,How can i extend my wireless connection

I can make it work with two separate ssid's and networks but when I try to set it up "correctly", the airport utility can't find the linksys network.
Set up the AirPort Extreme to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name (just type in the name using AirPort Utiliyt), same wireless security setting and same wireless network password as the Linksys network and make sure that the AirPort is in Bridge Mode.
Then you will have a "roaming" network. Your computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal as it moves around the house.

How can I extend the wireless range on my BT Hub 3

I currently have the BT hub 3 and find that as I have quite a rambling house and the broadband is located at one side rather than in the middle of the house I cannot get a signal in all areas. This is massively frustration for the children when they wish to do their homework in the peace of their own rooms - how can I extend the range, without having to pay through the nose, but easy enough for someone who is not massively technical? - Thanks in advance

HT4259 How can I extend a wireless network from a 2Wire modem by usingan Airport Express? Years ago I could do this just by plugging in the (old) Airport Express. TIA Travelmonger

How can I extend a wirelss network from a 2Wire modem using an Airport Express? Some years ago using the old Express I was able to do so simply by plugging on the Express witha minimum of tweaking. Still the same?
TIA
Travelmonger

Still the same?
Unfortunately, no.
Apple's newer "Extend a wireless network" feature was designed to only work with other Apple products, so it would be extremely unlikely that it would work with a 2-Wire device if you plan to extend using wireless only.
If you plan to connect the AirPort Express to the 2-Wire device using a wired Ethernet connection, the Express can be configured to provide more wireless coverage that way.

How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you

How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater".

How can I extend a wireless network with my AirPort Extreme Base Station?

Today I purchased a brand new, dual-band base station to replace my Belkin N router, as I have had a handful of firewall, coverage, and other networking problems in my house lately. First off, I really like this router and it was very easy to setup. My MacBook Pro could use both bands and established a 300 Mbit/s link very quickly. After tweaking various settings to my liking, I was also able to maximize the connections on many of my non-Apple machines and devices. I noticed that the range of its network was better than my Belkin's, but unfortunately, it failed to completely saturate the area sufficiently. Since the Belkin still works well enough, I was hoping I could bridge them together one way or the other.
The Belkin router does not support any bridge mode that I know of, but the AirPort Extreme should be able to join a wireless network and then extend that over WiFi and Ethernet, correct? I would like to place them at opposite ends of my home so I can get strong WiFi signals everywhere inside. However, when I try to get the base station to connect to my preexisting WiFi connection, it tells me that I can't extend the network and fails to join.
So is this possible? And if it is, how would I go about setting it up? I know it would probably be easier if I had a simple range booster such as an AirPort Express, but I didn't buy one while I was at Fry's since I hoped I could make use of the older Belkin. This is its product page, if needed. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sorry, but no. The AirPort Extreme Base Station cannot "join" a network like the AirPort Express or Time Capsule, but you wouldn't want to do this anyway because in this configuration these devices will only perform as wireless clients ... not routers.
Instead, the AirPort Extreme can either be extended or can extend another 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort ... or a very very few non-AirPort devices.
One option for your Belkin would be to connect it to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet but this may not meet your requirements or be a desirable situation. Otherwise, you would need to get another AirPort to extend your current one.

Can you extend a wireless connection from one time capsule to another wirelessly?

We have two time capsules, one is connected to our modem and is transmitting a wireless network. It is in a really out of the way location, and we would like to set up a network printer in a different location on that network, so we got another time capsule (to hook up to the printer at a different location). Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer? (If yes, HOW?)

Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule
Yes, if the second Time Capsule is located where it can receive a good wireless signal from the other Time Capsule.
To test, move a laptop to the proposed location of the second Time Capsule. Log on using wireless on the laptop and spend some time to make sure that you have a good, solid reliable Internet connection. If you do, then the Time Capsule should work well at that location.
You would use AirPort Utility to configure the second Time Capsule to "Extend a wireless network". If you open AirPort Utility now as a test, can you "see" both Time Capsules there?
The reason that we ask is that you might need to check some settings on the "main" Time Capsule to be able to configure the second Time Capsule correctly.
with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer?
If the same printer works on your Time Capsule now, then it should work on the second Time Capsule. If it is working now, you may not even need to re-install it again when it is connected to the second Time Capsule.
This is one of those times when you will not know if something will work until you actually try.

How can I extend my wireless network using Airport Express and an Airport Extreme on BT Infinity?

I have BT Infinity and I am using the Time Capsule with Airport Extreme as my router. Working well (even on wireless). I want to extend the wireless network with an Airport Express, but I cannot work out the settings necessary in Airport Utility. I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a Mac Pro. Please help!

BT,
I've read several of your posts, thanks for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge.
I'm in a situation similar to the one described by 'scoutusmaximus'. Seeking the flexibility of a standalone router, I finally upgraded my 4-yr old ATT DSL gateway (modem+router) to a Comcast standalone modem + the ASUS RT-AC66U: http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTAC66U/
Typically, I stick with all things Apple but the ASUS router seemed fairly superior to the current-gen base station (on paper, anyway; time will tell when it comes to performance) so, for once, I jumped ship. My plan was to extend the ASUS wired/wireless network using my TimeCapsule and 2 Airport Expresses in bridge mode, however, a google search turned up several unhappy customers that claim those devices don't play well with non-Apple routers, especially when it comes to 'extending' a network.
Questions:
1. Can I successfully extend the wired/wireless network created by the ASUS router using the 3 airport devices listed above w/out negatively impacting performance? I'd rather have 1 wireless network as opposed to creating a new wireless network with the TC and then extending it with the AP Expresses... though I'd consider that option down the line if it came to that.
2. Will the LAN ports on the TimeCapsule remain functional?
Btw, my house is wired so, I can reach all 3 devices via ethernet cable coming off of a central, managed switch. Supposedly, you only lose the LAN ports on the TC if you extend wirelessly.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How can i extend this wifi connection by using 3TB time capsule? I have a mac book pro i7

Hi, i have a wifi in my house connected to an adsl wifi modem with fibernet speed. I just bought a time capsule with 3 TB and installed it at home. However during the first installation i couldn't connect TC to my modem with ethernet cable due to the absence of the cable.
I would like ask if i can extend the wifi range of my network by connecting my TC to my modem without a cable after the first installation with cable is done?
If yes,
Could you please explain how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

No, there is no modem in the TC.. you must continue to use the existing modem.
That can be bridged if your ISP allows it, and use PPPoE client on the TC. It is then the main router of the network.
Sometimes that setup is not possible.. the ISP supplied modem will not bridge or the ISP doesn't use PPPoE as there are a number of different methods to connect.. but the TC only supports that one.
Otherwise just plug the TC into the existing modem router and use it in router bridge mode.. this is the simplest setup and easy to do.
Create a wireless network and you can then use the TC instead of the main router for wireless if you like.

How can I extend my wireless network with the Time Capsule?

I recently bought a Time Capsule and set it up, backed up all my data, etc. It is currently plugged in to my AT&T Uverse wireless router via a LAN CAT5e cable. I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it. And if possible, how so? Or does it ALWAYS have to be wired'connected to my router for the internet to work?
Thanks in advance.

I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it.
Sorry but no. Extending using only wireless would require that the Time Capsule connect to another Apple router that is producing the wireless network.
Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple routers to be able to extend the signal wirelessly.

How can i locate my wireless connection security settings

I need to see the type of security that my iPhone4 get when connected to my home router. Thanks

Log in to your router - you should be able to determine what security settings are enabled.
The phone doesn't tell you this infomation.

How can I not allow wireless access when extending a network?

I have two Airport Extremes, one extends the network of the other. How can I not allow wireless access on the remote Extreme when extending a network? I could do it with Airport Utility 5.6, but not with version 6 on Mavericks.

Correct. Use another Mac or even a PC running Airport Utility 5.x. Once you have the extending Extreme configured the way you want, Mavericks will not change the setting on the extending Extreme.

Can I extend my wireless network with my old Airport?

No problem; ask as many questions as you need to.
How do I reconfigure the Snow as a bridge to allow the AEBSn to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for the entire network?
I don't have a Snow to verify this, but it should be similar to the later base stations when using the AirPort Admin Utility.
To set up the Snow base station as a bridge, either connect to the Snow's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the Snow, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
o Apply the new setting.

How can i test my vpn connection?

so recently i decided to test if ver 1.3.0.3 of the quickvpn client would work better with the 1.3.0.5 rvs4000 firmware. i loaded quickvpn to an xp pro computer (freshly built, i might add) and got to work. in order to test the connection, i attempted to piggy back off an unsecured wireless network. this network is on the same ISP network as i am.
i use dynamic DNS, and the unsecured wireless network could resolve my IP correctly, but for some reason i couldnt connect to my home network from the unsecured network. my router is set to respond to lan requests, but i couldnt ping it. my router passes HTTP traffic to a computer in my network, but i couldnt bring up the webpage. finally, my router responds with the router config page over port 443, and i couldnt bring that up.
so i used my ISP's dialup service to test. initially, as always, i had a million problems with the vpn client. systematically, i tried to resolve the issues. i installed the patch in the readme for quickvpn. i checked log files to see where stuff was failing. eventually, i could connect to the VPN, but would get that "remote gateway is not responding" crap. i know of a (poor) workaround for this which allows you to "finalize" the connection, but that workaround doesnt allow you to ping around in your network. sometime later, after randomly messing with settings, the tunnel would connect without the workaround. i have no idea what "fixed" this.
despite all this, my 28.8Kbps connection wouldnt allow me to do anything meaningful on my network. i couldnt connect to the router or to a server of mine (http or fileshare). the only thing i could do was ping internal devices. other requests seemed to "hang" rather than timeout or do anything more concrete. basically, i gave up on testing using dialup, even though my router and the client software confirm a good connection. but i still wasnt convinced.
next, i figured i could create some type of "DMZ" on my network by placing a switch between my ISP's modem and my router. im not a cisco network professional by any means, but im pretty familiar with networking on a above-average level. that said, despite my best, i couldnt get my quickvpn computer to see my router from the "DMZ".
finally, i figured i could just test the tunnel while directly connected to my network's lan. bad idea. everything seems to go okay until it locks up on "activating policy". rebooting or otherwise ending the negotiation ends in the computer being unable to do anything anymore. when i try to ping anything, i get "negotiating ip security" ad infinitum. the only way i could fix this was by doing a system restore.
so here's the question: how can i test my quickvpn connection?why can't i just tunnel through my network? and before you scream that you can't, thegreenbow vpn client has NO PROBLEM connecting to my rvs4000 while connected to my own network.

Hi Aaron,
I am going exactly the same thing as you however, I had my cousin buy and install a RVS4000 at his house in Australia.
I access it from the USA so that I can help manage his Local Area Network, he is just not technical..
I setup a DDNS client on his RVS4000 so that I can always get to his Router via a domain name rather than a IP address.
I noticed that you didn't mention anything regarding importing client certificate into the directory of the VPN client on your PC.
I also noticed I disabled IPSec passthrough on the router in Australia, see the pictures below, not sure why, but the VPN client is working.
I also did not setup any gateway to gateway VPN tunnels, Only added a client , exported certificate as per the manual, See the last screen capture below.
You will also note if you view the screen captures that my cousins RVS4000 has not been upgraded to the new code.Is there a reason for that...not really...he's just a user, not really technical. Also note I have not added any VPN tunnels on my RVS4000.
I have a reasonably reliable connection between the USA and Australia. I didn;t have to play with any other options, just add users to the VPN client database.
Your description of the working environment of your PC is missing details on the version of XP, so i will mention the following taken from the software release notes of the RVS4000 ;
There is a known issue with Windows XP SP2 Firewall.
ICMP packets are always dropped by the firewall when the firewall is enabled.
This issue causes the QuickVPN client to be unable to establish a tunnel with the remote QuickVPN server successfully.
Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue, which you can get from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889527/en-us
After you install the patch, the issue should be resolved. You can also fix this issue by upgrading Windows XP to SP3.
You cannot plug a PC on the same network as the router for testing, they must be on dissimilar WAN networks for testing purposes.
Your remote PC VPN client will not be allocated a IP address in the RVS4000's network, hosts behind the RVS4000 will still respond to pings, as they direct the responses to their default gateway, the RVS4000.
The thegreenbow VPN client is a distracter at this point costing 50 something EURO for a license, lets try to get the quickVPN client working !
So, if you still wish try the following, firstly make sure your XP has been upgraded to SP3;
1. If you upgraded your router to the new version of code, then reset your router to factory defaults to re-initialize your router, yes start again.
2. Export the VPN client certificate to the directory that contains the VPN client. In my case it is;
"C:\Program Files\Cisco Small Business\QuickVPN Client"
3. add a VPN client account to the router
4. Use port 60443 from the quickVPN client. and try VPNing to the router.
5 hmmm, if the client still fails try disabling IPSec Passthrough on the router for grins and giggles.
If this fails, call the SBSC at the following location for resolution;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_small_business_support_center_contacts.html
good luck ...regards Dave

How do I extend a wireless conection? for apple

How do I extend a wireless conection? In Apple.

Depends on what brand of router you have. If you have an Airport Extreme Base Station or Time Capsule, then you can use an Airport Express to extend the network wirelessly for use by a device using Ethernet, e.g., a computer or network printer. The latest Airport Express has two Ethernet ports available.
Alternatively, you can run an Ethernet line from the router to the Airport Express and create a new network that is distant from the router. This would work on an AEBS, Time Capsule, or a non-Apple router.
