How can i change my internet connection from Airport Extreme to my Time Machine

My laptop is connected to my Airport Extreme on the third floor.
If i take my laptop to the first floor to my Time Machine, my connection is lost with Airport Extreme.
It looks very logical to me that my laptop will automatically be connected to my Time Machine.......
But it does not......
What am i doing wrong..........has anybody an answer for me?
Thanks in advance

Are both of your Apple routers configured for an extended or roaming network?

How can I change my IP address in airport extreme?

I have an airport extreme and I would like to change the IP address. There is a renew DHCP tab next to IPv4 Address in Airport Utility, but if I click it doesn't change anything. I'm very green on IP addresses, how can I change the IP address?

I am currently connecting using DHCP. The reason I want to change my IP address is for security.
I see, thanks for the explanation.
Every time you connect to a website, any website, your IP address is sent along with the content you request. There is no avoiding that. It's the method by which the content is delivered to you, analogous to a return address on an envelope you send in the mail. It's not required for websites to maintain a log your IP address or the content you requested. Most of the time it's discarded.
That IP address sent with your web page request is the address of your ISP's router - not your AirPort Extreme. Its address can be used to identify only a broad geographical area, and only your ISP will know the location of the specific equipment it's using. To truly obscure your location from even that broad category requires connecting through a web proxy server, of which there are many to choose from. The only IP address that could be "tracked" using one of them could be anywhere around the world, and would change so often as to be useless to anyone wanting to locate you.
In any event specifying a fixed IP address for your Extreme will not accomplish anything in the way of security or privacy, and would be no different than using DHCP.
If you are concerned about privacy in general that is a very wide-ranging subject. I'll start by suggesting you avoid Google and all its products and services, for obvious reasons.

How can I change the country in my Airport Extreme wireless settings

I bought my Airport Extreme in the US. I live in the UK.
How can I change the wireless settings to show the UK (or Europe) as one of the available countries? At the moment it lists only countries in the Americas (Canada, US, Argentina etc...)

Others may know better!
Regards,
Shawn
This is exactly correct.. You can set the Time Zone to anywhere in the world but the wireless is regionalised.. it is part of the sales approach that you should buy the product in the market where it will be used.. the following are the regions.
From the md0a file.
FCC JAPAN ETSI APAC ROW FCC-DFS KOREA RUSSIA
You cannot alter this nor do Apple offer this service.. although I am pretty sure they will have a backdoor.
I have altered it for interest sake by soldering in a console port.. stop the bootloader and the following commands.
K30A>var
apple-sku=ETSI
apple-sn=6F94sxxssxxss
ethaddr=00:2xxxssxxb
K30A>
K30A>setvar apple-sku=APAC
K30A>
K30A>var
apple-sku=APAC
apple-sn=6F94sssxxxx
ethaddr=00:2sxxxssxxss
If you want the pin out to the serial port.. well I can even give you those. At least for a TC.. I am not in any way recommending this.. just showing you where it is hidden.
And this so far would only work on a Gen 4 or Gen 5 AE.. I haven't figured it out on Gen 1-3 nor of course am I about to try soldering in wireless to a Gen6 AE or Gen5 TC.. doubtless it will come to that at some point.

How can i share my internet connection from macbook pro to my iphone?

i need your help..

On your MBP, from the Apple menu, select System Preferences, click the Sharing icon, and then click Internet Sharing. Select the way your computer is connected to the Internet under "Share your connection from" (ethernet probably), In the "To computers using", select the WiFi check box.
Click the WiFi Options button and assign your new network a name. Turn on encryption if you like, enter a password, and click OK.
Back in the Sharing pane, click the Start button in the Internet Sharing section.
(to turn sharing off, go to the same place and click stop.)
On your iPhone, turn on WiFi under Settings > WiFi
Your iPhone serches for WiFi networks and yours should pop up with the name you gave it. If you turned on encryption (which you should to protect your data) enter the password and click Join.

"No Internet Connection" via AirPort Extreme bridged to Time Capsule

Hello,
We have a fairly large and odd home network consisting of a Comcast cable modem connected to a Netgear router, a Time Capsule wired to that one floor down (serving up WiFi and DHCP), and a new AirPort Extreme wired one floor below that, extending the WiFi network of the Time Capsule and set to bridge mode.
On one MacBook Pro (and possibly others, haven't had them available to test yet), trying to connect to WiFi while downstairs (i.e. to the AirPort Extreme) yields a strong wireless connection, but "no Internet connection"; checking via network diagnostics or the Network panel reveals that the MacBook Pro has no IP address. This seems odd, as it happens even if the connection is first made on the 2nd floor to the Time Capsule, where a valid IP is retrieved, and then carried downstairs; even though the same IP address should be valid, the laptop's WiFi menubar icon starts cycling again and eventually shows the "!" and reports no Internet connection. Checking the Network panel reveals no IP address via DHCP. However, if I let it sit for a minute or two, the IP address comes back (the same one!) and all is well, at least for a while.
I've tried switching to a manually-assigned static IP as a workaround, and that works perfectly well, but I'd like to get DHCP working properly if I can, for convenience's sake. Is there any reason why I should be having trouble with getting DHCP from the Time Capsule via the AirPort Extreme?

Actually, yeah, my predecessor explained that he was running DHCP on the Time Capsule instead of the Netgear because he hadn't needed DHCP prior to the adding of a WiFi point (all other nodes were on Ethernet), so it had always been turned off on the Netgear. But your suggestion makes a lot more sense, of course, so I've put the Time Capsule into bridge mode as well and started the DHCP server on the Netgear. Seems to be working with my iPhone, though that was always working okay. I won't have access to the laptop to test it until later this afternoon, but I have high hopes.
Thank you!

You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements. Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

Hello Emilaine
To change countries of the iTunes Store, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region. From there it is a matter of picking the U.K. Store and you should be good.

HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Stijn

Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod?

Hello everyone,
I own iPod Touch 4 with iOS 4.3.3 (8J2). I want my iPod be able to connect to the internet when WiFi broadcasting is not available around while I am on the go.
So my question is: Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod? With which smartphone or mobile OS other than iPhone/iOS?
I don't want to JB my iPod Touch.
I heard that smartphones with Android can tether the internet connection to iPod Touch, bu I am not sure, I searched the internet but couldn't find anything as I wanted.
Thanks, regards.

I've got a (now considered ancient) Nokia N95 8 GB mobile, with the app JoikuSpot Light on it - has been working really well though I wouldn't suggest buying Nokia if you were going to buy a new mobile...if you happen to get your hands on an old-ish Nokia or Ericsson (Symbian platform) Joiku will do a good job of creating a wifi hotspot.
