth generation which supports this new protocol of 802.11ac.
My question is this, if I have my main airport extreme configured the same way I used to have it, but now I have airport expresses that do not support this new 802.11ac protocol, am I doing myself a disservice? The boosters are located on our third level in the master bedroom where where most of the surfing is done with the newer 802.11ac devices.
with the brand-new sixth generation extreme located in my basement, most of the house is covered however in the furthest rooms, such as the master bedroom, I have an airport express hardwired and functioning fine. But my question is this how can I be sure that the MacBook air is that support 802.11 ac are actually staying connected to the basement brand-new sixth generation airport extreme instead of the closer proximity airport express?
I wish that my airport express is also supported the new protocol so that I can be sure that my entire house is covered by 802.11ac. There's nothing wrong with using 802.11n, but the reason I purchased the new extreme router was to take advantage of the faster and stronger signal of 802.11ac.
The airport expresses that I am running in my house are the newer white ones that looks to be the same shape as an Apple TV. These are not the ones with the FlipOut prongs that plug directly into the wall but instead they are the ones that have a regular power cord and it look like small little hockey pucks. Well, squares versions of hockey pucks that is.
this entire post was verbally dictated using my iPad air, so hopefully I have caught all of my typos or incorrect wording. But I think you can get the general just of my question here. I was hoping I would not need to use the airport expresses to boost the signal, but I think my home might be too big for one single router located centrally in my basement. I have it as Close to the ceiling as I could get it so the second floor is completely covered and most of the upper floor is covered and the entire basement is covered of course. It's just a few rooms that are above the garage and a few further rooms such as kids bedrooms and very important, the master bathroom. We all know how important that is. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me with this issue.

if I have my main airport extreme configured the same way I used to have it, but now I have airport expresses that do not support this new 802.11ac protocol, am I doing myself a disservice?
Yes and no.
Yes, if you want "ac" capable devices in a remote location near the AirPort Expresses to connect at "ac" levels......because they won't.
No, if you need the extra range provided by the Express, and don't mind that the "ac" devices connect at slower "n" speeds through the AirPort Express.
But my question is this how can I be sure that the MacBook air is that support 802.11 ac are actually staying connected to the basement brand-new sixth generation airport extreme instead of the closer proximity airport express?
You can't, if all the AirPorts are producing a signal with the same wireless network name......since the MacBook Air will connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal.....not the AirPort with the fastest signal.
IF....you assigned a different name to the wireless network that the Express devices were creating....then....you could "point" the MacBook Air at the basement AirPort network created by the AirPort Extreme 802.11ac down there.....but chances are, the MacBook Air will never connect at "ac" levels since they are carried on the 5 GHz band, which is much weaker than the 2.4 GHz signals.
In other words, 5 GHz "ac" signals are pretty much "same room" or "line-of-sight" signals. 5 GHz just won't penetrate walls and other obstructions nearly as well as slower, but much stronger 2.4 GHz signals.
The bottom line.....if you want the MacBook Air to connect at "ac" level speeds in the remote location, you will need another AirPort Extreme 802.11ac product in place of at least one AirPort Express, maybe both.

Is it best to extend a Wifi network using Airport Extreme 802.11ac or Express ?

I previously asked this question with a different emphasis here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24347878#24347878
so have re-worded to be more relevant to the subject.
I have a brand new Airport Extreme 802.11ac which I am now using as my network hub and I would like to extend the network wirelessly.
Is there a benefit to extending the network via another Airport Extreme 802.11ac versus a (cheaper) Airport Express ?
I do not have any 802.11ac clients yet, but likely will do within the expected lifespan of the routers and thus would rather buy another Extreme now if it meant extending the best signal strength.
Per my previous post i would ideally extend using my old Edimax BR-6675nD 450Mbps 2.4GHz/5GHz, however this has been problematic and some previous posts imply that mixing Apple and non-Apple routers is not recommended, if this is not correct please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a benefit to extending the network via another Airport Extreme 802.11ac versus a (cheaper) Airport Express ?
Four possible benefits, which may or may not be benefits to you:
1) A second Extreme will extend the faster "ac" speeds of the main AirPort Extreme, while the Express will not.
2) A second Extreme uses Gigabit Ethernet ports....ten times faster than the Express....if you plan to connect devices using an Ethernet connection
3) The USB port on the AirPort Extreme will accept a hard drive while the Express will not
4) The AirPort Extreme has a much better antenna arrangement than the Express, which will provide greater coverage even if "ac" wireless is not used
On the other hand, if you do not need "ac" wireless to be extended, you only plan to use the Express to extend the wireless, and the Express will be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal, then you might save a bit of money going with an AirPort Express.
So, in questions about what would be "best", there are rarely simple answers that apply to all users. The question really is which is "best" for you. Adding another AirPort Extreme would be a no brainer for me, but perhaps not for you.
i would ideally extend using my old Edimax BR-6675nD 450Mbps 2.4GHz/5GHz, however this has been problematic and some previous posts imply that mixing Apple and non-Apple routers is not recommended
It is always the best idea to use products from the same manufactuer for the same purpose throughout the network. Obviously, an Apple AirPort Extreme will be compatible with another AirPort, while a third party device may or may not be.

AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (A1521) iPhone Issue

Hey Everyone,
I purchased my new AirPort Extreme last week and I've been noticing the following problem with my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4):
When connecting via WiFi to my AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (A1521) with firmware 7.7.1, it will eventually stop working after a while for no reason! The problem is that the WiFi signal is still shown as full bars, but with no connection or internet at all! To make it work again, I have to turn off the WiFi on my iPhone then turn it back on.
Is there somethign wrong with the AirPort or my iPhone or with both?!
Thanks everyone!

Read this please, before assuming your AirPort Extreme is broken. The links at the end will likely resolve your issues. First try to rollback your AirPort's firmware to 6.1.1, which should restore your Internet connectivity. If it does, but you'd rather have the most recent upgrade available, follow the steps given in the following links, 6.1.3 should work fine for you then.
After numerous attempts by apple IT reps to persuade me that my modem was somehow the cause of my AirPort Extreme broadcasted WiFi network suddenly losing connectivity after the 6.1.3update, I found the truth that helped me to correct my own problem, and successfully use 6.1.3 rather than the rolled back version 6.1 i had been forced to resort to.
If rolling back your Airport's firmware fixes your connectivity issue, or your dns server has been erased by the update to 6.1.3, I speculate that these links will help you out greatly.
It turned out, that this was A KNOWN ISSUE to Apple! With an actual fix Published by Apple themselves! They've just got it hidden away because they must have wanted to drive me to the brink of insanity. . Luckily for Apple I worked with an amazing rep *(Thelma) who at least acted as if she didn't think I was a crazy person. I found the fix on my own after 16 grueling, redundant and fruitless, hours of troubleshooting (time wasting) with "senior" Apple techs.
Let me tell you, 'I told you so' has never sounded so sweet. (Thelma) was ****** that no one in the company bothered to fill her in on this issue or solution and had her support send me a new AirPort just before I discovered the fix. After the discovery, she told me not to bother sending either back, and apologized for the run around that took up weeks of my life.

Best Cable Modem for Airport Extreme 802.11ac ?

I own an Airport Extreme 802.11ac. I am preparing to purchase a cable modem. I have pretty well selected a - Cisco Model DPC3010 and was wondering if anyone had experience marrying the two?
NOTE: I have heard that though the Motorola Surfboard version (ARRIS / Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0) has been tested with the AE, the modem still drops connections a lot with TWC. Has anyone had similar experiences using that modem?

ISP: I am working with TimeWarnerCable in Clarksburg WV area.
CISCO & TWC: I have already confirmed that the Cicsco router is usable on their network - confirmed through TWC tech support and Amazon product reviews. This is true despite the router not listed on TWC's external and internal approved lists. (The Tech escalated to confirm Amazon review statements that the device could be connected).
CISCO & AE: I am just curious if someone else out there has experience using it with their AE - no matter who is their ISP. Any hiccups? Any thing to watch for? (Thanks in advance)
Note: the Motorola device IS on the TWC approved list, but there are too many reports of frequent dropped internet connections.

WD HDD & Airport Extreme 802.11ac

Just got a Airport Extreme 802.11ac and trying to hook up WD USB 3.0 drive at no avail :-(
It will not show up anywhere but works great connected directly to my MacBook Pro?
Also when using Apple TV 3 to watch a movie, it studders now ans then?
Any help would be apriciated
Cheers

External drive is very limited formats on the AE.. strongly recommend it is GUID partitioned and HFS+ formatted ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
The USB in the AE will not recognise all chipsets due to the limitation of the firmware.. try using a USB hub if you already have the disk setup correctly.

Extending Airport Extreme 802.11ac using Edimax BR-6675

I have a brand new Airport Extreme 802.11ac which I am now using as my network hub.
I would like to extend the network, ideally using my old Edimax BR-6675nD 450Mbps 2.4GHz/5GHz .
I have configured the Edimax as a universal repeater (on 2.4GHz only, the 5GHz signal does not reach the repeater).
I seem to be able to decide whether to create a new name for the extended network or to use the same SSID as the hub uses.
When I created a new SSID for the extension I could connect to it on mobile devices, but could not get any internet access.
I have had more success by keeping the SSID for the extended network the same as on the hub, however sometimes my devices complain that there are two networks with the same name and refuse to connect. In that case re-scanning and re-connecting usually fixes the issue.
This would make me believe that the extension is not working at all, however contradicting that I find that once I can connect I am definitely receiving much better signal strength and throughput than before I added the extender.
Connecting the Edimax by ethernet and using a roaming network is not possible.
I have seen a few articles on here warning against extending networks by combining apple with non-apple products. If that really is my core issue (i.e. that this will never work reliably and I should simply bin my old router and buy another Airport) then is there any benefit of buying a second Airport Extreme over an Express for the extension ? I do not have any 802.11ac clients yet, but likely will do within the hopeful lifespan of the routers and thus would rather buy another Extreme now if it meant extending the best signal strength.
Thanks in advance

Universal repeater can be unreliable.. security is a big bugbear.. setting at the highest level with dissimilar wireless chipsets will often not work.. but it is lucky draw..
Your edimax is Ralink.. the Apple is Broadcom.. bad combo.
Try setting security down to wpa + wpa2 but that can have bad effects on the N wireless in the AE.
If you cannot wire them.. sometimes people can use EOP (homeplug) adapters and they work very well.
I do not have any 802.11ac clients yet, but likely will do within the hopeful lifespan of the routers and thus would rather buy another Extreme now if it meant extending the best signal strength.
I have not tested AC extend wireless on the Apple but I have done it on another identical pair of routers.. the results were disappointing. With range so poor on full AC speed.. the very thing you want to extend will also likely make it extend at poor speed. So the end result is ... you may as well employ a cabler and get a piece of ethernet put in properly.
BTW a second hand extreme will be a lot better than an express.. A gen5 extreme is still an excellent unit and may well have better range than the AC model. You can pick them up in refurbished store in some places or really cheap on ebay if you buy carefully.. The express is really for airplay.. if you don't need airplay you are paying more than the second hand extreme for 10/100 ethernet which will give you slow wireless.

Static IP-ed server with Airport Extreme 802.11ac

Howdy, y'all, In support of an app for remote users, we wanna expose a Win server using a static IP from our cable provider. The ISP has provided us with the static IPs, DNS IPs and a gateway IP. At the moment, the Win server is on a subnet routed by our new Airport Extreme 802.11ac receiving a reserved IP. If I configure the Win server with the static IP settings from the ISP, there's no Internet connectivity because the gateway IP is a different subnet. When I connect the Win server directly to the cable modem and bypass the Airport Extreme, the Win server has Internet connectivity. I suspect that I'll hafta use a separate switch between the cable modem and the Airport Extreme for the Win server. I think that we'll then have departmental Wi-Fi routed by the Airport Extreme. Any other suggestions? Thanks much.

Do you only have a single IP??
If so you cannot give that IP to the win server.. then you have no other network connection.. or internet from other clients.
But you can simply put the Win server with a static LAN ip set via dhcp reservations and then set the win server as the default host.. all packet incoming to the public IP are then passed to the Win Server.
DHCP reservation on the network tab of the airport utility.
Default host is under Network options.
You will still use the AE as main router and set wan to either dhcp which should work fine or the static IP.

Do I need to get all new hardware to enjoy benefits of New Airport Extreme 802.11ac protocol?

Do I need to get all new hardware to enjoy the benefits of new Airport Extreme 802.11ac protocol?

You will need hardware capable of using 802.11ac, which at present is limited to the new MacBook Air models.
