How do I discover devices on network?

How do I discover what devices are part of my Airport Extreme network and find out what their IP addresses are?

I think you misunderstood. Both the MAC address and IP address will be displayed when you use the instructions from Tesserax.
But, if you don't know what the MAC address is for your computer, for example, you won't know which IP address is associated with the device.
You will see a list of all of the devices on your network displayed in this format:
22:ab:44:zz:66:yy 10.0.1.3
If you don't know which device 22:ab:44:zz:66:yy is, knowing that it has been assigned an IP address of 10.0.1.3 won't tell you very much.

  • How / When Does a Device Jump from the 2.4 GHz Network to the 5.0 GHz Network

    I understand -- through another thread that I started -- that the Guest Network will be both 2.4 GHz as well as 5.0 GHz....I would like to understand how / when does a device jump from the 2.4 GHz network to the 5.0 GHz network as I understand that: the 2.4 GHz network is slower but has greater range relative to the 5.0 GHz network.
    Thx...

    A device will connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its own capabilities and distance in relation to the router.
    So, if you have a 5 GHz capable device that is in close proximity to the router, it will connect at 5 GHz.  If that device moves a few rooms away from the router, it will switch over to the 2.4 GHz band since that signal will be stronger....and likely faster at that location.
    Think of 5 GHz as a "same room" connection or "line-of-sight" deal. It might be OK through one wall....if it is thin.
    You do have an option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band in AirPort Utility. Once you have done that, simply "point" the device at the network with the 5 GHz name. Some users swear by this and some swear at this.
    The downside to doing this......the device will likely try to hang on to the 5 GHz connection if it moves a few rooms away from the router.....at a location where the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger and likely faster.
    Again, thanks for the very helpful response.
    It occurs to me from reading the above that it makes sense to let the device (using your words) connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its capabilities and distance in relation to the router as I can see / understand the downside and issue of manually pointing to or selecting  a specific network.
    The reason that I purchased an Apple router is the hope that it will work better than some of the other routers I have tried as far as the 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz dual banding is concerned because in most of these cases I have had to disable the 5 GHz band to maintain a reliable internet connection...hopefully the Aiport Extreme will not require me to do so [i.e. it will work]!
    With respect to *BOTH* the Primary Network and the Guest Network being dual band I can only conclude that this work because there are essentially two separates networks [i.e. 10.o.x.x and 172.16.x.x] that are using the send / receive configuration capabilities.
    Thx...

  • How to block mobile devices connected to internal Wi-Fi networks on Lync 2013

    How to block mobile devices connected to internal Wi-Fi networks on Lync 2013.
    we don't have lyncdiscoverinternal.contoso.com and lyncdiscover.contoso.com in internal DNS record, all mobile users are connecting from Internet, and we want it to be that way.
    So if I create the lyncdiscoverinternal.contoso.com record for Windows desktop clients autodiscover, how do I block internal mobile users from connecting to Lync??
    Praveen | MCSE Messaging 2003

    Hi Praveen,
    Based on my experience, one way to achieve this purpose you need to use the Reverse Proxy that is integrate with a Firewall (e.g. TMG 2010 , F5, etc…).
    Please have a look at the following picture.
    In Lync Server 2013,
    both the internal Mobility Service URL and the external Mobility Service URL are associated with the external Web Services FQDN.
     From the above picture, if you use a reverse proxy that is
    separate from the firewall, then the hairpin will be created,
     and cause the mobile client which connected to the internal Wifi will be able to
     access the external interface of the Reverse Proxy.
    In this situation, the mobile client which from Internet will not be effected.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • How to block one of wireless network

    Hi there,
    I have Airport Extreme with 2 wireless networks, one for my iMac and my wife’s iPad another one is for kids PCs. All of us are connected only wireless.
    Question, how shall I block the kids network my configuration, now when I block the Airport (Turn Off Airport) actually it’s only me who cannot use wireless network, all others still can do it. Purpose is to block the kids using the wireless network during the night. Now my solution is to pull out lan cable between Airport and ADSL modem.
    I believe there must be smarter way to do it, I just don’t know how. Could you please help,
    thanks

    Hello!
    Your Extreme can set time restrictions on when specific computers can access the network. You can configure them using AirPort Utility:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your Extreme in the sidebar, and press "Manual Setup." If you're asked for a password, enter it. Go to the "Access Control" tab and set "MAC Address Access Control" to "Timed Access."
    Now you can set up the time restrictions.
    To add a computer to the list, press the "+" button. You'll be presented with a dialog that will let you configure the time restrictions. You'll need to enter the device's MAC address. You'll also want to enter a description so that you'll know what device the restriction applies to.
    You can double-click the "(default)" entry to set restrictions on computers not on your list. When you're finished, press "Update" and allow your Extreme to restart.

  • How to add a second wireless network in my house..

    Hello,
    I have Verizon FIOS with the supplied Actiontec wireless modem/router M1424WR. This current setup works perfectly and has since I got it about 5 months ago.
    Note that all of my computers connect wirelessly.
    Here is what I would like to do and why:
    I have some weak reception spots upstairs (the Actiontec is located downstairs). I want to run cat5 from the Actiontec to an upstairs location and plug it into a WRT54G I just bought for this purpose. I want to have this upstairs WRT54G have it's own SSID so that I have two separate networks. I have no need for devices on the two networks to be able to communicate with each other.
    There is another reason I think I need the separate network; the Actiontec M1424WR has a known problem connecting with Xbox 360 wireless adapters. It can not connect to them with the current firmware. They are working on correcting it, but it may be a while and by installing an Xbox compatible wireless router (the WRT54G) upstairs, I am fixing two problems at once, the Xbox issue and the weak signal areas.
    I am not too experienced in this stuff, and it is my guess that extending my wireless network upstairs with the same SSID as the downstairs router would not work because the Xbox adapters can't connect to the downstairs located Actiontec.
    If anyone can tell me if my plan will work and tell me how to configure the router settings, it would be much appreciated. I am familiar with accessing and changing the router settings, I just don't know what settings to use!
    I am willing to change gears and buy something different if necessary.
    Thank you,
    Alan
    Edit: I know that I could use other wireless adapters on the Xboxes, but I really like the units made specifically for the 360's and want to stick with them.
    Another thought I had was to buy another WRT54G and place it next to the Actiontec downstairs and set up a roaming network using just the two WRT54G's. This way the Xboxes could connect throughout the network range. Again, I just don't know how to configure the devices.

    It all works, and quite well at that. I decided on the WRT54G to be wired to the M1424WR downstairs. I bought a WAP54G and cabled it up to the M1424WR as well. The WAP went into an upstairs closet.
    My laptop and PC's worked perfectly. I checked former dead spots and they were gone. I unplugged the WRT and the WAP one at a time and sure enough, the computers stayed connected.
    I struggled with the "Moderate NAT" problem for quite a while. The trick to get the "Open NAT" out of the M1424WR is to check the "Allow Other Network Users to Control Wireless Broadband Router's Network Features" box.
    Our two 360's connect to Xbox live perfectly, every time. We played "system link" connected H3 through the home network; my son in one room and me in another. He played H3 on Xbox Live a lot.
    We can not even see a perceptible difference in Halo3 performance on our new and improved wireless roaming network vs. wired. I get all green bars in every room in the house. I didn't even know about the ability for the 360 to access a PC on your network. I was playing music on my upstairs TV from my downstairs PC.
    Needless to say, it all works thanks to your help, gv!
    I do have one more question; since the M1424WR regretably must remain my main router due to it's proprietary television functions, I have to use it's webpage to check connection status, etc. Why does everything connected on my network show up there except the WAP54G? Wireless devices connecting through the WAP54G do show up, just not the WAP. The WRT does show up.
    Thank you,
    Alan

  • HT1178 I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to

    I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
    I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
    Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

    I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

  • How to merge wireless and ethernet networks?

    I have a TC with one Mac connected through ethernet and the other Mac and iOS devices connecting through wireless. How can I merge the ethernet network and the wireless network so that I can share iTunes libraries between the 2 Macs? Thanks

    Thanks for you help.
    This would take care of the "normal" file sharing between the 2 Mac. But I'm trying to use the iTune feature called Home Sharing, which allow sharing music etc among familly computers that are on the same network, independantly (as far as I understand) of any file sharing set up in the Mac OS. However my experience so far is that the 2 Mac between which I want to apply this Home Sahring feature have to be on the same network. Indeed even if I only have a TC as my router, the 2 Mac have to be on the same wireless network (main or guest). Since one of my Mac is on the ethernet network and the other on the wireless (main) this does not seam to work. I feel that somehow this Home sharing feature looks for the name of the network and make sure that the 2 computers between which I'm trying to enable sharing use the same network (i.e. same name). However the ethernet network does not have a name....
    For now, the solution is to have the ethernet wired Mac to also be connected on the wireless network. I'm just not sure how the OS is handeling the connection to 2 networks (hopefully giving priority to the faster/more reliable ethernet one).

    I can use safari on MAC to discover bonjour service on network, but how can i do that with safari on IPAD?
    Thanks a lot.

    unfortunately, You cannot get bonjour on ipad. But however, you can get a program on the mac (assuming you have a mac) called printopia (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/) which will turn your printer in to AirPrint when the mac is on. it works very well all the instructions are on the website

  • I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and a Netgear VPN Switch for wired connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect?

    I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and also have a Netgear VPN Switch (FV5318) for internal wired ethernet connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect to each other?

    Tesserax, I would like to keep the Airport Extreme in nplace before the Netgear FVS318 switch because I am using all of the 8 ethernet outputs distributed to 8 differerent locationsl  This way I can just use one of the LAN outputs from the Airport to feed the FVS318.  Here is what I think I am hearing you say:
    Tne reason why the wired and wireless devices are not communicating is because the FVS318G is also a DHCP server and in conflict with the AEBS.
    To remedy the situastion here is probably what I need to do in order:
    1. Change the LAN IP Address of the Netgear FVS318G to be the same subnet of the Airport Extreme.
    2. Then, disable the Netgear FVS318G as a DHCP server.
    3. Make sure the ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Airport Extreme connectis to the LAN port of the Netgear FVS318G.
    4. Restart everything.
    Can you provide me the steps I need to take to get the right IP addresses from the Airport Extreme to put into the Netgear to fix the conflict?  I have the Airport Utility.  I also have two airport express hot spots, and two Apple TVs in addition to computers attached to the 8 ethernet lines.
    Thank you.

  • 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 do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
    I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
    There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

    Each of you should have their own iCloud account  which could be set up in "Settings > iCloud" (and if you asking me also for iMessage and FaceTime), but you could still use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases which could be set up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" so that you only have to purchase each app or other media once.

  • How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?

    Hi,
    How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?
    I have emptied the iPhoto Trash but the photos in network folder are still not deleted.
    In iPhoto Preferences, Advance, Importing, I have UNCHECKED "Copy Items to iPhoto Library."
    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/philipcs/Screenshot2009-10-26at120221AM.p ng
    Please help. Thanks.

    iPhoto is a relational database management program and manages only items that it controls - items within its library - it does not and will not do anything with any photo that is not in the library except to delete photos from cameras after import - and this is not recommended
    You are running a referenced library and it is not recommended - it makes deleting photos more difficult as you are seeing, it makes importing photos more difficult and it makes replacing or upgrading hardware much more difficult
