Connecting Airport Extreme to Siemens Gigaset SE567

I have an airport extreme on it's way. Currently I'm using a Siemens Gigaset SE567 modem/router. Do I just connect the AP Extreme to the Siemens? Will that modem slow my Internet speed.

I believe your BT 1800 is a gateway, a combination modem & wireless router. The AEBSn, like all AirPorts, does not have a built-in modem, so reversing these two devices won't work...sorry. However, you could attach the AEBSn, via Ethernet to the BT 1800, and then configure it as a bridge so that it performs like a wireless access point.

  • 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.

  • Regaining Airport connection with WEP and Siemens Gigaset

    After loosing connection with MBP and Macbook and latest security- and Airport updates, reinstalling of IO80211Family.kext vers.1.5.1 helped.
    It's included in Airport Extreme Update 2007 001.
    Extracted it with Pacifist and copied it the Extensions folder.(as root)
    Important!!
    Repairing permissions and reboot.
    Took me two days to find out.
    Maybe it helps for other third party routers too.
    Intel MacMini works with all latest updated. (so far)

    Can anyone talk me though what to do since I know very little about wireless networking. I am quite prepared to buy a new wireless adaptor for the PC, but don't want to buy something that isn't going to work.
    Unfortunately, you didn't provide much information about your PC or the current external wireless adapter to be of much help. WPA was first supported with WinXP w/SP1; which OS is your PC running? Likewise, early versions of wireless adapters only supported WEP. What is the make/model of yours? Does your PC support PC cards, PCI cards (internal), and/or USB devices?

  • Airport Express and Siemens Gigaset SE551

    Hello,
    is anybody out there who has experience with the Siemens Gigaset SE551 and airport express?
    My problem: i am able to get airport express to work but only for one time. When i end the connection and try to connect again (via itunes for example) i always get an airport express error message (something like "...could not be found").
    Would be interesting to hear if anybody has ever managed to get these two guys to work together.
    Thanks in advance!

    A Follow-up Question: Should I install the Airport admin software on PC, if I administer AE from my mac? Does the CD install some drivers or such on Windows-machine, which are needed for a reliable connection...?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Connecting airport extreme, netgear dsl modem, windows 7, and Macbook pro

    I'm having a problem connecting my airport extreme to my netgear modem, windows 7 pc and my Macbook Pro.  Until a few days ago, I had a Westell wireless dsl modem and everything worked fine.  Now, the only way I can connect to the internet is through my desktop pc and the hardwired modem.

    If your goal is to extend/boost the range of your Netgear router with either or both of the AirPorts, this will not work wirelessly ... at least, not completely by wireless. That is because, WDS is not standard and each manufacturer has had creative license to implement it as they see fit for their products.
    Instead, you have at least two other choices to use the Netgear (as the main Internet router) with the AirPorts:
    Connect one AirPort directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network. In this configuration, you would be running two separate wireless networks; one created by the Netgear, and the second the extended network created by the AirPorts.
    Connect both AirPorts directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure all of the routers for a roaming network. In this configuration, there would be a "single" wireless network where wireless network clients can literally roam from one router to another and still be on the "same" wireless network.
