How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet.  I need to extend the range of my network:  1.  my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes).  for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC.  2.  I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do). 
For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network.  On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes.  The setup at this moment is:  TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network.  Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music.  I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?  How can I do this?  Thanks for the help !

I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended.  Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

  • How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

    How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

    Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.

  • How do I add a guest network to existing airport extreme configuration?

    I have an existing Airport Extreme configuation in my home Wifi network and I want to add a guest access point.  When I open the recently updated airport utilities, the screen no longer looks the way it used to, with the side bar on the left and my devices listed there for me to select (I also have an Airport Express).  I used to be able to select the Airport Extreme from the left side bar, then hit continue to change any settings.  Well now, since it updated, the screen looks different, with internet at the top, pointing to the Airport Extreme, then the Airport Express.  When I select the Airport Extreme, it no longer gives me the option to change the settings for it, which is where my problem lies!  Any help?  I know it's probably something very simple that I am missing, but I'm at a loss. 

    Why would I download a lower version of AirPort Utility?
    To gain more functionality.....since AirPort Utility 6.0 is otherwise known as "AirPort Utility Lite" on the forums. It's a "first try" for Apple with a new look. While it does look nice, it has been downgraded as far as the features are concerned.
    For example, if you open AirPort Utility 5.6 and click on the AirPort Extreme on the left, your Generation version will be displayed on the right side of the page.  There are many more advanced settings available in AirPort Utility 5.6 as well...that are not available on 6.0.
    But, you don't have to install AirPort Utility 5.6 if you don't want to. I suggested it because it offers more features and will also look exactly the same as the AirPort Utility that you have used previously.
    If your AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, this indicates that you have another device...probably a modem/router....which is acting as the main router on your network. Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme in this case.
    If you can post back with the make and model number of your "modem", we can check to confirm.
    Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be enabled unless you configure the AirPort Extreme to be the "main" router on your network, which is likely not possible. If you try to configure the AirPort Exteme otherwise, you will receive error messages and the network will not function correctly.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

  • Can not see Guest Network tab on Airport Extreme-

    I have an Airport Extreme base station with the Guest Network enabled. Last week my neighbour bought a brand new Airport Extreme base station and asked me to help set it up. Problem is that I can't see the Guest Network tab on his Airport Extreme when I use the Airport Utility. I can see it on mine.
    In fact, as the networks are close I can see both airports at the same time. I have verified that the firmware versions are the same.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance.

    Your friend likely has a gateway (combination modem/router) from his service provider. Since this device performs as both a modem and a router, and the AirPort Extreme is also a router, you have two routers in series on the same netowrk.
    When this occurs, the second router...the AirPort Extreme in this case....must be configured in Bridge Mode for correct network operation.
    Check the following setting:
    AirPort Utility > Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Is the setting for Connection Sharing set to Off (Bridge Mode)?
    If yes, the Guest Network feature is not available in this setting. Your friend will need to replace his gateway with a simple modem if he wants to enable the Guest Network feature.

  • How can I create a VPN network between my offices?

    I want to create a conection between my two offices so that they can work better towether.
    I downloaded the OSX Server v2.2 but I haven't been able to create the connection. I have read the help information in the app, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
    here is what I did:
    I created a VPN Connection in Network preferences, then i oppened the server.app and activate the VPN service.
    I fill all the fields, then in the other office i created the VPN Connecion in network preferences and filled out with the information of the other network, but it wasnt able to canect. I might not have all that is needed, here is what I have:
    IMac mid 2010 with OS X server v2.2, this one will be the server host.
    mac mini new, this one will be the client.
    broadband Internet conection in both of my offices.
    I would really apreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.
    Is there a manual that explains how to do thisconnection?

    On the gateway to the remote network, for L2TP over IPSec you need to forward UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 to the endpoint.
    You also need either a static external IP address or a domain name for the gateway. Internally, the enpoint needs a static address.

  • How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

    So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
    After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
    On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
    My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall)  and my external devices.
    Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
    Thanks,
    Andres

    You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
    You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
    You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

  • How to setup a guest network on an airport extreme?

    I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Javier Vazquez

    I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network.
    The article that hanuolaohu posted is interesting, but it never tells you that the AirPort Extreme must be connected to a simple modem to allow the Guest Network feature to be enabled.
    If you have a "gateway" or "modem/router" device, this acts as another router on the network....not as a simple modem...so the Guest Network tab will not appear when you try to setup the device.
    So, first we need to check on the device that you call your "modem". What is the make and model number of this device?

  • How can i access my hdd hooked to my airport extreme base station at home, from another place,office,school..?

    i have an airport extreme base station ,i conneted a hdd and i want to acces the hdd with my macbook from another place ...office...school....

    I would appreciate if someone could tell me how the AirPort Extreme differs from any regular router.
    The AirPort Extreme is a combination router, wireless access point, and Ethernet switch. It also provides both external USB hard drive and printer sharing. So, it is not much different than most other routers on the market today. The one main difference is how you administer it. Unlike most other routers that employ a web-based administration interface, the AirPorts use a dedicated utility, called the AirPort Utility.
    I do not have any OS X devices, but I have a lot of iOS devices.  If my understanding is correct, I can set up the AirPort from an iOS device.
    Yes. There are versions of the AirPort Utility for OS X, Windows, or iOS devices.
    Also, I need to know how I would connect my Synology NAS system to the AirPort Extreme network via an Ethernet cable.  I would need to be able to acces the files on the NAS through Windows clients.  My Synology NAS currently has a web interface....would I still be able to access that web interface with the AirPort?
    Your Synology NAS would connect to the AirPort Extreme pretty much the same as for any other manufacturer's routers. That is, you would connect it to one of the available LAN (opposing arrows) ports on the Extreme. You would still use the same web-based interface as before.
    Note: When connected to an Ethernet port, the NAS would still function as usual. The AirPort Extreme would not provide any file sharing functionality when connected in this manner. All file sharing features would be the responsibility of the NAS device.

  • HT4628 I've lost connectivity with my guest network on my airport extreme

    When I last updated the firmware on my Airport, my guest network lost connectivity to the internet.  Any ideas on how to restore?  Rebooting did not help.

    Hey szmikela,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. I understand you are experiencing issues with your AirPort. You might wish to attempt a hard reset, or factory default reset. For more information, see the following:
