Connecting AirPort Extreme to my Windows desktop PC and MacBook

First I'd like to mention that I'm a brand new user of Macs so please excuse my ignorance. Is it at all possible to hook up my Windows PC and my Macbook Pro to the Airport Extreme so they can both share the same internet connection? I'm also pretty sure my Windows desktop PC is NOT Wifi ready. Help...thanks.
Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Yes you can connect your PC via ethernet and your MBP can connect through ethernet or WiFi.

    (maybe not at the same time, but e.g. a mobile use while photographing and later finishing the pics on my desktop?)

  • Connecting Airport Extreme to wired Windows

    I'm interested in getting the new Airport Extreme, but I was curious how it is for connecting to Windows via ethernet. I'm specifically talking about Windows 98. Is the Airport Extreme like any typical router when it comes to the ethernet connections?

    Hi nemesis_256,
    The Airport works like most routers when sharing the Internet, in that it supplies an IP address to the wired and wireless clients dynamically. To configure the Airport you will need a Macintosh computer with OS 10.4.8 or later, or a windows machine with Windows XP service pack 2 or later.

  • How do i install airport extreme on a windows pc and route it to another windows desktop?

    How do I install airport extreme into a windows desktop pc and then successfully route it to another windows desktop?

    The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is an Internet router that supports both wired and wireless network clients. You can connect both of your desktop, using either media, to the AEBS for network connectivity.

  • 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.

  • How to access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    How can I access a USB disk drive connected to Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 PC?

    ...Called it a roaming network.  Wireless mode is create a wireless network. I have checked allow this network to be extended.  Probably need to uncheck that?
    Yes, that option should be deselected as it only pertains to when both routers are interconnected by wireless. Since you have a roaming network, they of course, would be interconnected by Ethernet.
    The other important settings for a roaming network are:
    Each router must have a unique station name. For the AirPort, this would be called its Base Station Name. I believe the default station name for Linksys routers is: linksys
    Each router must broadcast a wireless network with an identical Network Name. For the Linksys, Network Name is the same as its SSID.
    Each router wireless network must use the same Wireless Security type and password. The Linksys WRT-54G is capable of up to WPA2 Personal. If you have it set to this level of security, the AirPort should be at the same setting.
    Make sure that each router is not on the same Radio Channel for the 2.4 GHz radio. In the US, there are basically only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, or 11. Set each so that they don't use the same channel but use of those three choices.

  • How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

  • AirPort Extreme Drivers for Windows XP???

    This may be a very silly question, but I've got a new Mac Pro that will be arriving in two days and I couldn't help but wonder, "How will the AirPort Extreme WiFi card be able to connect to the Internet when I'm running Windows XP from a separate hard drive using Boot Camp?
    The Internet connection in my apartment is wireless only (coming from a router upstairs in my landlord's part of the house). Are there any AirPort Extreme drivers for Windows XP? If so, I have not been able to find anything online.
    Any suggestions on how to do this?
    Thanks,
    ~Greg

    Thanks for the info Stefan,
    However, I don't think that the Macintosh driver CD will do me any good in this case because I am not planning on running the 32 bit version of Windows XP. I will be installing XP64 tomorrow once my CD arrives in the mail.
    I've heard of quite a few people who are currently running XP64 on their Mac Pro's, but I'm also pretty sure that the driver CD created by Boot Camp will only work in Windows XP 32-bit.
    If ANYONE knows of a work around for installing macintosh drivers for my super drive and airport extreme, PLEASE let me know, because I will most certainly need to be able to use my wireless card and keyboard (especially for the CD tray)
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme to U-verse Internet Gateway: Motorola Model NVG510

    I tried to set up a new network with the Airport Extreme and get no Internet connectivity from the AT&T gateway.  The Extreme network sets up fine and I can access it from all my devices, but no Internet.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Mick Jones

    It will only take a minute to check the Ethernet cable. Just connect it from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to  the Ethernet port on a computer. Turn off the wireless on the computer and see if you can get a good Internet connection that way.
    If you can, great. You cannot, then you either have a bad Ethernet cable or the port on the gateway may not be working correctly.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme for a few minutes
    Then, hold in the reset button on the AirPort Extreme for 10-12 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <-> port on the Uverse gateway to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click AirPort Extreme
    The utility will open up automatically, take a minute to analyze things, then suggest that the AirPort will be configured to create a new network.  The window will look like the example below, except that you will see an AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express.
    Network Name......type in a short, simple name that you want to call your wireless network
    Base Station Name.....type in a short, simple name that you want to use to identify the AirPort Extreme
    Password......type in a password that will be used for both the Base Station and Wireless Network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    You should have a green light on the AirPort Extreme in a minute or two, and you should be able to log on to the new network and get an Internet connection.

  • Connecting Airport Extreme N to Time Capsule via ethernet to extend wireles

    Hi, I currently have 2 Airport Extreme N and a Time capsule and would like to connect all three together. I am planning to use the time Capsule as the router and then use the other airport extreme to extend the wireless network. I am planning to have ethernet connection between the three devices ie Airport extreme N (A) is connected to time capsule via ethernet and airport extreme N (B) is connected to time capsule via another ethernet.
    I have tried the Extend Wireless network option to connect them, but that seems to generate so much traffic between the airport extreme N and the time capsule that the network is not usable. I have also tried using WDS but that didn't seem to work.
    The three wireless networks have some areas of overlap but the signal is weak which is why i prefer to link them up with ethernet.
    What is the best wall to configure them? should I set them up so that they're each creating a wireless network but with the same name? Or is there a better solution? Thanks!

    It seems to me the easiest way is to have the Airport Extreme connect to internet using Ethernet, using DHCP and the Connection sharing in off (bridge mode) and then create a new wireless network with the same name... Is that correct? I have previously ran the apple wizard and it did something weird with the network and then both the time capsule and the airport extreme are serving out IP address and both of them have the same IP address 10.0.1.1. which then messes up everything...
    Any ideas? thanks!

  • 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?

    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.
