Different network name for Express and Extreme

I extend wifi range from Extreme by using Express. It works and the wifi network name is the same (so any devices can connect to wifi with same credential).
Can I change the wifi network name of Express (different than wifi name of Extreme)? Since express supports up to 10 devices so I will only let some devices connect to Express's range.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, Carolyn Samits advice will only allow you to change the Base Station or "device" name of your AirPort routers.......not change the name of the wireless network.
I extend wifi range from Extreme by using Express
If the AirPort Express connects to the AirPort Extreme using a wireless connection, then you cannot change the wireless network name on either device and have the network extend.
However, if you have the AirPort Express connected to the AIrPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection.....and you are extending that way.....then you can change the name of the wireless network on either the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme.
Please post back to clarify how you have the AirPort Express configured to 'extend"......wireless or Ethernet.

  • Help: Step by step instructions for Express and Extreme setup?

    Hi everyone.
    I have been trying for the last 2-3 days to get this going and for reasons unknown, I just can't seem to set up my network like I had it working before.
    What I am trying to do is add an AEX (802.11n) to my home network to help extend the signal in house. My router is an AEBS 4th generation which is connected to an Efficient Networks Speedstream 5100 modem.
    I know this set up works because I set up and it worked fine. I then rearragend my home office, unplugged some cables, and when I went to reconnect, everything went downhill. I didn't change any settings, I just unplugged and reconnected. I have only my AEBS connected, I get internet and everything works fine. When I try to add AEX, everything freezes up and I lose my connection.
    I've done a hard reset on both AEX and AEBS trying to get this to work and still, nothing.
    I started with the AEBS first and here are the steps I took:
    Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wireless Tab > Create a network > Network Name > Radio Mode > Automatic > Radio Channel > Automatic >
    Wireless Security > WPA2 > PassWord
    I then add AEX to the mix:
    Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
    I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
    This is the configuration I used when I first setup my home network and had no problems whatsoever.
    All this was done in 5-10 minutes.
    Now, now I can't figure this out.
    Any help?

    I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
    Understand. Good plan.
    I then add AEX to the mix:
    Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
    There's the problem......Extend Network.....Should be Create a wireless network. "Extend" is only used if you are trying to connect using wireless only. You are connecting using Ethernet.
    Set Channel = Automatic and Radio Mode to your choice
    Make sure that the Express is in Bridge Mode as well:
    Internet icon > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) > Update
    Then...very important to power cycle the entire network by powering everything off in any order you want.
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two, then the AirPort Extreme same way, then Express the same, etc until everything is powered back up

  • Can I expand an expanded network with airport express and extreme?

    Hi, I would like to know, what happen if I have 1 Airport Extreme and 2 Airport Express.
    First, my airport extreme is creating my wifi network in my house, and i have an airport express, expanding my wifi signal.
    What happen if I want to add another airport express, like expanding the expanded network, something like this:
    Internet
          |
         |
         |(Ethernet Cable)
         |
         |
    Airport Extreme
         |
         |
         |(Wifi)
         |
         |
    Airport Express 1
         |
         |
         |(Wifi)
         |
         |
    Airport Express 2
    So, can I expand my signal, just adding more airport express?

    So, can I expand my signal, just adding more airport express?
    No, since Apple will only allow you to "extend" the signal one time.
    It is possible to have multiple extenders, but each extender must connect directly to the "main" base station....not to another device that is already extending the network.
    Apple's extend setup works like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your main base station is the "hub". Each extender resides at the end of a separate "spoke", and as such it communicates directly to the "hub"......not to another extender at the end of another spoke.

  • Different ID names for Apple and iCloud

    I apparently created my iCloud account with a different email address than I did my Apple account. I thought I knew which email address I might have used to create the iCloud account, but I am not being allowed to sign in. I there any resolution to this?

    To make maters worse, I found something that may have been what I used as my log in, but now its says my account has been locked for security reasons, and when it asks to verify my personal information, the date of birth I entered isn't being recogninized. What the heck?!

  • Benefit of having different network names for n- b/g networks on new AEBS?

    This option is available when selecting simultaneous dual-band on the new AEBS, but I'm not sure of the benefit?

    There are two main reasons you might want to do this:
    1) You want to manually force your "n" devices to connect only to the "n" network regardless of signal strength.
    2) You use your system in an area where signal strength varies such that your system switches back and forth between the 802.11b/g and 802.11n networks frequently.
    You might also want to do it if you are for whatever reasons having problems with the AirPort driver's auto-switching.

  • Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

    Can an airport extreme base station attached to another airport extreme base station set up as an extender transmit a different network name and have it's own security?

    No. The AirPort cannot extend another AirPort's wireless network and simultaneously broadcast its own wireless network.
    It can however, be connected to another router (including another AirPort) by Ethernet, and then, be configured to broadcast a wireless network with another Network Name and Security Type.

  • Airport Admin loses Express and Extreme, no iTunes, no Network Printer

    Ever since I have upgraded to Tiger, I’ve experienced a strange, random Airport Extreme/Express problem which I have not been able to solve. I can sometimes replicate the problem but never consistently.
    Laptop Configuration: 15” Powerbook G4 running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.3 with most current patches. System is stable and manifests no problems.
    Airport Network Configuration: Network is closed with 128bit WEP encryption. No other laptops attached to the network besides my Powerbook.
    Base Station: Airport Express attached to DSL modem with “Distribute IP Addresses” checkbox enabled, running firmware v6.2, stereo speakers plugged into audio jack. Network access is restricted by MAC address; RADIUS not in use, default IP address scheme is used.
    Remote Base Station: Airport Extreme running firmware v5.6. The Extreme hosts a HP 1012 LaserJet printer plugged into the USB port and an IP phone plugged into the LAN port.
    The Express and Extreme are within 15 feet of each other and enjoy a clear, strong 802.11b/g wireless signal on Channel 1 with a multicast setting of 11, interface robustness enabled and transmit power set to 100%.
    Symptoms: iTunes loses its remote speakers setting; I cannot print to the network printer attached via USB to Airport Extreme; Airport Extreme and Express do not appear in Airport Admin Utility….yet I can access the network via the Powerbook, I have full internet access and IP phone can make calls. I just can’t print to the network printer or use AirTunes.
    Troubleshooting: I can restore all functionality if I perform a hard reset of the Airport Express Base Station then re-import my saved Airport Express base station configuration settings. I typically look at the Airport Admin Utility to determine if functionality has been restored. If both the Airport Express and Extreme appear in the Admin utility, all is well. If they are not there, sometimes a laptop reboot will restore them, other times they will not appear when the Admin Utility is opened or when I rescan. If a rescan fails, I can access the Express and Extreme by typing in the IP address and password. Then each will show up in the Admin Utility and I can make changes and restart the devices. Even with a device restart, they will not automatically appear in the Admin Utility.
    I first thought the problem was associated with the laptop going to sleep but this is not the case. Sometimes when I reset the Base Station, re-import the configs and reboot the laptop, I am able to automatically see the Express and Extreme in the Airport Admin Utility. Other times I can’t. Sometimes my settings will last a few days and I’ll enjoy full functionality then they will disappear. Other times they will disappear immediately, even with a reboot and a reset of the Express and Extreme.
    If I use a 3rd party utility called Cocktail and reboot, I can restore functionality. Cocktail will delete all user, system and kernel caches, delete all log files, rerun disk permissions, and run the daily, weekly and monthly Apple Kron maintenance scripts. If I reboot after running Cocktail, my Airport Extreme and Express appear in the Admin Utility. Thus, I think the problem may be associated with a Airport Extreme cache file becoming corrupted or deleted upon reboot…….but I am not positive.
    If there are any Airport experts out there, let me know what you think. I love Apple, I love my Mac and my little Airport Network…….but this is ******’ me off! Thus my plea for advanced geekery review and assistance.
    Talk to me!

    If the Airport Admin Utility cannot automatically "see" your Base Station, you have a big clue as to the cause of your problems. On a private LAN, it should never be necessary to select "Other" and manually type in the Base Station's IP address.
    The most likely cause for the Airport Admin Utility not being able to automatically "see" an Airport Base Station - is a firewall on the Mac that is blocking it. Any of the following are possible:
    - you have installed non-Apple firewall software on the Mac
    - you have installed so-called "internet protection" software on the Mac
    - you have installed "internet monitoring" software on the Mac (like "Little Snitch")
    - you have installed VPN client software on the Mac - and many of these applications install their own firewall
    All this stuff needs to go, since it will cause all sorts of trouble with communication between a Base Station or Airport Express, and a Mac.
    I'd also be very worried about what this "Cocktail" utility is really doing to your system.

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • Arris CM820 - Change Wireless Network Name for Arris CM820

    Hi-How do I change the wireless network name for Arris CM820? The support page lists many other kinds of modems but not this one. Thanks. Hardware: Mac OSX 10.9.95

    The AirPort Express is exactly what you need, but when you attach it to a cable modem, you need to power cycle the modem to pickup the MAC address of the new device.
    I suggest you do a full reset of the AirPort by pressing the reset button on it for over 30 seconds, power down the modem, connect the modem to the AirPort, then power up everything, then use the AirPort utility to configure the AirPort and your wi-fi settings from scratch.  If everything's good, then the LED on the AirPort will be green and you will have connectivity.
    One warning, if you have 105 service from Comcast, the Express will limit your speeds to 90 or so as it has a 10/100 WAN / LAN ports.  For 105 speeds and higher you would need a AirPort Extreme.

  • Necessary to have the same wireless network name for using WDS?

    I have set up two Airports in WDS mode. I did this so my ps3 could get on the internet via ethernet (its an older model, and doesn't have wireless, so you have to use an ethernet bridge). I set up the WDS fine, and my Airport extreme base station (the square one) is the WDS main, while as my old Airport extreme (snow) is the remote, which I use to run a cable from to my ps3 to access the internet. This works fine when I have the network names for each base station the same.
    I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote). However, when I do that, I can no longer access the ethernet from the remote base station on my PS3. I can only access the ethernet via my PS3 if I have the wireless network for each base station literally named the same. Seems kind of strange if you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the main and remote, as shouldn't they be talking to each other via that mode, and not the actual wireless network name?
    I would like to have each base station with its own wirelss network name, so I can differentiate between them. I get some strange issues when my airport card scans, it frequently switches between base stations, and this slows down certain programs (i.e. VPN connections for mail etc).
    I set this up pretty literally from the airport guide from the apple site.

    I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote).
    No that is not correct. Since the 2 are working together to create a single wireless network, they must use the same network name.

  • Airport express and extreme not recognizing each other

    i have an existing airport extreme wireless working.

    Try the following:
    - Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044_
    - To facilitate setting up the remote/relay base stations, place them in near proximity of each other during the set up phase.
    - Then perform the WDS setup as follows:
    Set up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as the WDS Main Base Station, by connecting directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then use the AirPort Admin Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities, to make the following settings.
    WDS Tab
    - Enable this base station as a WDS: main base station (checked)
    - Enable wireless clients on this base station (optional)
    - Click "+" to add Remote/Relay Base Stations.
    -- Select the Base Station that you want to be the WDS Remote/Relay.
    -- AirPort ID: <verify that this is the correct wireless MAC address for the Base Station you are adding as a Remote/Relay.
    -- Auto configure as a WDS remote base station (checked)
    -- Click "OK."
    - Verify that the Remote/Relay Base Station has been added to the list.
    - Click "Update," and then verify the settings for the Remote/Relay.
    -- Allow wireless clients on this base station (checked)
    -- New network name: <verify that this is the same as the network name for the AEBS>
    -- TCP/IP: Configure using DHCP
    -- Base Station Password: <the Remote/Relay Base Station password>
    -- Confirm: <same as previous step>
    -- Click "OK."

  • Problems with Airport Express and Extreme

    I have tried to set up Airport Express and Extreme.  Both proceeded normally in the Air Port Utility until the final stages.  Then it said it couldn't find the devices. When I tried again (many times), I couldn't even start the process, even though it did that the first time for both.  I'm stumped.

    To set up the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) as a bridge, either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility, make these settings:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab
    Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click Update to apply the new settings
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing AEBSn's wireless network>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup >Music
    Enable AirPlay (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

  • Different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming

    Can I have different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming functions on my 4s? If I can is there a way that the will automatically select (remember) the proper bluetooth receiver?

    TDMA interference, and is a type of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) unique to GSM mobile phones. It affects all GSM mobile phones, but is not harmful to you or your electronics. It is just an audible indicator of network activity.
    GSM mobile phones generate this interference when they communicate with the cellular network. You don't need to be actively using the phone, as it constantly accessing the network to check signal strength, synchronize the clock, or perform other network-related tasks. The only way to stop this interference is to turn off the phone or its network capabilities. For example, by using Airplane Mode.

  • What is the difference between express and extreme?

    I am wondering what is the difference between express and extreme and will there be any effect in performance if I am just using it at home?

    I am just looking for router that gives me reliable highspeed wi-fi for personal use within my home.
    Wireless performance is roughly equal between the two devices, with a slight edge to the Extreme since it uses a bit better antenna package.
    If I connect the the hard drive to the extreme, does that mean I can back up all my data wirelessly through the port into my external hard drive?
    Yes, if you backup manually, or use an application like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. 
    No, if you were planning to use Apple's Time Machine application since Time Machine backups to a hard drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not officially supported by Apple.

Maybe you are looking for
