Extend Air Omni for Airport Extreme

I buyed from Apple Store Online the Extend Air Omni for Airport Extreme, but now my Airport Extreme don't have a antenna port.
It's possible ?

Only the M8799LL/A & M9397LL/A models of the AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS) provide an external antenna port which you can plug the ExtendAIR Omni.

  • Extend the network for airport extreme

    Problem overview. I have a timeWarner cable modem that has both wired and wireless output supporting four external ethernet ports. I want to extend my network (bridge) to use the extreme in another room and connect other hardware that has only ethernet capabity only. My test configuration consist of an Imac wired to TimeWarner Modem and a stand alone laptop (Macbook pro). I can connect to both the wireless and wired configuration for TIme warner with out a problem.
    If I take the airport extreme, and connect teh Timewarner ethernet output to the WAN input and the laptop to the free extreme ports, then I am able to add capability where the extreme can create a new wireless network and the laptop can gain access to the internet via the new wireless an wired network fine.
    This was done as an initial test to verify the extreme was working but really is not what I want. I want a bridge connection. Therefore
    1) Using airport express I changed the wireless settings to Extend the Network.
    2) Removed the WAN cable from the extreme.
    3) Was able to connect to the extreme using the airport utility and show the status as an extended network.
    Overview
    The network shows to be the ssid of my local network (Walmart)
    The IP Address is 192.168.0.6
    The serial number is COPJ900JDM72
    Version 7.6.1
    Status: Extended Network.
    Now when I hook my Macbook pro to the ethernet port into 1 of three ports on the extreme.
    The ip address shows 169.254.98.37
    I never acquire a valid IP address to connect to the network from the Macbook Pro.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi - if I understand correctly, you want to connect the Express wirelessly to the TWC modem/router and then connect your MBP to the ethernet port - is this true?

  • Can the H-Squared Air Mount for AirPort Extreme be mounted horizontally on a wall withOUT the Horizontal Adapter?

    Can the H-Squared Air Mount for the Airport Extreme Base Stataion (5th Generation) be mounted horizontally on a wall withOUT also having to buy the Horizontal Adapter (which costs another $14.95)?
    Are there mounting holes in the Air Mount to allow for that?

    Can the H-Squared Air Mount for the Airport Extreme Base Stataion (5th Generation) be mounted horizontally on a wall withOUT also having to buy the Horizontal Adapter (which costs another $14.95)?
    Yes, if you wanted to use a couple of L brackets, you could do this. The chances of the pre-drilled holes in the L brakets  lining up with the pre-drilled holes in the Air Mount are open to question, though. So, you may need to some drilling.
    I suppose you could design your own horizonatal adapter out of wood, but once you did that, you might as well use another piece of wood for the top shelf. Then, you don't need the Air Mount at all.
    Are there mounting holes in the Air Mount to allow for that?
    The Air Mount has a dozen, maybe more pre-drilled holes. As you might imagine, the Horizontal Adapter mates perfectly with the Air Mount.  The picture in the link below will give you a good idea.

  • Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

    Is the maximum number of users for Airport Extreme per device, i.e. 2 AEBS = 100 users, one AEBS extending the other on the same wireless network?

    50 users per device, assuming that the "main" router is setup to deliver an adequate number of network IP addresses for all devices.
    2 AEBS = 100 users, but that is really more of a theoretical max. 
    If you really need 100 connections, it would be much better to use 3 AEBS to spread things out.

  • Extending the range of Airport Extreme in house with walls

    Any sugggestions on the best way to extend the range of Airport Extreme? The base unit is located in an office at one end of a house. I would like to be able to connect from rooms at the other end of the house, some 70' away. There are three walls betgween the base and the far room.

    I have essentially the same problem, except that our router is a Netgear product (NOT my choice, my husband is a PC guy). I get a great connection when my G5 is on the desk, but if I put it under the desk (which is where I really, really want it) I get nothing.
    Will an Airport Express do anything for me? Or do I need to get an AirPort Extreme router? If I get an Airport Extreme router and locate it closer to my computer can I set it up to work with the same cable internet service we have the Netgear connected to? Or do I have to have a totally separate service? My computer is downstairs, the Netgear is up. Moving it is not an option. Our house is wired for cat 5 throughout. (No idea if this matters, I'm clueless on this stuff). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.  Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

    I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • Where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

    where do I download drivers for airport extreme.....my iPad can not be set up by he current software

    I have an airport extreme with updated software(latest) and I setup an Ipad 3 on it with ios6(wirelessly). You can access the airport to update it with the utitlity app on an ios device, mac, or pc. I dont think it has anything to do with the airport software. Did you try rebooting the airport, then trying again?
    Like james said, maybe more detail would help someone help you.

  • Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?

    Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?  The installation CD simply says that the software can't be installed while running this OSX.

    Mountain Lion already has the most recent, updated version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac. The version on your CD is out of date, so you can trash the CD.
    Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility.

  • How do I use an Airport Express as a "range-extender" for Airport Extreme?

    I bought an Airport Express with the intent of using it as an "extender" for my Airport Extreme, but I find no paper that describes how this is done. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks and cheers, Veit

    Thanks for the info. Try this to see if it will do the job for you:
    _On your AirPort Extreme (AEBS):_
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the *Wireless tab* below the row of icons
    Your *Wireless Mode* should already be set to “Create a Wireless Network”
    Make sure there is a check mark next to “Allow this network to be extended”
    Note the setting for Wireless Security as you will need this for the next setup on the AirPort Express
    Update to save changes
    _On the AirPort Express (AX):_
    Hold the reset button in on the AX until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly
    Temporarily, move the AX near your computer and connect a short ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup.
    Click the *Wireless tab* below the row of icons
    *Wireless Mode*….should be set to “Extend a wireless network”. If you don’t see this choice, hold down the option key when you click on the selection box
    Wireless Network Name…the name of your main AirPort Extreme network should appear as a choice. Click to select it.
    Place a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
    Wireless Security….exact same setting as your AEBS
    Wireless Password…exact same password as your AEBS
    Confirm Password
    Click the Base Station tab to assign a name and device password for the AX, set time zone, etc.
    Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes if you wish
    Update to save settings. You can disconnect the ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location.
    For further reference, Apple's instructions for the "extend" setup appear on pages 43-44 in the Apple AirPort Networks Guide.
    Please post back on your results.

  • A visitor from Japan is unable to connect an iPhone or a Macbook Air to my Airport Extreme it says the password is invalid but the password works for other devices?

    Am unable connect a MacBook Air to Airport Extreme using a valid password get an error message that password is invalid. The Mac belongs to a visitor from Japan?

    Test by simplifying the name for the wireless and set names for the two bands..
    eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz.
    Then use no security.. does the MBA and iphone then join..
    If so put back security.. wpa2 with simple password, no spaces pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    If no connection test with fixed channels .. say 11, 9, 6 in that order for 2.4ghz.
    Don't worry about 5ghz for now.. if it still won't join it is somehow incompatible.. you need to reset the Japanese devices but I am not sure how.

  • Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

    I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • Is there an extender for Airport Extreme?

    Airport Extreme does not reach the back of the house. Is ther an extender?

    You can buy and use an Airport Express as an extender for your wifi signal.  Generally, the Express would be located halfway between the Extreme and the area that you want to extend the wifi signal to.  The Airport and Extreme must be in radio range of each other to be able to perform this function.

  • Antenna for Airport Extreme

    I have recently moved to a larger house and find that my Airport Extreme can no longer provide reliable coverage to remote locations within the house.
    I would really appreciate your suggestions for a reliable, reasonably priced antenna that would extend the Airport Extreme's range.
    Thanks for the help.

    Would the Dr. Bott's ExtendAIR Omni cut my bandwidth in half like a regular expander.
    An antenna is a passive device. It's used to focus the wireless signal in certain directions, depending on it's design. It does not however put any additional energy into the broadcast - it just takes whatever energy is being put into it and concentrates that in a specific direction. For omni antennas, the energy that is normally sent straight down and straight up is focused into a horizontal plane, extending the reach of the wireless device horizontally.
    With the AEBS, if you can imagine, the internal antenna pattern is a sphere with the AEBS being in the center of that sphere. Omni-directional antennas patterns are more like a donut, extending farther than the AEBS's sphere, but only in a single dimension.
    Since bandwidth is dependent on signal strength, the farther you can extend the range of the signal, the more likely you will still have higher data rates farther away from the base station. Antennas, are typically, rated in dBi. The AEBS is pretty much an isotropic antenna, and thus has a 0 dBi...and the Dr. Bott antenna is + 3.5 dBi. The higher the dBi, the more "sensitive" the antenna (in a particular direction.)
    On the other hand, boosters can actually increase the strength of the signal being transmitted. The AEBS transmission is around 32 mW. Boosters come in a variety of strengths, typically between 100 & 500 mW.
