Does Airport Extreme Actively Control Access?

My building shares an internet connection with an Airport Extreme serving as a router to the different floors. Someone in the building is trying to copy a file from one new-to-the-building laptop to another new-to-the-building laptop, and the connection is getting blocked. His supposition is that the Airport Extreme has flagged the laptops' traffic as potentially malicious and is actively denying them access to the network. Is it possible that the Airport Extreme is limiting the number of packets the laptops can exchange or enforcing IP leasing limitations?

No, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) doesn't offer that level of control over the traffic.

    Does Airport Extreme work will with AT&T Microcell for the iPhone 4?

    The AT&T Microcell will plug into one of the Ethernet ports on your AirPort Extreme.
    The AirPort Extreme will work just fine. Whether the Microcell works well is totally up to AT&T.

  • How far does airport extremes range go

    how far does airport extremes range go

    Apple says up to 300 feet or so, but since tests like this are performed in a very large room with no walls, the specification won't mean much to most of us in the real world.
    Bottom line is that it is not possible to make a good guess about distance capabilities in a home without knowing the number of walls and or ceilings the signal must pass through.
    (A typicall wall of sheetrock and 2 by 4s will absorb on average about 15-20% of the signal and a ceiling absorbs more because it is thicker).
    As a very rough guide...if the signal from the wireless router must pass through 4-5 walls, or a ceiling and 2-3 walls, then there won't be much of it left by the time it reaches a computer or other wireless device.

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Does Airport Extreme support Static Routes?

    I have client using an Airport Extreme as their Router. They currently connect to another device outside their network using AppleTalk.
    It is planned to put this device onto TCP/IP but on a different subnet (e.g. their subnet is 192.168.5.X and the device will be on say 192.168.25.X). Does Airport Extreme support (like other Routers) the ability to set up a static link to a device on a different subnet (can’t find any information in a doco or the utility) or do they need to replace this with a “real“ router?

    Sure, I could do something like route add -net 10.100.10 192.168.0.100 on every client machine on the subnet, but there is no such way to configure a web cam and similiar devices
    Any idea, Apple?

  • Does airport extreme replace my current router?

    Does airport extreme replace my current router?

    Your choice.. in some cases you will bridge the AE and use it as wireless AP and switch.
    In other cases you will bridge your existing router and use the AE in router mode.
    We cannot easily answer without specifics..
    What broadband modem / router do you have? Make and model?
    What are you hoping to achieve with the AE?

  • Does airport extreme or any of the modems work with tds?

    Does airport extreme or any of the modems work with tds?

    Sorry. What do you mean by "tds"?
    Also, Airport Extreme is not a "modem". It is a router.
    Please rephrase your question.

  • Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    "You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
    This is what I am trying to understand.
    So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
    Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
    If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
    Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
    The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
    My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
    Any thoughts?

  • Does AirPort Extreme work with AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit

    Does AirPort Extreme Base Station work with the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit? I want to wirelessly play my music from my computer on my stereo.

    Does AirPort Extreme Base Station work with the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit?
    If you are asking if the AEBS can connect to your Stereo using the cables in the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit, the answer is No. Only the Airport Express is designed for this purpose.
    However, the AEBS is used as the central base station for any number of remote Airport Express units which can use the Airport Express Connection Kit to connect to your stereo.

  • Airport Extreme N problem accessing some websites

    Hello,
    I just installed an Airport Extreme N base station. When I go to the following website to access documentation, it hangs. When I put my old Dlink router back in place, I can get to the website and access the documentation just fine. I have no idea whats going on. Can some of the other Airport Extreme N users access the following symantec corp documentation site?
    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/documentation.jsp?language=english&view =manuals&pid=15143
    When you right click and try to save the .pdf files it just downloads a 0byte file. When you try to click on the .pdf to open it, it opens with nothing.
    When I take the Airport Extreme out and hook my Dlink DI-624 router in, no problems opening the document or saving to my laptop.
    Any help or insight would be appreciated!

    No one seems to have an answer to this one yet - have you found anything? The thread below seems to be the same issue:

    I'll keep working at a solution and will post if I can find one.

    The AirPort Extreme fully implements the IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols for a through n and will work with any computer that uses a compliant version of any of those protocols.  So, yes it will work with the Lenovo as long as the Lenovo is not doing something strange with wireless.

  • How do I use airport extreme to control individual device access?

    I don't understand how I can control individual device access to the web using my AirPort Extreme.
    I set up the network on a PC (for technical reasons) but hoping to control access of individual devices (including a Mac but also iPods and iPads) to the web using an iPad (although can use the PC if necessary).  I have downloaded AirPort Utility on the PC and an iPad but can't work out what to do next.
    Can anyone please provide some instructions or point me in the right direction?

    The AE has no controls except timed access to wireless.. is that what you are after??

  • Airport Extreme used as access point. External disk does not show up in Finder

    The title pretty much sums it up. I'm using my Airport as just an access point. I connected an external disk to it. The disk shows up in the Airport Utility, however I cannot connect to it because my Airport has never shown up in Finder. I went to preferences and checked Connected Servers, still no go. Any advice?

    A few things to check:
    The drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), or FAT32
    Since the USB port on  the AirPort Extreme is under powered, you almost always have to use a powered USB hub when connecting a hard drive, even if the hard drive has its own power supply
    When locating the disk on your Mac, open Macintosh HD or the Finder and look for the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon and a folder will appear to the right representing your drive
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop

  • Airport Extreme is allowing access to screen sharing, file sharing from external IP addresses (some from China, Canada etc)

    How to get control over the ports/port forwarding etc in Airport Extreme?
    How to make AE drop packets to certain ports from external ports.  Or create whitelist/blacklists?
    I figured out where the MAC filtering is!  (It is inside the Timed Access Control).  I wish it had a list of connected device and allowed me to select, name and add them.
    I am getting requests from Chinese IP to the screen sharing ports forwarded to my iMac.  Had requests to other ports as well.  There was one IP address from CANADA too.
    I want to open file sharing for local use only.

    Why is Airport Extreme forwarding requests for screen sharing from external ip addresses to my imac?  I don't have a public address, nor use dynamic dns service, and I have removed the server app (at least I think I have, but Apple Store doesn't think so).
