Difference 4th and 5th generation AirPort Extreme

Hello
what exactly is the difference between the 4th and the 5th generation AirPort Extreme?

I understand. You really have two options at this point:
Add another Express near the stereo and configure it to "join" the wireless network, assuming that you have the "mid-point" Express configured to "Extend a wireless network".
Connect your single AirPort Express using an Ethernet connection. If you cannot run the EThrnet cable, take a look at a pair of Ethernet power line adatpers to send the Ethernet signal over the AC power lines in your home.

  • My internet speed is super slow with wifi. I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme

    I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme and a 2nd generation Airport Express as an extender. I have Xfinity as my broadband provider and live in a decent size condo. In the last two months, the speed through my wifi has been horrible. In most cases, I can only get 2mpbs download and barely 1mpbs upload. The hard line connection through my iMac gives me 150mpbs download and 50+mpbs upload consistently.  I've reset my routers and check for the latest software. I'm wondering if the interference from my neighbors wifi signals are to blame. Can someone please help me in restoring some decent speed with my wifi network?

    It's entirely possible that the problem is interference, although resetting the Airports should force them to search for and lock in on the clearest channel available to minimize that.
    Start by simplifying the network. Shut off the Express. Test while connected to the Extreme via WiFi. How's the performance? Can you ping the hard wired iMac from the Wireless network?

    How can I have Hebrew titles song in iPod nano (4th and 5th generation) ?

    The tech specs say Hebrew is supported

    The ID3 tags have to be in Unicode, however, otherwise you will probably just see junk latin.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • Where can I find a power supply for 2nd - 5th Generation Airport Extreme?

    I have an Airport Extreme that needs a power supply and cord.   Where can I purchase one?  Is this something Apple sells separately?  Or, if someone could supply the part numbef for their power supply that could aid in my search, that would be great.  I have a 4th generation AirPort Extreme that needs one.  Thanks!

  • 5th Generation Airport Extreme - Wifi Slow, dropping connections

    I just upgraded my 2nd generation Airport Extreme to a refurbished 5th generation I purchased from Apple.com
    I duplicated the configuration of the old one, as I have a static IP address and what not from my ISP. Also, I have a few port mappings for outside access. Everything plugged in via ethernet, seems to be working without issue.
    Everything wireless, which is to say - a Roku, a desktop/all in one, 3 laptops, 4 smartphones, and a tablet are not working as expected. Oddly enough, they are slow to resolve. For example, going to www.yahoo.com took nearly 20 seconds to resolve. At first I thought it was a DNS service issu, and changed to another set of DNS servers (went from Level 3 to another provider, just to test)..... same thing. Also, computers would also go from connected to "limited connectivity".
    Network is a mixed bag Windows 7, 8, and OS X, same with phones, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android, tablet is webOS or something. Everything is at least 802.11 n compatible.
    In my Wireless Settings of Airport Utility I have this configured:
    Radio Mode: Automatic - manual 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n
    Radio Channel Selection - 149 5ghz and 1 2.4 ghz
    Security, wpa2
    Wireless Network Options: unchecked is 5ghz network name
    Multicast = low
    Country = USA
    Transmit power = 100%
    WPA group key timeout = 60 seconds
    I unchecked use wide channels, and create a closed network is not checked.
    Now, I have a older airport express (I think it's 3rd gen) that I use in a plug that borders my living room / kitchen to extend the network. Nothing peculiar is configured on that thing other than the default network extension settings.
    At the moment, it is unplugged, as I was using inSSIDer to make sure my network was configured to the right channels compared to what my neighbors were doing. Everyone else is on 6 or 12, and there are no 5ghz channels in range.
    Does anyone know what might be causing the horrific resolution times on my Macbook Pro... it's pretty awful, loading your average websites takes far more time over wifi than over ethernet (also tested this).
    Really, nothing changed except some 'newer' hardware was added, the 5th gen airport. Any help is appreciated!

    Ok i have a relatively new Extreme and here is what i see on 5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz.
    This happens frequently - the 5 GHz wireless connection drops, slows way down, or just does not connect.
    I reassociate to 2.4GHz and viola, works perfectly.  This is with 7.7.2 firmware.

    I just did this and was about to post it when i saw this original post.  This has been a CONSTANT problem with my Airport Extreme since I bought it....   in general 5 GHz coverage pretty much ***** in my house - a two story wood frame house - and its very flaky... very unpredictable. 
    I suspect the hardware myself... and i work in the wifi tech business...
    Message was edited by: Mark Ennamorato1   AND i just was switching back and forth to 5GHz again..im 60 feet away in another room on the same floor, and Airport Utility (yet another piece of junk software but that's another discussion...) cannot even FIND the A.E....until i switch back to 2.4 GHz... clearly this thing is in a bad state right now for some unknown reason
    Message was edited by: Mark Ennamorato1  oops wow...Airport Utility actually saw the AE after about a minute on 5 GHz...  finds it in about 1 second on 2.4 GHz.

  • What are the differences between a 2nd generation Airport Extreme and a 5th generation other than dual band capability?

    I have a 2nd generation and want to replace it with a 5th generation. Will it be worth it? Other than the dual band capability of the 5th gen, what is the advantage?

    The 2nd Gen AirPort will support wireless speeds up to about 270-300 Mbps. The 5th Gen will go up to 400-450 Mbps.
    But, not sure why you are looking at a 5th Gen AirPort when the Gen 6 runs circles around the Gen 5 in terms of speed capability and antenna performance. The 6th Gen antennas are up at the top of the tower for significantly better transmission capability and there are more of them as well.
    With an "ac" capable computer the 6th Gen will get up to 900-1,000 Mbps. Otherwise, it will come in at 400-450 Mbps with a fairly up to date Mac.
    The 6th Gen would be, and is a "no brainer" for me over the 5th Gen, but you may have your reasons.
    Apple tends to introduce new models in June of most years, so if you are not in a rush, you will likely have an even better offering soon.

  • Extremely slow speeds on Windows Computers with 5th Generation AirPort Extreme

    I just got a new refurbished AirPort Extreme 5th generation. Everything works great for all of my OS X devices and iOS Devices. I am getting my ISPs speeds when doing tests. The issue is when I am using Windows devices. My roommate has a desktop and a netbook and both are getting extremely slow speeds. Speeds like .07Mbps down. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?

    You have no large file?? Really.. in the whole computer there is not a windows update file.. a backup file... a movie download file.. nothing.. ??
    Anyway that is irrelevant.. the issue is wireless.
    Download the latest drivers from the wireless manufacturer.
    You will need to find out what wireless card is used and locate the correct download for that model.
    On the Airport it is well worth doing the following tests.
    1. Change the name to SMB standard.. short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    So if your wireless name is Fred Blog's Airport Extreme wireless
    Plesae change it to AEwifi
    2. Take off all security for a test.
    3. Set channels.. I am guessing the computers are only using 2.4ghz, so set 11,6, 1 in that order.
    No improvement.. just put the security back to WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password..
    Try and test new drivers and use no firewalls on the computer.. ensure that the computer is correctly set for home network.
    Beyond that it is just incompatible.

  • 4th and 5th generation not compatible with firewire charger

    I recently upgraded my first generation ipod (40gb) with a fifth gen ipod nano. My question is why should I have to pay for a new charger for the ipod? I want an alternative to always having to charge my ipod with my computer. I have the plug with my original ipod that has the firewire attachment but was told that Apple has weaned away from firewire hookups. I understand that things change over time but I don't feel that I should have to pay for a new one when I already have one. I'd be willing to send this plug into Apple in exchange for a new one. I'm am extremely frustrated and angry if I have to pay for a new plug.

    question is why should I have to pay for a new charger for the ipod?
    You don't have to pay anything.
    Charge it via the USB on the computer.
    I'd be willing to send this plug into Apple in exchange for a new one.
    Say, I've got an old iPod. It doesn't do video but I'd be willing to send it to Apple in exchange for a new one.
    Whatya' think?
    I'm am extremely frustrated and angry if I have to pay for a new plug.
    Again, you don't have to. But if you want a new charger, you will have to purchase one unless someone is willing to give you one.

  • ITunes U not compatible with iPod touch 4th and 5th generation.

    I attempted to subscribe to the course, Moons An Introduction. When opening one of the course books, I get an error message stating I need an iPad to read the book. There is nothing about the course being incompatible with iPod touch. Why can't incompatibility information be included in the course description?  What a waste of my time. Please don't advise me to open the book on my computer. I don't want to read a book on my computer. That's why I got an iPod. I'm thinking about getting an iPad, but as soon as I purchase one, it will be outdated. Isn't this a ploy by apple to get people to buy iPads?  How many iTunes U courses are like this?  The most important book of the course is incompatible.
    Thanks,
    Brenda Woollard

    Thank you, lllaass.  Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information?  Who is writing the review?  It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews?  I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device? 

  • I am trying to decide to buy Airport extreme  4th generation used for $90 or buy a new 5TH generation for $180.  What is the difference in 4th to 5th.generation.  Thanks   John

    I am trying to decide to buy a used 4th generation Airport Extreme or a new 5th generatino for $190. What is th edifference betweeen 4th and 5th generation,  thanks    John

    "New and improved" antenna design on the 5th Generation that may or may not result in any real differences. I can't tell them apart specification or performance wise.
    $90 is not bad for the 4th Generation, but you have No Warranty.
    Apple sells re-furbished 4th Gneration models that look brand new with all accessories and New Warranty for $129. Check the online Store if you are interested.

  • Have Pixus and 3rd gen Airport extreme. Unable to replace with 5th gen airport extreme

    I have Pixus and a 3rd generation Airport extreme . Unable to replace with 5th generation airport extreme. Problem?

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. I assume that Pixus has provided you with a modem that provided an Ethernet connection to your 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) ... correct? If so, then anytime you change networking hardware, it is a good idea to completely recycle power on all of the networking components.
    Please try the following:
    Power-down the Pixus modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); leave them powered off for at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it sufficient time to initialize.
    Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes or until its status light is a solid green. (Note: It may continue to flash amber. This is ok, as it may just require some additional configuration settings, like wireless security to attend to.)
    Power-up the computer(s).
    Network clients connected to the AEBSn, either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the Pixus modem. Please post back your results.
