How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

How do I setup my Airport Extreme so that I can extend the coverage of my existing AT&T wifi network?

Start by establishing a permanent fixed Ethernet cable connection from one of the available LAN <-> ports on the ATT modem/router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
Ethernet cabling can be run up to 300+ feet or 100 meters, so you should be able to locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it will be needed to provide more wireless signal coverage.
Configure the AirPort Extreme to "create" a wireless network using exactly the same wireless network name, same wireless security setting, and same wireless network password that the ATT wireless is using.
The final step is to insure that the AirPort Extreme is configured to operate in Bridge Mode, so it will work correctly with the ATT modem/router.
If you need more specific steps, we need to know what operating system you are using on your Mac or PC. If you have a Mac and do not know which operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

    How do I set up my iPad so that I can recieve the emails from my Outlook Express account

    Your iPad doesn't receive email from Outlook Express (or any other email client).  It receives email from your email provider.  To set up your email account on your iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap Add Account and add your email provider's account settings with your username and password.  iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail email settings are automatically entered by tapping the appropriate button.  Others must be manually entered by tapping Other.  (Exchange accounts will also require you to enter your email provider's settings.)

  • HELP! How do I configure an airport extreme card , so I can set up AEX base

    Hi
    I have had an iBook for a few years now with an Airport Extreme Card installed but not configured. Have just bought s/h Airport Extreme base station (cone shape) to go wireless, but am having MAJOR probs configuring the AEC to start with so I can set up the base station!
    It is asking me for a Client ID, to set Airport to DHCP?? this means nothing to me...
    How do I configure the card initially??
    Can anyone help, PLEEEASE??????

    purplemouse, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There is absolutely nothing you need to do to configure the AirPort Extreme card. After you install the card and boot the iBook, the OS recognizes the card.
    It is asking me for a Client ID...
    What is asking you for a client ID? This is not a normal prompt. What application are you running?

  • I have an airport extreme and am trying to extend the range of the wireless network with an airport express.  I set it up with the help of apple support, both lights are green on both airports, but the range didn't change.  What could be wrong?

    I am trying to extend the range of my wireless network by adding an airport express to an airport extreme.  I configured it with the help of apple support, but it hasn't changed the range that I can access the internet wirelessly in my house.  What could be the problem?  Does weather affect the wireless network??

    So, on the Extreme you checked the box to "allow this network to be extened" ?
    Correct?
    And on the Express, you set it up to "Extend a wireless network" ?
    Correct?
    See this Apple article and see if you missed anything...

    To learn about other options for expanding your Wi-Fi base station wireless network and things you should consider before expanding your network, click here.
    Set up: Components of an extended network
    ➊  Primary Wi-Fi base station (this is the base station connected directly to the Internet)
    ➋  Extended base station
    Configuring a wireless extended network
    To create a wireless extended network, you must place any extended Wi-Fi base stations within range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
    Start with the device that will be configured as the primary Wi-Fi base station.  Then configure your extended Wi-Fi base stations, ensuring that each is within direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.The physical location of extended Wi-Fi base stations will vary according to the building environment and may require some experimentation.
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

  • My old Time capsule was not working well.  I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme.  Now I can see the other airport express stations.  I tried resetting them, but it did not work.  What do I do?

    I replaced my old time capsule with a new airport extreme.  I have 3 airport express stations that I have all around the house.  (2 1st generation, 1 second generation).  I can't see them with airport utility.  I tried resetting, but no luck.  Any suggestions?

    Bring all the express to the same room as the mac you are using to setup the network..
    One by one, plug them in and do full factory reset on them.. they should then show up in the Airport utility as Other Wi-Fi devices (1) and you can select them and continue the setup.
    If that fails try using the airport utility on ipad or iphone as they are far less problematic than Yosemite in particular.

  • I have FIOS. I linked my FIOS router via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme.  I want to extend the range using an Airport Express wirelessly; however when I plug in the Express, the network does not find it.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Make sure the ethernet cord is plugged into the WAN port on the Aiport (the port with a circle of dots above it) and do a hard reset (hold the reset button until the light blinks rapidly.)  It will not automatically appear in the Airport Utiltiy. You are looking for the airport under the wifi menu after a few minutes or in Settings>Wifi on an iOS device that you can click to join and continue to setup.

  • How do i hide a connected clip so that i can see the master clip underneath?

    I am attempting to finalise a wedding video.  For some reason the XML output gets scrambled in the transition between Final Cut Pro X and Resolve, losing all the in/out points in those clips which were part of two continuous hour-long movies (the master clips).  The audio was scrambled at the same time.
    So I have reconstructed the clip sequence in Resolve, restoring the correct in/out points and I have removed the audio altogether.  I cannot export this back to FCP because the in/out points get scrambled again, so I have exported the timeline as a quicktime movie.
    Now, in FCP Pro X, I have the Quicktime movie sitting as a connected clip above the original FCP Pro X timeline.  But it is not quite in synch and I guess the edit points are not always frame for frame correct.  To match up the new and old timelines I would like to be able to turn the connected clip on and off - but I can't see how to do this and I am not sure it is even possible.
    I can skim the master track but this is very cumbersome.  Is there any way to turn off the connected clip as one would do in a normal editor with tracks?  Or is there a better way to align various points in the two tracks?

    Ha. great!  Thanks for that.  I did know that!  But I couldn't find it by searching the manual and I have spent the last week immersed in Resolve so I have forgotten all the FCP shortcuts already...

  • How do I cancel one itunes account so that I can use the email address from that account on my current account?

    I have had my itunes account connected to my work email address for the past few years.  I am now changing jobs and I am trying to change the email account connected to my itunes account.  When I entered my personal email account it says there was already an account associated with that email address but I've never used it for anything since I created it a long time ago.  Is there a way to cancel that account so that my personal email address is free to use on my current account that I currently have linked to my work email address?

    Maybe he's referring to renaming another iTunes Store account after making the email address null and available to be used. Otherwise, I agree with you that it is pointless.

  • How should I set up my VI so that I can use the linear fit coefficient data analysis program, when my values are coming from while loops within a sequence structure?

    I'm attempting to create a calibration program, using the printer port, and a Vernier Serial Box by modifying a calibration program designed for the serial box.
    There are six calibration points, and to collect them, I have it controlled by while loops so that the numbers are taken when a button is pushed, and this is inside a sequence structure so that I can get the six different points. I feed these numbers into two different arrays (for x and y values) and then try to use the linear coefficient analysis on these points, but the values for the slope and intercepts it returns are not correc
    t.
    If I cut out the array and coefficient analysis, and feed the same numbers in directly without the while loop and sequence structures, it produces the proper values... I don't know why the numbers it is producing are different, and I'd really like to know.
    Thanks,
    Karinne.

    I would use a data manager sub-vi that would be called by each from of the sequence structure that produced a data point. The data manager sub-vi could auto append new items or could place items in a specific entry of an array. Later on when you want to calculate the linear fit, call the sub-vi to return the array of values.

  • How do I route my mixing desk so that it can control the mixer in logic?

    I recently purchased a new set of monitors a mixing desk and a two channel usb device to operate them through my mac.I plugged the usb device into one of the usb ports and the monitors into output channel of the usb device, logic recognizes the device instantly and I can get sound through them.I then connect two cables(left and right) running from the main outputs of the mixing desk into the input channel of the usb device and then try moving the faders to see if it interacts with logics mixer but no joy.I have all the E Q's and the gains up but it seems no signals are running through it as none of the channel strip meters are lighting up,the mixing desk is a Behringer XENYX 1832 and the usb device is a UCA200 is there something I have to do in logic first to get the desk to interact like assigning it to logics mixer or going through some sort of preference menu or have I simply got it routed incorrectly? Any experienced advice would be valuable as this is the first time I have used a mixing desk.
    cheers

    The faders on your mixer are for controlling audio going through it's channels. Nothing to do with Logic.
    In order to have faders that control Logic, you must have a mixer or control surface capable of talking to Logic via MIDI. What you have will not do it.

  • How I save text to a PDF so that I can email the changes?

    I just downloaded adobe acrobat reader for my iPhone 4S. Every time I add text to a PDF and then email it, the recipients never receive the annotated file. They only receive a blank PDF. I don't see any feature to save changes. Please help.

    The changes are saved automatically. Unfortunately, some PDF viewers don't support viewing annotations. One such viewer is the PDF viewer built into iOS and included in the iOS mail app, Safari and other apps like dropbox. Please ensure that your recipients are viewing the PDF in a viewer that supports annotation viewing like the Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Store, MacOSX or Windows. Some of our competitor's apps support annotation viewing as well, but we're obviously biased towards our own =).

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

  • How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?

    OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
    I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support.

  • How do I access my airport extreme drives online

    how do I access my airport extreme drives over the internet?

    Here are the basic steps to share an AirPort Disk over the Internet.
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn,) and then, note the IP address shown.
    Select Manual Setup.
    Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
    Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
    Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
    Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
    Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
    Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
    Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
    For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
    In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
    In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    Click on Update.
    To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
    From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
    Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
    Click Connect.
    You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
    Click Connect.
