Difference between airport id and ethernet id?

I'm trying to assign static IP's to 3 Airport Extremes. Which is the MAC address? The Airport ID or the Ethernet ID?
thanks.

If you are connecting to the Extremes using ethernet, you would use the Ethernet ID, which is also known as the wired MAC address.

  • Difference between Airport Extreme and Airport Express

    What is the difference between Airport Extreme and Airport Express? My son is home from college and would like to use his Macbook for an online class. So I need a wireless router and I would also like to be able to play our iTunes over multiple speaker locations with my home stereo. Which one of these could accomplish this. Thanks in advance.

    If you can use just one device to both set up a WiFi network and connect to your stereo you have to use an Airport Express. If you have to use separate devices, for instance because your internet connection device and your stereo are not in the same location, you have to use an Express to stream to and you can use either an Express or an Extreme to set up the WiFi.
    By the way you have to use an Express for each stereo you would like to connect.

  • Difference Between Airport Express and Extreme?

    What may I ask, is the difference between the Airport Extreme and the Airport Express? And why is there a price difference between them. And would I be able to use it for surfing the web and print wirelessly on my Macbook? Which would be worth it for me, Because I'm sorta on a tight budget...

    That page does not explain what I think is the most significant feature difference. The Extreme has two Cat5 (Ethernet) sockets (abelled LAN and WAN) whereas the Express has only one (which serves as LAN or WAN depending on its configuration).
    If your ISP allows you only one IP address per account, you need a router with NAT to serve multiple computers. Both Extreme and Express have a router with NAT inside.
    With an Express, the Cat 5 cable socket is used up with the WAN (modem) input, so all your computers on the LAN must connect wirelessly. There would be no Cat 5 cable for the LAN.
    With an Extreme, however, your local computers may connect either wirelessly or via the LAN Cat 5 cable socket (through hubs as necessary).
    So, if you wish to add a Mac Book, say, to an installation that has one non-airport computer connected directly to the (Cable or DSL) modem, and the ISP will not serve more than one IP, you can connect an Extreme's WAN port to the modem and configure it translate that one IP via NAT to serve multiple local IP addresses on the LAN. Then you connect your non-airport computer to the Extreme's LAN port. Your Mac Book can then connect either wirelessly or also (with a hub) via the Ethernet LAN. You can't do this with an Express.
    A secondary feature difference is that the Express supports AirTunes to drive a mini stereo audio output socket on the case of the Express. It also supplies digital audio via optical fiber through the same socket. Either of these allows iTunes to play over your house stereo system wirelessly. You can't do this with an Extreme.

  • What are the main differences between airport express and extreme?

    what are the main differences between the express and extreme base stations.

    In addition to Bob Timmons' link the main differences are as follows:
    Extreme has a slightly more powerful antenna (might not be true but from experience it seems to be)
    Extreme has USB HDD sharing
    Express has AirPlay
    Extreme has 3 Gigabit ports (don't be confused by Apple's page. Apple states 4 including WAN, 3 without WAN)
    Express is smaller
    Express has 10/100 Ethernet whereas Extreme has Gigabit

  • What is the difference between AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme?

    Hi everybody!
    Here is my question: I'd like to get a portable (Mac of course) and I don't know which type of WiFi base I should buy, Express or Extreme? What is the difference between them?
    Thank you.
    Goldor

    Hello Goldor - sorry you've had to wait!
    The Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Express are really quite different in what they are intended to do. Airport Express without a base station or modem/router already installed has limited function; it's really an add-on. So if you are starting from scratch you will first of all need a fully functional base station to connect you wirelessly to the internet. Once you have set up your network you can use an Airport Express to add functionality in several ways. The best plan is to visit the online AppleStore and read about the products there.
    However it should be pointed out that you don't HAVE to choose an Airport Express base station, it's only Apple's take on the technology and there are many more around (and a lot cheaper too!). Netgear, Linksys, Buffalo all make popular wireless products which will work happily with the Mac.

  • What is the difference between airport extreme and express

    What is the difference between them? I am not familar with apple products other then the iphone and the ipad

    Extreme has three LAN ports; Express has one (both have one WAN port)
    Extreme has Gigabit Ethernet, Express 100-BaseT - this affects activities such as performing large file transfers or streaming
    Extreme's USB port can be used with an external hard disk, Express can only be used for a USB printer
    Only the Express can stream iTunes music.
    The Express is about $80 cheaper than the Extreme.

  • Bridge between airport card and ethernet port

    My son wants to access the internet through the ethernet port to connect his xbox 360. My airport extreme base station is upstairs and my powermac g5 is in the basement and connects to the internet through the airport network (airport extreme card to base station). One of his friends says he can configure a bridge between his wireless card and his ethernet port on his windows computer and was trying to do it on my mac. Can a bridge be configured between the airport extreme card and the ethernet port on the g5 which will allow an ethernet device to connect to the internet? Any advice will greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Larry

    I have used an external ethernet bridge in the past. What I am wondering is: How can the airport card be configured to create a bridge to the ethernet port on the computer, so the game console could be connected to the back of the g5 with an ethernet cable and then connected to the tv with a/v cables. Do I have to use some external device to provide an internet connection to the game console or is there some way to share the connection from the airport card to the ethernet port?

  • Difference between new network and extended network

    Difference between extended network and new network settings

    An "extended" network acts as one large wireless network. Wireless devices can roam anywhere a signal is present and stay on the network without having to make any changes.
    A "new" network will require that a wireless device manually "switch" to that network and enter the password for the network to connect whenever you want to use that network. In other words, a "new" network will use a different wireless network name and password, which will require that you manually log on to that network.
    The exception would be if you created a "new" wireless network and used the same wireless network name, same wireless security settings and same password as the "main" network and connected the AirPort back to the main router using an Ethernet cable. In that case, you would have an "Ethernet extended wireless" network.

  • What are the major differences between the air and the pro

    what are the major differences between the air and the pro?

    In a nutshell, the Air is a lightened, more compact system than the 13" Pro counterpart. The Air loses some hardware features to accommodate the physical downsizing.
    No FireWire port
    No built-in optical drive
    A lesser performing CPU to retain battery charge life, and adequate cooling.
    No Ethernet port
    No Kensington lock slot
    The Air does have a superior native resolution at 1440 x 900, and a standard SSD that does make up alot of the speed differential, and then some. Of course, the 13" Pro can be optionally configured with an SSD.
    You buy the Air if the physical size an weight savings are demonstrably more important than the features lost.
