Extend, join or create network with AE

I've acquired a new  AE and want to use it with a Sky hub. What is the recommended option:
1. create a wireless network obviously this is in addition the existing Sky wifi network.
2. Extend a wireless network
3. join a wireless network
Any advice much appreciated

The options I have available:
AE
1. WPA/WPA2 personal
2. WPA2 personal (current setting)
3. WPAE Enterprise
SKY
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
  WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)
  WPA2-PSK (AES)
  WPA/WPA2-PSK (Mixed Mode)
Current setting is WPA2-PSK(AES)
It seems to work fine with the current settings.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4.  I am able to access my network with all of my other devices.  How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4.

    Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
    Bruce's  instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
    - delete any previously set up printers
    - scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
    - remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
    - reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
    - print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
    - got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
    - go to the sys pref > print scan
    - add the HP 8000 printer
    - click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
    - click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
    - finish (this page may freeze up.  close the browser)
    - go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
    - go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x).  Check that the SSID is your network
    - go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
    - try printing something to your printer.  It might take a little time the first print.

  • Trying to extend my airport extreme network with an airport express

    I´m trying to extent my network with an airport express 802.11g.
    I´ve been fallowing the guide:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    however, when I´m trying to configure the extended wifi base station ( point 8.)  it won´t let me choose "extend a wireless network".
    The only options I have is "create network", "join network" and "participate in a wds network".
    I´ve been trying to find a solution all day.
    Is there anyone out there who has hade the same problem or knows what it could be?
    I´ve made sure that my base station connected to the internet through ethernet has checked the "allow this network to be extended"

    however, when I´m trying to configure the extended wifi base station ( point 8.)  it won´t let me choose "extend a wireless network"
    Unfortunately, the older AirPort Express 802.11"g" model does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used the way that you want.
    The article that you reference should be clear about this:
    This article explains how to set up an 802.11"n" extended wireless network.
    You need to use one of the newer AirPort Express 802.11"n" models to gain the ability to "extend a wireless network".

  • Extending an existing wireless network with an airport express

    My wireless signal is quite weak in my room so I'm looking for a way to extend the range of the network by using an airport express. I understand i can't do this wirelessly but is it possible to run an ethernet cable from my existing router to the airport express in my room and then have a stronger signal in my room?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the discussion area, Aaron!
    If you connect an ethernet cable from your existing router to the AirPort Express, and then configure the Express to "Create a wireless network" with the same name, security settings and password, this will in effect, extend your current wireless network.
    The Express must be configured as a "bridge" to operate correctly on your network when you do this, meaning that the setting for Connection Sharing on the Express will be set to "Off (Bridge Mode).

  • There was an error joining the Airport network with WEP or WPA

    I use a wireless adsl modem router (Philips). I can only connect via wireless to this router without encryption.
    As soon as I use WEP or WPA encryption, I get the error message "There was an error joining the Airport network".
    Thank you for any suggestion.

    Here are some articles that may help you:

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106250
    Do not overlook the possibility that the router itself may be incompatible or may require a firmware update to work properly. You should configure the router to use WPA2, preferably, as this is the most compatible form of encryption with Airports.

  • Extend my old wireless network with help of Airport Express

    Hello,
    I have a one year old Siemens SL2_141 router which I was using to create a WiFi Network and simultaneously use the Ethernet port to connect to my PC.
    Now recently I purchased a new Airport Express, and I am not able to extend my old Siemens WiFi Network with the help of this, it shows me "This network can't be extended". Can anyone help me if I am missing something here.
    Do I need to change and other settings on my old router.
    I have uploaded few snapshot of settings of my old router here: http://cl.ly/2v8I

    But many people here pointed out that, they can extend there Linksys router's WiFi network with Airport Express
    Sorry, but the only known compatible Linksys routers are the models WRT54G and WRT54GS. All of the other Linksys models are not compatible.
    You have a Siemens router. It is not on the list of known compatible devices, so as Tesserax points out, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to configure it to work with the AirPort Express.
    Lists of the the known compatible devices are on the Internet and have been posted many times on this forum. The list is as follows:
    3com OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router model 3crwdr100a-72 but ONLY with NO encryption
    Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
    BT Voyager 2091 or 2100
    Buffalo WGR-G54
    Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not latest versions v5)
    Netgear WGR614 v6
    Thompson 585v6 wireless router (40 bit WEP works but stronger encryption does not)

  • Extending time capsule based network with airport express

    Have installed airport via time capsule. would like to extend range of network with and airport express unit. is this possible and how?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +"would like to extend range of network with and airport express unit. is this possible and how?"+
    Yes, possible to extend the "main" network. If you have the dual band Time Capsule, note that the "guest" network cannot be extended. Here's how to set it all up:
    _On the Time Capsule:_
    Click Manual Setup when you open AirPort Utility
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode should be "Create a wireless network" (It's probably already set this way)
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Update to save settings:
    _On the Express(n):_
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab
    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
    When you select "Extend.." your wireless network created by the TC will appear as a choice to extend. Select it and enter the wireless password.
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
    Update to save settings.
    Whenever you plug the Express in, it will automatically extend the wireless network from the Time Capsule. The ethernet port is also "live" in this setup.
    For more info, refer to the "Designing AirPort Networks" guide, pages 43-44.

  • Join a wireless network with Vista

    I am having a problem to make the AE to work with my existing network. I have a wireless network that I set up ("ad hoc") to acces the internet with my laptop - the modem is installe in the desktop.
    I am trynig to make the AE to enter in this existing wireless network but I can't! When I select "join a wireless network" I expect to have in the "Network Name" box my netnork name but it doesn't appear! Then I type the name and the password of my network, I update the AE then.... nothing! Dead!
    The wireless network I have set keeps working but the AE doesn't enter in the network.
    Am I doing anything wrong? Any tip will be useful!
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all thanks for the posting!
    Yes, when the AE is "blank" I can see it in both computers (strong signal), the desktop and the laptop. And it is constant green. Then I enter the Utility software and again everything is fine. It allows me to make all the configuration then when I update... boing!!! It dies. My "ad hoc" network continues working but the AE is dead. No signal! Then I go again there, make a reset, and the AE is back to live.
    I guees there is something wrong with the way I want to use it, I mean, I want the AE to enter my existing network (WEP-128 bits). I give all the directions (SSID and Password) correctly but once it is updated with the info it doens't respond anymore.
    I tried it many times and nothing. Now I am trying to create another network (WAP) and try again to configure the AE.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Extending a hidden wireless network with airport extreme

    For some reason, I'm unable to get my second AEBS to extend the network of my primary AEBS.
    Network Topology:
    Internet =>
    AEBS #1:  Gen5 (tower) AEBS running v7.7.3 as my primary AP  =>
    => Linksys 8-port Hub  =>
    LAN Devices
    => AEBS #2:  Gen4 (flat) AEBS running v7.6.4 intended to extend the above network
    Current Settings:
    The AEBS #1 is configured as follows:
    Create a wireless network
    Do not broadcast the network name for either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz
    Timed Access set with all MAC addresses established in the table including both AEBS's and both their frequencies
    WPA2 Personal set
    Router Mode: DHCP & NAT
    The AEBS #2 is configured as follows:
    Extend a wireless network
    Do not broadcast the network name for either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz
    Timed Access set with all MAC addresses established in the table including both AEBS's and both their frequencies
    WPA2 Personal set
    Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    At this point, AEBS #2 cannot find the network I entered and suggests I select a network from the drop down.  Of course, when I click the drop down, there is no network listed because AEBS #1 isn't broadcasting its network name.
    So my question is this... will AEBS #2 actually extend the network of AEBS #1 under these circumstances or am I relegated to setting up AEBS #2 as creating another network with the same name, hidden but in bridge mode as above?  The reason I would like to extend the network and not have two networks under the same name is because I believe its affecting device connectivity and performance.
    Thanks...

    Try unhide the name of the network on AEBS 1
    Then, configure AEBS 2 to extend the network
    Then, go back and hide the network on AEBS 1, then AEBS 2
    The reason I would like to extend the network and not have two networks under the same name is because I believe its affecting device connectivity and performance.
    We assume that you are configuring the AEBS 2 to extend using wireless.  AEBS 2 must use the same wireless network name as AEBS 1 when it extends using a wireless connection. Not possible to use another wireless network name on AEBS 2 when it extends using wireless.
    If AEBS 2 connects using Ethernet, then you can set it up with a different wireless network name. In that case it will not be setup to "extend a wireless network".....the correct setting would be "create a wireless network".
    You must already know that there are a number of free utilities available on the Internet that will reveal a "hidden" network in seconds, and that anyone who wants to "see" your network can do so very easily. But, it's your call.

  • Can't create Network with Airport

    Before installing Snow Leopard I could create a network with my mac mini's airport so I could share the ethernet connection but since I installed Snow Leopard, when I try to create a Network the message "Can't create a computer to computer network" appears in the screen.
    Does this happen to anyone else?
    Does anyone know the way to solve it?

  • Extending and airport extreme network with wired connection to a express

    I am getting fed up of deadspots in my house that now seem to have become much worse recently. After giving up on configuring my extreme router to avoid issues I now want to extend the network.
    If I put in a network cable from the extreme router to an airport express on the other side of the house can this be configured to be the same wireless network?
    I know express routers have an option of extending the network is this for wired or wireless or both and if I do this will it show up as one wireless network with no interference issues?. At the moment I am planning on getting an express airport and using some of those power cable ethernet adapters to link the two routers up should this work okay?
    Many thanks
    Andy

    Welcome to the discussions, Andy!
    If I put in a network cable from the extreme router to an airport express on the other side of the house can this be configured to be the same wireless network?
    Yes, post back if you need more details about this.
    and if I do this will it show up as one wireless network with no interference issues?
    There will be no interference issues between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express. However, if you live in an area with a number of other wireless networks around you, or you have cordless phones, there may well be some interference issues to tackle.
    I am planning on getting an express airport and using some of those power cable ethernet adapters to link the two routers up
    That should work assuming that both ethernet powerline adapters will be on the same master electrical circuit. I would suggest that you get a clear understanding of the store's return policy though...just in case.

  • Extending AEBS(n dual) network with AX

    Hi,
    I've read all or many of the threads here in relation to extending a wireless network with Airport Express. I have an AEBS connected to my cable modem and ethernet wired to my iMac. The AEBS shares a printer and disk across my machines. I have a number of windows laptops, both XP and Windows 7. I also have appleTV.
    By following the various instructions i have found on these discussions, i have the extended network set up and working pretty well. The AX is providing better signal for me way downstairs where the appleTV was experiencing fluctuating poor signal from teh AEBS. So far, so good.
    A couple of things that are bugging me which are apparent when i look at the wireless clients connected to each of the AEBS and AX when the network is alive and running.
    If i look at the Extreme first, it shows the Express as a b/g/n client. If i look at the Express (which is extending the network) it shows the Extreme as type "Wireless" client. The express appearing as a client on the extreme has a relatively poor signal strength. The extreme appearing as a client on the express shows a very strong signal.
    I move the express into the same room as the AEBS, just 10 feet apart with no obstructions etc, and the same thing happens - high noise and low signal on the express appearing as a client on the extreme.
    This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Firstly, should they each appear as a client to each other? Wouldn't the two devices pass data over the high speed wireless link showing as type "wireless" on the Express?
    Secondly, why the imbalance in signals? Does this mean the transmit side of my AX is not working properly?
    I'm hoping i've got some setup problem causing this issue. As i said earlier, the performance seems ok from my various devices (just surfing and piping airtunes), but i can't understand the poor link i am seeing and i am not sure what impact it is having on my network performance. The rate shown on this link frequently goes as low as 1Mb/s.
    Any help/suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks Duane.
    I run airport utility on the iMac. The iMac is ethernet connected to the AEBS. I can see both of the devices (AEBS and AX) from the airport utility.
    To look at the wireless clients on each device i use airport utility > manual setup > advanced > Logging & Statistics > Logs and Statistics > Wireless Clients
    In terms of general behavior it appears ok - when i add a new wireless device it connects to the basestation which is nearest (best signal). I am just not sure that the connections between the two basestation devices are good enough to provide high bit rates through the network.

  • Is it possible to extend an Airport Extreme Network with a normal router ?

    Hi everyone !
    I know this question as been asked a lot before, but not in this way, I always saw : How to connect an Airport Extreme/Express to a Normal (D-Link, Linksys, Ect.) Router. What I wan't to do is connect a normal router to my existing Airport Extreme to extend the range of it. I know you can extend the network with an Airport Express, the thing is, i wan't to try with the router I replaced by the Airport Extreme. It's an D-Link DIR-615. If someone know how to do this it will be very nice and helpfull for me! I know on Apple website it says that it's not possible but some people seems to get it to work!
    Thanks a lot !
    (Sorry for my bad english i'm french Canadien)

    You can extend the wireless range of the AirPort with a D-Link or the other way around ... BUT only if the connection between them is wired. This would be the basis of a roaming network. If you must have them interconnected by wireless, then it will NOT work.

  • Best way to extend g and n networks with ethernet and AEBSn

    Can anyone suggest the best way to extend both b/g and n wireless networks using a dual band AEBS, an AEBSn and AXs b/g?
    I have two areas of the house served by cat5. Right now I have a wired AX set "Join wireless network" and an AEBS n wired and set to "Join wireless network". Wondering if that is the best way to do the b/g.
    I have an extra AX. Wondering if I could do AEBS Main to cat5 to small switch in other part of house with cat5 to AX set to "join wireless network" to extend the b/g and cat5 to the AEBS set to "extend network" to extend the n component of the network in the same space?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Yes "Solution 3:" is what you want to use.
    Yes your MacBook will pick the "best" base station to connect to at any given time. Only Apple's engineers know the algorithm used to determine which offers the "best" connection.
