CONNECTING AIRPORT EXTREME TO NON APPLE ROUTR

Hi
I have just upgraded my broandand from NTL cable to BT ADSL.
My emac(in the bedroom) use to be connected to my cable modem and Belkin Router however as the BT line is in the living so is the BT VOYAGER wireless router which can connect to my powerbook G4 and Windows Laptop but my emac has not got internet access. I bought a airport extreme card but the emac would not start up with it inside. So I have taken it back. My question is if I buy a airport extreme base and connect it to my emac via ethernet will it be able to capture the wireless network from my living room enableing my emac to have internet without an exteme card. I hope you guys understand what exactly I am trying to do.

Hi everyone,
Thank you to everyone who answered my question. I now hav another question. Does the Airport extreme base require a mac with a airport extreme card, or can it be connected by erthernet to a mac without the card. Secondly does the base require and additonal modem to attach to or can it plug straight into the dsl line via the filters.
For those of you who know my orginal question. I have found that if I use my telephon extenstion and plug the adsl filter thing into it it will work. However my BT voyager router 2091 (wireless cd-rom) won't install poperly I get to the second stage and it just does not advance. So I want to be able to buy a base plug the base into my emac and dsl line etc. Is that possible please reply asap.
James

  • Airport Extreme Extending Non Apple Wifi

    Hi there, quite simply I want to know if this is possible at all. I have a Wifi network named "XXX WiFi"  being broadcast by a powerful 30km+ antena. I want to know if I can use a Airport Extreme 4th Gen to extend that network inside my home?

    The Apple Extreme transmits a Wi-Fi signal just like any other router - when connecting a wireless device just match the name and password and security type of the Extreme and you should be fine - I have the same mix that you have and everybody is happy - but keep in mind that it works best if the Extreme is your primary router and you use other Apple products to extend your network - Apple products can not extend non Apple routers wirelessly.

    He might be trying to do so to promote his products or may be there was some misunderstanding.
    Airport Extreme will work as a wireless router supporting upto 50 systems including Mac computers, PCs, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV and virtually all 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless devices — all at the same time.

  • AirPort Utility Can't See Extreme via Non-Apple Bridge

    I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station serving my network. Connected to the APExtreme I have a non-Apple brand wi-fi router that's in bridge mode so that a few devices in another room can still get wired network and the upstairs section of the house that's too far from the AirPort can get Wi-Fi via the non-Apple router's Wi-Fi.
    It all works fine and speeds are fast. However, my MacBook Pro is one of the devices hooked up to the non-Apple via wired Ethernet. When I open the AirPort Utility it doesn't see the APEXtreme.
    Is this as expected or should it still be able to find the AirPort through the Bridge? If the latter is true, what's keeping mine from seeing it? Any suggestions?

    You need to spell out the connection.. is this non-apple device connected by ethernet or is it a universal wireless repeater/bridge.
    What is the make and model of the box that is acting as repeater.. also if 3rd party firmware tell us clearly what you are running.
    In most wireless repeater, client bridge setups you have a big problem.. as all clients behind the repeater look like the same device to the main AE. It cannot tell what is who.. and is also likely to have bonjour issues.. which is essential for things like airport utility to work.
    It all works fine and speeds are fast. However, my MacBook Pro is one of the devices hooked up to the non-Apple via wired Ethernet. When I open the AirPort Utility it doesn't see the APEXtreme.
    Try a manual access. Find the IP of the AE.. from something that is plugged into it.. if normal default router mode it will show, 10.0.1.1
    In airport utility have you
    1. Changed over to ethernet.. nothing will show without doing this.. it always defaults to wireless. In an extremely odd way ethernet devices are shown under Other Wi-Fi Devices.. isn't that completely obvious!!
    2. Ensure you have ipv6 set on ethernet to link-local only.
    3. If nothing shows up do it even more manually and type in the address you already discovered.
    No password is needed if defaults.. but also type in your access password if you changed it.
    You should then get the full summary screen.

  • Airport extreme and express & apple TV

    I have an airport extreme and express & apple TV. I'd like to do the following:
    1) Extend the network via the express
    2) Enable the express to stream music to the stereo from the apple TV
    I am sure someone has figured this out but I can't find the answer...
    Thank you

    Firstly, the easiest bit (although I don't believe you need to do this):
    I would try "downgrading" the Extreme station's network type to only b/g (excluding n entirely), but I don't see that option in the radio settings anymore
    You will get additional settings if you hold down the option key while browsing the radio settings drop down menu.
    Moving on: Unfortunately a dropped connections seems to be a problem with umpteen causes and not only is it difficult to troubleshoot with someone in a forum it can also be made even more difficult because many problems are associated with network settings on a router that the person who is trying to help is unfamiliar with.
    However you seem to be convinced your problems arise when your express is running which may narrow things down a little if correct, if not it may actually lead us away from the answer to your issue.
    Is it the kind of security I'm running? Should I try WEP or... none at all?
    I use WPA and have no problems (password = 8 Characters)
    Should I attach it a different way? Perhaps manually set it to "participate in a WDS network" or "extend a wireless network?
    I have my expresses set to participate in a WDS network, but that's because I use them for other things other than itunes, I would have thought 'join a network' would be fine.
    You could check that all your devices are using independent IP addresses and all are using the same subnet. You could also check that no two devices have the same mac address, I've been told a million times this can't happen, but I've seen it. You may be wise to check these things before and after your devices have been 'kicked off the network", you may even want to write them down to see if any are changing.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is it worthwhile to buy the airport extreme for non intel

    I currently am using an airport express for my home network and want to use it on my home stereo(upstairs) so we can play music from itunes. So I need to buy another airport for downstairs. Will I get any benefit from the extreme or should I just get another express?

    idadof3, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I think iFelix provided a very good answer in your other thread "Is it worthwhile to buy the airport extreme for non intel".

  • Airport Express Extending non-Apple AP

    For something that "just works", the Airport series is a real mess if not every single device you own is the most recent Apple product. Thanks Apple.
    Anywho, before complaining too much, I'd like to set my problem.
    We currently have a main Airport Extreme (lets call it AEX) that is connected to some switches. We also have 3 Airport Expresses, for extending our network and AirPlay for 3 stereos throughout the house. Now, our outter most Airport Express (lets call it AE3) only receives a faint signal or none at all. So I set up a D-Link DIR-615 (lets call it DL) to work as an AP and extend our wireless network, to give the AE3 a decent signal. Now apparantly Apple managed to only let devices extend a network if the network that it is extending comes from another Apple router. Very nifty. Very user friendly. Since everybody uses all Apple devices. Practical.
    Of course D-Link != Apple, so AE3 can't extend the wireless signal created by DL (connected directly via LAN to AEX). However, I can set up AE3 to only receive the signal of DL. Works fine! No extension of the network unforunately - but at least it works.
    Now for the real issue - another Airport Express (lets call this one AE2) is also in the zone of DL. When the signal of AEX get's weaker or AEX is updated and offline for a second, it somehow pairs with DL instead of AEX. Since AE2 is set up to extend the network and not only receive - since that's what they are made for - this forms errors.
    Is there really no way to let it extend even if the signal they are receiving is from DL? I just can't understand how hard it can be. Since we have already been forced to buy a AEX along with our AE's (since we had no clue a full-Apple-network was required for AirPlay), I'd like to avoid buying yet another Airport Express to make a signal cross the room.
    Now that I'm ranting anyway, I'd like to express (no pun intended) my dissatisfaction with following issues Apple is causing.
    First off, the Airport Utility for Windows hasn't been updated in a long time. It isn't available on all versions of Windows either. On top of that, the new version requires iOS6/7, thus making a first gen iPad really not that useful for network configuration.
    Secondly, my compliments to Apple to not make the AEX support NTFS for external hard drives. BRILLIANT move there. I really do want to use FAT16/32 on a 1TB hard drive, so practical for my large files! No I kid, Mac OS Extended is of course better use for a hard drive that big, surely since all the computers in house are Windows. The joy's of using Apple products never ends does it! I understand they want to keep everything all-Mac, but selling routers one does expect somewhat compatibility with non-Apple stuff.

    Is there really no way to let it extend even if the signal they are receiving is from DL?
    Unless you want to use a wired connection between Apple and non-Apple routers the extend feature of Apple routers only works with other Apple routers. This is really no different with the other router manufacturers whether it is D-Link, Belkin, Linksys, etc.
    (since we had no clue a full-Apple-network was required for AirPlay)
    That's not entirely true. One of the requirements for AirPlay is a network, either wired or wireless. The networking hardware that makes up that network does NOT have to be comprised of any Apple products.
    For example, since AirPlay requires at least three things: 1) iTunes "server," 2) Network, and 3) AirPlay "speaker," you could have a fully functional AirPlay streaming with the following devices:
    iTunes "server": Synology NAS
    Network: A wireless network based on D-Link hardware.
    AirPlay "speaker: Denon AVR-991
