Connecting airport extreme to home theater

I was told you could connect your airport extreme to your theater and play music for you imac
wirelessly.. Does anyone know to do this or where I can find
info .
Thanks

You have confused the AirPort Express (AX) and the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
The AX has an audio output and has the ability to receive music streamed from iTunes on your computer. Checkout http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
The AEBS does not have an audio output.

  • How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows

    How do I connect airport extreme to seagate hard drive using windows?

    First the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) cannot share out an external HDD attached to its USB port unless it is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT16/32. It will not work if the HDD is formatted in either NTFS or ExFAT.
    If the HDD is formatted properly, when you access the AEBS with the AirPort Utility, does the HDD show up properly on the Disks tab of the utility?
    If it does, then you would access the HDD as any other network share, using the following format: //servername/sharename. In the case of the AirPort Disk (a HDD attached to the USB port of either an Extreme or Time Capsule), the "servername" would be the Extreme's Base Station Name, and the "sharename" would be the volumename of the HDD.

  • Connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to air card

    How do you connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to Verizon Air Card?

    Sorry, but the Air Card cannot be used with the USB port on the AirPort Extreme because that port will only work with a hard drive and/or a printer.
    Suggest that you check with Verizon to see if they have an adapter or wireless router for the Air Card that will provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Cable needed to connect airport extreme?

    How do I connect airport extreme to older speakers which are connected to older receiver amp? Do I need USB to radio jack? Have Itunes on IMAC , os 10.4.11. I know I need to update os sy to 10.5. I have new Iphone. I want to use remote app to send music to speakers.

    There is not an audio port on the AirPort Extreme, so it cannot be used to stream audio per your question.
    An AirPort Express will do the job.

  • Wifi connection AirPort Extreme with IP-camera

    I can't establish wifi connection Airport Extreme with IP-camera. At the same time cable connection is fine, but wifi not.
    Please, give me an advise.

    You need to create a wireless network on the AirPort Extreme, and then you probably will want to assign a compatible static LAN IP address to the camera so that you can port-forward from the router to the camera.

  • Connect Airport Extreme to existing router without ethernet cable

    I am looking to connect my Airport Extreme to an existing router without the use of the ethernet cable.  The existing router is on the ground floor whilst I would like to install the Airport Extreme in the first floor to improve WiFi range on the 1st floor.  I am able to connect Airport Extreme to the router with the ethernet cable (in which case both the devices have to be close to one another on the ground floor) but unable to get Airport Extreme set up without the ethernet cable.  Is it possible to connect Airport Extreme to the existing router on a non-wired basis (i.e. without the ethernet cable) and if yes, how would be I able to do it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The AirPort Extreme can connect wirelessly.....IF.....your existing router is also another Apple router.
    Is that the case here?  If yes, what model number is your existing Apple router?
    If no, you will need to continue to connect the AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.

  • Connecting AirPort Extreme

    I just received my new AirPort Extreme and would like to know how to get it to work with my Verizon Fios router, replacing the WiFi function of the router with the AE. I have the Airport Utility installed on my pathetic Windows 8 PC and on my iPad Air. I got to the point of setting up the network using my iPad but cannot connect to the internet. I had the WAN O port on the AE connected to the WAN port on the VZ router. Should it have been connected to one of the multiple LAN ports on the VZ router? I understand that I have to set the AE to bridge mode but cannot get to that menu. I am not going to do anything more until I get some knowledgeable help so I don't screw anything up. I also know that I have to turn of the wifi on the VZ router. Any help with getting this thing up an running would be appreciated.

    We can help on the setup of the AirPort Extreme, but Verizon uses a number of different modem/routers and the setup and configuration of each model will differ, so you will need to enlist the help of Verizon support to get the wireless function turned off on the Verizon router.
    Please start over on the AirPort Extreme and disconnect any Ethernet cables that might be attached to the device, then perform a Hard Reset to clear out the old settings and get the product back to a known default condition.
    To do that, power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button on the back of the devices for 8-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to slow, blinking amber light status.
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the several LAN <--> ports on the Verizon router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
    On the iPad home screen......tap Settings....then tap WiFi
    Tap on AirPort Extreme under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station
    AirPort Utility will open and take a minute to analyze the setup, then suggest that the AirPort Extreme be configured to create a wireless network. You will see picture of the AirPort Extreme at this time....not an AirPort Express in the image posted below.
    We will post a screenshot of the window that will appear at this time, but Apple has been having difficulty with screenshot attachments on their community support forums of late, so you may or may not see an image appear below:
    For Network Name.......Enter a short, simple name of 8-12 characters or so that you want to call your AirPort Extreme wireless network
    For Base Station.......Enter a short simple name that you want to call the AirPort Extreme
    For Password.......Enter a password that will be used for both the wireless network and base station
    For Verify.......Type in the password again
    Tap Next
    The utility will set up everything for you and correctly assign the correct Bridge Mode settings to allow the AirPort Extreme to work with the Verizon router.
    When you see the message of Setup Complete, tap Done.  That's it.
    You should now be able to select the wireless network that you named and enter the password to connect.

  • Connecting airport extreme to macbook and windows 7 desktop

    Hello,
    I currently connect my macbook to the internet via airport extreme wifi.  I tried to also connect my windows 7 desktop to the airport via ethernet, but the PC is saying I have no internet connection.  Are there any configuration / settings  I need to adjust in windows 7 to allow me to connect properly?  I am a novice when it comes to home networking.
    Thanks

    Does your Desktop also have wireless? If so, Windows 7 configures wireless by default. You may need to set up the wired LAN settings in Windows 7. This is a guess because the several times I've installed Windows 7 on my Mac Pro it always set up the wireless by default. Until I removed the wireless setup it wouldn't let me connect via Ethernet. Apparently Windows 7 gives priority to wireless.
    I'm no Windows 7 expert but this has been my observation.

  • Connecting Airport Extreme Base Station and HiTron CGN3

    A recent installation of Internet/CableTV services by Rogers.ca replaced my Airport Extreme Base Station WiFi network with one based on the Hitron CGN3 Cable Modem/Router.  Many of the WiFi enabled evices in the home were switched to the new network without too much hassle. However, my multiple NEST CO/Fire alarms failed to connect and after some hunting I established that the CGN3, although apparently ipv6 'compatible' has this protocol not enabled.  There is no input facility in the modem setup to activate the protocol.  The importer of the device seems to have chosen to not respond to such tech issues.
    It now comes down to either using the CGN3 as a Modem/WiFi server or extending the network to include the Airport Extreme on the CGN3 (don't know how to do that) or vice versa, extending the Airport network to include the CGN3 (don't know how either). 
    QUESTION:
    Does anyone have any idea on how to make the Airport Extreme and HiTron Modem/Router function together since the Extreme has the ipv6 protocol enabled and NEST (and other 'Internet of Things') devices will reconnect, no problem.
    More Info:
    The only reason for the CGN3 to remain as a WiFi server is its range which seems to cover the required service area with a more powerful, stable signal than the Airport.  That is somewhat important since TV services come over the Internet and mobile devices apps available from the Apple store can be used as very capable program guides/selectors and remotes for the HDPVR and secondary HD boxes that feed the TVs, eliminating a remotes collection and associated programming and infra-red transmission hassles.  I believe the Cable boxes would accept getting the TV signals from the CGN3 and function commands from the Airport Extreme networks. That remains to be proven.  Level 2 Technicians at Rogers and NEST Labs have looked at this and can't access the CGN3's ipv6 function to activate it.  They don't know much about the Airport Express.
    Second Thought:
    On the other hand, a second apple Airport base station would extend the network range to rival the CGN3 and the WiFi function of the CGN3 could be turned off.  I tried to connect the two routers by LAN cable but they don't seem to see each other and I don't know enough about network settings to get any further. 

    Whichever airport you use.. express or extreme doesn't matter much..
    It should be setup in bridge mode. Plug an ethernet cable from LAN port on the CGN3 to WAN port on the Apple router.
    Go into the airport utility and run through the setup. Don't be too worried if it chooses the wrong setup.. you can go back and edit it after the setup is complete.
    You will want to open the Edit.
    Then go to the various tabs to ensure it is setup the way you want..
    On the Network tab.. bridge mode.
    On the wireless tab, create a wireless network.
    I recommend you use names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg AEwifi In my case with Time Capsule I use separate wireless names for the two bands. TC24ghz and TC5ghz but that is up to you.. it can make life easier.. then set channels can also make things easier.
    Ensure your IPv6 is setup correctly.
    The actual internet option will be dhcp.
    You will have two wireless networks.. but both will use the CGN3 as router.. the airport if it worked in the past should work. Even if it is not the dhcp server. BUT let me add there is another way to fix this if this setup doesn't work.. please post back your result.. no luck then I will show you how to setup a static IP with the Apple router.

  • Wireless connection airport extreme base station to dsl modem

    Attempting to set up a home network through an old Airport Extreme Base Station.  My old DSL modem (AT&T's 2 Wire Gateway) has one enthernet port that is taken up, and I want to know if there is a way to connect the DSL modem wirelessly to the AEBS.  I have a laptop PC, my wife has a MacBook, and a Mac Mini is connected to the HDTV.  Currently, the AEBS is only connected to a printer, and all computers can connect to it fine.  Want to home netweork for back up files, and to share movies, music and vidoes.  Just want to work with the equipment I have and not buy a new modem.

    Sorry, but no. You will not be able to connect the AEBS by wireless to the DSL wireless gateway to get the results you are looking for. Instead, you could either connect it directly to the gateway's Ethernet port, and then, connect whatever was connected to the gateway to the AEBS instead, OR connect an Ethernet switch to the Gateway, and in turn, connect the AEBS to the switch.

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to my new iMac so that AE is used for network and TC only used for Time Machine backup?

    I didn't realize that Time Capsule will only support the print function of a wireless multifunction printer.  So I want to use Extreme for my network to have full use of my printer and use TC as the Time machine backup only.  How to I make the connections?

    Thanks for your response and this is getting complicated but I just purchased a new iMac as well as the Airport TC.  I've had the Airport Extreme for a year or so.  The Airport Extreme worked perfectly with my old iMac wirelessly and I had all functions of my printer with no problems.  I was expecting the same with the TC.  But the instruction that came with TC say to connect the printer to the TC via USB...which I did.  And the print function worked perfectly but nothing else.  In researching I discovered that when wired that way the TC only supports the print function...not scan or fax or anything else.  I tried going wireless since my AE worked perfectly via wireless but I got no printer functions at all that way.  But I'm wondering also if I tried that during a time I was having other issues...I had to delete and re-add my printer which solved some other problems.  I may try that again...and see if I can get all print functions with just the TC connected
    As far as connecting both your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule on your network, we're not clear on exactly how you want to do this.  Will the AirPort Extreme connect to your modem using an Ethernet cable and the Time Capsule connect to the AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet cable?.......or......do you want the Time Capsule to connect to the network using wireless?
    Well... first of all I would like not to have to use the AE at all...I would prefer using just my TC for network, all print functions and Time Machine backup if that's possible. My printer will not accept Ethernet connections (Canon MX512).
    After failing at getting this to work, I decided I would try to use my AE for net and print functions and just use my TC for Time Machine backup.  I tried several different connection configurations with no success until finally I connected cable modem to my AE via Ethernet and went wireless with the AE and printer. but connected the AE to the TC via Ethernet and amazingly everything worked like a charm (for a while) and I was patting myself on the back for being so smart.  But now I find that the connection only lasts for a short time.  If I leave it for a while the TC goes invisible...or at least I see a message saying the Ethernet is unplugged...but it is not... and I lose internet connection even though I have a green light on my AE. So now I'm at a loss. I don't know why I keep losing network signal and why my system thinks the Ethernet is unplugged.
    So... after all this...I figured I wasn't so smart after all and I must have things wired incorrectly.
    So... it sounds like you are saying I should go back and try again to get my new TC to work as I want it to via wireless instead of connecting via USB...is that correct?  Could you tell me exactly how I should wire my equipment from cable modem to AE and/or TC to achieve net capability, full functions of my printer and Time Machine backup...
    Thanks...

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme to XBox 360 live

    I just bought an Airport Extreme to use as my wireless router.  Everything connected beautifully EXCEPT my all in one HP Printer and my XBOX 360.  If I manually enter the settings, I can connect but only for a minute or 2.  Once my son starts using xbox LIVE, the connection gets dropped.  All instructions I can find must be for older utilities.  I eventually plugged in my old G Router into an open LAN port on the back of the Airport Extreme and got my printer working when connecting to the old network ID but still can't get XBOX 360 to connect and stay connected.  Any help is appreciated. 

    Ok, thanks for the update. Do you have the Xbox connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet (wire) or by wireless? If wireless, temporarily connect it by Ethernet to verify that you can get connectivity via this method.
    If you were using wireless, which of the following is the wireless adapter that you are using?
    802.11g or
    802.11n?

  • How can I connect airport extremes using a wired-switch connection and have roaming capability?

    My goal is to have 2 airport extremes and 1 timecapule connected via an ethernet switch so that I can enable roaming. I have no problems connecting them wirelessly where I create the wireless network on a primary airport wireless then add the others "extending" the network. However, if I attempt to do the same thing with a wired connection everything stops working (no connections from any airport). Here's the topology I'm trying to achieve. I believe my problem relates to the switch and the fact that I am serving up DHCP from a separate server. Is there a way I can achieve this (or similar) type of configuration? Thanks in advance.
    BTW, I have read the various documents on the roaming network topology  but none seem to be a match to this.

    To answer your question, yes, if I _only_ have the main "create wireless network" airport connected/wired to the switch, everything works correctly.
    OK, got that.
    Also, if I have each of the 3 airports/timecapsule "create wireless network" using the same ssid name and passwd/protocol, everything works correctly (but of course, no roaming under this scenario
    Sorry, you have me confused on this one. When the AirPorts are all configured to "create a wireless network", use the same SSID, security and password, and all AirPorts are in Bridge Mode........that is the exact definition of a "roaming" network.
    Not sure what you mean when you say "no roaming" in this configuration.
    Also, if I have the main "create wireless network" configured and have the 2 other airports "extend the network" and _not_ have them connected via the ethernet cable, everything works correctly (wireless airport interconnection)
    That is correct.
    However, if I plug the 2 other "extend the network" airports into the switch via ethernet, all connectivity shuts down.
    This is not a correct setup. The "extend" setting on the AirPort assumes that they will connect using wireless.  If you then try to connect an Ethernet cable to an AirPort that is expecting a wireless connection, that will result in a big feedback loop and effectively crash the network.
