Does Apple Airport Extreme work on 220 as well as 110 volts?

The AirPort Extreme operates on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right AC wall adapter. A voltage converter is not needed.
However, wireless standards are different in different countries, so you may not be able to use certain channels legally in some countries. The document below illustrates what wireless channels are authorized in various regions.

Does the Airport Extreme work w/Time Capsule (as prior info. said?)

Seems to me that any person contemplating the purchase of a new Airport Extreme should at least be able to see both what it is and is not capable of doing... Time Machine does not support a properly mounted Airport Extreme disk. Period. Unless this is the darker side of the product-- or lest this technical incompatibility is found to be "inappropriate" subject matter, I see no reason why this is not a valid technical question to be answered by Apple.
Why does the AE not fully support the feature-set of Leopard? Time Machine incompatibility is a serious and costly issue for all of us who bought AE's just weeks prior to Leopard's release...
Apple did indeed state (prior to release), that Leopard and Time Machine would fully support the Airport Extreme's disk-mounting feature. This is no longer the case, however, and it seems that Apple simply does not want this subject to be brought to light... This is a technical problem that can (and should) be solved via new software for the AE, or within Leopard itself.
I have been told to "call Customer Relations about this instead"-- however, no phone number was provided. In my experience, that department has proven to be incredibly difficult to connect with via Tech. Support. Why can't this issue be addressed here? Technical. Software. Hardware. Leopard.

Not really. Its a missing feature, not an incompatibility. Incompatibilities are things that a product should be able to do but can not due to conflicts. The AEBS was never compatible with the retail version of Time Machine, nor was it every said to be compatible with the retail version so its is a missing feature.

Is airport extreme working with 220 v power supply?

my cousin gave me an airport extreme as present , bought in USA.Can I connect it with 220v power supply (greece) or what I must do to connect it to 220v power supply?

It will accept AC input voltages between 100 and 240 AC, 50 to 60 HZ. All you will need is an adapter plug to interface between the US plug and the Euro/Greece wall socket. These adapter plugs are low cost.

Does Airport Extreme work will with AT

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.

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.

I bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any software disks. how would make it work without the software disk?

Bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any discs. Do i need any discs? or is there another way to setup this airport without using a software disc?

You can download the setup manual and software that you need.
Look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme for the Model Number. It's A....... something.
Post back with the model number and the exact operating system you are running on your Mac or PC.

Can the AirPort Extreme work as an extender?

Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender? (I have tried to research this online, of course, but I haven't had much luck.)
Background: The only option from our ISP is a router/modem combination. It used to be plugged directly into my dad's (Dell and Windows) desktop computer, but I was having trouble connecting all my devices wirelessly. So, I moved it into the kitchen and plugged it into the phone line (we have AT&T DSL) and got a USB wireless adapter for my dad's computer (because he didn't think he needed the wireless option on his "fancy" new Dell). I also have a different brand of adapter plugged into my old iMac G3, which I LOVE using.
Since doing this, my dad has constantly complained of his Internet not working correctly, things loading slowly, and having trouble connecting at all. (Full disclosure: he STILL uses the complete desktop version of AOL and refuses to give it up.) However, I've had no trouble on ANY of my devices--the G3, my white MacBook, my iPad, my iPod, or my mom's Kindle Fire. This leads me to believe the problem lies in the fact that he's using AOL because I usually don't have trouble when I briefly use Chrome on his desktop.
I've tried finding different solutions, including flashing an old router to use an extender and researching different extenders and bridges and such, but nothing looks like a viable solution because of all our components.
I'm wondering if the AirPort Extreme (probably the A1143;or any of the other AirPort devices) can work as an extender. To appease my dad, it'd be best to take the modem/router back to his man cave so he can hook it back up to his computer, but I'm not sure if the AirPort can pick up the wireless signal and perhaps be plugged directly into my G3 and otherwise act as an extender for my other devices (while searching for an Internet solution for my G3, I read on here that someone did this, but there was no further information on how it worked) or if I can plug it into the kitchen phone line and keep the USB adapter for the G3 and have wireless access to all my other things.
Help?
(I can't find the original support article where a responder mentioned using the AirPort station with an iMac G3, but i did locate this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13080786#13080786)
(My iMac is one of the later ones. It's running 10.4.1 and is a 600MHz model.)

Simple question: Can the AirPort Extreme work as a wireless network extender?
Simple answer: Yes....IF....the AirPort Extreme is extending a wireless network that is being provided by another Apple 802.11n wireless router.
Another way of saying the same thing is that it will take a minimum of two Apple 802.11n wireless routers to extend a signal wirelessly.
The more complex answer involves distances and obstructions involved in the setup, or alternate solutions such as running Ethernet cabling or using Ethernet powerline adapters.

What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme?

What is voltage power block at Apple Airport Extreme? 110 or 220 Volt. Or both type support.

The AirPort Extreme will operate on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right adapter for the wall jack.
The outboard power supply provides 12 Volts to the AirPort Extreme at about 2 Amps.

Solaris Express Developer Edition + Apple Airport Extreme

I just installed Solaris Express Develper Edition without any problems, but I can't seem to get my wireless connection up and running. I use an Apple Airport Extreme and while my MacBook with Mac OS X and my Xubuntu machine have no problems connecting to the internet through the Airport, my Solaris says he can't connect.
I allready disabled the Auto-magic stuff so I can setup the connection manually. I did it with the following two commands:
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
The wireless interface ath0 can detect all the available networks (including mine), so it works.
My Airport uses WPA/WPA2 Personal and DHCP.
In the Network settings of Solaris I've set the properties of the wireless ath0 interface as follows:
* enable this connection
* activate on boot
* network name (ESSID): my network is detected and I can select it from the dropdown list of available networks
* Key Type: Plain (ASCII)
* WEP key: my WEP key (the thing I filled in as WPA/WPA2 Personal on my airport)
* Connection settings Configuration: DHCP
I click OK and then try to activate the ath0 interface, but it doesn't work. The message is:
"Could noet enable the interface ath0
Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it".
Which is frustrating, because as far as I know, the settings are correct (ESSID, WEP, ...) and the computer is correctly connected as it can detect all the available wifi networks in my area.
Does anybody have any idea? Thnx in advace,
Nico

Apple Airport Extreme No Wireless Signal

Other than downgrading firmware, re-installing software or reinstalling an older OS (Windows style thinking), does anyone have a solution to this problem
I have an Apple Airport Extreme that has recently become useless because it emits or receives no radio signals.
I was running a Wireless Distributions System for a couple of years without any problems. The Extreme was the base connected by Ethernet to a cable modem. I had an Express as a relay station.
One day the Extreme stopped. Naturally, the WDS died. I played with the Extreme for a 1/2 day, but couldn't it too work. I made the Express into my sole Wifi base. Workable but not ideal, I now have dead zones in my house.
I finally found time to spend (waste) another day trying to get the Extreme working again. No luck. Some observations:
- the only useful advice I found to date, was to set the Extreme from automatic to a specific channel, the Extreme worked for about 20 mins. Strangely, my iBook couldn't find the signal, but my Dell PC could!
- I can get Internet access when use the LAN Ethernet outlet on the Extreme
- the centre status light is one, the LAN is on, the wireless is out
- Amazingly, at one point disconnected the LAN cable between the Extreme and my iBook, and launched the Airport Utility and it found the Extreme wirelessly!!!
- Not only that, but I could configure the Extreme wirelessly!!
- Yet during that time and after, the Extreme emitted no wireless signal - checked by Windows and Mac Laptop
- So if the hardware is emitting a signal that allows for configuration but not simple internet access, it is probably not a hardware problem and sure looks like a software problem, most likely between the OS and firmware.
- I have upgraded the Extreme to 5.7, many posts say go back to 5.5 but only a few claim this actually works.
- I am running Mac OS 10.3.9 on all my various Macs. Apple software updates are current.
This wave of posts reminds me of time when iBooks had a faulty motherboards. This looks like an easier fix, a firmware or software patch.
If anyone has a real solution, as opposed to an experimental one, I would appreciate it. Other posts recommend switching to more reliable third party hardware, I guess it might come to that.
Thanks.

Sounds like possible interference from a new neighbor's wireless network. Have you tried other wireless channels to see if you can find some clearer airspace?
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless Tab (below the icons)
Hold down the option key on your Mac as you click on the Channel selection box to see more choices.
You might also want to download a utility like Air Radar to display all of the visible networks in your area. Click on Scan at the lower right of the main window. Look for the channels that other networks are using and set your router to a channel that is as far away as possible.

Connecting our Xbox360 to our existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station.

We have an existing Apple Airport Extreme Base Station at home (connected to a Motorola brand Cable-DSL Modem). This wireless network works magnificently for our PowerBook and iBook... and even for the PC laptops a couple of our "friends" have brought over (and they have to work outside on the porch, since we don't let them in the house with those things).
We broke down and purchased the Xbox360 along with the Xbox360 Wireless Adapter, but I can't get it to connect to our network wirelessly. It connected automatically though, when I used the ethernet cable from the Xbox360 to the Airport Extreme Base Station's output port.
Our wireless network is hidden, and we'd really like to keep it that way for security reasons. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or do we have to sacrifice our network security just to be able to connect wirelessly... so we can get the latest version of that damm Bejeweled game... okay, and play games online... and get HD Movie Trailers that look amazing... I actually am excited about that part.

Thanks for the info iFelix. And wow, speedy too. You
must be a fast typer. (I'm just a Hunt-&-Peck kind of
guy.)
No not too fast I can cut and paste from my file of usual responses.
I'm not really "that" worried about security. We just
have a couple of those "nosey-neighbor" types living
close by, and they both work in I.T. I sound a little
paranoid, I know. But you'd understand if you met
these guys.
Use WPA and they won't be able to access your network even though they can see it.
So I should reset the Base Station to WPA?
Yes
Is that
the factory setting?
No
A guy I work with said I need to
reset the Base Station to "Factory Settings" to get
the Xbox360 to connect wirelessly. Is this true?
Yes, but then you would have no security!!!
And for the password, I shouln't use any real word(s)?
Applications > Utilities > Airport Admin Utility
Scan and Select your Airport
On the Airport Tab
Change Wireless Security
Use WPA Personal
Use a password like this:
4fghj8eybs9nf78swnu
Remember to write it down.
I would also change the Wireless Network Name as well, but this is not needed.
Click OK
Click Update
You will now be thrown off the wireless network.
Wait at least five minutes.
The from the Airport icon in the menu bar, select your network, you will be asked for your password, enter the password, check keep in Keychain (so your Mac will remember it).
That's it.
Don't worry about using anything else, WPA is pretty much uncrackable unless you use a dictionary word for a password such as "table".

Best usb hub for Apple Airport Extreme base station

Hi all does any one know which usb hub is the best to use with the apple airport extreme the 8.11n version?
Im aware i need a powered usb hub ideally im lookin for a 7 port hub and i think also its needs to be plug and play rather than needing a driver to be installed as this feature is not available on the router,
I read in another forum that the (macally usb hub) would work but wondering if anyone had any experience with this as i know some do not work fo ex. the one ive just bought and some are faster than others any info anyone has on this matter wi ll be greatly appreshed thanks in advanced

if i have a quicktime movie stored in the USB external hard drive and if i run that movie over the "connection" via the new airport extreme... would the movie by "choppy" or would it be as smooth as if the external hard-drive connected directly to computer?
Sorry, things like this are not possible to predict in advance since there are so many variables involved. But, your chances of a smooth connection will improve using "n" wireless speeds with the computer close to the wireless router.
I would not recommend trying to store images on a drive that is accessed only by wireless. My strong preference for any kind of video or image file storage is to have the drive hard wired to the computer and/or router.

Chromecast and Apple Airport Extreme Base Station

Hey guys,
So I have a Chromecast and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (newest AC one). There is a setting on the base station called "Block incoming IPV6 Connection." With it enabled, my Chromecast cannot connect to router and is thus un-useable. Disabling it allows my Chromecast to work. My first question is: if I keep that option disabled, will my network be vulnerable to outside access by unwanted person (moreso than with it enabled)? And, does anyone know how to get it so that the "block incoming IPV6 connections" option can be enabled while still allowing Chromecast to connect?
Thanks

Solved my problem. I had checked, in the Apple Preferences folder, internet share. I unchecked it and everything performed like before. Thanks, self.

Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

Hello all,
Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
*Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.
http://www.jarviser.co.uk/jarviser/repeaterhubs.html
Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

How do I make an Airport Extreme work with a Linksys WRT160N

I have a Linksys WRT160N V3 Router that I have connected to my cable modem. I have an iMac in another room along with a PC based laptop. Range is fine to get them to connect wirelessly. However what I would like to do is to also connect my Blu-Ray device to the internet. However it isn't wireless. I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N. What I want to do is hardwire connect my Blu-Ray player and perhaps my iMac to the Airport Extreme using my WRT160n's access to the cable modem. Basically I'm trying to make to wirelss routers talk to each other. I can't seem to make the Airport Extreme work. Any assistance would be great.
Thanks,
Tim

Welcome to the discussions, Gonzotoo!
+I was told I could use an Airport Extreme to bridge to my WRT160N+
Unfortunately, this is not correct. The AirPort Extreme does not have the capability that you need. If you could connect the Linksys and Extreme together using an ethernet cable, it would function as you wish. Or, if it's not possible to connect them using an ethernet cable, you might take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home.
