  • How do i set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based PC

    How do I set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based pc?

    To mount the AirPort Disk in Windows 7 or Vista:
    Open the Network browser by double-clicking Network on the Windows Desktop.
    The AirPort Extreme base station name should appear in the browswer.
    Double-click the name and you should get a login prompt.
    Now depending on how you set up disk access:
    In the Name field, either enter the user account name or for base station/disk access, leave this field blank.
    In the Password field, enter the base station, disk, or user account password.
    Select the volume(s) you want to mount, and then, click OK.

  • How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games locally

    How do I set up my Airport Extreme to best use multiplayer games with my family. Everyone is located in the same house and uses the same router.
    I have tried a few games but have not  successfully connected  2 players

    That is a weird question, as your GAMES could be interpreted a hundred different ways. Are we talking about third party devices here or what?

  • How can I set up an Airport Extreme as a router, in conjunction with my AT&T modem/router?

    I am trying to set up an Airport Extreme as my router, and I am currently using an AT&T modem/router combo. I am wondering what would be the easiest way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. This cable must remain in place permanently.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Click on Other WiFi Devices
    Click on AirPort Extreme xxxxx
    The utility will take a moment to analyze the connection, then a screen similar to this will appear with your AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express
    Type in a short simple name that you want to use for the wireless network
    Type in a device name for the AirPort Extreme
    Enter a password that will be used for both the AirPort Extreme and wireless network
    Verify the password
    Click Next
    The utility will setup everything for you. When the message of Setup Complete appears, click Done and close AirPort Utility.
    The AirPort Extreme wireless network is now available.

  • How do I set up my AirPort Extreme  to provide IP addresses without being connected to the Internet?

    II'm trying to set up my AirPort Extreme in the field without an Internet connection so that devises can communicate wirelessly but there aren't any IP addresses being generated

    Just run the AE in router mode.. if you have difficult with the setup do it completely manually..
    This is how I do it.
    Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs
    As long as the AE is running in DHCP and NAT mode it will produce IP addresses.. however you cannot turn off WAN.
    You could give it a static IP .. so set to static instead of dhcp if you like.. eg.
    DNS and WAN errors.. double NAT, Ethernet unplugged, etc.. so it makes no real difference..
    The AE will function fine as router (Wireless AP) to your network however..
    Just ignore all the errors.

  • How do I set up an Airport Extreme as a router?

    I need to make sure my Airport Extreme is set up as a router and NOT a bridge. I cannot find anything about this on Apple's manuals, the forums nor the interwebs in general. Has someone done this before?
    Currently I have the Airport Extreme working as a WiFi seemelessly. I have two devices connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet ports but only one is communicating. The other (a solar microconverter) is not communicating with the router. Cables work, I have unplugged and replugged everything, YES, everthing! Both devices have little green lights lit up next to the port they are plugged into.
    Can anyone out there just tell me how I can either make sure it is set up as a router or how to change the Airport Extreme to work as a router.
    I'm pretty desperate at this point.
    TIA

    In AirPort Utility 5.6:
    In AirPort Utility 6 click on your device.
    The device shouldn't be in bridge mode if you want it to act as a router.

  • HT4259 How do I set up an Airport Extreme Base Station (v. 7.6.1) to allow wireless network extension?

    I have an Airport Extreme Base station (purchased in 2009) and an Airport Express base station (purchased in 2011 - the model that plugs directly into the electrical outlet) (both version 7.6.1 according to the Airport Utility info).  I want to use the Airport Express to extend my wireless network.  Using Airport utility setup I have a software option on the Airport Express to set it up to extend the network but I do not have an option on the Airport Extreme wireless setup screen that I can check to allow my wireless network to be extended. 
    All of the documentation I can find on Apple Support states that I should have an option I can check to allow the wireless network to be extended while in the wireles setup section for the Airport Extreme in Airport Utility; but, that check option isn't there.  Is this a case of my Airport Extreme base station being too old to offer that option?  Incidentally, when I try to select the extend wireless network option on the Airport Express from the Airport Utility wireless setup menu I get an error message (no details - just an error message).  The same Airport Express sets up fine if I select join a network (not what I want to do).  Am I just dealing with outdated equipment or does anyone have a suggestion?  Thanks.

    Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
    Temporarily, move the Express to the same general area as your AirPort Extreme and power it up and wait a minute.
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 9-10 seconds and then release. Give the Express a full minute to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Click on AirPort Express just below that and AirPort Utility will automatically open
    Wait a minute while AirPort Utility analyzes the network and announces that the Express will be configured to "Extend" the AirPort Extreme network.
    Enter a device name for the AirPort Express and click Next
    Wait another minute to allow the configuration to occur.
    When you see the Setup Complete message, click Done.
    Now move the Express to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage
    Power up the Express and you are all set.  Trash those old instructions.

  • How do I set up my Airport Extreme to create a LAN without being connected to the internet?

    I'm trying to set up a POS(point of sale) for my small restaurant. ADSL internet is not available at the site. I have set up my system(finally)while hooked up to my router at home, however my system will not work when disconnected from my router. How can I configure the Airport to operate my printers without an internet connection?

    First off- Thanks for taking the time to answer me.
    I have 2 Star Micronic Ethernet connection printers that I hope to operate using a POS software interface called Ambur.
    The program is pretty straight forward and while my Airport Extreme was WAN ethernet connected to my D-Link Router, I had the program and printers integrated and operating surprisingly easily.
    My issue is that I don't have internet available at the restaurant, so I need to create a network without an internet connection.
    I did the hard reset and the rest.
    Now I have the same configuration, but not connected through the router, trying to acheive the same result, but its not connecting.
    I've tried programming the software with every IP address, including the ones that worked while connected to the other router, to no avail.

  • How can I set a second Airport Extreme to not allow wireless clients?

    I have two Airport Extremes. One is the main, and one is a remote unit used to extend my wireless network. I only want the remote Extreme to be able to use the LAN ports via ethernet to provide connectivity to my home theater gear. I don't want it to allow wireless clients, even though the two Extremes are wirelessly linked. Is this possible? I know it is on the Express, and I'd like to do that here. Thanks.

    A simple solution might be.......
    Use AirPort Utility 5.6 or earlier and click the Manual Setup option on the extending Extreme.
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network"
    Remove the check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"

  • I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

    The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

    The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
    No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
    Radio Mode = Automatic
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
    Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Update to save settings and restart the entire network
    Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

  • How do you set up an Airport Extreme to extend the range of a Verizon router?

    Basically I want to know if the new Airport Extreme can be used fro extend the range of a Verizon modem/router?

    Not by wireless. The apple routers can act as repeaters only to another apple router.
    You can use ethernet or homeplug (EOP adapter) to place the Airport in another location where you need wireless and set it up in bridge mode.
    Or you can buy another airport.. a cheap second hand extreme is very possible.. plug that into  the Verizon by ethernet and extend with the second apple wireless.. but nope.. you cannot do it directly.

  • How do I set up an Airport Extreme Base Station ("Snow") for use as fax (on

    I'm on a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio version without a built-in modem. I already have a Linksys wireless network set up between my Mac and PC laptop. So... I don't want to use the wireless networking on the Airport...
    I just want to configure the Airport Base Station to use the built in 56K modem so that I can fax directly off the Mac. I did that on my old computer that had a built in modem, but I need to know how to configure this G4 and Base Station modem to perform this task.
    Please help me connect the right wires (does the G4 connect to the base station with USB?). Then the power cord, and an RJ11 line from the phone to the airport base...
    And what software (the used airport I bought doesn't have a software disc).
    Thanks for any help!

    Saxparilla, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but the modem inside the AirPort base station (ABS) has NO ability to FAX at all.

  • How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly

    How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
    Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
    A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
    We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".
