Does or will the Airport Extreme be able to share the Guest network to a Ethernet port?

Did not know if there was or possibly will be the ability to seperate ethernet ports to make a hardwired guest network?

Sorry, not possible to extend the Guest Network using either wireless or Ethernet.
You might want to let Apple know on any new features that you want to see.

    I have a 1st generation AirPort Extreme and want to create a guest network, can I?
    This version of the AirPort Extreme does not have guest network capability.
    Can I do this by adding an Airport Express?
    Why not simply buy a new Airport Express.....which does have main and guest network capability*.....and sell the AirPort Extreme?
    * The AirPort Express will need to connect to a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device.....for the guest network feature to work correctly.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11AC + 5th Gen and guest network access

    I have the current gen Airport Extreme 802.11AC with a 5th Gen extending the network. With this setup, I am unable to login using our guest network setup. I have tried using guest network with a password and one without but its the same results. When a guest logins, it stuck attempting to login with no error messages.
    So is it possible to have this configuration and still have guest network access?

    Please review what I said originally.......that the guest network function on the AirPort Extreme is designed to work with a simple modem......so the AirPort acts as the main router for the network..
    Another way of saying the same thing is that the AirPort needs to be "in charge" of your network for the guest feature to work correctly. The AirPort cannot be in charge if it is connected to another device that is already configured to be the main router on your network.....your Actiontec modem/router.
    The Actiontec device combines the functions of a separate modem and a separate router in one package. This type of device is known as a modem/router, or also known as a gateway.
    Some folks call a modem/router or a gateway......a modem. So, things can get confusing.
    I do not know if it is possible for the Actiontec device that you have to be configured to act as a simple modem.....so the routing functions of the device are completely turned off. (Turning off the wireless on the Actiotec does not turn off the routing function).
    If you turn off the wireless on the Actionec, it becomes a modem and a wired router. And that wired router is still in charge of your network.
    The guest network feature will not work correctly unless the AirPort is in charge of your network.
    My suggestion was for you to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP), if they could supply you with a simple modem.  That is all that you need. You don't need two routers....and the Actiontec that you have now is not allowing the guest feature to work correctly.

  • Using an airport extreme in both bridged mode and guest network with DHCP

    I currently use a third-generation airport extreme in bridge mode to connect my various Mac servers To the Internet. I'm using bridge mode on the AirPort Extreme because I have up to five static IP address (only using three now) I am currently not using the wireless network, and none of the servers are serving DHCP. I am looking at the Newer airport extreme with guest network Wi-Fi. My question is, does the new airport extreme base station support bridge- mode for any devices and host DHCP for the guest network connecting wirelessly to the base station?

    The AirPort Extreme cannot be in Bridge Mode and support a Guest Network.
    The AirPort must be configured to provide DHCP and NAT services if you want to enable the Guest Network function.
    If you really do have a 3rd Gen AirPort Extreme, it will support the Guest Network feature if you connect the AirPort directly to a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of devices.......and configure the AirPort to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network.

  • Nexus 7009 does not show the N7K-F248XP-25 modules ethernet ports n sh run

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question...
    I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25  modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the Ethernet ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see that the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?

    You can enable F1, F2, M1, M1XL and M2XL Series modules. There are no restrictions on the type of mix allowed for the system module-type command. The system module-type command allows a mix of F1, F2, M1, M1XL, and M2XL Series modules in the VDC.
    Note The limit-resource module-type command controls the restrictions on the module-types that can be mixed in the VDC.
    Note Use the system module-type f2 command to allow F2E Series modules into a VDC. The ports from F2 and F2E Series modules can be allocated like any other ports.
    Note The modules that you do not enable must not be powered on after you configure this feature and enter yes. An error message will force you to manually disable these modules before proceeding. This prevents major disruption and service issues within a VDC.
    The no form of this command resets the configuration mode to allow all modules.
    hope this helps

  • AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen) no Guest Network capability?

    I have an "AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen)" according to a serial number lookup here.
    I am not sure if this is the same as MB053LL/A which is mentioned is this archived thread. (Couldn't find a way to lookup the part number + couldn't find the tech specs at apple.com.)
    I was wondering if this base station has the capability to setup a guest network in addition to the primary network.
    According to the above mentioned Apple Discussions thread, the base station needs to have simultaneous dual band operation capability to make this possible. (Since I couldn't find the tech specs, I'm not sure what this base station has.)
    I would assume from this Knowledge Base Article that the 2nd generation AirPort Extreme is one generation too old:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3477
    Am I correct?
    (It's set to "Share a public IP address" under Connection Sharing.)

    Hi, flips01. You are correct. Simultaneous dual-band was introduced with the 3rd generation.

  • Do all airport extreme models have the guest network feature?

    My friend has an airport extreme bought in 2009, does it have the guest network feature?

    We will need to know either the model number of the AirPort Extreme or the generation of the device to be able to answer correctly.

  • Does the guest network use more electricity?

    Does turning on the guest network cause the Airport Extreme to use more electricity?
    I wonder if I can save some money by turning it off since I don't have guests over that require WiFi very often. Also would the unit run any cooler w/o the guest network?
    Thanks for your help.

    Of course.

    Maybe marginally.

  • How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

    I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

    Sorry, but Apple does not allow the Guest Network to be extended in any way.

  • Will adding AirPort Extreme to my fios router improve my speed and distance to led tv.. The tv keeps dropping network and 50% of the time it tells me my broadband is too slow. I have upgraded to fios faster internet speed.

    Will adding AirPort Extreme to my Fios router improve reception on tv located about 50 feet away..have new top of the line samsung smart tv and it drops signal every other day. When trying to watch netflix or amazon it transmits in SD only says bandwidth is not high enough for Hd. My ipad laptops and iphone work fine in this room. Any help will be appreciated or am I better off with a booster.

    The AirPort Extreme will not be able to wirelessly "boost" or "repeat" the wireless signal from the Fios router, since It will only work with another Apple router for that feature.
    So, if you plan to extend or repeat the FIos wireless signal, you should use a product by the same manufacturer as the Fios router....or possibly a "universal" repeater from a company like Netgear.
    Make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy any kind of extender or repeater.....since you cannot know if the product will help until you try it out in your home.
    The TV really needs a wired Ethernet connection from the Fios router if at all possible.

  • The airport utility does not find my Airport Extreme. I tried to reset the base, but I can`t make it. What can i do?

    The airport utility does not find my Airport Extreme. I tried to reset the base, but I can`t make it. What can i do?

    Please perform a Factory Default Reset exactly as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button first and continue to hold it in for at least 7-8 more seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AEBS
    Release the reset button after the 7-8 second hold period
    Allow 30-45 seconds for the AEBS to restart
    Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS
    Open AirPort Utility to see if can now see the AEBS

  • Why does my 5th gen airport extreme go on the fritz and disconnect all 2.4GHz devices when one device connects with 5GHz? I've done some research and it seems other people have had this problem too? I'm very frustrated and want my money back

    Running an apple tv 3rd gen, iPod 4th gen, iPhone 4s, windows vista laptop, and Xbox 360 with media center. 2.4GHz devices work great when apple TV is connected with ethernet, but as soon as I switch the apple tv to wireless, the 5th gen AEBS kicks over to 5GHz, my 2.4GHz devices lose connection and I can't reconnect my 2.4GHz devices, until I do a hard reset of my AEBS and reconfig the network with my iPhone, if I use the airport application for PC, my wireless devices still won't connect. I bought this router 20 days ago so I could run dual band wireless, if I wanted to limit all my stuff to 2.4ghz, I would've got a g router and saved some money. This thing supposedly has 3 antennas, one for 2.4, one for 5, and one for the guest network, so why do I loose my 2.4 when it "switches" to 5GHZ if it's supposedly always broadcasting both freq's????????

    I had a problem with dual bands running almost everything you have there. When I'd have a iPad and MacBook running, I'd turn on my 360 and I'd loose all connections though. Until a hard reset and the same cycle. I returned my airport a day later for a new one. No problems since. I had a faulty one. Not saying yours is, but mine was. I troubleshooted everything from options, manual setup, everythinggggggggg. It was a wasted 7plus hours to find out it was faulty. I have a pc, MacBook, apple tv, 360, and 2 iPads using it now flawless.

  • Linksys WIP330 does not even see Airport Extreme

    Strange thing:
    every device (even some cheap siemens sl75 wlan phones) does see my new airport extreme wlan.
    except the new voip linksys wip330. this device does not even see the network.
    SSID ist visible, tried different modes, setting channel manually etc.
    any hints? it's really strange. linksys support isn't able to help.

    Make sure the Extreme is using a wireless name that is SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Start with no security on the Extreme.. can the linksys adapter see the wireless now.. this is a brief test..
    No luck test on fixed wireless channels.. 2.4ghz .. try channel, 11, 9, 6.
    Still no luck it is not compatible.. it is often a driver issue so download the latest available.. make sure XP is sp3 and fully updated.
    No luck.. well it is end game.. there is nothing else you can do to fix it. Not all wireless works with all other wireless.
    Get an express.. and use it as a wireless bridge for the XP computer so all it needs to cope with is ethernet.. !!
    If it works at any stage.. immediately put security back but WPA & WPA2 is probably the best you can do.. do not use WPA2 personal..
    Make sure any password is pure alphanumeric mix of case and numbers.

  • Will my airport extreme 2nd generation work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

    Will my airport extreme 2nd Gen work with docsis 3.0 cable modems?

    RRoger, everything is working fine.
    So, what is the actual problem here?  You are now wondering if the Vonage can handle the speed from the modem? Is that the "problem" after all this discussion?
    now I am wondering if my current setup will allow me to get docsis 3.0 speeds.
    What speed is your Internet provider delivering to you?
    The AirPort Express uses 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, so it will handle up to 100 Mbps. We have already told you that.
    Vonage likely does the same. The answer is almost certainly "yes" .......both the Vonage and AirPort will handle the speed from the modem.
    If you want to double check this, please provide the model number of the Vonage,  and we will try to look up the specifications for the device. If you have documentation there with specifications for the Vonage device, check to see if the Ethernet ports are listed as 10/100. This is standard with almost all devices, with some of them handling even higher speeds 10/100/1000.
    Chances are, your network will handle a lot more speed than your service provider is supplying to you. So, the "choke" point on your network may very well be your service provider and modem......not the Vonage and AirPort.

  • I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

    I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
    Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
    To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
    Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
    You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.
